To bad for all the bs hillary had put obama through she won't even be considered by him for the VP spot. Look for a different VP to emerge not Clinton, no way.

The primitive clash of sides, as the issues lose importance to competition and who's side, already decided for you, will win. Billions of dollars change hands, and favours are promised for later. You chose your side, and make your vote under the illusion you/it counts, and cheer for the winner oblivious to the reality of what your vote really means.
Unrelenting obedience to a master who only keeps you around as long as you follow their rules, and follow the 'normal' life that has been slowly conditioned into society to make you easier to control and exploit.
The vote you cast just legitimises the system of devide and control. You give away your power, and resign your liberty, as you give them power over you and put them above the law.

It's not as if their game isn't blatantly obvious...

There is no authority but yourself.

The possession of power has a maddening influence; parliaments have always wrought unhappiness.
In ruling assemblies, in a fatal manner, the will prevails of those below the average, both morally and intellectually.
To vote is to prepare shameful treachery and traitors.
To put on others' shoulders the responsibility of one's actions is cowardice. Don't vote!Emma Goldman 1869-1940


So you all pin your hopes on the false dichotomy that is Democracy in America.

"Well atleast he isnt like Mcsame" < insert another irrational argument for voting for another puppet just a different color>

Who cares about Obama's involvement with the CFR or giving speeches at AIPAC or his dismissal of the importance of plans for a NAU.

Some helpful facts:

Obama voted for the reauthorization of the patriot act.

Obama doesn't oppose a war with Iran.

Obama voted to sustain the war in Iraq in 2006.

Lots of CHANGE their.

MMMMmmmm lip service, i love it.

Ask an Obama supporter what his change represents this is what you get in return:

Wow thats a really good summation of the policies he has that is going to drive this change he speaks of. Instead of old rhetoric we have new rhetoric but its still rhetoric..........

Anyone who is getting excited about this election doesn't see the thin veil of democracy that hangs over the true fascism behind this political system.

Hey guess what obama, mcsame and hilldog are all in the CFR.


They are just the same S%#T in different buckets.

You forgot one additional bit of info: He has openly stated that he would attack terrorist camps in Pakistan, whether the Pakistani government likes it or not. Kind of sounds like 'You're either with us, or against us', doesn't it? The Pakistanis weren't too happy about it, either.

You know what I think? The Democrat in Congress are against this war in Iraq because it is politically expedient to be against the war in Iraq. Their opposition is all BS and they will find some excuse to continue the war, just like the current administration.

I have said it before I am not an Obama supporter per say... I liked Edwards... but since it came down to the choice between him and Clinton... I chose Obama.

The thing that really bites my oh so ample butt is that the Obama bashers on here go from bordering on the obscene to the absurd.

The simple fact is this; Barack Obama has only gotten this far because the ruling elite, the status quo has determined that they have nothing to fear from him... He's not a socialist... he's not a communist... he's not a Marxist... He's not a Muslim... and he is not going to sell America out to some ill defined group of terrorists.

He is liberal but liberal in a way that the ruling elite can accept or he would have been shot down (like Howard Dean was... do you really think that pep rally scream was all THAT big of a deal?) long before now...

The die has been cast and the ruling elite has decided that they can live with Barack Obama or John McCain... and so they are our choices.

... They have also decided that they do not like Hillary Clinton but for some reason, probably bull headed egotism, she has not gotten the hint and the longer she holds out the slimmer her political future becomes.

My money is on either an Obama/Richardson ticket or an Obama/Clarke ticket... an Obama/Edwards ticket would be too green... its one thing if one of them is but not both.

Bill Richardson would bring an amazing amount of experience to the ticket, not to mention the Hispanic vote... and that is the one I am betting he is going to go with.

Gen. Wesley Clarke would be a connection with both the south (Arkansas) and the military and with his foreign policy experience through his leadership of NATO he would again be a counter balance to Obama's lack of it.

An Obama/Clinton ticket would be way too problematic... first and foremost what to do with Bill... second with their power base and egos, they would be more of an internal threat to Obama than a help.

No matter who is chosen as VP, they are going to be a power in and of themselves... a secondary or co-president as it were. Bill Clinton started the process by giving Al Gore something more to do besides sitting around hoping his boss dies, like Bush senior did and all of the preceeding VP's before him... Then bush minor excelerated the process by giving cheney the dick so much power that under him the VP itself became a force to be reckoned with... and since power rarely ebbs from a base once it gets it... like it or not it is something now that has to be considered... especially by the candidate... Obama will have to chose more carefully now and consider whether the VP will help enchance his power or be a source of conflict.

I know a little something about this... I live in Virginia, a state where the executive is divided between the governor and the Lt. Governor and the Attn. General... a full ticket runs for these offices and it often happens that the Governor is one party and the Lt. Governor is the other as happened under Mark Warner when the Lt. Governor, Jerry Kilgore ran his office by his own agenda and was constantly at odds with the governor... its a sloppy way to do business.
