Does Anyone Recall John Kerry Promising Our Votes Would Be Counted?
All this in fighting is allowing our focus to become disorietented...were the votes counted accurately? Was the voting fraud issue addressed to each and every Democratic individual's satisfaction? Was the money Sen Kerry raised from we the voters to ensure our votes were counted used to our satisfaction and the desired result?

If not folks, that 08 is in serious trouble...

FOCUS on the prize and NOT just your personal choice for democratic nominee or you can forget winning anything...

How bad do you want your personal candidate to win?

Enough to ensure we all lose by continuing to scream and stomp your feet instead of Ensuring a DEM gets in the whitehouse?


Everyone has a right to feel fear and be suspect of Sen clinton's motives as does others have a the right to question Sen Obama's lack of experience especially in site of whom we are up against but NONE of you have a right to continue this childish and self defeating temper tantrums when announcing if your candidate doesn't win the nom you won't vote....

But go ahead continue to play into Rove and company's manipulative way of keeping us divided...and this time he won't be to blame, you will because you are well aware of how they work...and yet allowed them to play us anyway...

You can't please everyone all the time but we can have a Democratic President in the white house instead of the filth who are hell bent on destroying our country...

Decisions, decisions.....

2. Not them, US, As hard as it may be for others to realize, Not one
of them can be seen as perfect yet some refuse to want to settle for anything less, are they the party? Or are we? I just get the feeling that most people are just not realizing what is going on these days. The war still rages, injustices still abound, voter fraud has not been investigated though Sen Kerry did ask for donations before 04 in order to pay lawyers in do that very investigation...as far as I know such never occurred.

Sen clinton is not perfect, nor is Sen Obama, nor was Kunick though some would surely argue with my opinion on that score but at this point in time we have no choice but to fight for a Dem in office, I think we have more power than we realize because if we did not, they wouldn't be so scared that they are ensuring that disrupting the base Dems is paramount..

Ask yourself why would they do that if they didn't fear us the people?


Let them know from this point on, regardless of who wins the primary you might not like it but you will fight for them and stand behind them, winners unite, dividers fall, old tactics used over and over again...we cannot let history repeat itself or allow ourselves to be seen as so weak that we are so easily swayed to forget whom the real enemy is....

3. The DNC has put together a formidable team to prevent voter fraud
in addition, this isn't 2000 or 20004. If the GOP is still this well oiled theft machine, how come they didn't steal even of of the 3 Congressional special elections this spring, all held in heavily repuke districts?

4. Fraud by voters isn't the problem, and a DNC team isn't so reassuring after Kerry's empty promises.
I agree that the GOP isn't what it was in 2004. Certainly, many of the local actors ion the '04 theft were smugly emboldened by the political climate of GOP invulnerability and entitlement (e.g., the terror threat in Warren Cty OH BOE, Volusia Cty FLA, the dismissal by the press). However, it is likely that some of the electronic systems at risk don't require much more than a technician with access. Why didn't they flip the recent special elections, or 2006 for that matter? One can speculate, I guess. However, there was plenty to indicate fraud before Kerry conceded. So when do they return the check I sent Kerry for his anti-theft team? It still stings.
