SOLD to the HIGHEST BIDDER!!
Once again the Democratic Party is bought out by corporate America. My party drives me fucking nuts! We cry about not impeaching Bush, we cry about Iraq, we cry about Habeas Corpus, we cry about NCLB, we cry about election reform, and every other fricking thing we cry about!

You lemmings out there grouse about things not changing, yet you continue to support corporate candidates and the Washington beltway! When will you pull you heads out and get a clue.

WHEN WILL MY PARTY STOP VOTING FOR "ROCK STARS" AND START VOTING ON ISSUES! VOTERS BUYING INTO THE MEDIA HYPE AND HORSE/MONEY RACE UTTERLY DISGUST ME. THIS COUNTRY TRULY IS GOING TO HELL!!

I have not abandoned my party, my party has abandoned me!

FLAME AWAY MOFO'S!

p.s. Congrats to Obama and his supporters. Fuck you M$M!

2. Kerry had to finance his own damn campaign
And y'all said he was buying the election because he paid for it himself.

Obama has nearly 500,000 donors - and you STILL complain.

Just because your candidate doesn't win - it does not mean the candidate who does win is the corporate candidate.

6. How about just saying, "Congrats, Barack?"
Obama has a great organization that did remarkable work on the ground and raised trailerloads of money. I don't support him in the primary - I like Edwards - but you have to give the guy props. He did an amazing thing tonight.

7. No, how about THIS....
If the Democratic Party wants to become Republican Party Lite, Edwards should run as an INDEPENDENT.

10. That would make me very sad
I expect a real Dem to support the people's choice, and I have no doubt John will do precisely that.

15. John Edwards is not stupid and spiteful
He wants change.

An independent bid would not allow that. That's why he's running as a a Democrat and I wish him luck. I'll likely vote for him myself in the primary. I like him. I like his passion and his liberal-populist message.

I also think it's important to recognize the fact that Obama raised millions of dollars in SMALL donations.

9. What are you talking about?
The corporatist candidate came in third. And the professing anti-corporate candidate came in second, despite the lack of media coverage of him.

It's not Kucinich, obviously (and who would have been my preference) but it's hardly the best night for corporatism. Hell, even on the Repuke side, they would have much rather had Willard Romney of BAIN Capital Inc. over Mike Huckleberry of Sheepsback Arkansas.

11. idiotic post.
Obama's funds overwhelmingly come from very small donors.

Fuck stupidity and mendacity.

13. Thank you for not making 'sold' a slavery metaphor.
I can't explain why, just that I'm glad that you didn't.
