What a disappointment: Eight years of Bush & now THIS...

Gore should be the nominee. He is the only person who has the experience, character, and vision to actually lead this country.

Obama and Clinton are corporate shills.

I was trying to support Hillary, she is smart and she is tough, but her ambition has overcome her. And, she has royally pissed me off with her vote on crowning Iran's army terrorists and lacking the vision to realize what a mistake voting for the Iraq resolution would be. She has mountains of corporate ties and her main money is from corporate donations. Out of two evils, I choose her as the lesser, but we are talking less then a hair's breath.

Obama people, don't get smug. Your boy was atrocious in the fight to filibuster the nomination of Alito to the Supreme Court. He publicly decried the progressive movement's fight for the filibuster - he went on national tv and spewed his bipartisan bs (the same bs he is running on now - NEITHER of them are calling for accountability for the past seven years, neither will come out against signing statements). He reluctantly agreed to support the filibuster AFTER tearing down our efforts and AFTER it was crystal clear we didn't have the votes. DU was in a rage then about Barack. We were betrayed. He has no practical experience. And, he comes across as entitled and arrogant (and I am SICK to death of those qualities, we have had them for the past seven plus years). He utilized an anti-gay ex-homosexual to win votes in the south, a move that should have disqualified him from getting any progressive support.

And, they BOTH consider nuclear energy as part of a viable solution for the energy crisis.

They BOTH are consumate narcisstic self absorbed politicians. A less substantive debate between two dems has never been seen. Hillary never should have run, she is too divisive. And, Obama should never have even considered a Presidential run this early on. When you think about it, it is mind boggling.

This country is on the verge of the Great Depression II. Our military is broken. Our very planet may not be able to sustain life and breath in the next FIFTY years. We need a mature adult. Not a rockstar, not a pre-madonna.

Man, do we need Gore.

2. I like Obama, but if Gore jumps in
I'll drop Barack like a hot potato. How about a Gore/Obama ticket?

3. BTW, it's prima donna. Coincidentally, prima donna is Italian for first lady.
