So you have a problem with Tibet having a freedom because you think it promotes the neocon agenda? Good gracious -- now I have heard everything.  This whole line of thought is insane here Jerry. The Dalai Lama has been a leader in exile for what 50 years now (promoting peaceful resisitance) and some how he&#039;s involved with the Nazi&#039;s.  :roll:

I&#039;m not sure whether to laugh or cry.</description>

		<description>Janis, 

Hopefully Pennsylvania will make the point about Pastor Wright. 
If not then, they&#039;ll get the point when she sweeps the rest of the mid-west and KY and WV..The upcoming states in her favor are big compared to the ones Obama would win. Obama&#039;s states have about 13 million. Hillary&#039;s states have about 27.5 million people. 

I&#039;m just hoping that the superdelegates will sit it out long enough for these contests to take place. And that the media hasn&#039;t brain washed the balance of the electorite by then.

These superdelegates make me very nervious. I&#039;m afraid that the good old boys will stick together and go with Obama. Howard Dean was encouraging them to align with a candidate sooner than later. He impresses me as being against Clinton too. 

We have to make it clear that if they shove Obama down our throats, we won&#039;t vote for him!!!!!!</description>

		<description>bjeryberg: There&#039;s something wrong with (among many other things) the two party system. Until we fracture the political &quot;duolith&quot; by hitting with a force as substantial as a constitutional convention we are not going to help people to regroup with others who really share their limited core interests. And when that happens we&#039;ll be able to form enough parties to successfully pull off the conversion to a Parlimentary System. At that point we would gain political accountability to a degree that seems only like a mirage to us.</description>

		<description>Let the record show that the Cheney-protecting, War-against-China promoting Speaker of the House Pelosi prefers Senator Obama. 

Say what you like about  Brad Pitt&#039;s movie career--in the real world of 2008 those promoting the politically dubious Dalai Lama are promoting Cheney&#039;s war plans against China.

Why should it be surprising that the same Speaker Pelosi who declined to prosecute VP Cheney for his many crimes now supports his next war?



Did  you think that the the neo-cons love of war ended in Iraq?</description>

I&#039;ve seen Seven Years in Tibet - it is a great movie about the Dalai Lama in his younger years. Do you know anything about Tibetan Buddhism? I think not or else you would not be repeating these foolish claims about the Dalai Lama.  

Enough with the Dalai Lama conspiracy theories please - I am very short on patience today and have a lot of paper work to catch up on tonight.</description>

		<description>Interesting comment, Darrell. 

But there is not any thing wrong with the Constitution--there is something wrong with the Democratic Party. 

Nancy Pelosi is cheerleading for the Nazi-like regime imposed in Tibet by the Dalai Lama. Cheney agrees and seeks war, over it with China. 
( The Brad Pitt character in the movie&#039; 7 years in Tibet&#039; was a Nazi Intelligence operative.)

No wonder that Pelosi, the &#039;private equity fund manger&#039;s&#039; wife blocked any and all efforts to impeach Cheney!

If you do not wish to swim in the right-wing&#039;s sewer--avoid at all costs Wall Street&#039;s favorite Dem,  Hedge Fund Manager, Al Gore--the now wealthy man-- who threw the 2000 election.</description>

Sorry but not all of the Superdelegates for Obama are former presidential candidates. Most Superdelegates are elected officials and party heirarchy. 

I think we all could have done with out the right wing talking points about Kennedy. He&#039;s been a strong liberal leader in the Senate for decades. I don&#039;t agree with his choice to back Obama but regardless he still has my respect and support in the Senate.</description>

		<description>The game is not checkers, it&#039;s politics.

My first choice would be to use a Constitutional Convention to reinvent the entire system, and give our society a jump start down a far better road than that which we&#039;re on.

Barring that, the only two real choices seem to be to either succumb to apathy, or to find something to help block out the worst of the smell, and climb on down into the swamp. Oh, and be grateful about the decision to not swim in the right wing sewer.</description>

		<description>Obama&#039;s recent appearance in NYC was emceed by corporatist privatizer Mayor Bloomberg. 

Bloomberg,  of course, provided the money and the manpower that re-elected Joe Lieberman in 2006 over Ned Lamont. 

 Bloomberg is a post-partisan, privatize-everything Wall Street Billionaire kind of guy.

 Why would Obama want such a person to introduce him? 

What is Sen Obama&#039;s actual economics? 

Sen Obama and his wife&#039;s financial connection to the University of Chicago and its Milton Friedman and George Schultz tradition gives me pause. 

 Obama has spent his Hillary-bashing campaign chanting  &#039;Yes , we can,&#039; without being very specific as to who the &#039;WE&#039; is?

If Sen. Edwards has any principle at all--and I think he does--how could he endorse that kind of Wall Street-scripted vagueness and call himself a Democrat?</description>
