My mind is not made up on Mr. Ford. He's mighty conservative for a Democrat and he talks about God more than Huckabee. I'll just have to watch for a while and see what kind of animal he is.

The Republicans sure slimed him in 2006, so that makes me think he must be OK if they hate him. Of course it could just be the color of his skin that upsets them. Last thing America needs is another DINO who think he gets his marching orders from an unseen higher power.

He was 26. But that's still ridiculously young.

Ford is a loser. Classic DLC.. He should have won his senate race last year hands down and many a grass roots activists who supported McCaskill, Webb, Testor etc. made a clear decision to stay away from Ford who was moving ever more right each day of his campaign.

His type of politics are exactly what is wrong with D party in the south especially but also the D party presidential candidates for the last couple of decades. Corporate fascism and fear the right wing nuts to the point you simply become the same thing.

Like it or not their is actual debate inside the D party in this country and the DLC is on the wrong side... look no further than Hillary and what she said on five separate network appearances yesterday (War forever, big insurance forever)... Look no further than the mechanizations of Rahm Emmanuel during last years campaign.. Look no further than Harold..a loser who is embraced by the DLC anyway.. Look no further than Lieberman and Pryor.

These people look nice on surface, a little less angry than the angry talibangelical republicans, but ultimately get us in the exact same place the Cheney neo nuts and the neo Isreali lobby wants us to be..

Hillary the DLC candidate and Harold want power most of all and intend to feed the giant corporate contributors.. not work for peace, not serve the people, not honor the constitution..

Just look at what Hillary is NOT doing as a sitting US Senator right now.. Just listen carefully to her thinly veiled expensive consultant rich words yesterday.. It was Bush in a pant-suit!

I wish I found Hillary more satisfying than I do. I'm pretty sure she has my vote anyway, but staying in Iraq is a loser to me. We didn't stay in North Korea or Vietnam after we decided those wars were mistakes. I might be OK with keeping troops in Afghanistan, but it remains the forgotten country now completely covered in opium poppies.

I remained very worried that everyone in Congress knows America will have that oil no matter what we have to do to steal it. It would explain the Democrats inaction, it would explain the many giant permanent US bases we've build in Iraq since the war started. I'd bet the farm they all know things we don't know. So we sit on the sidelines and cheer or boo and they laugh because they already know the final score of the game before halftime.

I need to study more but I don't think I like Hillary's ideas on national health care. Remember when the law was passed saying everyone in Arkansas MUST have auto insurance? Wouldn't you like a state or Federal law that required everyone to buy your product? Was I high during the 23 seconds when auto insurance rates went down to an affordable level? Twat are you paying now fellow citizens?

The truth of the matter is, in order for people like me to get national health care, universal health care...whatever you wish to call it, in order for it to come about means the death of big insurance, big Pharma, and giant hospital systems as we know them. Osama isn't as hard to kill as the people on that list. No giant insurance company wants to be told what they can and cannot do, what they can charge, who they must cover.

They're going to fight tooth and nail because it will be a life or death struggle. Hillary wants to keep them around and make a deal where everyone will have to buy from them and in return they'll make health insurance affordable. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn I wanna sell you.

We will see victory in Iraq before we'll see big insurance give up and go home. Outside of being circumcised again, I can't think of anything more painful than a law requiring everyone in the country to buy health insurance at a jacked-up rate. Starve to death to pay your insurance premium or go to jail......can you hear me voting with a tapping toe for jail?

I want what Canada has. I want what England has. I want what Congress has. If they can do it, we can do it. If Cheney-Bush can run us a trillion in debt to wage war, let's go 2 trillion and see that everyone sick person can get free medical treatment.

Hillary said...

"I've reached the conclusion that the best way to support our troops is begin bringing them home," the New York senator and former first lady told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."

"I don't believe we should continue to vote for funding that has an open-ended commitment, that has no pressure on the Iraqi government to make the tough political decisions they have to make, or which really gives any urgency to the Bush administration's diplomatic efforts."

Clinton's declaration comes as the Senate debates the Defense Department's 2008 spending authorization bill. It follows her vote against a $120 billion war-spending bill in May, when Congress dropped a call for the withdrawal of American combat troops by March 2008 after President Bush vetoed a bill containing that provision."

I'm so CONFUSED, will she or wont she?
