I'm tired of hearing about how a small segment of society (yet seemingly many, as the news makes it seem) would take marching orders from conservative propagandists, shouting nonsense and misinformation, and being outright disrespectful and rude to those who actually want to fix health care. How should I respond to this situation, if this even warrants a response at all?

The answer to high gas prices? Offshore drilling! Of course, when prices are high and we're running out of oil decades from now, without a plan to switch from oil to alternatives- well, carpe diem, live for today!

Republicans, for all the flack they get, are finally sticking up for the middle class. They stayed in Capitol Hill today even after Congress was shut down, not for photo ops or the very "political theater" they so denounce, but to stand up for our right to cheaper gas.

The Clinton supporters have every right to boycott the site if they wish. I didn't visit the site when the bloggers were supporting Edwards- I was backing Obama then. After Edwards dropped out, I came back to see who the bloggers were supporting now, and, after the transition, I made the pilgramage to the Rec list daily.

And, due to the request from a comment:

OK, let me take a deep breath
You argued caucuses were not democratic
You argued there was vote-rigging in Nevada (forget the lawsuit)
You argued that Americans weren't yet letting their voices be heard when BO swept SC two to one
You sent a memo downplaying the difficulties independents faced in voting in CA, as though you really cared about getting the vote count right
For whatever reason, the BO camp complained about voting irregularities in the state of LA
3 ballot boxes found in the home of a NM supporter during a close count
I heard you say, "I'm not here to watch the Republicans take it away from us" and probably believed you (the polls of her against McCain should have been more than enough)

NOW the superdelegates are more democratic?! The people you call next to a page of favors owed. Next to calls of "We'll remember you later"? (See Newsweek)

It's good to be in the west coast, where you don't have to stay up so late to know results. Here's my thoughts:

Obama- He's recycling his old speeches. Which are good speeches, but come on. This is in front of a gazillion cameras. Get more wonkish, more specific. I like your record, but it's time for more policies and less "The dream of the teacher is the same as the dream of the..."

McCain stole Obama's line! I have the "Fired up, ready to Go" Obama pin to prove it. And when he said it at the end of his speech...didn't sound convincing. But still! This reminds me of those "Ready for Change" (whatever that means) Hillary signs.

Hillary- I probably won't show any liking of her until she become the nominee, legitamately, that is. Good speech, though. The less she talks about Barack, the more favorable she seems to me.

Wisconsin- the latest poll includes independent voters! Obama surpasses Clinton on Democrats only by the slightest of margins. And Republicans are inevitably going to go vote for Clinton at each opportunity. So go volunteer, after all, the more votes, the more delegates.

A major factor people back McCain is because of his integrity and political courage. So why not have a veep who had the Feingold in McCain-Fiengold? He had some presidential ambitions, so he might accept. And while we'll miss his role in the senate, Mark Warner is coming to town in '08.

As I'm sure we have all heard by now, Cheney had said, some 9 years before the current war, some of the liberal talking points that are being spoken today. Some of the comments on the Youtube video say that the interview must be fake, a voiceover. This isn't too difficult to accept for conservatives who have already disowned reality as the only logical explanation for continuing to support this administration.
