I’m actually tired of this political warfare amongst candidates. Its getting out of hand.

Now that would be something if Condi made history before everybody (Obama & Clinton).

I agree w/ # 1. Stop the beef. HIstory would be made w/ Condi and Obama but I don’t want anybody who had anything to do w/ George Bush anywhere near the White House!

The Republicans are behind the scenes trying to stir up whatever they can between Clinton & Obama. If they’re not careful, McCain’s old dusty ass is gonna sneak up and steal the title of President for the next four years. Then we’re going to Iran. WWIII.

well it’s about time she finally released those tax returns. it’s the least she could do. you know they’re gonna be picked apart for any little discrepancies now. lol

Condi for VP… awe hells naw!

i think condi is a great choice for mccain foreign policy wise. but he needs an economy strong hold right now and she isnt that.

If McCain picks Condi for VP then my vote will be set for McCain/Rice 08.

condi is the dark price’s right hand woman. her hands are bloody as hell btwn dafur and iraq and afghanistan etc….i don’t care if she runs w/thAT old fart, just as long as the republicans DON’T WIN. she’s shady and should go down in history w/the evil bush empire b/c she’s part of it no matter her skin color.

@4

Yeah it’s the Republicans doing all the behind the scenes stuff to stir the pot, but you you phrased it wrong, it’s the media. The media is controlling the whole election process. The majority of the media are republicans and their creation is Obama. They are only building Obama up to tear him down if he gets the nod. John McCain is who they want to win, and at the rate we are going, he can almost just walk into the white house. I am not an Obama supporter, but I respect everyones opinions and feelings, but I just hope everyone can sit back and look and see how it’s going to be really hard for Obama to win a general election with the way everything is setup (electoral college). Lot of people are not recognizing that McCain is very popular and not the typical republican. It has already been said that Obama has a slim chance a general election of pulling off FL, PA, OH, and possibly MI. No president since 1960 has won the general election without winning 2 out the 3 between FL, PA, and OH. I hope everybody is looking at this with their eyes wide open and not partially shut.

Barack Obama released his tax returns almost 3 weeks ago so why is spokesman Jay Carson claiming she the only person releasing personal information? When Barack asked her to release hers she came right back at him and said you first, that very same day his tax returns were available on his website him and his wife made about 900,000 last year with almost 500,000 coming from his books so what are they talking about? I’m gone need him to do his research before he speaks. lol

So much for Hillary sitting at cafe’s telling people she understand what they going through when she made millions last year. She better be glad for those Bush tax cuts for the rich or she would have paid more in taxes.

If Condi did run for VP I still wouldn’t vote for her or McCain

it’s my vote and i’m voting w/my mind and conscious who tells me to go for the most intelligent candidate and the one w/the most integrity which would be Obama. i’m not voting based on stats from the 60s. obama has faith in this country and i have faith in him. it’s a new day and that’s what people don’t realize. you can’t move forward w/out hope. enslaved people who didn’t have hope in making it through the underground railroad stayed behind while the ones w/hope found freedom. if you belive the hype and think obama can’t win then you don’t have the hope like those enslaved africans that stayed behind. it’s 2008, take a leap of faith-hope on the train with us.

I would need to hear Condi’s View on Major issues before I render an opinion, I dont know much about her or her Platform actually…And why is Hillary’s tax info important?? Who cares…..I agree let us not allow Mccain to gain a significant lead due to the Media Circus following the democratic Nominees…

Whereas Condi should be someone to be proud of, she’s been a proud assistant in the facististic takeover of this country for the last 7+years. There’s been a significant transfer of wealth from the middle-class, to the top 1% of the population.
She parroted the propanda for the takeover and occupation of Iraq. The only interest that are people served are those of the multinational cooperations. They are stealing money left and right. They sell tainted water, food and weapons to the American military, and even this info is known, they still get contracts renew. She’s proud of her service.
I was sadly reminded this weekend, during the rememberances of the assination of Dr. King, one the 4 black little girls who was killed in the bombing of the church in Birmingham, was a elementary school playmate of Condi’s. Yet, she thinks she helping Bush spread democracy around the world. They are doing everything but that.

kay kay you are on it!

I’m honestly tired of the whole election and I’ll be glad when it’s over. As much as I would love to see Obama become President, they would either kill him or try to find a way to impeach him. Why? Because he’s black. He’s not even 100% black but that doesn’t matter because even if you are 10%, you will still be hated. Why is that you ask? Because everyone hates black people. Whites, Hispanics, Asians, you name it and they hate us. It’s gotten to the point were the Hispancis are killing us just for being black and it’s just so sad. And you know what else is sad? There’s no where to go because they hate us over in Africa too.

I am not a Condi fan so whatever.

WOW…It’s about time we got information on Hillary releasing her tax information posted on this site (this information has been available since Friday)! It’s funny how we can discuss the irrelevance of Beyonce and Jay-Z getting married though (who really cares)!?…..

Not only did Hillary release these tax returns that Obama has been consistently on her back about…..but she has also made history in doing so! Bill and Hillary have a combined total of over 30 years of personal tax information released to the public (Obama has a mere 6yrs. worth)! This just shows they earned their money fair and square (book deals and speaking engagements), but it also shows they paid taxes out the ass, and they donated over 10 million dollars to charities. With this being said, their is absolutely no doubt im my mind who should be President of the United States….Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton all the way!!!!!!

Didn’t Hillary state while campaigning that “speeches don’t put food on the table”?(talking sideways about Obama of course). Well they seem to have put quite a bit of food on YOUR table Hillary. Wow! And I don’t trust those returns.. It took too long to release them. They’ve probably been tweaked or doctored up. Well I have to admit, her campaign has been quite interesting.. I mean ‘misspeaking’ about ’supporting NAFTA’ … then ‘misspeaking’ about ‘her trip to Bosnia’.. then ‘misspeaking’ about ‘the woman who was pregnant and the hospital turning her away’ and now Mark Penn. smh. Do you Hillary.

Typical Republican move…run a token AA candidate against the Democrats in hopes of splitting the vote…they tried that in the IL elections (Alan Keyes versus Obama in ‘04) and it backfired, hopefully it will backfire here too!

Unfortunate, but if McCain picks Condi, that would be the smartest decision he’s ever made! Race is playing a huge part in this year’s election and he may have found his “great luck charm.” Sad, but true, this fight between Hillary/Obama might just cost the democrats this election. Trust me, the Republicans are strategizing right now to take over - of course by adding some speculation about Condi. We’ll all be foreclosing on our homes and taking the bus to work if that happens. I know it may be against what some would like to see, but Obama and Hillary should decided something quickly. If he agrees that she would be his VP, she ought to accept it and be ready to kick some ass. I think that idea would upset some, but they could become accepting (in time) knowing and understanding what the democrats have to face come general election time.

if McCain chooses condi for his vice presidential nominee that would be a very smart move of his and eventually take democrats off guard technically, condi is the only menber of the bush administration with favorable ratings amongst republicans, she`s loved by conservative women and having conservative women will definately help
condi being vice president might also make her a good president because mc cain being 71 i`m not sure he will run again after his first 4 yrs
i respect obama supporters and there is no doubt that this site is pro-obama and anti-hillary clinton, i`m not supporter of both but i just wonder why blacks take obama for the messiah, i dont know why a man with a white parent is called black? smh and like hillary clinton said “speeches dont put food on the table“
everything is possible , i know that ! but if obama gets the nomination i seejohn mc cain in the white house , why? mc cain is not your average republican, he`s very popular and respected among independants like myself because of his middle-of-the-roaad views, he has support from republicans because at the end of the day they stick togerther unlike democrats,hispanics too support because he supports immigration reform that will give a chance to illegal immigrants to stay here legally,
if obama gets the nomination hillary`s supporters will stay home in november, if hillary gets the nomination i can see obama supporters staying home too. democrats have a long way to go

AW HELL NAW!!!

Anyone on Bush’s team (Condoskeeza) is someone that I won’t support. Anyone who thinks she and McCain would be a good idea must be on somthing for real!!

Fall back Rice

@ # 17 HILLTOP 2

I cosign 100% I know Bill Clinton is popular but I never thought he was that loved he made a kill off those speeches.

Obama is black IMO b/c black is the dominent gene and how he and his society views himself. I don’t see him as a messiah but as the first presidential candidate that I’ve had the opportunity to vote for that I respect, trust, and can look up too not only b/c he’s so intelligent and has such a great record but b/c he has integrity which is something a lot of people, let alone a lot of politicians don’t have. Also, this country is in a horrible state and i think he’s most qualified to get us back in shape. I went to an HBCU, have 2 black parents, 2 black sisters and a roster of black friends so why not a black president, ESP. one like Barack Obama? Why do some black people think that this of all times is the time not to do the “black” thing? As strong as my lack of respect is for Hillary Clinton & the total lack of faith I have in her judgement and skills, IF she is the dem candidate in November I will vote for her b/c I’m a democrat. With this country and our future in mind, I’m not going to not use the vote that thousands struggled for me to have just b/c I’m pissy. If I could vote for that looser Kerry, I can vote for that looser Hillary, I don’t think I’ll have to though.

So Condi might run for VP. I’d say go for it. But anyone who believes that black people only vote for black candidates… well I hope we get to further test this theory. You will be surprised and sadly disappointed in the results. LOL. And someone stated earlier that Obama supporters view him as the messiah? WTH? I’m a supporter but nope he’s just a man. He breathes, eats, shits and gone die just like the rest of us.

# 17 Amen! I have been telling my family that it took her way too long to release those returns! She was adamant about not releasing them, and now all of a sudden she not only releases the last couple of years but the last several years?! Something in the milk isn’t clean.

1.I agree with KAY KAY

2. Hillary made too much money to be in touch with the common man. Not that Obama is totally connected, but 37 Million VRS 900 Thousand is a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference in income.

3. NO WAY NO HOW do I support Rice. Being black is not enough to earn my vote or respect.

ANYONE WHO VOTES FOR SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE A CERTAIN RACE IS AN IGNORANT….IF YOU PEOPLE EVER WONDER HOW OBAMA GOT INTO THE POSITION TO BECOME PRESIDENT YOU NEED TO RESEARCH ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI …YOUTUBE HIM WITH OBAMA’S NAME AND IF YOU THINK I’M CRAZY PLEASE LOOK AT THIS PICTURE IN REFERENCE TO HIM BEING INTRUMENTAL IN TRAINING THE “TERRORISTS” WE ARE FIGHTING…http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Brzezinski-BinLaden.jpg….I’M URGING CL AND J DAKAR TO DO RESEARCH AND BE MORE RESPONSIBLE WITH THEIR REPORTING AS OPPOSED TO MIMICKING THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLETS WHO DISTORT THE TRUTH…ANYONE CAN COPY AND PASTE OFF OF CNN…THE INTERNET IS THE LAST UNEDITED FORM OF PRESS…TAKE ADVANTAGE….PLEASE DON’T BE FOOLED LIKE LAST TIME BY THINKING YOU HAVE A CHOICE BECAUSE…ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF SOMEONE’S RACE…THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT….BEFORE WE LOOK AT THE CANDIDATES (CAUSE THEY ALL LIE) WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED…UNTIL MORE PEOPLE HAVE THE BALLS AND INTELLIGENCE TO ASK THEM WE’LL BE SUBJECT TO CANDIDATES WHO SAY WHATEVER IT TAKES…..RESEARCH AND OPEN YOUR EYES AND MIND BEFORE ITS TO LATE PEOPLE…..

@11

I was so expecting that. First off, he is not the most intelligent of the candidates left, he is in the middle of McCain and Clinton. If you read what I wrote, you would have seen I said since 1960 so that is up till this election. Go read or look at an electoral map and you will see what I am talking about. I am just being real and telling it like it is, but it amazes me how slaves and all that stuff get brought up when black people go against Obama. The man isn’t even all black!! To further prove my point, he won my state (Alabama) handily on super Tuesday back in February, but polls show both him and Hillary losing big in a general. My point is just cause he won states in the primary does not mean he will win them in the general, and the same goes for Hillary cause she is not winning Texas in the general if she gets the nod. He won MS, Al, GA, LA, SC, VA, and maybe will win NC. But come the general he not winning them, none of these southern states which made him rack up on delegates and popular vote because of the large black populations in the south. I am not trying to be rude or dissing you or anything cause I respect everyones opinion, but I just try to be real. Like a couple others have said, if McCain choses Rice for his VP, it’s going to be real hard for Dems then, especially Obama.

@23

You might not think he is, but I have friends that support that man like he is a god or the 2nd coming, which is one of the many reasons I was turned off by him. It’s almost like a cult with Obama.

i see we have a crazy person in our midst…

fine. you’re “real” and devoid of hope and i’m not. we used to be in chattle slavery in this country. not anymore. we used to not be able to vote. now we can. we used to not be able to marry other races. now we can. we used to have to sit in the back of the bus. now we can sit where we want. if all that change is possible, why not this? this is possible. if history not to mention the very real present doesn’t lead you to feel the same-that’s cool-doesn’t deter me a bit

isn’t all black? i don’t even him the energy to go there w/you. the next thing i know you’ll be using the term “good hair”=nails on a chalk board, lol…if he isn’t all black then your argument is mute. erase all you wrote about black states carrying him then. pick a side. your confusion is telling.

@26

Thank you, but your message will fall on deaf ears sir/ma’am. You can’t stop the lemmings.

I didn’t know people campaigned for the VP spot, I thought the President picked his or in this case his or possibly her own VP.

It’s obvious that Obama is a media creation and that he is a tool to deceive the black population. When I saw the New York Post; the most racist mainstream newspaper in America, support Obama, that was the icing on the cake. For goodness sakes, the KKK are sending him money. It’s like all these people are in on a big joke except for black people.

Condi with McCain makes sense… that also keeps us in the BUSHes! Not a good look for US!

JUDAH if you think Americans as a whole are joking about their futures your priorities are not were they need to be.

condiskeeza can FALL BACK!! She’s not going to be VP and McCain is not going to get elected. I’m not going to even put that into the universe.

OBAMA 08. Forreal forreal.

Lets see. Anyone ridiculous enough to support George Bush’s baffoonery, whether black or white should never attempt to run our country. Condi Rice is a sick joke, joke on black folks everywhere. She never spoke publicly about racism until Obama made his famous speech on racism. THink of all the times, she could have spoken out against racism, she choose not to. SHe allowed Obama to test the waters first and she saw that the reception was good then, and only then did she speak out. People, do not be fooled by this woman;s race. Intelligent, she is, but she has no substance. By god, Hillary Clinton has done more for black causes than this woman. What does she stand for? She would allow herself to be used by the Replublicans again just to prevent Obama from becoming president. THEY WOULD USE HER TO SPLIT THE BLACK VOTE!!!!!!!Condi Rice stands for nothing, she is the type of black folk that would never speak out against injustices for fear of loosing her pay check. PLEASE CONCRETE: No Condi, I am sick just seeing her face.

Dont buy into the hatred motto. It will certainly hold you back from your full potential. Walking around believing that you are hated because of the color of your skin, Hatred is not natural to human kind. Humans are not born to hate, hatred is taught.

@26, Please with the bullshit about Obama, You are not one of the intelligent of our species, your comment doesnt count. Subscribe to NEWSWEEK, my most trusted liberal source. Everything you need to know about Obama.
@27, Obama is not the most intelligent? What Ivy League school, did you graduate? He was training terrorist while at Harvard? He was training terrorist while launching a voter registration drive in Chicago? ,He was training terrorist while presiding as president of Harvard’s Law Review? Black people it is okay to be excited about this man. It is okay that black folks look to him as an inspiration, hope of the future to come. Our future is bright black folks, if they hate us then it is only because they know what we are capable of.
@26 what fucking terrorist are we fighting? We never went into Iraq to fight terrorist. Osama bin laden was never in Iraq. Obama was the candidate who has spoken against the war in Iraq, Obama is the candidate who said the war on terrorist should have taken place in Afghanistan not Iraq. He was the candidate who has propose war to retrieve Osama bin laden from Afghanistan. Who is the we shit? you, George Bush and Condi? If you were not so sad, you would be laughable.

Well of course we know Hilary was having the returns corrected before submitting them.Thats the reason she hasnt released last years yet.One interesting tidbit I noticed about her returns was they gave 10 mil to charities but when you look closer the bulk of those donations were made to a family run organization called the “Clinton Family Foundation” . roflmao Now here is the catch the organization has so far given away half of the donation and that was only after she entered the presidential race.

I hope republicans don’t think they’re gonna pull any black votes by adding condeleeza to their ticket.

ERBODY knows that COLIN POWELL WUZ the only one with COMMON SENSE in the bush’s administration.

What’s the big deal about clinton’s tax return’s, that same info released has been in the public records for 15-20 years. It’s good that they’re not greedy rich people only concerned with the rich., she aims to try to make it better for the poor and middle class.

@ 41 i can’t believe i’m even answereing u considering you couldn’t comprehend my comment in the first place but her it goes…. terrorists was in quotes because there is no such thing…now the fact that you a) base all your politcal view off of newsweek and B) would try to call me stupid and at the same time put together an incomplete sentence should be validation enough but in case Newsweek doesn’t fill you in we are in a “War against Terrorism”…..i mean something has to scare you enough to give up ur civil liberties right….btw do you know who owns the publications you read….i didn’t think so…..now back to my point…the man i was talking about (ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI)is one of Obama’s biggest supporters and could probably give him a lot of pointers on the war on terror considering he helped trained the supposed terrorists we are at war with….at no point did i say or would ever say Obama trained terrorists….i’m not even here to shit on Obama cause at the end of the day i’m trying to get people to research and come to their own conclusions about whats going on with the U.S….People need to ask the right questions because rights are being taken away with out your approval or knowledge and regardless of what your stance is that is a fact and against everything this country stands for

@ 41 and the “we” shit pertains to the people who know….not you…..you prolly didn’t even know Obama and Dick Cheaney are cousins….or that George Bush and John Kerry are cousins…you really think its between Republicans and Democrats….they got you good homie

@44. You are so right. I could never understand you and what it is you are trying to communicate. We communicate on a totally different level. You were attempted to be cynical. Now, I get it. I’ll reread your post. (wait a second)

Guess what, you are ignorant and psychotic. The mother ship awaits u!!!!

He’s right. Obama mania is taking over right now with Obama winning big in the Primaries. Just like Hillary except she has won most of the big states…

HOWEVER, do u really think Obama can pull those same states in the GENERAL ELECTION!? HELLS NAW. They’re gonna massacre the guy. He’s popular but its not enough. Republicans are smart and Obama will not pull the southern states. It’d be a miracle. Hillary the same. Only Hillary could take the big states.

You guys clearly dont see the wicked schemes goin on. Obama could beat McCain, but its heavily unbalanced. Now if you were to add CLinton-Obama TOGETHER….hey we gotta shot!

And right now all i care about is winning. I dont care who takes the top spot b/c they both stand for the same issues. I just want a WINNER Dammit! And together they can def do that.

And BULLSHIT to everyone sayin the Clintons tampered with their tax return reports. U cant do that. No one here has that much power to tamper with those papers. Trust me. The Republicans would have a field day with that if it were true. They’d be the first to put Hillary on blast!

Whatever to Condi. she’s been dormant about racial issues till now when it suits her best.

Did Anyone else here that they were trying to get Actress Thandie Newton to play Condolzeeza Rice in the upcoming biopic about George W. Bush?

Kind of a slap/compliment to Condi herself. They look absolutely nothin alike….

look Obama need to win this fuckin shit already, errybody else are lames.
Onemil02 ur a lame too with ur dumb ass reasons for not supporting Obama.

These primaries have gone on waaaay too long, they’re trying to distract us from something. I see people write about, Democrat this Republican that, the last time I checked we had a republican president and democratic control over the House and Senate. The president cannot do anything without the Senate’s consent. Democrats and Republicans are two cheeks part of the same ass. Instead of looking at the party, why not focus solely on the candidates stance on the issues. That’s just another tactic to distract the “individual” (I use that term loosely) to focus on a particular side and not the candidate. What people fail to realize is the candidates are already handpicked and the media spoons feed you who to vote for. So, until people wake up, the president will continue to be selected and not elected.

J Dakar I appreciate your contribution to the political postings on the site but if you’re just going to regurgitate the talking points in the main stream media you do a disservice to the readers. Mark Penn has officially left the Clinton campaign in title only as her lead strategist. He’s still polling and setting her agenda = he’s still running things! It’s just a distraction from delving into her tax returns and discussing her latest embellishments about how she met MLK at 14 or how she ‘threw her backpack’ down when she heard of his assassination. She was supporting Goldwater for President who opposed King so who does she think is going to buy that crap! Remember in January how she said the C.R. Act would not have been passed without LBJ that it took more than a dream. Mind you MLK was strategizing, organizing and pulling arms to get it pushed through and got Congress and the Senate to support it so that the President could sign it into law. Oh wait - she was there with Mitt Romney’s dad marching for Civil Rights! I also really hate the way MLK has been co-opted into some hippy flower child full of dreams. He was feared, reviled and hated perhaps second only to Malcom X for challenging the status quo. He called out the US gov’t for its war-mongering ways. Hillary referred to Dr. Wright’s sermon as hate speech. Well he basically said the same things MLK was saying until he was shot [minus the AIDS references but that's only because it's been 40 years]. People allow the media to inform their way of thinking. Google the newspapers and magazines from back then: the Washington Post, Newsweek and Time. MLK was called un-American, a Communist and how he’d set back the movement because he moved from speaking about ‘the Negros’ to economic disparity and opposed Vietnam. We’ve got some serious revisionist history going on here. It’s deja vu all over again. Perhaps Obama truly thinks some people are stuck in the past and things are better, but it’s only gotten better for a few and by a certain percentage. In many ways things are worse now. Jim Crow isn’t about not being able to drink from a particular water fountain; now it’s about reverse-discrimination. Then it was about white male privilege; now it still is but quite a few people who were marginalized have now been allowed to sit at that table and actively contribute in selling out their own. [White] women were added to the Affirmative Action laws and have most benefitted yet the argument against it always focuses on Black people ‘getting over’ and being provided an advantage they didn’t earn. I don’t respect Dr. Rice’s choices politically at all, but I liked how she framed her discussion in referencing Blacks as a founding population. That’s exactly who were are and we should tout it. She has spoken about race relations before but not in this depth and due to the current political climate this message is resonating with many people.

Agree with #51, however the whole criticizing Hillary as a fraud in her respect for MLK is unfair. Hillary has looked up to black leaders since she was young. She is not a racist of any kind nor does she look down upon blacks. She’s simply being a politician and they’re all full of it, if you ask me. The Mark Penn thing does sound interesting though. I’ll have to check up on that personally. Thought he fully resigned….

Just because she supposedly supported Goldwater doesn’t necessarily mean she was against King. You don’t always have to agree full on with your candidate of choice. But that whole “threw my backpack against the wall” speech? Irascible. Sure she was probably disappointed that day about MLKs assassination, but could she at least tell the tale in a more reasonable manner other than one which forces us to suspect it implausible?

Dr. Wright’s sermon was out of place for this time period. It would have worked better in MLK’s period. Although Wright had major MAJOR points in speech and I agree with his statements, I still think they could have been said more tastefully. They were also taken way out of context to the point where white Americans can now use it against Obama.

Dakar what are those personal business dealings v. her political views. Any word on that?

Forget the last post…

What Did Bill Clinton Do To Get $15M From Ron Burkle?

@ # 47 NOMOSOUL

If you look back in history New York and California have always voted democrat just because Hillary one those states don’t mean Obama can’t win them. Those “Big” states she won will and have always went democrat so what dose that say about her?

@40

LOL! I don’t need Prozac, and I don’t buy into the hatred motto. I for one love my black people no matter what. It’s just that I’m a realist and I go by what I see and hear. All of the racist comments and blatant racist activity is just so sad. It’s just all a bunch of foolishness.

@40

I know you heard about the black nascar driver getting booed in Spain. I know you heard about the girl who was tortured by those white people, and I know you heard about the black student killed in LA for no reason. Blatant Racism! You see how they’ll go all out for missing white people and missing black people barely make the news. And please tell me you heard about the senator who got away with rape and murder. If he was black, you know that would have killed him quickly.

@ # 10 HAVENOTTHOUGHTOFAUSERNAME

they said she was the first one to release the past 30 years of her tax returns.

I wasn’t talking about tax returns, but uh ok lol

Who released 30 years of tax returns you can’t be talking about Hillary Clinton because to my knowledge she has only released the 2000-2006 and that took forever. I have not got down to the nitty gritty of things but I am a radio/television broadcast major and the first thing we learned in one of my classes was when someone leaks or makes available information they don’t want to catch flack for, they drop it off at 4 or 5 pm going into the weekend hoping that it won’t catch much attention because know one really pays attention to the news on the the weekends and the major pundits have already gone home for the day.

Hillary is not all she cracks up to be.

Sorry for the typo’s I’m late to class.

51. Perhaps you should do some more research on Barry Goldwater. Hillary was a registered Republican, a Goldwater girl and actively supporting his campaign. I don’t know about you but if I have a choice of candidates to donate my time and money to I usually pick someone whose policies I agree with. Otherwise I’d be stumping for McCain right now - since according to you it doesn’t quite matter. I know that you are a HRC supporter so you don’t really want to hear my critique regardless. I should add that compared to other right wingnuts Goldwater would probably be thought of as a moderate though he was dubbed Mr. Conservative. Hillary switched to the Democratic party after Nixon won the nomination and of course she had met Bill by that time and the rest is history. Also I should mention Hillary has been trying to claim disinterest in NAFTA yet Mark Penn AND Howard Wolfson have current active relationships with companies that are negotiating a trade deal with Columbia. So back to that whole candidate supporting issue I’d ask why support a candidate that talks about making fair trade agreements for workers in the US who is involved in negotiating expanding NAFTA to Columbia which would take more jobs away or prevent them from being available? One of the reasons President Hugo Chavez is considered unfavorable to the US is because he vehemently opposed a NAFTA expansion to Venezuela. And remember President Sadam Hussein was a ‘friend’ to the US for years while he was murdering and terrorizing people but he did the bidding of the gov’t. It was once he was no longer useful and [in]famously tried to assassinate George Bush Sr. that he became an enemy.

I have personally read MLK’s speeches and can go through them line by line for comparison so trust me Dr. Wright has simply carried on the tradition as opposed to veering greatly away from it or saying something ‘original’ if you will. Only because the core problems that existed 40 years ago still exist today though some aspects are much better, others are much worse. The content of both men’s discussions about the state of Black people, the US gov’t violation of human rights and it’s aggression against other countries/it’s own population and other items ARE CURRENT. Drugs being imported into this country, drug sentencing, the prison industrial complex, use of the media to limit the flow of information, the consolidation of media, allowing media companies to illegally spy on its citizens AND then trying to pass laws that let them off the hook from prosecution [FISA], lying about reasons to go to war, etc., this list could take me a year. Too many people have been complacent and were willing to ‘make a quick buck’ over securing real structural change. Also so many people have been killed [Malcolm, Martin, JFK, the Panthers]. At one time even the ‘average’ white young person got riled up enough against the gov’t to take action or ams [SLA, etc]. People were tired of status quo and perhaps violence wasn’t the best means to get the gov’t to change but people went for broke. I’m just glad we have the internet and blogs and a place where people can come together from around the world to exchange information and have discussions even if we don’t agree. Censorship and limited access are a means of control and we should definitely be on the lookout for it, watch the candidates and find out who’s behind the curtain and what their other relationships involve as it pertains to our lives and the world at large.
