The Clinton machine will grind the other Democratic contenders into dust...
Hillary will become President. The Iraq debacle will continue, with some cosmetic changes. Civil liberties in the U.S. will continue to be eroded. Corporatism will continue unabated, but some of the big players may change. Just my opinion.

1. Right then, I'll just pop off and shoot myself.
Are you suggesting everyone should just give up and bend over? Stop worrying and learn to love the bomb?

2. At This Point.........
Any one of the democratic candidates will be better than any of the republicans. I have Hillary at the very bottom of my personal wishlist (tied with Richardson-who I think is running for VP anyway). If I HAVE to, then I'll vote for her, I certainly won't NOT vote in protest, even though I don't like her pretty much at all.

13. I'm a pretty tolerant person,
but all this crap back/forth with Hillary is really burning my butt. Am I delusional, or have the more vocal of the HRC supporters really taken arrogance to a new height? :shrug:

Like most, I'll vote for her if she's the nominee, but I don't think she's the best one.

11. I certainly want BushInc to be protected continually no matter what, don't you?

See - only BAD Democrats who believe in Open Government accountable to the people are unwelcome at this table.

4. ...unless voters decide to stop behaving like lemmings
Stop allowing MSM, neocons and DLC to pre-determine the nominee.

9. all we are is dust in the wind
They won't really be dust. Edwards will write a book, and still be the richest man in history. Richardson :puke: will be veep. Biden will be Secretary of State. Obama and Dodd will still be in the Senate. Kucinich will still be in the House. Gravel will still be walking around his house in his underwear, yelling at things that aren't there. (Sorry Mike and fans, but I really hate the UnFairTax.)

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

10. Oh for fuck's sake. IT WAS ONE DEBATE
She's still the same cowardly, lying corporate sock-puppet she was the night before. Her actual responses in the debate (e.g. that heartless "joke" about NAFTA) are getting savaged in the left-wing press. Plantagate is still dogging her, the polls are tightening in the key races and (most importantly) she's competing against several OBVIOUSLY BETTER candidates.

I still have faith that the Democrats are going to wake up and kick her to the curb. And god help us if we don't

14. Even if ground into dust, Kucinich will be ...
nothing to sneeze at.
