I have a similar history as Red Queen, and like her I'll be voting for the Green candidate for the first time. My vote belongs to the candidate and party that respects me and my mainstream liberal values. Plus if McKinney is the nominee (and it looks like she will be) I'll be glad to finally be able to lend her some support. The Democratic party messed her over even before they messed over Hillary. A progressive feminist candidate. I've seen the Obamacans already gearing up to trash her- calling her "nuts" etc... They can't label her racist like they lied about Bill and Hillary, because McKinney is African American.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-10835885535378626892008-06-03T17:25:00.000-07:002008-06-03T17:25:00.000-07:00A superb post.The yaller dog story fits this hour ...A superb post.<BR/><BR/>The yaller dog story fits this hour in our history perfectly.<BR/><BR/>If Obama is the nominee the top of my ballot will be blank.<BR/><BR/>There will not be so much as a yellow dog to vote for.<BR/><BR/>I cannot bear the thought that an unfit President would bear the Democratic party label.cal1942https://www.blogger.com/profile/00911824399959688680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-7822937179736102692008-06-03T06:11:00.000-07:002008-06-03T06:11:00.000-07:00A.

This YDD could vote for McCain if he would support reasonable campaign spending limits (including constitutional amendments if that's what it takes) and deconsolidation of the media. Hillary supporters who are considering voting for McCain should try to exact something in return, and radical campaign finance reform would do it for me. A side benefit would be the impoverishment of political consultants.munibondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601114513780920704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-44154982163712238842008-06-03T00:28:00.000-07:002008-06-03T00:28:00.000-07:00For weeks now I have been reading Anglachel's writ...For weeks now I have been reading Anglachel's writing with interesst. Her argumentation makes sense, it would have convinced me even had I not been an ardent Rodham supporter. <BR/><BR/>That said: Please whatever you do, do not support McCain. That man lies through his teeth and will sink America into oblivion, draging the rest of the sane democratic world with him. We as a world community cannot, I am convinced, but end up in sectarian, fanatic violence if there are another 4 years of Republican presidant.<BR/><BR/>I have read the arguments that Obama is essentially a Republican, I know that the democratic Congress is shitting itself because people expect them to take a stand against the reps. But the best that we can expect with a republican President is a stalemate between Congress and President. Likely it will be far worse.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, just two cents from a foreigner in Europe, asking you to consider foreign policy and foreign economy.<BR/><BR/>www.hdreioplus.de/wordpressjokerinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620164657534699424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4119943.post-15984799243781243242008-06-02T23:15:00.000-07:002008-06-02T23:15:00.000-07:00If that means voting for McCain, so be it.

No, I will use my vote to the maximum effect. That means it will take two votes to counter my vote for McCain. Hillary....or McCain.And I have no qualms about this tactic. I will vote Dem down the line....unless my congressperson endorsed Obama contrary to the will of their electorate. Then I will not vote for them.
