Why does Hillary want t debate anyway…….she refused debates in her 2000 and 2006 campaigns. I mean why are Indiana voters more important than her own constituency???
Anyone else watching Big Brother tonight? The politics of that show is terrific! A great show to watch- the finale is this week!

Wondersmith are you per chance….high ??
Just wondering.
How about all the “Demopublicans” that are hungry for money right now? They are receiving money from Republicans to finance their campaigns under the table! No Democrats has the guts to speak out against them because they are afraid to lose their election.
Wouldn’t it be great if a group of Democrats got the guts to speak out against Democratic elected officials that are really Republicans? Should you be allowed to be considered a Democrat if you are on a host committee and supporting a Republican for Lt. Governor, even though it hurts the Democratic Party? What does a Democrat have to do to lose their designation as a Democrat? How much money from known Republicans can Democratic elected officials take and still be considered a Democrat? How many Republican bills can a Democratic elected official vote for that hurts unions, public schools, urban neighborhoods, their constituents, the welfare of children, senior citizens, the impoverished, the middle class, and everything in between and still be considered a Democrat by Democrats? Will Democrats ever stand up for anything, except to speak at funerals and the electric slide? Does anyone have the answer?
No, I wasn`t being amusing ,just try to find a cheap away to keep smoking and possible have the Goverment paid for it and take it off my taxes
Great ,information on #1 ..#2 , to be sociable I take your word .. Now #3 Just the facts ,Ma`M
Hoodlaw - Some of us are open minded enough to see beyond party boundaries once in a while. I’m a Republican - was an alternate delegate to the Republican National Convention in ‘96, and have been to state a few times as well. I actively support several Republicans right now. But I also have, do, and will in the future, support a Democrat or two on occasion. Sometimes, the Democrats have a candidate who is intelligent, well reasoned, and outstanding in some way or other - and I feel that person has earned my support. If we were all as partisan as you are, why even have votes on each individual race? Just give people a straight party ballot, and no other choices at all.
Hoodlaw has provided the best example of what is wrong with members of any party that believe party first, country last. If it’s not all “party” then it’s not good.
Bull crap!
Makes you glad people like Hoodlaw are so upset when someone actually thinks what is best for the constituents and not the party.
In RE#18 I believe you missed his point as a voter you have the right to support any candidate. But as an elected member of a specific party you do have or should have loyalty to the party that you claim. You don’t see the chairman of GM driving a Chrysler!
