A Vote For Obama is A Vote For The Media |
|
If you want your vote to count now, only a Clinton vote would. Otherwise, you're in the flow of the momentum. Earlier maybe it was otherwise, but I REJECT the media's decision in this case, and not because I won't vote Obama in the general. I certainly will if he is nominated, however, I think that if you're an Ohioan like me, and you want to see this discourse continued, you should stick to your guns. I am and already have supported Hillary in this race, and it's unfortunate that she was put in this position in the first place. I wish she had have voted "present" on the war is all.

2. A Vote for Clinton is A Vote For The Establishment |
|
If you're foolish enough to believe she will change the status quo in DC, then go right ahead and vote for her. I want change and I'm willing to vote for the guy with the momentum.

6. The media isn't deciding who my vote goes to, which I get to cast on Tuesday |
|
I've researched the candidates and Barack has earned my vote, and Hillary's negative campaign against Barack has clarified my decision.

7. No clue what your point is here. |

Including this statement... "it's unfortunate that she was put in this position in the first place."
Put in what position?

9. The MEDIA wants this race to go to a brokered convention.... 6 months of high drama and ratings.... |
|
...
THINK!
The MEDIA wants $$$$$... $$$$$ come from ratings..... a tight race leads to HIGH ratings.
The MEDIA wants VERY BADLY for Clinton to win Ohio and Texas and keep this thing going for several more weeks.

Obama went against the recent FCC ruling to let a media owner have both a newspaper and a television station in the same market.
Hillary's husband passed the telecommunications act of 1996.
We know where that has gotten us.
Now may not be the time to tell GE, Viacom, Disney, and News Corp., that you'll do to them what Carter did to AT&T, but it might be in his cards.
There's a HELL of a lot better chance of it being in his cards than it would EVER fucking be with fucking Hillary Clinton.
I fucking HATE Bill Clinton's decision to pass the FUCKING 1996 Telecommunications Act!!!!!
It was one of the worst things he did.
It's one of the main reasons I don't want Hillary to get in.
A vote for Obama is a vote for the media.
Well, keep telling yourself that mister. I hope the media believes it. That's good for the Democrats until after November.
After Jan. 20th next year we'll fucking see how long we have to wait before we see media reform.
Why don't you ask Amy Goodman or Bill Moyers who the fuck they think is better to have in the White House when it comes to media reform?????
Ask them!!!
I don't believe they would say Hillary Clinton.
Go Obama!

14. oh come on!! she was the establishment candidate. she had the whole system behind her. |
|
I honestly don't think that it started off as Obama beating as much as her screwing it up herself. And now she's playing catch up and Obama is cruising.

15. Just throwing this out there.... |
|
Exelon Energy is a top 10 donor to the Obama's campaign, contributing nearly a quarter of a million in bundled donations to the Obama campaign.
They are also a big advertiser/sponsor on MSNBC... If you watch the channel throughout the day, you will see their advertizements all over the place.
Wonder why Russert is taking it soft on Obama?
Don't bite the hand that feeds you...

16. When you have the Kennedy & Kerry machine |
|
behind you, you are NOT the anti establishment candidate. When you have the corporate media as your cheerleaders, it means the powers that be have chosen you as their candidate.

21. I actually agree with you. I think Hillary was the chosen one---in the beginning. |

Edited on Wed Feb-27-08 12:49 AM by AgadorSparticus
Obama did not have the Kennedys and the media behind him in the beginning. Sometime after Nevada it went downhill for Hillary. And I don't know how much of it was of her own doing but I'm thinking that it accounts for some of it.
