Hillary is more electable - YOU NEED A REVOLUTION TO ELECT OBAMA
Diebold, the BFEE, and the rest of the military industrial complex that IKE warned us about will allow HRC to become President. FOX news will allow HRC to become President. The corporations and the DLC want HRC to become President.
Frankly, I think that the BFEE would prefer HRC to McCain. The BFEE (Bush Family Evil Empire) like to bat McCain around cat and mouse style.

So Hillary is more electable. We will need a revolution to get Barack Obama in the White House.

You say you want a ReVoLuTiOn?

7. Unrelated: Odd DU Tech glitch????
When I click on your link, I get the correct thread responses but with this as the unrelated OP from Jun-26-04:

It is a distinct possibility, but....
My guess is that Kerry will choose Gephardt, if only because the two have known and trusted each other for a very long time. I think the comfort factor will play out in the end.
My mind is like a steel trap: rusty, dangerous, and banned in 37 states.


When I click on 'View All' it changes to the correct OP which now matches the responsis. WEIRD!!!
Wondering now if I have a bug or if there is an odd DU glitch.

12. AHA!!! The sky IS falling!!!!
Edited on Mon Apr-21-08 06:05 AM by chknltl
I feel better now, thanks. I alerted the mods and requested that the alert gets passed along to the DU Tech dept.-(didn't know what else to do but as you can see by my name, I simply HAD to do something!) This is the second VERY weird glitch that I have encountered in the DU during the past 24 hours.

on edit: here is the very thread from which the glitch 'OP' eminates, it is not even an OP but a response: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x557382#top

23. Just a slight problem when the URL was copied, I think
demwing typed in a URL which pointed to

(DU board +) duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5574886&mesg_id=557488

Note the last number, the mesg_id, is the topic_id but missing the final '6'. I think they meant to type in

(DU board +) duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5574886&mesg_id=5574886

When the topic_id and mesg_id match, you get the original post in a thread. But that truncated '557488' found the old post from way back - and then displayed it as if it's part of the recent thread that has the '6' on the end. Just add the '6' to the end of the dodgy URL, and you'll get what demwing waned to link to.

24. Thanks for clearing that one up.
It was fun runnin' around saying that the sky is falling though. It was my second DU oddity in two days, the earlier one is that a post response of mine was not listed under 'My DU-Recent Posts' and yet in it's place was the words '1 Reply'. My invisible post DID have that reply but I could not tell what the reply was to until I clicked onto that reply and then clicked 'top' which placed me back into the original thread where I could see my post being replied to!

Thank you again for checking into the glitch matter, it is good to know that both the DU and my computer are doing just fine.

5. To me it doesn't matter.. I think they are very similar.. and Obama's
ideas on Healthcare and Education are much too skewed to Repug's ideas of health care (which means little to non or extremely expensive) and school vouchers to privatized schools (which means church or corporations teaching our children).

If a revolution was taking place, McCain, Clinton, and Obama wouldn't be where they are as of now. It would be Ron Paul and Kucinich battling out the differences between democrats and republicans.

6. How true is that?
What they want, in fact, is the *illusion* of a revolution.

Maybe they will get it? T'would pacify the upcoming generation.... and buy the establishment another thirty years of mediocrity.

9. many are not in the position to last that long... It is going to take some
extreme measures in creating jobs, sustainable environment, re-vamping education, and really creating Universal Healthcare. On the other hand, the makings of 1984 are right at our doorstep if people blindly follow the leader.

8. this argument is pointless
there are several former candidates who would have been more "electable" against McCain. The Democratic Party in its inimitable wisdom threw them all overboard. Now it has two with 'baggage,' mostly not of their own making. Determining which 'baggage' hurts chances more is a spurious way to select a president. It is too late for this discussion. Furthermore, every time it is raised it makes the baggage that much worse.

I say Move On!

16. God, I hope you don't end up eating those words. I know it seems like a dog
could beat them right now, but they are masters of dirty tricks and they only have to make it close enough to steal.

15. It takes more than a candidate to make a revolution.
And, frankly, neither of these candidates is revolutionary. Although, I think people are projecting their desire for change(revolution) onto Obama which may push him further left. At least, that's my hope.

Revolution, indeed. What nonsense.

19. Hog. Wash.
If you want the Repigs to be giddy with joy as they come out of the woodwork to vote against two Clintons, you have her as the nominee.

The greatest gift for the RNC is o have the Clintons to run against. Not only would the Democratic Party be destroyed and negative coat tails skewer our chances, but they would have a blast with all the NEW scandals that the Clintons have, just waiting on the vine to be picked for the harvest.

22. Diebold, the BFEE, and the rest of the military industrial complex
are the revolution that happened years ago.

Voting Barack Obama in the White House will be an election.

Sorry, but Hillary came in 2nd.
