At this stage HRC would rather have your check than your vote. I am receiving random calls in NYC asking for money — in ANY amount.

Deni G 1:43 am To keep the name in play and keep reminding people of HRC’s deficiencies. I am surprised, because only one person can win the nomination for POTUS. They are trying to get message out to super delegates whose trackers watch these sites to see what the action is.

It was and is demeaning to diminsh our dedication to a Presidential candidate’s success as PAID — w/out a shred of evidence and in such a broadbrush manner — because someone doesn’t like/agree with our posts. Diminishment of “the other” is begining to define POLITICAL and CULTURE on this site. That will not be a good thing as we move into the Summer/Fall Campaign season. That’s unfortunate, because this would have been a perfect way for the site to elevate itself in the American zeitgeist — independent of its Founders’ mighty influence — which it MUST in order to thrive and, as I have said before, not become a vanity play. Hopefully, others who care about WoW’s success and growth - will continue to openly challenge the trivial and unsubstantiated blanket statements that demean both the site community and those of us who take valuable TIME to contribute to the public discourse.

Patricia: That was a baseless and scurrilous statement. Point of fact, HRC has had to PAY (and rack up bills) for the very same and proffered “street money” around Philly and the Stateof Pa — when Barack Obama REFUSED to participate in THAT pay-for-votes scenario he also would like to CHANGE. Republicans are desperate. Their policies and fearmongering have run their course. Ranting…yes, I know ranting when I hear it courtesy of Fox/Limbaugh and that amazing Chris Matthew/James interview yesterday…is a Republican sideshow. President Bush and John McCain are now taking that sideshow ABROAD to speeches in front of foreign Parliaments. What infuriates Republicans is WE DON’T NEED TO BE PAID or force our candidate to rack up bills to make his case. Further, we are deeply committed, evidenced by thoughtful and thorough communications that have respect for the reader — and the Founders of this site. Republicans, Independents and Democrats — PATRIOTS ALL — care deeply about America and their children’s future. All Americans don’t need to be PAID to rescue our Nation from this downward spiral. We are at a turningpoint — and we ALL KNOW IT. The world is holding its breath because we are ALL connected/interconnected — and affecting/infecting the world with our PROBLEMS. I, for one, will do whatever I can because I have been blessed in this Nation. I would NOT accept payment to do my part. And, though I am a born/bred NYC resident — may no blade of grass in our rural States be touched by the thugs who attacked our Nation on 9/11 — and I be PAID to work as hard as I can to prevent such an event from occurring ever again…ever. We are also about to have a REAL DEBATE about what patriotism really is, this year. Patriotism is not solely defined by MONEY, WARS/MILITARY ACTIONS and the RELIGIOUS RIGHT. DIPLOMACY, MUTUAL RESPECT FOR CULTURES NOT OUR OWN and TAKING CARE OF YOUR OWN CITIZENS HEALTH AND ECONOMIC PROSPERITY is also PATRIOTISM.

MY ALIAS-JUST MAKES THINGS UP OUT OF AIR AS DOES ELENOR….I THINK THEY ARE ONE AND THE SAME….

Buh-bye you can bait me all you like. I am more mellow today than yesterday. It’s too hot to argue politics. Gonna go take a dip in the cement pond. Wishing I was drifting along in a canoe at one of those lazy lakes the other wowOwowers are always talking about.
