in Young Voters Snubbed as Dem Convention Delegates on The Colorado Independent
excerpt from: "Let's pray and work for peace..." by Rita Walpole Ague, April, 2008, Colorado Springs, CO, All Rights Reserved   "The city of Colorado Springs is the home of one of the world's  largest military/industrial ("Masters of Space") and spook-laden complexes.  No big surprise, the city never offered an apology to the peace marchers [St. Patrick's Day Parade, 2007] or to Elizabeth [Elizabeth Fineran, the older, disabled who was tripped and dragged in the street until road burned and bloodied] before she died.  No did the city offer an apology to the peace demonstrators it tear-gassed immediately before the war in Iraq began.  Only one other country in the world, Greece, gassed its peaceful demonstrators who gathered in the protest of the U.S. entry into the now infamous war.

  Instead of mending its ways, Colorado Springs continues on its path of allowing no waves to be made, and no voice of dissent to be raised effectively.  De facto segregation exists in the poorly performing public schools.  Spousal and child abuse abounds.  State rankings of forty-seventh and forty-eighth in the nation as to provision for the developmentally disabled and the mentally ill are confirmed with gusto here in the shadow of magnificent Pikes Peak.  And 'slave labor', in the form of women brought here from the islands to work in the area's elegant hotels and motels, goes unnoticed and unmentioned in this anti-union, "America the Beautiful" city.

  Delegates and alternates, elected to go to a Democratic county assembly held in February, 2008, stood outside in the bitter cold, some of them for hours.  They were intimidated and turned away from the assembly in number.  Their complaints went nowhere.  And the state Democratic convention in May, 2008, scheduled to be held at the World Arena in Colorado Springs, looms like a larger repeat of the earlier anti-war protest right before the start of the war.  Police are ordered, armed, and ready, and no effective (within "shouting distance") protesting will be allowed on site.  The list of sins goes on and on in this overtly neo-con, 'Christian' heaven."

  So, elected delegates and alternates, and peace demonstrators, hope for the best but prepare for the worst when coming to the Democratic state state convention in Colorado Springs (a.k.a. "Naziville").

Pandering to white female voters? On what planet?


And a painful four years doesn't even begin to describe what will happen under four more years of Republican control. It will be the end of this country.

just to reiterate and then i'm going away:


this is what democrats do. we form a circle, grab our guns and fire while the real enemy laughs and skips away with the prize.



don't let it happen with this election. it is too important. it is too important for reasons of the supreme court, for the federal courts that bush has been decimating for eight long years.



if you believe that all of us lesser beings: blacks, native americans, hispanics, women, all of the rest, are actually equal to the power people, we cannot lose this election, no matter what.



it pays to remember that in all of this anguish over who's going to win the democratic nomination.



if you can do nothing else, think "the courts the courts THE COURTS," hold your nose, and vote for the democrat.

we should be as vicious as we can possibly be with the innuendos and the whispering campaigns. We still have to be smart about it, and it has to be outside Obama's campaign.




um . . . could you really get more vicious than it is already?



it is a sad day indeed when democrats turn on democrats a la karl rove. pathetic.

He needs to show he can fight. If he can't, he'll never win out against the republican occupation of washington.


It seems everyone here is forgetting that the real enemy, the one that is destroying our country and the world, is the republican party.



If he can't toughen up and take on Hillary Clinton, he is not going to win against that vicious, man eating machine of the Republicans which has, most frighteningly, complete control of the media.

I don't think Obama needs to stoop to snagging innuendo off of Craigs List to win this thing.


But he is going to have to stiffen up and fight. It will be interesting to see if he has it in him. I hope he does, but I'm not certain he's the fighter we're going to need to take on McCain.

the problem: nafta


I don't know if anyone noticed by Clinton had a lot of help with her bash Barack campaign from the MSM. . . .



You can't seriously make a case for Obama being bashed in the media more than Clinton. She has been vilified from the beginning, far beyond anything I've seen in my long life.

in Hillary BLACKENS UP Obama in Ad? on Jack and Jill Politics
By the way, where is your post about Obama saying no, he didn't talk to anyone in Canada about NAFTA, then Oops! guess we did?


Did I miss that somewhere?



I will vote for him if he is the nominee. But this is what has bothered me about him from the beginning: he comes in talking conciliation and working across the aisles and all of that mess, which naturally means sucking up to the big business interests of the republican party. That's what they're about, if he's working WITH them, he's working FOR their corporate puppetmasters. So he's telling the American people that he's going to revisit NAFTA and telling Canada that that promise is just political posturing?



Fuck that.
