To all who still hold out "hope" for Hillary Clinton to be nominated as Prez or VP or are just so pissed off that you will do anything to harm Barack Obama and Joe Biden and in doing so, also hurt this country.... PLEASE stop!

Hillary Clinton wants all of us to back Barack Obama and Joe Biden. The longer this puma nonsense goes on, the more it will damage Hillary Clinton personally, politically and professionally.

Hillary Clinton to urge release of delegates

BY KENNETH R. BAZINET

The following comes from Hillary Clinton's website and from an email I received.

The email is both a congrats and a gentle call for contributions (to pay off her debt). Plus, she does have another Senate race coming up in the future. Nice way to grow the base.

From her website:

Hillary Clinton made the following statement today after receiving news that Senator Obama had chosen Senator Biden as his Vice Presidential nominee:

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
Till it's gone? ~ Joni Mitchell

=====================

I woke up teary eyed knowing I was about to live through yet another day of decimation of everything this country stands for and my forefathers fought for. It's just another amendment, I told myself. Number 4. No biggie. Get over it, ya whiny crybaby. Go fry some bigger fish.

Watch some TeeVee.

There is a diary over at MyDD right now, that is defending Wes Clark's call out of John McCain.

There are some that think Wes Clark was wrong in what and how he did this.

Want to rec the diary? Want to add some support for Wes Clark to the comments?

Corinthians 13:4-7

Patriotism is patient, patriotism is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Patriotism is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Patriotism does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

Patriotism always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
