Recently somebody posted an "Open letter to Linfar," which could only be considered a letter in this digital age. However, whether or not the drivel should have been considered a letter or not is not the point of this diary.
The diarists decries Linfar's sense of honesty and belief that an Obama election is the best thing we can do at this point. They forget the fact that Linfar once supported Hillary. They forget the fact that as Democrats we should ALL want to avoid a McCain Presidency... they probably forget a few other things as well but I'll leave that be.
The central question in their diary is why does Linfar (and others) doubt the purity of their intentions.
The question in my diary is this: Who else, aside from Linfar and myself, doubt the purity of their intentions?
thats right, he can't.... do you know why????
... think about it...
... keep thinking...
figure it out yet?
Its because he wouldn't want to. He supports Bush on crap like this, along with most other crap. He is Bush's third term. This can not be stressed enough.
Lets look at some other things McCain "can't" do
Now that we have a nominee in Barack Obama, it would seem that nothing can stop him from sweeping into the Oval office this fall. Curiously, however, some people seemed to be concerned that Obama can't win because he can't get white voters or can't keep the dissapointed Clinton supporters in his camp.
While some stories like this NPR story are fairly benign,
there are other stories documenting the growing number of Clinton for McCain supporters
and even a website boasting of 15,000 supporters and threatening the following
Our Plans.It is our mission to raise money, promote John McCain. We will set up a "527" to raise money, run TV and radio ads against Obama. The Democrat party has left us out in the cold, so we are going to build a fire that they cannot put out
Really? how did the "democrat" party leave anyone out in the cold? More on these McCan'ts...
This is the sixth in our series of profiles of Barack Obama's most likely vice presidential candidates. We will be profiling Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell later this evening. Our previous profiles can be viewed here.
No introduction necessary. John Edwards has had an overwhelming impact on this primary season, dragging the two top contenders left-ward on everything from health care to labor to poverty awareness. Without his presence, Obama and Clinton would currently be offering very different platforms. Given the magnitude of his influence on the primaries, and his continued popularity among party activists, many believe John Edwards would make an excellent addition to an Obama ticket.
There's more below the fold...
McCain is at it again, despite being cute on Saturday Night Live, he is out there making statements again on Obama's foreign policy.
I have news for Senator Obama, talking, in unconditionally with a man who says Israel is a rotting corpse, will not get Iran to give up their Nuclear weapons program and it is reckless.
(as opposed to Bush's 'sensible' foreign policy???)
Listen to Edwards slamming Bush and McCain and showing the importance of going in a new direction with Barack Obama.

Alright so you're a progressive, or a big sky democrat. You're one of the chosen few. You might be an independent, you're not swayed by the whim of some party line propaganda. You know the real story. You're not a Clintonista. You're not an Obama-head. You're a real live voter with real live voter instincts that are so sharp if a single samurai thread of hair falls on them it will be cut into two.
Do me a favor. Try out this simple quiz and see if you know the difference between George W. Bush, and John McCain.
And seriously. If anyone HONESTLY gets all of these five questions right - can they post back over here about it?
Because I consider myself fairly savvy, hey - you know. A guy who front pages myDD (when Jerome lets me), every now and then. Fairly in the know. I will admit. I got 2/5 wrong. It blew me away.
#1 McCain targets Obama - Republicans, as has been noted so emphatically and frequently on MyDD, are shrewd with their own money. The fact that McCain and the Republican machine has begun to attack Obama can only mean that they believe he will inevitably get the nomination.
#2 It's the delegates, stupid - Obama has a 150 point delegate lead. PA was Hillary's last chance to make a dent in this lead and she only netted 10-12 delegates. With just over 300 supers left and no other large winnable primaries, Hillary cannot score enough of the remaining delegates to catch up.
#3 Obama targets McCain - Obama no longer sees Hillary as a threat. He understands that the nomination is just a waiting game at this point, so why waste time and money arguing with Hillary about his pastor, when he could be arguing with McCain about the economy, ending the war... and his pastor.
If anyone has a realistic path to nomination for Hillary that doesn't involve destroying the Democratic party, please post it.
In the past few months Hillary Clinton:
Lied about her opposition to the war in IraqShe was caught red handed each time and she is still running for president? Am I missing something? Why are we still talking about primary polls and delegates and not talking about how Obama will beat John McCain in November?
