A Gore/Edwards/Kucinich tag-team endorsement could end this battle
Whether they stand together on a stage and endorse Clinton or Obama, I think most progressive, liberal voices would sway and support the other to bow out and unify the party for a November win.
I wish they would do that!!

2. I like Mr. Gore. I like Mr. Kucinich. I like Mr. Edwards...
But I will not vote for either candidate because they say "that's the one".
Wow a primitive with his own opinion

3. But if you were a supporter of theirs,
And they said this candidate (whomever they endorse) is most likely to uphold our principle beliefs. They've agreed, and fully support promoting X, Y, Z. etc, etc.
Does that make a difference in how you feel about Candidate X?

6. No.
Nor does Oprah or any Kennedy or anyone else who has endorsed either candidate.
They turn a blind eye to things that they find unimportant or trivial which makes me question their judgement. As a gay man I don't trust either candidate to hold my best interests.

10. Eh?
Isn't that what most people vote on? What they feel is best for them? For their family? You'll have to forgive me, I find the question just a tad strange.
who deactivated WillBowdens hive chip

16. My apologies
I'm not a big-picture person in this election. For the last 25 years I've put aside my wants and needs as a gay person because it seemed secondary.
Then my better half had heart surgery and I realized that I could lose him. And not one thing that these politicians say or do could ever give him back to me.
The same goes for Paul. I could die tomorrow and everything that we worked together for could be taken away from him.
So to the person who asked me if it's always about me and my agenda...This time around, yes. It is. Sorry if that seems selfish, but Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama have those rights that I do not. And they take me for granted. They'll take my vote but offer little in return.

9. And I would never expect you to do anything but what you feel is right
I respect your choice, no matter who it is for. But both candidates must earn my respect. It will not be freely given to either.

5. Or, they might endorse Hillary
Her environmental record is better than Obama's. Only slightly, but still better. So that leaves Gore out.
Obama is averse to conflict. Scratch Edwards.
Kucinich said he would never support anyone who votes to continue the war in Iraq. So he's out.
If wishes were horses, we could glue the moon to New Jersey.

15. I hope Edwards endorses Obama after the Louisiana primary. It'd flow with his campaign theme.
He could argue that he's endorsing based on what the suffering people of New Orleans and Louisiana as a whole want.

They took out will's hive chip when they installed "Interior Decorating and putting together fabulous cocktail parties" chip. :-)

What rights do Sens. Obama and Clinton have that WillBowden does not? Did WillBowden ever list any? I'd like to know, because this idea of unequal rights is frightening to me. Whoever took those rights away from WillBowden and did not take them away from Sens. Obama and Clinton at the same time must be destroyed!

Being gay is a right, it's written in the copy of the Constitution that they use at the DUmp....no really... :-)

Let me see if I understand what this gay American is saying.

Gay or not, this is the first utterly selfless liberal in the country.
Then my better half had heart surgery and I realized that I could lose him. And not one thing that these politicians say or do could ever give him back to me.
"Prior to my life partner having surgery I truly believed democrat politicians could raise the dead."
The same goes for Paul. I could die tomorrow and everything that we worked together for could be taken away from him.
"We were smart enough to acquire assets but too stupid to make out a will making each other beneficiaries."
So to the person who asked me if it's always about me and my agenda...This time around, yes. It is. Sorry if that seems selfish, but Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama have those rights that I do not. And they take me for granted. They'll take my vote but offer little in return.
"There are a million issues that matter in this election, but this time it's all about ME, ME, ME!!!! Why should I have to be responsible for my life! Whoever wins this election has to MANDATE super duper rights for gays or I'm going to throw a tantrum and pout and whine for the next 4 years!"

Yeah, I'm not understanding that either, Delilah. Haven't these idiots ever heard of wills? My God, people are leaving millions to friggin' dogs in this country. :whatever:
