Or…to volunteer for Hillary Clinton tomorrow in Rhode Island, contact her RI headquarters at 401-751-HILL or stop by her office located at 175 Broad Street in Providence. People will be making calls, knocking on doors, and holding signs all throughout the day. Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

NO YOU CANT’T!!!
Hillary Clinton is the only true Democrat left in this race. Enough with the Obama socialist agenda. America has finally woken from its sleep and has witnessed Obama for what he is. He doesn’t care about changing NAFTA and bringing jobs back to the U.S.A.; he cares about growing the Third World economies on the backs of the working class in this great nation.
Barack Hussein Obama has far more in common with the likes of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro than the blue collar workers right here on Main Stree U.S.A.
If the socialist aganda is so foolhardy to steal this elction from the last true Democrat, Hillary Clinton, then every last luch bucket Dem will be joining the John McCain campaign. America is ready to elect either a woman or African American as President. America will never elect the socialist Barack Hussein Obama.

Give me a break…lovely drive-by posting here from someone we’ve never heard of.
What’s with the bullsh*t socialist claim? It doesn’t seem to me that Clinton or Obama are actually that far apart on the issues. So if Obama is socialist, so is Clinton.
Knock off the drive-by shilling, it hurts your candidate, not helps it.

No!. and stop your profanity, it is totally uncalled for but I would expect nothing less from an Obama fanatic. What exactly does this guy stand for anyway? Seems like only illegal aliens and froeigners from Third World countries would benefit from an Obama Presiency while us Main Street blue collar workers continue to get screwed. Just say no to Barack Hussein Obama Socialism. Neither Bill or Hillary is anything remotely close to Socialist, and this is the reason you despise them so. Face the facts, Obama is a Black Dennis Kucinich nut. No thank you. If Obama was not Black, he would have been out of this race as quick as an Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. There are many competent African American politicians and businessmen or women, Obama is not one of them.
Just look to his friend and campaign co-chair Deval “Missing In Action” Patrick. How about universal healthcare in Massachusetts Deval? Nah he says, why not make all State union workers making over $50,000 annually to pay more (25% that is) towards there share of health care premiums. Can anyone say PAYCUT folks. Is this the Change you want to see for America??? Screw the working class, and more welfare for illegal aliens??? It is time to wake up and realize that this is 2008, gender and race should have nothing to do with electing the best candidate to lead this nation. Unfortunatley Obamamania is only about race. 80% of all Blacks just want a Black President and the well to do Socialist wing of the Party wants to show the World how “progressive” (or more appropriately, stupid)America is. Obamamania is all about rascism. Obama does well in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, and expects to do well in Mississippi. Anyone want to guess why that might be??? Hmmm.
Hillary Clinton has broad based support from the core of the Democratic Party, the blue collar worker. She has prevailed with large numbers in every major industrial state. Obama has won in the states with a huge Black population and the very rural (or more appropriately hardcore Republican) states. Obama brings nothing to the table but a few speeches and catch phrases. His plan is to tell people what they want to hear in order to get the votes, then worry about actually learning how to do the job later (A Recipe For Disaster and Failure).

Obama fanatic? Honey, that just proves you haven’t been reading my blog at all and are a drive-by shill from nowhere. I barely post on the national race at all, and I’m not without doubts about Obama to begin with. However, I did vote for him, and I don’t really like Clinton (for reasons of issues and her past votes, not anything personal…a feat which you seem to be incapable of).
But you, with that rhetoric, using very slimy talking points, are - almost - lying and slandering. Not to mention, making your own candidate look like crap. But, again, keep at it, if you really want Clinton supporters to look like shilling negative liars who would rather hurt a fellow Democrat than win the election in the fall.
And buddy, this is my blog, if I want to be profane to make a point, who the hell are you to tell me to stop? Go get your own blog. Get off of mine, if you don’t like it.
