  1. I'm sure most of us would rather be doing that than what we're doing. He's not breaking any rules, it's the Army that changed the rules to allow it. If you don't like it, blame the Army, not the player. He said he heard from many fellow soldiers who thought it was great that he got the opportunity. The Bills just signed a FA fullback from Army that will have the same opportunity.

  2. Where do the Clintonites get the impression that Obama is the one who prevented revotes in FL and MI? As far as I know, the states themselves decided that it was too costly or too late to have a redo. He may have been against some of the re-do proposals but so was Hillary...for example, a caucus instead of a primary.

     

    The states themselves screwed this one up by defying the DNC even though they were warned that the results wouldn't count. The states of MI and FL disenfranchised their voters and that's where their citizens' ire should be directed.

     

    The financing wasn't an issue, the DNC found donors who were willing to cover the cost. Michigan and Florida have primaries, not caucuses. To switch to a different method of voting would make no sense and would just serve to confuse the voters. And the state legislatures and governors were ready to support new primaries to be held in June, but wouldn't agree to do it unless all parties agreed. Hillary agreed, the DNC agreed, but Obama wouldn't agree, therefore it didn't go forward.

  3. The idea that he would "lose worse than he did" is amusing.

     

    He would still lose, which is why his campaign didn't want to do it. He knew they would be disregarded if he didn't agree to it, so why should he/

     

    So Obama only wants to have primaries in states that he has a chance to win? That's a new spin on democracy. I'm sure the voters in Florida and Michigan will flock towards that type of "change" in the general election. The delegates may be disregarded, but the superdelegates will look at the popular vote totals and unwillingness to revote as factors to support Hillary for the nomination.

  4. My wife had it done a few years ago in Niagara Falls. It was uncomfortable to wear contacts, and it was getting to the point where she would need trifocals. She had no complications, but does have to wear generic reading glasses that you can buy at a drugstore for close up. I've thought about it, but I'm worried that I'd be the 5% that have some bad complications. I'd like to keep my eyesight until the Bills or Sabres win a championship.

  5. No time to revote. They missed that opportunity. And with that being said they can't simply give Hillary the delegates - in no way would that be fair to Obama. So one would think to somewhat please the masses that screwed up their own fate - split the delegates.

     

    There was time to have a revote in June, but Obama wouldn't agree to it so the proposals couldn't go forward. Include the popular votes in Florida and Michigan, and Hillary is ahead by about 133,000. He didn't want a revote because he figured he would lose by a larger margin than what happened in the first votes.

  7. Spoken like a true Clinton supporter. She has NO CHANCE of winning the nomination unless she steals it.

     

    Yeah, and you're right if Clinton loses, it will be the death of Democracy and the end of life as we know it. <_<

     

    It's such a pathetic argument. Hillary was all but given the nomination at the start. She then went on to lose something like 11 states in a row and has no chance of winning the nomination anymore. But now it's all about trying to right a wrong by giving her the nomination because...well...just because. I just wish she and her supporters would STFU.

     

    That's my thoughts.

     

    Spoken like a true Obama supporter. How can Clinton steal something that nobody has won? Obama hasn't reached 2025, and won't with pledged delegates. The rules don't say the person with the most pledged delegates wins, it's the one who gets 2025. Otherwise it's up to the candidates to convince the superdelegates that they're the best candidate. And don't whine about how it's disinfranchising the voters unless you're willing to count Florida and Michigan or let them revote, neither of which Obama was willing to do.

     

    Obama supporters just keep wishing Hillary would quit so Obama could be given the nomination before his rope-a-dope strategy fails. Sorry, but until somebody gets 2025, it has to be earned. Worry less about Hillary and more about how Obama is going to convince blue collar white voters that he better represents their interests.

  8. Trisha Nixon has endorsed Obama also.

     

    It's incredible the wide range of people to whom the man appeals. That's the definition of a "uniter".

     

    Actually it's Julie Nixon Eisenhower who is supporting Obama. Patricia Nixon Cox is a strong supporter of McCain; her husband, Ed Cox, served as state chairman for his New York primary campaign.

  9. Interesting story

     

    "Now consider Kubrick's famous use of Richard Strauss' “Thus Spake Zarathustra.'' Inspired by the words of Nietzsche, its five bold opening notes embody the ascension of man into spheres reserved for the gods. It is cold, frightening, magnificent."

     

    I guess that shoots down the theory that he used Ric Flair's theme song to get the wrestling crowd to buy tickets to the movie.

  10. The two games against the Pats, since you want to beat the best team in the division to have a chance of winning it, and the Cleveland Monday night game because the Bills need some positive national exposure and it's a team the Bills may be competing with for a wildcard.

  11. I don't think it's the contradiction. It's that she's a !@#$ing chamelion and wants everyone to love her. That is so !@#$ing phoney and pathetic it makes me sick.

     

    You would rather she took an extremist view of no gun restrictions or a total ban instead of a moderate position? That makes sense. <_<

     

     

    I think she figured that soldiers would get killed, hence there would be less of them, which is a good thing.

     

    Hillary's outright hatred of the military is legendary. I still can't figure out how she got on the Senate Armed Services Committee. It's like putting Hitler on the board of B'nai B'rith.

     

    And once again someone goes over the deep end comparing Hillary to Hitler. A legendary hatred of the military, based on what specifics?
