So you were the one both hypocritical and uninformed. But that is
not unusual.


If you knew what you were talking about you know I have predicted
Ms. Clinton would not be the vice presidential choice, and I hope
she is not. But since that does not fit your more self-serving distortion
of the truth, "what", as you noted, "can ya do?"...


I consider the Ignore Button to be the hideaway of cowards, so I
prefer to not hide there and I prefer to deal openly with whatever
anyone says which interests me for whatever reason.
Regarding my own positions, your comments have not been honest or
accurate.


No myth, but another factor which kept the election close enough for
the Bush/Rove machine to steal. Mr. Nader all but irrelevant this time
around, but a vote which goes to him rather than Mr. Obama is a
vote not going to defeat McCain.
I do not care what party you "register" with, or if you "register" with
any, nor do I care if you "conform", although you conformed pretty
quickly around here. Unfortunately, a few, you among them (about
which I admit some surprise) seem incapable of accepting that one
can have more than one thought in one's head at a time. I saw neither
Democratic candidate as without flaw, but favored either of them over
the guarantee of Bush Redux. The nominee is now Mr. Obama, and
I am happy to have him.
Again, I understand this does not fit into your boxy view of the issue
but fitting there is not very comfortable.
But keep up the name calling and distortion and misrepresentation,
oh, let us call it what it is, lying, about my position and I will
continue to correct you, ignored or not.
Fine, if you're unwilling to be a decent human being, much less stop resulting to distractions, back in the hole you go. I'm wasting my time trying to educate you. You're a lost cause at it was a mistake to take you off ignore.

Goodnight.

Adios. I would be delighted, however, to know what in your mind
constitutes a "decent human being"; I suspect there is some
requirement for agreeing with you at all times, something that is not
going to happen.

It is all kiddie games anyway, Heretic! These flacid minds cannot figure out the donations from those employed by a company or industry do not equal donations from the industry. Even a janitor for a company has to report that is the company they work for.

What feeble brained don't want to focus on is what the man's legislative history reflects about the nature of his relationship with the industry. He voted against the interests of Exelon while in the Illinois senate.

The whine about people who work for Exelon is silly season stuff! Note the Hillho was taking cash from the EXECUTIVES of the nuclear corps that she is up to her gullet in debt to!

******************************************

For Both Clinton and Obama, Nuclear Donors
By Matthew Mosk

Nuclear energy has been a hot topic as Democrats steam toward the Nevada caucuses, with New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton making her opposition to storing nuclear waste at Yucca Mountain a major component of her campaign there.

Clinton has also made the topic a key point of attack against rival Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois, putting out a radio ad that refers to Obama as being "hip deep in financial ties" to Chicago-based energy giant Exelon Corp., a nuclear plant operator that supports the Yucca waste site.

While Obama called the ad misleading during a campaign stop Thursday, his financial ties to Exelon appear to be inescapable. A cursory search of his campaign finance report shows 158 contributions from people who identify themselves as Exelon employees, totaling more than $150,000. [avr donation $949.37]

But Obama's not the only candidate wading deep in a pool of contributions from the nuclear energy industry.

Clinton has received $68,650 in 34 contributions from NRG Energy, [avr. donation $2,019.12] and the company's chief executive, David Crane, is listed as one of her Hillraisers -- meaning he has brought more than $100,000 in contributions into the campaign. The Clintons' ties to the New Jersey-based power giant run deeper than that, though. The company committed $5 million to the Clinton Global Initiative in 2007, according to the web site of the charity run by former president Bill Clinton. The company's six-year commitment is $175 million.

The commitments are not donations to the former president's charity, but promises made by the company to the Global Initiative to spend the money on projects that will "help increase the benefits and reduce the burdens of global interdependence, make a world of more partners and fewer enemies, and give more people the tools they need to build a better future."

*******************************************

In whiney the poo poo---THESE are the same thing?? SILLY SEASON!!


PS: Since it took me longer than a lot of the others here with Mr. Weird Winnie on ignore I have NO IDEA what he has written except that friends here tell me a lot about how obsessed he is with Harper and myself and most recently, Itsmeeeeeee. From what I understand he trolls us posting about 1 or all 3 of us in (what one poster suggested was ) well over 70% of all his posts. Poor obsessed fool!

I wonder if he will now obsess over you too!

When I pointed out Mr. Obama had support from the nuclear power
industry (whether it equaled Clinton's was not the issue) he attempted
to turn the conversation to my own views toward nuclear energy,
which had even less, in fact no connection to the issue.

But at least he will, or would, fight it out.
If you wish to address me or anything I have to say, do not
be a sniveling coward or depend upon your "friends" and come
forward as you once did and stand your ground. Or continue to hide
in the Ignore Bunker, if you believe I have nothing "worthwhile to say".
But if you do you really should shut up, since you do not have the...oh
what did you call it...oh yes, "testicular fortitude" to read the
responses to your potshots tossed like so many limp snowballs from a
rickety cardboard fort thrown together by children.

Barack is anti nuclear if he says no new plants should be built until a solution for nuclear waste is in place. And he opposes Yucca Mountain. It is a very slick anti nuclear position.
