<p>I will be highly disappointed of HRC gets on the ticket. IMO, Obama would be making a decision that goes against his entire campaign: change, out with old DC politics, etc… It will turn people off.</p>
<p>A lot of Obama’s economic policies are really bad for the country. Please read some of the opinion section in the WSJ the last couple of months. They concluded that Obama is bad for the country. It is so scary that he is on the verge of winning the Democratic Party nomination. </p>
<p>The Republican party has a better economic policies than the Democratic party, but they have not acted as fiscally conservatives for the last couple of years.</p>
<p>It will be a very stupid idea for Hillary to accept the V.P., and I strongly hope that she does not accept it when it is offered. </p>
<p>I have finally realized how incompetent the leadership of the DNC is. I have very little in common with the party.</p>
<p>mini: Yes, the military is indeed a huge exercise in corporate welfare in many ways. Unfortunately, it is also arguably (in a limited sense, much smaller than what exists now) necessary.</p>
<p>Free trade (NAFTA isn’t exactly it, but it’s close) is not at all about corporate welfare. In fact, absent wasteful and inefficient subsidies (which the EU countries, America and Japan all specialize in) it is an excellent tool for helping to lift LDCs out of poverty. Unfortunately, the massive subsidies in the developed world (especially in the agricultural sector) have really done a lot of damage to the developing world.</p>
<p>There is no such thing as “free trade”, just as there is no such thing as “free markets”. It’s just a ploy to transfer land, water, air, and sky from community to corporate interests, aided by government intervention. It is the very essence of corporate socialism.</p>
<p>“Contacting The Superdelegates” “Now that is dirty blackmail.”</p>
<p>What would you call this then?</p>

<p>Yes CelticClan’07, I think it is a riot superdelegates are trying to sell their vote. Was this the AA man?</p>
<p>Nobody is being asked to give these superdelegates a dime. Just remind them who votes for them, pays for their life long pension and medical benefits, etc. Thanks. I understand the writer of that above quote, Simba, is a Superdelegate.</p>
<p>mini, that is egregiously and entirely wrong. It is wrong primarily because when free trade works as it should (i.e. not distorted by governmental interference to favor certain businesses, but with adequate government control to prevent market failure and monopolistic rent seeking) and competition reigns, corporate control (at least in the sense I suspect you are talking about, namely large multinationals and other huge firms) is not in any way a necessity or even a large hallmark of the system.</p>
<p>That you say things that are manifestly absurd like “there is no such thing as ‘free markets’” makes me question your credibility.</p>
<p>Curious if anybody wrote, or better yet had a response. OH, WAIT, ARE THEY SAYING HILLARY IS CONCEDING?</p>
<p>Nope, heard wrong. One rep I emailed (and he had an easy to respond to website) acknowledged my email with promise of further response. There were no other SD already uncommitted in my state.</p>
<p>It was a very easy process, that took less than five minutes.</p>
<p>I think it is worth dropping an email to Nancy Pelosi. I heard her speak recently, and while she was uncommitted, as she said she had to be, it was very easy to tell who her preference is.</p>
<p>is committed to remaining uncommitted until after the last election in Puerto Rico a week from Tuesday so that all voters can be included in the process. He has stated that he will make his choice known then, and has called for all other super delegates to do the same.</p>
<p>“That you say things that are manifestly absurd like “there is no such thing as ‘free markets’” makes me question your credibility.”</p>
<p>I am only saying what the former CEO of Archer, Daniels, Midland has said on multiple occasions, and there hasn’t been a “free market” since George III bought the first cannon from a Quaker iron fashioner to fight the “colonials”. There hasn’t been a market since the 18th century where “government interference” (actually corporate interference through governmental agency) hasn’t favored “certain businesses” over others.</p>
<p>“Neo-liberalism” is just another moniker for “disaster capitalism”.</p>
