Hope vs. Fear

Obama is a fairy tale.. he presents himself as prince charming, but he’s really a grasping nasty vicious politico.
better choice is McCain… at least he’s done something for America

John McSame is saying Barack should meet him Iraq…
How about he get a head start,stay there and fight the war until Barack is President and end the war, brings our McSame and our troops home.. sounds good to me.
Obama 08

trettine:
What has McCain really done for America?
rockthebleachers:
What does Obama not have a clue about? FYI: everything is not an answer.

mary…great observation. It seems HRC wants to comoplain and whin about everything in this election because she is loosing. What she needs to do is look within. It isn’t Obama who lost this campaign for her, but her own incompetant campaign. She had it all going for her, but blew it..HILLARY, ADMIT IT !!!

telltruth, you told the truth! well said.

Mary, well said! Thank you for your insight. Obama worked with the poor and downtrodden..yet there are those who try to paint him as an elitist..even his life growing up with his grandparents, fatherless. Obama is going to fight hard to make a difference for everyone..he will keep his word to the veterans and the people of America. This country will be better for it..If America can give George Bush 8 years why not Obama..look where George Bush has brought us..I know a lot of Republicans who are ashamed to even acknowledge that they are! Wake up America! vote Dems 08

OBAMA HAS RUN HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES!
What is the most important “right” granted to U.S. citizens? THE RIGHT TO VOTE!!!
A GROUP OF “POLITICIANS” (including Obama) ARE TAKING IT AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN!!!
WE NEED TO COUNT THE “PEOPLE’S VOTES” — NOT THE “DELEGATES”.
IF OUR REPRESENTATIVES DON’T LISTEN TO US — WE NEED TO VOTE THEM OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WE DON’T NEED A RADICAL, ANTI-AMERICAN IN OUR HIGHEST OFFICE. OBAMA HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES. He has too many anti-Jewish, Anti-white, Anti-American and terrorist friends and associates.
HILLARY 2008.

WE NEED TO COUNT THE “PEOPLE’S VOTES” — NOT THE “DELEGATES”.
**********
But that is not the way the process works. Maybe it should be, but for now, it’s not.
A GROUP OF “POLITICIANS” (including Obama) ARE TAKING IT AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN!!!
**************
The DNC and NOT Obama imposed sanctions on FL and MI (where I live). Please get your facts straight.

Spin as you like, Dowd, she has won the popular vote and the polls say his support is eroding in the mainstream. The DNC has committed a colossal blunder this time.
At least when Obama goes, Pelosi goes with him as well as the careers of a few political pundits. I’m a lifelong Democrat and I can live with McCain for four years better than I can live with the non-issue no-plan no-experience of Barack Obama.

How can he equate Huckabee who was no where near McCain in votes to Hillary?

By ROBIN TONER,
Published: March 20, 1992
Former Senator Paul E. Tsongas of Massachusetts withdrew from the race for the Democratic Presidential nomination today, a decision that many in his party said all but insured the selection of Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas.
Mr. Tsongas announced his departure at a news conference in Boston, where he said his campaign did not have enough money to continue. His move leaves only former Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr. of California to compete with Mr. Clinton in the remaining primaries and caucuses in 21 states.
Without adequate money to win, Mr. Tsongas said, “the alternative was to play the role of spoiler.” ‘That Is Not Worthy’
“That is not what I’m about,” he continued. “That is not worthy. I did not survive my ordeals in order to be the agent of the re-election of George Bush.”
–Why is Hillary playing bankrupted spoiler for Obama rather than being loyal to the Democratic Party like Tsongas was.

len,
you are clearly looking at old polls.

This is from Hillary’s campaign website:
Secondly, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and TED KENNEDY are laboring under the GROSS MISCONCEPTION that WE ARE AS DISLOYAL AND INSCRUPULOUS AS THEY ARE. Moreover, the DNC Leadership MUST BE CONVINCED THAT WE WILL NOT PASSIVELY ACCEPT Barack Obama as our Democratic Nominee, and that WE ARE STEADFAST Hillary Clinton Supporters. Consequently, the DNC Leadership MUST BE CONVINCED that if HRC IS NOT ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN NOVEMBER, SOME OF US MAY CHOOSE to leave the DEMOCRATIC Party, OR SIMPLY ‘STAY HOME’ ON ELECTION DAY.

Mr. Dowd, you couldn’t be further from the truth! On the contrary, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has won the most popular votes and has also won all the major states and will win the remaining states. So stop runnung your mouth and engage your brain rather than making a fool of yourself!!
Go Hillary Clinton for ’08!!

LET DEMOCRACY RUN ITS COURSE!
THIS ELECTION MUST END AT THE CONVENTION ONLY! AND NOT IN THE MEDIA!
STOP THE MEDIA FRAUD!
GIVE HILLARY A FAIR CHANCE TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!
LET PEOPLE VOTE!!!

Best analysis I’ve seen of the election so far… This sould be seen by everybody so they can get a grip over the campaign. And take a deep breath.

Obama has 1600 pledged delegates, Clinton 1500 and she is still winning elections. This comes down to superdelegates, and if they choose to loose: There will be hell to pay!
The psychological analysis of Clinton is awful, another example of how people are deminishing Clinton unfairly, not facing up to the fact she can still win! It might be a slim chance, but she is running for President!

MATTHEW DOWD IS VERY STUPID! IF YOU EVER WATCH HIM ON ABC, YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE SURPRISED BY HOW STUPID HE IS. HE DOES NOT KNOW THE FACTS.THE PROGRAM HOSTS OR OTHER GUESTS ALWAYS CORRECT HIS WRONG STATEMENTS.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY THEY HAVE ON THE PROGRAMS. HE LOOKS VERY STUPID.
VIVA MCCAIN

LOL!!! What else have you noticed? I am not scared of Obama. I am scared of his zombies.
“I have noticed all along Obama’s supporters are siding with him out of HOPE for the nation. But HRC’s supporters reject Obama out of FEAR. And unfortunately, HRC plugged into that fear early on and was far too eager to fan those flames.”

YOU ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AN IDIOT.
HILLARY HAS NOT LOST LIKE HUCKABEE. SHE HAS WON 17Million votes. And if you count the votes as they were cast, then she has won more votes then YOUR FAVORITE MR. OBAMA.
Also OBAMA has lost all but 3 states, after the Rev. Wright’s comments. OBAMA is in lead because of Feb 5 election with a straight 10 victories, when US citizens hardly knew anything about him. And that is the reality, that Obama supporters have to emerse themselves into. Clinton has won 7 out of the 10 elections after Rev. Wright comments. North Carolina went to Obama because of 38% of Black voters. He got 56% of the votes, so only 18% non-black voters vs 42% of all non black voters voted for Hillary. America is 85% white, Super Delegates will have to come to terms with this statistics, and will have to decide, if they want to take chance or not? Also all the Traditional Blue votes, NJ, NY, CA etc voted for Hillary, they want Hillary to represent them. And that is another reality. SDs will have to decide if they want to take the TRADITIONAL BLUE voters for granted and put someone in White House, based on the RED state’s verdicts?
Hillary has more then 300 electoral votes and she will bag 50 more in the next 3 states that go to polls on 2nd june.
By all accounts – and the verdict of Blue voters – Hillary is wining. Media who is looking for next 4 years of scandles and profits is supporting Obama. Since they think they will have a lot of ammunition for next 4 years, Remember the same thing happened with Al Gore and President Bush. Media became rich in last 8 years of Bush’s rule – and they want to also make some more in the next 4 years, that’s why
Obama is Media’s favorite – and that’s the reality…

Um, Matthew Dowd’s psychobabble falls flat on its sophmorically stupid face when he compares Hillary staying in the race with possibly Sens. Dodd or Biden staying in the race simply because “something might happen”. Um, Matt, where either Sens. Dodd or Biden pulling in over 30% of the votes in any of the primaries? Hillary is going to take the popular vote by June 3rd. There goes your lame-ass argument pal.
BTW, I voted for the great Senator Joe Biden myself.

To: Average Joe
You can not stop the media doing their job. If you do not like what they write, its better you stop involving yourself in all discussion.
Nevertheless, I wish you luck on your longwaiting “Convetion”!

Sorry REPLACE CONGRESS, Obama did not take the votes away from FL and MI. You can thank the DNC and the Governors of these 2 states for taking away these votes. The governors moved the primaries up and the DNC punished these states. Please show me where B.O. has come into this equation?
I swear I have read tons of blogs and forums on this presidential thing, and I have most certainly noticed, that B.O. does bring out the brighter more intelligent Americans, while HRC seems to bring out people with little education. They do not debate back they spew insults. And McCain supporters seem to be afraid (and very gulible I might add).
Am I the only one who has observed this?

Average Joe…I assume you are referencing your IQ…Hillary has HAD more than a fair chance. And we are only left with 3 primaries. As to voter suppression, why not turn that anger on the Supreme Court and their recent ruling to try and prevent poor people, old folks, and disabled people from voting?
If we don’t elect a Democrat in 08, then get ready for LOTS of things to change, including the balance of the Supreme Court! We can’t allow a President McCain to appoint more Roberts and Allito types.
Hillary is not fighting this battle for voters, she is fighting this battle for Hillary. As with all things Clinton, them first and America second.

Barack, Hillary, come together and beat the Republicans that have ruined our country these past eight years.

Actually, Obama played on fear many times in the campaign.
We are tired of “Washington politics.”
Clinton will divide the nation.
I am “confident that I can win Clinton’s voters,” but I’m not sure she can get mine.
The Republicans will have a “dumptruck of dirt” on Clinton.
Clinton is “more of the same.”
People became bitter because of Bush and Clinton.
Clinton will “garnish” your wages to pay for health care.
Clinton will ship your jobs away.
Clinton will lie to you. Clinton wants me killed! OOOps, not she doesn’t…let’s now move on….
McCain = Bush III
McCain wants 100 years of warfare in Iraq
McCain loses his bearings
STOP THE MADNESS!!!

Another piece of nonsense from BO:
Obama also spoke about his uncle, who was part of the American brigade that helped to liberate Auschwitz.
Unfortunately, he didn’t pay attention in History class. It was the Russians who liberated Auschwitz. Some how stupidity like this will be spun to his advantage.

Hillary voted for this war. That was her first mistake. Her second was to run a fairly poor campaign. Her third was to change into different people that we people could barely rcognize trying to play hard and as a hawk so she could be accepted by men.
Her fourth mistake was to attack someone so viciously that people found it unacceptable even in a competitive race. Her fifth was race baiting and calling out race codes so she could divide the electorate which was successful on one hand but so divisive on the other hand tha she lost me, a once faithful supporter.
Finally, she made the mistake of thinking that because people voted for her husband they would all vote for her, that is not necessarily true. And that whining all the time.
I am a so-called Hillary demographic old enough to know about and relate to everything she’s going through and also smart enough to see through everything she tried.

It’s over for the Democratic Party.
Sen McCain-08

the DNC cannot hand this over to the least experienced candidate, who is behind in the popular vote and who has refused over and over to COUNT THE VOTES!
STOP THE MEDIA FRAUD, VOTER SUPPRESSION AND THEIR ATTACKS ON OUR DEMOCRACY!!
LET DEMOCRACY RUN ITS COURSE!
THIS ELECTION MUST END AT THE CONVENTION ONLY! AND NOT IN THE MEDIA!
STOP THE MEDIA FRAUD!
GIVE HILLARY A FAIR CHANCE TO GO THROUGH THE ENTIRE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS!
LET PEOPLE VOTE!!!

REPLACE CONGRESS – there is no such thing as the “most important” right…. The most ‘important’ is only relevant to the situation at hand. For instance, A woman that was raped and got pregnant, may want to abort her baby……thus praticing and maybe the most important right to chose abortion. The argument about most important right is to vote is weak, especially in this case where the right to vote was at the risk of breaking the ‘right’ of the party rules… HRC is a strong woman and she should see this for what its worth…… she ran a campain and lost. it is true she would have been the first female president, but nontheless she still is making history… despite the fact she ruined her chances by making some poor decisions / choices..

Hillary has continued to support seating all delegates and having the votes counted in MI and FL. Obama refused to negotiate or support a revote that Hillary proposed, in fact he did all he could to stop the votes from being counted. To curry favor with voters, Obama withdrew his name from the ballot in MI as others did, after the polls showed that Hillary would win big in MI. Many voters have expected that the DNC would eventually seat the delegates from MI and FL, and those states immediately appealed the DNC decision. I’d sooner support a candidate that supports democracy, which means counting all the votes and letting delegates have their say. Obama has said previously that the state super delegates should vote the same way as the majority in their state, and then he has contacted those superdelegates daily in order for them to change their votes to him and to not support the majority vote in the state.

All these Obama lovers who have been pushing for Hillary to give up are a joke. As if you people knew what was best for the party. You already had your chance. Kerry and Gore, who were supposed to be highly intelligent people, lost to a Moron and you let it happen.
Where were you people when the recount happened, when Bush stole the elections? That’s when you should have been screaming and fighting.
The only ones who could beat these people are the Clintons. Bill did it. Hillary can to. When will you wake up?
You people are going to cause us to lose this election as well. Mark my word.

This is a gem of a piece. Obama and Clinton should read and re-read it as Democrats wind down the primary season! Now about McCain’s challenge to Obama to come to Iraq, lets not forget that this is McCain-Bush-Cheney war. They are the ones who should spent the rest of their days in Iraq, not Obama. Obama has better things to do. Perhaps they want Obama to come there so that they can do him in. This is a war that Obama said from the beginning should not have been declared. Overwhelming number of Americans agree!!! Dr. Sam

Hillary and Bill Clinton have been in the ANGER phase for the last 15 years. Angry that he got caught cheating on his wife; angry that idiots didn’t accept her health plan; angry that they had to leave the White House; angry that people just don’t get that they are the golden couple; angry that they aren’t the golden couple. If there’s one advantage to voting McCain for President it’s that he’ll die pretty soon and we won’t have McCain the Ex-President standing at every podium he can get wagging his finger at the world for the next 50 years.

Apparently, only women are seen as so emotional that they are viewed as going through a “grief” process during elections. I never heard that argument made about Edwards last year – who stayed around after it was clear he wouldn’t win. Neither with respect to Dean who went from frontrunner to loser over night. I didnt hear that argument made about Ted Kennedy or Jesse Jackson or Gary Hart when they ran out the primary seasons, despite losing by much more than Clinton. Alas, men just “play the game.” Women are psychos. I get it. Thanks for clarifying things.

I get that McCain has more experience with the military than does Obama. But his experience is primarily from Viet Nam. Is it possible that he has the WONG kind of experience? Maybe he thinks it is OK to fight a way of attrition, since that is the war we fought in Viet Nam. Maybe he thinks it is OK to fight a war where there are no clear victories and where the only exit plan is complete occupation of a country, just like in Viet Nam. I say again, maybe McCain has the WRONG kind of experience. I don’t want my great-grandchildren dying in Iraq!

Bubba,
Michelle Obama is the angry one. YIKES! Now that woman is a piece of work.

USmarine0331
Hillary has had it. Time to join the O-Bozo express!
Toot Toot! All aboard!

What type of sorry human being do you have to be to take this article and somehow hate on Obama?? I guess youd have to be a sorry, stupid human.

Out of the mouths of babes: In anticipation of Memorial Day, my son’s 5th grade class was studying WWII, and this led to a great discussion between my son and myself. My son noted that the U.S. and Russia were enemies in WWII. He said he understood that Stalin was a very bad man and that the Communist regime was very brutal to its own people. But, in order to defeat an even more imminent danger (Hitler), Roosevelt teamed with Stalin to fight Hitler. The U.S. and Russia were allies to fight against a common enemy. We all know that.
Then my son asked: Why didn’t Bush use Sadaam Husein to fight against al-Qaeda? We all know that Sadam Hussein was a brutal man, but he was also a natural enemy of al-Quaeda. Wouldn’t it have been better NOT to invade Iraq and to seek Iraq’s help in killing al-Qaeda? Once my son said that, it became crystal clear to me that the entire Iraq war had been a mistake. We could have used Saddam Hussein to track down and kill Osama bin Laden. So, why didn’t Bush do this? It doesn’t make sense. It was al-Qaeda that attacked us. It was al-Qaeda that was threatening the use of weapons of mass destruction. Why didn’t we use Iraq in our fight? Why did we start two wars at the same time? Iraq was the natural enemy of Iran — we could have used Hussein for that as well. It just doesn’t make sense. If McCain’s judgment is as bad as Bush’s judgment in this matter, then I will vote for the Democratic nominee.

Which one J?? Be specific. Is it wanting to talk to enemies like our greatest Presidents have done?? Or could it be wanting to get out of our dependency on foreign oil?? Maybe its wanting to revamp Affirmative Action?? Which is it??

Do you want America to remain the world’s only super power, or do you want Obama to lead America’s decline to being an equal to lesser countries, like France?
Do you want America to guarantee its access to Middle Eastern Oil, or would you rather see Iran become the dominant power in the Middle East, and to gain control of Iraq, even though another Arab oil embargo will cause massive unemployment, inflation, and an economic depression at home?
Do you want Iran to be prevented from acquiring nuclear weapons, or do you want Iran to acquire nuclear weapons?
If you want America to decline, vote for Obama.
If you want America to remain the world’s only super-power, vote for Hillary or McCain.

“Now one of Clinton’s Laws of Politics is this,” Mr. Clinton says. “If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to think; if one candidate’s appealing to your fears and the other one’s appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope. That’s the best.”

lol. Usmarine, the crazy part about that statement is I HOPE you don’t really believe we are the worlds only superpower. if you do, then I understand COMPLETELY why you support a candidate that lies to your face.

And J, you probably make that comment after voting for Bush over another war hero(Kerry)

What is presently happening to the Clinton Campaign and the evocation of the Assasination of Kennedy during June 1968 seems to me a clear frustration from her part and her comtemplation that a likely situation should happen to Obama. I do not think that her evocation of of the Campaigns in June 1992 and that of 1968 in which Bobby Kennedy was assasinated hat any connection to the Campaign of 2008. I think sen. Clinton is not taking all Americans for fools. Why should Clinton and her Campaign be complaning only about other forces that hampered their successes, THE MEDIA; SEXISM; OBAMA; what about Her and her campaign? She should allow her finger from Obama, Obama hat shown all the concern for her during the campaign, but now she is soliciting the assasination of Obama. America is now too advanced for your call.

Smarter than the rest
I agree! Unite – behind McCain. He’s a much better democrat than is the puppet of Dean and Pelosi.

The Oracle, I got news for you; that is, America is the world’s only super power.
Why? Because no other country can match the economic and military might of the United States.
If you are arguing to the contrary, you are only fooling yourself.

Oracle,
Just listen to him on Iran. First they were no big deal. The next day he totally flip flops on the subject. Iran is nobody to mess with and he thinks that he will sit down with Ahmenijad (not sure I spelled that right) and talk nice with that nut? His hope and change bs isn’t gonna cut it with Iran, or Cuba.

Hillary should run as an Independent. I think she will!

Joyce,
I hope she does. She can tell the democrats to kiss her behind.

Ridiculous article! Ridiculous! Ridiculous! ABC, leave Hillary alone!!!!

Sen. Clinton has been running as an independent ever since Super Tuesday. Let’s hope she doesn’t play that game in November.

Another Hillary supporter here ready to become a McCainiac if Obama is nominated.

People – this article isn’t about who is the best candidate – it is about what the electorate sees in them. Stay on topic – who cares about your comments of McCain is best or Obama is best – the article is talking about why candidates appeal to certain voters. So read the article first.
Great article.

Oracle,
If you think that Iran doesn’t already have nukes you are as naive as Obama is.
Let your little messiah screw this country up even more. I have several options if Hillary doesn’t run as an independent. I either won’t vote, vote McCain.

Agreed, good article. Hillary purposely pushed fear though, and a bit too hard! That turned off a lot of undecided democrats that pushed them over to Obama.
I think Obama has a very good chance of beating McCain in the GE, but he does have some demons to over come.
I would like to see Obama drop the use of big words for the GE and not be afraid to speak more plainly. He should not make the same mistakes that both Gore and Kerry made! Both were 100% better speakers then bush, and 150% smarter then Bush, yet Bush beat them both.
He really can not appear to be a elitist! And I’m afraid his excellent command of the english language may scare some people. He needs to dummy himself up so he can connect to the average Americans. By practice they do not want a President too much smarter then themselves!
He needs to connect to these people! And he can’t do that by playing basketball wearing a suite and tie! He needs to address their fears BUT not over play it. Let McCain over play it!
My biggest worry is he is going to appear as a elitist. Hillary Clinton and Bill were both more elitist then Obama, BUT the Clinton’s know how to speak Hill-Bill, which is some thing Obama is not good at. Not to worry neither is McCain! Another elitist! So there is a good chance Obama can win the GE and become the first black President of the USA!
Go Obama 2008!

Smarter than the rest
Without a doubt, McCain is the better democrat. Obama (aka Soetoro) is a puppet who will do what Pelosi and the other ultras tell him to do. Simple!

Obama’s rise to the power if he becomes president – almost similar to the rise of Moghuls in Indian history. My rationale – Moghuls, a group of Muslims,
took over India in 15/16th century, India being Hindu majority country even aat that time. A crow with feathers of peacock cannot be peacock. Even though he claims he is Chritian, he cannot be gtrue Chritian. There is a difference between growing up Christian since birth and adopt Christainity when you are adult. Many people he has relationsips with, are of Muslim background. I know these same Muslims would significantly buy influence when he becomes President. That’s the scary part I am very much concerned about. This is another road for this country to be another India with constant blackmailing by fundamentalist Muslims.

So tell me J, whats your GREAT idea to get Iran to give up their nukes?? Nothing?? Drop bombs, what?? I need to know. Because everytime I ask one of you guys this question you have NO answer..

EddyNewHope I agree with your idea, but I believe that the Clinton’s are already finished in politics. They only have books, and speeches left. May be State Fairs too. There will always be a few fans left. The Clinton’s are finished for good thanks to the worst campaign ever seen in modern times!

You can get your Obama puppet doll at Toys R US beginning June 3. They will be on special for the low price of $19.99

Why do Obama supporters keep trying to sell their product here when there aren’t any buyers? Why not sing his praises at huffpo where they’ve erected a temple to praise your Messiah.

Oracle,
Didn’t you just say they didn’t have nukes?

Oracle, you appear to be clueless about the economic and military might of the United States and Red China.
Many independent analysts put China’s annual military spending between $50 billion to $65 billion, including research and development.
In comparison, the U.S. defense budget for 2006 was about $420 billion.
See, e.g., http://www.cfr.org/publication/10824/scope_of_chinas_military_threat.html
China’s economy is about 1/5th of the United States.
See, e.g., http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/row/RS22808.pdf
Don’t take my word for it.
Go ahead and check it out for yourself.

Whether they do or not. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT THEM?? exactly, nothing. Just sit on your computer and criticize those who come up with ideas. Lol. Sounds like a russian to me.

So marine, answer this 1 question and you win. Why do we owe them trillions of dollars?? Why do THEY THREATEN TO CRASH OUR ECONOMY ON AN INTERNATIONAL STAGE and our Pres says nothing??

Lol. A, you seem to be the only one spewing hate sir.

Truth Be Told…
The country is already ruined, thanks to the Long Ranger “George W. Bush” and his Wild Wild West policy. Just continue letting GOM’s run the country, that’s Grump Old Men… We don’t need the same mess and expect different results.

Never Obama you say you support Clinton because you don’t want more corruption in the White House? Your kidding right? The Clinton’s have more corruption and scandals then even former President Nixon! Thank you for the funnest thing I will hear today! Good one! Clinton’s good clean honest Americans! LMAO!!!!

It’s certainly disparaging to compare a candidate’s determination to stay in a close race as a stage of grief or denial. However, it spite of Clintons political obituaries, voters keep turning out in record and large numbers and will probably continue to do so until the primaries are finished. Several times this month, she has called for her supporters to back Obama. I don’t call that denial, but being both gracious and determined to pave a Democratic victory for the country. You could also call that the politics of hope.
It appears Mr. Dowd is trying to define Clinton supporters by demographics. Voting is a choice that may be described, but not defined, by the demographics. I believe she has significant support among centrists, irrespective of socioeconomics and education.
Finally, I don’t think applying hospice philosophy to a presidential race shows respect to either.

Addressd to all of the women of this board who claim they’ll ‘vote for McCain if Hillary Clinton does not get the nomination’:
This means several things (most notably is that you’re inconsistent in your logic, your politics, and deceitful)- you’re supposedly voting for Hillary because of her stances on issues? But you’ll vote for Pro-life, pro-Iraq war McCain while saying you’re voting for Hillary because she’s for ‘women’s rights and wants to end the war’? Perhaps it’s the fog of war in this campaign, but I think those of you saying you’re going to vote for McCain so he can install pro-life judges on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe V Wade, extend the war in Iraq and increase troop levels there, and make Bush’s tax cuts to higher-income earners permanent are full of garbage. Good riddance to you. You’re deceitful, angry, bitter people frustrated that America simply doesn’t want Hillary Clinton to lead us. It’s not that she’s a woman- it’s that she’s a terrible candidate.

whoever wins this general election and becomes our president will not have an easy time of it. The economy is a major issue, the war needs to be resolved, healthcare…. lots of major problems.
The president, whoever it will be, will have many resources at his (or her) disposal to fully research and come up with an appropriate action/decision. That is why I’d rather vote for someone who is thoughtful, cautious (is that a knee-jerk reaction to the current), can instill hope in all Americans, and can speak across the aisles to reach all members of government.
Obama ’08

Okay J, I’ll give you that. But what is that?? Diplomacy right?? And you haven’t answered my question. Was Reagan wrong to talk to Gorbachev face to face??

Well, i know the media and press support Barrack Huesein Obama over Hilary Clinton,however if you count Florida and Michigan in Hilary clinton will lead the popular votes there is no doubt about that, and isnt it wonderfull how the African American community have forgotten all the work the Clintons have done for them over the years.

A…
Your obviously the peoples choice… You should check your logic!

I sure am glad that the Wright comments came out later and not sooner. If they would have come out sooner Obama would be losing the nomination. Now the Dems. can lose another one.
But then again, what do you expect from a party that is run by Dean, Reid and Pelosi!

I will vote for McCain if Hillary is not the nominee…why because the media and the Demacratic party is pushing the super delegates to just on the BHO bandwagon, and won’t allow them to make there own choice

Hey C Gamble. I think its even funnier that the whites who support Clinton now forget Bill only WON the Presidency in 92 because of blacks. The black Community owes the Clintons nothing. They put him in power. He won in 92 with 86% of the black vote, 68% of the latino vote, and guess how much of the white vote?? 39%. So called Reagan Dems have never been loyal to the Dems.

Fear card: he’ll overturn roe v wade, he’ll ensure that we stay in Iraq for 100 years(even though he’ll only be in office for 4), he’ll insist that gas be raised to $10 per gallon, he’ll club baby seals and kittens on the white house lawn.

Martin,,,
Reread and rewrite….we dearly want to understand…your view, cbviously.

Boy, you Hillary supporters sure are bitter! But as you watch the last, dying embers of her campaign, try to bear in mind that she started this campaign with more advantages than anyone ever has – and still managed to lose. And she managed to lose to a black man, whose middle name is Hussein, who has only been in the Senate for two year. That actually says more about Hillary’s weaknesses than Obama’s strengths.

You’re right texas voter. Lol. Silly us.

How can we win without the Hillary supporters? Oh we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. We’re too busy getting high on hope and change.

The Media gave HIllary the early advantage, calling her the front runner even before a primary was held, how can they do that, so don’t sit there and say she had the advantage, the MEDIA built her up, so the primaries are held and in the beginning, our preacher like speaker BHO enlightened and lifted people, but in the end they are coming to realize that all he is is a great talker and preacher that is why he has lost alot since then, and he will loose in the fall, so superdelegates step up and give hillary the node, besides its the democrates that put forth this policy and rules.

Oracle, do your really believe that China wants to ruin the U.S. Economy?
Why would it want to ruin its biggest trading partner– especially when it benefits economically from doing so?
Communist China is growing, because it embraced capitalism.
However, Obama is a neo-socialist, who believes in the redistribution of wealth through taxation.
This is why Obama sponsored the Global Poverty Act, which will send $845 billion dollars to Africa and third world nations.
It is also why Obama pledged to create and federally fund 20 “promise” neighborhoods in inner-city, African-American communities.
Obama wants to lead America into decline, by making it equal with lesser nations.
Why? Because this is what socialism is all about; that is, not to have any super powers, but for all people and nations to be equals.
To lesser nations, this sounds desirable, but to Americans, it means the end of U.S. global supremecy.

Mack – and yet you believe your candidate can still win?!
Pass the douchie pon the left hand side indeed!

mack: This is how, we’ll just hope that some(because not all of her supporters are childish)HRC voters will be smart enough to not cut off their noses to spite their face by voting against their best interests. We’ll hope that they will see that voting for McCain or against Obama out of spite will do more than any pundit, or candidate ever could to prove they are “uneducated voters”……..How’s that sound??

J,
Don’t fool yourself, many men are against her because of her gender. Many women are inherently jealous of a woman..if they dress to nice, if they are proud, if they are more successful than they are.
Gender bias is very prevalent in this choice for a democratic nominee. But do not kid your self Hillary is the better candidate. Just as John Kerry was the better candidate to George Bush.
I am sorry to burst the bubble . Today’s commentary by the Host is about HOPE promised by Obama, but just a few weeks ago it was “change”.
By the general elections it will be “shake rattle and roll” . Or any phrase to sell the story and the gimmick, called Barack Obama.

Soldier,
Take a look right here on ABC’s web site. IT shows the votes with and without MI and FL.It’s no blow out for Obama. Half the voters DO want her. Take a look at the electoral maps she is doing much better than Obama.

Barack will run on the vision of hope and
McCain will be the fearmonger!!

Jeff – I agree with you on Sebelius. Remember also that she was the Insurance Commissioner in Kansas, and would greatly bolster his healthcare plank, a MAJOR issue in the Fall campaign.

TexasVoter – I didn’t know Sebelius was also the insurance commissioner. She’s smart, elegant, moderate, and non threatening. I think she’d be an excellent choice for VP.

I know how people think and yet find myself constantly amazed as the level of stupidity and ignorance repeatedly expressed.
People proclaim they are a democrat and do not want another GWB in the White House yet in the same breath state the stupidest thing possible — if my choice is McCain or Obama, I’ll vote for McCain.
Do you people actually have working brains? Or is it what I fear the most, because someone didn’t tell you what to do or think you just fire off with anything? McCain is another Bush — he as supported his policies since forever. He’s another rich white OLD man who isn’t your peer, isn’t your representative and is looking out for himself. He, like almost every other president that preceeded him hasn’t a clue about how real people (the majority) actually live.
By the time the national election rolls around you are not voting for the person you are voting for the party. Consequently, if you are a democrat and want the democractic party in office you do not pop off and vote for the republic.
Geeze I wish the stupid gene would kill off the shallow end of the gene pool and quickly.

to Mary–you said: The main reason is that more people preferred the other candidate. That isnt necessarily true if you know anything about politics. Remember the 2000 election? The only way to really make that happen is to get rid of the electoral college completely which, in my opinion, is so archaic it is a joke. The reason it was begun in the first place was that the people were so spread out representatives had to travel and vote for them–BASED ON THE POPULAS VOTE, REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT WAS. That original intent is so far from what we have now, it’s impossible to even relate the two.

USmarine0331,
The age of America being the only remaining Super Power has diminished. Our military is capable of defeating any foreign enemy but with great military might comes responsibility. This Administration has abused our military, misused our economic resources and discredited this nation’s reputation throughout the world. Our next President will have to restore and repair the damage created in 8 years, thanks to George W. Bush…
US Navy (Ret)

There will be only one stage of grief. Vote for McCain.

Hope, change and higher taxes is not going to fix the economy.

Whoa! Why not have an article on the losing of temper and all of the grimaced faces of Obama? Ths guy is a big phoney, a duper and more importantly, a conspirator against America. Hillary supporters unite! It is not lost, have FAITH!

Oracle, China does not want to ruin the U.S. Economy for one simple reason; that is, it is China’s best interests to keep things just as they are.
You may think that China is a super power, but it’s economy is less than 1/6th the size of the U.S. economy, and its military spending is 1/5th of the U.S.

Yes, McCain doesn’t understand the struggles of real people. Most real people haven’t been POW’s.

formerHillary,
Where did I say she was the overwhelming winner in these states. I was talking about votes. They are virtually tied. Obama hasn’t had the blowout some people are claiming he does.

Of course Obama CAN loose and so can Hillary. Look at the shambles her campaign has been. For someone with all this political experience she blew it..Sure she can talk the DNC into nominating her,but are we sure SHE will win..? NOPE..as we know from Gore…anything can happen.

It is not Hillary Clinton who lost this campaign. To be sure, she did make mistakes, but shall we list all of Obama’s mistakes? The point is, the media (the same media that sold us on George W.) launched a relentless campaign against Hillary, where she could not make a single mistake, while his opponent was given free reign. Remember Obama’s plagiarism “Just words”? What about Obama’s sexist remarks (“sweetie,” “Periodically Sen. Clinton feels down and then she needs to attack in order to like herself”, Obama’s comments about the jacket Hillary wore, to say nothing about criticizing Hillary for having worked as a corporate lawyer for Wallmart, without saying that Michelle Obama retired from a job at one of Wallmart’s main suppliers when Obama decided to run for the presidency, because, said NYT, it was understood that he would criticize Wallmart…)? What about Obama’s voting record (FOR the credit card companies)? What about Obama saying one thing and voting the opposite at the Illinois Legislature? (Five times he did do that with an “Oops! Sorry, I pressed the wrong button by mistake…”) What about Obama saying that he did not know that Rev. Wright said what he said? (For the record, he knew: this is why he would not have Rev. Wright speak publicly when he launched his candidacy.) The record of Obama’s missteps is lengthy, and it is only paralleled by the media chorus singing his praises. Ugh—I’ll be voting for Ralph Nader, I guess. And I do agree with the Sen. Edwards of two months ago, when he said that Obama was both incompetent and hypocritical.

J….let’s get real here. Obama came into this race as the underdog. He was the first term Senator who didn’t have a snowball in H$#@ll chance of winning. Now everyone is saying,”poor Hillary, she has been wronged!!” Give me a break!! She is the senior politician, not Obama. She should have stomp on him like a fly…What happened? I don’t know, and I don’t care.

Also marine, it is projected that in a few yrs China will need around 65% of the WORLDS oil output.

USmarine0331 – You’re right, they weren’t his pastors.
However, he DID actively seek their endorsement. How is that not worse?

I believe Oracle is a plant. Emailing to cause division within the Democrat party. I refuse to believe this IDIOT is a Clinton supporter. Most of what he is spewing is racism and just plain IGNORANCE. Are you a JIM CROW republican?

Rush Limbaugh has actively started his national radio campaign to ‘convince’ all scorned Hillary supporting women to punish the ‘sexist’ Obama by having them vote for McCain in the national election. Women are so angry and irrational right now- I say that Rush’s new brainwashing movement will work. He’s just loving all this mischief.

Andy – Hillary is a lost cause. Further, adding her to the ticket would only be dead weight to Obama’s campaign. As evidence, Hillary started this campaign with every possible advantage and still she lost. And that loss wasn’t because of biased media, male sexism, Obama dirty tricks, or her husband’s big mouth. Simply put, Hillary doesn’t appeal to the majority of voters. And she never will. Hillary supporters need to wake up and deal with that reality.

Lol. You’re right meme. I’m a Obama supporter.

Martin, the only thing that has diminished is America’s will.
America still has the greatest military and economy in the world.
No other nation is close.
America can remain the world’s only super power with the right leadership.
However, Obama is like Jimmy Carter.
Both think that they are so smart, that they can negotiate with America’s enemies to get them to do what they want.
Jimmy Carter was humiliated by Iran.
Obama should not be given the opportunity to be similarly humiliated.

formerHillary,
I know more about blacks than you think I do…lol. You know nothing about me. The only disgusting thing I see here is people like you and your one sided view of things. Hillary and Bill have done quite a bit for the black community over the years. But none of that means anything now that we have a black candidate who is half white running.
Obama has played the race card, maybe not directly but he has. His subordinates do his dirty work for him then he turns around and acts like he is above the fray.
Whatever,he won’t win the GE anyway.

Obama: No way, no how. It is unAmerican.

HRC supports are just venting on Obama because their little “sugar girl” lost! They would vent and make up B.S. on anyone who was beating HRC. It just happens to be Obama. HRC folks are just delusional and pissed off about the LOSS, they just won’t get OVER It!!! Face the facts and be mature about it and MOVE ON!

J – How has Obama played the race card? I challenge you to point to one example where he has used the issue of race to beat down his opponents. On the other hand, Hillary has done just that, blatantly, and with some success. But she’s dragged her campaign completely into the gutter as a result. Her supporters call her ‘pugnacious’ for doing so. But the rest of us view it as being unprincipled.

Propaganda, plain and simple. Seven steps of grief. Good Grief! Matthew Dowd, this is garbage, you are psychoanalyzing Hillary. You are just trying to discourage people from voting.
Let the people vote for God’s sake! No wonder Bill Clinton told you all off.
Wake up America and asks yourselves if it’s over, why isn’t it over? Obama is still running isn’t he?

The popular vote supports Hillary and choosing Obama to represent the Democratic party is a collective suicide on the part of the party. It’s just like the whole party choosing to jump of a cliff because they are too scared to do what is right.
The so-called blue-color uneducated voters who do not support Obama are smarter than the elite. They realize that Obama does not represent their values and that his choices on all counts (friends and policy) are not tenable and are detrimental to the interests of the US.
If Obama is, indeed, selected to represent the Democratic party, I (together with over 50% of Hillary’s supporters) will be voting McCain. This will guarantee that the Republicans will stay in office for another 4 years (or more), which I consider a better outcome than having Obama at the helm.
And by the way, contrary to stereotype, I am not uneducated, a low earner or old…I am a forty year old female with a PhD and nice income.

Psst. John. It’s over.

US marine said:
Obama spent 20 years listening to Jeremiah Wright’s anti-American and racist sermons.
*******
WHO in the world said REv Wright said racist things for 20 years?? No one! You are taking a 35 second sound bite from a career of 35 years.

Barr: yes
Clinton: yes
Paul: yes
McCain: yes
Nader: yes
Soetoro: no

Linda, you can do what you want. However, since Obama and Hillary have VERY SIMILAR stands on the ISSUES, you can not state that one has more of a pull with the uneducated blue collar workers. They both will do the exact same things once in office.

Just because a person is white, does not mean they do not understand the black community. There are some of us that are not close minded and do educate ourselves on different cultures and ethnicities.

Jeff, to be fair, Hagee is not McCain’s pastor.
He did, however, actively seek his endorsement, something that is much, MUCH worse.

Isn’t is wonderful that we have the freedom of speech? Everyone has their own opinion and the right to speak it. The only thing that bothers me is the Obama says he is African-American (black) but yet he is not. He is of mixed race…white mother…black father…but he denies his white heritage. That should speak for itself right there. Why does he disclaim his mothers heritage and not his father? Because she dumped him on his white grandparents to raise? But his father dumped him too! I’m sorry…I cannot vote for a person that denies their heritage like he does. Plus, was he born in Africa? Just because his father was Kenyan does not make him Kenyan. It makes him of Kenyan heritage. No more, no less.

Lecky, you are right. I heard Rush on his radio show LAUGHING about us Democrats and saying his “Operation Chaos” is a success and that his listeners should keep on being good soldiers and doing what they can to help divide the Democrats. I would imagine LOTS of the postings on the ABC sites are from Rush “soldiers” on the “battlefield” of shaping public opinion.

Obama = hateful
hateful = Obama
Obama = nonsense
nonsense = Obama

Funny how you moronic Clinton supporters did not care about Florida and Michigan until it allowed you to ‘win’ the popular vote. Obama was not even on the ballot in Michigan! You honestly think it is fair to say Hillary won a state where she was the only major Dem on the ballot?! You guys are pathetic. I now see what the right has been saying about the Clinton ‘family’ for so long. They already shamed the White House once, NEVER AGAIN! Get your heads out of the sand and out of your @$$. It’s over. Obama will be the nominee.

Limbaugh’s soldiers tend to be soft-headed, as exemplified by the fact that they would march out to do the bidding of a loony, raging drug addict.

Now I’m confused. I’m in michigan. We knew what the rules were. We decided to jump the gun (though I agree that Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn’t be first) and now we’re paying for it. WE voters did nothing wrong, it was the planners of MI and FL that moved our primaries. I do agree that we should have some form of punishment (IE Strip us of half our delegates), but I’d say All is too much. I’d agree with MR Obama on one aspect of the MI/FL debacle, the rules stated we weren’t going to be counted back then, so why would anyone come here in the primaries? Let’s change the rules for next time and take our lumps now and vote again in the general election.

Can someone please get Soetoro his Prozac? He’s like the slow kid at a family reunion that keeps piping up stuff that has nothing to do with the conversation.

Obama is arrogant, indifferent and Islamic.

No Jeff,
But it is over, you don’t the semi -final and get the Gold medal. You see, the democratic nomimee has to be good enough to whup McLame behind…amongst skeptical voters. ( and they are a big group.)
If its over, then that ‘s not good for the progress of this nation…My man.

You say that J, and you probably in the same breath would say that Obama believes everything Jeremiah Wright said. So that would be proof you DON’T know us as much as you would love to tell yourself that.

Andy – You also don’t score 4 runs in the bottom of the 9th inning in a game you’re losing 20-4 and win.

Obama for president
Sinclair for vice-president
Lovers both.

Hope Vs Fear
Act I Scene I
‘Fear’: We wont vote Obama we will sabotage the Dem ticket by voting for McCain if Obama is nominated.
‘Hope’: lets all come together and unify as a party. There will always be losers and winners in any race.
‘Fear’: Your candidate is inexperienced, he may be assasinated, he doesnt relate well with white voters, he offers nothing but speeches, he is naive, he wants to negotiate with the terrorists, we will storm the DNC we want this taken all the way to the convention as you have robbed our nominee of a clear victory.
‘Hope’: We must reach a compromise on the disputed MI and FL delagates; however irrational it may sound-Its for the good of party unity and our democracy as a whole.
‘Fear’:Our nominee has lost the race because of sexist sentiments; the media is to blame; no, the Obama campaign, and his surrogates, no actually its the pro obama bloggers. We’d rather vote for McCain a conservative, we dont care! Barrack is a muslim anyway, oh no he attended some church for 20 years, guess that makes him a Chrislim/Mustian.
‘Hope’: We have won more primaries, more caucases (by far) and more delegates. Perverting the popular votee count does not help anyone but tear the party down. We have energized millions of young and first time voters (this writer included).
‘Fear’: We dont care; We demand that Hillary be offered at least the VP slot or else….
Fear will keep fighting till it punches itself in the face -TS Writer

Oracle,
I have been to black churches, and yes more than once and no they aren’t all as radical as this one. It is his right to go to whatever church he likes. I personally could care less what Obama does.

which vilifies America as a racist nation that oppresses African-Americans.
********
And you actually BELIEVE that’s not true?
I am a white middle aged woman and even I can say that.
After watching all this for the last 15 months, can you HONESTLY say racism is DEAD in America??? You, personally have shown how alive and well it is.
You have the NERVE to complain about Michelle Obama’s comments that America can be mean. Then BE MEAN!!
You have proven their points over and over and over and over, yet still vilify it!
Take a good look at yourself. Maybe you are angry because they hit too close to home!!

Check out how Obama describes his views:
From Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”
From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”
From Dreams of My Father: “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
Of course, Obama will now say whatever he thinks will get him elected, but now you know how he really feels about white Americans and Muslims.

Obama is for changing direction yet he is obviously lost.

Texan Voter,
Not every game has the rules governing end of play. In Cricket, one shot can give you 6 runs, if you are down by 5.
However, winning the democratic nomination is the easy part,ask John Kerry.
Hillary’s Campaign was not created only to win the semi final..but the Final. That’s why she won so many primaries. And Obama won the jacked up caususes with college kids from out of state showing their hands.
So Obama has to win the final that he is not ready to compete in.
Whereas Hillary was careful to “kill two birds with one campaign”…

US marine you are a buffoon; true of Hillary’s supporters, you are taking out extracts from someone’s autobiography as if you are sherlock homes. This fear campaign manifests itself through such nitwits; but youre all just proving how much of sore losers you all are. Small Obama outsmarted all of you! Deal with it.

Oracle – Obviously the trichtophen and prozac haven’t taken hold yet.

You seem to be a level headed man then, J.
Posted by: The Oracle———-
Too bad I am a woman :)

Andy – You’re now taking issue with my baseball analogy and saying it should be Cricket??!!!
AAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama: “I never had sex with that man”.

Is it just me or does anyone out there think Chelsea looks like a rabbit.

Don’t worry texan, someone will wheel him/her away in a straight jacket soon

Mickey Mouse,
It’s just you. I think she is an attractive young lady.

Yep this is propaganda of hate. Another FOX pundit is on record for saying Obama should be assasinated: Lisa Trotta said this over the weekend. Pure hate. Thats what these people are all about. We dont need their votes. Fear and Hate, like good ol’ ‘Waste Virginians’..

C Good, you sound just like a Rush dittohead, a Limbaugh person. Maybe Rush is right about women, and how they will react. Rush supported Hillary’s bid to the very end. Heaven help us, let the Rush gloating begin.

i wonder if obama has his muslin pin on!!!!!!!

Being muslim isn’t a bad thing. Anti-muslim sentiment is just another form of racism.

usmarine,
When was the time you were REALLY proud of this country?
And don’t give me any 4th grade, 4th of July, flag waving “because I’m Free” rally speech.
Be specific.
Give me an event that our Country came together and made you REALLY proud to be American.
It can involve killing anybody.
A foreign policy that made you REALLY proud of your Government?
Because it’s been a REALLY, REALLY long time since I’ve been REALLY proud of MY country.

Muslim is just a religion. Not different than being Catholic or Hindu or Buddist.
There are fanatics in every religion. Spanish Inquistion, anyone?
It seems that this “Muslim Fear” today is like the “Jewish Fear” in early America. It’s really sad. The Muslim religion consider Jesus to be a great and important Apostle.

Jeff, America is trying to develop alternative energy through bio-fuels, coal gasification, nuclear power, wind turbines, solar power, hydrogen energy, and other energy sources.
However, the truth is these alternative energy sources only help reduce our oil dependence by a small fraction.
Also, bio-fuel production has triggered inflated prices of food items, both in the U.S. and abroad.
The Middle East has 55 percent of the world’s oil reserves and 32 percent of its natural gas reserves.
America’s national economy is dependent on oil, and 2/3rd of all oil that is consumed in the U.S. is imported.
If Iran gains control of the Middle East, radical Muslim fundamentalists can cause the economic collapse of America by imposing another Arab Oil Embargo whenever they choose to do so.

Jmc663, I’ve been proud of America all of my life.
But if you want a date, where all Americans were justifiably proud of our country, try July 20, 1969.

USmarine0331 – with a dwindling supply, the price of oil will only keep going up. It doesn’t matter what Iran does or does not do. It’s simple economics.

You may wonder why these people are on a hate diarrhoea. Just get your absentee ballots in as American Patriot put it.

Texas Voter, the issue is not whether America can keep the price of oil from rising, but whether it can guarantee its access to Middle Eastern Oil.
Are you trying to argue that America should let Iran take control of the Middle East?

TexanVoter,
Where in that piece did it suggest , taking issue with one of my fav. sports?
I simply said..slowly now ..that there aare many game ending scenarios besides..the one you gave for baseball.
Now exhale…that’s all it said.
Depending on how much I am down by , and depending on the game… I may still have a chance… to win…yup..that was it. capice..comprende…do you get it now?? A little difficult ..eh? Cricket is just another ‘bat and ball’ game.

USmarine0331 – Not at all. The region is vital to our national interests. I merely point out that Energy concerns will begin to press upon the economy acutely and will not ease regardless of who is in control of the region. Again, oil is a dwindling resource. That is a fact. That is why America should step up efforts to find alternative fuel sources.

And we will deal with the smart Obama by voting for Mr. McCain.

I feel a bit for Hillary, because in a way my sense is that the people around her are as emotionally connected as she is to this campaign. Obviously epecially her husband, but her advisors as well seem to have an unusually large amount of commitment to what is increasingly becoming the dream. But I think she must realise that in all but name this campaign is over. Even with the Florida and Michigan delegations factored in, as voted for, I think I am right in saying that Clinton would still trail Obama by 100 delegates or so. Superdelegates are not going to over turn the will of the voters, as expressed by the elected delegates, however Hillary wants to argue the popular vote (Which given the complicated rules of the primaries and caucuses seems to me to be a fairly meaningless measure). In my view she would be better going back to the Senate and becoming the ‘Lioness of the Senate’ now that the curtain seems to be dropping on Ted Kennedy’s career.

USmarine,
Sorry, you must be a little older than me, LOL! I was born in 1963. Michelle Obama said specifically in her ADULT life and that is what I am refering.
There has not been a lot to be REALLY proud of in the last 20+ years.
When the U.S. Hockey Team beat the Russians in the Olympics was pretty cool and I was REALLY proud of the team.
But this country can be mean. We are mean to anyone who doesn’t look like us, or talk like us. WE can be very loving and open, but we can also be very mean and fearful.
It’s an ugly truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.

2+2, Andy. Sound it out with your fingers if you need to.

It is time for sen. Clinton to follow the footstep of sen. Liebermann to continue the presidential race as an independent.
According to the latest best educated prediction by electoral-vote.com, sen. Clinton can beat McCain better than Obama in the general election, i.e. 327 to 194 if Clinton vs. McCain, and 266 to 246 if Obama vs. McCain
In particular, sen. Clinton is superior in the following key states:
Clinton vs. McCain Obama vs. McCain
_______________ _______________
Florida 47 / 41 40 / 50
Penn. 50 / 39 45 / 43
W. Va 47 /42 35 / 53

austin – She’s dead politically after the RFK comment. Dead in the water.
Your numbers mean nothing.

Dear Hillary Supporters;
I’m familiar with some of you and those of you that I may have not had the priviledge to meet; It was a pleasure. We did great; we ran against a campaign that outraised us for 6 months straight and spent more; yet we came out with key victories. They branded themselves as the underdogs but indeed had a foot in ahead in most of the races. We tried to connect with the people and reach out to all demographics. In the end we still did not do well enough.
The past weekend has dawned a new reality for me. That dragging this on will cause us more hamr than good. And I respectfuly throw in the towel. I will vote whoever the democratic nominee will be; still hoping that it may be Hillary. But most of all we have made history, and we had a good run-lets not ruin this as it will go down in history as the most competitive of all primaries-Its as though we were actually running for presidency not the nomination.
Thank you all.

Texanvoter,
I am ashamed to see you are susceptible to misinformation. Comprehension is critical to reading and understanding.
Explanation is important in helping to gain another level of understanding.
You heard the twisted version of the misinformation, as to the RFK reference.
If you did not understand the explanation, say so. But do not in desperation try to use it as if there was NO satisfactory explanation and clarification of the statemant. Be civil at all times.

McSame, excuse me McCain has already given us his outlook on the economic picture of America after four years in office.
Iraq and Afghanistan policing will continue at our cost of Billions of dollars and over additional four year period the cost would be Trillions. He like Bush will tell you the economy is strong as they fail to see or truly understand our pain of a faltering economy.
Ask him why he is willing to vote against the GI bill, yet continue to send our young men and women to WAR what is that all about. Our service men and women are asked to do the biggest of jobs for the least financial awards. But to give them better education is too much McCain I missed the reason behind that.
If you want to continue in this direction you know what to do.
If you want a new direction and we must turn this nation around we must together give the Democrats the opportunity to right the ship

USmarine
we have separation of Church and State. I don’t know exactly how all this crap got started in the first place. I don’t not care about Rev. Wright or Hagee, etc. I care about the ideals. HRC and Obama are 98% of them. Period.

Jmc663, the problem with Jeremiah-gate has nothing to do with the separation of Church and State, but rather by the reasonable conclusion that Obama shares the radical views of Jeremiah Wright.
It also shows Obama’s poor judgment.
It took Obama more than 20 years to figure out that Jeremiah Wright’s comments were too outrageous for Mainstream Americans to accept.
It took most Mainstream Americans about 30 seconds to reach the same conclusion.

Obama has shown by his campaign alone that he is vastly more qualified to be President. He has stayed on the high road and still stands tall. After all of the dirt and mud the Clintons have thrown you’d think they would have taken him down. And where is Hillary today? Still pandering to the folks in the remaining states and playing to their fears. She’s 20 million in debt, still spinning lies to make herself seem viable and blaming everyone but herself for her situation. Not the kind of person I want running the country.

Barack: These are (27) Clinton Associated, Afilliated and-or Closely Related Clinton Cases, that should Not be overlooked nor Ignored.
David Gergen appearing on CNN, said Several Weeks ago, “That You had better Hire an Official Food Taster” Those are Words to Live by, but then again, Why go through the Rigors, by having Her, as your Running Mate.
1. James McDougal – Clinton ‘s convicted Whitewater partner died of an apparent heart attack, while in solitary confinement. He was a key witness in Ken Starr’s investigation.

3- Vince Foster – Former White House counselor and colleague of Hillary Clinton at Little Rock ‘s Rose Law firm. Died of a gunshot wound to the head, ruled a suicide.
4- Ron Brown – Secretary of Commerce and former DNC Chairman. Reported to have died by impact in a plane crash. A pathologist close to the investigation reported that there was a hole in the top of Brown’s skull resembling a gunshot wound. At the time of his death Brown was being investigated, and spoke publicly of his willingness to cut a deal with prosecutors. The rest of the people on the plane also died. A few days later the air Traffic controller committed suicide.
5- C. Victor Raiser II- Raiser, a major player in the Clinton fund raising organization died in a private plane crash in July 1992

This is a reporter who openly advocates for Obama. I don’t trust one word you are talking out of your mouth. Will never vote for Obama, and six of my friends will not either!

Amy-
I wish people would have used your logic in the last 2 elections, and not voted at all… maybe we wouldn’t be in the dire(yes,dire) circumstances that we now find ourselves in….
And looks like you need a hug, you only have 6 friends?….. Did the wine & cheese club not meet last month, gas too high?……..

Oracle:
A woman is not a fool. Do you think they will support a woman who opposed Hillary in support of Obama.
Do you think women will accept second best. A woman will not support another woman , while Hillary has been disrespected and discarded together with her strong record and popularity throughtout America and its territories.
So don’t humor me with some woman and say she is as good , vote for she , since it is a woman you want.
Utter disrespect!!

1. I concede Obama won the democratic nomination.
2. That doesn’t mean I have to vote for him in the GE.
3. I also don’t like voting for McCain.
4. What are my choices?
Again we are stuck with voting for the candidate that will hurt us the least. So with that thought, it is about time this country start thinking about a third party.
How long are we going to be fed our politicians by the media and the party system? Now more than any other time, it is time to think seriously about the Independent party for all of you that feel taken in by the current political system.
By having three presidential candidates, this makes the other two more honest. There are many other countries that have more than two political parties, why can’t we?
You can start the ball rolling by going down to your county election board and registering INDEPENDENT.

I regret that some people are upset that Hilary is not winning. I was for her at first, but after listening to her speeches later on, I changed my mind. She is too emotional and say things without thinking it out first. These are characteristic our President should not have. I vote for Obama

This is a fantastic article, speaks to the core.
I also think it is becoming more and more obvious to the masses that Hillary Clinton has become emotionally unraveled. She is just like one of those games where if you touch the wrong stick or piece, it all comes crumbling down. That’s going to happen any minute or day now. I think the woman needs some rest in a nice, safe, relaxing enviornment. Perhaps then she can start to pick up the pieces of the self-imposed monster she has created for herself and move on to become a sane person. (If that’s possible at this stage). Earth to Senator Clinton: Take a deep breath…

Dear Hillary supporter why not you give some money for her campaign than posting untruthful comments here. She need you money and she is capable of lying on behalf on all of you.

BO is silver-tongued, I give him that, but let’s ask what he offers the American people? More and higher taxes, elimination of the middle class entirely? Lack of crucial experience on so many levels?
John McCain DOES NOT stand for four more years of “W.” That’s just liberal rhetoric. McCain’s record has proven that he is his own person. He gets my vote and the vote of many others who have looked long and deep into the abyss.

I just bought a “Hillary Nutcracker.” It’s great, and it was 50% off. Wonder why!

When the republicans open their big Obama bag and spill out what they really have on him America will be shocked and we will have 4 more years of BUSH. The republicans want obama because they can beat him no doubt about that just wait and see. You are all fooling youselves. And it will have nothing to do with Hillary, racism or sexism. Just wait and see. How can you all be so blind as to what the republicans are doing. How sad that they are truely going to make donkeys out of us in November. So go make your anti-Hillary speach but sadly you will see one day that she was our only hope and I am disappointed that you in the media are so anxious to write her off. Are you sure you are not republicans?

I have been through the stages of grief as far as Hillary’s campaign is concerned.
My acceptance is a vote for McCain.

Hillary cares about the people, Hillary cares about FL and MI, Hillary cares about the country….
Do you remember who else Hillary used to care about?
Remember socks the Clintons cat?
Funny when they no longer needed that poor cat to “soften” her image with the american people, when they were no longer in the public eye.
They gave that cat away!!!
I wonder if when Hillary doesnt need you anymore, will she still care about you?
When she doesnt need FL and MI anymore, will she still care about them?

yeslfan: Whom are you talking about that worked for the Clinton’s and died. There are a few working for the Obama camp at this time and Richardson is still alive. You have to name them in your comments.

i worked in a legislative office across from McCain’soffice on the hill when he was just a congressman and he had a reputation as just a hothead…you could hear his screaming all the way down the hall. i don’t want such a hot-tempered person to be my president.

orange cat: And that’s just about what Obama is going to see after he loses the election. McCain will definately beat him because Obama will not win the battleground states like Hillary due to the fact many voters will switch to McCain. I know he will not win WVA or KY because they vote for their own race. And Obama might not even get the Latino vote. This campaign has been nothing but a mess since he became a candidate. And this generation of college students that are 52% on drugs are the ones voting for him and I believe its because Obama was a drug addict boozer himself in his days at college. I wouldn’t doubt he is a closet drinker along with his smoking.

Lisa Again: I think you need to come back to earth and that’s just about what Obama will be doing when he loses the election. Hillary should declare herself an independent and that would take thousands of votes away from him so he would lose the election. Hillary probably will not do that because she is not the type like me. She shouldn’t care about splitting the democrat party because they didn’t care about her. Or since she was a republican when she was younger and became a democrat after marrying Bill Clinton she could be the VP for McCain and take back all the battleground states.

Earl: Mary should get a copy of Obama’s bio from the NYT and get her facts straight. Obama’s mother was married and divorced thee times, his father was married and divorced four times. He has several half brothers and sisters somewhere in Kenya. He was with his father in Kenya then his father left, Obama was raised also by his stepfather in Indonesia. His mother died at age 53 and her mother raised him from then on. He was not homeless and his mother was never on welfare. He went to good schools. His grandmother supported him how do you think he went to Harvard? Obama doesn’t care about the poor. Obama likes mingling with the wealthy. He likes the black votes but didn’t want to go into Philadelphia or the far southside of Chicago. He’s too busy speaking RFK’s speeches to the public although the public is so dumb their not aware that he didn’t word those speeches he copied them.

How sad that Clinton supporters are still fighting and pouting like children because they didn’t get the prefered candidate. They taunt and threaten to vote for McCain. Four more years of Bush’s failed policies
As we Americans blog on the media networks about our opinion on both Democratic Candidates….Bush and McCain attend a private fundraiser. Yes, the GOP is planning the demise of the Dems party.
Obama is the only candidate who has shown that his cares about the American people that matters. The American’s that hope for the American dream to come true and have fair taxes, healthcare, quality education, clean air, alternative fuels. Look at our economy… Bush’s plan for the stimulus checks has backfired the seniors citizens are still waiting, housing crisis is a wreck and Bush has not offered to help anyone save their homes and McCain follows right behind him.
So Clinton supporters you rather vote for a McCain (because he’s white) with same failed policies that doesn’t care about you or any other American rather than serve his on conquest for military power, and more riches. He scares me and my kids. If He goes into
white house, I never forgive the Clintons or the Clinton supporters ever. Our Nation will go into another war, you can count on that with McCain in office. I have two son’s in the Iraq…if they are killed I will blame the Clinton supporters because they were selfish and voted for McCain. McCain said 100 years of war. My son’s is all I have left in the wicked world we live in. The Clinton supporters want to take them away from me.
Clinton and Obama share the same values for America and yet Clinton supporters would throw it all away because they don’t like Obama because he’s black. No wonder the gap between the ages, and education differs. Clinton supporters just don’t know any better. It breaks the heart.

Hope..blah..blah…change!..blah..blah
he won’t win.

My extended family of 19 small town bitter gun toting church going disenfranchized Floridian Reagan Democrats will she our neutrality and register as Republicans to vote for JM if the sexist elitist Obam/ Democratic Leadership and the liberal media shut out HRC as they have done so for the past few months. Roland Martin, the CMM reporter said when Wright came back and told on live TV, the people will believe and go the way they project/spin the Wright story and the Wright story will never take hold. Consider the Wright story to the Bosnia flap when CNN came out in full force together with MSNBC. Down with the media, down with the Democratic party and down with Obama. They are elitist sexist and simply out of touch. Pelosi is one nasty mean woman who simply wants to be the Grand Dame in the Democratic Party. It is time to boot the Democratic party out for good and find an alternative centrist party. Over to you Bllomberg and Dobbs. My family will vote for JM BECAUSE WE WILL NOT SEE BO IN OUR WHITE HOUSE.

Hillary is not the only one who is in a state of denial – I see a number of posts here who are still in Anger and Sadness. At least Hillary has moved on to Bargaining. Or maybe it’s just that a little cheese is needed to go with all of the whine.

This country is ready for a woman president. I would vote a woman for president but not Hillary. She is very smart, calculated, arrogant and an extremely good politician. How can you vote for someone who is either too stupid to know your spouse has been cheating on you numerous times or too calculated to put up with it because he can advance your career? Is this the role model you want for your daughter or granddaughter?

ALL I’M READING IS WHO LIED ABOUT THIS AND THAT.WHY DON’T SOMEONE COUNT THE LIES ON HILLARY AND OBAMA TO SEE WHO LIES MORE.THEN MAYBE THE PEOPLE CAN DECIDE WHO THE BEST LIAR IS FOR PRESIDENT.THEN EVERYONE CAN STOP SAYING HILLARY LIED ABOUT THIS AND OBAMA LIED ABOUT THAT.JUST COUNT THE LIES.

What is Obama going to do after this AUSCHWITZ sniper fire?
Will he abandon his greatp uncle as moch he did of his black community and hispastor?

To all those who support Hillary and claim, as she does, that she has won the popular vote via the most populated states.
The states with the most voters should not determine presidential nominations nor elections: ALL of the states should!
For those of you who believe Hillary is the best candidate recall the following: in 1993 she bullied her husband into giving her the task of getting health care for americans.
She was a dismal FAILURE and completing this task and has done NOTHING since being elected to the senate in 2000.
It is time for her to return to Arkansas and remain out of politics FOREVER.

Hillary won Kentucky and West Virginia by a landslide in spite of overspending in ads 3 to 1 by Obama against Hillary. Same thing that happened in Indiana and Pennsylvannia. Obama is expected to win both Indiana and North Carolina since February. But, Hillary won Indiana and cut Obama’s lead in North Carolina from 20% in February down to 14% in spite of ad overspending by Obama.
Wake up media people or wake up superdelegates. Hillary even won consecutively in Ohio, Texas (Obama lost even he was endorsed by the Traitor Bill Richardson), and Pennsylvannia. Not to mention the other big states such as California (Obama lost in California even though Oprah, Maria Shriver, and Katherine Kennedy endorsed him), Massachusetts (Obama lost Massachusetts even though Kennedy and John Kerry endorsed him), Arkansas, New Hampshire, New Jersey and Florida (both of them are in the ballot) that are crucial in November. Hillary has the most electoral college votes based in these big states.
If you want a Democrat to win then Hillary should be the choice. HILLARY WON THE BIG STATES AND THE SWING STATES. If Hilalry is not the nominee, we will vote for McCain. African Americans are so unfair voting 9 to1 against Hillary not like the white people who fair and thinks who is the best candidate. Who is being racial now? This racial thing about Black has been OVERUSED, MISUSED and ABUSED by these people. Obama, the Obama camp, Clyburn, Wright and others can not fool us anymore. Stop this non-sense.
Wake up superdelegates! Wake up media people.

ALFREDO
You are what happens when government programs give West Virginians computer access.

c. gamble:
Are you serious? I may be an African American, but you must’ve missed the “American” at the end. I dont owe the Clintons for anything they’ve done for the black community. They were supposed to. We’re Americans too!
Obama represents and SPEAKS ON all thats wrong with this country and all of the Americans who live in a world disassociated with the rest of the world. I love being an American, but the rest of the world hates Americans. Ever ask yourself why?

Leaneitherway said: The only thing that bothers me is the Obama says he is African-American (black) but yet he is not.

What is Obama going to do after this AUSCHWITZ sniper fire?

We’ll save the sniper fire for Hillary. After all, she has the “experience.”

Obama 08

Dowd’s article is typical of media generalizing and spinning personal views. Example: Hillary looks tired to me (what’s the relevance to the rest of us here? Her schedule has been intense. Is hard work a negative? Why should someone who has received the number of votes she has be portrayed as pathetic or unwilling to leave the stage. Her support is nothing like other primary contenders who have chosen to withdraw. One of the reasons I support her is because of the hope her candidacy represents as a seasoned, intelligent, energetic, and dedicated public servant. My hope is based on realism and not change for change sake. Obama has great potential but is not as prepared in 2008 as she. So as someone who has two masters degrees and makes considerably more than 50K, I have rationally chosen the candidate that I believe represents hope for the future. I deeply resent Dowd and other media employees who have allowed their personal opinions to cloud journalistic objectivty. Once again (election of 2000, build-up to Iraq war, Bush administration’s anti-science policies plus…) Dowd and his colleagues have failed the American people.

I am for a president who listens to the people; on the war in Iraq – get out, on education – do better, on the economy – we need some relief here,hello? On national security – it isn’t all happening in Iraq – we need border and port security and a solution to 20 million illegal aliens (don’t
pass it to the border states!), we need jobs- stop NAFTA, we need gas – explore alternative fuels/energy and give tax incentives for developement! We need healthcare for American, but it has to be fair – give incentive to business who offer it, help us all get under the umbrella without all of us picking up the slack for those who don’t have it -ie 20,0000 illegal aliens. How many young people do you know who do not marry because – MEDICAID will pay for the babies? We need find solutions to keep people from working the system and we need systems that work for people in need- WE NEED CHANGE. I will vote for Obama. I am an independent voter and I belive that Obama it our best chance at changing America for the better. I am tired of the same old lies and the same old sell tactics and then the cold shoulder – I am depending on Obama to FIX IT! End the war, restore education, secure the borders, fix immigration, and secure our America’s economy. I want better energy solutions!
Obama cannot do this alone, we need to see that everyone in the House and Senate are on board BUT MOST OF ALL – WE NEED A GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE!!!! AND THE PEOPLE NEED TO SUPPORT THE CHANGES FOR OUR GREAT NATION – WE CANNOT GO ON THIS WAY! WE ARE BANKRUPT IN MANY AREAS!

Great Post O! If you read the total “Clinton Scandal File” it is some kind of scary! The body count just keeps adding up! Now, this is highly unprobable, no matter how your look at it! I am worried for Obama, especially since she has “mentioned” Bobby Kennedy not once – but three times as a reason/reference for her staying in the race. I don’t trust her or Bill. PERIOD!

anyone who does not realize the damage that the clintons have done to this country—has to be totally ignorant.
mainly nafta and the china trade agreement.chinese comunist people sleeping in lincolns bed in white house. no limit to their corruption.

after 16 years of the worst government i have ever witnessed—obama at his worst is still a boy scout compared to the others—his baggage is very minor and trivial compared to clintons and MCflip flop

The most important reason I could not vote for Hillary is that she is a manifest liar. The second reason is that she lacks the necessary foreign policy experience, to wit, her experience in Bosnia. How could I respect a leader who is in a plane that makes a “corkscrew landing” all the while fighting off snipers and the only backup she has is her then twelve-year-old daughter, a guitar player and a comedian. She could have at least brought along a sax player.

I’m looking at the American people who are in denial and full of blame. They want the easy way – hope, yes, we want our economy back, out troops home, etc. Whoever wins this race, we must put our faith in them to do what is best for our country. How do we know what is really going on? And, we cannot know everything, as that would put us all in jeopardy. How is this country going to be protected unless we fight. Do we want more destruction and loss of lives because our soldiers are home. Who’s protecting us? Talk to the soldiers who have been there. Nine our of ten will tell you this war is necessary to protect us. We will not have peace without a fight. There is much kept secret in the Whitehouse – of course, and it has to be that way for our protection. How can we judge when we don’t know all the facts? If OB gets in there, he’s going to have a tough time keeping his promises. We all must keep the hope and pray for our soldiers and what they are going through and be thankful for their sacrafice for us. Without them, our “hope” will turn to fear.

Hillary reminds me of an angry Kucinich, but without a penile appendage. The main difference though is that she’s more shrill, wants to blame people more and is one with the pervert. That’s why we call her Billery. Vote McCain you ignorant losers.

ANY WOMEN – INCLUDING HILLARY CLINTON,
WHO EMBRACES OR TOLARATES “SEXUAL EXPLOITATION” OF FEMALE SUBORDINATES BY THEIR “MALE SUPERIORS” OR “BOSS” OR “MENTORS” OR “COACHES” OR “TEACHERS” OR “PRIESTS” SHOULD REFLECT ON SELF. IT IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO ACCEPT BUSINESS AS USUAL OR TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER THAT THIS IS “NO BODY’S BUSINESS”. IT IS OUR BUSINESS, I AM A SCOUT LEADER FOR 20 YEARS, I AM THE PROUD FATHER OF TWO ADULT DAUGHTERS AND WOULD NEVER TOLARATE “SEXUAL EXPLOITATION” OF ANY SORT – TIME TO EXIT WITH GRACE, HILLARY, GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS. Sincerely, lake Hart, a Native American Writer.

OMG, are you part of the vast left-or-right-wing conspiracy that doesn’t believe in free speech? I can’t believe the disrespectful way that you spoke to me. Why are you engaging in sexism against males… are you a guy hater? I DEMAND THAT EVERY VOICE BE HEARD!
I am entitled to my views, it is my civil right. No, it’s a matter of HUMAN RIGHTS. This is not ZIMBABWE! Your attempt to suppress me is the same as denying the “hanging chads.” Are you the love child of Jim Baker?
You would like to believe that YOU are the best to protect the integrity of the electoral process but you are wrong… and I will say “I Told You So” later.
I happen to know that I am more popular that you are and therfore more qualified because I got more valentines in second grade.
Yes, you may not have noticed but I CHANGED THE RULES. Valentines are the new “popularity meter.” (I always change the rules to suit ME because I would lose otherwise, and I CAN”T STAND LOSING!)

The most important reason I could not vote for Hillary is that she is a manifest liar. The second reason is that she lacks the necessary foreign policy experience, to wit, her experience in Bosnia.

All you Obama haters, get use to the fact that he is going to be the nominee, and come fall, Obama will be our next President.

Per Jon Stewart it is a bi-wing-gual conspirisy. (lol)
Anti-Obama rhetoric is at this point in time pro-McSame.
If you really think Gramp’s is a better candidate then vote for him. The Hill shills can just quit it – nobody believes any of you nuts are serious or sincere.
NBD

Hillary is a PAIN.
SHE’S AN ‘OUCH-CUBE’.
Maybe, If we just rub her with some ‘Head On’ , she’ll go away, gracefully, not like the SORE LOSER /FEAR MONGERER she’s proved to be.
Y’know… like…
HEAD ON
APPLY DIRECTLY TO HER FOREHEAD.
HEAD ON
APPLY DIRECTLY TO HER FOREHEAD.
HEAD ON
APPLY DIRECTLY TO HER FOREHEAD.
HEAD ON IS AVAILABLE AT THE HOWARD DEAN / DNC PHARMACY.

Hilary should consider drop out the race as soon as posible before she affects more Obama’s Nomination as tne next President of the United Stares of America over Mcain.

HILLARY IS THE BEST PERSON TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SHE IS A WOMAN, SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE IS DOING, SHE IS FOR EACH PERSON IN AMERICA, SHE IS WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO GO THAT EXTRA MILE TO HELP EACH PERSON IN AMERICA, WHAT MORE DO WE NEED.
OBAMA IS NOT THE BEST PERSON TO BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA. HE IS A LIER. HE IS BLACK, HE DOES NOT KNOW THE FIRST STEP TO TAKING CHARGE OF THE USA. HE DOES NOT BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN FLAG. HE DOES NOT WANT TO HURT HIS COUNTRY’S FEELING TO REPRESENT OUR FLAG. HE DOES NOT SPEAK THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE, BECAUSE IT HAS GOD IN IT. HE DOES NOT EVEN BELIEVE IN THE LORD ABOVE. HE WILL NOT EVEN CROSS HIS HEART WHEN THE PLEDGE OF ALLIEGIANCE IS BEING SPOKE NOR WILL HE SAY IT ALONG WITH THE USA.
WHAT TYPE OF PERSON ARE YOU GUYS VOTING FOR TO REPRESENT THE USA?? WE DONT NEED A PERSON LIKE THIS TO REPRESENT OUR UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EVERYONE THAT IS VOTING FOR OBAMA DOES NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING EVERYBODY IN OUR COUNTRY INTO.
COLOR DOES HAS AN ISSUE IN THIS MATTER OF VOTING FOR THE RIGHT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE. LISTEN TO THE NEWS, RADIO’S, INTERNET BLOGS, INTERNET VIDEOS, AND WHATEVER ELSE SPEAKS/SHOWS TO US HOW AND WHAT BLACK PEOPLE ARE ALL ABOUT. I DONT HAVE TO POST IT ON HERE EVERYBODY KNOWS FROM HEARING AND SEEING IT ON THE NEWS EACH AND EVERY DAY AND NIGHT, WETHER IT BE THE NEWS THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE BLACK CULTURE PERSONALLY THERESELVES. WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR OUR COUNTRY AND VOTE FOR THE WHITE. WE MIGHT OF BROUGHT THEM THINGS OVER HERE TO OUR COUNTRY (WHICH WAS THE WORST MISTAKE THAT THE WHITE PEOPLE HAVE DID IN THEIR ENTIRE LIVES AND WE ARE SERIOUSLY REGRETTING IT NOW) BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO VOTE FOR THEM TO BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

WHY SHOULD THE USA VOTE A BLACK PERSON FOR PRESIDENT TO BEGIN WITH. WE NEVER HAD ONE IN THERE YET. SO LETS SEE, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?? IT MEANS THAT THEY ARE WORTHLESS AND MEANINGLESS. THEY WILL DO NOTHING FOR OUR COUNTRY EXCEPT BRING MORE INTO THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE GOVERNMENT AND EVERYTHING. WE DONT NEED THEM IN THERE. THERE IS ENOUGH THAT THEY ARE RUINING NOW IN THIS WORLD. THE WHITE POPULATION IS GOING DOWN TO SHREADS, IN THE NEXT TEN YEARS THE WHITE POPULATION IS GOING TO BE NOTHING. BECAUSE THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD BY THEN ARE GOING TO BE MIX BREEDS. PATHETIC ISNT IT. AND GUESS WHAT THE WHITE MAN WONT STAND UP TO THEM, BECAUSE THE BLACK MAN YELLS RACISM. BUT IT IS OKAY FOR THE BLACK TO DO ALL THIS SH*T TO THE WHITE AND NOTHING IS SUPPOSE TO BE SAID. WANNA KNOW WHY, BECAUSE THE BLACK WILL CALL IT RACISM. IF ANYONE IS RACIST IT IS THE BLACKS, NOT THE WHITES. WE JUST KNOW HOW AND WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT. AND THAT IS NOTHING BUT TROUBLE, ASSAULT, DRUGS, AND THEY ARE WORTHLESS HUMAN BEINGS. NOTHING GOOD TO BRING TO THIS WORLD AT ALL. THE AFICANS OVER IN AFRICE DONT CONSIDER THE BLACKS OVER HERE IN THE USA AFRICAN AMERICANS, THE AFRICANS CALL THE BLACKS OVER HERE N*GGERS. THAT IS WHAT THE ARIFICANS CONSIDER THEM. THE AFRICANS DONT EVEN LIKE THE BLACKS OVER HERE AT ALL BECAUSE OF HOW AND WHAT THEY ARE ALL ABOUT. SO WHY VOTE FOR A BLACK PERSON TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT, THAT I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

Thank you for standing up to comedian’s Carol Leifer negative comments about the Knights of Columbus during the Real Time with Bill Maher program. It is my hope she takes the time to learn about the wonderful charity works that the Knights of Columbus (www.kofc.org)and their families are involved in. Thank you for speaking up about the good that the Knights of Columbus is known for. I took note that Ms. Leifer, maybe out of respect to you, stopped her derogatory comments about the organization after your comments.
I am glad you are a man that stands up to his principles.
