Other than proving he is a cheat, the Sex part does not bother me that much. What kind of sex he prefers is none of my business - the fact he lies about it speaks to lack of character and JUDGEMENT!

However, the CRACK part scares the living crap out of me. We currently have a supposedly reformed Cocaine user in the WH now - and supposedly he has been clean for 20+ years.

It is my understanding that CRACK is worse than Cocaine, and the effects are horrifying.

Further, it is is only a few years back, not 20+ years, and NO Rehab done. Do we really want someone who is a CRACK HEAD running this country? As it is the Europeans are at a minimum VERY uneasy about this guy. What will they think/do when they find out he is a CRACK HEAD? So much for NATO and US security, never mind any domestic policies.

And since it’s a blog that pretty much agrees with what I believe I think I’ll continue to “park my butt” here. Didn’t know that I had to have been a long time resident to ask a question. Do long time residents have special privileges of which I am unaware? Are new commenters unwelcome? Are newbies supposed to sit quietly while “older, long term posters” pontificate? Someone please tell me the rules so I can “park my butt” where it belongs. Or is Cee not in charge? Again, just a question.

Sorry if my simple question ruffled your feathers and lead to a snotty response that failed to answer a simple question.

It’s a question I’ve asked numerous times on numberous blogs and have yet to get an honest answer.

Steele’s senate campaign even mirrored Obama’s in interesting ways. He also appealed to people from the other party to vote for him and went after the Black vote with a combination of guilt trips, deception and outright intimidation. Steele was a republican, but posted signs in heavily Black areas that said “Steele” (in large letters) “Democrat” (in smaller letters below). He also tried to pimp charges of racism during his campaign, astonishingly against Blacks as well as whites, while saying nothing when the governor went to a segregated country club.

Obama doesn’t want to be black period!!!!!

The attacks on the Clintons are really surprising to me, especially since the most vicious come from those who would defend them tooth and nail a year ago. And these attacks are almost always delivered as a reply to a suggestion that Obama be held up to the light. I can’t understand the reluctance to vote for Hillary. I just can’t. I do, however, completely understand the reluctance to get behind Barack.

Perhaps the Big Picture is too abstract. Perhaps America wasn’t quite ready for this.

I’m hoping Edwards has suspended and not endorsed is because he knows something…

You’re right. It IS happening on practically every site, no matter which side people are on, and I hate it. The trashing of Bill Clinton’s presidential legacy is so far removed from reality I can’t abide it. Obama supporters just sit there dumbfounded when you ask them why they wouldn’t want to return to the strongest economy since the 1950’s, a huge surplus, 20 million jobs created, entrepreneurship at it’s peak, etc etc etc. They can’t fathom it because they either don’t remember it (they were in elementary school at the time) or they simply refuse to remember it.

But the trashing of both candidates — in the most personal, vicious ways — is immature, short-sighted and utterly counterproductive. The tabloid slurs I’m seeing against Obama are over the line.

I’m not bitter that Edwards didn’t make it, I’m just sad about it. I really think he understands what is wrong with this country and has some good working ideas on how to start fixing it. But I sure as hell don’t want to see McCain get the White House because we won’t be able to survive that. Not after the last eight years of crime and corruption from the Bush mob.

I cringe when Obama supporters refuse to vote for Hillary in November, the same way I cringe when her supporters refuse to vote for him.

People don’t seem to understand the concept of the Big Picture anymore.

By the way - I’m pretty sure I saw Taters on TV last week! Next ime he’s around here I’m going to have to interrogate him about whether he’s the long-haired dude with the blonde Tele.

The Obama supporters are dragging up Hillary shit going back to when she took her first step. And Bill’s. They are leaving nothing unturned, including the debunked stuff. They call her evil, Satan, greedy, dangerous, and insult her clothing, hair and ankles. They’re mocking Bill Clinton - no, they’re punching him in the gut. Bill Clinton! They’re circulating Hillary parodies. They’re saying she and Bill stole a lot of money and are going to be arrested. They misrepesent her vote on the war - some are so far gone they think he VOTED no!

I dropped into a particular large site after the debates. All manner of ugly was going on. It was shocking, and gave me a headache. Yesterday, I braved another look at the site, deciding only to read a blog by John Ridley and its (screened) comments. I noticed that none of the Obama supporters could present a reasoned argument on the most basic point, and there seemed to be an increase of Obama critics.

Apart from a handful, I find true Hillary supporters and Obama-busters I come across on-line to be civil and well-informed. This awful sinclair stuff grosses me out and I really wish no-one would ever bring it up again. I try to tamp it down whenever I come across it. A read of Taylor Marsh’s site is an excellent insight into the reasoning and m.o. of an anti-Obama or pro-Hillary person. There are plenty of refugess from hostile Obama sites there.

Sorry your site feels taken over. I know what it’s like.

I agree! Keep reading my comments!

The rest of what you said was probably crap as usual, but I’d have to waste my time reading it to find out.

I respectfully disagree.

I doubt if myiq2xu really gives a shit about who Cee is.

His/her opinion re: wanting to silence someone who goes out of their way to be obnoxious all the time is rational.

myiq2xu is certainly entitled to a very popular opinion.

I can hardly wait until myiq2xu gets a load of shoephone/shurin et al.

The Singing Senators bore you? Even Larry Craig?

Hot Air, AIM, Drudge are all okay here now, aren’t they?

This is in response to your question about Obama

Expand drug courts; help prisoners with substance abuse
THE PROBLEM
Disparities Continue to Plague Criminal Justice System: African Americans and Hispanics are more than twice as likely as whites to be searched & arrested when stopped by police. Disparities in drug sentencing laws, like the differential treatment of crack as opposed to powder cocaine, are unfair.
OBAMA’S PLAN
Expand Use of Drug Courts: Obama will give first-time, non-violent offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in the type of drug rehabilitation programs that have proven to work better than a prison term in changing bad behavior.
Reduce Crime Recidivism by Providing Ex-Offender Support: Obama will provide job training, substance abuse and mental health counseling to ex-offenders, so that they are successfully re-integrated into society.
Eliminate Sentencing Disparities:The disparity between sentencing crack and powder-based cocaine is wrong and should be completely eliminated.
