Dear Hillary: Please don’t ask me to support Barky because I won’t. Ever.

It’s all over the press that beginning Friday, Hillary Clinton will be fundraising with the presumptive nominee, Barack Obama. For many of us, I’d say at least a few million, this is a nauseating thought. While we respect Hillary for her loyalty, we will not be joining her efforts. In fact, for me at least, Hillary’s choice to support Obama reminds me of the battered wife returning home to her batterer. Often, these women have no choice. And I think in a way that’s true for Hillary. She’s a Democrat before all else and I’m sure there are other complicated factors. But in a Salon article entitled: Why Clinton Supporters Will Come Back to the Fold, Walter Shapiro argues that I’ll change my mind. His piece carries the subtitle:
Don’t worry about those angry Hillary supporters who say they’ll vote for McCain or stay home in November. History proves they’ll vote for Obama.
The article shows a photo of a Hillary’s supporter, a woman of course, crying and being comforted by another. But this melodramatic display of emotion, Shapiro suggests, is just bluffing. First, to continue the theme of a domestic spat, he compares us to nagging parents. Perhaps because that insult is too banal, he then compares us to George Bush:
As an empty threat, it ranks right up there with “Eat your spinach now or your mother and I won’t pay for college” or even George W. Bush’s taunting promise to get Osama bin Laden “dead or alive.” During the post-primary news lull, ardent Hillary Clinton supporters have managed to linger in the spotlight with their over-hyped warnings that they intend to sit on their hands or even bolt to John McCain if they are not wooed and won over by Barack Obama.
Yes, the sexism is there: we’re waiting to be wooed. And of course Clinton supporters are holding out because some people, women specifically, are fanning the flames of “feminist grievances. ” Here Shapiro perpetuates the Obama campaign’s sexist stereotyping of Hillary’s supporters by focusing on women, when in fact there are many men actively protesting Obama’s stolen nomination. But when the “Barack-and-Hillary show” goes on air, and the pundits wonder:
Was the joint appearance enough to win over the hardcore Hillary holdouts? The answer is an obvious “yes”…
Shapiro makes the same mistake as others outside the circle of Just Say No Deal PUMAs. He thinks that during the primary there was no “overriding issue…absolutely no ideological reason — beyond ruffled feelings” to keep Clinton supporters from voting for Obama. In fact, he says that the polling done today will not stand up in November:
For example, an ABC News/Washington Post Poll last week found that 24 percent of the Democrats who backed Clinton prefer McCain over Obama. But these numbers will certainly decline as base Democrats gravitate to their party’s nominee with increasing enthusiasm.
Citing studies that indicate that voters come back to the party even though their favorite candidate lost the nomination,” Shapiro seems to think that we will be convinced that Obama WON the nomination. We know that he did not win. This is no longer about Hillary, this is about the corruption of the Democratic leaders. Shapiro joins the ranks of Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, and the Obama-loving media who think we are simple-minded vacuous creatures who will ultimately follow them like sheep to the slaughter. He says:
A common theory is that disgruntled voters, troubled by the direction of their party, end up staying home in November. But with a record-smashing 36 million Democrats voting in the presidential primaries, this is not shaping up as a political year in which anyone will neglect to vote because, say, Whole Foods was having a sale on organic olive oil that day.
Again resorting to sexist stereotyping, Shapiro suggests that “the hardcore Hillary-types” will vote for Obama instead of shopping for olive oil. The media, and the Obama campaign, which of course includes the DNC, since they are now one and the same, are expecting us to develop collective amnesia.
We are going to forget all about Barky stealing the nomination, and insulting Hillary and her supporters. We’re going to forget the farce of the primary, that the decision to put Barky in place came before the first caucus cheating ever happened. We’re going to get over the misogyny and the sexism and the accusations of racism, and the elitism. We’re going to forget that many of us have received death threats from Barky’s insane followers, that our families have been threatened, and that we blog in full knowledge that we could be outed and viciously attacked at any time. We’re going to get over the fact that Barack Obama is an inexperienced, unqualified, two-faced, and a potentially dangerous politician with roots deep within the corrupt Chicago Machine.
Shapiro is certain that we’ll come around, though, even if we don’t know it yet. Well, maybe not those bitter, gun-toting, religious nuts–the blue-collar Dems, but those us who are “errant voters,” we will. In an analogy that is surely a Freudian slip, Shapiro claims that we will be guided by the lights of a roadside hotel, where cheap tricks are scored and whores are on the make, that is, the hijacked Democratic Party:
Party unity is never total — and there certainly are blue-collar Democrats who opted for Clinton in the primaries because she was a placeholder for their qualms about Obama. But for over-the-hill-with Hillary voters, passionate about the notion of a woman president or beguiled by all things Clinton, there will be no dramatic renunciation scene in their political future. Virtually all of them will be voting for Obama, whether they know it now or not. For a political party is a bit like Motel Six, where there is always a light on to guide errant voters home in the dark.
Talk about being in the dark….























Mr. Shapiro truly is in the dark…
He can cite whatever historical situations you wish. The fact is there has never been a primary like this one — so let’s throw history out the window, shall we? Us ‘angry Hillary supporters’ don’t just need to calm down and take a walk. Long held valuable principles govern our actions, not anger or bitterness. Political smarts and an ability to know a sham when we see one forms our decisions and the course we will take. Perhaps that is too uncomfortable a truth for the pundit class to process.
A number of us have already left the Democratic Party and registered as Independents. No matter if Democrats in the past have shown they wouldn’t know how to pick a winning candidate if it bit them, or have not exhibited the spine we would like in Congress, we stuck with them through thick and thin because we thought they stood for something. Now that the DNC has thrown its own principles under the bus, and with them, our voices, which have consistently been ignored, it is much easier for us to walk away.
We will not support Senator Obama for President is that he is not qualified for the job. In fact, there has never been a less qualified or more shape-shifting candidate for President.
I invite Mr. Shapiro to come visit with us on November 5th and see if we changed our minds.
My response?
Let’s put DOG to work on on Birth-Certificate Gate.
Madam, I am sure if there was anything wrong with Senator Obama’s birth Certificate, the state of Hawaii would have spoken up by now. Unlike yourself being a fictional character of not too good values, you would not have a birth certificate under DeFarge in any state in the Union. so shut up
*************ALERT**********
************ALERT***
TROLL ALERT
REALLY ANGRY ONE JUST LIKE MICHELLE OBAMA…..
Why doesn’t everybody just agree with you all the time? Wouldn’t that make life easier?
Because they’re idiots and yes.
She’s baaaaaaack. What name is she using now?
Michelle is looking for more strategy?
Hmmm. That’s the only reason they monitor the blogs.
They look to see which way the wind is blowing to minimize us.
Sorry old lady from WY if there is not an investigation that has been requested the state of Hawaii would not speak up and oh did you forget what country you live in? Read the Constitution and the Bill of Rights so you get a clue, thanks.

“DID YOU FORGET WHAT COUNTRY YOU LIVE IN” WON’T FLY ANYMORE. LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO LARRY SINCLAIR WHILE MEETING WITH THE PRESS JUST AFTER HIS PRESS CONFERENCE AT THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB IN WASHINGTON, D.C. HE GETS “ARRESTED” BY THREE FEDERAL MARSHALLS WHO TELL LARRY THEY HAVE A WARRANT OUT OF DELAWARE BUT IT IS IN THE CAR. YEAH RIGHT! WITH THE HELP OF THE D.C. POLICE, THEY MANAGE TO HOLD LARRY IN A CELL FOR FOUR DAYS, WITH=HOLDING HIS DAILY MEDICATIONS AND PHONE PRIVILEGE. HE IS NOT TOLD WHAT THE WARRANT IS FOR OR ANYTHING. FOUR DAYS LATER HE IS TAKEN BEFORE A JUDGE IN DELAWARE AND TOLD “THERE IS NO WARRANT”???? WHO IS BEHIND TRYING TO STOP LARRY FROM TELLING HIS STORY ABOUT OBAMA?? BIG FISH WILL FRY ON THIS ONE! “To be honest with you, its not so much whether you believe me or not, as much as you hear me.”
-Larry Sinclair at the National Press Club
Larry’s words, my post! http://www.larrysinclair.org/press.html
Shouldn’t your name be “bitter old hag from Wyoming?”
If there is something wrong about the birth certificate, it will come out. Trouble with you obamaholics is that you would rather let a cheat into the WH, than call him on his shit…speaks volumes about you and him.
And please don’t clutter up this space with ill-informed, inane postings….and you too might want to STFU!!
LOL——OLD HAG !!!!!!!!
Governments always act ethically? Not on this planet. Maybe on planet Koolaid they do.
It does seem that the “hated” DNC would have made sure the birth certificate wasn’t going to be a problem. It doesn’t make sense that they would invest all this time and resources into a candidate that could be so easily debunked. I mean if you ignoramuses could have produced a viable reason to have Sen. Obama removed from the race you would have already. And regards to Obama’s legislative record foxnews.com has an in depth report.
Thanks for giving me an idea. I’m calling my local network and ask them if they’d like to come into the voting boothe in Nov to watch me pull the lever for McCain.
I live about 10 miles from Unity, NH and part of me wants to go, but mostly I don’t want to represent ‘unity’ of any kind with Obama. I will not vote for such inexperience, bully liar as Nobama.
I’d be the one in the crowd Heckling Obama. I’d want to speak to Hillary alone about all this and with all the security..I’ll go kayaking instead.

I recently heard a song on my cable Tv for a pet product.
There ain’t no bugs on me
There ain’t no bugs on me
There may be bugs on some of your mugs
But there ain’t no bugs on me.
Pretty much how I feel about supporting Obama. There are no bugs on me. I am an independent thinker who will judge the candidate’s on their individual competence and merits not just because they are of a specific party. In years past, the party nominee was the best nominee. This yearI just don’t think this happened.
There ain’t no bugs on me!!
…and here you are voting for a cockroach.
Yeah buddy keep dreaming. Count me and 23 voting age members of my family of third generation yellow dog democrats in five states (and yes we have voted for blacks before campaigned heavily for Harold Ford so don't start the racist crap) as dems voting for Mccain in November with or without Hillary on the ticket. Obama is not qualified to be president.JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA
MCCAIN 2008 OR UNTIL HILLARY RISES
And count me and 35 voting age members of my family- all lifelong Dems, not a one voting for Obama. ANd we are a stubborn lot- we won’t be changing our minds. Every last one of us agrees- this is about putting our country- the country my grandparents dreamed and worked and sacrificed to get to- first.
Party Unity My Ass!
God Bless America!
I’ve never voted for a single Republican in my entire life but thanks to Obama that is about to change unless Hillary gets the nomination. Donna doesn’t want my vote anyway.

My voter card now says “none” under party.
On a positive note, the Pentagon announced it wants to promote a woman to 4-star general. She will be the first female full general in U.S. history.

Sonia. when you are writing the contraction “don’t” you do not use a comma…you use an apostrophe. As you can see as it is used in this post…Using a comma makes whatever you are trying to say, appear illiterate and nobody pays attention to any thing you might have had to say. get some education
You might like to get some manners.
Thx for defending me
I did not realize –we have to be perfect in writing to be able to blog “
oh well –who the f**K cares —i don,t

It’s smells like a “Bob Johnson” post.
His fetish is pointing out spelling and grammar.
It’s his idea of having a sex life.
LOL right on!
Hey {{Sonia}} I hope you are well!
That “old lady..” is probably a hairy guy from Gaza.
The trolls using feminine user names are probably all guys — real ugly guys, living somewhere in a hole.
I have an old lady sister in law who is for Obama — but that’s because she buys into the latest fad (or illness). She also is too busy to even bother investigating Obama.
Only the brownshirt koolaid drinking trolls bother to come here.
So “old lady” is probably a teenager and the only old lady he knows is his mom — who just yelled at him for his leaving his dirty cloths in the bathroom.
Thank you so much for ur kind words just what i expected
as you mentioned in ur name “old lady “`
no offense –may be u should be in chatting rooms ,so u know that today,s young people don,t care for commas when blogging —-because remember we r blogging not giving english exams –

ooooh SNAP……NOT EVEN….LAME, YES

I’ve got enough education for both of us. Do you need to borrow some?
no old lady you are the dumb one, for voting for Obama
this reminds me of a scene in a movie where a smitten teenager writes his teacher a love letter and gets it back with the punctuation and spelling corrected.
don’t pay attention to the content, old lady, just keep worrying about the form.
Apparently you did!!
Old Lady,
I did pay attention & I understood very well what Sonia was saying.
Maybe, you need to be humble and admit that you understood the text of Sonia.
In plain sentence:we, the voters,will NOT VOTE BARACK OBAMA for USA President.
He is weak, corrupt,incompetent and a PHONY!

and your other choice is???????
Hey Wyoming,
Obviously you have nothing to contribute to the conversation.
You know where you can stick that apostrophe.
Your life hasn’t been much more than a comma!

Old lady from wyoming- Here in Texas we have a little old lady from Pasadena. You’ve heard that song I’m sure. Every time I hear that song I think of my mother who passed back in 1991. She lived in Pasadena TX. She was also a woman of morals and respect for others, She was a democrat a true democrat.She raised 6 children by herself through the late 60’s and 70’s. No child support and no welfare. No family help. She was a woman of character and integrity who would cetainly join a group like the PUMAS’. She would be sickened by what has happened in this election as any American would. Certainly any true american woman would. I am assuming you are a woman based on your name. What a disappointment you must be to someone other than the real women on this site like me and Sonia. You see Sonia is expressing her opinions you are just looking to degrade. You are a true follower of hate. Hate will get you nowhere. There is a difference between illiteracy and ignorance. GOD BLESS AMERICA……..

Hey Bitter Old Hag From Wyoming….
I am totally surprised they have the proper reference books in your trailer park for you to peruse and learn about apostrophes. I am sure your mammy and pappy would be so proud…NOT
Now go back and fix the punctuation on this posting of yours:
Madam, I am sure if there was anything wrong with Senator Obama’s birth Certificate, the state of Hawaii would have spoken up by now. Unlike yourself being a fictional character of not too good values, you would not have a birth certificate under DeFarge in any state in the Union. so shut up
Dumbass
polite people don’t show their asses like you do. furthermore, you don’t have a period at the end of your last sentence. you also misplaced your commas making what you wrote not readable or easily understood. so YOU GET SOME EDUCATION.
You mean like using a capital letter after a period? STFU!
This thread is funny, lOLLLLL. So the one who is correcting does not use caps after a period?:) Oh, funny!
This thread is funny, I’m just LOLLL!
How Funny - I was just going to ask Sonia if I could copy this and send it to all 218 (and growing) anti-obama sites. A great post!!!
Well, “Old Lady”, you might want to offer your criticisms AFTER making certain your own post is free of spelling and grammatical errors.
For starters, you used a period after addressing Sonia (it should have been a comma) and then you have the audacity to use the ellipsis (. . .) incorrectly TWICE. Where you used it the first time, you should have simply used a comma or a hyphen (even a semicolon would be acceptable). In the second instance, a simple period should be used. To be absolutely proper,however, you didn’t actually make a complete sentence (”As you can see as it is used in this post” is merely a dependent clause).
Then when you decided to issue the critique about appearing illiterate, you left yourself open to making yourself appear, if not illiterate, then poorly educated. There was no need for a comma between “trying to say” and “appear illiterate”.
You also (for some reason) chose to use “any thing” rather than “anything” (the more correct form). Splitting the word can be done for effect but, in this case, it was unnecessary.
You also blew it right at the end of your diatribe. You failed to capitalize the first word in the sentence AND you failed to punctuate the end of the sentence.
Take your own advice, “Old Lady”, and get some education before attacking someone else’s grammar.
Last time I checked, you don’t start a sentence with a lower cased letter and after referring to someone by name, try using a comma and not a period. This makes you appear to be illerate as well.
Sonia. when you are writing the contraction “don’t” you do not use a comma…you use an apostrophe. As you can see as it is used in this post…Using a comma makes whatever you are trying to say, appear illiterate and nobody pays attention to any thing you might have had to say. get some education

Gaddafi: Obama is a Muslim
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSemkPChvHo
Obama is black Arab/muslim. That’s may be why he is not producing his real birth certificate.
I personally have timed the attrition of my olive oil with the General Election.
So, good luck Mr. Sap. (Actually, if it goes that far, you will need 2 votes for Obama to cover me voting for McCain.)
Thank you for your confirmation that it will be a cold day in hell before Obama gets to be President of anything.
That’s great. Maybe we all should! LOL
It’s not about Hillary anymore.
The Democrat party has exposed to me that they are not democratic in anyway.
The biased and fixed nominating process has shown me that these New democrats are thugs and Marxists.
They don’t represent me and my values. In fact I despise them now.
I love this blog. It’s as if someone decided to create a place where anyone could turn should they need some way of demonstrating just how bad folks can get when it comes to their political beliefs.
First GW stole the election from Gore. Which I actuallythink has SOME merit.
Now, Obama stole the nomination from HIllary?
Are you folks watching the same news on the same planet as everyone else? Obama for months was showing better in the public opinion polls. He had more money. Hillary could not shake her extra baggage. She was going broke.
The only really sad thing is, to see folks so willingly clutch at any straw, any accusation, if it will soothe their emotionaly formed beliefs. All too common an occurance these days. It would do everyone good, to sit back, take some responsibility, accept what you have, and realize it could get even worse. Mccain could win.
Hillary won 9 out of 10 of the biggest states. The Republicans wanted her out of the way so that they could face the patsy.
You Obamabots fell for it.
I’m proud now to vote for a boring old war hero than an anti-American racist.
You were fools to turn on the Clinton wing of the party.
Now you pay for causing the party to loose!
Yes — the Obama supporters are causing the party to lose.
This was gamed from the very beginning. Get the stronger candidate out first so you can face the arrogant, inexperienced shape-shifter who reneges on all his campaign promises, has no real legislative achievement and 20 years of nefarious and crooked associations.
John McCain is the luckiest man alive.
I wonder how Obama’s loyal supporters would feel if they did some research and found out just how much Republican money was propping up their candidate? You don’t really think he raised all that money from small internet donations, do you?
Surely, no one is that naive.
Follow the money. The research has been done. You just have to google it. Read articles by Evelyn Pringle for one thing. Look up his votes or the lack thereof.
Follow the money.
Hillary won the popular vote. Obama’s numbers were only as high as they are because:
1. Obama Thugs manhandled and cheated at the caucuses (investigations are in process)
2. He is a puppet of the Chicago Machine of Daley et al.
3. He has big money supporters who are supporting him for their own agenda (Soros, etc)
4. He’s able to delude people like you by his lying, two-faced, racist, bs. He’s a fraud and crook.
Educate yourself somewhere that doesn’t serve kool aid.
What qualifies BO to be president? Nothing! The man didn’t even serve out a full year as senator.
In the beginning I liked BO. My feelings for him changed when he didn’t want the revote to go forward in Florida & Michigan. It was then that I started to realize the guy was an opportunist that didn’t give a damn about the peoples right to vote.
But that was just the beginning.
Like the article says, it’s so much more than Hillary now. The DNC selected BO. The Super Delegates were suppose to go with the stronger candidate. And all the electoral college maps from the most liberal to the most conservative had Hillary slaughtering McCain. BO could hardly keep up with him. That said, every time she had a landslide against BO that had to bring out someone to endorse him in order to take the spotlight off of her. The last primary, in South Dakota was disgusting. Hillary was once again beating him in a state her was suppose to win and the Super Delegates didn’t even have the class to wait until the primaries were over to fall into line behind BO.
I believe Hillary was railroaded from the gate. It was Dean and Donna Brazille who stripped the voters of Florida & Michigan. That handicapped her from the start.
Yet Hillary fought on, with both hands tied behind her back. The sexist media, outspent by BO 4 to 1 & then the bullying of her own party to drop out.
Why on Earth would a woman in this day & age support a party that treated the first woman candidate, one who persevered & won the hearts & the votes of the people, why would any of us vote for an inept man because he is a democrat?
And forget about using the abortion issue to scare. Ever hear of the morning after pill?
No the only thing frightening would be if BO got into power. He’s another George Bush, just as stupid, and just as uncaring of the people of this country. The only thing different is that he’s the far left. BO &Bush are book-ends.
We women will not forget come November. Our dissent has only just begun!
NOBAMA
PUMA
“Book-ends”Love that! ya, any creative folks out there need to make some bookends with the likeness of the idiot W and the Precious! I’d pay big bucks for that and send the money to the PUMA party! No wonder the DNP has a jackass for a mascot. Purrfect!
Puma Power kids! We are gonna rock their world come November! Can’t wait to get my hat and bumper stickers!
“Are you folks watching the same news on the same planet as everyone else?”
Hell No! That’s why we actually know what is really going on! Obviously, you think the MSM is telling the truth–your first big mistake. I suppose you believed that Saddam Hussein was an imminent threat too, because THE NEWS told us so. Go to a dictionary andd look up the word: PROPAGANDA. Do you really think “what everyone else is doing” is an intelligent indicator of the best choice? That, in a nutshell, explains why all the sheep are following Obama. He’s the new iPhone.
“Obama for months was showing better in the public opinion polls.” [Which polls would those be? In February? It couldn't have been in the major swing states where she beat him handily. And it certainly wasn't the polls that reflected that actual WINNER of the popular vote = Hillary.]
“He had more money. Hillary could not shake her extra baggage. She was going broke.” [And where exactly does that money come from--small donors? Hardly. Do some research: Wall St./sub-prime mortgage industry, the nuclear power industry, George Soros etc. And I wonder why she "couldn't shake her extra baggage?" Could it have anything to do with the fact that the Obama campaign was feeding the media and public regular talking points created by the right-wing in the '90's with flyers, radio ads, and robo calls? And p.s. Hillary raised more money than any other candidate in primary history, besides Obama. Not really a reflection of an "unpopular" candidate.]
“The only really sad thing is, to see folks so willingly clutch at any straw, any accusation, if it will soothe their emotionaly formed beliefs. All too common an occurance these days.” [LOL! That's a good one. Yea, we'd hate to see people choosing their candidates based on emotion--and not substance--alone. That could lead a nominee who has no actual experience, but makes people feel good by holding big rallies, throwing free concerts, and pretending to be historical figures.]
“It would do everyone good, to sit back, take some responsibility, accept what you have, and realize it could get even worse.” [I totally agree with 'taking responsibility.' Does that mean the Obama campaign will admit their vicious and unethical campaign tactics, instead of claiming they are the champions of 'new politics?' Will they admit to blocking the revotes in FL & MI? Will they admit to paying off superdelegates and strongarming and abusing Clinton supporters? And how about the DNC & the RBC? Will they admit to manipulating the primary process and selectively enforcing "the Rules" (and violating their own Party's Charter) so that their favored ($$$) candidate could be carried over the finish line as the voters were rejecting him more and more?
"Mccain could win." [You bet your sweet a*s he can, and if Obama is the nominee, YES HE WILL!]
then if obama is such a money machine, where is they money now. the dnc has four million on hand. obama is chasing checks like a forger. so what gives? it has been reported but this is definitely the sleeper story and one of the most important.
Yes McCain WILL WIN.
Thanks to all the help he’s getting from the Obamaabutts.
So keep coming Obamaaaabutts — keep drinking the koolaid. You idiots are creating new voters FOR McCain every day, every hour, every minute!!
Here ya go, SWEETIE:
Some Findings:
* 35.6 million people have voted
* The 37 primary states account for 97% of the vote.
* The 13 caucus states account for 3% of the vote.
Bottom line: Clinton’s lead is from 34.5 million voters (97%) in Primaries. Obama’s lead is from 1.1 million voters (3%) in caucuses.
NEITHER candidate won enough Pledged Delegates to win the nomination and HILLARY won the popular vote. You people really need to stop ignoring FACTS. This is our country we’re talking about and not some grade school popularity contest! Wake the hell up!
McCain could win? I certainly hope so. Why?
If Obama wins, he’ll fall flat on his face, because he has no experience. You can’t blame somebdoy for doing a bad job when they have no experience, because they don’t know any better.
So who can we blame for Obama? Who should take responsibility for his mistakes in office?
Everyone who voted for Obama.
If McCain wins and does a bad job, we can all blame McCain, because McCain has the experience to do the job.
Since I hate to take blame for something that isn’t my very own itty bitty little fault, I will vote for experience and McCain.
REALLY OUT OF TOUCH. Don’t they know we don’t have to rely on Whole Foods to buy our Organic Olive Oil?
Hillary had the real base of Democrats, principle, policy, etc. Barky will get some of the base that vote any ole Dem and that’s it.
They apparently have paid attention to his election and only the horse race.
that should have been, they apparently have NOT paid attention to this election and only the horse race. sorry
What are the beliefs of Obama’s career launching friends? How do they relate to society and how much of an impact have they had on the Chicago Senator? It is my goal to encourage a conversation about these friends that are known terrorists. There is a NEW MUST SEE VIDEO!
http://hillaryloyalistnowformccain.com/obamaandhisterroristfriends.aspx
McCain will win if Obama is the other choice!
A dead person would win of Obama was the other choice!!!
If Hillary is not on the ballot and Obama is the nominee after the convention,
it will be down to McCain and Obama.
McCain will not win if we write in a candidate or vote for a third party candidate.
McCain will not win if we don’t vote for him.
McCain will not win if we stay home.
If McCain does not win, guess who will?
Yes. He. Might.
Don’t make it “Yes he did.”
Determine the best way to cast your vote to keep Barack Obama out of the office of POTUS.
And take a moment to send a buck or two or a few or more to “Hillary Clinton for President.” Help her pay off that debt so that she can be in the right place, at the right time, debt free, and ready.
Anyone besides me having trouble staying connected to the internet long enough to read and respond? I’m not having trouble on any other sites, but keep getting slammed here. A bug, perhaps?
Shapiro can kiss my Red Ass!
There is nothing that man says or does that will EVER get me to vote for him! NEVER!
That is the problem with these over paid, over fed, Park avenue journalist. They don’t know shit from shine-ola!
I’m supposed to vote for That rat bastard…and yes he is a Bastard, because history tells me so? Kiss my ass!
We will see come November Shapiro! Then maybe your sorry ass will understand that This was never an idle threat to boycott the dem party, It was REALITY!
It must be my aging. I am getting slow to catch on. I was wondering until now, how can so many people state it with a straight face that the Clinton supporters will come back and vote for Obama and they will do it happily…
They never leave their offices at DNC and the studios. They never talk to real people.
It’s a mind game. They think if they say it often enough, we ditzy women will believe it. “Well, if those other women are voting for BO, I will too!” Like we believe ANYTHING they say?
They really do believe we’re a bunch of sore losers just crying in our tea cups and will see the Obama Light in November.
They are so CLUELESS! I have to wonder if any of these men are married?
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned….and they are about to see mega-ton of scorn in November if BO is allowed to steal the nomination from Hillary in August.
Or they are just on board with the fake polls showing Obama winning in….FLORIDA…a state even he has abandoned hope of winning.
They need talking points to explain away the vote flipping.
I will not vote for Obama under any circumstances. I have been saying that for months. Mr. Shapiro does not realize that my feelings about this grow stronger every passing day, not weaker.
I am very disappointed that Hillary chose to be a good Democrat and support Obama. This is against her best interests. Helping him get in shuts the door for her in 2012.
I’m not too sure Obama really has a chance in 08. The polls are so skewed. Hillary should not help him regardless.
the Aol Straw Poll is still showing solid red. Funny thing isn’t it? You’d think all the Obama trolls would be running it up. There must not be as many as you’d think based on all their blogging.
I plan not to watch her and Obama on the stump. I am American first. I really believe she thinks Obama is very bad for country.
I hope Bill never helps (Obama called him a racist after all his hard work) Obama does not deserve him.
They will go thru every word that the Clinton’s and make appear they are hurting him no matter how much they do.
That works for me.
The way I see it Hillary can work on reforming the DNP from the inside while “we” hold them to account for their fraud and corruption through the primary. I will never support obama or the DNC nd there are MANY reasons, but the one that should never be accepted by anyone is the stealing of votes and the will of the Michigan voters, that is worse than what the SC did in 2000.
This is a must see video! Everyone around the world believes obama is a Muslim including Khadafi. I guess that is why the Palestinian’s in Gaza had a blog group that campaigned for obama here online. I think the FEC needs to investigate how many donations obama received from out of the country, at least Khadafi is suggesting obama received a lot of money.
http://mccaindemocrats.blogspot.com/
It is no longer about Hillary Clinton. For me, this is about the absolute corruption of the DNC and their “mafioso” tactics used on Super Delegates. Obama DID NOT WIN…period. The DNC gave him the nomination, twisted the arms and therefore, threatened the careers of any of the Super Delegates even considering voting for Clinton. The DNC did everything it could to get her to drop out. Even with all of that, Clinton, outspent sometimes as much as 5 to 1, never given any kind of a fair shake in the mainstream media, treated like crap by her own party who actually TOOK votes away and gave them to Obama illegally, still managed to secure the popular vote.
The Dnc is now The Obama Campaign, having moved it’s headquarters to Chicago and turned the whole operation over to Obama.
People in this country better wake up and “Smell the Stink”. 40 years A Democrat, I will be voting for John McCain, contributing and fundraising. If anyone had EVER told me I would willingly vote for a Republican, I would have called them a damned liar to their face. Saddest day of my life resigning from the Party and I will never go back.
Good post KC! I’m right there with you. It’s the corruption. What they did is the absolute antithesis of democracy, so Party affiliation means nothing. Using the end to justify the means makes them no better than the Republicans of the past. I will never never never endorse this behavior by voting for the illegitimate candidate that they carried into the nomination.
I have been thinking about this lately: I’ve been wrong. Obama DOES inspire me. He inspires me to vote against him more every day. He inspires me to put all my energy and resources into the grassroots movement against the chosen nominee and his abusive surrogates. It inspires me to fight for true democracy.
KC
I agree with you.
I was devoted to this party and looked forward to this year. I could have voted for someone besides Hillary like Biden or someone else with experience but not Obama and the way he was selected.
I don’t recognize the democrat party anymore!
I’m never coming back after what they pulled this year.
The FDR/Reagan/Clinton Democrats are leaving and there is nothing the thugs and cheats can do to stop it.
I have 99 reasons why I won’t vote for Obama and race isn’t one of them… The main thing that the news people and the elected officials don’t get is that we do not support Senator Obama for President because he is not qualified for the job.
I have some of the reasons why listed below.
According to the records, he has missed over 40% of his votes in the Senate. He does not take a stand on anything that is politically risky and requires moral courage.
When he was in the Illinois State Legislature he voted “present” 130 times, once again showing that he will not take a stand on controversial issues.
He, with his wife and children, belonged to a divisive and racist church for over 20 years and only renounced the church and Reverend Wright when it was politically critical for him to do so.
Senator Obama says he barely knows Tony Rezko and that he wasn’t the man he knew. But the facts are that convicted criminal Tony Rezko helped him buy a house, he received $250K in campaign contributions and allowed Rezko’s slum holes to flourish in his State Senate district while likewise claiming ignorance. Senator Obama expects us, the American people, to believe him when says he barely knows the man and only did five hours of work for him years ago.
I will not even delve into his long working relationship with the man from the Weather Underground, ex-terrorist Bill Ayers, which he has likewise downplayed and/or denied.
This is a man with a questionable record on women’s rights, voting ‘present’ numerous times, who has also said “many pro-choice Democrats don’t understand that abortion is a wrenching moral issue.” Really? How insulting.
This is a Democrat who campaigns in South Carolina with Donnie McClurkin, an “ex-gay” man “reformed through prayer.” I wonder to whom Senator Obama was pandering in that state.
This is a man who runs slightly to the left of Hillary Clinton only to flip flop on every position he originally took including: public financing, FISA, his positions of Iraq withdrawal, the Iran threat, Israel, NAFTA and more.
Senator Obama is a man who insults the Bill Clinton presidency, a time of peace and prosperity, while extolling virtues of the disastrous Reaganomics. He calls himself a Democrat?
Most devastating, Senator Obama is a man who, together with his campaign manager and surrogates advantages themselves at every opportunity by playing the race card unjustly.
Senator Obama is the product of splendid marketing and nothing more. Even MoveOn.Org, naively endorsing him without vetting his true positions, is starting to turn on him — realizing that, they too, have served their purpose and are now going to be thrown under the bus, as he must move to the center to shore up his flagging presidential bid, as his initial “American Idol” appeal is now waning.
Therefore, please, do all of us ‘bitter’ voters a favor and stop mischaracterizing our motives. Some of us actually have principles and put our country before our party. We care deeply about America and about our fellow citizens of every background. We would like a person of solid character with a consistent record and sensible, coherent policies to lead our nation. Someone with a 35 year history of working for the rights of children, women, veterans’ benefits, first responders, health care and education. A candidate who will take a tough stand on the issues and have the courage of his or her convictions.
For your information, I have just described Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
I give credit for the content of my comment to PUMA - thank you.
Now, a question to Obama supporter: Please list his qualifications and tell me what makes him a stronger candidate than Sen. Clinton.
He’s a stronger candidate because he’s the one who will be, you know, on the ballot. You’re not s strong candidate if you’re not on the ballot.
We’ll see what happens when the whitey tape is released. Oh yeah, baby. you can count on it.
Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, give us the whitey tape now. We can’t take anymore of him!
I got lots of whitey tapes at my AZ ranch…..chillin in my scivvies by the pool, my little tart Cindy bringing me beers…I’ll show ‘em anytime!
John, Love that joke of yours!
The one the Obamabots are also quoting here…
Q: Why are the Obama girls so ugly?
A: Because Donna Brazille is their father.
LMOA!!!
Actually, that fraud he committed in Michigan where he took his name off of the ballot and received “uncommitted” delegates and 5 of Hillary’s worked pretty good for him!
You are an idiot. Sorry I usually would have more to say. But no, thats it.
Just an Idiot.
losers get on the ballot dearie so they can lose. duh!
How do you know he will be on the ballot? The votes haven’t been cast yet…you know…in order to actually WIN the nomination, you know? You know… that Super Delegates and Pledged Delegates are free to vote for whomever they choose, you know? You know, Pledged Delegates can even change their votes from the candidate they actually “PLedged” to vote for, you know? You know, the first vote for the nominee is cast in private/secret, you know?
You know, Obamarrhoid is NOT the nominee, you know? Understand?
“I have 99 reasons why I won’t vote for Obama and race isn’t one of them… ”
Oo….good one, Wandot!!
A little more on Obama’s background.
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/06/surprise-obamas-first-public-speech.html
Senator John McCain is the candidate we know… And, looks very attractive… When compared to Che-O… I will proudly vote for Senator McCain, in an effort to defeat Barack H. Obama….
Clinton or McCain… NOBAMA, EVER !
No, McCain is NOT an acceptable candidate, and that’s the problem, isn’t it?
This backdoor attempt to appear neutral, or a democrat, while supporting McCain smacks of sophistry, don’t waste my time.
At least be upfront…
“McCain is NOT an acceptable candidate”
Apparently, many many many many many many many (did I say many) Democrats disagree with you. If you don’t want your time wasted, then stop lurking and posting here. Jeez, how hard is that.
peter and why isn’t McCain acceptable? because you say so? I know McCain will do right by our country and our people, I know obama won’t he doesn’t have a record of doing so, he is an arrogant, non-qualified opportunist who is in it strictly for himself. Excelon ring a bell? NAFTA ring a bell? Iraq, ring a bell? FISA ring a bell? cheney’s energy bill ring a bell? Rev. Wright, Meeks, Phleger, Ayer’s, Rezko, Auchi ring a bell? LIE AFTER LIE ring a bell?
Peter you have no credibility, your candidate is a fraud and he will not win the general if I or millions of others have anything to say about it.
McCain is a true American hero. I thought he was a much better choice than Bush in 2000
He is a maverick and independent and pisses off the far right which makes it easy for me as a Clinton moderate to vote for him.
Have you forgotten Peter that John Kerry begged him to be his running mate in 2004? a heart beat away from the Whitehouse!! and to show you what a good man Sen. McCain is do you remember he spoke
very well of Sen. Kerry and defended him against
the swift boaters! unlike Sen Kerry who was on the tv news shows talking bad about Sen. McCain
and not one person asked him if he was so bad why did he want Sen. McCain as his Vice President.
Amen, I will never vote for Obama.
SenatorClinto please run with this warple.
Does Mr. Shapiro realize that most of us won’t be seeing any coverage of the Hillary / BO shows because we no longer watch the Kool-Aid drinking MSM?
WE WILL REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER
McCain ‘08 (no matter who the dem VP is… or… who or what the dem party, DNC and MSM tries to shove down our throats)
The DNC selects Obama to be the candidate and silences Hillary and Bill
using the race card……..take a look at this video….who is the real
racist.
http://obamacom.blogspot.com/2008/04/obama-quotes-two-worlds-of-obama_5320.html
She is full of hate. That is why she had nothing to say of substance. Just looking to put people down that have a different opinion from hers.Or maybe she is a he??????
I am sure that Hillary gets some sort of quid pro quo for her going out on the stump in terms of money going towards retiring campaign dept.
The fact of that matter is that the fate of the nation and civilization depends upon us…our efforts to organize and to continue to fight against this fascist obamination on as many levels as possible.
It is vital that any effort be rooted in the basic understanding of what is really going on here that this is a coup against the United States, Obama is the next 9/11 put forth by the financial oligarchy to
wreck this country as directed by the Rockefeller Trilateralist with Brzezinski pulling the strings on his puppet and protege from Columbia, Obama.
Remember Democrats this is about fighting for the nomination until the convention with the option of leaving the party and voting for Nader, Mckinney, Barr or McCain in the general election.
This fight in the Democratic Party is about fighting for the revival of the tradition of FDR as the only means of saving the productive capabilities of this nation, its people first. As such this is where Hillary was becoming alive as she began to make her transformation in character and as a potential policy maker towards defending the general welfare before the welfare of the bankers.
With Barkey it is guaranteed he will make you sacrifice for Wall Street.
No more food, gas nor oil to keep your houses warm…just coronations for king Obama smoking crack at the White House while America dies fighting amongst each other for crumbs with no strong leadership to take us out of the mess.
Look for creeping plans that will start to privatize Social Security
Green taxes this way and that- Scams from the sick Al Gore…
Look for new taxation under REPARATIONS settlements that will make us all slaves.
Look for the draft give the extra 100,000 soldiers barkey wants fighting for him, to fight wars in Africa…troops partially out of Iraq to go to Sudan and Zimbabwe…
Obama was chosen precisely because he will bring the greatest potential for chaos and unrest. His resume is known… but he was brought in anyways…
The issue ultimately is not about this puppet, it is about what stands behind him-Wall Street and London oligarchs of financial hegemony and your slavery that wish to destroy this country as a strong independent nation.
As such we must recognize the problems we face in today’s world financial meltdown crisis and look to what FDR did as the only viable solution for the solution that Obama provides is fascism and that means that the nation becomes a concentration camp in essence with all of Bush’s unitary executive powers in place, Obama, utilizing left cover and a Democratic Congress that has drunk the kool aide that Olbermann dispenses…we are in big trouble.
I think there’s much truth to what you say, Leibniz08
Even the MSM have pointed out that his rhetoric is a creation of the Axelrod firm. Nothing about Barky is true. He’s a monstrosity, in the true meaning of that word.
Obama is a political obamaaanation.
I do believe that this shifty character has been chosen because the DNC believes that he can be manipulated. Perhaps he can –
But he is not completely stupid — he may have his own plans and he will do whatever it takes. He loves power and he loves to manipulate people — while pretending he is above the crowd. He is a passive aggressive — and he understands aggression and delights in what his fools do for him. In this aspect he is much like GWB — they are twins.
If one is stone cold logical and makes an objective list of the pros and cons of voting for Obama — his negatives would win.
He has no moral core — who knows what he really believes in. We do know that he managed to work his way to the top tier of the Chicago political machine — which in itself is a major reason NOT to vote for him.
I really do feel sorry for the AA voters who have put their faith and trust in this con man — they will be the big losers. However, this is what happens when racism chooses a candidate.
For the stupid women who vote for Obama - I have no pity for you idiots. You get what you deserve.
not only will I not be voting for obozo, I can’t vote at all this cycle. Being African American, I simply cannot give my vote to mcshame, as I believe the rnc to be racist to the core. so I must sit this one out.
Yo Rabbit
Show me one instance where McCain is a racist!
Maybe it’s you that the racist!
MCCAIN is not a racist. If you did not know his adopted youngest daughter is BLACK and they have had her since she was a baby.
The adopted daughter is Indian, I believe.
Which is why I was surprised that McCain campaigned for George “Macaca” Allen…but I see why now.
To be a part of the party you have to play the party’s game.
But McCain doesn’t strike me as racist. Allen is a racist.
“Virtually all of them will be voting for Obama, whether they know it now or not.”
LOL! Aren’t they complete self-important idiots? I guess he is so much smarter than we are about our own interior lives. I actually LOVE that they keep underestimating us–it will make it easier for to ambush them. It just amazes me that they are so drunk on their arrogance and condescension that they just cannot stop swimming in it.
No problem. What they think is completely irrelevant. We know who we are, and why we are conscientious objectors.
As an old Indian wise man used to say: “Let the dogs bark.”
Well, you’re not going to vote for Obama, that’s for sure.
But you are quite in the minority. That’s clear from all the recent polls. The number of Clinton supporters who say they’re voting for McCain has dropped a lot already and it’s only been 17 days since Clinton endorsed Obama.
Sure we are. Keep clicking your heels, Dorothy.
You must be looking at the same polls that say Obama is winning by 15………HAHAHAHAHAHA
“all the polls?” And we know how reliable those are huh? I guess you missed the poll be WAPO/ABC last week that confirms that 25% of HRC supporters will vote for McCain, and another 18% will stay home.
Again, it doesn’t matter what you “think.” It doesn’t even matter “what everyone else is doing.” I will vote my conscience and never support an illegitimate candidate and the corrupt DNC.
may i suggest less koolaid and more reality.
“Virtually all of them will be voting for Obama, whether they know it now or not.”
The only way this can happen is if they’ve already rigged the voting machines. Hmmm… well, they’re not above it that’s for sure.
Believe, I do believe that you are wrong I called the DNC months ago to take my name off lists, that
now will be a independent,but I’m still getting
phone calls,emails and mail from the post office
BEGGING me for money if everything was so good why
are they still begging for money? Had to tell
Obama’s people on the phone yesterday 2 times will not be giving any money and will be voting for Sen McCain, and to please take my name off their lists that I had voted for, given money to
most Democratic canididates but for the way Obama
has treated, will no longer give any money
to any Democrat who helped in swift boating Hillary!!
If Obama’s such a weak candidate, why is Republican Senator Smith of Oregon running ads touting that he worked with Obama?
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/Color_Oregon_blue.html
Looks like Smith expects Obama to win his state.
Oh, and the LA Times poll, a more recent one than the one cited here, has 11% of Clinton supporters saying they’d vote for McCain.
believe,
I guess Smith thinks Obama will put on another concert on election day and 75,000 people will show up to see the Decemberists and will fall into the voting booth in a drunken weed induced haze and pull the lever for him.
Go peddle Obama crap somewhere else. When you lay down with dogs…..
JUST SAY NO TO BLACK LIBERATION MARXIST THEOLOGY
NO OBAMA
MCCAIN 2008 OR UNTIL HILLARY RISES
You’re right. Obama will lose Oregon because you want him to. That makes more sense.
Oh, Adam. You must be new here.
Oh, grlpatriot. You must think that means something.
When was the last time Oregon voted for a Republican for President? LOL You see it is PA, FL, OH, MI, that will choose the President and how many of those do you really believe will vote for obama, not OH or FL, PA maybe because of Rendell but not sure it was really close in 04…MI wow after what obama and the DNC pulled once people realize that I don’t think there will be a chance in hell obama wins it. I don’t believe obama will win MO, nor will he win CO like everyone wants to believe, or NV.
As far as the polls? how many times has the polls been accurate? they are deliberately being skewed to favor one over the other, IMO it is so the SD don’t change their mind in August and obama becomes the nominee, corporations are run by the Repubs and they have always wanted obama because they know they can beat him, why? because he has made it EASY FOR THEM.
LA Times has been in the tank for Obama all along, and has been wrong on many predictions. Cherry pick ‘em all you want. The 527’s haven’t even started on the Precious One yet.

Although I don’t agree with the use of your lingo, I will be the first to defend it. I understand it and I saw no harm in the way you wrote it. When I am texting I do what you have done and use short cuts to get my message across.
Some people don’t understand that culture. We all have faults. Just look at the Obots!
Obamabots just don’t get it.
Who’s not voting for Obama?
How about all the 100 people that work in my manufacturing plant that were for Hillary.
How about most of the Catholics at my church who were for Hillary that feel that Obama doesn’t represent their values.
How about all my Hispanic friends who can’t relate to his black liberation theology and ghetto culture.
How about most people in my neighborhood that are petrified of having their taxes raised in a recession.
How about all the women including my wife who feel that he along with his followers are sexist pigs.
How about all the proud patriotic Americans who want a strong foreign policy and reject Anti-Americanism.
I’m sure a lot of the people YOU know don’t like Obama. But they’re hardly representative of Clinton voters.
I know thousands of people all over this great country.
You don’t know squat asshole!
You’re right…I know you! We took a limo ride that one time!

Hey believe-
If you are so certain your messiah has it all rapped up, you want to believe the polls, then why are you hear trying to convince us of how great your king is?
He is a marxist, quasi christian, racist, antisemetic, dishonest, loser. Need I say more? Don’t worry about it. You have it in the bag. Just leave this site to all of its scorned angry racists uneducated registered voters and don’t give it another thought. GOOD DAY………
We ARE the Clinton voters!! You think we don’t know ourselves???
Never mind. I’m arguing with single-cells again.
Believe:
Maybe they’re more like me; a 40 year Democrat, voted both times for Bill, have always respected and supported Hillary (I have a letter she sent personally thanking me for a letter to the editor of the SF Chronicle published in 1992 during the first campaign)and supported her current candidacy. My family have been Democrats since the Civil War. All of them.
As a result of the Obama/Dean/Pelosi/Reid/Brasile DNC debacle, I am now an Independent. I will not vote for Obama no matter who is his VP choice. I’ve had it and there’s no going back. Think we’re not serious? You’re simply uninformed.
Well, Mr Shapiro, I never vote when Whole Foods is having a sale…Especially if it’s on arugula…
But seriously, I will get over this silliness of mine about Obama. As soon as I get over about the silliness about Gore in 2000.

At first, I didn’t know what to make of him (me being an atheist and all) but I’ve arrived at the conclusion that Reverend Manning is a cool and funky sort of guy.
There is alot of time between now and November.
Sucks for you, ’cause she’s still gonna ask.
All I have to say about asking me to change my mind and vote Obama is: NoBama! I’ve raised my children and I don’t have time for the President to grow up in White House. I am not mad that Hillary lost the nomination but I am very concerned about my country.
First: if the Democrats think it’s just the women that are not considering voting for Obama they forgot to ask my husband (and this family prays and votes together).
Second: if they’re just counting the Democratic primary votes I think they are forgetting that a lot of Republican families came out in support of Hillary.
Third: If the Democrats think that we women are just mad and we’ll get over it then they should remember the old saying “Hell hath no fury like a women scorned!” That my friends is the truth, just ask my husband.
Thought of this one myself a while back, and have seen it on other blogs, but may bear repeating when you hear some endorsements for Unity:
“Raymond Shaw is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life.”
- spoken by Bennett Marco(the Frank Sinatra character) and others in his Army Company in the movie/Richard Condon book…
No real Obama supporter would say anything like that. We all know that he is an imperfect human being.
Why do you anti-Obama folks keep claiming we think otherwise?
What is your definition of imperfect? Don’t you mean indifferent?
Do you notice how he says, “whether they no it or not” (they’ll be voting for Obama). That is exactly why I will go out to vote for McCain. I do not trust dems or repuplicans with a blank spot on the POTUS part of the ballot! Next thing you know, if you stay home, you’ll find out you actually cast a vote for Barky! Not me. I am not taking that chance. 100% anti-Obama. I would vote for any of the other dems, just give me something, but I will never vote Obama! Never!
If these dumb@sses would realize that the issues don’t matter because you can’t trust Obama to do anything about anything anyway, they’d start to realize alot of us are not going to come around. No matter what Hillary does either. It is her job, she has to go along with it. Me? I can do whatever the hell I please. Although votes are private (so far) and so I wouldn’t be surprised if in the end, Hillary, Bill and chelsea don’t write Hillary in or vote for McCain as well!
It sounds like the Obama camp goes by the motto: “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission”
Unfortunately that type of thinking also leads to abuse. Think of what the Obama camp has done to Hillary the last 6 months. All the while the Obama and DNC saying to themselves ‘the Hillary supporters will forgive us and come home’
Oh for heaven’s sake. Can’t you ever write anything without some nickname or name-calling?
I will NEVER vote for nobama..NEVER, NEVER, NEVER…
the author of this all-knowing and self-important article does not know what he is talking about. To draw on his-tory is a mistake…this election is not like any other.
Nov 4th…I’m Republican for a day if nobama is the nominee. You can take that to the bank. Country before party…
Yellow Dog Democrat from GA (and my 85 y/o mama too!)

ANYONE KNOW HOW TO COOK THIS THING?
I’ve been trying to cook the thing that Barack Obama was toutin’ the other day, this here
Vero Possummus. I hear about it and it sounded so tastey I thot I’d try it fer dinner.
So I just took the Baked Verro Possummus out of the oven…
Maybe I didn’t cook it right, I don’t know… I had it in there for two hours but it still looks underdone. I mean, it’s black on the outside, well, sorta more high yella in color, and
inside it’s white, but then… when ya try to cut down to the middle of it there’s just this big
hollow empty nothin’… so it ain’t exactly gonna fill us all up. I don’t know.
I tried a slice of the possummus but it tasted kinda weak. i just hate to throw it away cuz I
paid so goddurn much fer it. Does anyone know how to cook this here Verro Possummus?
_______________-
baste with a lotta crap , flip or flop as desired, boil in hot oil and if that doesn’t work take it back to the South side of Chicago….
____________________________________
Thank you! You’re right! It came with a whole pile of crap in a seperate box. I was readin the
directions and it said after basting it in crap, and there’s an enormous amount of it, to glaze over it while chanting ‘yes, we can’… I don’t know. For desert I’ve got a nice dutch dish -
fflagher in a puff pastry with white sauce and tears. Who’s eatin?
———————
ah, ah, um I will pass on this, I’m sure it’s not tough enough for me and I bet it doesn’t have a backbone does it?
***********************************************************************
Oh, there’s no bones in it, you don’t have to worry about that! There’s certainly no backbone!
In fact, I was so surprised, it’s absolutely spineless! Has a sort of squishy jellyfishy consistentsissy. Are you sure you won’t have some? Alot of other people are eatin’ all up and sayin’ it’s the best thing they’ve ever swallered! And after they eat it they get this funny look in the eye. I don’t know. It sure seems popular!
====================
All you need is the Wright WINE.
*********************************************************
Oh, we’ve got plenty of WHINE. After people eat this thing they start whining about this whining about that. The thing I’ve run out of is Kool-Aid… they’ve just been drinking it all up, I’m all out!
I will never vote for Omarxist and have convinced several friends and family members to not support him also and will redouble my efforts. Many people over 45 do not get their news on the internet and it is up to those of us who do, to pass the news on. I have a 72 year old friend and she is passing along, all that I tell her to her senior friends in rural, Iowa. I have been hearing a lot of stories from elders about dirty tricks in long ago elections. Seniors vote and they “get it” in a way that pampered college kids don’t.
I have a friend who has been in the tank for, Obama and she is devastated by his flip flop on the Fisa bill. I am convinced that his campaign will implode. Every time, one of you loses heart, just call up a senior neighbor, friend or family member and tell them about the news they are not hearing on TV and our numbers will double.
Polls in Iowa look like this today
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/president/ia/iowa_mccain_vs_obama-209.html
How dare you shatter their perception of reality? What gives you the right to come up here with polls that, if you let me remind you, don’t mean anything unless Hillary was winning in them?
You two go some place else and talk amongst yourselves. You’re wasting your time here.
We don’t drink the Kool-Aid here. Peddle your polls and your tricycle on home. It’s after dark, I’m sure someone is looking for you.
Yeah, he should peddle his non-biased polls where they’re accepted. This is a no reality zone.
Walter Shapiro is, as usual, wrong.
There is NOTHING that will induce me to vote for that arrogant, unqualified ass Barack Obama. And his nasty wife. One look at her tells it all: Miss Bad Attitude.
But let them believe what they will. Who cares? They will be in for a surprise in November.
“She’ll come back to me! She will! She’ll come crawling back!”
I will never vote for that Obama and that God Damn America church in inner city Chicago. Obama is not even a US citizen. Why would I vote for him? He is not even a Democrat. He is also out of touch with me and my family. He does not get it. And his wife Michelle is in photographs with Farrakhan’s wife.
A CONVENTION NOT A CORONATION!
Fight on until the roll call vote and win by defeating Obama. Tell every Clinton delegate that they must not capitulate to this fascist coup. Make every delegate of what ever stripe understand that we will never vote for
this- who is patently unelectable.
Remember rogue 527’s under Rove’s direction are gassed up and ready to hit prime time with what is sadly the truth about Obama and his gang…
Get the scandals out now…challenge Obama’s left cover…as he turns right on the issues…
Here’s someone with some sense:
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/opinion/op_ed/view/2008_06_24_Sealed_with_diss_for_democracy:_Obama_era_begins_prematurely/
Obama’s so scary that REPUBLICAN SENATOR SMITH of Oregon is running ads about how he worked with Obama.
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0608/Color_Oregon_blue.html
And the LA Times poll has 11% of Clinton supporters going for McCain.
Obama should be doing much better in Oregon.
The democrat running against Smith doesn’t have a chance now.
Obama should be doing much better in Oregon. The fact that he is not is bellwether of how he will do elsewhere.
The democrat running against Smith doesn’t have a chance now.
The Democrat running against Smith is rapidly closing the gap http://www.pollster.com/08-OR-Sen-GE-SvM.php
And why would Smith run that ad with Obama unless Obama was doing very well there — which he is.
http://www.pollster.com/08-OR-Pres-GE-MvO.php
The salon “reporter” is delusional. He is sticking his fingers in his ears and humming a happy tune.
We know what took place here. We know that the DNC is totally corrupted with its flawed candidate. We understood this in 2000 and 2004 and we understand it in 2008.
My vote is my voice. I am speaking out against the corrupted DNC and its flawed candidate by voting for McCain.
PUMA
An historical post on the statistics of polls that indicate voters will not support a candidate before the GE and then do support the candidate in the GE would be useful. It would be nice to see if naive voters actually get their sh!t together and slap down both parties. Most articles (and Obama drones) are correct…. statistically, most voters do vote party line. Indies that lean Dem vote Dem, and Indies that lean Rep vote Rep. Party registration does not matter, because statistically, voters wimp out and refuse to research a candidate.
Statistically…. it is time for the Repubs to be out of office. Get pissed if you want, but, as it stands now, the cretin Obama has the statistically best chance to get elected.
Based on this site, there is not enough to keep Obama from getting elected. If all of the media (except Hannity) continues to dry hump Obama’s leg, we will be stuck with him in the WH. I will do my part to prevent this by voting for McCain, BUT statistically speaking, most people wimp out.
I know the third party candidates have been all but invisible. They may siphon off just enough votes to make the difference. Remember, Nader received quite a small percentage of actual votes and wasn’t on the ballot in all states. Still, he managed to make quite a bit of difference.
My view is that the media, now that they’ve anointed their desired candidate, will constantly tell the public that all polls are for Obama and that all Hillary voters have “come home”. I don’t believe they’ll turn on Obama because they want him to win.
Just as they preferred Bush over Gore.
If Obama wins, and it’s not out of the question, the real work comes in holding his feet to the fire to stop his constant change of positions. IMHO.
He isn’t going to win, and if he did the likes of you or all the blogger boys will never be able to hold his feet to the fire. I remember that line from last Feb., I knew you were fooling yourself then and I know it now.
You are a fool if you think any thing you alone or even millions of you will have any impact on the Obama Combine once it gets into power.
If Obama Combine does get into power all the good things in life will be held for the few who are connected. It may take a few generations but the rest of us will be living in replicas of Chicago’s South Side Slums.
Maybe not a few generations, didn’t Chris Dodd get 30,000 bonus for his mortgage and the rest of us got to pay billion dollars out of our own pockets to reimburse the mortgage company?
Betty,
I have a suggestion. Go read the declaration of independance. besides the literal, there is a meaning behind those words. It is about the right to revolt, the obligation we have to fight oppression. Adams, Jefferson and Franklin were not just writing about england, they were writing about all oppression, and all oppressive governments, and they were not just writing for their time but for all time. Read some of John Adams other writings, he makes a pretty strong legal case for revolt.
Gosh I had a brother named Kevin, he passed away a long time ago.
I know about the right to rebel, I also know that the circumstances (distance from England, philosophy of the founding fathers, and a host of other threads)that wove together to prompt the American revolution and the establishment of our democracy were almost magical. Will those threads come together again any time soon if they are torn apart? I don’t know.
I say the things I do because if there really are paid people out there who work to destroy any conversation about issues I would like them to know what they may be condemning their children and grandchildren to. And if the paid people are from another country, as some say, I would like them to know our democracy is their best hope, and if they take us down they will be left with nothing and no hope.
Because Obama doesn’t care - just go look at a picture of a Rezko slum.
Like I said elsewhere today, that the Clinton’s would hitch their wagon to this idiot shows that even the Clinton’s are part of the coup and willing to fall on their swords for the party. It is truly sad that this is what Bill and Hillary have become.
As unfortunate and dissappointing as that is, Hussein Obama should not be president under any circumstances. That the DNC would align behind themselves not just of a candidate, but the whole criminal enterprise that is Chicago politics shows how low American politics has gone.
Hillary and Bill are part of the coup against themselves! I can’t believe Hillary could have done this. Hillary is sexist and not fair to herself!
Nahhhhh….think more like Bush/McCain in 2000, after the Bush people took the low road in SC with McCain. Instead of going full out on Bush for being the piece of shit that he was, he went and gave him his support and made a few appearances with him.
We don’t need another piece of shit in the Oval Office.
I agree. Hillary’s missed a chance to show true leadership

I think people only need to look at how many anti-Obama sites have cropped up to see that disenchantment has definitely set in. I personally don’t see what in hell anyone sees in Obama. He’s an arrogant, power hungry egotistical jackass, but I guess some people like that in a man. I do not. And this 34 year Democrat is yet another that will vote for McCain. At least I know what I am getting with him.
The Clintons are playing the part. You don’t really believe for a minute that they would REALLY support this disaster otherwise known as Obama?
As Larry says: PATIENCE.
OK, so by issuing statements of support and campaigning with Obama, this is super-secret pretend opposition to Obama?
Patience for what? The Clintons may not REALLY support them but she’ll be the good sport and make some appearances with him. Let’s face it. Clinton is plan B in case Hussein Obama does fizzle out. The DNC may be hitching their trailer to this idiot but he’s a terribly flawed candidate.
People say I hate Obama, that is not true, I do not like him enough to hate him. A person earns respect and he has done absolutely nothing to earn respect. His policies are flawed and he would tax us so hard it would take a sharp hard cut into our incomes and even our saving for retirement. Obama is a very flawed candidate and one I would never cast a vote for. I am also from Florida and will not forget what he has done to this state by refusing to stand up for our rights until he felt it would benefit him. I was a democrat until the day they made the decision on Florida and Michigan as most of my family are still in Michigan and that night when they took Hillary’s delegates and gave them to Obama, I left the party and so did hundreds of my relatives and friends. We will NOT forget, we will not vote for Obama and we will hold this up in our hearts for a very, very long time. No Obama 08, we do not need another flip flopping Kerry candidate. Remember, it is all about him and no one but him. McCain 08 Hillary 2012
Love that phrase……..hold this in my heart for a long, long time. I will not forget and will work in the future to defeat Obama supporters as much as I can, beginning with my Senator, Bobby Casey. 2012 can’t come soon enough.
Here Here!
Let’s not forget Rep. Patrick Murphy either!
Walter Shapiro has it all wrong. The more Obama says I will vote for him, the more determined I am not to do so. Love and respect the Clintons, both of them , but I cannot vote for the O guy. It is truly beyond Hillary now..I am furious, disgusted, disappointed and determined not to support the DNC while this crowd is in control. No Obama all the way. I WILL vote McCain.
I want Hillary to be President. In order for that to happen, Obama must lose to John McCain!
I think that every democrat was afraid to attack Obama because of the perception of racism. Bill Clinton called Obama’s voting record a “fairytale” and Donna Brazille and other blacks and the media turned it into a racial epithet.
If Hillary had brought up Wright before Iowa and Black Liberation Theology and Bill Ayres and Rezko, she would have been labeled a racist!
The media did not and will not vet him because they fear being called racist as well.
The Republicans, however, do not need the AA vote! Karl Rove will be Obama worst nightmare!
THEY DON’T GET IT
Mr. Shapiro, Obama, the DNC, the MSM, and the trolls just don’t get it. They hear what we are saying but they do not believe people who voted for Hillary Clinton have the brains and character to put democracy before party.
They don’t get that the reasons Obama and the DNC have given us to NEVER vote for Obama are too numerous to list in one place.
They don’t get that no candidate, even one as great as Hillary Clinton, could harden our resolve as much as the DNC and Obama have themselves.
They don’t get that it takes something monumental to bring millions of people together in revolt. We aren’t petulant or peevish or sulking because we didn’t get our way. We are resolved in our convictions.
They can’t get us back with sweet talk, empty promises, or treating us like children by telling us to “get over it”.
They aren’t going to get us back unless they make it right. They can’t make it right by promising to do better in the future. That’s why I couldn’t sign the pledge - you can’t patch decay and expect it to get healthy. There is only one way they can make it right.
They can’t make it right by putting Hillary on the ticket, unless it is for President. I greatly admire and respect Hillary, Bill and Chelsea but they could put all three of them on the ticket for VP it still wouldn’t make it right. There is only one way to make it right.
The day the DNC took votes away from Hillary and gave them to Obama is the day they lost most of us. We have found out much since, which has hardened our resolve and grown our coalition. But the day Obama lost my vote forever came even before we realized democracy was slipping away - it was the day he made fun of Hillary. That one incident showed his true character and his lack of respect for not only women, but all people. Look at all those he has thrown under his bus since.
They don’t get it. That is to our advantage. They will either waste their time and money trying to bring us back or they will write us off as so few it won’t make a difference.
They don’t get it. They may finally get it in November. Ooops! Now who is under the bus?
Obama will waste his money on meaningless generic ads. As he did it in so many states where Hillary won with soooo much less money.
They don’t know we are gone.
When I see things like this (Shapiro’a article)it makes me more determined not to vote for Obama. At first I was going to write Hillary in but that would be a wasted vote. I am usually very perceptive and I am very concerned regarding Obama winning. I would have never thought I would ever vote Republican. I live in Florida and have woke up every morning for eight years waiting for this election, this was to be our year. I still think I’m in a nightmare that,this is what the DNC has come to.
Alice Paul
I am honored that you have reincarnated! I hope your work will not be as challenging as it was in the old days. Don’t pay too much attention to Mr. Shapiro: he’s a eunuch with bad breath and wears a big hole in his pants that reveals his penile implant. He’s to be pitied!
Thank you. Seems your the only one who knew her! That’s a pity we should all know our political history.
I pray for her to channel her energy because I think there is something in the air!!!!! You know I believe the convention is around the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment.
Maybe some meaning there you never know?
Alice Paul was one of the most stalwart and dedicated suffragists. She accomplished a great deal and was far ahead of her time. Thanks for keeping her memory alive.
Shapiro is as arrogant as his Master Obama. Both of them with morose satisfaction, relish their hatred of women. Shapiro holds in great contempt the menopausal woman, perhaps because his religious beliefs consider women an unclean, bleeding ulcer of a species that should not be touched unless the cleansing of ritual mikvah has been observed. Shapiro most likely lurks around women’s toiletries and underwear, sniffing for the very scent that causes him to write vile missives against the female sex. His overwhelming urge for the female odor enthralls him so that he is secretly disgusted with himself; he can find no peace unless he sits for hours upon hours at his computer frequenting sites that conflict with his orthodox purity! “I must distract myself from this SIN!” he says as he rubs his hands together, all the while twitching and pulling on his penile implant!
Looks like even the big dawg is having problems
getting onboard.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two weeks after his wife ended her White House bid, former Democratic President Bill Clinton offered a faint voice of support for Barack Obama — through a spokesman.
Clinton, who gave the Democratic presidential candidate’s energy policy faint praise over the weekend, has not yet said in public that he would support Obama.
“President Clinton is obviously committed to doing whatever he can and is asked to do to ensure Senator Obama is the next president of the United States,” Clinton’s spokesman Matt McKenna told Reuters in a one-sentence e-mail.
He gave no further details.
On Sunday, Bill Clinton made his first public address since his wife ended her presidential campaign on June 7 after Obama clinched enough support to be the Democratic nominee in the November election.
The only time he mentioned Obama during a speech to the U.S. Conference of Mayors was when Clinton said he preferred the Democrats’ energy policy to that of Republican rival John McCain.
The former first lady has endorsed Obama, urged her supporters to rally behind him and is scheduled to campaign with him on Friday in Unity, New Hampshire.
But her husband, the last Democrat to be U.S. president, has not yet done so and ignored journalists on Sunday when asked when he might publicly endorse Obama.
I love Hillary to death. But this is the only thing that I can’t do for her.
I’m really really sorry Hillary.
But NObama.
It looks like Obama is heading to hollywood for support now… He’s accepted almost $4M from actors/etc thus far
http://www.obama-wire.com/ has a couple good stories on this development.
Again Folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UNITY NH !!!!!!!!!!!!
okay here are the details:
Unity NH, Unity Elementary School, 6/27/08, 12:00
Unity is right off of I91 which makes it a reasonable trip from Springfield MA, Boston Ma, Hartford CT, Albany NY, and of course parts of NH and VT. You can map quest it and simply put in Unity Elementary School in place of “business” Unity is a town of only 1,700 so I doubt that there will be a crowd of 10,000. A couple hundred Puma’s would make the news and the place will be crawling with national media because this the first appearance of Hillary and Obama together. If only handful of us show up it will be dismissed, no doubt, as those disgruntled people, but if a few hundred show up……….
So who’s up for this? Bring a pair of flip flops.
I really wish I could go to this event in Unity..alas, I live on the West Coast..by the way, who’s lame idea was it to have it in Unity, NH?? The same person who thought up the seal? Do they think we’ll say, ahh, how cute! Unity, NH! Forget his lack of experience, the lies, the cheating and the sexism…they’re having a rally in Unity ahh…pass me tissue.
Come on anyone knowing the right paeople can get waht ever they want done,Including a birth certifcate.
As fa r as supporting Obama,I will never support Obama!I am now going to John McCain.The thing is we saw and heard all in this presidenila race -The bad treatment of the democratic party who did Hillary and her supporters wrong and all the lies that Obama send out by emails on Hilary senate work saying he did this in whicj he took and put one mail waht Hilalry did as his. http://www.factheck.org I don’t like having my vote or will stolen by the democratic party.I don’t like someone who can not stand up for the will of the people.The democratic pparty and yes Obama had this election plan.We are ther people of america and we are the people who has a voice-a will -and a vote in which we got none of those.
I am standing up for my will and vote as well as right.I am not going to fall in line lay down shut up and take what the democractic party and Obama wants.! NEVER.
NO SPEECH- NOTHING WILL NEVER CHANGE MY MIND!
Mcain will be my choice now.I am sick of waiting a hearing all this BS.
The blogs are read and yes that’s where they get the information on what people are saying and that’s when the democratic party gets their next dirty tricks.I am no longer hanging around.
Obama has to many bad judgements.He flips and flops.What is more important going with a no subtance-a flip floper -a person with such bad judgements or going with a democratic party leaders who also is bad as the bad judgenment guy who will not get their head out of the sand for their own agenda in controling and not protecting the will-roghts-and votes of the people.And democratic party wanted and not the people?
Or stand up for our right’s in making sure that the democratic aprty or anyone else takes our will-votes-right’s away as americans of the united states of america?
No Obama -No democratic party in taken the right’s-votes-will just to win at all cost!
no my country and the right’s of free will and our votes are more important and means so much for the people and our country then a democratic party who who choose to plan this election and take the will of the people.I will not shut up,sit down and take it up the ass!
Mccain 08
Hillary yes only if she was going to Denver.But something osmeones will not let that happen.So I not will go McCain to fight for him and our country.
thank you, medusa. this shapiro character is truly delusional.
First Shapiro claims to know what we’re thinking then tonight on Greta, Pelosi claims she doesn’t know we’re thinking at all.
Greta asked her about Hillary’s supporters declining to vote for Obama and said that the email she is getting is amazing and that we are really angry. Pelosi has the gall to say: “What are they angry at?” and again with the McCain doesn’t support equal pay…
She supposedly is sooooo busy with other things..getting Dems elected, re-elected. Ha! Have we got news for you!
Keep it up Nancy. You’ll be out of office soon enough. Many in CA will no longer vote for you whether it’s because of your DNC debacle or “Impeachment is off the table.” And it can’t be soon enough for me.
Mr. Shapiro is an idiot. I will NEVER vote for nobama. I don’t care if God himself comes down and begs me to vote for him. A vote for nobama is a vote against America and all She stands for.
The Democratic party can kiss my lily white ass. I have switched to the Republican party. The more I see of these morons the more an across the board Republican ticket vote sounds like a good thing. Holy crap as a life long democrat I thought I would never,never feel this way, but America and our freedoms are to important to me.
BELIEVE IS A TROLL!!!!!!
Yeah it’s a nauseating thought all right. She’s betrayed and turned her back on her 18,000,000 cracks.
LOL
Amazing year! Whoever would have envisioned life long Democrats helping to elect a Republican President to bring democracy back to the “Democratic” Party?
Dean, Brazile, and the likes of Kerry and Pelosi must be shown that real Dems want them out, sooner than later. There are only 2 things they understand, money and power. I am now contributing only to retire Hillary’s debt and to John McCain. That’s the money angle, and I think from the May figures for McCain and Obama, it’s clear that many others are doing the same.
My vote for John McCain and for all the down ticket Repubs whose opponents support Obama will add to the millions who feel as I do, and hopefully keep the power out of the hands of Obama and his thugs. Please do not sit home or write Hillary’s name in or vote third party. The only way to crush the elitist left wing of the Democratic Party is by participating in a resounding victory for McCain.
PUMA.
President Kerry on his worst day was not half as arrogant, controversial and divisive as Barack Obama on his best day.
Oh, sorry, it’s not President Kerry. Kerry lost, didn’t he?
Where can we write that idiot? We should deluge him with mail!
If Obama were a viable candidate people would still vote for him. But he is nothing but a liar, a crook, and an anti-American. I don’t know how any true American could vote for him. He does not mean one thing he is promising. It is all just to get elected, then America be damned.
I am 61 years old and have never seen a more crooked politician in my lifetime.
For the first time in my life I will be voting for a Republican!
John McCain will get my vote. (In spite of what the idiots have to say.)
Hillary. Get a grip. Just say no to BO.
Abuse=discounting
remember when he pretended she wasn’t even running?
Remember whenever she’d be doing her speech after each state primary he’d upstage her and come on TV and do his speech?…and the pundits would tune her out and turn to BO?
Abusive.
Why take it.?
NO Way..never vote for this pig Obama.
Why do you have to help this BO loser get votes Hillary?
Can’t he get his own damned vote?
I mean you both have been to every state. Voters know what he is about. Is this even necessary to go to UNITY NH?
He always acted like you didn’t matter…why do you matter now? Why are you being weak and stumping for Obama Hillary?
They robbed you blind and stalled the counting of the votes in MI & FL. Now he’s stalling the birth certificate issue….since he produced a fake Birht certificate..he will just stall it too.
You are turning people off Hillary.
You know he can’t win in November.
Why bother?

I am an ardent supporter of Hillary butI WILL NOT VOTE FOR BO. I don’t care about what are the reasons of Hillary for coming to BO’s side but for me he will not get my vote nor my hard earned penny. He is the most disgusting presidential candidate who has run for office.
Salon has been in the tank for Obama almost since the beginning, just a little more subtly than some others. While Obama has been hijacking the DNC and the party, they’ve written puff pieces.
They used to be good. It’s more disappointing than some.
What’s amazed me is that they ignored the obvious from Day 1. Exit polling was consistent throughout the race. A clear 25-38% of voters told pollsters that they would vote for McCain over Obama.
In state after state. Didn’t matter if you were a Reagan Dem from Ohio or a working gal from WVA.
Now, these editorial writers are feeding off of some silly idea that it’s all about the group of us who are women and mad? Nonsense.
I can’t see a guy from PA particularly getting involved in Just Say No Deal. He’ll just either not vote this year or go vote for McCain.
I think Obama needs to stop worrying about the women entirely and focus on the many other constiuents that he’s pushed away. He botched the wooing of Jewish Dems to the point it could be hopeless. Yesterday’s remark about getting over it may have ticked off some women to the point they are lost. Women get really irked when they hear certain phrases such as that one. It’s sexist.
He should work on the Latinos for awhile. They aren’t exactly in the bag for him.
On the other hand, these editorials are really drawing attention to PUMA.
*woohoo!

I am the owner of the firm that successfully negotiated Saddam’s withdrawal from Kuwait. What we did, essentially, was to put a final and complete end to the Gulf Crisis. Bush, though, had other plans. When we confronted Obama with this information about a year ago by fax letter, he wasn’t interested and REFUSED to reply to us. We are anti-war and so we thought that we would get some response from Obama. We, also, represent China’s current succession Emperor, who is China’s head of state in exile as China’s Emperor. Barack turned both of us down and so we can not see how this man can say what he says about being anti-war.
Every time he is caught in a lie, he never confesses and continues to lie about an incident as if he had no conscience and he tries to twist the truth/allegation!
We find Mr. Sinclair to be most credible and we saw the video of his press conference, where journalist instead of asking questions of Mr. Sinclair in an effort to determine truth, used questions to condemn Mr. Sinclair and they tried to make him look bad!
This can not be, not especially in our nation of upright laws and good people!
For these and many other reasons, Mr. Obama should either explain, relinquish his candidacy, and come clean. Doing so for our nation’s good!

Most people have heard the saying, “You catch more flies with honey (or sugar) than vinegar.” Well, I don’t know what they’re mixing in the Kool-Aid, but I can’t for the life of me figure out why the Obamaniacs keep nastily thumbing their noses and sneering, “You’ll be back!” Most voters, if they had the slightest inclination to do so, would be driven futher away by such insulting, demeaning behavior. Do these commentators believe that we’re barely literate dolts who never read their words? It’s seldom that you read a polite entreaty for disaffected Dems to examine the policy similarities between Hillary and Obama and to please just consider voting for him. No, instead, we’re compared to low-rent whores and round-heeled floosies who tumble into the big bed of the Democratic Party! I’m a senior, and I’ve never seen such a wrong-headed strategy coming from a political campaign! Where else can we go, they appear to ask. Duh! There’s a well-known, seasoned moderate running who probably pleases more Dems than Repubs! And, when it comes to Obama, I don’t know how anyone who’s paying any attention can still support him! He flip-flops almost on a daily basis, and there’s no determining just what power is behind him, pulling strings! Unless these people are planning a coup d’etat, I have no idea how they think they’re going to get BO in the WH! I can’t wait to see the egg-encrusted faces when he loses in a landslide!
Listen guys, Hillary HAS to act like she is fully behind Obama or she risks being blamed for his lose in November. It’s in our best interest, as Hillary supporters, that she “plays the game” and gains the trust of the Obamabots where she can have their mindless support in 2012. Maybe they will be “deprogrammed” by then. So when you hear Hillary or Bill saying nice things about Barry, don’t wig out and think it’s OK to actually support him too. Hillary and Bill will be on the “I Told You So” tour starting this winter. It’s going to be wonderful. Obama will fall into obscurity like his political equals such as George McGovern and Michael Dukakis but only about 10 times worse. Imagine, the guy who lost an UNLOSABLE election. I can’t wait. He deserves all the misery thats coming to him and so does Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi. Obama because he allowed his campaign to push the “Hillary and Bill are racist” stories while denying he was doing so and Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Dean and Pelosi) for allowing it and never once coming to the defense of either Clinton. Also Donna Brazile and James Clyburn have a special seat in hell waiting for them as well for their “race baiting” as well. Saying that they were “undecided” while attacking the Clinton’s made their race baiting have that much more power to the average viewer who wasn’t paying attention on a daily basis and for that they are probably the worst of the people I’ve mentioned. Who in their right mind comes away from hearing Bill Clinton talk about Obama’s position on the Iraq war and likening it to a “fairy tale” says, “thats racist!” Why was it so bad to be compared to Jesse Jackson? The way Obama supporters talked, it was like you just compared Obama to Hitler. President Clinton was only saying that South Carolina could be won and not be a deciding factor. Just like Jesse Jackson in 88. It had nothing to do with Jackson being black. It had to do with Bill knowing that Obama could win South Carolina but Hillary could still win the nomination like Dukakis did. This election season has killed my love of politics. I can only hope four years from now, Hillary can bring it back.
Oh and for PUMA members. Please, if you have donated to Hillary Clinton during the primary, make sure you donate at least one time to John McCain. Send a message to the DNC by showing that we are not all going to “fall in line”. Nothing gets their attention like losing donors. So, even if its five dollars, donate to John McCain. Get your name on both donor list. Also repeat this in comment sections across the net. Together, PUMA can stop Obama from destroying this country. Thanks!
[...] on our progressive values, we reject Obama’s use of race-baiting and sexism as political tools — although ignored by the press and perpetuated by bloggers — we have [...]
That’s a ludicrous analogy, and also highly insulting to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Clinton is nobody’s victim, least of all Barack Obama’s. She’s a very strong competitor who ran a hotly contended race with another strong competitor. There were some irregularities regarding the race, which everyone is fully cognizant of, and no one is particularly happy about. But I haven’t heard Hillary Clinton bitterly denouncing her opponent, or proclaiming that the race was fixed, or calling herself a victim who is now being forced into subservience to the man she raced against.
I’d have expected a hell of a lot more respect for Hillary than that from some of her strongest supporters.
You want a better example of the battered wife syndrome the author speaks of so glibly? How about an America brutalized by republican rule for 8 years, crawling meekly back to the republicans?
