The Race Card Won’t Get Obama To The Finish Line

[SusanUnPC: This story was published earlier today under a different title. We're re-posting it to make sure that many more of you get to read it.]
Years ago, when we still lived in a 30 unit building, a next door neighbor blithely left her apartment with something burning on the stove. I was drying my hair in the bathroom, my husband was working out to music. We didn’t hear anything. We didn’t smell the smoke. But we heard a horrible, loud banging. We ran toward the living room. I was screaming, “We’ll turn off the music, stop the banging. Please!”
When a fireman burst through our door, a six and a half foot tall mountain clad in yellow with a large axe in his hands, the first words out of my mouth were “we have cats!!” He calmly said “Get them and get out.” We grabbed the carriers, and got a cat, two kittens and ourselves down to the lobby in thirty seconds flat. The firefighters were heroes and saved the entire building, except for the reckless neighbor’s kitchen.
Five minutes later it would have been a flashover and the whole building would have been gone. Gone. Five minutes.
When we returned to our home, aside from the door, there was no damage. None.
My hubby and I are real good at following instructions – when we get them from someone who knows what they are doing. We didn’t ask questions or hesitate. We knew we were in good hands and never looked back. That sense of safety, that calm, that knowledge is just something we could feel.
And I could not tell whether the fireman in the yellow mask shouting instructions at us was black or white. And I certainly didn’t care. I did what he told me to do because I trusted that he knew what he was doing.
Trust is not something you can buy. You cannot earn trust with threats. You can’t earn votes that way either.
Senator Biden is campaigning down south telling us we should vote for Obama because he is black. John Kerry said the same thing. Every time anyone criticizes this newbie Senator from Illinois on his various lies or flip flops, the DNC, the press and Obama’s campaign tend to unite in a chorus of the race card. So we’d better not criticize Senator Obama due to the color of his skin, but we should vote for him for that reason. Have I got that right?
Enough. This is nonsense. I care much more that Senator Obama reneged on FISA, touts Bush’s faith based initiatives, that he won through caucus fraud and received more from Wall St. than any other candidate. The color of his skin has no bearing here.
Russ Smith, in his Splice piece, The Audacity of Defeat, wonders:
What if the impossible happens and Obama loses the election? Among Democrats, expect a rash of rage, depression, angst and finger-pointing at the media.
Not among all Democrats. There’s a new T-shirt for sale. Expect me to be wearing it: Don’t blame me, I voted for Hillary. When that fire was raging in our building, they didn’t send a ‘Probie’ to our door to handle it. They sent someone who’s been through a few before. These pundit boobs act as if all Democratic candidates are interchangeable.
And how can any of Obama’s supporters finger point at the media? It’s been a love-fest from day one. We’ll be doing the finger pointing: Why did you not vet this guy? Why did you run so much interference for him? Why didn’t you fess up and tell the truth? Why didn’t you hold him to the same standards of accountability as the other candidates?
Here’s some more of Russ Smith’s nonsense for you:
New York magazine columnist Kurt Andersen, one of the few Beltway-Boston pundits who bashed Hillary Clinton a year ago, when her nomination appeared inevitable, was unstinting in his speculation of the fallout should Obama lose. He emailed me: “Even without post-November 4th rumors of rigged voting machines and the like, an Obama loss will be a deeply, traumatically depressing event for Democrats and other Obama enthusiasts. (Whereas if McCain loses, who will be seriously bummed outside of the McCain household?) There will be so many facets of potential unhappiness. That an eloquent, inspiring, intelligent, subtle black candidate lost—and if it’s close, it’ll be true that racism beat him… That the rest of the world will be reaffirmed in their belief that America is the land of nincompoops (or worse).”
Tom Bevan, co-founder of Real Clear Politics, was succinct: “Two words: Hari Kari. The base of the [Democratic] party is so vested in its nominee…that to lose in November would be one of the most demoralizing in the modern era.”
I’ll tell you who will be demoralized – Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, Donna Brazile, Harry Reid and company – all the Dem elite thugs who kicked the best candidate to the curb so they could put their ‘empty vessel’ in charge of the clown car.
If Senator Obama, this ‘eloquent, inspiring, intelligent, subtle black candidate’ cannot run on anything but the race card, then there really isn’t much hope for change, is there? Furthermore I am really not concerned with what the rest of the world thinks. Certain other world leaders just might have an agenda of their own in voicing their opinions.
Kevin Ferris, in his article Don’t Cry Racism If Obama Loses writes:
…[S]ome are already bemoaning the rampant racism that might keep a black man from ascending to the presidency.
Hey, Barack Obama could not have clinched the nomination without votes from white Americans. The other party isn’t supposed to just concede the election based on skin color. Voters shouldn’t have to choose based on race when they disagree on issues or believe a candidate isn’t up to the job.
But expect to see the bemoaners looking to the heavens and saying, “We’re not ready.”
Baloney. Maybe it’s Obama who’s not ready and the people who recognize that – men and women, whites and blacks, Hispanics and Asians – are just fine.
The Democrats, who are always trumpeting that they are the party that gave me the “Right to Choose” took away my only sensible choice: Hillary, who we knew would win and left me with Obama, who we knew would lose once he had to go up against a real Republican candidate.
This is the gentleman the DNC insists I vote for:
(CNN) — It appears Barack Obama’s teleprompter is hitting the campaign trail.
The Democratic presidential nominee has never tried to hide the fact he delivers speeches off the device, though normally he doesn’t use one at standard campaign rallies and town hall events.
But the Illinois senator used a teleprompter at both his Colorado events Monday — making for a particularly peculiar scene in Pueblo, where the prompter was set up in the middle of what is normally a rodeo ring.
Senator Obama goes to casual campaign rally stopovers and he needs a teleprompter to remember what the hell he is campaigning about? If, after twenty months of campaigning about the same issues, you don’t have enough authority over your own policies and heartfelt beliefs to stand up in a strong voice and share them with the American people; if you don’t trust yourself enough to deliver that information without a script – then why the hell should I trust you with my country, my military, my safety or my vote?
Senator Obama calls himself a uniter. Then why does he feel so divisive to me? The more I think about it the more he looks like someone designed to destroy the Democratic Party from within. And now it seems that Barack Obama, so arrogant about his money raising capabilities that he reneged on his pledge to use public financing, just informed Harry Reid that contrary to his earlier pledges, he will not be able to help Senators with their down ticket races.
And now, the pièce de resistance to close Russ Smith’s misguided article:
Finally, Tucker Carlson, the witty veteran of cable television shows, who’s been mercilessly and unfairly maligned by left-wingers, expressed an opinion that’s close to my own. “Even those who supported Hillary in the primaries will scold the rest of us for voting against a black man. They’ll be shrill and self-righteous, more even than usual, and they’ll never stop. It’s almost enough to make you want to vote for Obama, just so we won’t have to hear them.”
Tucker forgets that the majority of the Democratic base voted for Hillary. That’s the same Tucker who just a few months ago sat agape on MSNBC and said he was “in awe” of Hillary Clinton. He seems to forget that at least 30% of Hillary’s voters have already said they are voting for Senator McCain. That’s 5.4 million. I’m sure that number is growing by the day. And it will not be out of spite. It will be because we sincerely do not believe that Senator Obama is up to this task.
Kevin Ferris concludes:
Don’t assume racism because voters don’t think a junior senator with great potential but no major accomplishments is ready to be leader of the Free World and a wartime commander in chief.
He’s right. When I cry the morning after the election, my tears will not be for Obama. My tears will be for the Democratic Party, who unwisely pushed a self-described ‘blank slate’ forward in what should have been a no-lose year for the Democrats.
My tears will be for people who have so lost their way that they left someone with authority, knowledge, toughness, preparedness and compassion by the side of the road so they could hoist the emperor with no clothes on their shoulders.

Part 3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Apmc4WtVxM
I’ll just be glad when I can use a big chunk of the English language again – words and phrases I’ve used for decades that have no connection to race for me. But these days, I have to substitute regularly on blogs to avoid having some Obamalyte screaming RACIST!!
You people – Enough rope to hang himself – Obama lover, etc.
(Sigh!)
yeah…I just got in trouble about that. Obama and his race-baiting have made the most innocuous statements… make you hesitate to write them if it flashes in your head that it could be “construed” that way.
Personally my resentment, at having to expand beyond all levels of unreasonableness the vetting of every word for any racist connotation, is becoming vast!
Democrats started playing the “bigot” card about immigration. If you were a democrat and were against amnesty..the lefties called you a racist. I think all of them are working on the Obama campaign
obama is using the race card for two reasons, one to make people afraid of riots, the second he will set something up, and receive a wound he will say see im a miracle and america is bad and racist, for sympathy votes, do not put it past him…
He is not an empty suit. He is a cynical, vicious sexist racist. He will be the American Hitler. We are in serious trouble. Look how the brown shirts have gone after Palin’s email or the death threats against Amir Taheri.
What is all the fuss about?
Let me start with the polls from OCT 11 2004.
Kerry 280 – Bush 254
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2004/Pres/Maps/Oct11.html
Does this not look familiar. Did anybody think that Bush with a 45 to 48 % approval rating going up against a veteran from Vietnam and Senator of 16 years could win? Especially since he was not truly elected in 2000. Everybody in the democratic circles had a sence that the wrongs of 2000 will be corrected and we will finally get a President in the White House who understood our problems and will put an end to the Iraq war. On Nov 1st thinks looked even better.
Kerry 298 – Bush 231
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2004/Pres/Maps/Nov01.html
On Nov 5th 2004, however, those hops died and everybody tried to find somebody to blame. I think it really came down to the fact that Kerry could not connect with the voters. How many of you voted for him and could never really get excited about his campaign.
This year thing have not really changed. It will all come down to PA,OH, MI and VA
Let’s take PA for example.
Hillary won PA primaries by 55% (1.275 million). BO got about 1.04 million votes. That is 200K + difference. The 2004 election was decided by 144K votes in PA. It will take no more then 20% of Hillary voters defecting to McCain to turn the state red. That is smaller then the 25% who said they will vote for McCain if Obama becomes the nominee in the exit polls. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/04/22/pennsylvania-exit-polls-p_n_98067.html.
So we just have to be patient and let the election run its course. The debates will be interesting. I am curious how much time Obama is spending preparing for it. There are reports out there that he is using a teleprompter on all his event from here on out. That is good to keep him on message but bad for preparing for the debates. I have a feeling Obama will give very generic responses to most questions. There will be on specifics. Also I suspect that the questions will be provided ahead of time to the campaigns.
great post, john.
Thanks.
I hope John is right, but on the other hand there is supposed to have been an increase in Democratic registration in PA.
Obama-Biden for Senate, ‘08
Increased voter registration doesn’t say anything about the republican registration numbers. Further more, in a lot of state you don’t even have to change your party to vote on the republican ticket. So these kind of arguments are fallicous. They don’t mean anything other than what they say, the have new registered voters from the primary. Thats it nothing more nothing less.
FYI: Here in PA party registration only counts for the primaries. In the general election PA voters can go for who ever they please.

“60 Minutes” airing McCain, Obama interviews
.
All meaningless.
“Polls taken after the Republican convention suggested that Mr. McCain had enjoyed a surge of support — particularly among white women after his selection of Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate — but the latest poll indicates “the Palin effect” was, at least so far, a limited burst of interest. The contest appeared to be roughly where it was before the two conventions and before the vice-presidential selections: Mr. Obama had the support of 48 percent of registered voters, compared with 43 percent for Mr. McCain, a difference within the poll’s margin of sampling error, and statistically unchanged from the tally in the last New York Times/CBS News poll, in mid-August.”
I thought you were going to bed.
Yeah, I’m too wired. Too nervous about the economy but excited at how much the presidential race has changed this week. If you think the polls suck for you now, give it another three days when the catastrophe on Wall Street has really sunk in. Obama came out with a two-minute ad today detailing precisely how he will deal with the financial disaster, along with pointers to a much more detailed plan on his website (all of which actually makes sense, btw). McCain came out with a 30-second spot promising to…appoint a commission. And after 26 years spent as an opponent of regulation, up to yesterday morning, today he has announced that he favors more regulation.
You think this guy is going to win? You’re dreaming. It’s over.
Take your behind back to bed. Little kids need to learn to stay out grown folks business. Children should be seen an not heard.
I have news for you. McCain is coming out with an ad detailing how Obama and the Democrats enabled the downfall of the housing market along with the fact that Obama was payed 122K to look the other way. I would like to have him explain that.
The only thing in the ad was go to my website.
I didn’t see or hear a single policy detail.
Get off the crack sweetie. Its bad for your health.
You underestimate how much freethinkers hate you and Obama. And how intelligent people know it’s only more words from the styrofoam candidate. Yes it is over, you insect – but it’s your Chocolate Messiah who’s lost and you know it. Coming in here to troll doesn’t change the course of history. Closing an eye to what Obama’s friends the Pritzkers have done to cause this catastrophe (as in about 99% of it) won’t stop true Americans from going to the polls and voting for the next president of the United States John McCain.
Better luck next time – when you’re finally old enough to vote. Maybe by then you’ll have grown up too.
Ok so you believe that a man that has more wall street donation than any other candidate is going to prosper after his friends have sunk our economy. And you also think that, people are going to trust am an who wants to raise taxes and their for cause their bosses to fire, them because they will no longer be able to afford their sallary.
You are younger than I thought, becaus you are still locked in pre operational stage of cognitive development. cause if that isn’t magical thinking I don’t know what is. That must make you about 4 or 5.
Sweet nightmares, sf, about Obama losing.
WHY then, are you here?
If it’s OVER, you should be popping the champagne cork!
Instead, you’re here, frantic, pushy, nudgy–and frankly, VERY WORRIED. It’s obvious.
As you should be–because the only polls that show Obama ahead are the ones that are absurdly weighted to count an overabundance of Democrats–more than will actually show up on election day.
No one in my all Democratic neighborhood is voting for your hero.
You have a problem.
But hey, have another glass of kool-aid!
I’m going to go ahead and say it. You are black and over zealous. It permiates all your posts. We can tell *wink* *wink*
God you people are a bunch of losers. Just woke up to review all your denial-laden responses. Check out Rasmussen today:
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/general_election_match_up_history
This is a Republican poll, you know. And McCain has lost his lead there too.
Oh well. Keep up the denial as long as you can.
Read it and weep:
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/state-of-race-is-mccain-in-trouble.html
ha ha. Quinnipac becomes yet another poll to give Obama a significant lead — +4 in this case. McCain is crumbling on a daily basis. You PUMAs might be deranged enough to blame a financial catastrophe caused by lack of regulation on the Democrat, but the rest of the planet knows better. Get ready for President Obama, because it really is going to happen.
Clarly you don;t understand polls. Undecided voters throw your numbers off.
Why are there so many undecided voters at this point in time?
Obama has not been able to mesmerize them and they’re probably waiting for the debates.
In 2006 McCain foresaw the problems with mortgage practices and co-sponsored a reform bill to address these problems specifically exhibited by Fannie/Freddie. He urged congress to act swiftly and predicted this —”if Congress does not act American taxpayers will continue to be exposed to the enormous risk that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac pose to the housing market, the overall financial system and the economy as a whole” The Democrats did not support this; it died in committee; Obama did not speak out at the time or offer to co-sponsor it.
http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2008/09 john-mccain-co-sponsored-bill-to-clean.html
don’t worry sweetie, any weakness in the Palin bounce will be offset by the bradley effect…aka the “i am sick of being harrassed and told if i dont vote for the inadequate fraud i am a racist” effect.
If Barack is not 6 points ahead on election day he is losing. Even with all the dead voters that Acorn Registered.
In any event we have a long way to go till election day and 4 debates in between with NO TELEPROMPTERS OH MY!!!
Also i know you were pissed that Obama’s convention bounce lasted for 2.5 days and John McCains convention bounce lasted for 2.5 weeks, but don’t worry…I hear the greek columns are going to be used for Barky’s concession speech!!
Precisely. I predict McCain will win by over 10%. And Obama will lose by more. And that’s the nightmare scenario. Obama may end up winning less than 10 states.
Barack won’t win.
That i am certain of.
I use to worry about it but now i am certain of it.
So many days left so many gaffes coming…just watch and see.
So many 527 ads coming.
So many unanswered questions about Rezko Wright Ayers Auchi Iraq Troop delay Foreign campaign contributions The Trip to Afgahnistan when Usama Bin Laden “The Freedom Fighter” was there in 1981 the list just doesn’t end.
great piece. Loved it.
SARAH PALIN INTERVIEW
From Hannity &
twitColmesPart 1: On Reforming the Economy
Part 2 – On Being a Beltway Outsider
Part 3 – On the McCain Administration
——–
So refreshing to see an interview where a candidate is shown a modicum of respect and allowed to answer the questions instead of being attacked and misrepresented by dishonest editing.
Thanks. Will look now. Thanks again!
I’ve seen the first part of the interview and it made me feel better about Sarah Palin. She said she and McCain had discussed her participation as VP and I’m happy with what she said. I certainly do not agree with some of her politics, but I do believe she understands energy independece and how to bring some sound ideas on how to reform Washington. I still belong to Hillary, heart and soul, but I’m willing to wait four years to avoid a disaster.
A judge in San Francisco through out a suit over McCain’s elegibility today. It was brought by the American Independence Party. Why was this suit brought to Federal Court to begin with? But, since it was, why haven’t similiar suits been brought against Obama in more states? Has any state other than PA challenged him and if not, why not?
My husband said he heard David Freddoso (The Case Against Obama) was attacked by some thugs on his way to do an interview with WGN in Chicago and the station cancelled the interview. Sarah Palin’s personal emil account was hacked and personal information has spread accross the Internet. Grettawire was running a poll on that question when her site was overrun with spam. Does anyone know which blog realeased the information?
Sorry. That should be “threw out”
Yes. 4chan released it. Are you saying Greta van Susteren’s site was bombed by Obama bots? Really? I think Sarah has to go home quick and get her hunting rifle.
The teleprompter is the only way to keep all the lies straight.
A teleprompter! A teleprompter! My kingdom for a teleprompter!
McCain and Palin today were free and easy with just a mike standing amongst an audience taking whatever question they flung their way, with total EASE.
Yeah it’s like they’re almost real people like you and me? We need more of that!
I say let’s kidnap the teleprompter.
I say yes! LOL
Lipstick has replaced Bic lighters at Palin rallies.
At Obama rallies, they hold up tiny teleprompters.
no kingdom for u
teleprompter comes with the teritory
May B but so do empty suits who can still talk without stuttering when the teleprompters aren’t working.
Yes! That’s exactly what I wrote in an earlier post. His addiction to this device is the most telling of all. It also makes him seem so removed from voters. Americans are waiting for you to reach out and talk to them, to help them solve their problems.
They don’t need a candidate talking at them, protected, distant and aloof.
I put this comment in an earlier post, but it belongs here.
Here is the new hopey changey uniter Obama:
So much for a respectful Town Hall discussion. Get in their faces.
McCain’s response:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/09/17/politics/p185733D40.DTL&type=politics
Obama’s change is not for the better. He’s channeling a Dean Scream in a Goldwater Mushroom Cloud.
Meanwile that astute liberal rag, Slate, claims
Obama is not in a panic, and did not get all hot and bothered in Elko.
http://www.slate.com/id/2200301
I guess Slate was at the Elko rally on Mars, and they missed the Obamaland reaction to Palin, the Obamaland reaction to McCains ads, and the Obamaland reaction to Obama’s dive in the Polls.
Yeah but according to Hominid he’s behind by 10 points. That makes him really stupid.
I understand the need to be snarky and indignant, but every “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For Hillary” t-shirt sold helps contribute to sinking a potential 2012 candidacy.
after the Loss in November, the DNC will be falling all over themselves to wash the stink of Barack Obama and his dirty politics off the party.
Thanks for the concern but no. Everybody will be claiming they were actually Hillary Supporters by the time the Innauguration of John McCain rolls around.
Lesson learned? Don’t hijack your party unless you can guarantee a win.
Barack Obama will be a footnote in history…an unremarkable fraud with no accomplishments and a troubling history who ran an american Idol campaign that ultimately failed to bamboozle all of the people all of the time through the actual election.
I can vote for that!
Please, we don’t want him back in Illinois…unless it’s in a cell in Marion Federal Pen…general population please.
Maybe Patrick Fitzgerald can arrange that.
1. In Elko, Nevada today, Obama told the audience to argue with neighbors and get in their face.
“I need you to go out and talk to your friends and talk to your neighbors. I want you to talk to them whether they are independent or whether they are Republican. I want you to argue with them and get in their face,” he said.
“And if they tell you that, ‘Well, we’re not sure where he stands on guns.’ I want you to say, ‘He believes in the Second Amendment.’ If they tell you, ‘Well, he’s going to raise your taxes,’ you say, ‘No, he’s not, he’s going lower them.’ You are my ambassadors. You guys are the ones who can make the case.”
2. Some in the audience said they were satisfied with Obama’s tone.
“I think he needs to keep doing exactly what he’s doing, which is speak softly, show it through,” said Paul Barnhart, a retired real estate appraiser. “I think most Americans are pretty fed up and sick and tired of the bickering and the battling back and forth. I am.”
Holly Black, a special education teacher in Elko, agreed. “I don’t believe in the trash-talking. I believe he is aggressive.”
Remember, Obama’s said they are his ambassadors and must make the case.
3. On July 2, 2008, Obama said he wants to create a “civilian national security force.”
Obama:
Will his civilian national security force be his “ambassadors”?
sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2008/09/17/politics/p185733D40.DTL&type=politics
noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/07/20/obama’s-civilian-national-security-force/
His “ambassadors” are actually his Mugabe-esque SECRET POLICE slapdown force.
This guy’s a fucking fascist. And Daley and Axelrod have a hand in it. They’re so going to bury this country if they get their way. This is no tinfoil paranoia – this is cold assessment based on what the Daley Nightmare looks like from the inside.
It’s the truth. These people have no scuples, no conscience, no humanity. None.
Local FOX News in Chicago (last night) broadcast excerpts of deposition interviews with Donald Tomczak, a former high official in the Daley administration, now serving time in a Federal Pen in Minnesota. Maybe he sees his chances of a pardon from Obama slipping away, who know,s but he is talking and giving depositions in a lawsuit broght by a city worker who alleged in his lawsuit that he had been passed over for promotions and other benefits because he would not do the political work for the Daley administration, as demanded. The answers were amazing, but not shocking, and confirmed what many have suspected. Humorously, after each question was asked, you hear the City of Chicago’s attorney making an objection for the record…no shit, they really don’t want these questions answered. It was also funny that in the Daley administration, they have invented a new measurement for time. While most of us deal in days, weeks, months, and years, in the Daley administration, time periods are referenced by the number of “election cycles”. For example, if you worked for the Water Department and performed all of the political functions required (kicking back part of your salary for political tickets and fundraisers, leg-work in the precincts, etc.) you should expect to receive a significant salary increase or promotion after two election cycles. Tomczak made it clear that the entire personnel and promotions system was politically rigged. There is soooooo much riding on Obama’s election. They simply can’t afford fo him to lose, or they will lose their gravy train and their freedom as well. When powerful political interests have their backs against the wall, they will stop at nothing to win. Precinct vote watchdogs will have to be vigilant. We must brace ourselves for a real scorched earth campaign and tactics from the Obama camp. We are seeing the opening salvos in this Hail Mary effort in their threats against WGN radio in Chicago, their threats and physical attack on anti-Obama writers, their computer hacking (like what they may have done to the website of our web-mate, soldier4hillary, and the hacking of Gov. Palin’s email accounts.)
I just don’t understand why more people aren’t outraged by the corruption in Illinois. The Chicago political machine is really determined to stop Patrick Fitzgerald’s prosecutions. The only way to do it is for a new Democratic president to replace him. That means no holds barred for voter fraud.
Absolutely none of this information about the Chicago political machine is new. All city jobs are political jobs. Michelle Obama’s father was a precinct captain and he worked for the city of Chicago. Michelle worked for two years as an assistant to Mayor Daley. Obama married into the machine.
thanks for reminding all of us
my 3 reasons (the shortlist) of not voting for BO r
1. FISA
2. continuing bush faith initiatives
3. civilian national security force ….or the “shadow civilian force”
regardless, sex, gender, race, age, and affiliation or no affiliation to a political party, any American citizen or any citizen in the world should worry about their own rights. and i have news for them: yes, i still have the right to CAST a vote on Nov. 4th.
Obama’s vote for the Bush Cheney energy bill is another major factor for me. How can people go on thinking this guy is a Democrat?

So he wants the Obots to get in our face, hmmmmm I dont think thats going to go over so well.
It worked for the national socialists in Germany for a while. Then those traitors known as the Allies got in the way and refused to drink Das Kool-Aid™.
Is he trying to teach them how to “Win Friends And Influence People”?
Great post Ani. I just love your stuff! :OD
was up sara … long time no hear from u
:OD
I have been hanging with the mama. She is still in town, so I am trying to limit my internet time. I still check in to read at bitter, just don’t post. If I start posting, I get sucked in, and never leave. hahahha
I will be back SOON! :O)
Look at how these Oblow supporters are spamming up Gretawire, just scroll down see all their filth.
http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2008/09/17/on-the-record-live-vote-vote-now-5/#comments
What in the world is wrong there? Did the CIA actually put Acid in the drinking water? They are insane.
do we expect any less from the orange satan kooks??
evil cannot outsmart good. Greta will just have something on her show about things like this or start tracking who is doing it, ban them or send them a warning. All in all, it’s just more negatives for Obama. But his supporters are rowing w only one oar in the water so they just don’t get that their nasty, vulgar and sometimes illegal behavior just makes Obama worse.
Mature. And yet, they have computer access and lots of time on their hands.
I’m continually getting spurious illegit popups on nq/blog from Turner at 157.166.226.26, Level 3 at 207.123.33.125, and AOL at 64.236.22.207. (NQ itself is at Total Server Solutions at 208.78.41.244.) They don’t seem to necessarily come from specific article RRLs. It’s very fucking annoying.
Some advertisers aren’t playing by the rules.
You only need two words to describe Sarah Palin: KOOKIE/ROOKIE.

u r SPOOKIE
I would rather be spookie than a Half Baked Alaskan.
Official: 25 arrested over US embassy attack
Are the Obama bots behind this too?
SHILLING and CHURNING–the State of the Media and the “Mass Production of Ignorance” (A Double Post by kenosha Marge and InsightAnalytical-GRL)

Put these together because they are intertwined…the Obama media followed by a look at Nick Davies “Flat Earth News,” a scathing expose on how the media works…
Then this Splice Today journalist is as much a fool as any of them.
Here’s another one by the same boob. This guy is soooo out of touch. In my business if you’re out of touch you get fired or have to declare chap 11.
What a boob.
Going cold turkey off Kool-Aid™ is notoriously painful.
As someone post here

But that’s true. The Pritzkers – check them out.
And of course all his contributors. Good buds all of them.
Gotta show this one off.
I have any number of objections to this of course.
1. The author of this post is as repugnant as Obama himself.
2. You need a VISA to work and live in those nice countries, you fool.
3. The disdain and disrespect for and inability to reach ‘ordinary’ people as if they don’t exist – this is their colossal undoing.
4. Nothing in the above diatribe in any way rules out Hillary. So it has to be the Kool-Aid™ – these people are bad for the country; they’re bad for any country.
If this jerk ‘Martimr1′ is able to leave then I say ‘yes’. Go ahead and have him leave. Maybe he and Obama can get two for the price of one on a Macau steamer.
If they support Obama, they could not possibly have brains.
McCain needs to cut this ad ASAP.

Love the way Cambell “in the tank for Obama” Brown likes to advertize herself and her show on CNN as “no bias, no bull” when this interview clearly shows she is ALL Bias and ALL Bull. Her guest had more class in her pinkie than Cambell Brown had in her entire interview. She interrupted and was rude. Campbell Brown needs to go back to Journalism school and learn how to be an objective professional and not an ignorant jerk.
Hillary 08, if not,
McCain/Palin 08
Hey there’s a rally 2morrow!

Can all you whiney, menopausal, middle aged women who haven’t “gotten over” Hillary go tell Obamaniac what THE CHANGE is really about?
Gah… paramilitary organization is right!
I thought this site didn’t allow links to porn.
Every time McCain gains in the polls, I see some stupid news on Yahoo warning of racism. But I am pretty sure Americans are sick of the race card.
I’m sure there are actually a handful of honest to God racists out there, but I have NEVER known one. Who here actually knows a real racist?
This idea that there are millions of racists raining on BO’s parade is just inane.
I am sure when BO loses, there will be screams of racism. I don’t care. We will be there with a litany of real reasons why he lost.
Not to mention the incredible sheer hypocrisy of calling Whites racist, when BO and wife went to that racist church for 20 years. I am so very tired of the race card, everyone is. Let him play it again, see how far it gets him.
Actually, I do know a real, live racist. Although he won’t admit it. And he is actually voting for Barack Obama because as much as he disdains Black people (except for, you know, “the good ones”), he hates women and the elderly more. Hmmm, come to think of it, this person doesn’t have much nice to say about anyone.
On the other hand, some people truly are crazy enough to think there are millions of racists keeping BO down. Like Whoopi Goldberg. She apparently thinks there are so many crazy racists, she has to worry that slavery will be reinstated. How crazy is that!
Thanks to Barack Obama, the Race Card now officially makes America yawn. They roll their eyes when they hear it now. The only “rise” it gets is one of annoyance. Nice job, Barky! Nothing like desensitizing America you jerk!
About the only affect the race card has now is to make people not be able to WAIT for this election to be over. They will be RACING to the polls, remembering how Hillary was treated and then how the race card was also was tried on McCain and backfired, and most of all, they will be voting early to get rid of that race-baiting, class war-mongering hoax.

You should have heard Jesse Jackson, Jr. on MsNBC and his racist inferences.
This is not helping. Nat Turner Rebellion of 2008 will fall.
Trust!
PUMA 2008!
Yes. A person who unites Democrats, Republicans, and Independents against him.
