Grammatically and Politically Incorrect

Just seeing if I can get a post in before the obamatrons…

That’s a real trick lately. I think they’ve been practicing blog-flooding again. It’s designed to make it look like a blog has lots of opposition, but it’s an old trick, like sending email about the sick boy who wants postcards or an email about Bill Gates giving away money.

Of course, some of the Obamoids simply paste the same tired email time after time after time after time. . . .

Just Like their leader…COPY

Obama is less qualified to be president than a convicted felon. A broken keyboard makes fewer gaffes than this incompetent candidate. He has less knowledge of history than a grade school student and fewer abilities.

**There are FEWER misogynists in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America than there are in the Democratic National Committee, but there is LESS interest in the media reporting it.

I have traveled in Europe and Africa and this comment is total, hysterical bullshit.

Hit the road retard! Obama never supported anything the Clinton’s did in the 90′s, didn’t you listen to him throughout this primary. His preacher even preaches that they didn’t do anything for AA. Obama doesn’t care about the democratic base because he can get republicans and independants, remember. Obama didn’t even campaign in KY, we were told he didn’t need our votes. He won’t get them in the fall. Hillary has worked for 40 years so some small potatoes puppet can put her in her place no, no … Introducing John McCain, democrats favorite Republican!

Ok, you slimeball…you have stolen my name. Larry and Susan, is there any way to put a stop to this?

These people are abhorrent!

This is a clever rant…we could use more humor and fewer obnoxious posts around here today.

The Democratic Party has at least one FEWER vote in November, and I worry LESS about McCain than the average Democrat.

Seriously though, I will still vote for a Democrat for President. Her name is Hillary Clinton, and I think my ballot may look funny, with her name formally printed as the vice-presidential candidate, and her name written right below it in my hand-printing as the Presidential candidate.

It is the only way I can vote honestly in this election.

Fewer Obamanuts would make this site less stressful.
Their constant presence, however, does underscore the great danger of voting for the fascist Obama and the reason I must vote for McCain.

I HOPE this is somewhat grammatical, I am tired…

I have seen people that can’t vote McCain, and I totally understand that feeling, say they will vote for Nader or Barr or someone and we have time till November to decide that… I went to McCain’s site and couldn’t yet bring myself to actually register.
Yet. But I did leave the DNC, step one.

Anyway here’s an idea I need help with.

I have a theory about why the DNC just didn’t seem to want us anymore.

I’ve read several news reports about Obama’s database and his financing machine. This whole coup of the party is all about the money, but more importantly it is all about the voter information he has on everyone who visited his sites and campaign offices who divulged information about themselves from phone numbers to age and voting history.

They don’t care if they win the top office. They can use the voter records and put anyone they want into congressional, senate, mayoral races, etc. It is the nu-party they want.
And after they have so many in power they have all the control.

There are tons of anecdotal stories about uncommitted delegates signing a pact to not endorse Hillary at the convention. The electability argument is meaningless to them.
They then put pressure on her to GET OUT NOW and if they lose to McCain – so what?
Why should they care. They are the new heartless party and BO is a sham candidate.

Then I saw this Mimi linked about dead people and pets registering as dems.

http://www.nola.com/news/t-p/frontpage/index.ssf?/base/news-10/1212816745283060.xml&coll=1

This fits my theory too. Obama has his under “all one roof” organizations of the left, out there gathering all these fake voter registrations to make the DNC members think they have huge numbers of new voters in his database that he is using as a bribe to lure them.

Senators and Congressmen are buying a scam from the BO con-man and are supporting his coup. This needs all the ends tied together and a few missing puzzle pieces, but there is something to this.

They are screwing themselves – us, the REAL voters see what is going on – one by one – and we have started to mass mutiny!

What a con man he is and what traitors they are.

Even after Edwards had recused himself from the VP potentials list, I read a headline on how Barky had him on his shortlist.

I am praying for another, as always enlightening sermon from the Hon. Rev. Wright tomorrow at Trinity UCC. He has sent Rev. Moss on a vacation, and removed some of Moss’ staff.

Wright is Obama’s biggest probem right now. Pfleger is gasping for air, perhaps we can expect more from him soon.

We know Obama comes from Farrakhan’s district; I suggest there may be evidence which would be more easily attained than the “tape”. How about a picture of Obama/Farrakhan from the 90s? 11 of Rezko’s condemned buildings in Obama’s/Farrakhan’s district? Where are the party & function pictures?

Carley, be careful of writing in her name. Several posters have said such a write-in vote would automatically go to Obama in many states.

Well, apparently you’re not too sure about Asia and South America?

Bravo … that’s WHY Obama wants to see to It that More Americans are Put Through Affordable collage so as to be More Like You (OP) and LESS like the other illiterates out here …

That makes me crazy too. They’ve stopped teaching english, haven’t they? How about pleaded for pled. Would they say a guy bleeded to death? Or loose for lose. Loose means less tight, lose means misplaced or you’re not the winner.

On my way to Whole Foods this evening — not to buy arugula, but Italian parsley — I listened to BBC radio. guess what? They were doing a special on the sexist, atrocious reporting during this year’s primary! they had a “top ten” list of the shameful things our national media said about Clinton. I arrived home, flipped on FOX (usually better these days tn the other two) and found the belt Way Boys mocking Clinton’s endorsement speech; “glass ceiling, what glass ceiling…blah, blah…) What has happened to our country?

If Hillary is not returned to her rightful place in August, you must cast your vote for John McCain. Change your registration to Independent and then cast for McCain.

Staying home is only an option in non-swing, non-battleground states.

This grammatical blunder irritates me more than any other. I scream at the TV, and correct people under my breath. I can still hear my 7th grade teacher– less refers to amount, fewer refers to number. Thank you.

Now if someone would only write about using “were”
rather than “was” when making a statement contrary to fact. i.e. “If only Sen. Obama were truthful.”

less inclination to vote for obama,
more angry

Someday it will seem so obvious that Obama is a bad choice.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. -Arthur Schopenhauer

How Come There is No Editing On This Lovely Obama Supporting Site …. ?

Anyway in my Previous Statement I meant To Say “College” … So Much For Making FEWER typos ….

Let me respond,

**There are FEWER misogynists in Asia, Europe, Africa, and South America than there are in the Democratic National Committee, but there is LESS interest in the media reporting it.Yeah, everyone on the DNC is a misogynist. This explains why Hillary had 100 more endorsements from democrat superdelegates the day before the actual voting began in Iowa.

**Barack Obama has LESS experience than Hillary Clinton, but she has FEWER connections with Louis Farrakhan.Obama has rejected, denounced, and repudiated the views of Farrakhan way before he ran for president. As for experience, what about Abe Lincoln who was in congress for two years before he was elected president.

**The bitter people were clinging to FEWER guns and Bibles as the economy got worse, and there was LESS enthusiasm for “Yes We Can”.It’s true. Many people lost hope as through democrat and republican presidents, the economy didn’t get better, the jobs didn’t come back, so they chose to vote on who would not ‘take away their guns’ and who was ‘more religious

**There was much LESS negative media bias towards Obama, and there were FEWER members of the DNC who wanted to fairly divide the delegates.Yeah man, this is why the media practically crowned Hillary the nominee before the voting started, and why super tuesday was supposed to be her coronation. As to the delegates 69-59 was a fair split when you included the 30,000 write in votes for Edwards/Obama that were thrown out, and give the uncommitted delegates to Obama, because everyone who wanted to vote for him or edwards coudn’t.

**Obama did not give FEWER vague David Axelrod speeches during the end of the primary because people enjoyed hearing LESS substance in his words.His entire detailed policy proposals are on his website. See “The Blueprint for Change”. People don’t go to a large rally to see a candidate talk about detailed policy proposals.

**FEWER swing states and FEWER votes went to Obama, but the Super Delegates ignored this because they had LESS desire to win in November.No, the superdelegates overwhelmingly went to the candidate who represents the future of the democratic party, and the man who will be the next president of the united states

How about “its” and “it’s”? No one seems to get that right anymore and I see billboards, magazines, newspapers, books and many, many tv captions that get it wrong. And websites with supposedly solid writers, like the HuffyPot, screw up all the time.

I never said I was a wordsmith.

I find that I make these mistakes the angrier I get. I will try to be less angrier..lol

less rhetoric, more substance
less faux innocence, more truth
less racism, more sexism

Karen, what bothers me is that they planned this. Kennedy and Kerry were in this from the beginning.
Remember how Kennedy helped them use his brother’s legacy and the crap about MO being like Jacqueline Kennedy. (Poor Mrs Kennedy she retired from public life and lived a reclusive existence with her books and family and close friends only to have her elegant first lady reputation tarnished after her death by a comparison to an America-hating racist.

WIN:

**There was much LESS negative media bias towards Obama, and there were FEWER members of the DNC who wanted to fairly divide the delegates.Yeah man, this is why the media practically crowned Hillary the nominee before the voting started, and why super tuesday was supposed to be her coronation.

I LOVE this post!

Less bold?

“Less” is for adverbs, adjectives, and mass nouns – not only the intangibles which you mention, such as time – but also for tangibles such as water. (“Fewer” is for count nouns.) It’s the difference between that which is regarded as continuous and that which is regarded as discrete.

Here is a simple thought:

Which has fewer immediate problems for Fitzgerald in Chicago right now?

A: Indicting Gov. Blagojevich
B: Indicting Mayor Daley
C: Indicting Obama

Logic dictates that the fewer problems are A & B, since C has the potential of having Fitzgerald removed to continue the Chicago ways!

Don’t think for a second Obama isn’t in the center of Fitzgerald’s focus right now!

That is college not collage.

Fox reporting that McCain has set up a meeting with some of Hillary`s supporters. Let the fun begin.

June. July. August. Tic Toc. Tic Toc. Tic Toc.

NOBODT? This from The Expert?

The election of Abraham Lincoln, as you mention resulted in the start of the American Civil War. The Northern States held the electorate, much like Barky held the Caucus states. States that will go McCain in the fall.

Double Plus More Angry.

LOL
we are also no longer registered D

I feel cleansed. Refreshingly unaffiliated! I still love Hillary
I wish her all the best but I’m also getting a PUMA bumper sticker.

It’s too late, the damage is done.
There’s not enough time to forget about the scars once they’ve healed.

2008 the year the music died!

deja vous mon ami

Oh Good! I plan to connect with his bloggers. Some of them already channel my posts.

What has happened to Chicago is a tragedy in that the betrayal of the public trust crosses party lines. The Dems and Repubs are together in what The Chicago Tribune’s John Kass has dubbed the Chicago Combine.Yet, the media pretends that Obama is an ethical man, untarnished by the scheming and thievery.

The cause of the war is irrelevant. It would have been prevented had James Buchanan not been retarded.

My point is that the Lincoln, who is now revered as one of our greatest presidents, only was a congressman for 2 years before becoming president, refuting the point about experience.

on the QT, it was Hillary supporters wanting to talk with McCain as they are not impressed with the sack of crap Dean tried to sell them the other night.

What do we know of Fitzgerald’s schedule?

that was ME saying that not Sugar

but her site is always a nice read
LIKE here! And Riverdaughter. See we HILLARY fans still have places to go! Thank GOD.

The Orange Satan and Mydopeyd are/were amateur gossip shops and dreadfully void of anything creative.

just the facts Bois

I have traveled to Asia and I suffered from more sexism and misogyny than I have here. Yet the statement is definitely true that there are FEWER misogynists in Asia than there are in the DNC. I have traveled to Europe and didn’t encounter any sexism or misogyny. The statement is STILL true.

It’s an EXAMPLE.

I liked this line from her speech

The way to continue our fight now – to accomplish the goals for which we stand – is to take our energy, our passion, our strength and do all we can to help elect Barack Obama the next President of the United States.

Someone in Chicago should sneak a camera in.

There will be SONGS written and MOVIES made. AWARDS given.

I’m working on it. Or, can I use it at the end of this statement? Oh, No. I can’t write anymore.

You can fire my English professor later. But get your laughs first.

What does nobodt mean?

Speaking of misspeaking, the Obama Gaffe-athon rolls on.

http://patriotroom.com/?p=412

I am already an Independent, and I have made a contribution to John McCain. I know it will be only a matter of time until the vicious Obamanuts start their denunciation of McCain. They will try to do to him what they did to Hillary and us. However, I worked for Kerry in 2004 and remember that Kerry attempted to get McCain for his VP and McCain refused. If McCain was good enough in 2004, he is good enough now.

When I watched her speech this morning, I felt something genuine in her voice. When she talked about dedicating her life to making America a better place, you could tell that was her deepest conviction.

She seemed a little hesitant endorsing Obama, but she also seemed very confident when she said we cannot afford to allow the Republicans to hold The White House for another 4 years or more.

In the end, I think Hillary’s decision to support Obama was what she feels is the best course for our country to follow. I’ve supported her so far, so there’s no reason for me to doubt her now.

Let’s take back The White House and make America a better place. Join me in electing Barack Obama as our next President.

Obviously you are not too brilliant!

Bet you believe Obama never heard Wright utter a single hateful word, even though in Bambi’s Blame Wright on America speech before Bambi threw Wright under the bus, Bambi said he had heard Wright say such words and then denied it two days later as he had for a week prior!

Guess you forgot Bambi’s denials of meeting with Canadian officials over NAFTA for a week till the memo was leaked..hmmmmmm

The illusion is always in the favor of the person in denial, like Bambi’s staff memo on using the Race issue against the Clinton’s, fabrication or truth, you support Bambi for whatever reason, good for you, that is the beauty of Freedom, one voice, one vote except with defections from DNP will require Bambi 2 votes to replace, hmmmmmm sort of like Fla and Mich that Bambi managed to screw huh?

I too, shall be sporting a PUMA bumper sticker!

Now I gotta go get carmelized over at Sugar’s!!!!

BJ. I used to live there. I miss Tom and Steve and the rest of the really hot political investigative writers. Even Lynn Sweet has soft moments for Chicago’s chosen one, and I don’t understand it.

You should give us some metro news that does not make it from print to the internet version of their papers.

Uppity, take a breath and slap yourself. What else could Hillary do? They threatened her.

I remember that the whole family wore black and that she did not say one negative thing about McCain.

HA!! very GOOD! lol clowns indeed!

The talent the visits and resides at NQ is incredible! Really.

Another reason why I feel certain there is some kind of MO video.

This is NO rinkydink dormatory myspace blog.

Not from what I’ve witnessed. I trust my OWN eyes.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Lincoln believed in God. Obama does not.

I’ve already sent an e-mail to Hillary telling her I will never vote for Obama, regardless of her comments.
In fact, I will be voting for McCain. Our military at the mercy of Ayers’ best bud (Obama) is just too scary to contemplate.

that is a fake Uppity…..lol

but

he wrote his own speeches,
was not too timid to debate, and
and he was not teleprompter-dependent.

“He has less knowledge of history than a grade school student and fewer abilities.”

Should be: “He has less knowledge of history than DOES a grade school student.” You need the verb to indicate that “grade school student” is the subject of a clause, not the object of the verb “has.’

This may have already been posted here, if so please forgive. I may not agree with everything said here but we all can agree that there are a greater number of misogynists in this video than in any other. Your Main Stream Media at work:

Did someone hijack your ID?

I always like your writing, so I will not say anything less than flattering about your post.

I will just say I am surprised by it.

lol i know – puhlease!! LOL

I respect your opinion, but I will make mistakes, gladly, and proudly.

When we begin celebrating our superiority by flaunting our grammar skills, we are chastising others for their lack, defining ourselves not by how we think, but by how we punctuate.

It is the antithesis of creative intellectualism.

I refuse to make anyone feel self conscious about their their self expression, it is indicative of nothing but empty arrogance, I am superior to no one.

(OK, I am superior to the arrogant trolls.)

The emptiest thoughts are expressed with most accurate punctuation, aren’t they?

This is not directed toward the diarist.

It’s a pet peeve of mine, a back door method of discouraging legitimate discussion, finding flaw in punctuation as opposed to flaw in argument, the least talented unable to think critically, barely literate, but, by goodness, flaunting their knowledge of strunk and white, and accepting it as proof of intellect.

Look at our trolls…

Geez the Obamatwit trolls are now stealing peoples handles like Bambi steals peoples votes!

How low how low will Obamatwats go, as low as Bambi doing the down low?

Ah, another fake Uppity. The day the real Uppity says to vote for Obama is the day pigs fly (without the aid of a high wind).

Some enterprising political reporter should pick up on this and sniff further. I suspect the same thing – it’s just a database of names and people who at one time donated.

But signing a pact NOT to endorse Hillary? That I haven’t heard.

Puleeze Uppity, don’t leave us and become one of them. You are infected; slap yourself hard. Wake up, lady!

They learned from the master!

I used to be extremely anal about correcting (immediately) my typos or bad spelling, etc.

Then one day I just got tired of acting all anal and stopped. Well mostly stopped. It’s a work in progress.

Being less anal.

lol present company excluded

Earnest Hemmingway said that the comma was the greatest evil ever invented.

I, agree.

I heard a BBC report on how Obama is not electable. They played the Wright clips of Goddam AmeriKKKa. I can just imagine those Brits all caught up in Obama and hearing those clips lol!

Negative. You can not declare a win, when you have control of the game, the rules and the playing field. The media crowned her. Not the people. They have now crowned Barack Hussein Obama. Why? Because the media is sick of the Clinton story. Why? Because they need new viewers, new ratings. Why? To generate ad revenue.

I now offer the story for June, July and August. It is ratings GOLD.

Here are the players; Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Pfleger, Farrakhan, Jackson (’cause Jesse always gets in on the act), Sharpton (see Jackson), and lastly Michelle Robinson.

Moss is on leave. Jeremiah speaks tomorrow.

Can a pig be trained to fetch?

I remember seeing those little pot bellied Chinese pigs, which can be kept as pets, and I was wondering if they can also be trained, like a dog?

I know they can be housebroken.

why. she has more x than he [has] is acceptable. The nominative conveys that it is the subject. The second verb would be needed only if it were a different action, tense or mood.

I know this: Hillary is bright and she knows how to play the political game. She worked her heart out for this nomination, and the party connived and cheated her out of what is rightfully hers.

She knows the names they called her,her husband, and her daughter. She knows that Obama is not an FDR Democrat. She knows his connections to communists and Marxists. She knows about Odinga. I so her speech in front of AIPEC; she looked as if she was
ready to puke when she tried to sell Obama to the those in attendance.

I agree, sometimes it’s more about the expression, or even the vernacular, than it is about proper language usage.

It reads like modern prose, and I like that it does.

Sorry for the typos; Uppity losing it is too much for me today.

Gaz.

it s a ppity, so take a deep breathe!

Changing the punctuation can bring about different visualizations, too, in a creative manner.

I look at poem by ee cummings, say, or even carlos williams carlos, and it’s easier to read intent by punctuation being circumvented, as compared to expected usage.

It’s a fake Uppity, need new batteries for my keyboard…..lol

“Pleaded” and “pled” are both acceptable past forms of “plead.” If you doubt me, check a dictionary.

This is a hot issue for me and made me actualy respond.

I have noted this too in this campaign and in life in general. Here is a recent incident of a grammatical misunderstanding from a CNN analyst in mid-May that I posted on another listserve:

“This may explain why the media can’t report fairly on Clinton. They don’t understand her proper use of tense. I just heard a commentator
quote HRC, “If I were President, I would…” Commentator went on to point out how Hillary was already speaking in past tense about her campaign.
Goodness. To deliver opinion on the news without even understanding that HRC was speaking in future/conditional/subjunctive tense, and
hearing the reverse meaning being reported leaves my jaw on the floor…perhaps this commentator came of age during the last eight years of -is our children learning?-”

Another story on this topic is the all too common misuse of Lie/Lay. An English teacher we all knew and adored was on her death bed, and hospice care told her to “Just lay down for a bit.” She was failing rapidly, but hearing this made her sit up and shout, “It’s LIE DOWN, LIE DOWN,.” She expired soon after giving her last English lesson. True story.

Another transgression is the misuse if its and it’s…possessive versus contraction. But the less and fewer grammatical error is right up there in the top spot of misuses. I learned the determinator to be continuous versus discrete measurements to assist in deciding which to use. Instead we have apparently eliminated “fewer” from our lexicon. And then there is the THERE vs. THEIR issue.

For a folk that only knows English, we are embarrassingly bad at using it. (Just don’t try to translate “embarrass” into Spanish w/o checking first, or you will be talking about pregnancy instead of embarrassment).

We need to be bi-lingual these days and be able to speak our own language properly.

Be kind. This is my first attempt at posting anything anywhere publicly.

1)The article was obviously an example of how to properly use the terms…
Obama’s campaign “donated” over 1.3 Million to the campaigns of super delegates. It’s plain and simple bribery.

2)Obama has and continues to have several members of the Nation of Islam on his campaign and senate staff. His repudiation of Farakhan was nothing but pandering and everyone with an IQ above 5 knows it.

2b)Abraham Lincoln served only 2 years as a Senator yes. He also served 4 terms in the Illinois State Senate, a Term in the US House of Representative, and was a lawyer for 23 years involved with over 5100 cases. That experience is quite a bit different from getting into politics as a Marxist with the New Party and rigging state boards to make it possible for Rezko to commit his crimes.

3)He was obviously belittling the people, trying to distract us by changing what he said wont work here. He was pandering to the crowd, hoping to get them to donate more for his *battle against uneducated hicks who cling to guns and religion.* He did not know someone filmed it and was going to let the world know what he said.

4) The majority of the MSM has been blatantly pro Obama, even news sources in other countries have said it was the most media bias they have ever seen in a US election.
4b)How is a 69-59 split fair when in order to make that split. The DNC flagrantly violated their own rules. Uncommitted is a certified vote and under the RULES the votes and delegates represented by those votes, MUST go to the convention as uncommitted. The RBC did not have the option of changing it.

5)Keep hoping for his change and you could see Antoin Rezko Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.

6)He did not win swing states, no amount of lies or distractions can change that fact. The super delegates were pressed to back him by Pelosi, Dean, Reid, and other DNC elites who wanted Obama donor list. He has no chance in the GE but the DNC doesnt really care, they look at Obamessiah as a recruiting drive for new democrats. What they fail to realize is they have ensured the end of their own careers. We will not vote for Obama, and we WILL actively campaign against the DNC elites who shoved this piss poor excuse of a human being let alone Presidential candidate down our throats.

Those you see following the Obamessiah are not Democrats, though the species may try to look similar. They are in fact nothing but JACKASSES!
P.U.M.A.

I think Uppity has the right idea. I think politics is a dirty business, so I usually vote based on my values.

Hillary is the epitome of someone who embodies my values. I trust her every word when it comes to health care, the war in Iraq, our economy, everything.

So when she said in her speech that Obama was the best option for our country, I took that to heart.

I’ll continue watching her speeches to see if she can make some more convincing arguments about why I shouldn’t vote for McCain.

But I do know that if McCain really is a clone of GWB, voting for him would be the worst decision I could ever make.

Let the vetting being I will get the popcorn

nothing like a typo in the first sentence about grammar>>>DOH.

Couldn’t I have a troll that could at least get my user name right when he hijacked it? Damn, you Obamabutts screw everything up. But at least I got one that’s really obnoxious and will get a lot of votes for McCain, not one of those wimpy, sincere ones trying to establish a dialog. Sorry you’re mindless, Missy, but that’s what comes of hanging around those crooks, thieves and thugs in Obamanation.

McCain ’08, Hillary ’12, Obama never.

excellent.

just realized I haven’t laughed in five days.

thanks.

that was a fake uppity because I know uppity’s views. they were hyjacking my handle last thread.

It should be very entertaining! Can you serve the 94% fat free kind – us “sweeties” have to watch out weight!

Now if someone would only write about using “were”
rather than “was” when making a statement contrary to fact. i.e. “If only Sen. Obama were truthful.”

That’s a rule that need not be followed unless writing at a very formal register. From The American Heritage Book of English Usage:

http://www.bartleby.com/64/C001/061.html

According to traditional rules, you use the subjunctive to describe an occurrence that you have presupposed to be contrary to fact: if I were ten years younger, if America were still a British Colony.

In practice, of course, many people ignore the rules. In fact, over the last 200 years even well-respected writers have tended to use the indicative was where the traditional rule would require the subjunctive were. A usage such as If I was the only boy in the world may break the rules, but it sounds perfectly natural.

Obviously a fake:
this person is sane.

I just don’t understand how anyone could support Obama….

Are you the sincere troll trying to establish a dialog? If everyone should be concerned about a McCain victory, why did the crooks and thieves at the DNC steal the nomination from Hillary to give it to a person even more dangerous than McCain?

BJ, if you already know Hillary’s stance on the issues (like health care, education, the economy, and the war), try comparing them to the other candidates.

After I compared her views to McCain’s and Obama’s views, the choice was obvious. I would be betraying Hillary if I voted for McCain; that man is against everything she stands for.

That’s okay, Mindless. Isn’t your name redundant? Aren’t all Obama supporters mindless? But don’t worry about those typos; you should only be concerned if you start forgetting what city and state you are in, as The Inadequate One has done so many times in recent weeks.

“Vetting” is a kind word for character assassination innuendo and slander.

MOST republicans can`t.

Puleeze, I live in Illinois. This man has done nothing for Chicago or our state. Zero.

All he has done is make money and bamboozle people. He helped his friend Rezko get federal funds to rennovate apartment buildings in his Chicago district and when the people moved in they did not have heat. During a cold Chicago winter, no heat.He once repressented these same people as a state legislator.

He signed the Bush-Cheney energy bill. He has done nothing to stop the war as a US Senator and voted along with the rest of Congress to screw the American people.

I voted for Obama for US Senator and he will never get my vote again.

He apologized, which is more than any troll like you as ever done.

One day at a time:

Diane Feinstein said that HRC had the popular vote in her interview after the meeting today.

Hillary will go to the Credentials Committee, then to the Convention. Meanwhile, Bambi will be looking silly, having crowned himself.

Now see. Dawnelle got a user-name hijacker troll who could at least spell. You’re a little over the top, though, faux Dawnelle. If you dialed it back a little, you would be more believable. It must be hard pretending to be something you’re not. You can see the strain on Obama’s face when he tries to pretend he knows what he’s talking about and tries to pretend those are his words, just words, he’s saying, and tries to pretend he has any chance at all of beating McCain. Is he going to pretend to take it like a man when McCain administers that humiliating, embarrassing ass-kicking this fall?

Re: utube post

He didn’t insult her. What’s he supposed to do? Tie her up?
At least she won’t be voting for Bambi.

I’ve run across this “Darren” fellow before (if that’s indeed his real name). He should be banned. He’s a bitter elitist that traffics in bandying about facts like they were all that mattered. He has no appreciation for the fight we are waging here, which supercedes any of his petty facts.

Kiddos, please, I say it again and again. Don’t feed the elitist trolls.

It’s too bad all this will probably proceed at too slow a pace to help with the election, but I’ll still enjoy watching “C” when it happens. Do you think after he suffers the embarrassing and humiliating ass-kicking McCain is going to give him this fall, Obama will move to a jurisdiction from which he cannot be extradited?

I have to concur. Unless Uppity accidently went to one of those Obamabambibot brainwashing sites like MyDD or Taylor Marsh. FOLKS DO NOT VISIT THOSE SITES THEY ARE LIKE VIRUSES! If you want to see what can happen, just look at at our dear UppityWoman — she took one glance at DailyKos and has now dissolved into a puddle of hope on the floor of No Quarter. This is serious business, kiddos!

A fake troll, supporting a fake candidate, but neither Obama or faux Uppity are sane. Are you named after the city, Orlando? Has Obama ever visited there? If yes, did he say he was happy to be in Omaha?

Our Uppity would never do that. All the puddles are from Obama — he’s worried about that embarrassing and humiliating ass-kicking McCain is going to give him this fall.

As the real Uppity said today in another thread, I would not like to be the recipient of Clinton revenge. I also would not like to be on the receiving end of that embarrassing and humiliating ass-kicking that Obama is going to get from McCain this fall.

Not you too, Harpo??? First Uppity, now you?? I’ll have you know I have a couple of friends who are friends with some people who were there with McCaine that night and it turns out that none other than Barack the Magick Marxist was backstage and speaking into John’s hearing aide via a microphone; BHO lied to McCaine, telling him the questioner had said, “how can we beat the PITCH” meaning the Chicago White Sox.

This is just more dirty tricks from the empty suit Obambi!! Grow up folks! Get real!! Tick, tock, tick, tock… June, July, August!

Too funny! You’re a lot more optamistic than I. Love that image of Obama/Marxist wetting his pants!

Folks, get real! How can a man who wets his freakin pants in public run our country?? Have you all gone insane?

I lived in Japan briefly in the mid-1980′s and was impressed at how their laws and culture did not protected against racism and sexism, relative to ours. Newspaper “ads wanted” would explicitly state the age and sex preferred. It was inherent in their salary appropriations as well, though I worked for a French company, salaries were determined locally.

As I see more effects of globalization, I see the hard-won battles of feminism in the 70′s being discarded by the cultures of the many paternalistic societies we are doing business with, and our laws being overlooked and not prosecuted by our own companies, though foreign companies are doing business on our soil.

It is as though we are taking a big step backwards as we assimilate ourselves globally, and women are the biggest losers, both economically and socially.

The O’Bots lost their sense of humor very early in this game.

Yes and they are using regular bloggers’ IDs too. They used yours earlier but larry took care of that one. Now we have another one. So if you see anything odd about a post just know it’s another one of Obama’s Marxist savages.

And then be reminded why we must get EVERYBODY we know to vote against Barack Obama in November.

Sez Mr. Potato Head.

vex, we don’t agree with you on anything, so I doubt anyone will be clicking on your little video.

Have you been over to the liberal rapture website? He got an advance copy of the speech Obama is going to give when (if) he accepts the stolen nomination. You’d think at this point Obama would try to stop stealing stuff, but no — almost every word is plagiarized.

Not exactly JFK or Lincoln, but it definitely suits Obama.

Darren is swill. Elitist my butt. He probably lives home with his parents and is sucking down their 401k even as we speak, in an effort to appear “upscale”.

Hi

Yes but not for long.

Hahaha yup.

this is drkate I’ve been impersonated too. Just saying–if you see any pro-obama stuff on this thread it is not from the real me, please report it to Larry. I’m not in the the kumbaya camp either. It’s a gun fight.

There is an error in your last paragraph — it is Obama who is the clone of Bush. The only difference between the two is that Obama can deliver a speech somewhat more smoothly (as long as he has a teleprompter) (and as long as someone else has already delivered it).

I’m just saying this for your own good, of course, as I would never want to hurt the feelings of such a sincere Obamabutt as yourself, but you really should educate yourself about the issues facing this country. Joe Lieberman is heading up a group for former Democrats. If you go over to the McCain website and sign up now, it may not be too late for you to break that nasty koolaid dependency.

That’s a great story about the lady who passed away. Thanks!

I do also find the parsing of meaning from the TV analysts particularly funny for the reasons you suggest. They are so nutty. They sound like junior high age kids trying to catch someone at something.

Are you threatening Obama? Quick, someone report Orlando to the police and the MSM!

“Less is used to describe intangible things you can’t count (like time)…” Like, for instance, five chickens are less than three chickens…or, rather, five chickens are fewer than three chickens. The opposite of less is more, the opposite of fewer is morer, or maybe severaler?

Unfortunately for him, the majority of voters can’t either. Better get out there and start registering those twenty-seven million gazillion new voters for him, sport. Is Oprah picking up the tab for this, too?

Very clever rant. Thanks! It’s nice to chuckle.

I noticed.

Oh thank you righton. That Obama just will do anything! No wonder McCain dislikes him so. I thought it might be because Obama lied to McCain about supporting campaign finance reform. Well, now that we know what really happened, that makes that humiliating and embarrassing ass-kicking Obama is going to get this fall from McCain sort of deserved now, doesn’t it?

You know, now that I think about it, I bet that’s why Obama gets confused so often about where he is — McCain is probably paying him back by changing the words on the teleprompter. I mean, I knew Obama was stupid, but when he confused Washington State with Washington, D.C., and thought the Space Needle was the Washington Monument I just knew there had to be a good reason.

Actually it IS a fast rule, but like so many other rules, they have loosened things to meet the needs of people who can’t write English. I am not kidding here. They removed the comma before the “and” in a series because people couldn’t learn the rule. It’s the dumbing down of English. You can find NUCULAR in the dictionary now because a moron couldn’t pronounce it right.

Now calm down, Orlando. Your blood sugar is probably low. Have you had any koolaid in the past few minutes? It’s really down low of you, I mean low down of you Obama supporters to say such mean things.

Oh, Orlando. That’s just so sweet. I hope you will be there to comfort Obama this fall when McCain administers that embarrassing and humiliating ass-kicking to him in the GE. He’ll need someone of your sensitivity to comfort him in his hour of need (and make those airline reservations to the country he chooses that does not extradite to the U.S.).

I didn’t miss it. What part of I refuse to vote for Barack Obama are you having trouble understanding? You Marxist followers, I realize, must walk like ducks, but I myself prefer a Democracy.

Yeah why answer questions when all you want to do is become the most powerful person in the world?

The jerk is gone. The next jerk will join him.

Nobody knows Barky better than you poor souls in Illinois. One of you told me that the only bad thing about defeating him as president is you will be stuck with him again as senator.

How do you know? You don’t know anything about me. You create a barrier by assuming everyone who engages your site is “not you” a troll, therefore not worth responding to except in the most mean and spiteful way. I am in rapture to no one. The video helps to explain (to me) why posters here are so upset about how Hillary was treated. It is a series of clips from news programs demonstrating the misogyny the media heaped on her. It’s presented by the Women’s Media Center.

Thanks! That’s really a good example! Let me try! Obama has fewer working brain cells than McCain (which is really surprising since Obama is middle-aged and McCain is old). Obama has even less chance of winning the GE than of escaping indictment. Oh! I’ll do another one! With chickens! Obama is more chicken than McCain. He has less courage than McCain. Obama would have chickened out in the POW situation in less time than it takes Michelle to bitch-slap him when he gets all confused about how many states there are and where he is.

Now let’s do severaler and opposite! Obama will receive a totally humiliating and embarrassing ass-kicking by John McCain this fall because Obama, discovering to his surprise that the GE is not a caucus, will receive less severaler votes than McCain. The opposite of Obama is President McCain.

Obama can buy some land next to the Bush ranch in Paraguay! If Rezko isn’t in prison by then, maybe he could help Obama out. Better yet Rezko and Obama could buy some land together next to the Bush ranch…

I tried to buy some tin foil today but the store was sold out. After reading the comments on this site, I now understand where all that tin foil went.

nice post. and ignore the snide comment from anne re your typo. the obamabots are snide at every opportunity, for no discernible reason other than poor parenting.

btw, i never capitalize, except the word “God.”
i know better, but gave it up a long time ago.

to be efficient or just lazy? no longer remember.

at least i know better. the obamabots generally don’t. the much-heralded educational level is a myth.

Dr kate last thread…I saw it. I gues we need a color of the day ala NYC finest in the subways.

Back to grammar – I never want to hear the word “notion” used ever again. It is driving me up the wall. That goes for “folks” too.

You’re funny.

I hear you. My son who corrects me constantly due to my misuse of the adjective “less”. But American usage is naturally lazy. Iced cream, is now ice cream, and the word people has replaced persons.

That’s when they happen.

The usage varies though.

I’m an agnostic. I don’t capitalize god either.

Democrats have had fewer successes in their campaigns than the Republicans, but the leadership of the Democratic Party could care less.

Boycott Oprah. Boycott MSNBC. Boycott the Dem Party.

Response to the DNC:

UNITY? LOL. I am dropping the dem party on Monday–how’s that.
–I actually feel pretty relaxed…it’s the Obama folks who have to worry about their pride if they lose the WH–maybe they will figure out that he mainly won the red republican states by caucus, that superdelegates went against their own states that Hilalry won to endorse Obama, that Obama coasted on a propaganda machine of lies built by the media, that MI and FL was one big cheat, that Hillary won the popular vote, that Hillary got the majority of the women vote, white working class vote, the rural white vote, the hispanics, the seniors, the catholics, the jews…that absolutley NO ONE can win the White House without, and maybe they will figure out that Hillary won all the big blue states and purple swing states needed to win…I still find it sort of insane that she won New York, California, and Ohio, PA, Florida, etc…and Obama won places like hard-core republican Alaska…and people thought it mattered for Obama only–lol, craziness. Maybe they will figure out that the electoral maps all showed Hillary beating McCain easily and Obama either tied or losing to McCain, and maybe they will all figure out that all those exit polls of more people in Hillary’s group saying that they would never vote for Obama than Obama’s people who would support her. Or maybe they will figure out that Hillary was sometimes outspent 4 to 1, like in PA, but she kept winning and winning and winning, and especially huge in many of the latest contests.

Obama did indeed limp across the finish line…he never even made the nom number, he only got there because of superdelegate promises…it’s a very weak win for Obama. Hillary was the stronger candidate to go up against McCain, and she would have killed him in debates, etc.

Now, Obama, a man who served ONE year in the U.S. Senate before running for president will go up against a 5-year POW American War hero, a man who held two terms in the House of Representatives and has 20 YEARS as a U.S. Senator.

LOL!

Maybe they will figure all this out one day–but really it doesn’t matter what they think.

**Never Obama.

That is exactly why I’m hoping that some Hillary supporters are not throwing their time and money to McCain right now… wait until after the convention.

Everyone has a right to their own choices, but I would have to think hard before I threw my suppor to mccain — never liked him, i find nothing about him that represents me or interests me (other than not being Obama.)

I’m like a girl without a country… I cannot even fathom supporting McCain right now. I’m not making a decision until the convention is over and the nominee is cast in stone. til then? I’m gonna make the repubs sweat. they didn’t earn my vote, not in the least. Only Hillary did.

I think they want Hillary supporters to feel so worn down that they’ll just stay home instead of vote for McCain. Fat chance in my case. I’m actually excited.

I ran into a friend today on the street, and he asked if I would vote for Obama. I LMAO and said, “Hell no. He’d be a disaster.” My friend asked about the war. I said there’s a big difference between tough talk and inexperience. You can count on more war with the latter.

We covered the Obamabots earlier tonight. This is the attack / gloat mode.

I’m probably in an older age group. They all know I was pro-Hillary. They relax totally now, because they all say they are for McCain.

I think this next leg of the election will break down on age lines.

That doesn’t bode well for Obama. There are more baby boomers than Gen-X, Millenium, etc.

Should be interesting to watch.

Wait till the Whitey Tape comes out.

Possibly, but even Hillary didn’t realize that we’d send her money.

She was operating under the old rule that we don’t want to fund elections.

She got plenty of money once she spoke up. And she’ll retire her debts easily.

What Obama’s “new method” doesn’t address is the number of candidates who need money. Think his supporters will seed a new Dem. in need of 1500 for a flyer?

Nah*….they are strictly emotional spenders.

So we’ll see.

The troll who hijacked me didn’t even pretend to sound like me. LOL*

They are idiots.

Then let go and let God, as we Christians say. It’s been great, really. Now say goodbye.

Nah*…….nobody is even watching the network news these days. Their viewership has fled.

It’s commonsense. Those of us interested in news are older. We are used to objective reporting. We don’t like screaming punditry.

They aren’t offering a product we want. We skip it.

They aren’t really bringing in new viewers.

This has been a big flop in terms of viewership.

So nah…….don’t agree with you.

Merriam-Webster, Encarta, and American Heritage list both past forms “pleaded” and “pled,” and don’t make distinctions for usage.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/plead

http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/dictionary/DictionaryResults.aspx?refid=1861738592

http://www.bartleby.com/61/68/P0366800.html

Oxford Concise labels “pled” as N. Amer, dialect, or Scottish.

http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/plead?view=uk

We are Republicans now and may or may not return to the Democratic party unless Hillary is the nominee.

I sent her that note and 10 bucks the night she gave her farewell speech.

You can also pick up viruses from clicking on links from unknown poster. Just saying.

You don’t know what you are talking about. In English, only pronouns can reflect the nominative case. “Student” — the noun in question here — is not a pronoun.

If you say “Hillary has bigger balls than Obama,” your message is unclear. Are you saying that Hillary’s balls are bigger than Obama’s balls? Or are you saying that Hillary’s balls are more sizable than Obama himself is? Or are you stating that both Obama and balls are possessions of Hillary, and that one is of a greater size than the other?

In order to make sure there is no confusion, you must say “Hillary has bigger balls than Obama does.” (Or: “…Obama has.”)

It’s fake Uppity.

Fake Dawnelle. Invasion of the body snatchers! It’s the only reason to support Obama.

Added note…

A very good example of the confusion that can arise can be found in another comment.

“I worry LESS about McCain than the average Democrat.”

What is the message here? Does the speaker worry less about McCain than the speaker worries about the average Democrat? Or does the speaker worry less about McCain than the average Democrat worries about McCain?

You need the verb. “I worry less about McCain than the average Democrat does.”

Koolaid is some crazy stuff…

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZP1USaPMXpI

Oprah put him up to it, I bet.

Another common error: “the heck with what is correct” -> “to heck with what is correct”.

Here are the players; Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Pfleger, Farrakhan, Jackson (’cause Jesse always gets in on the act), Sharpton (see Jackson), and lastly Michelle Robinson.

I’d be curious about those stories.

“….incorrect mistakes…”

Aren’t all mistakes incorrect?

Liked your rant, however, irregardless is a common and perfectly acceptable regional variation of regardless. You won’t find a standard english dictionary with out it.

There are three or four generations loose in America who think that Strunk and White are a folk duo who open for The Eagles.

So far as I can determine, everyone associated with Obama either has f****d up and anvil or can f**k an anvil.

Hilarious! What a great way to start the day. Thanks!

I axed some of my peeps about this and they gave me props for keepin’ it, you know, real, you know?

not bitter, that post was not written by me, and yours probably wasn’t written by you either. The only “Right Idea” I have is to see to it that Barky Obama is not elected president.

“folks” has replaced “people” because people are sick and tired of being accused of being racist when they say You People or Those People. So Folks is still left on the vocabulary list. As you well know, during this primary season, the list of “racist” words has grown nauseatingly long. I can’t wait till this shit is over and Obama isn’t elected. Then we can go back to being normal people without being accused of doing things we haven’t even done.

True. First it’s not an embedded link so you can tell by looking that its not a spoof. Second you can always copy and paste into a browser. Video is worth a look. Also the link to the Women’s Media Center is more important. They are doing for tweety fathead bias what media matters does for well tweety fathead bias. Heres the link; no embedded redirect but easily checked by pointing to with the mouse and checking the URL in th left is the same as the what is showing.

If Hillary Clinton had made fewer gross blunders, in her private life and in her career, Americans would have been less inclined to pillory her.

(sorry about that, but it reealy must be said.)

If the MSM had paid half as much attention to Barkt’s past as they had the Clinton’s, the prick would be in jail.

Not sure what Barkt means but you’d have to admit that a detailed search of the Clinton’s background from the Rose Law Firm billing records, to their finances of the last few years wouldn’t serve them well. Tell me their background isn’t littered with unspeakable shenanigans besides that.
Why is Bill Clinton so reluctant to open his books to the light of day for the last few years? Not many good reasons if you’ve nothing to hide. None that I can think of. Reminds me uncomfortably of Cindy McCain.
But around here I guess I’m just a radical Obamabot talking blasphemy now.

I would be betraying Hillary if I voted for McCain

Quit jacking handles.

It is not like you had a choice.

Don’t forget, you can be registered any party and still vote differently.
I think it’s VERY important to vote Dem downticket, then vote McCain. That will show DNC how Dems feel about the way they have treated us. The discrepancy about downticket votes and presidential votes will make that clearer, that Dems are voting against Obama, and show that they truly fucked up.
If you want to vote against some big Obama supporters, like McClaskell, try to do so in primaries, not elections, unless opponent is moderate Repub. The idea is to have strong Dem Congress to offset McCain, and show them not to mess with us.
Also, be careful with Repub trolls who are now coming on this site, and will probably be doing so more in the coming months. Be careful who you listen to. Only a Repub will say to vote for Repubs down ticket. Not a good idea. We don’t want to make things worse. The idea is to bring back the true Dem Party, with Clinton as the head.
Dem Congress and McCain, ’08, Clinton 2012.

Ha! Love the grammar lesson. ‘Less’ v. ‘fewer’ — makes me nuts too. So does misusing the adverb (form) “only” — I only love Hillary when it should be I love only Hillary.

Yeah, don’t they teach English anymore? Hmm, reading some comments apparently they don’t teach spelling or vocabulary anymore either.

Oh please, tired old talking points. 70 million spent on investigating the Clintons with only a blow job to bust him on. Remember Ken Starr? Trust me, if the DNC could get anything dirty on Hillary at this point they would have used it against her to drop out months ago. She, as a woman, has to keep her nose extra clean. Any woman working in a man’s world will tell you the same thing. Don’t EVER give’em anything to hang yourself with. You’re argument is old and has been debunked a thousand times here and I don’t have the energy or desire to educate you anymore. But ask yourself, could Barky withstand that kind of background check? Well, we’re going to find out this fall, won’t we?

That was me commenting on my own typo. It always happens that I catch ‘em just as I hit send.

Definitely a Nobamabot…
