OK, heyjude

You're crazy.

Kerry tried to stay above the Rovian tactics in '04, tried to run on what he thought was his strength. He was destroyed. Get ready for a rerun.

Original article: Whither Edwards?

Edwards will endorse

the candidate with an actual UNIVERSAL health care proposal and the one ACTUALLY appealing to working-class voters. No?

"you are scared shitless. Bwahahahahahaha."

THAT's what I call uplifting. Gotta love the Obamabots. Pretend to speak for unity, but then go

Bwahahahahahaha

The hypocrisy. It burns....

@TRenee and Majorajam

Yes, please ignore me. I have succeeded very well--and quite enjoyed--ignoring you. But what you cannot ignore is the weakness of your demigod, who will be destroyed.

Monday, February 11, 2008 06:36 PM

Is that a rhetorical question?

Because our media is vacuous and depraved...?

Monday, February 11, 2008 06:40 PM

If you don't think Obama needs to "out he-man" McCain

you're deluding yourself. A national security dove will never win a general election.

Monday, February 11, 2008 06:41 PM

right

"If the Democrats can find the courage to say that the GOP's tough-guy emperor has no clothes, they'll wake up the American people, and make the war public issue No. 1 again. And if they can do that, they'll walk into the White House."

And angels and fairies will come and give us all cupcakes.

@tangerine

You should try concentrating on your own posts rather than composing them for others. You can use all the focus you can muster. By the way, I do have a rolling pin here--why don't you bend over...?

@Chris W

Carter is the best you got? Carter won in '76 because Watergate and the Nixon pardon stained Ford, who was never even elected. And then the Iran hostage crisis fried him because he was seen as WEAK. Try again....

That Times article is a joke

What does it say, really? Clinton has to win Ohio and Texas. No shit, Sherlock! How much do they pay you for this genius insight?

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:25 PM

Here's a nice talking point for the Obamabots

Maybe she's afraid we'll find the payoff for the assassination of Vince Foster...?

Since you guys borrow so many rightwing smears to attack Clinton, I just thought I'd toss that one out there for ya.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:31 PM

Oops, Kayess already got halfway there

I guess ya'll have gotten the calls from Rove already on this one...

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:47 PM

hey, Slackie

It's not cognitive dissonance at all. Obama is a Machiavellian infant. I would have thought this wasn't a contradiction at all given what we've lived with for the past seven-plus years.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:52 PM

Slackie & Saintzak

I already knew you both were on the Obama payroll. No one in independent possession of their senses would post the sort of maundering garbage that comes sliding out of your keyboards....

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 12:55 PM

@eeave1

"Why won't Obama release information about a blind trust he set up in 2005, using wealthy backers who've supported his many campaigns? Why won't Obama explain his 17-year relationship with Rezko, a wealthy individual who has basically been harming indigents/poor people in the Chicago area, and who has helped build Obama's political career?

For those who don't know the facts, Rezko is known to have not provided heat/lighting to poor people in low-income buildings, and he has bought low-income wrecks at basement bargain prices in an attempt to accumulate real estate, and then done nothing for the tenants in those units, to make their situations livable."

Haven't the Obamabots made it clear they don't care about any of this? Obama is the candidate of affluent liberal Dems, who could care less how many poor folks freeze in their apartments because his slumlord buddy cut the juice. They just don't care, and they're happy to tell you so.

Re: Rezco

Saintzak wrote: "Here in Chicago we went through the Rezko thing everywhich way like it was supposed to be a big scandal...never went anywhere as hard as they tried. Its old non-news."

Translation: I. Don't. Care.

Let me ask you, saintzak, how much money do you make a year? Have you ever had to live in subsidized housing (other than a college dorm)? Have you ever lived through a Chicago winter without functioning heat? Just curious.

Here's an easier question (though I doubt you or any of the other Obamadroids will have the courage to even answer): what do you think of a guy like Rezko? Totally independent of any Obama connection, what's your opinion of such an operator? Again, just curious.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 02:30 PM

Deafening silence on Rezko continues from Obamabots

Still waiting to hear your verdict on this lovely man. You like, right? Yes? No?

Chirp. Chirp. Chirp.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 02:53 PM

@soopergrover

Hillary should release her tax returns immediately.

Should Obama have known better than to associate with this "crook"? Tell us more.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 02:55 PM

@meffert

I am not defending Clinton. I am attacking Obama. He is corrupt and degenerate slime. Hillary may be too but that hardly excuses his own vast and suppurating iniquity.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 03:03 PM

@meffert

She is not my candidate. I just want to see Obama destroyed. Since she's the one with the most immediate capacity to do this, I am rooting for her. If she fails in the primaries, I will be rooting for some bribed superdelegates to turn on him. If Obama does get the nomination I will be rooting for McCain, Rove, and all the rest to take that creature down. Yes. We. Can.

Virginia exit polls

Clinton/Obama split

White Democrats (40%) 58% 41%

White Independents (16%) 35% 64%

Black Democrats (24%) 12% 88%

Black Independents (5%) 14% 86%

All Republicans (7%) 25% 71%

No way you win Ohio losing white Dems by 17%.

Sheer cynicism

Xrandadu Hutman wrote: "Plus, as has been demonstrated, Clinton is disliked (often for irrational reasons, admittedly) in the red states."

And the cynical Obama and his even more cynical followers love that irrationality and stoke it every chance they get.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 05:09 PM

@KcM

The exits I saw did not have info on Latinos. Thanks for the update. I'll bet you $1000 those numbers will not be duplicated in Texas? Are we on?

Obama will have no coattails in the "Heartland" because McCain will crunch his face.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 05:15 PM

@Xrandadu Hutman

Give me a break. That crap isn't fooling anybody.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008 05:16 PM

@timbuktom

Why wouldn't Obama pick Condi for VP? It would cement that crossover Repug/Independent vote, right?

Another Outpouring of Idiocy

from the champion dingbat of our time.

@Dave_in_Chapel_Hill

Those numbers include registered repugs and indys. Obama lost white Dems in Virginia by more than 15%. Is this because they're white, or because they're Democrats?
