    MadamFauntleroy & Delores Flower --absolutely LOVE you two. Always the voice of reason, historical context, ladylike, smooth, vibrant---LOVE IT!

    Honey, I want you to know, I am no lady. I am a Madam not a Madame. I run a brothel of myth busting.

    I think Odog ain't all that bad. Asking the right questions and we should all be cognizanr of the mixing of politics and religion.

  • Hillary will lose if she steals the nomination

    [Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]

    I cannot stress hard enough that the only way Hillary gets the nomination in Denver, is through foul means.

    She will never win the general. The AA community and a majority of Obama supporters will not vote for her because she is seen as a candidate who has changed the rules at every twist and turn, including the ones for MI and FL. Make no mistake about this. Obama has run a pretty clean campaign and has played fair. That cannot be said about Clinton.

    Besides, what really separates her from the Republicans? Nothing much really, just some gasbag assertions of children's issues and peace that have been debunked by the MSM.

    Seema like even after many of us have tried to address that very question for you last night, you seem to not be satisfied. You might want to go back and reread many of the responses.

    This thread is becoming tedious and tiresome. When you play with a one string guitar, you will not get a symphony. Neither will a stuck record get out of its nasty grove.

    Folks, don't waste your breath on doggy dog. S/he is an avatar of a former Clinton shill from weeks past. Why? Notice the pattern of repetition and secondly, doggone dog only just got on yesterday. And we were wondering what happened to the Clintonistas. New name, same shit. Enjoy

  • Why is Hillary losing?

    [Read the article: Who wants to be a Democrat?]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    She had $150 million war chest before the primaries

    She had entitlement guarantee

    He husband is an ex president

    She had an inside with super delegates

    She had advantage against a loser incumbent and his legacy

    Why did she lose a winning battle?

    Arrogance

    Entitlement vs public revolt against status quo

    Dirty campaign attack ads

    Loss of trust

    Perpetual plastic smile on her face

    Bad campaign management

    Squandering war chest in 3 months

    Arrogance

    Uncoordinated campaign, bad management

    Clinton fatigue

    Casting dispersions over opponent's supporters

    Are Iowa Democrats for Edwards switching to Obama and omen for the shape of things to come?

    You bet.

    How exciting to get an aknowledge from Patterson. I do think that the chick he was having a discussion with (see how far Blacks have come? The Republican counter discusser is Black) was full of herself. I will now have to forgive you for making me watch Matthews. The man is pedantic.

    Nonetheless, you jews are safe with the likes of Farrakhan and Wright. What are they going to do? Take over your slumlordship in NY? Now Black Muslims are who you should be afraid of. Not too long before the suicide bombing schools start opening in the madrassas of NY and then all of us will rue the day we said anything nasty about the Hillary.

    You are a person of immense fortitude to give any heed to the hatefilled ramblings of some misguided individuals. Not suggestin' that Clinton supporters are loony. Some are quite coherent, only I have not found any over here. They either replay over and over again or engage in name calling and ridicule.

    In any case Hutman, thanks for taking the time and energy to refute baseless blather. At least the dog had left after being exposed as a former stuck in the mud Salon troll.

    Rezko is so yesterday. Don't we have new colors this spring to throw at Obama? Hate this lull in mudslinging. What will it be tomorrow? Same old same old from the dogs aka dawgs aka (fill in the handle of repetitive jingoists) impersonating each other?

    Thank you Ron Smith. There is much ado that 25% of Hillary's primaries supporters will not vote for Obama whereas only 10% of Obama supporters will not support Hillary. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out that 25% of Hillary supporters are cross over Reagan Repubs, many of them women. If they were true Democrats they would not harbor those sentiments. Why do you think Hillary aligned herself so closely with McCain? This is one infraction that Hillary can never live down.

    As for the undecideds, they are the imbecils amongst us who will not be able to make up their minds when hell freezes over.

    You ain't seen anything yet. The tidal wind of change is in the air which will rock Washington to its core.

  • Obama would be a fool to ask Hillary to be his VP

    There is no one who has higher negatives than Hillary. Besides, he will pick someone more experienced than Hillary whose FP experience is USOs in Bosnia and luncheons in Belfast.

    It is stale and Hillary better get off that trip. Obama is far ahead of her.
