Brains of Steele, Balls of Clay - What an idiot!

It's like Christmas, my birthday and Halloween all rolled into one. Oh, and I just got back a HUGE tax refund!

Who could write a better suicide note for the Republican party? Can you imagine the "think tank" at the RNC a few months ago - "hey, they got a negro, let's get a negro too, it's a surefire-can't-miss!". The fact that the Repugs actually thought that I, and my children, would run to their incredibly racist and dated and bankrupt party because their all "hip-hop" now and we coloreds love us some "P. Diddy" and Grandmaster Flash is so laughable - not even insulting, just laughable, like seeing your worst enemy lose his job, get caught with a same-sex hooker and contract a bad rash - moments to savor.

Candidly they should leave Steele in place - we could all use the laugh, after all the Great Depression had the Marx Brothers, the Three Stooges and Charlie Chaplin. How come we can't keep this buffoon, and the others including that slob Rush around? Neither has to open his mouth, just stand there - the sight of both of them makes me laugh.

Now, if we can just get President Obama to drop that whole "bipartisan" fairy tale and mop the floor with jackals, we'd have a true new and better beginning - truly a Morning in America.

She's Cooked the dDmocratic Party

With all of the race-baiting and racial opportunism, including having her very vocal supporter at the NAACP invite Jeremiah Wright for a "flo' show" the other day, Hillary Clinton has made certain that John McCain will receive the largest African-American vote since Lincoln.

No, there is nothing that she can say to "heal" the party. The one thing the Democrats have played up with black voters since Reagan was how racist the Republicans are, how the Republicans use code words and "Willie Horton" campaign tactics against African Americans, and further racially polarize this country. So, McCain picks Condi Rice as his running mate, and "sexism/victim" trump card goes out the window, right behind the "Republicans hate Negroes" card that the Dems have relied on for a quarter century.

Now what's she going to use if she's the nominee? And what do you think the Republicans will use against her, and the Democrats running doe congressional seats?

Hillary is a polarizing figure by very nature, which is why the party has abandoned her. If she were clearly a uniter, and running on her own merit, and a decent human being, she would have wrapped up the nomination back in February.

Oh, and using Bill Ayers against Obama? Well, there goes the Progressive vote. They may not vote McCain, but they won't come out in droves for her.

I'm African-American. I've voted Democrat in every presidential campaign since '80.

I wouldn't vote for Clinton for Head Shit-Shoveler, let alone POTUS.

-- cythera45, Roe v. Wade was overturned by the USSOC in 1989

June 27, 1989.

Where have you been? Also, while the crones from NOW were hobknobbing on K Street, and the Ericka Jong and Paul Krugman were knee-deep in self-promotion and snob-literary career building, Planned Parenthoods, private and public abortion and birth control centers were closing up shop, as on that fateful day in 1989, the high court ruled Roe v. Wade to be a states-rights issue.

Under the Clinton Administration, the high court continued to pass further restrictions on abortion, both accessibility and procedural.

So, there's nothing to care about. Also, HRC went on record last summer (2007) that it was her current belief that the act of abortion was "a tragedy".

So much for the Clinton "Experience" change.

As for Obama "can't win"? Neither can HRC. If she could, she'd have the nomination wrapped up six weeks ago. She's polarizing in her own party.

As for those of us who will not vote for her in the general election, most of us were not going to vote for her in the first place, as one upposter said, "if Obama had never been born.

Curtains for the Dems.
