We're still experiencing the woes of a nation led by someone who doesn't GET IT. Dubbya didn't get it more than any other American president ever.
But Hillary has some real problems with understanding and she has a tin ear.
Her vote to Authorize the Use of Military Force in Iraq is a perfect example. She voted without reading the NIE. Then she chose to believe George W. Bush. What - did she just roll off the turnip truck?? Her vote means she was either dumb enough to believe Bush, or she was so calculating that she cast a vote she KNEW to be wrong for political expediency. Either way should disqualify her from being President. Especially when she still can't admit her mistake. We've got a president like that now . .. not a good thing.
Another example: she signed a pledge not to "campaign OR participate" in the Michigan and Florida primaries. Participate means to partake of or share in. She's supposed to be a lawyer. Does she not know that pledging to not participate means she pledges not to accept delegates picked by that process she pledged to not participate in?
Again . . . she's either WAY too dumb . . . or a WEASEL. We don't need anymore weasels, thank you very much.
Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again
As opposed, I guess, to Obama's wide-spread support by lazy, shiftless, irresponsible, uppity non-white Americans? Just shut up lady. The first rule when you're stuck in a hole is STOP SHOVELING!!
The Supreme Court decison on photo ID was a hideous miscarriage of justice. The legistlature of Indiana chose to impose a poll tax . . . long since outlawed . . . with the sole purpose to be to unnecessarily harass poor voters . . . by requiring photo ID's. The example of nuns being denied the right to vote in the Indiana primary shows exactly where that right wing law was coming from.
The job of the Court is to reign in pinheaded legislators when in their ignoranc they overstep and violate constitutinoal rights.
Crawl back in your hole, jerk.
Since when does a guy who is so retarded he graduates 894 out of 899 in his college class get to opine about matters as lofty as the mythical Unitary Executive.
Note to Grampa McCain: Don't you remember, John, Parliament settled the issue of The King Can Do No Wrong in 1649 when they chopped off Charles I's head.
buy a dog.
Just so I gets this straight . . .. he's dating a married woman and he wants more commitment from her? Dude, I have a feeling her husband - and family if she has kids - probably would like more commitment, too.
If there is to be any commitment here . . . it should probably be involuntary commitment so the mental health pros could rework your wiring.
It sounds like it's the idea of America, its fundamental principles, that he's rejecting.
Well, Joan, if you mean he's rejecting the fundamental principle, expressed clearly in the US Constitution, that suffrage would be extended only to free white males over 21 who owned land . . .. Yes, he is.
Perhaps it was that clause that for purposes of determining representation in the House of Representatives, each slave would count as 3/5 of a person (altho the benefit in numbers of Congressmen, of course, would go to the white slave OWNER)?
Geeze, can we also throw in the genocide against the Native Americans, the stealing of Texas from Mexico because Mexico's constitution outlawed slavery, the slaughter of the bison to starve the plains Indians, the overthrow of lawfully elected governments in Iran or Venezuaela, and the ongoing illegal and criminal war in Iraq??
What turnip truck did you just roll off, lady??
What next, a report on integration riots at Ole Miss??? Old newsfilm of lynchings and murders by the KKK??? That Birth of a Nation movie is REALLY SOMETHING!!
A steamy dimly lit scene of John Sidney McCain consumating his illicit affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman on a California King Bed while Cindy Lou McCain sprawls next to the gyrating couple in a stolen narcotics induced semi-coma.
As Cindy Lou appears to regain consciousness during a particularly gymnastic (for a senescent senior senator, that is) segment of the tryst, McCain responds quickly by forcing a handful of purloined Vicodin down Cindy's gaping gullet.
Then Obama could come out the next day and denounce the ad, saying it was essentially unsubstantiated and out of bounds.
. . . could comment on the rumors circulating that he was brainwashed and mentally reprogrammed while staying at the Hanoi Hilton and that he is in fact a Manchurian Candidate who will turn the country over to Godless Communists if elected?
Then perhaps Senator Obama can publicly denounce the rumors that McCain was brainwashed and mentally reprogrammed while staying at the Hanoi Hilton and that he is in fact a Manchurian Candidate who will turn the country over to Godless Communists if elected by saying:
The rumors surrounding Sen. McCain's Manchurian candidacy are unsubstantiated, and I publicly denounce the allegations pending further proof.
While the pollsters perceive the Obama/McCain race as being essentially even, unless they have properly weighted their sample . . . and I doubt they have . . . they will be unaware of the growing statistical advantage Democrats will have at the polls in November.
Personally, when it comes to an honors graduate of Harvard Law versus a Crazy Old Coot who graduated 894th out of 899 . . . I think Obama will wipe the floor with the crusty and useless John Sidney McCain III, a man who has never received a paycheck in his entire life from anyone other than Uncle Sam
Back in the old days, when John Sidney McCain was busy graduatin' 894th out of 899, all they had was the circle and the square to work with.
Subpoena the shit-faced little ratfucker, put him under oath and let 'er rip.
along with the Idiot.
