Our budding legal eagle, LeBeaver, seems to have graduated from the Marie Antoinette law school, the latin initials for which must be STFU. At a time when working class wages have been in steepening spiral for decades, John and Hillary want to suspend the federal gas tax for the summer. Every significant economist say this will result in a net gain for the average family of just about zero. The Beav apparently thinks Americans are so stupid they won't realize that the price at the pump will be just about the same. This is the one place where us common folk shop that the spinning dial tells you just exactly the rate at which you are being fleeced. The Beav doesn't need a car. She's above all that. So, there must be some ethereal reason that folks will feel so good about the symbolism of a temporary tax rate reduction that they won't care that no actual money will accrue to them. Logic like that must be taught at the Beav's alma mater, STFU, where the college quad is a pond amongst which they students paddle from class to class with their flat tails. Just stunningly, breathtakingly, profoundly ignorant and arrogant at the same time. Downright Bushian. Go, Beaver, go. yours in homage, jeffersonian
patriotic? Iraq? Only the last vestige of Bushista support, now around 25%, think anything like that. So, Benedict Arnold the Eggman, you're not a Democrat anyway. Go vote fascist if that's what run the flag up your pole. As far as Poor Kate and Poor Hillary, hey, baby, it's the kitchen, remember? Get tough or get out. That's our Billary. tonight, she'll lose another net ten to twenty delegates (winning Idiotana by, say, 7, and losing NC by 10. Thus, with the end of the road in sight to all but the billbot blineded, she'll be down better than 150 delegates. All the threats, bribery, racism, lying, pandering, personality changes (she's jest a good ol' shot 'n a beer blue collar honey who happens to make 15 million a year), droppin' her G's and pretendin' she's one o' the dumb 'uns she needs to have any shot at all, with or without a beer. She's got Katie and Eggman, so the stupid votes seem to line up again. Quelle surprise.
Liar. John Lewis doesn't get pressured into anything. It's big bill and his big one making constant pressure calls to the uncommitted super delegates. just ask Bill Richardson. Liar.
So, Lewis listened to his black colleagues and his constituents? My God, representative democracy. that's a whole lot different than incessant, sometimes late night calls, from Monica's President, strong arming uncommitted super delegates. Apparently, you don't understand the meaning of the word "pressure", among other things. I do retract the liar comment. That was too strong. But your spin, typical of the whole clinton campaign, torques reality into unrecognizable patterns. Pity. She used to be somewhat appealing. Now, merely appalling. What a dog's hind leg, crooked all the way down to the ground.
anyone who dares call her or himself a Democrat and still votes for McCain is a turncoat of the first rank. An Obama supporter, having switched from Edwards when the media decided they wanted a two ring circus, I will emphatically and unequivocally vote for Hillary if she pulls this out. After tonight, in which Hillary appears to win Indiana by five points or less and Obama wins North Carolina by ten points or better, his lead over her will be larger than it was yesterday- probably by ten to fifteen additional pledged delegates. That puts her at least 150 back, and the super delegate trend is his way also. She has no chance in Oregon. What's gonna save her? Puerto Rico? No es posible, muchachos. Adios, Billary.
Has she given a gracious speech acknowledging Obama's win in North Carolina? I didn't think so. Typical. But, thanks, Joan, for removing the blinders and seeing what's there. He's going to be the nominee, and we'd all better close ranks to avert the disaster of a third Bush term, which is what McCain would provide. That, or worse. And two or three more fascists on the Supreme Court, setting its right wing course for decades. Sober up. Vote democratic, top to bottom.
hiding behind your cardboard personality again, Beav? Wow. A degree. You're going where no beaver has gone before, and we are all in utter awe of your intellectual hardware, your softcore screen name, and your empty core as an alleged individual. I bet you have your degrees and any other honorarium you've been able to buy, prominently displayed to impress all your shallow associates. Empty. Sad. Big, big deal. You certainly graduate with honors in BS. Pardon me if I don't genuflect.
She wins a rust belt state by four points (maybe) and loses NC by 14 points. vote totals give Obama roughly 200K more votes in NC, 40K less in Indiana. Thus, she loses the night by 160K, and slips even further behind in the delegate count. Ego alone, plain naked self interest, is all that keeps her bobbleheaded denial express going backwards down the track. She's a loser.
Billary's lead in Indiana is now 20K votes and falling. Her pecentage lead is 51 49. You seem to have a problem with the 13th amendment, and with college students actually voting. Tough shit. Billary will lose about 25 to 30 more delegates tonight. She's flat lined. Only tool and fools retain any notion she might actually win. She trails in Oregon, the only remaining state of any size, by better than ten points. that will grow. she's done and hasn't the guts or the selflessness to do it. Post away, poster boy. it won't change the math, which is surely, certainly crushing the would be queen.
