math for morons

WV has 28 delegates. Let's say Queenie wins 20, Obama 8. Net gain 12. She lost 4 super delegates today. Net gain 8. Oregon, with four times as many delegates, votes a week from now. He leads by about 12. He'll more than erase her big victory in Inbred Acres, and that's not counting the super delegate erosion in the ensuing six days. She's done. It's over.

ray-gun, fascist sock puppet

with big business and defense contractors' hands firmly up his ass, ronnie the ray-gun (the war hero who fought the Nazis in Santa Monica) spewed hate though his perma-smile. A bad dye job, a stack of note cards with someone else's ideas, and a B actor's bullshit melodrama, he was the worst President in the history of the republic, until Dumbya came along to get his brain dead ass off the hook. he was a sham, a fool, a liar, and a criminal. Iran contra was treason. He was stupid, but not that stupid. He knew what north and the fascists in the basement were doing. screw him.

cross

amen on the door knocking perils. We did it when our first child was an infant, McGovern campaign in '72, in the hills of Berkeley and Kensington. We were as all American white bread looking as you can get. Clean cut, darling daughter on my back, gorgeous wife, and we still got sworn at and had door slammed in our faces. In Berkeley. For a Democrat. Imagine the bravery of the Freedom Riders, those bleeding heart liberals who went into the Jim Crow south to register voters; some died for their bravery. Maybe this campaign has a deeper purpose, not attributable to one man: to begin tearing out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored. It's been over 150 years; let's get on with it. jeff

ku klux krackers

this is disgusting, but hardly surprising news. There is a deep vein of loathing for blacks (and jews, and Catholics, and, now, Muslims, hispanics) that is the base of the republikan party, and a significant part of Ray-gun democrats, who are no Democrats at all. They're not going to vote for either Obama or Clinton- they're almost as sexist as they are racist. Fuggem. The only candidate that might have smoothed over this wound, long unhealed, was John Edwards. Not gonna happen now. So, let the crackers cower in their little confederate corner, and let's move past them. I can happen. I believe the phrase is "yes, we can". Si, se puedes. And screw dixie.

piss and moan

Billary's kitchen sink is leaking super delegates, two or three a day. She's been done for months. Only the hopelessly stupid can't see it. they'll be the one posting shortly. jeff

Texass, I am so abjectly ashamed to have slighted the reincarnation of Mother Teresa. We all pale before your unstinting selflessness, your endless sacrifices, your bottomless bullshit.

FatTexassBroad

always the sign of profound insecurity to have to list your purported "awards". If you're such a big goddamned deal, how come no one's ever head of your sorry ass, and why do you spend such chunks of trailer park time eating Dinty Moore out of a can and sucking up MD 20/20 and typing epithets to such peons as we? If you know it, you ain't gotta show it. you're a GED flunky and a welfare queen. pathetic would be a step up-way up- for your flabby butt.

planetary enema

the only things that matter in democracy are symbolic? Is death in bogus war "symbolic"? Are staving children "symbolic"? Are overflow prisons choked with minority males "symbolic"? Is the degradation of the ecology "symbolic"? How profoundly, amazingly ignorant. On that basis, you declare that Ray-gun was "perhaps the greatest" of our presidents. He was a cardboard cutout. His elections were testimony to the gathering stupidity of the American public, of which your post is a prime example.

R.I.P. tom payne

She was a woman to be reckoned with, that payne girl. profane, profound, but never predictable. Kate Overweight BorntoHate is the butt of such posters as the departed payne. She loathes anyone with a vocabulary that exceeds the fourth grade level. She's a hard working white American, the kind the George Wallace used to draw, but have cleaved in the primary season to our ol' shot n' a beer workin' class girl, Billary. PIty she's doomed. Her victory tomorrow in the land of the brain dead means zero. She'll lose more in super delegates in the next week than she'll gain in Inbred City. By Oregon, the shrew will be down at least 190 delegates. This confuses Kate, since she only understands numbers smaller than 20 or larger than 200 (digits and pounds, respectively). Blessing on poor Katie. The darling buds of May, 12 pack at a time, won't get her through the wreckage of the Good Ship Billary, on the rocks and off the charts.
