well, then you will be in country filled with crazy people. Any time you want to go and bore another country with your wit, don't let us stop you.
No I live in a country with 25% Obamapath clowns to the left of me and 25% Bush loving jokers to the right. Same as it ever was.
Still always proud of it, unlike vulgar Michelle Obama.
But I can't understand the thought process that even makes it possible for a candidate for President to make this reference, period
Here it is: Can you imagine sitting at your dinner table discussing reasons a candidate should stay in a race and including RFK's assassination in your list? Of course you can because it's logical.
What you really can't understand is why this candidate didn't go out of her way to insult your intelligence and pretend you couldn't handle a simple fact.
Cut the act.
I think we all got drudge-ified here. When I checked his site and saw the blaring headlines, I interpreted the comments in the most offensive, assasination-hoping way as he intended.
Only the Obamapaths. They're gullible by definition.
I think some obama supporters have totally lost touch with reality.
The fact that they are Obama supporters at all is evidence they lost touch with reality. All of them.
Every phony RACIST outrage screech out of the Obamapaths warms my heart. It wakes up more normal voters to the fact that Barack Dukaks and his flock are annoying whiners nobody wants to listen to for another four minutes much less four years.
Keep it up.
Everyone knows RFK was shot. Everyone knows it is evidence that primaries aren't over until they're over.
You drama queens are too much.
This reveals yet another benefit of helping Barack Dukakis lose by voting for McCain. We won't have to listen to four years of this phony outrage whining and screeching.
And now for the sequel: Florida and Michigan, 2008.
Brought to you by Howard Dean and the DNC.
And don't forget scum Barack Dukakis who is fighting as hard as Scum W. Bush did in 2000 to guarantee voters from those states do not have their votes counted.
most importantly would lead them to vote for McCain. Give me a break, I am cynical but come on..people like to hear what comes out of their pie hole rather than reality.
Obamapaths don't get it. There are enough voters who would accept a Clinton or McCain presidency but not an Obama presidency. Reagan Democrats in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania, who prefer McCain but think the economic crisis is extreme enough to vote for a qualified Democrat.
They (we) don't think Obama is qualified.
the only Hillary wins is if she creats a new kind of math one that lets you pick a choose which number mean more that some other numbers
Wrong. The superdelegates don't have to base their decisions on any of the above, and they can change their minds.
The only way Hillary (or Barack Dukakis) wins is to win enough delegates to win. Get it?
Go Hillary. Do whatever you can to win the nomination and give Democrats the best chance of victory in November.
Barring that, do whatever you can to help Barack Dukakis lose so we can be done with this ridiculously unqualified empty suit even if it means suffering with McCain for four years.
Barack Dukakis as JFK?
Just plain delusional.
I like to think Obama can win without the ignorant racist cracker vote.
Maybe, but he can't win without the "I'm an educated moderate PA voter but I never fell for the BS of BO" vote.
Barack Dukakis is going to lose without us, and good riddance.
This one is funny.
But the point shouldn't be lost that for whatever reason, this group of voters won't vote for Barack Dukakis. (Many of these voters have more than legitimate grounds even if it's racism for some.)
Obamapaths stomping their feet and crying "THEN WE DON'T WANT TO WIN THAT WAY" is so typical of loser candidates of past elections and their lose-loving supporters.
Barack Dukakis won't get anywhere near 270. The number of people I know who literally laugh at the proposition of voting for him is astounding, and these are long time Democrats in liberal states. Their reasons vary but the most frequent is his lack of experience. They view Obama supporters as childish and gullible.
McCain didn't take Bush's comments personally. Hillary Clinton didn't take them personally.
Curiously, Barack Obama took Bush's comments personally.
Everybody who jumped to Obama's defense assumed Bush was talking about Obama.
Could it be that Barack Obama is a weak appeasing soon to be general election loser?
The gaffe machine and his spousal abused excuse making supporters are alienating small town people, females, working class whites each time he tries to lie his way out of a gaffe. I'm loving it.
The Anybody But Barry landslide defeat margin is going to be even bigger than anyone thought in November.
We shouldn't forget that whether or not Obama becomes the next president, he is a big name celebrity right now, and celebrities often have to give pushy, obnoxious, reporters the shove off when they ask questions that are loaded or require a speech to adequately answer.
Barack Dukakis is a Senator and a public service. He is being paid a Senate salary by the people of America as he campaigns. Reporters exist to ask public servants questions on behalf of the American people.
Presidents and presidential candidates are not "celebrities." That's the difference between an Obamapath and a normal person.
I'm just agreeing with the letter below that said we shouldn't read anything into Barry Obama's comment because sometimes these things just happen out of habit. Like when he disclosed whether or not he had an erection to a waitress.
“That’s my phone buzzing there,” he said, gesturing to his right pocket. “I don’t want you to think I’m getting fresh or anything.”
