"you're going to lift my autobiography from an oil stain on the garage floor?"

You can do that? Had no idea.

No really, it took 3 minutes on google and jumped right out. Not stalking you. Neither is Senator Obama.

So sorry. You're right. It was proudtexas girl that referred to Barrack Hussein Obama while insulting him. I always assumed you all were the same person but I guess not. Sorry again for acusing you of being a republican. That is an awful thing to call somebody.

I knew it!

KateTx from Ronaldreagan.com (a sort of sign in mourning book for President Reagan's funeral:

"Thank you Mrs. Reagan for sharing your husband with us."

Maybe tomorrow I'll look again for "democrat party" to confirm your trollness.

"You are hereby forbidden to use the surname Clinton and the adjective Rovian in the same sentence."

Kate, fair enough. You are hereby forbidden to use Senator Obama's middle name. From you, it can only be meant as an insult.

That's so republican by the way. I'm going to have to look through your many passionate letters and see if you refer to the stupidity of the "democrat party".

Original article: Tight race in Guam caucuses

Hey Kate, I'm from Texas, too!

Ugly?

Penn, Wolfson, the Big Dog, and occasionally HRC herself have dismissed Obama wins in states because they were caucuses which aren't democratic, because they were too small so they don't matter, and because the African-American population was so big so what did we expect. Are you saying Clinton operatives haven't been pushing those narratives? Have you been paying attention or too busy slamming all things Obama?

I wish I was making this stuff up.

Ugly? We'll talk ugly when I see how you and Shawn and lolcait and cythera handle Obama's eventual nomination. I expect most of you guys to simply disappear back to your right wing blogs having done your part for operation Chaos. (or is it KAOS? HRC got THIS close!)

The characterizations

are a little too Mallard Fillmore for me. But I like it anyway.

Because she came so close...

will this be trumpted as a Clinton upset although it is rather small...and caucusy...with people of color? Because so far, if a state is any one of those (much less all three), it doesn't seem to matter in Clinton math.

Are you sure you wouldn't be happier on Redstate or LGFT? I mean all this progressive talk is probably giving you the vapors.

By the way, you aren't allowed to refer to the current democratic front runner as "Hussein" unless you religiously refer to your preferred candidate as "Sidney". (You can call the other democratic candidate "Inevitable" or something like that.)

brewmn is not an obama supporter

Check out their other postings; I could only stomach the first page or two but it is pretty clear he/she doesn't like anybody and is pretty foul-mouthed about everyone.

damnthatxanadu

And Clinton's pandering? I forgot; if she does it, it doesn't count.

Whatever he did or said in the past, when going national, he does what makes the most sense. I'd like that in a president for a change.

Original article: Quote of the day

Sometimes I feel Like I am stuck in a remake of the Princess Bride

Elephantman and Kristol WANT me to think that they support Clinton because that would make me support Obama IF I DIDN'T THINK I was too smart for them and that they really want me to support Obama because they are really scared of Clinton...

Sheesh...just pass the wine and I'll take my chance on the Ibogaine.

Original article: Quote of the day

If I were a true democrat,

I would view demonization and vilification by Bill Kristol as a marker of success.

He, and people like Scaife, would be high on my list of folks I would NOT want an endorsement by.

If I were a true democrat, that is.

By hobbled

Kate means the nomination was hers to lose, by playing it out according to the DNC rules she lost it, and now she wants it back. And the rules say "no".

You want hobbled, Try hanging Mark Penn and Colombia off your left leg and your once esteemed, now red-faced hysterical, husband off your right while campaigning. Now THAT's hobbled

A question for tiresome cythera

So if/when Obama is the candidate, do you plan to stop the venom? Even if Clinton tells all her supporters to behave and act like democrats? Or if Clinton somehow pulls this out, do you plan to reserve some bile for McCain? (He's and empty suit, too, you know.)

Or do you plan to continue to trot out the same old tired bs until after the election...or maybe even later against President empty suit Obama?

Just curious...I only read one out of every four or five of your rants anyways.

I grow weary

about people getting the vapors about coded sexism, coded racism, coded ageism. People, pundits and candidates are talking 24/7 and make mistakes when speaking off the cuff. They say things that, if they were writing, would look at the verbiage and say, "well, that's not going where I want it to go" and edit it out. However, once launched in the world of videotape and digital capture, it's out there. (Never had an email you wanted to recapture? Never make a statement and, as your lips were still saying the words, your brain screamed "Nooooooo")

Most people are tired of Clinton because of they are tired of all things Clinton, not because of sexism. Many are distrustful of Obama because they feel he is too naieve to take on the republicans, not because he is black. And some are scared that McCain will win the presidency because he has become a pandering hack, not because he is old.

Get over it or, to coin a phrase, "Move on."
