Original article: Some free advice for Obama

Idiot as I may be I've yet to confuse a life insurance company with a health insurance co.

Considering that the article on John Hancock is about it leading in life insurance sales - and it says so in the headline... you're an idiot.

And yes, John Hancock does operate in the USA.

refer to title. Your original blathering was about health insurance companies and their supposed record profits remember? When I pointed out you were citing as fact bleeding heart rhetoric from an opinion article you came back with that nonsense you'd cherry picked about a life insurance company.

You obviously no nothing about healthcare at all, and when were called to task for it began your inane spitting and hissing that defines the Vulgar Ignoranti known as the Obamateurs.

Therefore you'd be better off to just sit there and be vulgar with your Partners in Oinkiness, scratching nad grunting, rather than to make an even further fool of yourself by entering conversations where you are so obviously unqualified.

Original article: Some free advice for Obama

One can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps

Fine summary of a major debacle for Obama if the truth about Rezco ever becomes true. A man clearly unsuited for the Presidency.

And even if Obama were the most qualified candidate running instead of the least so, his supporters would make any rational person run for their lives with their regular cries of racist persecution when nobody is talking about race at all, their vulgar slurs, grimey pornographical recounts and vivid descriptions of anal sex which sound a lot like how they could have passed their time in prison.

Absolutely!

You are a condescending prick

Absolutely! Particularly when the person I'm engaging in has demonstrated themselves a woeful knee-jerk in their single effort to engage substantively after a 90000 message carnival.

I leave you to the Traveling Road Show you pull your cart with.

Believe what you want to believe

first, apologies to MaggieP for confusing her with someone else.

re: Republicans have not carried New York in a general election since Reagan in 1984. New York has supported the Democratic candidate in every elections since. That means in addition to supporting Bill, they also voted for Dukakis, Gore, and Kerry.

  1. yes, but not to McGovern or Mondale. And now how do you think Obama will fare after running his arrogant, race-baiting campaign in the state of the woman who is an extremely popular Senator?
  2. That's leaving aside how you win as a Democrat without NJ and California alone. : both states Obama lost by double digits and where the hispanic vote is crucial . A few other inconveniences that I've repeatedly presented but never get more than vulgar hate-speech back when I ask:
  3. McCain is actually from the SW and is popular with hispanics. Obama isn't. Why would you assume that hispanics in the southwest would just transfer their allegiance from HRC to Obama despite all evidence to the contrary. So now AZ,NM,CO are not in play
  4. McCain will certainly pick Crist as his VP, which assures a Florida victory without HRC on the ticket, particuarly as Howard the Boondoggle alienated those voters.
  5. New Jersey and Pennsylvania, must-wins for any Dem, have disproportionate numbers of hispanic and Catholic voters: both demographics that Obama has fared atricously with.
  6. Even California is in-play with it's big hispanic block along with Asian voters for whom Obama has demonstratedly had virtually NO appeal even with Oprah and the entire Kennedy clan hoofing for him.
  7. Ohio, by all means the state that determines the direction of the country has gone solidly for HRC. It's entirely fair to say that if there's any group of people for whom Obama's elitist and smug promises of CHANGE AND HOPE reasonate any worse with than hispanics, it's regular working class whites who have been left destitute by the economy.
  8. The Obamateur's keep spewing this nonsense bout his delegagtes while refusing to address the fact that they represent caucuses of less than 10% of the primary voters, those who just happened to have all day to sit and wait 10 hours to be counted - hardly represenative of the voter on election day. I'm failing to see how 10% of affluent liberals wins an election.

Well, I've asked all these questions before many times and have yet to have an intelligent coherent reply that makes any sense. Rather typically I just get about 50 responses of spewing at the mouth hate calling me a racist and making references to anal sex and lubricant and other really classy stuff that I'm sure will bring the entire country behind Obama's banner. Just like Nader's and Dean's were gonna.

So believe what you want to believe. I see no sense in wasting anymore time on something that already has a predetermined outcome.
