Original article: Hillary's race against time

Such as....?

Can you lay off the troll act and answer the question already. I'm not on meds and I'm not immature. Sure when it's past obvious I can't have a civil, intelligent conversation with someone like "manos" and "madam fanterly" I may occasionally cave in and annoy them. So what? YOU never even try to resist. But you're not as effective in my opinion. Because you patently cross the line. Whereas I just walk right up to it and dance there for a moment or two. Much more fun actually.

The support my entire extended family has for Obama is dependent on nothing other than what the man has said and done.

Like WHAT????? Please don't cite me that pap about traffic violations others have. You have a man promising to CHANGE THE WORLD who has offered for all practical purposes no details at all about how he will do so in the context of all political reality. And has no history of doing anything to make a dent in the REAL problems of people's lives.

My mother used to say that a goal without a plan and a time-frame is a dream. How right she was.

We're not media dupes. We're not sexist pigs.

I didn't say you were any of those things, for Godsakes. I said that to people who aren't AA, his anti-war posturing were the roses he threw at your feet. Do you deny this?

That would be a tough one for my wife, mother, two daughters, three aunts, et al. Jeez. Grow up. Look at the numbers.

I have. That's the problem.

The approach to Florida and Michigan tells me all I need to know about Hillary's ethics. Utter bulspitzer.

I know this is inconvenient for you but he actually ADVERTISED in Florida. Which is something HE wasn't supposed to do. She didn't. Both names were on the ballot. She won handily because she's more popular with elderly voters, even including elderly black voters there seems to be some evidence ot support. Maybe they've seen and heard it all and want someone they think can deliver.

He also elected to take his name of the Michigan ballot by his own free choice. He didn't have to.

Add to that the entire mess is the fault of that buck-toothed moron, Howard Dean, neither of the two candidates in reference actually. I told people he was a disaster and not to support him as DNC lead and I was right.

And if you want to talk about fairness, how is a caucus skewed to people who can take a day off to do it (or who don't work) fair and democratic?

Anyway, all of this is academic because we're toast in November.

true.

me, it was clear why Hillary Clinton didn't leave Bill after the impeachment scandal--she didn't want to give their enemies the satisfaction. In the case of the Clintons, and not the Spitzers, there were malevolent forces out to destroy the husband, the wife and the marriage.

true, plus, embarassing as Monica is, at least it was an affair with someone who clearly wanted to have it and in her own naive, trashy way, she was kind of charming. Not quite the same as finding out your spouse is hanging out on dirtbag websites shelling out 2.5 kilobucks for a couple of hours with a quasi-scank.

A travesty

She says the truth that's obvious to any two year old and predictably the Obambi campaign and their allies in the press determined to make the suffering sop the nominee all rush out with the race-card collectively and do their best to whip up a frenzy over this non-issue.

She had the smarts to take the ammo away. Good for her.

An impressive list of accomplishments that nobody can find

The whole idea that the Clinton campaign is putting out there - that Obama is nothing but a speech - when he has an impressive CV of accomplishments

Certainly not his constituents anyway. Now really, are you thinking that citing his record of getting some traffic laws changed is going to stand up next to a man who has served on the Senate Armed Forces Intelligence Committee for 30 years?

Get real. They won't. This isn't Xanadu; it's the 21st century in America.

Enjoy your race-baiting while you can, dewd

Now she is almost certainly assured a hallowed place in the hall of fame of Hillary's many mentally unhinged political hacks.

Because it's certainly going to bite you (and all of us) on the butt in November.

whatever, Tom Payne

Nobody can have an intelligent conversation with you. Not for long anyway.

As I said it's all academic at this point and anyone who knows jack about political strategy knows it too.

On cable and "fairness" and transparent b.s.

I do know a thing or two about cable and I know you buy it in blocks depending on the dates it's going to be aired.

Seeing as how there was no other primary occuring at the time EXCEPT Florida it occurs to me that this great icon of integrity might not have advertised on cable during the Florida primary.

As stands it's just the same transparent way of his doing something unethical and then hypocritically accusing the other side of it.

As usual.

It's been a real carnival indeed and it will in many ways be merciful when it's finally over.
