  • Hey Obama Supporters

    Obama has raised none of the problems that Republicans would use against her in the fall.

    yeah, race-baiting, two muslim fathers, the black version of the KKK for a religious mentor for 20 years and the fact he was voting on parking tickets less than four years ago.. NO problem. They won't use his most liberal status against him either I supppose.

    They are going to use the Bosnia incident and her tea chat in Ireland in ads and make a mockery of her. They will show that she went to the opera on the first attack at the World Trade Centers. They will show clips like these non-stop on Fox. They will mock her experience in the White House and as first lady of Arkansas.

    Yes, so what? Let them try. Americans remember her in the office, know she's married to the best President of our lifetimes, and remember a booming economy and peace and prosperity.

    If they keep attacking her on her gender it will work against them, not for them.

    They will talk about how her health care program is socialized medicine because it requires a mandate.

    Let them. Socialized medicine is looking pretty good to most Americans these days.

    They will make insinuations about Bill's sexual practices

    Tired stuff. Meanwhile. I'll just bet there's no sexual extracurriculars in the lifespan of the half-black egomanic legislator from hawaii. Reportedly in fact his affairs and their fights about it are legendary.

  • Dean: Like what?

    I think he did a good job with the 50 state strategy and not just focusing on a few groups around the country.

    Yeah, where? Please don't say along the Ohio valley (Northern Kty, Southern Indiana and Ohio.)

    Those areas have been long Democratic, it was 2004 for example that Baron Hill's district went to Sodrell for the first time. And we won 3 seats in Southern Indiana from Republicans that had been lost by less than 200 votes in the first place.

    Raum Emmanuel got too much credit for 2006.

    It's Rahm Emmanuel. And he got too little credit. Dean did nothing; had no plan. 50 state rhetoric sounds great but if he has a plan to convert over the south or the west I've yet to see it.

    It was Rahm Emmanuel and Schumer who went to Dean and told him he had no plan and that they did and produced the cherry-picked list of races we could win back such as the above mentioned, and other famous ones such as the rightleaning Congressman we placed in North Carolina. They asked Dean to turn over cash and he did.

    But not enough. We could have probably won another 17 seats in the House if Dean hadn't held back the cash. It was for this reason that party leaders wanted to replace him with Ford.

    And now, after this debacle, if EVERYONE isn't asking for his head, than you're all on drugs and completely hopeless.

  • @Reality Based Liberal LOL

    Oh wait, she knows Rev. Wright. Clinton? But she voted for the war and a bill to ban flag burning, and she made a campaign ad that suggested a dead person supported her candidacy, against the will of the surviving sons. Kennedy? That's dead in the water (sorry, it was so natural). Byrd? KKK. Mr. Rogers? Yes, Mr. Rogers

    Yeah, Flag burning and a 93 year old's once-upon-a-time supposed KKK membership. Now THOSE are the ISSUES that are going to get the Dems the 60 million swing voters they must get to win the presidency!!

    LOL. And you're calling yourself "Reality Based". LOL. As if anyone behind the Obama "fervor" is based in reality at least before November 5th, although I fear the bloodbath coming will be apparent way before then.

    In fact per yourself and a few others I've come to believe that reality-based used anywhere with "liberal" - or at least how some of you obamateur's define yourselves so, is just a total oxymoron.

    SWM - (definitely not an Obama "liberal").

  • Obama lost by race-baiting even before Wright'; all Wright does is seal it.

    Obama, the dreamy uniter, all upstaged with Oprah (the only reason he got Iowa was celebrity fever for a few moments).

    But it was over when the "uniter" began attacking the Clinton's innocent speeches as "racist" in South Carolina. That's when he made race the big point of his campaign and lost the swing voters.

    Dems can NOT win a presidency without the swing voters we got in 2006. No way. No way in hell. And no way in hell is Obama going to bring in southern and heartland Republicans who consider him right up their with the antiChrist at this point.

    We is toast thanks to the nut lefto's. Again.

  • yeah, Ron, Swiftboating sure

    Save it for someone unfamiliar with Wright's KKK like sermons. WE've all seen him rant.

    However, the fact is even if he WERE giving sunshine and roses sermons, the GOP IS going to try to swiftboat him with it. And they did and the Obamateur got all flustered and drowned.

    The idea was to have a winning candidate. Oh wait. This is the leftwing of the Dem party we're talking to. Nevermind.

  • Sorry - you don't get off with that b.s.

    Obama will probably lose to McCain. Clinton CERTAINLY would have lost to McCain, but we don't have to worry about that now. That's just plain fact

    No, here's a FACT. You can pass go and go right to hell.

    If you sh*theads hadn't come along with you videos and your amateur half-black dreamy (but unviable) candidate and willfully made the primary a race war, than Mrs. Clinton would be leading John McCain by about 30 points right now.

    After wrecking the Dems chances so royally with this self-serving amateur prick and your determintion to either a) have a half-black candidate or b) "punish" Hillary for not being looney-lefty enough you better not even TRY to claim that she would have lost too.

    No, she wouldn't have. Not if you clowns had just STFU and let our strongest candidate lead.

    And if after this bloodbath, I'm betting not one of these Obama girlies outside of Berkeley or Madison will even admit to having supported him.
