Jack - you are assuming the media is not willfully complicit.

The Limbaugh story is mostly myth. He came out with that story after it was exposed that some republicans had been doing just the opposite of what Limbaugh now claims. Republicans have been voting in large numbers for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC open primaries, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC caucuses from day one

Limbaugh is using reverse psychology on you to cover up.

Yes, I know. But don't expect the black panther types and the religious rightwingers posing as them here to say so. (doncha think how it's cute that they come up with all these funny little alias's that somehow all sound the same and write the same, and issue profanity the same...).

The REPUBLICANS have been trying to choose the weakest DEMOCRATIC candidate to run against in November. And also to prevent the possibility of a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama DREAM TEAM match up.

Of course.

I am really surprised the media has not picked this fact up with all their experts, and analyst. It’s as plain as the nose on your face. This is why Obama has mostly only been able to win red state caucuses, and primaries. And no big blue states primaries.

You're assuming the media isn't willfully complicit.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate.

Well even the dumbest rock would understand you can't win without NY, Mass, PA, CA and NJ as a Dem. But again, you're assuming the screamers and hate-mongers here are capable of critical thinking or reasoning. They're not. Between the black panther types and the Republican "little elfs", reason doesn't have a chance.

Neither is going to quit until Barrack Obama is the nominee and gets cremed in the biggest landslide since Dukakis.

10% Lead.

Yes, I know. She had a 23% lead before Barrack Obama and the religoius right re-registered almost 1 million Republicans.

U just keep telling yourself that.

While Florida is a state that is important for a candidate to win it's pretty easy to assume that NY, Mass and Cali would vote for pretty much anyone on the democratic ticket. Those are 3 solidly blue states, McCain has no shot at them.

Yeah, you just ignore history and all the evidence to the contrary. Have a good bottle of strong tequilla handy on election night, and stay far away from those of us who told you so for your own saftey.

Post as you want.

Very Republican to accuse others of what you are doing (is it "debaser" now?). But then Rove's been working with your "candidate" or pretend candidate all along.

oops, I guess I should add "As-Salamu Alaykum" seeing as how I'm one of them "black panther types" ;)

Possibly. Not that I care which you are Either way it's your folks - blacks and the lower income whites of the radical right that will be hurt most by McCainonomics.

At that point feed 'em your vulgarity.

Just because.

Just because Obama didn't win these states in the primaries doesn't mean he wouldn't win them in the general election

Yes, surely not. But reasoned people would consider the electoral map and the states won and lost by Gore through Kerry rather than hanging on a wind and a prayer against all science.

Got a few new alias tonight Uncle Fester

yeah, sure me and the 90% of the rest of the country that won't vote for Obama because he's an inept, self-serving fraud, surely must all be "klansmen".

Keep telling yourself that dude. Words and rhetoric are unfortuantely all a lot of people are going to have for food a few years into a McCain presidency. Including a LOT of black people.

Then you sit there and feel good about turning the entire black community on a bogus racist frenzy against the only Administration since Harry Truman that gave a damn about blacks.

But please don't cry publicly. Most of us have no sympathy for people too stupid to know up from down.

Huh??

1. I never said I would vote for McCain. I said I wouldn't vote for Barrack Obama. Not now. His campaign rushing out to register Republicans to vote for him KNOWING they won't in November was just the last straw for me.

2. I never said that the Clinton's were "entitled" to the black vote. Neither did they.

I simply ask people to be intelligent enough to know which side of the bread their butter is on.

You have a white person that has a long history and commitments to policies which benefit the poor -which like it or not affects a disproportionate number of blacks.

You have a half-black person that has merely used office for his own means and betterment.

To me it's a no-brainer. But if you vary, by all means, GFI - President McCain ain't going to affect my life all that much really.

Sounds like fair game to me!

Pelosi can find money for the bankrupt DNC perhaps from Obama's AA supporters in South Carolina.

Or perhaps Obama can lend her some of the money the GOP is probably paying him to lose this race for them.

Wednesday, March 26, 2008 03:52 PM

The Obamateur should concede.

Not only can't he win any big electoral state, but hte things he's had to do even to win red states like pander to the worst stripe of black racism and register Republicans who want him to lose as Democrats proves he's the most destructive force on the Democratic prospects since the Dixiecrats.

Definitely time for NObama to take the GOP money he got and leave.

@"Tom Payne"

login in under your 20 or so accounts and have a vulgarity contest with yourself. It's about all you do well best I can see.

It's not Hillary's campaign trying to shut down early and lock out millions of voters.

And NOBODY should let the self-entitled turds of Obamateur's and the religious right and Republican country-clubbers let them get stripped of their right to vote in this election either.

whatever name calling Obama and his repulsive supporters can dish out but can't take in is NOTHING compared to what the people have been through the past seven years and it s NOTHING like what they will be going through when McCain sweeps the floor with Obama.

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN.
