Glenn knows how to pander to the left's victim identify, for sure!

I suppose it was the press, the media, Hillary Clinton, "racist" whites, the GOP and so forth that just MADE the left, once again Johnny, align behind a guy with two Muslim stepfathers named Hussein, who has more skeletons in his closet than a graveyard (dirtbags from Rezko to Wright to Ayers), that takes money from K-Street lobbyists while he professes the need for change,and that couldn't even be bothered to fill a single year in the Senate before insisting he was ready for the Presidency. ETC Ad Nauseum.

IOW, once again the left put up a preposterous candidate (at the encouragement of (supposed former) rightwing columnists and bloggers, the MSM and the religious rightwing, and now that it's obvious he's a weak, preposterous candidate it's everyones fault except their own. As usual ad nauseum

Everything you needed to know about Obama's candidacy was there for you from the start. All you had to do was visit the Free Republic or any other rightwing bastion after he won Iowa. They were pissing in their pants with glee, not shaking.

Always always somebody elses fault.

Unfortunately for you someones "past performance" is a good indicator of the future performance.

Call me old-fashioned but I believe the best way to determine someone's credibility is to look at what they did in the past.

Smears from the GOP and now the nut left not withstanding, the nation had it's best years of my life under the Clinton Admin.

Whereas Obama just seems to walk away from each job he has with a lot in his own pocket and nothing at all in anyone he was supposed to be representing.

Obama - The same old demagogue

Obama has revealed himself to be just another loud-mouthed Sharpton-style demagogue with nothing to offer except rhetoric and self-promotion.

Sad, but true.

Meanwhile McCain courts hispanic voters.

Hispanic voters, long Hillary fans are now disgusted iwth the leftwingers and the blacks and are switching allegiances.

Way to go dumb-butt lefties. Try to pander to blacks who can never be pleased anyway and then lose the growing important vote that matters.

Leftwing couldn't find it's way out of a closet with a map and a flashlight.

Joke.

The simple answer to this, of course, is Obama

Yeah. LOL. Based on all that great CHANGE he brought to the poor of Chicago he represented for 11 years, right.

Even if he had a snowball's chance in hell of becoming President, his entire background is one of being out for his own gain and poor judgement.

NObama.

get it? You will not shove him down my throat and you certainly won't shove him down the throat of Americans who have told you over and over and over and over they want no part of him by any electoral math.

@Delores

honey, you needed to get the cartoon like trolls in your own side to STFU with the before worrying about the specs in anyone elses. But it's well past that now isn't it.

Obama: Same old demagogue, same old vulgar supporters

Logged in by any other alias "tom payne" still shines through as the most vulgar cretan of all of Nobama's vulgarians.

Monday, May 5, 2008 05:02 PM

Dear You NOBama

Of the Nobama many aliases:

But not near so convincing as has been your revolting vulgarity, mathematical electoral incomptence, Muslm sympathizing, race-baiting, negative-campaign projecting and doofus-like persistance in insisting that America might ever accept your Empty Suit, Nobama....

Obama is wrong - about just about everything.

Obama has a long history of pisspoor judgement ranging from his dirty associations (Resko,Axelman,Ayers,Wright,etc, etc, etc) to his policy which of what he hasn't "borrowed" from Mrs. Clinton is non-existant save for war grandstanding and voting for Cheney's energy bill.

And his lack of judgement is only surpassed by his sense of entitlement and that of his most vulgar supporters which he feels so strongly for he is very willing to divide the party and ensure a McCain win.

If his history has any weight, Obama Hussein and his loud-mouthed embarassing wife have long cared more for lining their own bank account than for anyone struggling at the gas pump or anywhere else.

Just the home he lived in and got from dirty associations while he was representing the most destitute of Chicago is in itself tellingly shameful of his character.

The more one sees of Obama the less there is to like. Scary to say but it truly is more comforting to think of the nation in the hands of John McCain which is saying a LOT from a lifelong Dem.

@treehugger - I second it.

I have never read so much ugliness in my whole life. This is disgusting.

Me either. The pure vitriol, sexism, reverse racism, hatred of democracy and vulgarity that has defined and highlighted Obama's campaign has near turned me off the shambles of the Democratic party forever.

Barring a Clinton victory and presidency (there won't be won with Obama and there MAY not be one even for her now it's so degraded), I think I am hanging up politics forever. Damned unfortunate I can't afford an island.

I too am nauseated beyond anything I can describe.
