Let's see. The left destroyed and divided their party, for no good reason, a candidate that had
1. been an instrumental part of the best Administration of our lifetimes.
2. actually HAD accomplished and worked her butt off for progressive causes
3. Actually HAD taken on the GOP attack machine -and won -three entire times. Three!
4.was mopping McCain with the floor and handily set to beat him in states Dems hadn't won in 3 elections: Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Colorado. West Va. Heck even Oklahoma was in play again.
And you did this for what? An overly ambitious ,pocket lining lightweight named Hussein-Obama who gave a fancy Iraq speech for the benefit of not you, but his Iranian fundraisers.
I told you the GOP would destroy him in a week. I was wrong. It took two days
Most pathetic is the way you're all now groveling for the Clinton's to save you from yourselves. They can't even if they wanted to now. Ostriches can't be saved.
Your extremist,cowardly attacks on the middle-left and insistance on an entirely ridiculous candidate make you worthy of the humiliation the GOP will continue to dump on you.
In the end Barrack Obama will get no more than 4 or 5 states. If that. There IS no youth vote that can save you.
You deserve what you're getting now. And don't worry if if you learn from this,in four years yet more foolish little children will make the same mistake. This has been going on for 30 years as the lunatic fringe insisting they were the REAL Democrats alienated one constituency after another. This time you lost working Moms and hispanics. There IS no recovery.
You got a Harvard law candidate from Chicago with a paper thin resume that "won" over a candidate who would have handily beat McCain and WAS qualified - this by pandering to the elitist white winesippers and by playing the race card. And you're so in love with him because of a five year old Iraq speech for the benefit of his Iranian fundraisers.
Like even my six year old could see the GOP was gonna mop the floor with your head and toilet water five months ago.
You didn't HAVE to snatch defeat again, but you just couldn't help yourselves. Go cry in your coffee alone.
you don't get it. by insisting almighty obama of the great anti-iraq speech and reverend wright be your candiate and making even hillary seem too far to the right for you, you PROVED in most people's minds what the GOP has been saying for 20years , esp the past 8. That the Dems are completely controlled by leftwing extremists.
Issues won't help you now. It's over. Unfortunately as I said sometime ago, Obama is likely to take the razor thin Dem majority in Congress down with him.
The left didn't HAVE to snatch defeat from victory's jaws again. But let's face it; it's what they do best. I'm digusted AND done with this and you're going to find I'm far from alone I'm afraid.
yeah,yer std reply to everyone u alienate. I suppose GOP trolls real or imagined MADE u commit pol. suicide again & nominate an empty-suit named Hussein Obama and his obnoxious family and supposed church.
nah u did it to yourself & after what u foul-mouthed maggots did to the established qualified candidate and your bald-faced misogyny, it's a pleasure watching Sara Palin chew your greedbag up and watch you hissing helplessly. LOL.
Oh,and I'd avoid the empty chair. Probably giving the GOP ideas for commercials about Nobama's legislative record.;-)
PS - the troll is the lunatic fringe of the left.
Or they may not be. But 1 thing IS certain. There are more of them than leftwing fringes. which is why u needed the indies & moderate evangelicals to even have a prayer (pardon pun).
therefore what IS clear is the lefty-lefts r ostriches for insisting on their empty suit Hussein Obama that since mid-primary was obvious had NO appeal to anyone but blacks and wine-sipping lefties.
So tell us all about "idiot" now. they're going to have Prez. & Congress. You will again have your wretched whining.
Republican politicians like abortion as a wedge issue. Most "fundies" as you so winningly call them r actually sincere.
so for 30 yrs you've KNOW this. Why did you ostriches learn how to win an election and stop shooting yourself in the ass.
Obama's community organizing if you want 2 call it that, was long enuf to get an office and then to run for the ill. legislative. he made not a single diff. of any measure in south chitown.
These r the sorts of questions reg. dems who understood what the GOP would do to him implored u 2 ask nine months ago.
But u had 2 b the same old one-note johnys & still,30 years later can't see that if a candidate reasonates with the fringe left ethusiastically, it's a pretty good indicator u have a bad candidate and 2) glaringly obvious barrack obama had more baggage than an airport cargo.
however, you wanted him now stand by & watch as you lose big.
you never ever learn.
It doesn't help u. esp. as 2 most of u it means any person of faith that isn't completely in the closet about it. (or Muslim).
You have Barrack Obama's brother living in the slums of Kenya on a buck a day as Barrack/Michelle drove around in a Mercedes thru the slums of chitown and changed NOTHING for the poor home or abroad.
Jesus,per the Book of Matthew doesn't shine so brightly on that sort of stuff. Whereas all the "fundies" think they're doing is saving life. Whether u agree or not,they r quite sincere about it.
The Repub moneyboys have capitalized on it politically the most, but that's different.
As I see it, per these "progressive" men on the board,a "fundie" is someone who gets married, lives in a red state and doesn't take sex vacations to the 3rd world.
