gee,how'd we just know they'd call the entire country racist instead of ackowledging the myriads of flaws in their Messiah.
yawn.
I'm seeing the same thing on the left right now. Learning about it will help you to understand why people seem so trapped in their patterns of thinking - and why the current progressive efforts to "frame" the debate are so ineffective.
to put it nicely.
election's down to Obama defending states he needed to have locked and such that he can't lose a single one of 5 battleground states.
Stick a fork in the SS Obama.
I'd feel sorry for you zealots if you weren't so obnoxious and entirely ineducable.
howard dean and the DNC need to come on stronger
LOL!!!! funniest thing I've read yet.
That's right! You've got Howdy Doody's 50 state strategy to fall back on. LOL!
ISN'T IT POSSIBLE THAT OBAMA IS THE WRONG BLACK CANDIDATE? LOFTY SPEECHES , FREE ROCK CONCERTS, LACK OF SPECIFICS, TOO MUCH USE OF THE RACE CARD, POOR VETTING OF QUESTIONABLE CONNECTIONS,LACK OF EXPERIENCE, LACK OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS? HE BECAME THE CANDIDATE BECAUSE OF HIS RACE, NOT IN SPITE OF IT.
HAROLD FORD LOST BECAUSE OF RACE. HE WAS THE BETTER CANDIDATE
Word.
the entire reason you picked this loser candidate is because of some ridiculous anti-Iraq speech he gave five years ago to please his Iranian fund-raisers.
Hell, you turned protesting Iraq into a one-note Johnny cult.
Which is why you are now being humiliated.
He's done. McCain has pulled way ahead, has his territory all locked up.Obama doesn't and is cornered into not being able to lose even one of six states.
It is so over.
You should have listened to your betters (y'know over half the party) when we explained in great detail why this would happen and you needed an experienced candidate with a lot less baggage and a lot more accomplishment. You definitely should have wondered why a GOP owned media would be skewering Hillary and coddling this candidate.
Go join the koolaide drinkers and blame it on America's "racists" now.
Obama won't carry Ohio because he doesn't understand Ohio anymore than many Ohioans understand him. Given that middle-class values alienation, these voters will move enough to what is familiar, McCain, than not.
Obama loses not because of race. He loses because he and those who nominated him don't understand what coming from the center means. It doesn't mean left and it doesn't mean right. It means the freakin' center.
"...about the party's great experiment in nominating Obama." Well, I'm just glad that the Democratic nuts in my party thought that experiments were more important than electability at a time when our country doesn't need to make a political exclamation point in November -- it needs a strong leader with a strong vision. Unfortunately, neither of these two candidates comes close to articulating a strong vision. McCain gets the nod by default when contrasted to an Obama. Clinton would have been leading McCain by over 10 points right now and the race a done deal! What a pity.
Word. The worst part, is many don't grasp yet, but Obama has destroyed the Democratic party for good.
These people leaving, working moms, grandparents, hispanic families ; they're not coming back.
So I'd just like to thank the liberal wing of the party for once again shooting us all in nuts again. What the hell, wasn't like there was anything at stake or anything.
Even forgetting near a year of Obama's nutty supporters calling Hillary a "bitch", a "ho", and the Ma Kettle of the KKK... What good is after all is foising incompetent leftwing idiots on the party from Howard Dean to Barrack Obama when it merely means the Republicans win and make the court appointments.
Palin has in some ways done more for women than the left has since it (finally just once) shut the F. up and so Clinton could get elected. Just that she's proven it's possible for a woman with a family to be smart,competent and in charge (while her husband takes care of the kids).
Incidentally the am windbags of the right are having a fieldday painting Obama's supporters as the agents of intolerance they are. Several quotes directly from Salon.com Palin threads calling her a "stepford wife","blowup doll" ,etc are being read. The worst part is they're attributing it to "feminists" rather than looneytunes Obama zealots.
Once again, a big thank you to the lunatic fringe left for finally and permanently destroying the Democratic party.
I yearn for a ballot option such as "non of the above" to show my absolute lack of confidence in either party as well as the "candidates."
My sentiments exactly.
