Watch our left wing as closely as the GOP has to watch it's right..... Change is in the air and people are upset and looking for something new, so our left wing says---Okay, here's a young inexperienced black guy with a pastor who says God Damn America. Jump on board everyone.
It's kinda funny really.
It's not ending it's just the beginning....Even if Obama wins the nomination and miraculously wins the general and then his hope and change thingy falls flat on it's face, Hillary will come after him, the sitting president, again in the 2012 primary.
Obama's initial statements on Wright were the most incredulous, ridiculous words ever uttered by an American politcian. It mortally wounded his candidacy, now we just have to decide if we are going to go ahead and let him lose the general.
Obama forgot about 20 years on Wright.
Is make it double elimination at the Final Four level.
Is simply teaching the democratic party how to fight. Primaries or general. The Obama folks have a generous portion of wimp in their psychological make-ups. That's been changing a little thanks to Hillary. ....We've been picking our nominee early with no fight. How's that been working out for us.....I mean other than the Clintons who have been the only democrats to win, save one 4 year term of Carter, since 1968.
Obama does not qualify to be a leader if he hasn't already called that new preacher at Trinity and told him--"Look Dog, when you get filled up with the holy ghost and start yapping, watch out what the hell you say."
Bill raffled off the cigar.
They are willing to admit to not being first sometimes----The new preacher at Trinity Church in Chicago said in his Easter sermon that what happened to Wright and Obama was a crucifixtion.
Princess Diana and Hillary.
Like a candle in the wind.
(My spine is tingling)
"Any tropical American plant of the genus Tropaeolum having pungent juice and long-spurred yellow to red flowers"
Huh?
I'm mellow about this stuff. I had dinner with my brother the other night. He's not political at all. He dislikes Hillary immensely. He thinks the republicans are turds. He just follows the news and comments. He thinks Obama is the front man for the black radicals. I have no idea what percentage of the population he represents.
I said it's not fair to the entire party to drag that church with him in to the general.
Are for Obama I stand corrected. That means he must be the best candidate for the general.
If Obama is not the nominee for whatever reason no black will vote democratic for a generation? That sounds a bit like blackmail to me.
Were to drop out of that church or drop out of the election.
My scenario? How would the African American community react to Obama doing the honorable thing and dropping out?
I love it. It wasn't but just a little while back that these Obama supporters thought that he would give a warm and fuzzy speech every now and then, all democrats would step aside, then he would give a few more warm and fuzzy speeches and he'd get 60 percent in the general.
Welcome back to planet earth.
It's a longshot but at some point Obama could do the honorable thing and drop out----"I cannot drag my perceived radical church in to this general election at the cost of the entire party, both my supporters and Senator Clinton's. The stakes are too high in this election."
I came too late to cause a stir,
Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal.
I hardly slept the night you wept,
Our secret's safe and still well kept,
Where even George Bush has got soul.
Even George Bush has got.
Soul.
Soul.
And Hillary getting a pass are the chickens coming home to roost.
Is fatally crippled now. I anticipate proceeding forward anyhow as if nothing has happened, then when he loses the general, the Obama people will blame Hillary.
Then the little babies declined their silver medals.
For the Olympics. The best moment in sports history was when Russia heaved that length of the court pass for the layup to beat America in hoops. The replay still gives me goose bumps.
Was when we boycotted the Russian games for attacking Afghanistan. Before we attacked Afghanistan.
I didn't know about any of that stuff for 20 years. I just saw it. I'll give a speech in a couple days about it.
Richardson is a super. Hillary won New Mexico. How's he voting?
There's several months between the convention and election day. If Obama wins the nomination and loses it's because he is an inadequate candidate. Nothing else.
If Obama loses the general, it is Hillary's fault.
Okay we got you on record. Now when Obama loses in the general you can't blame Hillary right?
Are stretched out on the couch. Their only chance of choking is on a swallow of the hot dog or a wing bone down the wind-pipe.
Losing the 5th or 6th round is losing early for them.
Kansas was to win it all. Then they might stop. That's the choices for Kansas now. Chokers or champions.
To stay in until the convention and at the convention try to poach pledged delegates. She wants the democratic party to win the general. That always pisses of the left wing of the party.
"Step aside so this other guy can lose the general."
You are fighting against a whitewater current here. What happens is this....The fans and media start saying something at some point like singling Kansas out as being chokers or regular early losers. Actual numerical comparisons and contrasts are irrelevant. They are just going to keep saying it until they die.
That the people with brains in big positions in the republican party would rather run against Obama.
Then wins North Carolina, Indiana, and Kentucky, they'd be morons not to pick Hillary.
