It was a Clinton that delivered the largest thumping that a democratic candidate has administered in forever.....8 points.
"Bush replaced booze with Jesus."
Castro was a dictator. When he took power from the American puppet Batista, he came to America first and was rejected. Then the American government did everything in it's power to topple the new government.
What do you expect but paranoia, power consolidation, and flirting with American enemies?
That sounds a lot like why Bush was gonna get beat in 2004.
Another thread of Obama supporters doing their Billy Graham imitations.
Welcome to politics. The pledged delegates are not forced to vote a certain way. Therefore in a very close race they become fair game. Look, Hillary wants the job and she is going for it. I find that admirable.
I'd think she was taking the easy way if she just thought all that is necessary is to travel around delivering sugar-coated words, some stolen, to adoring groupies.
Versus plagiarism on the stump. All's fair in love and politics.
Have to vote for Hillary right? She kicked ass in Mass.
Under the mistaken impression that the opponent in a general won't be playing win at all costs?
On the YES WE CAN CHANGE list.......America is not going to be win at all costs any more.
A boatload of right wing Clinton hating votes in crossover voting in the Texas primary, that will not be voting for him in November. This will lead to delegates for him.
That's pretty dirty. Hillary can't even talk to the delegates?
Settle down. The Clinton's are not going to destroy the democratic party. You sound like Bush and the terrorists.
Will we all be speaking Arabic and wearing veils?
It's a free for all. That's the rules. What's not sinking in here?
If Obama has 50 more delegates than Hillary and doesn't immediately offer her the V.P. slot, he's destroying the democratic party.
Stir up the Clinton hating and that's more delegates for Obama in crossover voting.
Before the race even happens that is determinetive.....LOL..... Okay present that view to Hillary's delgates if you don't get 2025.
Changing the rules in midstream........1911 is the same as 2025.
Trust me, the sugar speeches are going to get tedious and weary in a general and poll numbers will fall.
There you go. Everyone for Hillary, and Hillary herself, are all dishonest. Who sounds like scooter and elephantman?
Because she wants the democratic party to win in November. She thinks she's better suited to accomplish that, and once again short of someone with 2025, it is her duty to fight.
I suspect she thinks the Obama traveling faith-healing-tent show will collapse in the general.
Then she's lying...........The Obama crowd has a few infantry divisions, and growing, that is no different than the wing nuts.
Anything bad said about Obama is an outrageous falsehood. Anything bad about Hillary has substance.
Better describes the dupes, mouths agape, listening to Obama deliver the verbal sugar. The they went home telling people about the great speaker they saw.
Because if he did half his speeches would be the words he says, and the other half credit for who said it all first.
Yeah, but Obama is totally sincere with each speech, repeating the same lines over and over, with the same pauses, emotion, and dramatics---whether he's repeating his own emotional words over and over again place after place, or someone elses.
Now Hillary is the scapegoat for political acting. Added to the pile of her other scapegoat roles, given to her by her opponents.
It should be just bad when Obama does it.
Or at least win the nomination. That will be Obama and his televangelist skills.........The question is how that will fly in a general. We have been the side preaching against that stuff all these years.
I wonder why the Clintons caused such polarization and partisanship. Maybe because they are the only democrats that could beat them........nah.
About Obama ending the partisanship and bickering and stalemate, is pure fantasyland. It's televangelism.
Obama says the words, then the crap hits the fan, then he says that guy said it was all right, then they run to that guy and he says yeah I said it was all right. It's all bullshit. From the speeches to the explanations.
"For example, His Hopeness tells rallies that we are the change we have been waiting for, but if we are the change we have been waiting for then why have we been waiting since we've been here all along?"
Now that is rich.
As I said earlier the act will become tedious and weary in a general. But his Hopeness and his Hopelings can still hope.
I got "His Hopeness" from David Brooks. He said it was okay.
Brooks needs to write factual stuff like Hillary is Her Witchness.
Rules the Kingdom of caucuses.....
So far there have been 23 caucuses, 12 on the Republican side and 11 on the Democratic side.
Question: In the 23 caucus state results so far, how many of these states would you guess have given the majority of their delegates to either Clinton or McCain? Clinton the presumptive democratic nominee at one time and winner of the California, New York, New Jersey, and Florida regular primary voting by wide margins, and McCain who is way ahead in the overall republican delegate count.
Answer: Zero.
(Hillary won Nevada but not a majority of the delegates and McCain barely won Washington but the delegates have yet to be awarded.)
Statistically this is mind boggling and someone needs to look into how these damn things are run.
For his victories.........But I haven't turned on the tube this morning. Is his speech over yet?
To Obama after last night is to limit the hope speeches to less than a half hour. Even that arena full of his supporters was getting antsy.
But the people in the arena started looking bored about midway through. They're his people. He better take a lesson from that.
