"Free advice --- seriously, dataguyx, get some help. Not an opinion, just fact. I'm a middle-aged Black woman and a physician -- from Chicago. And you’re an asshole. And verbally abusive. And humorless."

Look, don't patronize me. I'm sitting here, watching Obama get slimed all the time. I have NEVER heard in my entire life (I am 56) a politician of Party X praise a politician of Party Y and blame a politician of his/her own Party.

Have you? If you have another example like that, I invite you to submit it.

Until you do, take your "worship Obama" bullshit and place it somewhere else. I worship no-one, but I dislike traitors and those who help our opponents.

I too am an IL resident, but live in the nether portions of the state.

If someone got injured when you were not there

you would be liable. You could be sued and lose your home. Call your insurance agent and inquire as to what is covered and what is not. If you got sued, that would not be good.

Merely state that there is no swimming unless you are notified, due to the insurance risk. Make the open time regular - every Sat and Sun from 1-6, and Wed from 5-8. Other than that, no swimming.

Obama will win the election unless

the Clinton-aholics all vote McCain.

They might, because many are completely bamboozled by Hillary.

"the party knows that at the end only Hillary can win the GE and will act upon that knowledge"

They say stuff like this in and don't even laugh.

Let's be clear - Democrats vote for the Democrat. If you vote McCain, you vote against unions, you vote against choice, you vote for corporations, you vote for 100 years in Iraq, you vote for war with Iran.

If you will say "I dislike Obama enough to vote against choice, to vote for 100 years in Iraq, to vote in favor of war with Iran, to vote against unions, to vote against public schools, and to vote enthusiastically for 4 more years of Bush."

If you can say that, vote McCain and be my guest.

@ red_gti2000

So, you are a McCain democrat.

Will you say, as your oath of McCain Democrat status, that you want to end choice and are pro-life? If so, say that. John McCain is pro-life and will end choice.

Are you pro-corporation and anti-worker? If so, say that.

Are you opposed to public schools?

Are you in favor of tax cuts for the rich?

Have you been happy with Bush? McCain is 4 more years. Remember that when McCain is elected, ALL the Bush policies are vindicated.

Every single Bush policy will be set in stone at that point.

Any one stupid enough to vote for McCain is not a Democrat.

Original article: The return of Joementum

I hope that the Senate projections are correct

If we can get 4-5 Senate seats, then I would hope that Reid would sit Joe down and explain that you are on the bus or you are off the bus.

"The Democratic bus no longer needs you, Joe, so you need to decide if you are a real Democrat or an asshole. If you're an asshole, you can leave now, and we re-assign your committee chairmanships immediately to actual Democrats. If you remain a Democrat, I will then be in charge of your calendar."

The Wright bullshit

Idiots care about Wright. Wright is not Obama. Obama is not Wright.

What is REALLY concerning is how enthusiastically Clinton and her brain-dead syncophantic cult-of-personality followers have adopted Republican talking points to attack Obama. This is Rovian attack crap at its worst.

@Mickey Kovars

You seem very concerned with Wright's philosophy. Exactly what is Wright's philosophy? I am certain that you have NO idea, since the rest of your little missive indicates that you are simply reacting ignorantly to the media coverage.

Clinton tried the Rove method

but it has not worked.

That's because, in their heart of hearts, people realize how unfair and totally wrong this charge is. The FACT is that Wright is not Obama. He might make sermons that Obama listens too, but that does not mean that Obama agrees with them.

What was wrong and evil was Hillary's glee at damaging Barack. In fact, she appears to have higher negatives today, which she should. Her campaign of "kitchen sink warfare" is not appropriate for a primary opponent.

Dumb fucking bunnies ask dumb fucking questions

"Why couldn't Obama, on two campaign events, not bother to have his hand over his heart during the National Anthem?

It’s handing a pre-made issue to the Republicans and it’s an issue that will resonant in the general election."

What a DUMB FUCKING QUESTION!! WHat a moronic charge!! What a stupid moron you are, jack.

The fact is that Obama is out there, day after day, hour after hour, running for office. People are taking pictures ALL THE TIME. And some of those questions will titillate weak-minded morons like you, ashhole. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BE PERFECT, YOU BLITHERING MORON!

Why are you clinton morons doing Republican work, asshole?

Thursday, March 27, 2008 04:08 PM

The full monte

Yep, you're a full Clinton troll.

"Conservative 527 groups will go after Obama on patriotism and for having the most liberal voting record of any Senator."

More liberal than Russ Feingold? More liberal than Bernie Sanders? More liberal than Ted Kennedy?

How about a huge lie made up to attract weak-minded morons?

@KateTex

I agree that some Clinton supporters will vote for McCain. I put it at between 2-3 %.

Clinton supporters are pro-choice. McCain is pro-life. His election will end legal abortion with the next SC seat.

Clinton supporters are anti-war. McCain is pro-war. His election will keep us in Iraq for 100 years, and we will be in Tehran by 2010.

Clinton supporters are not supporters of Bush's tax cuts. McCain is pro-Bush tax cuts. His election will keep the tax cuts.

The Clinton supporters are mad. They will sober up and vote Democratic. They will come home, for choice, Iraq and tax issues.

The commendably missing element from Obama's speech

There was no pretense that human rights is our goal, or the likely outcome, in escalating the war
