MI and Fl

"because if MI and FL are not seated, they are not voting in the General, "

This is STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

In point of FACT, most people in FL and MI DON'T GIVE A CRAP ABOUT THIS.

THis is all INSIDE BASEBALL. It's all about the DELEGATES HAVING FUN AT THE CONVENTION.

It has NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTION. In fact, the more the CLINTON MORON CULT WACKS talk about this, the more problems they cause. the problem is that Hillary, the Holy Senator, will not win without FL and MI, so her lying moronic followers pretend that this is a problem.

In point of FACT, most people in FL and MI who are publicly worried about this are Republicans, who are trying to whip up problems in the Democratic camp. That's the FACT.

Get help

"After seeing just a tiny bit of who the real Obama is I am quite sure a majority of people who voted would rather take their support for him back."

A letter as stupid as this reveals a very serious mental problem. Get help now, before the brain worms turn your current incoherent and truly stupid comments into something serious.

This is not a joke. You're a sick cookie.

AKA Smith doesn't run bookclubs

She runs the local Holy Hillary Society. They get together to Adore the Holy Visage, and kiss the Sacred Polaroid. They greet one another with "You go, girl!" to which the response ALWAYS is "She's so brave. She's so good. I love her, and find her so inspiring."

If it weren't so totally nauseating in that just marginally ... odd ... manner, it would be really really yucky.

"My son, specifically. OK, he's still in elementary school, and we've got a tutor to help with reading. He's getting better, slowly, and I'm coming around to understand that he may never read for entertainment, because it's just too damn hard. Reading for me is easy and always has been. For him, it's work. Not fun. Not even when he's interested. It's the equivalent to me of sitting down to digest an actuarial table."

OK, Froggy, got some serious advice. DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOUR KID. FInd what motivates him/her. With my son, who was a very poor reader, it was books about military history. We had a subscription to Military History magazine. It was books about mass killings, books about carnage. Whatever. I kept after that kid. I always had a book in his hand.

Other books that kids like: Captain Underpants, comic books, cheap crappy science fiction. Keep him/her reading. Never give up. Always look for more ideas.

My son is now a senior in HS, and reads for pleasure. He always has a book in his hands. It can work, but takes persistence. This is a 10 year project, but you can succeed.

HA-HA! My THESIS IS PROVEN

AKA Smith READ THE ENTIRE JOHN GAULT RANT.

It certainly explains a HUGE amount about her fanatical and unreasoned kool-aid addiction, and her Clinton Cultist High Priestess standing.

Ayn Rand

Everyone SHOULD read her. KNOW THY ENEMY.

She is a compelling, if trenchantly pedantic, expositor of a particular point of view. I don't agree with that point of view of Ayn Rand, but she certainly has written it with a certain compelling force.

However, if you got through, and read every page, of the John Gault rant at the end of Atlas Shrugged, you really are a hopeless case. 50 pages of deranged, unreconstructed objectism is a mark of the mind over the edge no question.

Does Barack pay his staff health insurance bills?

Because Hillary doesn't pay hers.

That could stand a little discussion. You need to keep the insurance coverage of your staff current.

When will Hillary pay her health insurance bills?

ANY of the "Left Behind" books

You can read porno, you can read SF, you can read mysteries, you can read Stephan King, but in my house you cannot read religiously based snuff novels.

@diderot

John Edwards is the real deal. He is the candidate who should be the Democratic nominee. Why should he endorse Obama - a shallow fraud - or Clinton, who has to measure up to his standards and so far has failed?

OK, why did he fail electorally? He represents the populist wing of the Democratic Party, and did maybe 20 % at the best moment in his campaign.

That closer look

From Gallup's tracking poll:

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama has extended his lead over Hillary Clinton among Democrats nationally to 52% to 42%, the third consecutive Gallup Poll Daily tracking report in which he has held a statistically significant lead, and Obama's largest lead of the year so far.

Yep, they want a closer look. And when they get the closer look, they get repelled by Hill and more and more pleased with Barack.

The public opinion, she a wonder, no?

The campaign to warn the board about Joan

is IDIOTIC. Joan's the editor, I believe. This is an opinion column, not a news column. Objectivity is not required.

It's stupid to try to contact the board. Besides that, she isn't all that biased.

Pathological and sick lust for Hillary

"I've been thinking about her in a fairly pathological way ever since 1992 and dreaming about her as well. She is me, and then again she's not. I used to love her and I no longer do, but unlike what usually happens when love dies, I still think about her far too much. "

I see this over and over. The sickness of love for a politician is ridiculous. No one should love a politician.

I admire a few, not many. I realize that most of them are the kind of jerks who ran for Student Council in High school, and otherwise treated me like shit. The Popular Kids, the Kids who other kids wanted to be seen with. Most of these Popular Kids couldn't do shit about shinola, but that never mattered.

I see this sick madness of the Cult of Personality with Hillary but I do not see it with Barack. I have seen many times people saying that they love Hillary. I have never seen anyone say that they love Barack.

Hillary-love - sickness of political thinking.
