As usual, pot calls kettle

"And all his hoopla with Jeremiah Wright and association to Farrakhan, Rezko, et al...this will be played over and over come November. It won't matter to more liberal people like me, but centrist white Americans won't find this very appealing at all. He's got more baggage than Hillary. I hope people will just stop for a minute and think."

For every one of these problems, Hillary has it 10 times worse. She has the baggage, and is unelectable.

@dumbtexasslut

"I'm sorry, but I will need a tad bit more than protecting men's right to enter my vagina with no repurcusions as reason alone to vote for a sworn enemy to America and a BIG OLE ASSHOLE."

Honey, you are in no danger. After reading your bilious hysterical screeds, I cannot imagine anyone interested in entering your floppy ol' vagina. Ewwwww....

Original article: Quote of the day

Yeah, YOU GO GIRL

GO BACK TO NY, you disgraceful person, and stop bothering the voters. Barack won, by being more clever, and hiring more clever people.

You lost, Hillary. Stop running.

I support Obama BECAUSE he is non-racial

I am not interested in voting for some black guy for president. I didn't support Jesse, Al, or any of those race-baiters.

I am interested in Obama because he is not black. he is post-racial. His candidacy is not based on his color. It's based on his ideas.

So, we do NOT need to talk about race. Nope, we need to talk about health care, the war, and jobs.

No race discussions - we're Democrats

We DO NOT want a discussion about race. NO NO NO. No discussion about race.

Discussion about the war - yes.

Discussions about health care - yes.

Discussions about the hedge funds and Repukeliscum mismanagement - yes.

NOT RACE.

Mr. Obama is not about race. He is not a black guy, or a white guy or an asian guy or a hispanic guy. He's just a guy. That's what we need - a guy who talks Democratic issues, in a calm and clear way. That would be barack.

He can talk to the hispanics, the blacks, the whites, the working class (with coaching), the educated class, the single moms, etc. He is post-racial, and that is what I want. I do not want to elect a black guy. I want to elect a leader.

Race - nope, no thanks

"The fact is that we keep talking about having a "conversation on race," but we never really do it, except to offer nice little bromides that don't say much except to express sentiment."

But I, as a loyal democrat, do not WANT a conversation about race. NO NO NO. No race discussions, thanks.

We are all post-racial. The best way to discuss race is to not discuss race. We need to ignore race. Race is not important.

If we get into a race discussion, we lose, bigtime. If we get into a health care discussion, we win. War discussion, Democrats win. Jobs, economy, American perception in the world - all winners for Democrats.

Race is the loser.

Funny things

"This race would be much different if the DNC had rules that were reasonable. Each primary state's votes should have been uniformly done, and get rid of the undemocratic caucus system."

The caucus system is a traditional method. It is as democratic as other methods. It requires different approaches, which appears to have escaped the attention of Hillary and her team, due of course to their great experience and extremely competent management. It's funny how things which DO NOT work for Hillary are unfair, anti-democratic, terrible, horrible and bad, while things that do work for her are not.

If she was so experienced, how come she ran such a crappy primary race? How come she did not plan for the possibility that she might not sweep Feb. 5? I thought that experience led to more careful planning. In Hillary's case, she makes the same mistake over and over, and shows the same short-term, extremely poor judgement throughout.

I am hoping that, if Hillary does foolishly decide to push on, if she will stop pimping John McCain and stop attacking Obama.

Dangerous madness

"Hillary Clinton should continue and Barak Obama should keep his mouth shut about being the nominee on 20 May. Let the people choose and vote.

Hillary has millions of supporters and if she ran as an independent she would win the election."

You are far out on the branch. Your position is very dangerous.

So, what's the answer to the Kommitted Klintoon KultWack Nutcase?

Run as an independent.

What a moronic idea. Hillary is still a democrat, I think, although there are times that this is unclear. She will not do this foolish, stupid thing of running as an independent, because she realizes that this would take her from a possible future chance to the situation where she would be HATED FORCEFULLY by MILLIONS and MILLIONS and MILLIONS, and would NEVER EVER win to POTUS.

Never ever.

Ever never.

Do not think this foolish thought even for a minute.

Moronic Klintoon KultWack trolls

Remember, folks, that the trolls here are only encouraged if you reply to them directly. Trolls often say provacative, outrageous lies, but that is a trollish thing, not a normal thing.

Do not feed the trolls. Do not reply to them. Even if they get your goat.
