"Sure the rock bands that open for Obama are bringing out the kids at the moment, and everyone loves to bash the boomers and say how they have ruined everything (I know some pretty dedicated boomers trying to cure cancer), but I think the young people will become disillusioned like any intelligent American when the socks come off the feet of clay. "
What I think is that you are a total moron. And, you know, I'm right about that.
Young people become disillusioned. However, some, like Hillary, just get down in the trenches and work. Obama will do fine, especially if morons stop whining.
She has demonstrated, over and over again, that she cannot win when the chips are down. She lost in Iowa due to her very poor planning. She lost in NC due to her misunderstanding of the electorate. She managed to squeeze out a NH win by whining and crying. She then proceeded to lose 6 or 7 contests in a row. She cannot win west of the Mississippi, except in CA, which the Democrats cannot lose regardless of what they do. She will lose BIG in MT, and Obama can win that (Tester won, Schweitzer won, and Obama will win). She would be trounced in CO, and Obama will win that. Obama will win Hispanics, by telling them his life's story.
You Klintoon Kultwacks are pathetic, and your whining and bitching is getting annoying. I know, I know, you have a dog and you are gonna shoot that dog if we don't vote for Our Girl Billary.
I got news for you: SHE IS LOSING BECAUSE SHE IS A LOSER.
I am not a kid. There are MILLIONS like me, middle-aged +, who regard Hillary as a totally failed candidate, and a disaster in the GE. Lost in all this whining, bitching and moaning about Obama is the HUGE HATRED for Hillary that there is out there. She is the favorite candidate of Limbaugh, Rove and all the right wing BECAUSE she is VERY BEATABLE.
Obama is an excellent candidate, and he has run the better race.
You cannot put a playing card between the difference in Clinton's and Obama's Iraq plan. They have the same plan.
The difference is, of course, that Clinton voted for going to war WITHOUT having read the NIE. SHE DIDN'T READ THE NIE. Amazing.
And then she voted in FAVOR of the AUMF. Amazing again.
She has NO credibility in Iraq matters. NONE.
Obama has been consistent, clear and forthright in his Iraq plans. He has a simple clear plan, and one that will win him the election.
and this will need to start happening next Wed.
If Hillary goes on to continue her failed, hopeless contest, many of us who support Obama will need to clearly state to her that her continued fight will doom her future in politics at any level.
ANY LEVEL WHATSOEVER.
"White female Clinton supporters won't necessarily vote for McCain. They'll just stay home. Even if Hillary herself urges them to vote for Obama when she finally withdraws from the race, the Obama campaign has alienated so many older women that it may cost him the election. Instead of preaching to these women about why they "should" vote for Obama, his campaign needs to directly address these women's concerns about health care, their children's education, job security, etc. Otherwise, it's hello President McCain."
These are wise and sensible points. there is nothing controversial here. We need to consider the things that Obama would need to say to bring Hillary supporters on board.
I will note, however, that they are VERY SIMILAR in their programs. They both propose getting out of Iraq within a short time. They are both pro-choice. So, what do you suggest that he do? He is not going to change policies to attract Hillary supporters, since they have the same policies.
What is your thought about what should be changed?
OK, she is in it to win it until June 3. That is NEXT TUESDAY. What is to be done after that? That is, to you Hillary supporters, what will she do on Tuesday?
As opposed to Hillary who is from the triangulation wing of the Democratic Party, just like Bill.
I'd be happy to see some Democratic programs get enacted. That would be a new kind of politics. Think of it - a Democrat enacting Democratic policies, as opposed to Bill Clinton who was a Democrat who gave the GOP everything they wanted.
Everything about this show is nauseating. It's about consumption, not production. It's about buying stuff. It's death.
This show is about 4 women who buy a lot of shoes, cannot cook and are unable to maintain normal relationships with persons.
Why is this show attractive? I have heard some audio that not only repulses me, but makes me totally convinced that this show is a destructive and horrifying mess. In one show, Carrie convinced another character that she could not make cupcakes. Now, think about that for a minute: UNABLE TO MAKE CUPCAKES.
In America, we do stuff. We make stuff. We fix stuff so that it goes. Not this show. Here they can do nothing. Carrie cannot even cook, the most basic requirement for adulthood.
Disgusting.
"woman who cannot cook!!!!! OH MY GOD! CALL THE PATRIARCHY POLICE!"
I am a man. I am 56. For almost all my married life, I have done 60-70% of the cooking in my house. Cooking is not a mark of femininity, nor anything else. It is the mark of a functional adult. Carrie cannot cook. She is just a primped up 12 year old.
