I don't really agree with you that the centrist portion of the democratic party will be obliterated by an Obama presidency. As far as transparency goes, It was Obama that co-sponsored the earmark database legislation, not Hillary. In fact some have reported that Hillary is the biggest user of earmarks.
Yes I agree that the tax code is bloated and out of control. You don't have to be rich to have the privilege of paying for an accountant. But the only candidate promising reform in that area was Ron Paul, who was doomed from the start.
Yep anyone who doesn't look at Obama with glazy eyes are RACIST!!
No matter that many die-hard HRC's supporters are black.
No matter if I am Asian with black friends.
Truth is O is inadequate, and had he been white he wouldn't have been where he is now. 90% of AA choose him because of his skin color and his skin color alone even when HRC has a solid track record working so hard for AA community!! She can't compete with him because of the color of her skin, so freaking tell me who's the racist here??
He has no business running for president with the qualifications he has. None whatsoever, but MSM is in love with the idea of being so liberal and open minded as to electing a black president despite his lack of quality. It is in their narcissism to feel so good about themselves for doing this. Who's the racist here??
ya know, as soon as you write "affirmative action candidate" you let everybody know you're a Republican Troll.
well either that or a flaming asshole...whichever.
Tell me ONE SINGLE accomplishment he has done as a public servant.
Go ahead...show us with your arguments that he is no an affirmative-action candidate.
Show us you are not drinking your kool-aid.
Show. Us.
That's not the Democratic Party I know, but there are bad apples in every bunch, you know? You might even concede that some Hillary supporters have crossed the line from time to time.
I, for one, hope you remain Democratic. I, for one, hope you take a close look at the policies of both remaining candidates and then make your decision as to which of the two would better represent Senator Clinton's legacy and better promote her interests and policies. For myself, there is no question which candidate that would be. In his words:
"We've certainly had our differences over the last sixteen months. But as someone who's shared a stage with her many times, I can tell you that what gets Hillary Clinton up in the morning – even in the face of tough odds – is exactly what sent her and Bill Clinton to sign up for their first campaign in Texas all those years ago; what sent her to work at the Children's Defense Fund and made her fight for health care as First Lady; what led her to the United States Senate and fueled her barrier-breaking campaign for the presidency – an unyielding desire to improve the lives of ordinary Americans, no matter how difficult the fight may be. And you can rest assured that when we finally win the battle for universal health care in this country, she will be central to that victory. When we transform our energy policy and lift our children out of poverty, it will be because she worked to help make it happen. Our party and our country are better off because of her, and I am a better candidate for having had the honor to compete with Hillary Rodham Clinton."
why don't you tell me one thing ANY president has ever done that made him fit for the presidency?
dude, there is NO criteria to meet before one becomes president. You don't know what you got til you get it...or is that too difficult to work through for you?
Tell me, what is it about being the Governor of Arkansas that's better than being in the Illinois Senate, President of the Harvard Law Review, and being a United States Senator?
or is being the wife of a President the only criterion for you?
you really are a flaming asshole ya know that?
debaser....thanks for confirming that O is an affrimative-action candidate. LOLLLLL....
Nuff said, now keep drinking your kool aid.
And you know what it's really easy to find Hillary's accomplishments as first lady or otherwise, but zealots like you will dismiss them anyway, so why even bother?
as soon as you use "affirmative-action" as an epithet you out yourself as a racist asshole.
period.
now continue to flame away you little man...I'll remember the golden rule: don't feed the troll.
that millions of Hillary's supporters of all stripes of colors don't like your candidate and won't vote for him even when Jesus is on the ticket. it's nothing to do with them being republican or racist. They just don't want to risk this country in the hand of incompetent rookie who has zero experience and zero accomplishments other than getting to the top so fast with the help of dirty chicago political machine.
Why do we feel that, out of respect, Clinton should be given a couple of days to make her concession? Her loss has been, for some time now, if not a fait accompli, than a very high probability; so she's had much time to reflect on what that means.
Why de we feel, in Hillary's case, that she needs a couple of days to do what for the rest of us is expected automatically: the decent thing? When the Yankees lost the American League Championship to the Red Sox, Manager Joe Torre didn't ask for a couple of days to absorb that loss and to congratulate his opponents on their win. Can you imagine Maria Sharapova telling reporters at the French Open, "I'm going to continue fighting on" after her humiliating loss Monday to Dina Safina. Why do we need to protect Hillary Clinton's bloated-out-of-any-reasonable-proportion ego at the cost of beginning the much more consequential campaign against McCain?
