Since the turn of the 20th century people have migrated from rural areas.

Seriously, national elections need to find a way to represent the majority.

I'm tired of being held hostage to 19th century ideals that were Bullshit to begin with. And I grew up in a very small town in the middle of the country.

Wow, a month long summer job at a Baskin Robbins?

Talk about hard labor when running against a guy who did, what, six years in a concentration camp. Uh, huh.

Silly me, there I was thinking that the closest Obama ever got to getting his hands dirty is when some ink smeared off onto them from yet another entitlement grant.

But Baskin Robbins, who knew? Well there it is -- double-dipped hard times. How can I not stand in wonder at the herculean effort of a whole month of walking down that Rocky Road?

If you weren't so busy shilling for Obama, you' have noticed that I have emade it clear the time not voting for either candidate .

And I don't know why anyone would. But a month of hard labor at Baskin Robbins as the sole Job the Government Didn't Pay For should pretty much prove my point.

And considering what has been said about Sarah Palin and every extraordinary mean and presumptuous inference in every corner of her life, the fact that Michelle Obma lacks any sort of appeal to anyone beyond collecting Barbies is probably one of the more interesting things about her.

Almost as much as is her six figure income from a PUBLIC hospital for some patronage fluff. That would be a six figure income that doubled to a higher six figure income the same day Obama went to Washington where he could vote in their employers' interests. What a Chicago-machine kind of coincidence.

Been there, done that. We can all relate to the travails of Obama the community organizer Man of the People in his hovel of a million-plus Southside mansion. Does Michelle do her own windows?

Admit it. You just don't like the focus being off the spin and onto what very little real is really there.

And so you have to label me a GOP troll.

Nope, I voted unbroken democratic presidential for almost a half century . Not going to do it this time under any circumstances.

I am not a Hillary dead ender. If Biden wasn't on the ticket, I would probably have been just as likely to have written him in.

There is simply no one else qualified. Just because you foisted Obama onto the ticket, doesn't mean we have to vote for him, does it. Why is it exactly that Obamabots feel they have a god-given right to control everyone else's vote besides their own?

And it's not about me, anyway. No equally narcissistic Obamabots ever seem to comprehend that it is all down to demographics. And Obama doesn't have them. So how you think that the same people who rejected Dean and Kerry are going to wake up on election day and suddenly become converted to He Who is Obama-The Godhead Formerly Known as 3 year Junior Senator, is just beyond comprehension. They sure aren't impressed now.

You're supporting a partisan candidate in a general election. tough luck as to the outcome. Just because you know how to clap doesn't make him Tinkerbell and you correct in any plausible way..

Just tell me one thing. it's a majority election. Where do you think a majority that can vote for McCain and Palin instead is going to come from to vote for Obama?

We both know that's just not going to happen. It could have had, had he given them a term to see what he was capable of as Vice President but he is the one who literally has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And your bad judgement is the reason he did.

Unless you are making an argument that Obama is likely to lose because of racists in America, then you are not a person who I am labeling an idiot. There were lots of good reasons that people voted for Obama. Nor does Hillary have anything at all to do with what I am saying.

I am merely saying that it is illogical to believe that racism would keep Obama from winning and then turn around and vote for him. I am not even saying that electability should be the criterion for choosing. But certainly, the absolute inability to be elected should figure into one's choices if one lives in a state where it is possible for the Democrat to carry that state.

Take South Carolina. There were many people who blithely assumed that Obama could win South Carolina in the general election. That's just insane.

If a person recognizes the depth of racism in this nation and if that person is convinced that racism is the reason that Obama is losing crucial voters and if they thought that racism would impact the general election in a serious way, they have no right to now complain that racists won't vote for the guy they voted for.

I guess people just like to whine. However, that is a pretty expensive whine if that sort of thinking means that John McCain wins.

I will tell you frankly that I live in a small town with small town religious values. American is deeply conservative in its social values. Change does not come easily to the voters. They voted for George Bush twice.

Why do the Democrats keep doing the same thing over and over and expect a different result? Did they think that just because people were tired of the war that they would surrender racial and religious prejudices?

I know it sticks in the craw of progressives, but in order to assure victory, we needed a moderate white male with a plan to exit Iraq that he could make sound like honor and victory.

Or maybe we actually need a third party that addresses the middle, because it is undeniable that the Democratic Party has a deep deep fissure between its moderate and progressive wings. When we fight the battle within, we lose the larger battle.
