Don't blame San Francisco for Obama's "Bittergate"

Candidates pander to wealthy donors in every city, not just mine!

To rufus11

I am right here and I want you to answer one particular question as you said you would. What did you mean when you said: Repent and you will be forgiven

Now don't try to weasel out of that statement. You were referring to Clinton supporters. Why do Clinton supporters specifically have to repent? What does repentance consist of and who is going to do the forgiving?

You are as condescending and addled in your double standards. Your ignore list must be several miles long as you take an attitude to turn a deaf ear to all that does not conform to the choices you make. Have at it. The more people you ignore the more isolated you have become. It is called the pathology of denial.

If you consider yourself so self righteous and igore those who call your bluff ALL the time, I am wondering why you keep putting yourself in situations where you get nothing but disrespect. Tom Payne, David Sugarman, Uncle Fester and Manos may send out some great zingers from time to time. But they all, bar none, have hearts of gold and trust me, with all your pontificating and angelic "honesty" you don't come close to their commitment for equal justice for all, and yes, they mean even for white women such as you. You are not even in their league.

Oh! Just to knock down your ever alert and discerning take on everything, I am not little lord baltimore as you so vainly assert. You insult her and you owe LLB an apology for consistently jumping to crazy conclusions.

Put me on your ignore list and let me wear that as a badge of honor.

Screw the coward propogandists. I'll do it for everyone else. First things first

Repentance:

"Repentance is a change of thought and action to correct a wrong and gain forgiveness from the one wronged. It always includes an admission of guilt, and also includes at least one of: a solemn promise or resolve not to repeat the offense; an attempt to make restitution for the wrong, or in some way to reverse the harmful effects of the wrong where possible."

to say sorry is not enough. You must BE sorry if you claim sorrow. another way of expressing that is a word called reprentance. Not only used in religous context. Your a college tutor, I would have thought you know yoru vocabulary. I fell sorry for those you tutor.

It's not enough for you republcains, I mean clinton supportrs, to say sorry, then do the same thing over and over and over and over. To repent is to actually be sorry for actions or words and change. STOP DOING WHAT YOUR DOING. Recognize it is wrong and change. Stop dividng your coutnry with the gop for profit and power. Or be chacterized with them, using their tactics and argueemnts because your to weak to fight your own battles on your own. you need help. The only help clinton/leiberman/di fi has is the gop. So you sell-out your party and country for your own ambition,

"Do you think Obama can heal that wound?"

It's not about me. I know you me me me, clinton propogandist/republcains can only think abou tyoru selves and what your go to get. It's not about me. It's about my children. It's about poor children with no one to look up to but sports figures. I have no "wound" as you say. Unlike you clinton supporters (with your sexist garbage because "you've seen sexism) I don't have an axe to grind. If I did I wouldn't blame it on clinton as she has nothing to do with my past. I wish you would understand that with your "sexist" arguements. All the ills in your life are not my fault, or obama's. I don't blame clinton for my past. Why do you blame obama for yours? Take responsibility for your own words and actions/past and do something to improve the future. MAybe you think clinton will. i disagree.

"But what about those people who try to label Clinton supporters as racists? Are they not trying to divide people?"

they used racist statments. Not once. not twice. But over and over. Maybe of their people. And they did it for politics and to divde rather than unite. To not call a pig a pig, cause it offends the pig, accomlishes nothing. I don't think the clintons are racist, based on their histroy. But they did use, and continue to, use racist statements and race biting to divide. We can argue if that is racist or not. i think it is. Obviously you don't. But race and gender had no place in this election. clinton brought both in, along with her republican propoganda freinds.

Your sad and pathetic aka. you are eqivant to rush limbaugh's dittoheads. I call you bobble heads. :) You are no differant. Propgoate to get what you want. Lie spin and discredit. Whine cry and complain. Attack attack attack. then whine and cry when you are called on it, or if people recipracate.

Won;t work on me or my movement. We have been fighting the gop for years now, while you "moderates" did nothing. I know the gop and their argeuemnts. I've been ripping them to shreds for years now. you think you can use them successfully? Just because clinton is a woman? tsst tsst tsst.

you cannot have your cake and eat it to. Clinton is done. After pa i hope you realize the error of yoru ways.

@ Uncle Fester

When I hear her debate Obama on foreign policy, she is obviously his superior

We (urr, I mean we, the royal Fester) really disagree about that one!

Interesting. Not that this matters to anyone else, but if I did an AKA percentage breakdown (which I won't) I would assign about 70% of the reason I will not vote for Obama to foreign policy. It could be a very long discussion which I don't think I'm in the mood for, but his lack of experience, his past statements, and his foreign policy advisors make me very nervous. I think surveys have been done about issues that have the most impact on elections and foreign policy is usually way down on the list and I don't think that this year (other than Iraq) is very different. So I guess I am unusual, but foreign policy is actually the deal breaker for me.
