  • Total Crap 3

    Starring Shawn as the Refutin'nator

  • @ShawnWM

    Your spilling whiskey on your Klan robe.

  • @ShawnWM 1:24

    "God, but Obama is a fraud . May he rot in hell."

    And you call Obama supporters "unhinged"?

  • History lesson

    "Yeah, you just ignore history and all the evidence to the contrary."

    Um, you mean the history that the last time New York and Massachussetts went Republican was in 1984, and the last time California did was in 1988?

    Is that the history you're talking about?

    Judging by the quality of your reasoning, ShawnWM, I have to suspect that you've already been hitting tequila.

  • @ShawnWM ... please enlighten me

    "Yeah, you just ignore history and all the evidence to the contrary. Have a good bottle of strong tequilla handy on election night, and stay far away from those of us who told you so for your own saftey."

    Shawn, could you please explain all the history I'm ignoring. Perhaps NY, CA and Mass have been voting for Republican presidential candidates all these past elections, and I've somehow missed that. Also, I'd appreciate you telling me all the evidence you have that points to those states not voting for a democrat this general election.

    Also, if you could tell me the Tequila (btw, that's the correct spelling) you're drinking I'd really appreciate it. Must be some powerful stuff.

    Thanks!

  • Who exactly is registering?

    Dan Balz' analysis in today's Washington Post suggests that the precincts seeing the largest percentage increase in Democratic registration are those in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the surrounding suburbs. This should translate as extremely good news for Senator Obama.

    As she did in Texas, Ohio, and elsewhere, Clinton began the PA contest with 20 point margins over Obama, but the campaigning is steadily bringing him up as the voting draws near. One more "sniper fire" fiasco, and who knows where she might end up on election day. Obama will most certainly not win Pennsylvania, but the interesting question will be how close he can run it.

  • Just because.

    Just because Obama didn't win these states in the primaries doesn't mean he wouldn't win them in the general election

    Yes, surely not. But reasoned people would consider the electoral map and the states won and lost by Gore through Kerry rather than hanging on a wind and a prayer against all science.

  • shawn, wanking monkey

    a proud, lobotomized limbaugh democratic, shawn moves from thread to thread spreads lies as he does std's, and slinging dung despite the fact most of it hits himself. An inveterate wanker, this moron says billary is ahead, billary is the only electable douche bag, and billary is a Bosnian war hero. The rush, pardon the expression, to change registration is transparently a rethug monkey (wanking) wrench operation, working much as it did in Ohio and Texass to skew, and screw, the results for Billary. Shawn's med fluxuate wildly, as does his grade school rhetoric. You needn't piss him off, since he pisses on himself repeatedly. love heywood

  • how stoodpid is shawnie baby?

    "a wind and a prayer". No, numbskull, it's wing and a prayer. In your case, breaking wind instead of a prayer. Moron.

  • Got a few new alias tonight Uncle Fester

    yeah, sure me and the 90% of the rest of the country that won't vote for Obama because he's an inept, self-serving fraud, surely must all be "klansmen".

    Keep telling yourself that dude. Words and rhetoric are unfortuantely all a lot of people are going to have for food a few years into a McCain presidency. Including a LOT of black people.

    Then you sit there and feel good about turning the entire black community on a bogus racist frenzy against the only Administration since Harry Truman that gave a damn about blacks.

    But please don't cry publicly. Most of us have no sympathy for people too stupid to know up from down.

  • vote switching Limbaugh minions

    Switching parties to skew results should be a crime and the person advocating it should be tarred and feathered, or worse. It makes a joke out of the voting process and sounds pretty unconstitutional. And who is Rush telling the brainwashed to vote for...Hillary the divisive...because he knows Obama can't be beat. How do you think she won the Texas primary? If they do switch, they shouldn't be allowed to vote Republican the next time around.

  • Republicans for Hillary

    The evening of the Texas primary I spoke to my sister who had voted in Pasadena (a Republican hotspot / suburb of Houston ) who told me while standing in line waiting to vote she overheard a conversation between a man and his wife who were leaving the location.

    The man became animated and started browbeating the woman because her mother was taking so long to finish (they were finished, the mother was still in the booth). He was ranting about whether or not the mother understood the plan ... "Does she understand that she is supposed to vote for Hillary JUST THIS TIME??? She doesn't have to vote for her in November! WHAT"S going on in there???!!!" and after a long pause "Who did you vote for???!!" His wife replied, "That's none of your business." "Well, she's probably f***ing it up! Ask them if you can go help her!! Make sure she knows what to do!!"

    Neither of us listen to that blowhard Rush so I can't say if he was disseminating the plan, if the Texas Republicans were orchestrating it or if it was something this guy came up with on his own... but the Republicans have been begging to be thrown in the briar patch for years ... I think they believe no one can save them but Hillary .. and I tend to agree.

  • I Registered Voters in Lancaster, PA

    I registered voters in lancater, PA for Obama and it was a brisk business. Very brisk. Of course, these were mostly new voters (1 independent) but I believe many areas around universities and cities have done the same. Obama should do pretty well on April 22. However, the number of Republican conversions is disturbing and will be an interesting vote to sort out on election day. I find it borderline fraudulent to see someone cast their vote in an election where they have no intention of actually supporting the candidate. The Dems need to ensure this scenario does NOT happen again. JMO.
