    Besa me culo, hermano. It's Hill the Shrew that screwed herself, blew her lead, blew her money, but wouldn't blow Bill. Ah, priorities. If the polls said the opposite, you'd all be screaming for the darkie to get out and go back to picking cotton. Que lastima. Puta.

  • @ Ricardo Malocchio: How About One Huge Generalization, Eh?

    KateTex, HRC dead-enders, et al...

    I resent being lumped into a huge category like this. I'm sure there are other HRC supporters who similarly resent it.

    One of the problems I have with many Obama followers is their use of language: "HRC dead-enders" is but one example. Who died and appointed you -- or anybody from the Obama campaign --minister of anointings re: Hillary Clinton's campaign and supporters.

    If you wish to challenge postings made by individuals on this site, then please feel free. But to dump HRC's supporters into a stereotypical category based on a viral tag or moniker is no less demeaning than your post casting lower-class blue-collar Democrats as bigots.

    No doubt you don't consider yourself such, but the sweeping generalizations in your headline and your post imply otherwise.

    I suspect I will get flack for saying this to you, but it is disrespectful to supporters of other candidates and at the very least crosses over the boundary of letters/personal opinions into "shilling" for a specific cause and organization.

    Someone died and made you the class monitor. You found religion. Uhmmmm. Tell you what. You stop "shilling" for Hillary and I will reciprocate.

  • @ KateTex

    If not gunning for the bigot vote is being elitist, then I think I'd rather be elitist. You can have fun pandering to the racists if you like. I'll be thinking about the future I want for my children (who will be biracial).

  • Gracias Tom Payne!

    You prove my point about how totally WITHOUT CLASS ObamaCultists are.

    Reflective of the candidate himself.
