“The Next McGovern?”

The racist Obama may be even left of McGovern, but the country is considerably less sane (ie more Leftist) than it was in 1972.

After all, a supremely arrogant, openly traitorous,incredibly condescending candidate like Kerry came relatively close to being elected Commander in Chief.

There is definite danger out there. Unrelated Observation:

Just bought my first tank of gas for 4.01 $/gallon (San Jose) CA.

It doesn’t bother my wallet as much as it bothered my psyche.

Some people would be more pissed. You are right that today an Ultra Leftist has much better shot - especially since Republican party has lost all its credibility lately.

November is looking brighter for McCain with each passing day. All he has to do is avoid a major gaffe while the ‘Rats keep bashing each other around and expose how radically left they are for all to see.

Could it be that HRC is staying in the race merely to cripple Obama so that he can’t win the presidency, thus opening up things for a repaeat run for her in 2012?

"Just bought my first tank of gas for 4.01 $/gallon (San Jose) CA."

What I don't understand is why the GOP isn't hammering the dhimmis on energy prices. If we had enacted W's energy plan in 2001 we wouldn't be in this problewm today.

I think I have heard OBAMA supporters on CNN make that argument - she maybe thinking as far ahead as 2012.

I’m in San Jose also. What part of SJ did you pay that and what brand? Was it for supreme? I was hoping 4 bucks could hold off until the summer months.Oh well 5 bucks by next summer I’ll guess.

If Obama is the candidate we want to run against, Operation Chaos is not a good strategy. It seems to have the negative side effect of driving up Democratic registrations.

Its too late now I guess. Dhimmis OWN the GAS ISSUE. They have been hammerring W on GAS, EVEN BEFORE HE GOT ELECTED the first time.

If you want to convince people of a lie - you have to follow the Klintonian rule - Believe it yourself, and repeat it with confidence, over and over.

Dems have and now the truth as they see it is the accepted truth.

Its ideology is very liberal. Whereas in the first primaries and caucuses, Obama benefited from being seen as middle-of-the-road or even conservative, he is now receiving his strongest support from voters who see themselves as "very liberal." In Pennsylvania, he defeated Clinton among "very liberal" voters by 55 to 45 percent, but lost "somewhat conservative" voters by 53 to 47 percent and moderates by 60 to 40 percent. In Wisconsin and Virginia, by contrast, he had done best against Clinton among voters who saw themselves as moderate or somewhat conservative.

Osbama is so wackjob liberal that he actually makes Hillary seem thoughful and responisible (at times).

“Some people would be more pissed.”

As if a big-government radical is going to rescue their self-absorbed asses from high gasoline prices.

The economically ignorant electorate is in for a major fiscal education and nightmare if they put either Democrat candidate in the White House.

$4.00/gallon gas will seem like the good old days....

Fact is Obama's a weak, vulnerable, inexperienced candidate.

But if the Dims don't nominate him now, they can kiss the black vote goodbye this election. It won't go to McCain, but it won't go to Obama either. As bad as the Republican numbers look right now, the Dims can't win without a big black turnout.

The Superdelegates know all this. It sucks to be them. :-))

I wish so bad that that was true - the Black Vote staying home and Dems falling apart.

I think just as Hildabeast showed yesterday - Klintons view them as whores and would thrown around Chinese Dish Washer Fund in Ghettos to pay for all the votes they need. Even MSM picked up on the “street money” but not to an extent they should.

Second, the power of fearmongerig can not be estimated.

If Klintons are the nominee, they would demonize conservatives anyway as they always have, but they know exactly what buttons to push to make Blacks feel scared and convince them that slavery would be brought back if John McCain wins.

In my view, Black anger against Hildabeast stealing the nomination will NEVER EVER even come close to their fear and anger against GOP who they are told every 4 years are racists.

SO ALL CONSERVATIVES or EIB MICRO-PHONIES who are counting on Black Votes to stay home with Hildabeast nomination, please pay attention to the pattern, the events and rhetoric and get a CLUE first.

When was the last time Black Community voted for their own interest? They only vote EMOTION. Dems know how to control it.

Bottome Line: If Hildabeast is Nominee, 60 Senators or so, GIANT majority in Congress and Presidency for Liberals.

Exactly! I see Jimmy Carter 2.0 coming if either dem is elected. Price controls etc. only cause shortages not solutions. If we leave Iraq ASAP then the Iranian’s will close the Strait of Hormuz to any oil traffic and that would stop approximately 80% of the world oil supply flowing. If that happens finding it will be a miricle let alone what it would cost in those circumstances. We have the bio diesel recipe ready just incase!

Whoever wins the Democrat nomination will have the whole democrat machine and the leftist media on his side. And if hillary wins, she still knows how to get out the black vote.

McCain, meanwhile, is a positively lousy candidate. He turns off the base, and when push comes to shove the MSM will demonize him as a warmongering conservative racist and he won’t get any Democrat votes either, as he is stupidly hoping.

Nor will he get any money or people to turn out the vote, other than the paid professionals.

As one poster said somewhere today: Only Obama can defeat the Democrats.
