Durbin and also the junior Senator from Illinois both live in another dimension - the bizzaro zone.

Absolutely, just another smear by Obama on his political opponents by the supposed “nice” candidate.
What a fake.

"Durbin says Obama needs Secret Service in part because he's black." River Rat say Durbin needs his ass kicked severely in part because he's an ignorant, traitorous, thumb sucking feckless imbecile...

“if fred thompson gets in (he will)”
hope you’re right, but i get the sneaky suspicion that the fix is in and hillary!’s going to be the shoe-in. (democrats are not only brilliant socialists, they are brilliant mechanical engineers who are completely familiar with the designs of voting machines.)

Vote fraud happens every election and is factored in.
Crossover votes in the primaries will likely be a larger factor.
Look at Ron Paul winning the MSNBC poll for proof of that.
Even the current FR poll is being Freeped by non members.
Fred Thompson, Hunter, or Romney would likely beat any of the top rats.
Only Rooty would be a sure loser.

sincerely hope you’re right. but, i still get the feeling (deeply visceral) that hillary! is going to win the whole ball of wax along with both houses of congress to the rats. (i think that democrat indoctrination has been successful and the number of rat voters is nudging past fifty percent....sorry to be a naysayer)

And she needs her own spokeswoman?
Good grief. It’s going to be a long 1 1/2 years.

Prince Harry’s ears are more valued than O-bammo’s - we should offer up the SS to protect him, too, what with The Queen being here in the colonies, especially.

BY THE SAME logic, Hillary needs SS protection because the black panthers might take out Obama Hussein’s only serious rival.

“The fact that Barack Obama is such a highly visible African-American candidate, I think increases his vulnerability.”
Really? And here I thought that people were all equal. Nice to see Durbin is now a proven racist, just as we all assumed.

I know lots of people worry about a Hillary win but I see her as the least electable of the RAT top tier.
She wouldn’t have ever been elected to anything if she had ran against anyone but stupidity in a glass, Rooty.

He's a candidate for President of the United States. Apparently a serious one. I was under the impression that all such candidates get SS protection.
I know for a fact that a Senator who was running against Billy Jeff in the 1992 primary had such protection, for himself and his family... Maybe primary opponents only get such protection when they are running against a Clinton. The facts are not inconsistent with that conclusion.
But I still think all primary candidates get the protection.

So just becuase a half black man is injected into front runnership it is suddenly a dangerous 3rd world country, thanks Dhims. An Irish American Senator, who is a former Navy Seal, got the same protection in '92 when running against Billy Jeff. Didn't need it, SEALS take care of their own, but he got it.

If Fred Thompson gets in ( he will ) will they be giving USSS protection to J. C. Watts ? It has been rumored that he would be a likely pick for Thompsons VP. Rumors don't count. Thompson has no protection now, but if he declares, then he will. If J.C. Watts were to declare, he too would get protection.
Even though the 'Rats would like to make it about race, the SS does not.

In 1996 and 2000, Alan Keyes never received SS protection.
In fact, his 3rd place finish in Iowa in 2000 made him one of the “frontrunners.”
This is a bunch of hogwash.

Thompson has no protection now, but if he declares, then he will. Since when? I've never known candidates to receive SS protection until they were the nominee.

“Rumors don’t count. Thompson has no protection now, but if he declares, then he will. If J.C. Watts were to declare, he too would get protection.”
Osamma Obamma Yomamma has SS protection far earlier than anyone who has ever ran for POTUS. They normally don’t get it until they get the nomination.

But he’s only half black. So he only needs half an SS agent.

... using race and class and wealth arguments, pitting one group against another ...
Pretty good definition of Marxism.
