Sen. Obama is a socialist, and I'd vote for a can of herring before I'd give him my vote. Nevertheless, I pray for his safety and well-being, for reasons which I'm sure you all are smart enough to figure out. The last thing this country needs now is a rebirth of the Spirit of '92...
Agreed. You'll get no argument from me on that. Just pointing out that Obama is just as dangerous as Hillary if not more so. The Clintons were "timid" Socialists, willing to advance their cause in baby steps. Obama may think he can take one huge giant step if elected in a landslide with a Democrat congress which appears to be what will occur in Nov. barring some unforeseen incident that might sidetrack him.
Don’t say things like that. She’s not my favorite politician, but she’s a human being.
There will be blood in the streets.
It’s likely that Hillary will divide the Democrti party and attempt to use the advantage of super delegates to insure the outcome is that she will be the nominee if the delegate count is close going into the convention.
It’s also likely that Mclame, with all his warts, will crush Hillary or Obama.
No one on here is rooting for a race war. So chill out mmmkay?
Eggs Ackley my point! Than you for making it clearer than I did in my post.
Then he will raise taxes on profitable small business owners by up to a third, and the same for corporate dividends for the investor set. He is an out and out class warrior, he just doesn't talk about it too loudly. He will spend the loot on third world appeasement transfers in lieu of having a foreign policy, and on green and make-work projects at home.
Obviously you haven’t read the thread.
You're probably right. The Clintons crave power like vampire bats crave blood. What's a little bloodshed to them as long as Hillary fulfills her self-appointed destiny?
Good Point. I still am doubltful that they CAN pull this off, but I'm sure they'll try. Man, there's going to be a BIG outcry if she succeeds, from ALL parties.
Would be nice, wouldn't it?
Obama would probably be convinced to go 3rd party, thereby splitting the Demmie vote enough so that McCain would win. I personally don't want McCain but it is still better than hillary or obama.
All the progressive demonstrators that have their reservations set for the Republican convention may want to change them now. The pubbie party convention is going to be pretty lame compared to the dem's.
I was thinking of some as yet unknown scandal, not the sex and drugs thing. Of course *that* one won't damage him; those charges are almost prerequisites for party membership. ;-)
Now, if Hillary has pix of Obama hanging around with Dick Cheney, *that* might burn through the teflon and put the hurt on Barack's popularity.
That'll only happen when they lose the 'group-think', victim mentality, and embrace idividual freedom and liberty (that are in decline). Massive evacuation of the Dem plantation should have happened years ago. Not many willing to purchase a ride on the Freedom Train.
Good post. I hope you are right.
GO, HILLARY! Steal that nomination!
For the record, my hope is that calmer heads prevail and such an event does not occur.
