“UHOH now it’s in the Times!”

And, most importantly, they give the actual quote for readers to decide themselves.

That’s not very much like the Times..

Obama has shown that people put far too much stock in Hillary’s ability to win. Think about it. A clueless hack with nearly two years of Senate “work” under his belt put her thighness on the ropes for quite a while. She is beatable. Hell, both of these clowns are beatable.

"You should have heard his speech in Indiana today where he said that these “bitter” people need to turn to Washington instead of religion.";

Well you have to keep his people down on the plantation you know. How else can you insure constant growth of government unless you keep people down and play to their victim mentality? In this case the plantation is Washington DC.

I hope he still gets the nomination because this has the potential to bury him in the general election.

As everyone on FR knows, McCain doesn't have the killer instinct to bury him with this. All the work will have to be done by others.

he will change it so that they can turn to Washington to solve their problems. He IS a Commie, folks. A bigoted, anti-semitic commie.

That all may be true, but he is also first rate con artist (ie. "I was brought to Christ by Louis Farrakhan's pal.")

Operation Chaos is going to put Hillary in the White House. Thanks O.C.

If Hillary should wrest the nomination from BO, there would be a rift in the Democrats as wide as imaginable.

As wide as the RINO/conservative rift? McCain's got his own problems...unless you think conservatives are irrelevent as a percentage...or have the same plantation mentality that some special interest groups have in voting Dem.
