Riots and violence is not the way to win elections. They are stuck between a rock and a hard place.

[D-fendr]

Clintonites control the credentials committee

Not true - and the seated delegates, likely Obama-majority - still have to approve anything from the credentials

[Hildy]

What an idiot, could you be any dumber?

The only thing that could be considered dumb is to respond to your idiotic non-reply to what I said...your tirade had nothing to do with what my point was.

[Hildy]

I know you weren’t addressing me, but I’ll tell you how I think she can win...Obama becomes so bloodied that internal Dem polls show he has become unelectable. They call him in...they make him an offer he can’t refuse...become the VP..the Cheney kind of VP...promise him a hands on position. Tell him that way white america will get used to seeing a black man in the White House. Hell, tell him he won’t even have to be in the same room as Hillary if he doesn’t want to. He’s a young man...in 8 years he’ll be more experienced and he’ll be a shoo-in. If that happened, combined with leaders jumping his ship onto the SS Hillary, he might have no choice. Remember, we’re talking about the CLINTONS.

All of this would be a non-issue if he were already the candidate. If Republicans had not given her those few extra percentage points in PA and helped her in the previous primaries, we wouldn’t be talking about this right now.

The terrorism quote is in chapter 17 of Mark.

[Pilsner]

If Rush hadn’t “butted in,” the media would have tried to bury all of this stuff and we wouldn’t have found out about it until Wright was spewing his anti-American racist hatred during Obama’s inaugeration.

I agree. I remember late 92/early 93, between Slick's election and his inauguration, Rush talking about how some members of the media were anticipating with glee all of the bad stories that they could run on Clinton, now that he had won the election, and they could do so without helping George Bush. Frankly, at the time I was skeptical that there was a whole lot more out there (hey, it was before I was on the Internet), and thought Rush was whistling past the graveyard.

Wright is far too good a story to bury forever, and the media would have brought him out, but not until after McCain's concession speech.

"Jesus said, You cannot do terrorism on other people and not expect it to come back on you," Wright said,

I beg the good revrund to show me the Bokk, Chapter, and verse.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Sometimes comedians can hit on truths better than political commentators. Dave Chappelle hit upon this truth a few years ago:

There will never be a black Vice-President before there is a black President. You know within a few hours of being Vice-President he will be taking the oath of office for President. Any brother who single-handedly puts a black guy into the Oval Office will be a hero in whatever prison he ends up.

[MEGoody]

Riots and violence is not the way to win elections.

I doubt the Democrat party thinks there will be riots and violence.

[Hildy]

LOL! Well then, there’s the silver lining!

[Emperor Palpatine]

"The only way she can be the nominee is if she “steals” the nomination. And stealing the nomination from the first serious black candidate for President is, again, a recipe to destroy the entire party."


Do you really think the Clintons care about the Democrat Party? This has ALWAYS been about her. She will not be denied.

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

But she can’t steal it on her own, and I don’t think there are enough Clinton devotees who care more about her than the party.
