Schneider: The electability argument falls flat ("Cankles" Clinton is headed o-u-t OUT, baybeeeee!)
CNN Political Ticker ^ | 05/06/2008 | Bill Schneider

(CNN) — The core of Hillary Clinton’s argument to superdelegates has been her electability – that she is the candidate most likely to beat presumptive Republican nominee John McCain in November. But according to exit polls, voters don’t share that view.

In Indiana, Democratic primary voters were equally split over who was most likely to beat McCain, with both drawing 48 percent. And in North Carolina, voters gave the edge to Barack Obama: 54 percent thought he was more likely to win in November, while 40 percent [...]

Permission granted!

But I have to disagree, we are not boned...Yet. The Republicans can always blow the campaign, but I would rather be running against Obambi than HilLIARy.

Just my opinion.

Proud I shall stand then! ;-)

I think you are right. We are all forgetting one of Hillary’s group of supporters, “Hispanics” who can vote. They will never support Obama.

Now that their beloved Clintons seem to be on the way out, the Propaganda Machine (including CNN) has got to find a way to present Barak ("God, damn America!) Hussein Obomb in a favorable light. It won't be easy.

The Democrats are going to nominate a liberal. The Republicans are in such a mess that the Democrat will probably win. Neither of those facts can be changed.

The one thing that can be changed is whether or not the Clintons are finally yanked off the national stage by the big vaudeville stage hook. Seeing the last of those clowns is worthwhile in itself.

I, for one, simply can't keep a wide, Joker-esque leer of purest, unalloyed joy from spreading across my mug, as I think of just how bleakly and unremittingly full of suck Hillary's evening must be, right about now. I hope the staff took the precaution of gluing down all lamps and ashtrays before the results started coming in.

Yes we will. The same riots that people were predicting in Denver will happen across the country if Obama loses to McCain by 5%.

Democrats were ready to riot after the 2000 and 2004 elections.

Yawn. They had best come fully loaded and prepared to die.

Socialist agitators don’t care if the first line of useful idiots is mowed down in the streets. They seek chaos and unrest.

And the huge numbers of people that will vote for this clown do not have a clue as to why they shouldn’t regardless of perceived social issues. This is where America is today. And the world watches, very carefully.

How else to interpret this than he wants to talk to al-Qaeda?

He sent his Brzezinski to talk to no-Jaw in Damascus. The guy stumped for his Muslim cousin running on a platform of instilling sharia law in Kenya. Obomber is a sleeper, the Twelfth Imam from Chicago.

Headlines on Drudge; “Dems quietly send word to Hillary that it’s over”. And earlier, “Super Delegates refuse to meet with her”.

I don’t think she ever believed how much she is disliked. She was just feared.

I DO believe many Hillary voters will vote for McCain, for various reasons. Especially where I live.

It’s not difficult to imagine they are so blatantly antiAmerican!

See this :

Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left

And a review:

**********************************

By  Kat Bakhu (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Unholy Alliance: Radical Islam and the American Left (Hardcover)
I had long wondered why people on the Left had the propensity to speak more positively about people who would slit their throats than they do about their own country, which affords them more freedom and opportunity than anywhere else. David Horowitz has answered that question thoroughly and convincingly in his Unholy Alliance. Where I felt bewildered and confused, I now feel crystal clear. Unholy Alliance is such a great book.

It begins with the leftist movements at the beginning of the 20th Century, and works its way up to the present day, exploring the anti-American attitude of these movements in detail. Horowitz shows that the enemies of the US back then are largely the same group today, operating under the same misperceptions, making the same mistakes, and pursuing the same impossible utopia.

Individual chapters are included on the Patriot Act (I was persuaded that it is a GOOD thing); the democratic flip-flop on Iraq once G.W. Bush implemented what they agreed with Clinton needed to be done; the driving components of the current anti-war movement; as well as chapters on individual personalities who are major spokespeople of the Left. Horowitz covers a lot of ground, and he covers it concisely and clearly. Unholy Alliance is richly informative without ever being boring or plodding.

This book is so illuminating that I simply cannot do justice to it here. I love people who reason so clearly that they help me get my own reasoning clear. Horowitz is just that type of person! In the terrain of mindless clichés (no-blood-for-oil, etc.), he is a breath of real fresh air.

Everybody has an opinion, lol I should make that my tagline.

Have 10 groups do a study on something and you'll get 10 varying reports.

Barrack Hussein Obama can't garner enough delegates to win the nomination, and no one is talking about that side of the equation. Until one of the two gets enough delegates, they should both stay in the race and let Operation Chaos continue!!!! Denver is going to be fun to watch. Folks in Colorado should get ready for a redux of '68.

Hussein Obama can't close the deal even with most of the left wing mediots happily in bed with him.

$inator $hrill is like the Ever Ready Pit Bull with lipstick and dyed blonde hair crossed with the old Timex watch. She just keep on snarling, growling, biting and ticking along the campaign trail.
