Race and gender.

That’s what the Democratic Party is now all about.

Oops, my apologies. I left out homosexuality.

If McCain picks Gov. Palin ... good possibility all those disgruntled Hillary supporters will find a new cause. That cause ... defeat Obama!

Obamamesiah would never pick that shrew, would he?..At the end of the day, the feminists will vote for the empty suit regardless, I’m pretty confident of that.

Hussein would have to a complete megalomaniac arrogant SOB to not offer the position to the Beast.

I'd say its 50-50 he still does.

He has no shot of winning without her.

Hussein does not have a deathwish, I think. He will not put the Clintons on the ticket as VP.

Chafe and Hillary should never be combined in a sentence, let alone a headline. The visuals are just too awful........

“There are a lot of women apoplectic at the discussion of Bob Barr and Chuck Hagel,” said Kim Gandy, president of the National Organization for Women.


Does Kim Gandy know that Bob Barr is the Libertarian candidate for pres, and will not be Obama’s running mate? What the heck is she talking about?????

I read all of that bluster and huffing and puffing and think “well, maybe”.

Then laughter replaces that thought, who do the NAGS think they are fooling? Obama is not considering a woman and could care less what they think.

That is the downside to bloc voting, you are taken for granted ..

Obama has a woman problem. He doesn’t want a woman on his ticket. He can’t handle them.

Look what happened to Tim Russert.

Obama wants to stay alive.

Not "race and gender."

Race and sex. That includes homosexuality.

Gender is masculine and feminine.

Sex is male and female. If we cede the language to the left and MSM to warp and redefine to suit their own prejudices then we come to a point when we cannot say what we mean because the left changes the meanings and we have granted them that authority.

The split isn’t limited to women. “No matter who he picks,” said former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo, “the question is going to be raised: Are you telling me that this person would be a better qualified vice president than Hillary Clinton?”


One of the big lies in this campaign has been how well qualified that Hillary Clinton allegedly is to be president. Repeat a big lie enough, and people start to believe it. There are a dozen other Democrat governors or senators, or former office holders, who are better qualified than Hillary. Sheesh.

First, Hillary was entitled to the pres. nomination because she is Bill’s wife, and she put up with lotsa crap from Bill. Now, apparently, she’s somehow owed the VP nomination because she is Bill’s wife and put up with lotsa crap from Bill. And she ran a lousy campaign for the nomination. So as a reward for all of that, she is owed the VP slot????????

I have some anecdotal evidence, from talking to Democrat people, and some people will not vote for Obama if he picks Hillary. So while he will gain some support if he picked her for veep, he will also lose some. Hillary, while allegedly “qualified”, is still a very polarizing force, and will bring that to the ticket if nominated.

I hate it when I’m right. We had no need for Rush Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos”. The ‘Rats are generating their own - and I called this over a year ago. He should have stayed out of the politics of “The Dark Side” and just let it happen. As it stands now no matter what happens all of those who partook in Rush’s stunt will be looked upon with suspicion - at least to me.

Not only that ... he has no use for Hillary or Bill unless they're stepping stones for him. Then discardable.

I'm still scratching my head as to what Billeray will do next. I never guessed them to give up so easily.

We have ceded the language to the left in some cases. The word “sex” has been replaced by “gender” when it comes to discussions of men and women. “Sex” now almost exclusively means intercourse.
