That was full of gigglyicious goodness wasn't it?<BR/><BR/>Texas says that Obama is weak and then posts virtually nothing about the candidate himself.<BR/><BR/>His wife is dumb? That's the best you got, Texas? Let's just leave that one alone, shall we? You've got a Pickles and a Cindy McCain in your hand. 'Nuff said.<BR/><BR/>You don't like the statements of his minister? I think that (a) that's been handily rebutted by Obama himself, and (b) McCain's got loads shadier religious zealots surrounding him. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and the polls still show Obama will beat McCain.<BR/><BR/>And my republican relatives and friends are looking forward to casting their vote for Obama. Bushconservatives have to hold their nose to vote McCain.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck with your delusions.Jess Wundrunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07627683239720941969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-30879508358566158302008-04-07T14:45:00.000-05:002008-04-07T14:45:00.000-05:00texas,Thanks for the gigles!

He swears he's not a muslim. He swears he's a Christian. His membership in the Unity Church in Chicago is his proof.<BR/><BR/>One problem. Reverend Wright praised Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan is one black leader who hates the US more than Wright, as if anyone thought such a thing were possible.<BR/><BR/>Obama has a wife who said her husband's candidacy was the first event in her life that gave her pride in her country. Even though her country made it possible for her to attend Princeton and Harvard. <BR/><BR/>This woman was clearly an Affirmative Action student. Her Senior Thesis from Princeton was made avaiable. There was nothing impressive about it. Nothing. She may be reasonably intelligent, but I'll bet her SAT schools were low. Too low for a white student hoping to attend Princeton.<BR/><BR/>Then there's the next issue he will face. Reparations. Obama already stated he wants an increase in the Capital Gains Tax Rate.<BR/><BR/>Capital gains are a distinctly white form of income. Hence, a tax on capital gains is a tax on whites.<BR/><BR/>It will take no time at all during the regular campaign before this issue is spun into his stealth attempt to obtain Reparations payments by way of this white tax. He will spend part of every day till November claiming he opposes Reparations, which will put him at odds with black voters who hold out hope for receiving a big check to compensate for slavery.<BR/><BR/>As a result, white voters will see Obama as the candidate who will, if given the chance, impose the biggest tax in history on whites. <BR/><BR/>In response, Obama will lose as though he were running against George Washington himself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-82942281874175068342008-04-06T11:02:00.000-05:002008-04-06T11:02:00.000-05:00Great post.Something that's been bugging me lately...Great post.<BR/><BR/>Something that's been bugging me lately is that there have been real efforts at reconciliation between Clinton and Obama supporters lately at some of the big progressive blogs like Kos and Mydd but that sentiment is quickly pushed aside in favor of the outrageous surrogate statement of the day.<BR/><BR/>It's going to take a little while after this is decided to bring the party together and weed out the bad actors we know are just trying (and succeeding) to stir stuff up among democrats. That's why I get a little anxious about the race continuing which plays into your post.Dean Wormerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06214049238722718299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-58486033799431971952008-04-06T05:56:00.000-05:002008-04-06T05:56:00.000-05:00the media will ensure that this race is close --- ...the media will ensure that this race is close --- they will not want to have NOTHING to talk about for 3 months -- if it means making McCain the Saint of all saints -- they will do it<BR/><BR/>i can see the Scarborough and Hannity scripts already<BR/><BR/>and remember -- polls are meaningless -- it is the electoral voteDistributorcaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149154929149577121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-8747845454521572822008-04-05T18:42:00.000-05:002008-04-05T18:42:00.000-05:00Hello.

Brilliant.<BR/><BR/>I am coming around - veeeerrrrry slowly- to supporing Barack Obama. I am not at all happy with Hillary Clinton. In fact, I am rather distinctly unhappy with her.<BR/><BR/>And while I love Dr. Z's optimism, I agree with Jess' midwestern sensibility and reservation. <BR/><BR/>Things like the Randi Rhodes whore debacle, which was just stupid of her and divisive all the way around, things like Ferraro running of to Fox to blast back - these are like the twin cancers that eat at the organs of our party.<BR/><BR/>That is how elections can be lost. And that is what worries me.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181529277715646835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1196489532814593259.post-69187367091969135472008-04-04T10:51:00.000-05:002008-04-04T10:51:00.000-05:00Dr. Z, you are my favorite optimist.

Hillary could have won hands down from the beginning. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, find it hard to believe that any Democrat could lose right now. I think that despite what the press and the polls say, I think that a lawn chair could beat McCain. Just look at the huge disparity in the fundraising of the Republican vs. the Democratic candidates, as well as the disparity in voter turnout.Dr. Zaiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16153875976834518896noreply@blogger.com
