If it's McCain vs Clinton, I'm voting McCain even though I'm a lifelong Democrat. Nothing McCain will do as President can damage this country as much as the rape of the democratic process we're witnessing right now with the Hillary campaign.

damnit, you made me say THIS

Hillary Clinton and her driver were cruising along a country road one evening when an ancient cow loomed in front of the car. The driver tried to avoid it but couldn't. The aged cow was struck and killed. Hillary told her driver to go up to the farmhouse and explain to the owners what had happened. She stayed in the car making phone calls.

About an hour later the driver staggered back to the car with his clothes in disarray. He was holding a half-empty bottle of expensive wine in one hand, a rare huge Cuban cigar in the other and was smiling happily, smeared with lipstick on his face.

'What happened to you?' asked Hillary

'Well,' the driver replied, 'The farmer gave me the cigar, his wife gave me the wine, and their beautiful twin daughters made passionate love to me'.

'Oh NO, what did you tell them?' asked Hillary.

The driver replied, 'I just stepped inside the door and said, 'I'm Hillary Clinton 's driver and I've just killed the old cow.' The rest happened so fast I couldn't stop it.

OBAMA ROUTS CLINTON 55-27%

I thought William Jefferson Clinton was a pretty good President. But the conduct of President and Senator Clinton this past week disgusts me and removed whatever goodwill I ever held for him. The uglyweird neurotic Clinton siamese twins are b-a-ack. If there is one Democratic candidate who can energized the evilly corrupt Republic smear machine and keep those assholes in the White House, it is Hillary Rodham Clinton. A more polarizing choice is simply not possible.

"Make Obama 'the nigger candidate' and we can clean up!" Because if they can paint him like that, they are perfectly willing to forfeit South Carolina where Democrats are mostly black and the state as a whole votes Republican because they don't really give a shit about the rural South anyway, they only have to pretend to. It's just a chip in a no-rules poker game. They are shrewd enough to know there are still vast veins of racist ore to be mined for delegates in New England, California, and the fly-over states. (See: Republican ultra-focus on the immigration issue)

Bill Clinton spewed feces at every turn in South Carolina, often campaigning alone while Hil was off to one of the Super Tuesday states. It was a finely calculated political hack job (remember, Bill is the slickest politician since Nixon who channelled his very own Karl Rove in James Carville). The hope of a black man becoming President is a "fairy tale." "Well, Obama ran a good race (no pun intended? hmm) just like Jessie Jackson did in 1984 and 1988." Go ahead and jab that finger at the press, Bill ... it always reminds intelligent voters of your earlier performance in "I ... did ... not ... have ... sex, with that woman, Miss Lewinski."

I think Senator Clinton takes a plurality of the Super Tuesday votes and delegates, while Obama continues to win in heavily Southern Black states like Alabama and Georgia due to the combination of a solid black voting bloc (80% of black women voted for him in South Carolina) and the cross-over among thinking white voters and independents (Democratic turnout was TWICE what it was in the Republican South Carolina primary a week earlier in a heavily Republican state, showing independents energized by the Dem battle of ideals versus smear politics as usual). Senator Edwards cleaned up with white men, but still came in a solid third with 18%. Winning delegates but nothing else so far.

The best I see to hope for is a brokered Democratic Convention this Summer in Denver and that Senator Edwards throws his support to Obama in exchange for another Vice Presidential spot on the ticket. I consider Edwards to be a smart politician who knows Clinton is the only person on earth who is quite capable of blowing the third consecutive "sure thing" Presidential election for the Democratic Party.

Sheesh.

Day'um ...

On the eve of the South Carolina Democratic Primary:

have fun.

Why Al Gore Is Not President

by Rick Jacobs

Al Gore is truth. Think about it. He says what needs to be said without fear, without posturing. He leads.

He succeeds in the worlds of politics, business, and diplomacy. He reads and writes history. He has access to the smartest people on the planet. He has a loving, close-knit family who are his best friends. He rose from the politically dead in 2000, left behind by his “friends” who thought he could no longer help them, having lost an election to thieves.

Today, Al Gore quietly endorsed equal rights for homosexuals. He did not make a big announcement. He didn’t hold a press conference. He didn’t stand in front of a rainbow coalition. He just put up a video on his Current TV. It’s vintage Al Gore: just the facts, a statement of the obvious that our politicians are too scared to address head on.
