The text of the email you've posted here makes my blood run cold. Yes. This is exactly who supports Obama. They think if a person who hasn't earned the Presidency of this country takes the Oval Office, they will also get everything they want but haven't worked for.
Our country is sick because there are so many sick people in it.
And we all share a bit of the blame. The very traits I'm lambasting here, I have at times in my life been guilty of -- but then I grew up.
This was an outstanding post.

I wonder at the contempt for people of the working class. They are the foundation a country is built upon. How is work not honorable? Our society would notice the garbage men not working long before it took notice of a wall street trader taking a month off. How do we not respect anyone who goes to work every day to earn a living to take care of his/her family?
I don't want to be accused of stereo-typing but I have to imagine that most working class people are forced to be pragmatic and don't have time to be lifted to a higher ground by soaring oratory. When you're worried about putting food on the table you can't be
The Barackis put their noses up in the air and miss the recession on the ground. What qualifications does Senator Obama have to deal with our faltering ecomony? Have we ever had a less qualified candidate? Even Ronald Reagan had been governor of California. We are in huge trouble as evidenced by the article John posted above on the dollar and all the great speeches in the world won't fix it.

Well this morning CNN had a consultant on to advise Barack Obama what to do with Hillary's white house records...mostly to say that she held "teas" and things just like a good little woman. I tell you, I am incensed at the shabby way in which the Democratic party is treating Hillary and I intend to go to the board of elections site and change my registration to Independent today. I no longer want to be affiliated with these people who ignore this man's record of dubious associations and repeated backtracks and lies. The mere fact that any of the party people would dare to continue to say that this primary has to "end now" to hand the nomination to this mediocre man before the next thing is exposed, while throwing a superior woman under the bus tells me that there is fear at play here.
The party is not willing to own up to this candidate who is a loser in the end. And to hear bill richardson say Obama has his superdelegate vote even though Hillary won his state tells me that there is a double standard of the highest magnitude going on here right in the face of America's women. Just like the old days!
How many times have we heard the Obama campaign say that this is not acceptable to vote against him if HE won the superdelegates constituency. He changes the bar every single day and gets away with it. What's ok for him isn't ok for Hillary. If this isn't double talk I don't know what is. Furthermore, he AND the party worked in tandem to disinfranchise Florida and Michigan by thrwarted their efforts to revote at every turn. And Obama got away with it. And Dean helped him. If ANYBODY is "stealing" this election it is Barack Obama.
The Party doesn't care about Farrakhan comparing Obama to Jesus. They don't care about that savage Wright. tghey don't care that Canada got told to ignore his NAFTA talk. They won't recognize the Bill Ayers Weatherman Bomber as his buddy. The Rezko case, which stinks to high heaven, doesn't bother them. Michelle O'Angry saying she's proud of America for the first time doesn't bother them. Shit just slides off of this bum and that is because they have placed their own personal teflon on him. He is a loser. McCain will crush him. They-- The Democratic party --collectively is a sexist pig and I no longer want to be affiliated with them. If Barack Obama is the nominee after all of this, I will vote for John McCain in the fall. By then the party will be embarrassed into the next continent, all because they are afraid of race riots. It will be just as well. I would rather have a hundred years in Iraq than live through the Weatherman years again. And that is exactly what we would get from this fake Barack Obama.
I watched Hillary's talk today about the economy. Of course, CNN cut into it because they can't stay away from their lovechild Obama very long. But the truth is, there is no way on earth Barack Obama could have talked about the economy with the knowledge she portrayed. He's an empty s

Oh, and, by the way (and I know everyone here knows this), the 'working class' gave us everything we define our American lives by. Disrespecting them only ends one way... oh, and that one way is happening as we speak.
On another note, I'm considering registering as an independent as well. If THIS is the Democratic party, I'm not a Democrat.
HOWEVER, are we playing right into the hands of the GOP? That concerns me.

Dear Chico, Chico, Chico...
If we have learned one thing this year, it's that trusting our party to do the right thing is a mistake. Yes, I admit I am very very angry. It seems that anger is something they can relate to. Obama's people certainly got away with it. Being nice to these people at this point is like saying, "Come back! There's a part of my face you haven't stepped on yet!".
Jay, I honestly think that Independents make the GOP as nervous as they make the Democratic Party. They can't get Independents to Lockstep. But your mention of the middle class also reminds me of something. I don't think that Obama worshippers in general are the "upscale" people the Obama Channels call them. Mostly they are children whose parents bust their asses to send them to school, so that they can cut class to terrorize people in caucuses, while their parents are at work and can't be at caucus at a certain hour. These are the same starry-eyed kids who move back home after school so that they can sponge off their parents and appear 'upscale' by spending all their money on themselves. God knows, most of my friends have at least one of those Obamazoids living home. Ironically, these are the same people who will take social security away from their parents right after they spend all their parents' retirement money in order to look "upscale". Where I come from, we call them NIKEs (No Income Kids With Education). If they had to pay for food, mortgages, their own cell phone bills and taxes on their parents' homes, they would be middle class. These are many of the Obama caucus people, along with charged up African Americans who don't recognize the Return of Clarence Thomas. The irregularities and trouble they generated in caucuses throughout the USA this year will become legendary. That is why Obama does so well in caucuses and is a bust in real primaries where one person-one vote counts. Nobody to harrass the voters.
Caucuses work great for fraudulent candidates. All they need to do is rally the crowd that attend his MTV rallies. Overall I would say the "Obama Girl" is more like a typical Obama follower, along with high school kids and other people who have no decision making skills to begin with. To them, Obama is a celebrity to worship and the real responsibilities of the President isn't even a real consideration to them. To them, it would just be "cool" to have Obama be president.

Great idea! (Hillary as write-in, if necessary.) How about making this intention known to the DNC right now? I have written to their website as an individual, but don't feel that has much impact.
Taking this to a much more effective level, how about flooding the DNC email (attention of Howard Dean, Chairman) declaring our intent to vote for Hillary as a write-in, if necessary. I think the part that we are 'registered Democrats" who will also change our registrations to Independent can't hurt either. After all, the best way to get through a thick skull is by hammering on the same spot with the same message, ad nauseum. (You know, the way the MSM does to us)
How's this for a header: "Will of the People"? Who better to compose our Walking out on the Party declaration than Liberal Rapture (of course). While we are at it, maybe we should state our demands like:
a) Count MI/FLA or take real action for revote.
b) Stop holding Hillary's SuperDelegates hostage c) DNC must issue statements to MSM demanding equal air time and respectful treatment of Hillary Clinton's candidacy.
A second flood of copies of our Declaration to the Super Delegates Hub wouldn't hurt either.
What do you think? Liberalrapture please write and post a suitable piece for any who wish to cut/paste & forward. Count me in. Also, I'll forward to my email list (inviting participation) and hope others (like Molly) post the piece on their blogs.

We all know Hillary though, and that is why there is a good chance we WON'T need write-ins. If Obama thinks he needed a vacation this week, he ain't seen nuthin' yet. Her energy surpassed his long ago. Her brain is working harder when she's sleeping than his is working during his waking hours. Look at what she has done in spite of Obama, his smarmy campaign people, and the entire MSN. That woman is a leader who is capable of focusing even under the greatest stress. Obama would be sucking his thumb by now if he had to incur the assaults she has waded through.

Thanks to Jay for showing (with website ready) that we mean business. A DNC for BO is a party without mainstream centrist support.
See today's Liberal Rapture article is reflecting broader current trend toward laughter as good medicine, as well. Last night saw a site in state where Hillary is campaigning. Local article linked to video proof of Obama's total (and typical) 180 shift on health care. (Incidentally, when will the MSM mention that his wife is a highly paid hospital administrator and just got a big raise?) So much for holding down health care costs.
Article also referenced his documented ambivalence on decriminalization of marijuana. He's on record for waffling about that 3 times already and his latest excuse is that he didn't know what decriminalization meant when he said he supported it! Think changing his position this many times is a record - even for shape-shifting BO. Of course, Obamawatchers know that his number of position shifts will always equal the different types of audience he is targeting at any given moment.
Best part of the piece was the journalist's advice to read through the comments for much humor- so I did so - three pages of comments by kids (yes, the youth vote!) and they were even funnier than Molly! (Sorry, Molly, but you are probably glad to hear that you now have competition in the digs department from the 18 yr. old demographic- of all places!)
Sorry, I lost the link so I can't turn you on to the total humor, but can relay that (at least part of) the "youth" vote is smartening up. One said that Kerry's supposed flip-flops were nothing compared to Obama's "waffling" and that she wants to make a video with a giant Egg-O waffle on his head, followed by clips of his endless lies on everything.
Anyway, here's the one clip I got there before my crash:
"He has aliented the seniors, women, the military, white blue collar workers, Latinos and now he is working on the kids.
I feel so unified. How about you"
Hope that brightens everyone's day. Must go make my breakfast - Obama on toast. (Thanks again to Molly for that one.)

It's a shame that the first black man to make a serious run for the presidency had to be Obama. It is also unfortunate that both major political parties are so bereft of good leaders. Our political process has degenerated, and most good people don't want to be involved in politics today. Politics is now a slimy profession rather than a service to country.

The long-term problem of numerous irreconcilable differences really has only one solution, and you already know what that is: divorce.
When the New Black Panther party says: "We want freedom. We want the power to practice self-determination, and to determine the destiny of our community and THE BLACK NATION," we, the men and women of European Americans United AGREE. When the Trinity United Church of Christ seeks: "A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA," we AGREE. When the Nation of Islam says: "We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own--either on this continent or elsewhere..." We, the men and women of European Americans United, agree.

Couple of thoughts: don't brag you have a BFA--it is just another way of saying you spent four years getting drunk on your parents money.
Florida and Michigan were both warned beforehand they would forfeit their delegates if they moved up their primary. They did it anyway and now have to live with the results.
The Clintons pastor and Mike Huckabee both came out in support of Rev Wright.
McCain courted Ron Parsley and John Hagee, both of whom spout vile on a par with anything said by Wright.
and I am British, so my views won't translate into a vote for any of the candidates. I do find your misguided venom entertaining though

Well, ma'am, if it's any consolation at all, there will be a ton of Republicans faced with voting for McCain that will carry at LEAST as much angst into the voting booth that you will, if you end up at that result.
Obama will be the Dem nominee. It can't be any other way given the state of the party. He is (a) ahead by the accepted interpretation of "popular support" [and no, NOBODY but G*d and Stephen Hawking actually understand the methodology for actually weighting all the different vote/caucus combos put in place by the DNC] in the so- far completed primaries and (b) being black.
Hillary is unlikable enough on her own that many Liberal women already liked another option to support. Obama... charismatic, telegenic, smooth, and unfortunately as hollow as an unfilled pinata... scored huge points before the media got near to where blogs had already arrived at as far as who "who" was where the Hopey Changey man was concerned.
The Super Delegates aren't going to shaft the brother. It's that simple. They already know that neither Hill nor Obama has a chance in the general... but they are hoping as only hacks can hope that Barak's name on the ticket brings enough Black Democrats to the polls to get them elected, locally, again. If they don't have him there... it will be 1994 all over again, except this time the presidency goes, too.
Have a fine one. It's going to be a popcorn summer for everybody.

I believe that you meant you are "loath to vote for him," and that you "loathe his supporters."
Obama seems to be one of those cases where the more you actually understand about him and his past, the more you are loath to vote for him. And the more you loathe his supporters who look down on you.

Your world view is not the same - you've seen real life, and it's not as simple as you thought when you were 16.

In any case even without FLa all Gore had to do was win his home state. May the people of Tenn knew something you don't.
In any case the drug war is a class war
Class War
aimed mainly at blacks. I would expect Democrats to be unanimously against it. Yeah. I know. Class warfare is not a Republican issue. Well I'm not in lockstep with my party. I call 'em like I see 'em. I voted Obama over Keyes in '04. I can't abide theocons. Not on the left. Not on the right. Same for racists. I came down hard on Trent Lott. He deserved it.
Most folks here are not buying the Obama Kool Aid - excellent. Don't buy the stolen election Kool Aid. The county with the punch card ballots that caused so much trouble was run by Democrats.
BTW I think Hillary would make a reasonably good President and I was no Bill hater either. I personally like McCain better, but I agree - Obama would be a disaster.
It is obvious Thomas calls 'em as he sees 'em. He will buck the party line if he believes the Constitution demands it. As to the other four votes: I think you have a better case than you do with Thomas.

As a Rethuglican, I would like to quote the severed head of Ash the android in "Alien," right before they unplugged him for good:
"You have my sympathies."

There has never been a responsible Democratic candidate this election. I mean that sincerely. Not one.
Doing the right thing for Democrats means not voting for the nominee this November or voting for McCain.

Frustrated Democrat voters are not anti-female, they're anti-Hillary. Nor are they anti-black: They're anti vile, racist Black Power advocate Barack and his all-entitled spouse Michelle.
"Estrogen vs. melanin": Identity politics festering over forty years distribute only deflated life-jackets. Bruiting Al Gore (why not Ted Kennedy?) compounds the irony. By Rule of 36, this is the McGovernites' last call, the Boomer generation's final opportunity to rule-and-ruin as MzBill sees fit. Fortunately, the Class of 1972 doesn't have a prayer.

william ayres is a professor, not a terrorist.
wright is an excessive speaker, not a spewer of "bile."
you, however, are someone who got lazy about their political information, not someone who "c[ame] to understand that [obama] was a shallow pretender."

What can one say to an Obama supporter that is rational and factual and will get through their trance?
Answer: Absolutely nothing. Because a) they do not function at the level of logic and b) they will defend, however irrationally, against any content that diminishes the unnatural "high" they are on.
Why: Because the entranced Obamanites live in a virtual reality which is committed and dedicated to their own idyllic hallucinations. In fairness, their ideals probably don't differ from the rest of us.
Their misguided expectation that BHO has any intention, commitment or capacity to fulfill this shared vision is where they are going off a cliff - and trying hard to take the rest of us along (the way any kind of addict does).
We would all do well to follow the standard AA advice: Don't try to reason with a drunk while they are on the bottle.
Those fallen under his spell already are not likely to wake up from their trance. But for those still deciding (and who may yet have a primary vote) realize this one underlying truth to the Obama campaign:
HE SAYS NOTHING AND YOU HEAR WHAT YOU HOPE HE MEANS.

I'm furious at the way the party has dumped on Hillary and her supporters. In all my years I've never ever seen anything like this. I will not vote for a condescending racist like obama.

Given how Hillary has conducted herself and her campaign, she deserves every ounce of negative attention.
She's power hungry and disingenuous and must not be let anywhere near the white house with some sort of authority.
Obama will carry november, watch.

Ever wonder why you more and more agree with people you fought against for years and less and less with the candidate and positions you claim to support...You people are frauds, pure and simple
