It doesn’t matter if Hillary wins or loses in Pennsylvania. The Clintons knew all along about Obama’s relationships with his racist preacher and a unrepentant terrorist. Their plan is to take the nomination by using the Superdelegate vote on the basis of Obama’s unelectability. It matters not to the Clintons that Denver will make Chicago 1968 look like a garden party. Hillary firmly believes it’s her birthright to be the first woman President.

Well, Cynthia, paint it any way you like. If Hillary wins, she wins. PERIOD.

While the Dem leadership may not like it, Hillary has EARNED her place at the convention and can marshal her delegates as she sees fit. All we need is one more racist or bomb-throwing “neighbor” or “aquaintance” of Obama, and he will be unelectable no matter what Hillary does. If a white man had this many questionable racist white associates, he would be unelectable to national office. What makes the Democrats think that blacks associating with black racists is any different?

The more Hillary campaigns the more I dislike her. Her campaign is nothing more than what the Republicans did to her and Bill in the 90s. I always thought I would vote for her if she ran for president…. I thought wrong. It is so sad to see her talk about loss of jobs b/c of NAFTA when she helped create this mess.
NOW, if by some miracle she gets the nomination, I would vote for her.
There is no way I would EVER vote for McCain. He scares me b/c he sounds too much like Bush. The days of the independent maverick McCain are long gone. Back to Hillary, if she doesn’t win by double digits, she should bow out gracefully.

Speaking of association with racists why has the video with the Governor Rendall of Pennsylvania with Farrakhan surfaced yet. If I have seen/heard the WHOLE video and not just listen to a 20 second sound bite why hasn’t the major news outlets let the public see the video. They are supporting Hiliary. If this was a major supporter of Obama they will be ALL over it. Why hasn’t the headlines said that Hiliary is a LIAR. Obama is gonna take it baby. Believe it. At first they thought he was a joke. He was right about that joke of a debate. They wasn’t 42 minutes talking about nothing. Hiliary looked like a deer caught in the healights standing there.

Hillary is running out of $$$, Obama has plenty. She’ll need to start thinking of ways to retire her campaign debt — which will be no easy task. It is not easy to ask donors for money when you’re no longer a candidate.

Gee Cynthia, I don’t hear any more of that trash talk from you about how ‘blacks are less likely to vote for blacks than whites are for white candidates.’ What a load of bull that is, considering the 90 plus percent of the black vote that Obama has been getting in every primary count. If what you said was even approaching the truth, or actually the reality of the situation, then Clinton would be winning every single primary by massive numbers, based upon the black versus white turnout. As usual, you try to portray your people as thoughtful and intelligent voters, when in fact they are no more than a herd of sheep with voting rights.

Rdhood, white people do have the same type of associations, but they are just never called out. For instance, Gov. Rendell suported the million man march, he introduced Louis Farrakhan at an event, and he said wonderful things about him. Saw it on cnn yesterday with my own eyes. The problem is the double standard. Also what about the photo of Bill Clinton with Rev. Wrignt whom Counciled Bill during the Lewinsky Scandal. Secondly we have openly Racist people in washington, Senator Byrd a Klansman or use to be Klansman. Where is the outrage?, Should the US Senate disavow him?.

Hillary may be a liar, in fact she has proven she is. But don’t think for a minute Obama is above lying. He’s been doing it since day one claiming to have voted against invading Iraq. How did he do that when he wasn’t even in Washington when the vote was made? Now he may have been against the invasion on a personal level, but anyone that isn’t held to a vote could claim that. I guess Hillary can say she voted against Vietnam.

For all the Obama faithful, he is an excellent speaker, but he has you fooled. He is no different than anything else that has been to Washington before him. He lies, manipulates the truth, uses attack ads, is extremely wealthy (4.5 million in earnings last year alone), and really only cares for those that support him. He and his wife have admitted they are not proud to be Americans and openly associates with known terrorist that have attacked this country in the past with the only regret is they did not attack more before being caught.

Obama will more in likely win as the Democratic nominee, which will assure McCain the presidency. Like I heard on the radio the other day, McCain will probably go down in history as one of the luckiest candidates in history. This was the Democrats election to lose, and they have pretty much done that.

I don’t see a homeless person under a bridge who has a lobbyist working for them. It is just amazing how white folks tell black folks not to get mad at Bill Cosby because he speaks the truth but when someone says anything about them they are a threat, or in their favorite word “CONTROVERSIAL”. They act as if Hiliaty wins Pennsylvania she has the nomination. She still has a ways to go. Hiliary says that she was born in Pennsylvania and considering that her/Bill made 109G’s has she started any programs to help Pittsburgh such as a center to help me people find jobs. She has not put one dime in her start to help the less fortunate and now she is begging for their votes.

The irony is what a red herring a black and a woman candidate for president can be in the face of the larger irony of America. Our most successful corporations, like Archer Daniels Midland, are subsidized like the bluechipped, pinkslipping, pinkorps they truly are.

That’s the irony of our Republic: The people are free to be slaves where the communist corporate overlords dont even have to house, clothe, or feed them. Or doctor them. Or educate them. Or poll them. (But really, how can you doctor the ill-informed?) sorry.

Communism is defined by subsidized corporate earnings combined with the advantage of owning the courts, the police, and the army. Defacto communism, and it’s cute little mini-me’s, socialism and fascism, are easily disquised with Gods Guns and F(l)ags.

We’ve been had. It’s not so much “we demand our country back”, but rather, “where’s the country that was described in the brochures?”

To any conservative communist I can only say this: it’s not over. Any population, oppressed by a lie, will ultimately become their own truth.

Hillary’s campaign tactics disgust me.

As for Obama and guilt by association, every candidate has unsavory acquaintances. Hillary’s brother-in-law is a known coke head, her husband is a self-admitted adulterer, and Bill Clinton invited Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s infamous pastor) to the White House to pray with him when he was seeking spiritual redemption for the Monica mess. For someone living in a glass house, Hil’s been throwing a lot of stones.

Rev. White spoke the truth as you want to hear it. Part of his speech was this country is ran by rich white people. But I beg to differ that white votes introduced AIDS to wipe out the black population, or introduced drugs to the blacks so they would kill each other off, or any of the other “crimes” the so called Reverend claims. The man is a bigotted racist pig and is no different than someone from a white supremist claiming that blacks are trying to kill off the white race by selling “dirty” drugs to white kids.

Bill Cosby is right because he states we all (we being blacks, whites, hispanics, everyone) need to take responsibility for our actions and raise our children right. It is no more the white man’s fault that a black gang does a drive by and kills 4 black kids as it is the black man’s fault 2 white kids OD’d doing crack and whatever else they could buy. But if you listen to Mr. Wright (I remove the Reverend from his name because no man of God would speak the way he does), all of America’s problems lie on the rich white man and no one is responsible for their own actions anymore. AND THAT IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA. IT IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU ARE A LOW LIFE BUM SELLING OR DOING DRUGS, IT IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL AND CAN’T FIND A DECENT JOB, IT IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU COMMITTED A CRIME AND ARE IN PRISION, IT IS YOUR FAULT IF YOU HAVE FATHERED MANY BABIES BUT REFUSE TO BE A FATHER OR SUPPORT ANY OF THEM. And it would be your fault if you took advantage of the opportunities that exist today for all American’s and made something of yourself. Anyone can overcome most all adversities today, but most of the training must come from home. This was Obama’s original lesson plan when he began his campaign and he had me going on that point. But then I hear of his associations and other contradicting speeches now and see he is no different than those before him.

By One, don’t get me wrong. I think the Democrats have lost this Presidency either way. I do think Obama has just as much chance against McCain as Hillary. But neither would make a good candidate at this point.

It’s funny most refer to Hillary as “Billary” when it has been suspected that Bill has been purposely trying to sabotage Hillary’s chances. There was a report done this weekend that outlined all Bill has done and how, the so-called smartest politician, has made one slip up after the other and has said one wrong thing after the other. Such mistakes were never made when he was running, he was smooth as silk. The article stated that politics is a control thing and Bill would not be the top dog if Hillary became President. Also Bill stands to lose millions of dollars from speeches and such because as the first “man” he is forbidden from accepting funds for speeches.

Face the facts, if Obama can’t beat her and she can’t beat him, when neither of the two are above the avergae mark, what does this say about the general election ? The Democrats should have walked away with this election long before now. We have a sitting President with approval ratings in the basement, or lower, yet the Democrats can’t seem to win. All the while McCain is sitting in the shadows poised to strike. McCain is not the kind of Republican either of the two Democrats can say is too far right wing or too conservative for the average American. Like myself, a lot of disgrunted people who on average vote independent can easily vote for McCain, IF he chooses the right running mate. This school yard fight between Hillary and Obama has gotten to the point of no return, I don’t see a good outcome for the Democrats come general election time. I feel as if Hillary is hanging on by a thread because she is privy to some yet to be told news that will manifest itself at a later date and will sink Obama.

As a staunch Republican, run either of them…hell run both of them; McCain is going to take 35 or 40 states in the general election. This race will be decided by white males between the ages of 24 and 49 and this age demographic is not the monolithic block vote Obama or Hillary has in their corners, the group both need to be able to win. Also, a lot of this so called support for Obama we are seeing today won’t pan out in November, they won’t vote for him.

Rev. Wright is not a racist. Anyone who refers to him as such has his or her head in the sand. Dr. King said many of the same things in his sermon “Drum Major Insticts”. Clinton says that Rev. Wright would not have been her pastor. You choose a pastor and your friends. Well she made the decision to stay with her adulterous, lying, perjury committing husband. Her husband pardoned some really bad people before he left office. This will all be under the microscope if she is the nominee. These distractions will not trip Obama up. If he wins N.C., Indiana and Oregon, I really believe she should consider exiting before the convention. The party needs a clear nominee before the summer or this country will elect George Bush III aka John McCain.

I am a Obama supporter and I think the Dems should let this play out because a REPULBICAN CAN NOT WIN!!!! The math over the last 18 months has been simple. The Republicans did not win one incumbent Democratic seat in Congress in ‘06 and heck they lost the Speaker of the House seat, Hasert as well..If Dems, which with new-registered voters seems to be the case, it’s going to be a land-slide in November. The Republican strategists know this and the Dems understand this as well. Its inevitable that the Dems will win the White House but by what margin will they win Congress is the key..I beg for any Hannity/Limbaugh supporter to dispute this

Ok hotlanta. I think you have me confused with someone who cares about what has happened in the past. This is here and now and we have to stop Hussein Obama from getting to the White House. In addition to admitting he does not say The Pledge of Allegiance, he also admits to knowing NOTHING about the economy. NOTHING about foreign affairs…..Do you get the picture? Can you spell EMPTY SUIT?

Did you know he voted “present” instead of “yes” or “no” 70% of the time in his very short time in the Senate? Can you say Air Head?

To “Political Asylum”: The party-faithful Republicans and Democrats are not the ones who are going to decide this election - the 40% of us who are the swing voters are going to be the decision makers. We in the middle are frankly getting tired of the extremes and I, for one, can’t vote for either of the clowns who are slugging it out in today’s Pennsylvania primary. We are the ones who changed congress two years ago to send a message to both parties and - you know what? - we are getting ready to change it back because it didn’t work. And - we might just that congress a conservative president to work with!

Cynthia, you and the AJC may not support Hillary Clinton, but this Atlantan and native Georgian does!

When asked about rising gas prices on CNN’s Larry King Live, Hillary responded with a plan to use the strategic oil reserves, to investigate big oil and determine how they are getting away with price gouging and then prevent it, then tax those massive profits of big oil to reinvest that money into research towards oil independence.

Asked the same question on Good Morning America by Robin Roberts, Obama responded: we will cut the taxes on the middle class.

OK - Hillary has her eye on how to solve problems NOW. Obama has his eye on an ill-informed flash card. Wrong answer for the right question!

Like I said before this country will never ever be united to many people see things so differently it’s amazing but I think most of it is just ignorance no one wants the TRUE FACTS they just go with what they see on TV or the Internet. I find it very funny that some white people have a problem with black people voting for a black person when black people have supported white candidates for a very long time and the truth of the matter is that every black person is not supporting Obama So to “BUDWEISER” you don’t seem to be wise on the FACTS. And to “No Terrorists” it’s obvious how educated you are on the FACTS every politician does not wear one of those pins people like you don’t have anything concrete that will stick to obama that’s why you try and blame things that other people say or do on him IE..Rev Wright We’ve all heard our pastors say some demeaning things in the pool pit, just imagine what was said about blacks in the pool pit by white preachers during the jim crow era and even before it’s funny how some whites won’t criticize their pastors for things they’ve said but put a black preacher under radar for things he said, no one complained harshly about HAGEE and his tormented comments when he supported Mccain, so you can’t have it both ways.

“If a white man had this many questionable racist white associates, he would be unelectable to national office. “

Jesus, you must be freaking joking. McCain has ties to questionable religious leaders- the same ones he was against before he became buddies with, has attacked other Senators, left a disfigured wife who waited for him while he was a POW to marry a blond, wealthy trophy wife, and cannot get simple questions correct on any topic. Yet the media refuses to say anything about any of it! He is given a pass just like W was!

McCain is a dangerous man in any situation, with his anger and less than normal intellect, yet the rubes of the GOP want to make him the man with his finger on the nuclear button! Real smart!

I am still waiting for someone to please tell me what Hillary has done.

They built a house for 25 million and then build a staff house to house secret service and charge the government like a 600,000 per month in rent so we the taxpayers can pay their mortgage. WE PAY THAT

Lets see, she voted for illegals to have drivers licenses and for ammesty, but voted against supplying our men and women fighting the needed supplies to keep them safe.

She voted for more welfare making people earning 60K per year eligable to drop their healthcare and get their kids on state heathcare. ANOTHER TAX SHE WANTS US TO PAY

She wants to give bonds to every child born. Hey wait, if you cant afford that kid then dont have it. Bonds? I dont think so.

She wants to take away the tax break and then raise taxes over that. About a 40% tax hike in real terms. Can you live with that?

Then theres polsei who wants to spend 487,000 on a studt A STUDY to see how they can save money for the electric lighting at the capital. Oh give me a break. Which friend needs a new house.

What the democrates need to do is look at their democrates and vote them out of office. Government is way to big and they are spending our money, I repeat, OUR MONEY on stupid stuff over and over again.

Government has become so corrupt that it wont matter who gets elected. Until the Americans stand up and vote out all the incombents and make a statement that we have had enough then it will continue. We have lost our voice and we need to get it back.

Man wake-up if a president has a great team which you see because he has out smarted the CLINTON machine means he can manage and hire compentent workers!

You think he is lucky to come up with THE CHANGE STATEMENTS WHEN NO OTHER CANDIDATE SAID ANYTHING ABOUT INVOLVING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS SO THEY CAN HAVE A VOICE.

MY FELLOW “BITTER”, STUPID, WORKING CLASS PEOPLE :-)

If you think like Barack Obama, that WORKING CLASS PEOPLE are just a bunch of “BITTER”!, STUPID, PEASANTS, Cash COWS!, and CANNON FODDER. :-(

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..

You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton. :-)

Best regards

jacksmith… Working Class :-)

p.s. You Might Be An Idiot! :-)

If you don’t know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering…

You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year. :-)

Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on…

I am AMAZED at the people out here who just claim to LOVE Hillarity Clinton all of a sudden. My, how they have forgotten that that duo who occupied the white house was drowned in some sort of scandal the entire time they were in office. And people are all of a sudden just peachy about letting them go back into the white house and pick up right where they left off; with their cut throat and deceitful politics. She’ll tell you anything to get elected; will smack you upside your head when your back is turned and then hide her hands behind her back and grin when you turn around looking for someone’s —-to kick!

“Obliterate” Iran?? She’ll probably break out in tears!!! We all know that Hilary is only this cocky because she knows the “experience” she has is leaning on her husband to in many ways run the country again. She only got elected to the NY Senate seat because people were on some emotional high after Bill’s presidency.

John McCain is slowly but surely exhibiting signs of SENILITY, which is why he can only discuss one topic - IRAQ! And he even does that with both his eyes flashing every three seconds..while he’s talking! I have tried to do this, and it’s difficult. Tell me that’s not some sort of degeneration.

Barack Obama while new, has proven he is well worth his salt. Hilary is only still in this race because of the politics of fear she played the days leading up to the Texas and Ohio primaries. That and the Republican sheep flocking to vote for her at the command of Rush Limbaugh. We really need to have a “keep it real” moment here. Things are not being told “like it is”. Barack has held his own ON HIS OWN. Hilary has had Bill, Chelsey and everybody else and their momma out on the stump for her, AND SHE’S STILL BEHIND OBAMA IN ALL CATEGORIES!!

Say what you want, but we know the statistic.. Blacks only comprise 13% of the population, and if such a large % of Black males are “supposed to be felons” and cannot vote then.. SOMEBODY’S voting for Barack???

Where was the outrage when the religious right / GOP said America brought 9/11 on itself because of it permissive society- gays, abortion, feminists? You GOP rubes have a very selective memory!

Also, Google the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. While the US government did not inflict black males with Syphilis, it did allow them to go untreated, and in fact prevented them from getting treatment when they were diagnosed by the army. 128 of these men died of Syphilis or complications because of this. Spouses were infected, and children were born with congenital syphilis because of the study. Please spare me the garbage about how the US would not do things like that. They have and they do. They currently US shames itself by torturing prisoners.

The numbers, by all counts, show a race that is dead heat. Yet many folks in the media and these so called party elders keep calling her to bow out or introducing new definition of a ‘win’ such as margin. It is nothing short of bullying and sexism!

Even if Clinton wins by 1 vote, then she should be the nominee because the big question is that Obama failed to deliver yet again, another big state considering that he is outspending her by 3 or even 5 to 1, same thing that he did in Texas and Ohio.

I am old enough, unlike many of you perhaps, to recall the 1980 election between Raegan and Carter and everyone thought Carter would walk away with it. He was crushed in the general election. The recent trip to meet with Hamas that Carter made gave McCain the same 40% of the entire Jewish vote that raegan received. This same 40% pushed Raegan over the top. Obama keeps piling up horrible endorsements that will not fit too well with mainstream Amercia. Liberals are out of touch, they don’t have a clue how the average working man or woman in rural Amercia thinks.

For people to paint Obama as a racist is crazy. HIS MOTHER IS WHITE! What logic do you use for this conclusion?

Funny, what happened to all the excuses for a Democrat. She has been outspent 2 to 1 by her opponent. He is winning with numbers that will go for her in the fall and not McCain. His delegate count comes mostly from your goofy caucuses which most voters do not understand and she did not address thinking that super tuesday would be hers. She carried all the states that matter in the real election against republicans…. But if she does not win Penn by double digits she is done? Your bais is undeniable. As a republican I suggest you really look at the numbers and the money and realize you are shooting yourself in the foot. He can’t win spending twice as much money with all the media support and the momentom. All I can say is MCCain in 08, and the country will be better for it.

In her never ending campaign to push Obama (regardless of what surfaces about him), Ms. Tucker just shows that she will spare nothing to promote her cause.

Enjoy your pulpit while you have it, Ms. Tucker. Just curious what you will do when the AJC is pared back to nothing.

This race to the bottom of a cesspool is an exercise in futility. Neither Oboma or Mrs. Clinton have demonstrated competency in administration. Both have demonstrated competency by promising almost any and everything to obtain the votes necessary for a seat in the senate from the ignorant people who believed their statements. Both have also demonstrated a lack of being any where close to normal emotionally/psychologically/logically by being incapable of telling a minister(Obama) or husband(Mrs. Clinton) to take a long walk on a short pier for actions and/or words that were and are totally reprehensible.

To SAR and Racebaiter, Go and EDUCATE yourself on DR. KING’S WRITINGS SO YOU CAN STOP BEING SO STUPID!!! Why do you continue to call Rev. Wright a Racist and REV. BILLY GRAHAM IS ANTI-SEMITIC? IF YOU DON’T BELEIVE ME, GOOGLE REV GRAHAM AND THE JEWISH POPULATION.

THEN TELL ME WHO IS REALLY THE RACIST, YOU IDIOT!

Some of this bloggers are experts in racism. They and their forefathers have practiced it for over 388 years in America. I guess environment does play a big role in racist ideologies and cultural development doesn’t it?
