The Clinton Machine grinds on…

Oh, and Obama is still Da Bomb! He has the good judgment that America needs so badly now… as opposed to Hillary’s “experience”, and we all know what that has done for America. She will pay a big price for having voting for Bush’s war back in ‘03…

Obama = good judgment.

Hillary = who knows where her “experience” will take America next.

Please read Dick Morris’ piece on his website (vote.com) and understand that although he knows how to run a successful campaign his analyses are usually wrong. He is soooo wrong this time too. She obviously did help herself with women with her crocodile tears. He is right that Hitlery is NOT of the proper temperament to be President. She will not win because in the end her negatives are much too high.

Woot, from your 6:21 yesterday, you did a very nice job explaining sceintific theory of how the earth and planets MAY have been formed, but, once again, you have completely ignored the question I asked you. You did not answer a single question I asked you yesterday. Not one! Why? Do you not have answers? You claim to have supperior intellect, but you can’t answer simple questions? What gives? So let me keep asking until you give an answer or continue to embarrass yourself with your “superior” intellect.

If all of the planets were formed from the same debris field, why are their compositions different?

I’d also like to have a link to a site showing where the scientists who believe your theory is correct have been able to duplicate the events in a lab environment. I’m sure if this is in FACT the way it happened, they should be able to provide FACTS to support it, right? I don’t want opinions, just the facts, man, just the facts.

Spoken like a true liberal. EVERYTHING is about race and gender in your world, isn’t it? If you don’t vote for Obama, it’s because he’s black. If you don’t vote for Hillary, it’s because she’s a woman.

How about this for you MsG. I’m not going to vote for either one of them because they are socialist leaning liberals who have no accomplishments to present to the American people to show they’re competent to be president. How about that? You see any race or gender in that opinion?

How about one more for you. If Condi ran against ANY of your socialists leaning liberal candidates, I’d vote for her and MILLIONS of R’s would too. I’d vote for Colin Powell over your sad lot. Drop the race and gender issue, libs. It’s YOU who are keeping that division alive in the American populace.

Actually I’m more inclined to think that the press making Hillary inevitable in Iowa made some of her support feel they didn’t need to bother and conversely when they made the claim that Obama was going to win by double digits they made it easier for some undeclared voters switch over to McCain.

I expressed my condolensces yesterday for that poor girl, but the more I read about that, the more gruesome it gets. It aggrevates me that they must print every last detail - give this family a break.

I know I break the liberal code with my death penalty beliefs, but they need to bring back hang, drawn, and quartered for people like that guy who did this.

Back to politics, I think Hillary is a much easier target than Obama. Sexism is much easier to keep subtle than rascism.

For example, the crying incident. I heard someone from Hillary’s campaign on NPR this morning praising her for that - saying it shows her passion, I just thought, “idiot” don’t you remember Pat Schroeder? I know that was a while ago, but a woman politician should NEVER cry in public.

RB from Gwinnett, first of all the ladies name is Condoleeza not Condi. At least show her some respect. And if you and the rest of the R’s, as you put it would only vote for her because she is an R, that means none of you have a mind of your own, or can think for yourselves. You just go into the booth on election day and do what you have been trained for so many years to do, punch the hole next to anything that has an R next to it. “HOW SAD”. One of the things I give most democrats credit for is this. They will at least listen to the candidates and base their votes on what that person can do to move this country forward, and if they think that person will do the right thing by it’s citizens and the rest of the world. But R’s tend to only vote for a candidate if they’re an R. And I think that is far worst than being a racist or sexist. You see I can tell from your comment that you don’t like or have any respect for Condoleeza or Colin. You only know that they think like you. So you deal with them. And when you deal with a black person just because you hate another group of people, your still a racist.

Too bad that the Clintons tried to use “false hope” as their slime-words this week:

“We’ve been warned against offering the people false hope. But in the unlikely story of America there has never been anything false about hope. For when we have faced down impossible odds… generations of Americans have responded with a simple creed that sums up a spirit of a people. Yes we can. Yes we can. Yes we can.”

Obama, in his speech, offered no excuses or explanations for what had transpired. Sensing, perhaps, the disappointment of the crowd, he instead offered thanks for their support. “The reason our campaign has always been different,” he said, “The reason we began this improbable journey almost a year ago is because it is not about what I will do as president, it is about what you, the people who love this country, the citizens of the United States of America can do to change it… That’s what this election is all about. That’s why tonight belongs to you.”

Mrs. G, obviously, the GOP will go neither sexist nor racist in the general election scuffle. They will go mostly toward experience. Neither have executive experience. Neither are long term senators either. Neither have sponsored legislation of note (and that is their primary job).

What the GOP will hope for is exactly what they got yesterday, and that is a close Democratic race. They need HRC and BHO to attack each other down to the wire. Gives them more ammo later in the general fight. It is one thing for a republican to say one of them is unqualified because of , but another thing entirely if they say it among themselves.

I have always had a lot of respect for Colin Powell. He has always seemed like a stand up kind of guy. He, like the rest of us, got duped by W, and the other horsemen of the Apocolypse (no offense, Apocalypse). He had enough sense to not continue on with this perpetual legion of incompentence and mayhem. In interviews I’ve heard with him, I think I could vote for him, based on his character, now his details about issues? I don’t think Powell would have been so gung ho to go to war if he’d had the correct information. No one would have (well, no one with a brain). He’s a military guy who knows the consequences of war.

Domestic issues and Powell? I’ve never really heard him say what he believes, but I’d bet they’d be pretty conservative, and depending on how conservative, I could possibly go with him.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with being emotinal and passionate. I mean look at what we have in the white house now. Two of the most uncaring, unfeeling, dryest, dullest people on the face of this planet. But that says a lot about the republican party in general.

“This really screws up Fox “News””

I turned on the Fox national news at 7 and who did I see on a lengthy interview? Barak Obama.

Then at 7:30 who came on for a live, extended interview? Hillary Clinton.

What it screws up is continuing, inaccurate generalizations. The buzzword is “change” remember?

G’morning, Bosch

When Hillary had her moment I thought , oh no, here we go again with a Sen Muskie reaction. Thankfully we didn’t have that. Glad the country’s moved past the “no emotion” nonsense (as I think interviews with NH voters illustrated - also on NPR this morning, many voters said they felt Hillary wasn’t an unemotional robot after that).

Hillary handled her interview on Fox in such a way that if she keeps it up it could cause a real problem for Obama. Part of it may have been the interviewees’ style - not so much a setup statement followed by a gotcha question as other news shows do - but much more conversational. Even after two hours’ sleep she looked relaxed. Rather the same interaction you see when she’s sitting at the table with a group of voters.

Right at the end there was one statement that I think caught her off guard. The guy said “Sen Clinton, the Fox News poll was closer to the actual vote result than any other major poll.” I imagine she was thinking “what? Fox said I was ahead?!!? Wait’ll I get my hands on that pollster I pay all those bucks to…”

Hillary rose from that disaster over the weekend because an old, old woman threw her a big fat softball over the center of the plate. That old hag was a (till now) unspotted plant. A liver-spotted plant. You see, during the debates, Edwards used the phrase, “it’s personal”, and rallied alot of support and he looked convincing and he rocked. Well Hillary’s focus groups noticed that and got this obvious plant to use the words, “it’s personal” in the question, so that Hillary could use it without appearing to steal it from Edwards.

Notice how Hillary was waiting on that pitch? Her voice became very feminine, soft, reflective and emotional, and it played all the way to Peoria. The media couldn’t replay her response enough times. She got more stage time than anyone. Nobody suspected a thing.

But thanx to me, now that old hag is an outed plant!

Name one thing the democrats have done for you- fought against civil rights, created the perpetual poverty of welfare, dumped your children into overcrowded third rate inner city schools that are not there to educate but are instead pension factories for the Teacher’s Unions.

And now when one of yours steps forward to lead the party, look at all the anger from the white powers that be, calling your legitimate success, your hard earned climb to the top, a “fairy tale.”

They are dismissive of you.

Maybe they will “apologize” to you or offer reparations, you reckon?

So claim your token prize, pack away all of your hopes and all of your dreams, and take your seat on the back of the democrat party bus.

Where they think you belong.

Were taken on Monday among the residents of New Hampshire.

10 point lead Obama.

Tuesday, the people from neighboring Taxachussetts, who were not a part of any poll in New Hampshire, boarded their buses and headed towards the nearest poll.

HeadCase @ 10:26 — you know there’s PLENTY of LIES coming from your lying-liar heroes:

Nationally syndicated radio host Rush Limbaugh repeatedly called Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) “Obama Osama” and “Osama Obama” during the July 11 broadcast of The Rush Limbaugh Show. In criticizing a July 10 speech by Obama in Eatonville, Florida, Limbaugh added “Osama” to the senator’s name seven times.

But our winner is comedian Rush Limbaugh, he read a made-up quote from Obama, supposedly responding to an endorsement from actress Halle Barry. He later admitted it was made-up, but fatso still said, as an Half-African-American, I am honored to have Miss Barry’s support, as well as the support of other Half-African-Americans. Not the first time Limbaugh has used the Half-African insult. Listen Rush, cut to the chase here. You want to call Senator Obama a mulatto or an octaroon, or something. Go for it. Hell, you want to call him the N word. It’s in your heart. Go ahead, come out from under your hood and just say it.

Controversial, yes, but you can’t argue the bipartisanship of it. McCain-Feingold. McCain-Kennedy. Gang of 14 to end the nuclear option, etc.

First of all, I don’t believe Colin Powell to be a murderous demon. I’ve actually met and knew a murderous demon, that’s not something I throw around lightly.

You misunderstood, I wouldn’t give my vote based on someone’s character. I wrote earlier that I would consider Powell for president because I belief him to be a credible guy and if he says he believes this or that, I would trust what he says.

Now, I’ve never heard him address domestic policies, so I don’t know if I could support him or not based on his positions of particular policies.

I don’t throw away my vote, trust me.

He seems, at least to me, like an honest person, which is something you don’t see everyday in politics.

Au contraire. I have a big heart, a bleeding heart liberal you could say, except for murderous demons, whom I believe should be hung, drawn, and quartered.

Good point about the regionalism issue. Rhetorical question: in a general campaign, who’d take the most heat for a Hillary-style emotional reaction? A female candidate? Or a male candidate?

A point of observation on “Colin Powell getting duped by W on Iraq intel” - my read is the administration had the same general, recycled intel from America’s intel agencies (most notably CIA) - and although some dubious parts were emphasized, the overall assessments were pretty consistent from year to year. CIA was flat wrong (italics, boldface) in much of their assessments.

As I’ve asked in the past, can you imagine the reaction if, upon taking office, the Bush Administration had announced “we’ve had eight years of reports of Saddam employing, developing, destroying, reconstituting chemical and nerve agents. We’ve heard of his timetable for developing nukes. Personally, I think these reports, provided by our intelligencies, vetted by State, supported by the House and Senate Intelligence committees…

are flat wrong. Saddam poses no threat. I don’t think he has anything to hand off to al Qaeda. The likelihood of an attack on Americans, here or abroad, involving chemicals or nerve agents is less than zero. Therefore, I’m ending sanctions, cancelling the no-fly zone and will just leave Iraq alone.”

I think Dems would have been calling for his head.

Good issue raised about domestic issues. Ex Sen Boren (D-OK) this past week hosted a bipartisan, process-oriented group at Oklahoma U to discuss the lack of addressing the real domestic issues facing this country. Also attended by Sam Nunn ad a host of Rep and Dem luminaries. Hopefully it’ll spur some real discussion on such issues.

RW from Gwinnett The reason I told you to show Condoleeza some respect is because you claim to like her. I and some dems don’t show W any respect, because frankly some of us don’t like him. Respect should be genuine, not fake. And if you would vote for her should’nt you like and respect her. And as for what you think of me.

{{{{“These Negroes, they’re getting pretty uppity these days and that’s a problem for us since they’ve got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we’ve got to do something about this, we’ve got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don’t move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there’ll be no way of stopping them, we’ll lose the filibuster and there’ll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It’ll be Reconstruction all over again.”}}}}

When confronted with the claims of some of his more controversial supporters President Reagan used to say, “They endorsed me; I didn’t endorse them.”

In the case of Barry Obama and Dorothy Tillman, he has endorsed her and her unseemly reparations crusade for slavery.

Only Obama doesn’t want his national audience to know it. I seriously doubt that many of the tens of thousands of people who have succumbed to Obama’s pleas for “hope” realize he “hopes” to force them to pay tax dollars to provide some form of compensation to people who weren’t alive from people who weren’t alive, all for the evils of slavery. They have no idea who Dorothy Tillman is, or what she stands for, or the damage she continues to do to taxpayers in Chicago. All in the name of slavery.

And yet ignorant suckers keep on giving, not knowing who Obama is and what he wants to accomplish if he should end up in the Oval office.

Psst. Ready to pay reparations for slavery? Obama’s your man.

He just doesn’t want you to know. Yet.

He’s too busy working to reelect Dorothy Tillman in two weeks.

What purpose did that have in your comment other than to attempt to shift blame.

You’re mom raisedanidiot, why does it matter to you what race or gender the President is? Shouldn’t we be color blind and select the best person for the job?

Where are we in this country when half of the Republicans have Bush Derangement Syndrome?

I’m starting to think that Ron Paul has a good idea when he says we need to bring the troops home IF we then turn them on the liberals. By my calculations we are going to have to kill off nearly 1/3 to 1/2 of the American people to retain our “governing majority.” And besides isn’t a Clinton or Obama presidency more dangerous than Bin Laden? My reading of my fellow Nutters’ blog posts tells me that the domestic threat of Anti-American liberals being a majority in our democracy is the most dangerous threat we face. Let’s kill them all before its too late.

If what you’ve heard so far from my fellow wingers isn’t enough just think about the last liberal president we had:

While I don’t include myself in your salutation (others may disagree) the answers to your questions are rather simple. We armed the muhajideen to help defeat the Soviet Empire. Afghanistan was a costly drain on their economy. The Soviet Union imploded. Afghanistan was a contributing factor.

We armed Iraq in their 8-year war with Iran because a dominant Iran with a defeated Iraq was not in US national interests. Think not? Reconsider every time you touch your thermostat or get in your car. It was also in US interests to have both countries sapped by the conflict.

I believe there’s a second part to the answer. My impression is (no matter how abysmal the track record) media devotes resources to the candidates they deem most likely to be nominated. Edwards’ poll numbers, in their view, don’t indicate a strong likelihood.

But as NH demonstrates, the experts can be wildly wrong in their collective wisdom while the American voters go on their way -

Doing what most people in his position do: strike for the big bucks while he’s still an item of interest. He signed a book deal for a mil and a half last month. He’s also signed on to do some columns for Newsweek. Ought to be interesting - Newsweek also signed on Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos fame. I’m hoping they have a point counterpoint format and not just independent columns.

He’s also been spotted keeping company with Jessica Simpson after her split with Dallas quarterback Tony Romo. “The fans thought I was a jinx” said Jessica. “Karl’s not superstitious, he’s so cerebral.” Said Karl “Don’t you just love how she uses these big words? I’ve had a thing for blonds ever since I flamed for Plame.”

Calling people names is a bi-partisan way on this blog. Please do not pretend that libs are the only ones who do this. You are guilty of this on almost a daily basis or at least the days I’m here.

Just because you are irritated with the liberal’s answers does not give you the right to call people stupid or to assume they are not answering your question(s) - because they are. People are not stupid because they disagree with you, they are just simply disagreeing with you. Your assumption they are just plain stupid makes you quite boring to try and debate or even try and converse with.

Answer - See 4:00 (and 3:57)Arrgghhh

I can’t think of any reason you felt compelled to point out the Clinton staffers didn’t WRITE the emails, just FORWARDED them, other than to shift blame from the Clinton staffers to the writers.

{{{Is the reason you don’t “give a crap” about who wrote them because you agree that smearing and lies are good political tools?}}} No. I’m as sick of the silly political games as anyone. The only relevant fact in that case is damning emails went from Clinton staff computers to the world at large. Where they orginated is irrelevant. Clinton staffers, like the rest of us, have the ability to “delete” vs. “FWD”.

This garbage of dragging up what Obama said to his K teacher is turning everyone off from politics and is keeping good people from running for office for fear their irrelevant life history will be dragged through the public spotlight. Calling Bush a drunk is no better than the K teacher thing either. The man never denied he had an alcohol problem and he’s taken care of it.

I’d like to agree with my conservative friend that liberals are certainly as racist as the conservatives we just have a different ideas about what to do with those people.

And what’s this deal with Obama’s middle name “Hussein”. I mean that is just scary. You can’t have elected officials going around with names that are similar to our enemies. I mean we didn’t have any Joe’s holding office during Joseph Stalin’s reign in the USSR. Joe McCarthy wouldn’t have had it. I mean Joseph McCarthy being the anti-Communist that he was would have recognized the obvious logic in being sceptical about the allegiences of those people named Joseph, right.

I’m so glad that we wingers are here to use our amazing powers of logic and intellect to protect these great United States from harm from people with funny names.

We need leaders with good attractive names. For example, Sen. Larry Craig and I just love Dick Armey, don’t you? it just has a ceratin ring to it you know?

Do you find it interesting that the polls were pretty accurate in Iowa on both sides and the New Hamster polls were pretty close on the Republican side.

There’s a body of thought that says the really shows the closeted racial bigotry in the Democrat Party.

Let’s explore, shall we? When the pollsters asked the Democrat voters in Iowa and New Hampshire they said they would vote for Obama. (See how enlightened they are? Yippee!)

Now in Iowa they go to caucus with their neighbors and every voter knows how all the others voted. In Iowa they stayed with their answer to pollsters that they would vote for the black man.

However in New Hampshire they a secret ballot so after telling the pollster how enlightened they are they slip into the secret polling booth and vote for the white woman.

I’m not sure I buy that completely since pollsters generally suck and New Hampshire has some very bizarre voting laws that let anybody that promises to move there in the future vote, but I’m sure it was a factor. A thirteen point swing in one day between two candidates whose policies are nearly identical is a little hard to believe when the same pollsters got the Republican side right.

Got that so far? ‘Cause the important thing is that when Hillary wants to redirect our attention to the possiblility that her Senate colleague is a crypto-Muslim, as witness his middle name, that’s fair game and should be taken into account by New Hampshire primary voters.
