What Worries Democrats

John McCain is the one Republican who can go anywhere in the country and always be met with respect:
Later this spring, McCain will embark on a two-week tour of places where, his advisers say, few Republicans ever campaign, including Alabama's Black Belt, where African Americans in the state are concentrated; Appalachia; and New Orleans. Davis said the goal is to send a message that McCain is appealing for votes from all types of Americans in all regions.
As Dean Barnett agrued yesterday, the left's attempts to attack the Arizona senator blow up in their hands, because McCain is a fixed entity in the public's mind that will be near impossible to distort:
You don't have to parse a John McCain speech to figure out where he stands. Heck, you don't even have to listen to McCain's speeches to know where he stands. From campaign finance to immigration to the Bush tax cuts to the Iraq War, McCain has been a man of action rather than words. Such men develop records and reputations. They become known quantities.
Barnett contrasted this fixed quality with the shape-shifting of the likely Democratic nominee:
On the other end of the spectrum stands Barack Obama. Obama lacks a biography that tells you where he stands. He also has taken no defining or even noteworthy political action in his short time in public life.
And that's where the speeches come in. Obama's campaign is one purely of words. Verbiage matters for the Obama campaign, more than it has for any presidential campaign in memory. Verbiage matters for Obama in a way it couldn't possibly matter for McCain. The only way Obama can tell the country of his plans and of his basic nature is through speeches and other campaign set pieces. When Obama said "words matter" to rebut one of Hillary Clinton's attacks, he had it right. For his campaign, nothing matters more.
It's therefore understandable that Obama partisans would prefer the presidential race to hinge on the candidates' words and even on their words' provenance. That's Obama's home court. Obama is a remarkable speaker, and a gifted writer. McCain is neither.
But McCain is a man of action, one who has a 40 year history of being a man of action. And even in politics, actions speak louder than words.

This year, the issue is less about the respectability of the candidate than the ones doing the disrespectin.' We respect Shorty McSame. We just don't think his ideas are good for the country.
On the other side, it comes down to character assassination--as usual. Their era in power has been a massive failure: strategically, economically, fiscally, morally. All they HAVE is character assassination.
THAT's how THIS election is going down. See ya at the ballot box, friends.. |
|
Surrender(amnesty) is not the only option.
You simply CANNOT have national security if you will not defend your own borders or enforce your own laws. Foreign nationals numbering in the thousands are entering our country at will daily. John McCain has done and will do NOTHING to stop it. Don't believe me? Ask Juan Hernandez! |
|
Patriotic Liberal - Christian jihadi?
Your side had eight years of lying about our President, came up with two absolute joke candidates, who can't "unite", who can't tell the truth, who can't even run their own campaigns, and your side has good ideas?
What, the same ol' warmed over Marxism that has been an abject failure for 50 years? No thanks, pal.
Virginia Patriot -
Shouldn't you be down at the McDonald's, munching on an Egg McMuffin and complaining about those dam teenagers trampling your petunias?
No, those 100 ft. walls aren't going up across the Mexican border, nor are the machine gun nests nor the moats. Pitchfork Pat ain't running this year.
If you can't see that John McCain is far superior to the complete disasters the Democrats are running, then you are not a serious voter. |
|
Obama is a decent man and canidate. I am glad he is the choice as opposed to Hillary Clinton (who is a deceitful person). But I recognize that Barak Obama's goals are essentially not that much different than Jimmy Carter's.
McCain is being advised on the economy by Phil Gramm. His Supreme Court picks are going to be advised by Ted Olson. McCain is more commited to human rights than Obama (McCain has actually fought this fight when it was not in his short term political interest to do so--Obama has never had to fight an issue like that and prevail on it).
McCain is far from perfect, but he is hands down superior to the Democratic alternatives.
|
|
|
I realize that compared to Obama McCain is a better choice, but I still feel McCain is in it for McCain and not for promoting conserative values. I continue to wait for his veep choice. |
|
The church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses "the destruction of the white enemy."
Grab the link and circulate.
|
|
"that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses "the destruction of the white enemy."
I'm sure Obama just showed up to munch donuts and to help old ladies into their pew, he wasn't around when that particular book was handed out.
And so what anyway? Isn't that statement in the Democrats platform?
But another of his lunatic preacher buddies has it in for gays, now B. Hussein O. has some 'splainin' to do. |

And what are you doing, PL by calling McCain 'Gramps' or 'McSame?' Is THAT the character assasination you crow and moan about?
If McCain were a dimocrat, you'd be calling him 'seasoned' and 'traditional.' You really are a mendacious idiot. It would take you an hour and one half to digest "60 Minutes."
McCain is not the best conservative, but he will get my vote and, finally, my money. You call him McSame for supporting many of GWB's policies. That is a mark in McCain's favor.
Despite what you peurile p!mps in the party of Cindy Sheehan think, GWB remains popular where it counts...with guys like me.
Now, PL, go lick the guano from your cave floor and STFU.

Many of us see another amnesty as the end of the Republic, the stampede it will set off will be overwhelming. If we don't stop the inundation none of the rest matters. We'll be a banana republic before the jihadis can get us. There will never be another GOP president or Congressional majority. Importing voters for the socialists is as stupid as it gets.

You forgot to mention who is advising McCain on immigration: JUAN HERNANDEZ
When I heard McCain's Hispanic Outreach guy was none other than Smiling Juan Hernandez, I knew John McCain has heard nothing we have had to say.
Smiling Juan Hernadez
We know who he is, we know his loyalties are to Mexico, we know he wants to erase our borders and immigration laws.
JOHN MCCAIN, YOU NEED A NEW HEARING AID
Smiling Juan Hernandez
In case you don't know him, he used to work for the Mexican govt., lately he has been shilling for "rights" for illegal aliens in this country. He has said he wants Mexicans to remain Mexicans even if they are living here. His loyalties are to Mexico, not U.S.
Questions for illegal alien apologists like John McCain:
Why does The National Council of the Race (la raza in spanish) and the Chamber of Commerce get to negotiate a "Comprehensive Shafting of The American Citizens" behind closed doors? Since when does an organization representing foreign nationals breaking our laws get to rewrite our immigration laws to suit the lawbreakers? Isn't this akin to allowing NAMBLA to rewrite our laws regarding child predators? Or allowing organized crime syndicates to rewrite racketeering, gambling, prostitution, and extortion laws?
We The People are being told by our representatives that we should sit down and shut up while they invite in the entire world. We The People should get some say in this matter. Another amnesty will set off a stampede like we have never seen before. There is not much time to save our country. All the power and money are on the side of shoving this amnesty down our throats. The RNC wants an amnesty candidate, don't vote for one. |
|
You notice most libs like PL, have to insult other people to make a point. IE (gramps)
After these many years on this earth. One thing that I have seen over and over, when libs disagree with you, the child like insults are soon to follow.
Gezzz |

As we get closer to another GOP Presidential Victory, they will tantrum here and other places...long and loud. |

long and loud.

to their endless bleating, victimized keening and wailing after the November election. We'll hear years of it...Let's see, if it's Bazama that McCain whips, then we'll hear years of how racist we are...And, if Lady MacClinton, then it'll be how sexist we wuzzzz. I'm already LUVIN' IT!! |

Campaign of 2004:
A group of Navy Vets, who served in the Brown Water Navy, with John Kerry, during Kerry's truncated tour of duty in RVN, came forth to talk about what they saw, heard and knew of Kerry and the nice things Kerry testified to at 'Winter Soldier.'
Dimocrats objected to this, vociferously, angrily, shrilly. Yet they reserved NO approbation for Dan Rather/Mary Mapes' fabrications about GWB, proclaiming forged documents 'fake but true.'
As 2008 unfolds, and Jeremiah Wright gets lots of TV & Internet time, dimocrats will whine and moan. When babakazama's true, hardcore liberal political beliefs are given the light of day, dimocrats will moan again about unfairness, talk radio, racism.
They truly fear the electorate knowing the past and socio-political beliefs of babakazama.
Tut tut. |

FOOLISH to ASSume that Johnny's invulnerable in any way. The chink in his armour which is most obvious is his irascible TEMEPRAMENT. If they can manipulate it, they will. With plenty of fuel from the Pressies, their willing allies. Trust That.
A certain--controlled--amount of McCain's spikey flare ups might be Very Good, however! |
|

Is keep showing the pic of McCain hugging Bush and telling America, "If you enjoyed the last eight years, you'll love a McCain presidency," and they should win. |
|
Now that the money has lined up its candidates for both wings of the United Establishment Party, it is really fun to listen to the "Republican Uber Alles" pinheads arguing the tired "McCain is not perfect but their candidate would be the end of civilization". There is nothing left to discuss. You can't squeeze a stolen id in the gap that separates all three of these candidates. These discussions remind me of why Duncan Hines products always require that you "add an egg" to the mixture. It is so its customers feel like they are actually doing something. Now that DNC and RNC have arranged for the Democrats to select the nominees of both wings, you RINOs are engaging in nothing more than "adding and egg" to the mix. The game was over months ago.
The only way to fight a one-party system is to vote against it. Conservatives represent 30-33% of voters (Republicans less than 25%). Vote "other" by picking any independent candidate on your ballot. It won't matter who wins if they can only attract 43% or less of the vote. I know, brain disconnects as soon as anyone mentions third party or independent. It's a brain disease. |
|
"Is keep showing the pic of McCain hugging Bush and telling America, "If you enjoyed the last eight years, you'll love a McCain presidency," and they should win."
I guess if that's all that Democrats got (and god know that really is all), you'll have to run it.
Because you have two joke candidates. Complete jackasses, both of them. These two idiots should have been laughed out of the Senate on their first day and sent back to the clowns who voted for them in tears.
Only the Democrats with their media propaganda wing, could get away with running candidates this atrocious and have a chance to win.
|
|
McCain is far from perfect, but VASTLY preferable to babakazama or Hillary Rod'em.
It is this sort of thinking that begat Bill Clinton in 1992, by way of Ross Perot. Yes, that year there were more disaffected Republicans/Conservatives than there were dimocrats.
Don't take the bait! A vote for an independent is a vote for the dimocrat party and ALL that it stands for, whether overtly or covertly. |
|
McCain keeps saying "Secure the border first". We know that he means amnesty is next. The plan is to get the border state Gov's to declare the border secure. Conveniently, they are all on board the cheap labor express. Then his good friend Ted Kennedy will bring back McCain/Kennedy and McCain can provide his good friends across the aisle with their new permanent majority.
I will not vote for amnesty.
http://townhall.com/columnists/AmandaCarpenter/2008/03/28/b loggers_press_mccain_adviser_on_immigration
“John McCain’s position on immigration is very clear and this a question that gets asked at townhall appearances everyday in media appearances and has answered the question at least a thousand times before the New Hampshire primary,” Schmidt said.
He explained, “Any person who supports John McCain’s campaigns is a subscriber to John McCain’s views"
A vote for McCain is a vote for the surrender of your country.
|
|
"It is this sort of thinking that begat Bill Clinton in 1992, by way of Ross Perot."
Exactly. And Clinton got Reaganomics back on track, have you forgotten that he balanced the budget?
You RINOs are really dense if you haven't gotten the message yet so allow me to shout it at you - ahem -
I JUST DON'T CARE WHO OF THESE THREE DEMOCRATS GETS ELECTED!!!! I DON'T SEE A WHIT OF DIFFERENCE WORTH ARGUING OVER. GET IT?!?!?!
Now you can follow up with the tired harangues about feeling sorry for me etc..... You guys are such tools... and don't forget to add that egg to that Duncan Hines german chocolate cake... that's what makes you a chef. If the egg was already included in the mix and all you were asked to do was to add water, you wouldn't really be a chef. |

That's funny. McCain never got any respect on hughhewitt.com when Mitt was in the running.

And mccain still doesn't, but he's all we got to work with. I think most on this site, other then joe is so so about mccain. But I'd rather have mccain then Obama or Billary.
It's called the lesser of two evils. (you've heard of that, right?)
|

Super. Stay home. So what?
And if you're going to stay home and you don't care who wins, how about shutting your piehole about it in the process?
I for one am tired of the constant rerun whining messages, "boo hoo, I wet my diaper, John McCain's not "conservative" enough for me and here's why, blah, blah, blah."
Sit home and cry in your cornflakes or go carry a sign with the other socialists in the Obama campaign. I'm not pleading with you.
Immigration is not an issue that moves the needle. Most people don't give a whit about it. You can get all teary about the whole thing, but most people just don't care.

"Because you have two joke candidates. Complete jackasses, both of them. These two idiots should have been laughed out of the Senate on their first day and sent back to the clowns who voted for them in tears."
I would say the same about the President, and 70% of my countrymen would agree.
Regardless, I find it difficult to believe that the Democrats could possibly screw up things worse than 8 years of compassionate neo-con rule. |

We the People of the United States of America have the right to have our borders and our laws respected and enforced.
Citizens of other countries illegally in our country have no right to demand anything from our government. They most certainly have the right to petition the governments of their home countries for change if they are unhappy with their home country. If they want to be Americans, we have a path to citizenship, more generous than any other nation, and it starts in their home country.
We need to insist on the equal protection, application and enforcement of the law or devolve into anarchy. Our Republic only functions if everyone follows the same rules. We should not change the laws to accomodate those breaking them.
If America annouces to the world "We can't stop you, so come on in" with another amnesty, the deluge will be overwhelming. If 3,000 a day didn't get your attention, then wait until it's 10,000 a day. We cannot sustain this influx and survive as a nation. We must speak up and speak to each other about this and not let false claims of racism or bigotry be used to intimidate us into silent assent. America is not Congress' to give away. America belongs to We the People. Speak to your neighbors, speak to your coworkers, but please speak up to your Congressmen and Senators. It's O.K. for us to enforce our laws, no really, it is.
Someone please tell Sen. McCain.

No Donkey, S/A86,
Our pals Virginia Robot and Pasadena Phil don't think McCain is preferable to Obama (or Rodham).
They think that a President Obama dictating foreign policy and nominating radical Supreme Court justices is no big deal.
And support for Israel ?
Ha !
The fact that President Obama surrounds himself with a bunch of foaming-at-the-mouth Israel haters doesn't seem to bother them all that much. |
|
Obama's judgement of Wright is bunkum.
It's a fine, non-judgmental attitude for a psychotherapist. But Obama is not his pastor’s psychotherapist. Obama is a public official, and his personal feelings for this avuncular, jovial fellow should play no role in the professional exercise of his duties.
In other words, if Obama wants to lead the entire country, he has to distance himself big time from this jackass. If he can’t see how off the rails the Rev. Wright is,he has no business asking the American people for their votes.
|
|
|
When McCain decides to represent American citizens and not illegal aliens and their employers, I'll consider supporting him. You are dreaming if you think he would appoint Justices who would overturn McCain-Feingold or that his friend Teddy kennedy does not approve. |
|
Pasadena Phil cites the 'balancing' of the budget accomplished under Bill Clinton as vindication of the votes cast for Ross Perot.
Pasadena Phil forgets, utterly and totally, that the blance in the budget arrived courtesy of a GOP Congress.
Had Bill Clinton been able to keep a dimocrat congress, this country would be unrecognizable.
VP and PP are making perfect the enemy of fairly good. Knowing that McCain is a darn sight better than babkazama or Hillary Rod'em will have me voting for McCain. |
|
"They think that a President Obama dictating foreign policy and nominating radical Supreme Court justices is no big deal."
Not to mention, abandoning the troops in the field for purely cynical and anti-American electoral motives.
Sure glad they're on our team.
Oh wait, they're not.
When compared to paleo-cons, it's no wonder that illegal immigrants don't look so very bad. At least the illegals aren't plastering our message boards with "the earth will end on . . . " histrionics. |
|
Virginia Patriot,
So, because I want our President to fight Islamic Jihad, make good judicial nominations, and support Israel, you characterize me as "only hot manure."
Niiiice. But I'm glad we're getting you to finally reveal what you think of me for my positions on those issues.
:)
By the way, Ted Kennedy doesn't want John McCain to be President---he's supporting Obama.
|
|
I used the perjorative because you referred to me as Virginia Robot. You started down that road first.
I think fighting the jihadis is important as well, but leaving the back door open for them is just plain stupid. Not quite as stupid as importing voters for the socialists, but almost. When McCain gets a new hearing aid and really hears what the CITIZENS want, he may earn my vote. I'm not holding my breath.
I never said Teddy wanted McCain to be President, only that McCain won't appoint anyone Teddy dissaproves of. He won't fight for conservative judges, Gang of 14 ring any bells? |
|
You know I agree with you about mccain. The only things worse than him are - you guessed it - hillary and barry. mccain needs to understand that we want the borders closed. However, what do you think bho and hrc will do with them? Much worse!
I don't believe bho is a Christian. That is not the preaching of a Christian and he has attended for 20 years. They are hate mongers in the image of the jihad. They are setting back race relations for years and years to come and yet his supporters think he can bring everyone together. He is a smart, deceptive, man. At the beginning I liked what he said. Not any more.
Believe me, people who are given the welfare state will never vote against it.That is what he is going to hand them and I don't believe we can recover from it. Look at the big cities with their run down shacks and tell me that those people, who are bused in by the dems, will ever educate themselves and vote against their own interest. |
|
"Regardless, I find it difficult to believe that the Democrats could possibly screw up things worse than 8 years of compassionate neo-con rule."
Precisement. Here is (true) conservative Andrew Bacevich on the conservative case for Obama: http://www.amconmag.com/2008/2008_03_24/article.html
Now, at this point in time I cannot vote for Obama, but I'm sure not voting for Juan Mequeno. Thinking third party. However, if it appears close in Nov. . . . . |
|
Virginia Patriot,
Seriously, you have my permission to call me whatever names you like---it doesn't bother me.
:)
But by choosing to use the word "manure," you obviously sought to characterize my views as "manure."
On the other hand, you cut & paste the s-a-m-e "no amnesty" rants and put them in multiple posts on a daily basis.
Sorry, but that does define being 'robotic.'
Your assertion that it's important to fight jihadists, yet we should concede the Presidency to the jihadist-appeasing Obama is just plain silly.
But if you believe that Obama's judicial nominations would be better for the country than McCain's, you are entitled to hold that opinion---just like the rest of the Democrats do !
And hey, you could find yourself to be a popular guy with the Ron Paul supporters.
After all, they don't mind if we throw Israel under the bus---just like you.
In life, we rarely face a perfect choice, therefore, reasonable adults select the better choice.
Presidential elections are no exception.
McCain is more conservative than Obama on a variety of issues.
Therefore, I will be voting for McCain.
Obviously, you disagree. |
|
"True Conservative" like Andrew Sullivan?
There is no conservative or liberal case for Obama.
The guy is a completely unqualified, inexperienced, corrupt political neophyte who has chosen to surround himself with vile "preachers", anti-American advisors and a far left, whiney harpy of a wife.
I'm not interested in any case for Obama being President.
Truth is, the guy doesn't even remotely belong in the Senate. |
|
|
First, ole John on the Today show thinks that global warmin will be a priority in his admin. Silly but clever if he really wants all those votes in the NW and other enviro enclaves. Second, his foreign policy speech the other day was not as bad as I first thought. He did not rely on the EU or UN but called for a League of Democracies. In fact, his views did not give much favor to the internationalsts and socialist pacifists as so many posters thought. Third, his economic views are still being formed and hopefully by the Forbes, Kemps, and Gramms not Keynes. All in all, he is not a guy who I wanted but when compared to the alternatives, he looks at least Presidential, good on foreign relations and will at least veto the Dem tax hikes when Rangel gets his way. I now pray for a very strong VEEP choice to rally the troops in the real BASE of the Pub Party not the Rockefellers! |
|
No, true conservative like Andrew Bacevich. West Point graduate, decorated war hero, lost his son in Iraq about a year ago, and one of traditional conservatism's most learned and articulate thinkers. You and your guru Hugh wouldn't know true conservatism if it hit you in the face.
Do yourself a favor: dump your National Review and Townhall subscriptions, and pick up an issue of Chronicles or The American Conservative. |
|
If you run against Obama's platform and win, not only will I not complain, I'll denounce those that do.
But if you run against the "chocolate hero" and his "negress" wife, you'll deserve everything you get. |
|
|
That's all great on him, but I'm still not the least bit interested in any "conservative" case for B. O. Life's too short to waste my time. |

Hmm, I thought it was pretty noteworthy the way he stood up for Israel throughout the 2006 war with Hezbollah. And in light of what we now know about the anti-Israel sentiments in his church, it seems even more defining- this is a guy who can stand up against his base of support when it's the right thing to do.

You mean, in his inner circle of advisors.
Do you much about Robert Malley, Laborlawyer ?
Here's what Martin Peretz recently said;
"I have my qualms, as you may know, about Barack Obama, and most especially about what his foreign policy might be. If elected (and actually before he were to be elected), the first decision he would have to make would be who would represent him in the transition to power from early November to January 20. And, frankly, I get the shudders since he has indicated that, among others, they would be Zbigniew Bzrezinski (I don't know much about his son, listed as Mark, but I can guess), Anthony Lake, Susan Rice and Robert O. Malley."

|
|
I left out a word from my question to Laborlawyer.
I intended to ask him, "Do you know much about Robert Malley ?" |
|
Those racially derogatory terms were used unapologetically by two posters in another thread (S/A 86 was one of them) to refer to Obama and his wife. I asked other participants in the thread to denounce them; no one did.
Leading me to conclude that conservatives will not object if/when race hatred is stirred up to defeat Obama. |
|
Yes, I'm quite familiar with Malley and with the neocon attempts to smear him as "anti-Israel" stemming from his willingness to criticize Ehud Barak's handling of the Camp David negotiations (as well as Arafat). Though I do not entirely agree with Malley, I find nothing "anti-Israel" in any of his actions or writings.
Indeed, I find the notion that criticism of Israel makes one "anti-Israel" patronizing and offensive. We Jews have been arguing amongst ourselves (Malley is Jewish btw) virtually since the dawn of time; we thrive on dissent.
I find the attempts to silence Malley by calling him "anti-Israel" similar to attempts to silence American dissenters from this President's Iraq policy by calling us "pro-jihadist", or "surrender monkeys", or the like. Name-calling makes a poor substitute for reasoned discussion in my book. |
|
for his co-religionists, and another for those with whom he disagrees.
Allow me to remind the Belaboring Barrister that it was that shining political gem of the dimocrat party Ray Nagin who smiling described New Orleans as a 'Chocolate City.' So I am merely borrowing Mayor Nagin's humorous, inoffensive words.
And, as to the word 'negress,' as I have already said it is the coloquial feminization of 'negroe,' a perfeclly acceptable term in popoular parlance. Indeed, MLK referred to himself and his family as Negroes in correspondence with whites.
LL would actually like to short-stop and neutralize differing opinions. You will be hard pressed to finad him offering any objection or approbation to Jeremiah Wright's bigoted sermonizing, or babakazama's racist denigration of his granny as a 'typical white person.'
Now, LL, eat a bag of pig flop and STFU. |
|
"Name-calling makes a poor substitute for reasoned discussion in my book."
Wow. Are you on the wrong website. :) |
|
|
Do you mean to say that Malley is indistinguishable from an anti-semetic nutjob like Ali Baghdadi? |
|
With every post you dig your own hole deeper.
Anyone else on this site think Ray Nagin (a black racist in my opinion) is the shining example to follow? Or that in 2008 America, "negress" is not racially demeaning?
I wait in vain for the courageous conservative to tell Mr. 86 he's not welcome on your train. |
|
those anxious to take offense, under any pretense.
How about we denounce you as the vexatious political ambulance chaser you most certainly are?
Ray Nagin has many faults but I hardly think he is a bigot.
Now, by your standard, LL, denounce your candidate and his 'spiritual advisor' as bigots.
Go ahead...we are waiting.
One standard for those with whom you agree and another for those with whom you disagree.
Where's the equal protection, Barrister?
Time you heel and heal yourself. |
|
"Some animals are more equal than others."
Right LL? Some are MORE equal than others. That is the hammer-n-sickle you mendacious minstreals goose step under.
Have you no decency? |
|
I don't take offense at any pretext. I take offense at racists. I take offense at arrogantly ignorant boors. I take offense at those with no purpose but to give offense.
I take offense at you.
You sir are a bug on the windshield of life. Your misappropriation of Joseph Welch's call to decency is indeed ironic, you being the Joe McCarthyite who sees a communist behind every dissenter.
Jeremiah Wright said some godawful things, but at least he's got a reason for being warped by history's events. What's your excuse? You've been called out on your racist comments and all you can offer is excuses, evasions and attempts to turn it back on me. Sorry, it won't wash. You said what you said and exposed yourself for everyone to see. It isn't a pretty picture. |

There's no compelling reason to vote for McBush. He has nothing to say about the economy, he would continue the Iraq war indefinitely, he has no appeal for the Republican base (Rush Limbaugh chews him up and spits him out daily), no passion for leadership or for moving the country in the right, or even a different, direction. He's a stay-the-course candidate, when most Americans clearly do not want to stay the course. Vote for the recent past! Vote McBush! |
|
|
Hugh was ready to write McCain's obituary. His campaign was dead, out of money, he wasn't a "true conservative," yada, yada, yada. Wow, Hugh, you have really changed your tune! Now McCain's "the man." What a joke! |
|
the quick...is that all you have?
Bile, bitterness and junior college dogma masquerading as thought. Another simpering white liberal lashing out, calling others racist because he has NOTHING else.
Have a nice life, dipstick.

Now a few questions arise.
Does this undue the words of that bloated, retarded, overrated, moo-cow Toni Morrison when she proclaimed Bill Clinton 'first black president?"
I mean, will clinton have to relinquish that title? Will he have to surrender the bejeweled belt, like transfering the wrestling title?
Has Alice Walker just insinuated that Michelle Obaama is going to practice 'necklacing' of her husband's political rivals?
But, then again, I am so typical a white person, that I have hopelessly offended our aunt nancy, aka Laborious Litigator.

"Those racially derogatory terms were used unapologetically by two posters in another thread (S/A 86 was one of them) to refer to Obama and his wife. I asked other participants in the thread to denounce them; no one did.
Leading me to conclude that conservatives will not object if/when race hatred is stirred up to defeat Obama."
Whoa buddy, time for a reality check and I'm just the guy to do it. The racism I see is coming from the Dems, and I'm seeing it up close and personal..... I talked recently to our County Democrat Chairman about Obamas chances in the general election. Here's his take on it... "the organization I belong to is doing everything possible to make sure that "blank" never sits in the White House". When I asked how big the organization was he said... "it's a big enough percentage to make sure that "blank" does not win."
I then asked what they had in mind, and he basically said they were going to tell their people to vote for the old white guy. He also said that it was an easy sell because McCain seems more like a Democrat.
If what he says is true, southern Dems, and Dems that live outside of metropolitan areas will NOT be voting for Obama because he is black.
Seems to me that you need to clean up your own house before you point your finger at any of us.

I have no doubt that there are still some racist white Democrats in the South. It is of course a sad legacy of the Democratic Party that our southern wing for many years consisted of segregationist Dixiecrats.
After a long struggle, including the battle at the 1948 Convention when Strom Thurmond walked out, my party finally saw the light. When LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, he predicted that the Democrats were "signing away the South for 50 years". This proved prophetic, as the Republican "southern strategy" slowly but surely took over. It's why Reagan began his run for President talking code words like "states rights" in the graves of Goodman, Schwerner and Cheney in Philadephia, Missisippi.
So, while most of the old Dixiecrats became Republicans, guys like your buddy are a remnant of the past, but they do exist. It is just something we have to deal with. Anybody who would vote against a candidate based on race, well, I don't want them in my Party anyway.
Which brings us back to 86, your resident racist. Who amongst you has the guts to tell him where to get off? I'm still waiting. |

The stench keeps rising, 86. So deep and thick that soon you won't be able to see the nose on your own face.
To paraphrase a poet from my generation, you can't criticize what you don't understand.
How shocked you will be when the man and woman you degrade with your juvenile prose stride into the White House on January 20, 2009. How puzzled you will be at a "chocolate hero" and his "first negress" as President and First Lady. How far behind the times you will be left, scratching your head and cursing your fellow Americans for letting such a foul thing happen. |

NO standing, concerning race, this primary season has exposed you, your outed, your the party with the race problem, white feminists, who run your party, are in open warfare, with the black guy, it's their turn, they say, to the back of the bus, Hussein, and he currently is only receiving 30% of the white vote in your party, just in case you missed that, it means 7 in 10 white democrats are not voting for the black guy, you have a race problem, and either your to ignorant to see it, or that liberal fog you live in, blinds you, either way, clean up your own house, before you come around here and talk race, Farrakhan, Wright, Hussein, and the rest of the usual suspects, see through you, they ain't buyin' what your sellin', no more, your the "blue eyed devil", so get off that moral high horse of yours, we ain't buyin' it either, you used them for votes for 45 years, the ones that have succeeded, have done so with no help from the likes of you, the gigs up, your OUTED. GAME, SET, MATCH.....

in flames, you can lick my rosy Republican rear, Labour Lawyer.
That I have offended you actually pleases me greatly. If my words are all that it takes to offend a Labor Lawyer, you must be the weekest stuff ever admitted to the bar.
Now, be a good dimocrat, LL, and click the little "I AM OFFENDED" link any time it pleases you.
The guy whose name is on the top of this blog is a CONLAW Prof, and he is perectly capable of divining fraud from puffery.
BTW--you omitted to state that both the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act were voted for in greater numbers by the GOP than your cherished, dung-dipped dimocrats. Those laws were enacted to go after real racists, not the paper dragons that menace weak-suck, salon-bound, moderne white liberals.
Go ahead, LL, click the link. Tell the host what a HORRIBLE bigot I am. |

Now don't take this too personally, but you are one tiresome individual. And son, you are a bigot. But I still love you,
Your mother
(We're both Typical White People, son)

Read Tammy Bruce's book on the hustlers of "Racism...Sexism...and Homo-EeeeeekK-phobia.." entitled, aptly, "The New Thought Police". |
|
to ya, but I don't have a mother...my daddy used yours.
I am just waiting for LL to file suit here.
Just as pigs love mud & sh!t, lawyers love court. So I am sure that the babbling nitwit barrister will have causes of action to advance in the appropriate venue. |

Really?
I'm biased, I realize--but not because I object to what Obama's speeches imply (I do; and they ever imply rather than explicitly state--is this why he's called 'gifted'?). I'm biased because I've been exposed to truly, truly gifted speakers: Lincoln, Churchill, Reagan, come to mind.
Heck, Obama rises to the level of Nixon, perhaps--in terms of bathos (which, for Nixon in 1952, was a good thing; for everyone after, a bad thing).
Obama is not a great speaker. He's a great generalizer: speaking in terms just slippery enough to be interpreted favorably by the greatest number of people.
Kind of like Hitler.
Oh--I guess that's what makes him "great."
Sheesh. |

Laborlawyer, Malley is considered by many to be anti-Israel, just as his father was known to be a shill for Arafat.
Your contention that people are trying to "silence" Malley is just plain corny and inaccurate.
Perhaps you don't know the true extent of Malley's reputation.
Nonetheless, the fact that there are several other folks in Obama's foreign policy inner circle who are also considered to be anti-Israel is of concern to people who support Israel. |

"So, while most of the old Dixiecrats became Republicans, guys like your buddy are a remnant of the past, but they do exist."
Two points of contention...
First of all, the old dixiecrats never went republican.
Secondly, this guy is NOT my buddy! I just happen to get coffee and gas every morning at the same store where all the local Dems hang out. For over 18 years I have listened to their stories and never once told them what my political preferences are. They never asked.
FYI... I'm originally from NJ. I moved to SC over 20 years ago, then moved to NC where I reside now. I have found less racism living in the south than I ever experienced living up north. Up north folks will lie to you about being racist, down here they will tell you upfront. One last comment.... I have yet to meet any conservative that was a racist! |
|
you're just pissed at bad ol' S/A86 for outting you as a phony veteran.
BTW---I have been to South Africa. and compared to Zimbabwe it was a pretty nice place. Hell, it was better than Compton, Oakland, Detroit, Atalanta and New Orleans.
Just remember, anywhere in this nation where you find blacks in urban poverty, and inner city squalor, they are presided over by dimocrats.
How much longer, if Hillary Rod'em robs babakazama of the dimocrat nomination? How much loner will they suffer under the yoke of the liberal plantation? |

I too have lived in both North and South. I was born a Hoosier, grew up in Kentucky, lived in Texas, Missouri, Texas, and Louisiana and now find myself a misfit Hoosier again . . .
The racism in the North is tinged with a kind of fear that I never experienced in the South. In the North (Detroit, Boston, New York--to a lesser extent), I always felt that there was violence just on the other side of the next utterance.
In the South, never. Folks of different races have been living together for a hell of a long time in the South. Ever been to New Orleans? The lies following Katrina (and I know that more than a few bodies were found with bullet holes and quietly buried, following the hurricane, having spent ten years in Baton Rouge), were manifest. The most beautiful people on the planet are mulattoes: a product of the mixture of all the races in NO for over 400 years . . .
But my real point is that different races in the real South don't fear each other. This does not mean that racism there does not exist--only that it's long past murderous rage and has reached something like respect--even if there's a lot of work still to be done.
But the South is WAY ahead of the North in the U.S. in this respect.

No, that's it. I don't know why, but I'm accidentally re-posting my post several times and this makes me an idiot.
Please forgive me. |

sorry, Peak-a-Boo...
I don't qualify to be a Bull Connor. I am a Republican.
The real bigots are in your own sacred party; Robert Byrd, James Carville, Jesse Jackson....Hillary Clinton.
Just think....babakazama's magic carpet to camelot, sidetracked by "Her Thigness." Makes me all warm-n-fuzzy to think how the dimocrat Denver Death March is going to turn out.
Maybe I will visit Denver...take my protective mask, because I think black America may finally leave the liberal plantation.

"But the South is WAY ahead of the North in the U.S. in this respect."
I agree 100%.
It's about time that the Dems were shown to be what they really are, so this election cycle may end up having a redeaming value after all.
I know alot of Dems are racist bigots, however I don't know how it translates over to liberals. But I do know that very few Republicans are racist, and I have NEVER met a conservative that was racist. In fact, it's been my experience that conservatives welcome minorities with open arms. The only condition being... they understand that there are NO conditions. If you succeed or fail is totally up to you, just like anyone/everyone else.

The other day, someone was going on quite a bit about Willie Horton, arguing something about it being racist for GHWB to use Horton in a political ad. Youtube has the ad and I saw it. I was overseas during that political campaign, and voted absentee.
The ad in no way is racist.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Horton
But what is confusing is that Massachusetts voting records indicate that Horton was a dimocrat before he went to prison for murder and robbery. Is he still a dimocrat? After all, he was convicted of another murder after his furlough in 1986, as well as aggravating crimes.
Was he a Dukakis supporter? Is he voting for Hillary Rod'em or babakazama? He is imprisoned in Maryland now and I guess they won't aprole him to work for either the clinton campaign or the babakazama campaign. Very troubling. Has Willie Horton been disenfranchised? |

Conservatives are not racists primarily because real conservatives are about ideas, not people. Conservatives don't care for or about "identity" politics. They embrace the philosophical underpinnings of the message articulated by the Founders.
Ben Franklin wrote an open letter to "Europeans Who Would Remove Themselves from Europe to the Americas" (or somesuch). In it, he wrote to this effect (I paraphrase roughly): Do not come with letters from relatives, or royals, or members of the aristocracy telling us "who" you are or to whom you are related; come and tell us what you can do. For, in America, we do not care who you are, only what you can accomplish here.
Liberals tend to key upon who people are--where they are from and, today especially and more importantly, what the pedigree of their victim hood is--Barack's talk on race, for instance.

Ha ha. You can call Barack a "liar," in so many words; you can call Hillary "Her Thighness;" but if you call Gramps McShorty "Shorty McGramps," you have violated the sacred rules of civil dialog.
What a bunch of amoral, unprincipled hustlers. I only wish I had time to engage you punks right now. It's quarter-end and I have to do other things besides pulverizing your half-wit notions. |
