I've said from the beginning I did not think the Democrats would give the Republicans the gift of a Hillary Clinton nominee. Seems I was right.
Quoting the article:' Saturday's Democratic caucuses brought new proof of the grassroots excitement generated by Obama, the self-described candidate of change who is seeking to become the first black US president in the November 4 election.'
Oh, so Senator Obama really can become our first BLACK president. That honor does NOT go to Bill Clinton! How about that!
I sure hope that we will be ok with a bLack leader.I watch Oprah and different ones on Tv and you can see how they really lean more to their race.The slave thing has been over for lots of years and yet it is continually brought up.This was way before our time why do we still have to be reminded about what has happened long before our time.We have all kind of stars that play sports and in show business that are treated like kings and queens yet we have slavery brought up all the time.This thing of States having to pay for them having slavery from years ago is plain crazy.
Go check out the Manifesto of the Church this guy belongs to...it's like the Christian version of the black muslims. Talk about turning the other cheek...
a pretty good job of checking out his church in Chicago.
all black with total devotion and dedication to the ''cradle of civilization' the continent of Africa. Also they lean heavily towards anti white. Obama attends this church regularly and has for some time. He and the church leader, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. , are very good friends; Obama claiming Dr. Wright has led him to salvation and shon him the way.
Just another reason I won't be voting for Obama. The man has no plan.
And we have heard from the idiot bigots!
to do with bigotry dumb-ass. Just the facts. By the way, you might try to research your material in earnest. Sometimes the truth is a little scary.
...the number of democrats who just don't want Hirray and her resume' in office. Heck it's almost...half...the number of republicans who don't either..(hahahahaha!)
The other bewildering thing is Obama's resume'...or lack of one...and the utter acceptance of this guy by the dems, without so much as a single detailed position other than the war, which only requires one sentence to articulate.
Now, you go ask your garden variety libnazi about Bush's resume' and he or she seems to think it is required to look like Thomas Jefferson's, without the slaves of course...but they'll roll in a heartbeat for this other guy, who has less experience than Bush.
Is it because he's black?
I don't think so. I think it's because he's not a woman...who is married to a guy named Bill. Then again, that may just be me...
The other thing that just bewilders me is how the Clintons failed to deal this guy out early, when they had the chance. Certainly they could have, but failed. Did they think he had no legs? Beats me.
This leads me to believe either Bush's guys were really THAT good, or that their competition was SO bad. I mean, his M.O. was defeating them all early in the game, but this Obama has survived, in the face of what I think might be the best campaigners in the US.
The only other explanaition is that the dems have a whole bunch who, really, really do not want Hirrary in office and are willing to back just about anyone to achieve that goal.
'And we have heard from the idiot bigots!'
Calling people names because you disagree with them is childish.
Branding those whom you disagree with as bigots isn't going to work anymore. We have a generation that has lots of different racial and ethnic backgrounds and no one is buying the old 'we just don't like him because he's black' broadbrush anymore.
Besides, he not THAT black!
No, this guy may not have to prove himself to the sycophantic dem sheep, but that does not mean he has the resume' or chops to sit in the big chair anymore than GWB. The difference is, guys like you will simply let him off the hook because he's a democrat.
THAT is the real bigotry at work here!
obviously has some very white genes. If he is elected, I don't believe he will allow race to cloud his judgement nor will race influence his decisions. Unlike George W. Bush, he hs a brain.
yep by golly he has white genes ,but then he is black when it suits the purpose.......
As usual the neocons are diverting the topics of your elections from what realy matters like health care to silly issues like the gender of race of your candidates.The result of such cheap tactics left you with George Bush , trillionjs of dollars deficit, appaling health care,bad education standards for most of your children,the growing gap between richest and poorest ,etc.Wouldn(t you rather focus on that kind of issues or do you think it is too trivial compared with the fruits of your poor understanding.
Let me guess,health care is no issue because ....you have the best in the world ?
To all, I can investivate just like you. Just because someone's religion has African ties that does not make them a 'black muslim'. Most Catholics I know are not necessarily Italian, and Most Mormans are not into plural marriage.
Bigotry comes from ignorance and when it comes to ignorance SP4 is the king. He has proved many times he is a bigot in his thinking, and others on this board who support his position sit there with him/her.
Anyone that would say 'not that black' is a bigot! You first have to come up with something that is acceptable in your tobacco chewing nascar redneck society and 'not that black' is better than calling him a 'half breed'.
So right back at you, you all need to do some investigating on his background and you will find the 'real american story', someone who grew up black and poor who has worked hard and is in a position that anyone with aspirations of power would like to be in. All he has to do is to beat the Clinton Machine, and he will clean John McKennedy's clock!
'Let me guess,health care is no issue because ....you have the best in the world ?'
YES, Finally you get it!
'To all, I can investivate[sic] just like you. Just because someone's religion has African ties that does not make them a 'black muslim'.[sic]'
Does being educated at an Indonesian madrassah?
'Bigotry comes from ignorance '
Sometimes it comes from seeing what you wish to see.
'Anyone that would say 'not that black' is a bigot!'
As is anyone who would vote for someone because of his race, even if that means putting someone in the oval office who is dangerously unqualified and inexperienced for the brief indulgence of demonstrating your supposed moral superiority over those who you consider bigoted Neanderthals. Kind of hypocritical and ironic when you think about it.
'do some investigating on his background and you will find the 'real american[sic] story','
'Via that Indonesian madrassah... :-D
'someone who grew up black and poor '
Well, no, his mothers side of the family had money.
' who has worked hard'
As a lawyer? Since when do lawyers (for slum lords no less) 'work hard'?
'All he has to do is to beat the Clinton Machine'
All he has to do is beat those super-delegates at the convention... :-D
'and he will clean John McKennedy's clock!'
Sure, what could this child have to worry about running against a man with 50 years of service to the USA? After all, you have seen what you want to see and determined that it would be fun to vote for someone because of their color. Please though, don't flatter yourself that it is a principled decision and don't add hypocrisy to the mix by laughably calling others bigots.
'Does being educated at an Indonesian madrassah?'
It may if it were true---liar.
'Sometimes it comes from seeing what you wish to see.'
Again, sometimes is comes from ignorance (look in a mirror).
'As is anyone who would vote for someone because of his race, even if that means putting someone in the oval office who is dangerously unqualified and inexperienced for the brief indulgence of demonstrating your supposed moral superiority over those who you consider bigoted Neanderthals. Kind of hypocritical and ironic when you think about it.'
Who said vote for him because he is black? As for unqualified and inexperienced, we have had that for the last 8 years!
'Via that Indonesian madrassah... :-D'
Again, liar. You should not listen to so much Fox news---even they apologized for reporting this lie!
'Well, no, his mothers side of the family had money.'
Your point? I guess when your father leaves the family and the mothers side has no money, that would qualify as poor????
'As a lawyer? Since when do lawyers (for slum lords no less) 'work hard'?'
Got to work hard to become a lawyer. Slum lord work is hard work, and what does that have to do with anything, some of your points are sounding pretty stupid for you!
All he has to do is beat those super-delegates at the convention... :-D'
Yes?
'Sure, what could this child have to worry about running against a man with 50 years of service to the USA? After all, you have seen what you want to see and determined that it would be fun to vote for someone because of their color. Please though, don't flatter yourself that it is a principled decision and don't add hypocrisy to the mix by laughably calling others bigots.'
Again, who said to vote for the guy because he is black??? 50 years of service??? His big claim to fame is being a POW, god grant him his dues for that, but he was 5th from the bottom from his of his class. No genius there, he is stubborn as a mule, and living in Arizona I have more than enough of his bullheaded inconsequential crap. He is a great man, but he is an old great man with old ideas and has been abused by the political machine and has taken it like a good boy.
Not only are you a bigot, you are an idiot.
'It may if it were true---liar.'
Yeah, lots of catholic schools in Jakarta.
'Again, sometimes is comes from ignorance (look in a mirror).'
OOOOh Witty retort! Did I strike a nerve calling you out on your mental masturbatory, feel-good soft bigotry?
Who said vote for him because he is black?
And his other qualifications are?
'Again, liar. You should not listen to so much Fox news-'
I have been to Indonesia, it is an Islamic country where islamic education is the norm. I do not believe that he is a Muslim, he has said he isn't. (He has acknowledged he is a member of Trinity United Church of Christ which is all but a black supremacist/separatist church. Shall I post their creed? The 'pastor' Obama's minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright just gave an award to Louis Farrakhan and unsurprisingly, Louis Farrakhan the nation of islam leader just gave Obama a glowing recommendation endorsement. Are you going to claim that Louis Farrakhan isn't a racist either?)
'I guess when your father leaves the family and the mothers side has no money, that would qualify as poor????'
Eeer... Yes... No money=poor, being a spoiled trust fund baby who likes to go out with guys to infuriate daddy would mean 'not poor'... I usually charge for this kind of economic illumination.
'Got to work hard to become a lawyer.'
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Slum lord work is hard work,'
LOL!
'and what does that have to do with anything, '
It means he is a hypocrite who will sell out blacks to make a buck.
'some of your points are sounding pretty stupid for you!'
Sorry, I didn't realize that you needed the obvious explained. I should have considering what you have posted.
'Again, who said to vote for the guy because he is black???'
Again, why would anyone vote for a freshmen senator with so little experience other then to make a 'statement'? Simply put, Obama is unqualified. Full stop. Maybe in a a couple of more terms he will have the experience and judgment to make a good president. As of now you and yours are like a bunch of simple children grabbing at the latest shiny toy the media is selling you. You are doing it because you love the idea of voting for the black guy... that is racism.
' 50 years of service??? '
Yes.
'His big claim to fame is being a POW, '
Well, if you would like to spin it that way, (that ignores the other 45 years) but that is one of the ways he was tested and he conducted himself as honorably as humanly possible.
', god grant him his dues for that, but he was 5th from the bottom from his of his class. '
At the US Naval Academy. What community college did you flunk out of?
'and living in Arizona'
LOL! Ill trade my New York senator for yours.
'He is a great man, '
No one has ever, especially grudgingly, had to say that about Obama. Simply put; he is the flavor of the month, a fad, the newest hula-hoop.
The position of president of the United States is too important to be filled by unqualified fads voted in for capricious, bigoted reasons.
What a bunch of lies ...Education in Indonesia is secular first of all,so os political ife overwhelmingly .I know ,because I've been there 30 times over a 15 year time period .Madreassah means school in arabic language,no more no less.In Indonesia school is called sekolah ,not madrassah .Madrassahs in Indonesia are like your Oral Robert's university,a barely disguised fundamentalist itstitution.Why not focus on political programs ?The use of smear tactics is an insult to the very nature of democracy .I just hope one day a new mentality will emerge in the USA,concentrating on politcal programs like education,health care,environment issues ,not just the usual character assasination .
If you realy had the best education in the world,the discussions would never been carried out in such a disgraceful manner .It shows ignorance,not understanding .
Meanwhile the electorale process is showing thje highest participation of young people ever in the USA ,I guess they are fed up by having their freedom and civil liberties eroded by the government and the evangelists .
Before you attack any religion in the world,solve your own mess,more than sixty percent of americans believe in creationism .So much for....the vest education in the world ...according to some that never looked anywhere else .
Tonny resents the USA, thinks we are uneducated fools, never fails to take to the message boards to cite how violent we are and post false claims about how many millions of people we have 'murdered' just to get oil.
And tonny wants you to vote for Obama. What does that tell you?
'Education in Indonesia is secular first of all,so os political ife overwhelmingly'
Overwhelmingly... Just ask the people of East Timor.
'I know ,because I've been there 30 times over a 15 year time period'
Get lost on your Hajj? I have been there as well tonny, it is a Muslim country.
'Madreassah means school in arabic language,no more no less.'
So it's settled then, Obama went to a madrassah.
'Madrassahs in Indonesia are like your Oral Robert's university,a barely disguised fundamentalist itstitution[sic].
Good thing we are not considering anyone who went to Oral Roberts university.
'Why not focus on political programs ?'
Sure, and experience as well.
' just hope one day a new mentality will emerge in the USA,concentrating on politcal programs like education,health care,environment issues'
What you hope for is socialism in the USA. We do not want it. Perhaps you need a nanny state to take care of you, I do not. I value my freedom and liberty too much to sign it over to some government bureaucracy in order top get some of what was rightfully mine to begin with back.
'If you realy had the best education in the world,the discussions would never been carried out in such a disgraceful manner .It shows ignorance,not understanding .'
So really, all we need to do is call you super-educated, super effective and super courageous europeans up and ask how we should vote. Actually, why bother having an election at all? Just call up the EU and ask them how we should be ruled. After all, that is what really educated clowns like yourself have chosen.
'Before you attack any religion in the world,solve your own mess,'
Why don't you do the same in terms of your own government, your own education and your own elections. Hypocrite.
'more than sixty percent of americans[sic] believe in creationism'
Yeah, according to your poorly xeroxed Trotskyite tract that you got handed on the street corner by your fellow unemployed adolescent euro-welfare case. Anyone who actually lives here knows that is complete nonsense.
