It's hard toJun 7th, 2008 - 19:38:03

imagine these people endorsing each other after spending the last several months assassinating each others character, color and religion, and trying to rip each others throat out. Must be embarrassing to stand there a couple of days later and loudly sing their praises.

APOCALYPSE NOW !!Jun 7th, 2008 - 20:02:31

In typical American self-adulation fashion, you have repeatedly shown your contempt and disregard for other nationalities writing on this site.

Well, take it from me, we don`t really give a toss about you either and hope you like your world record debt of $10 Trillion, a deficit of $30,000 per citizen, or $1,5 Billion per day, or $1 million per minute.

So, yes my American friends - you really do have something to be big-headed about. The IMF is waiting for more begging overtures by the new President in November.

Politics in a 'democratic' country is the art of manipulating the population, targeting the lower classes where the mass votes are and with infinite expertise in disguising lies by wrapping them up in the kind of language the troglodytes want to hear, ensure that the people enslave themselves.

The Democratic Party have given you an obnoxious choice for Presidential candidate - an insult to a proud people. Nevertheless, you either vote for this black man or abstain or vote for McCain.

You can all cry your eyes out, but you either seal America`s fate as an economic and world power, by putting this apology Obama in the white House, or you put McCain in. THAT IS IT - TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.

No amount of wimping and whining in the M&C pages will do an iota of good.

McCAIN OR OBAMA !! It just HAS to be McCain, if you do not wish to return to the disaster of the 1920`s.

Obama and Hillary didn't dislike each other per se, it was just campaigning and politics - it's to the party's advantage to have them show a united front. Was Hillary supposed to now support grandpa McCain?

Holy crap! Did Hillary actually decide to go away??!? First, the Giants winning the Super Bowl, then record tornado outbreaks in Winter, then gas prices actually down for a week...now I've done seen everything. What else could happen next, a Category 5 hurricane making landfall in Boston??? But anyway, Hillary had a tough fight, but her race ending so soon? Maybe she will make it in 2012. I was going to cast a certain vote to McCain, but I'm not so certain now. Good luck on reuniting the Dems, Hillary.

it's a shame that the democrats could have won in november , but got derailed by the obama young people who do not understand the meaning of real hurt not having a job or home...the plain fact is if you are born in the u.s.a. and you are black then they call you african americans and that the way it is your are in fact an african, now we are trying to elect an arab american to be president of the u.s.a. he is not african american he is arabic american. the people should and better wake up before the arabs take over within with no fight. it not too late america. wake up and smell the roses... artie

SP4: They flushed her...good moveJun 8th, 2008 - 00:02:58

The dems said no to Hillary

No to corruption as a political tool

no to Bill

no to Bill's influence peddling disguised as a 'foundation'

no to the Clintonista apparatachicks

no to endless scandal

no to Dynastic entitlement in the party as a way to ascend.

Yes, the dems decided to give the party an enema and it washed her out to sea.

Obama, correctly, knows she would be a drag, that he would appear weak if he took her on, and that, every day she was there, she would undermine him, and if possible assasinate him and/or his career at the first chance.

He said no.

The dems did exactly the right thing in flushing her.

They got out a wooden stake, mallet opened the coffin and 'whack!'...no more bloodsuckers.

Obama did exactly the right thing flushing her.

This heartens my faith in America.

The Clinton era is o-v-e-r.

Damn, who knew they knew how to make a decent decision?

Right, the person earlier who said de ole Coconut was partly Arab, was wrong.

This guy is what the Americans call a REAL AMERICAN.

That is if you call the product of a black Kenyan father and a white Wichita, Kansas mother AMERICAN. He was born in Hawaii.

How the hell HUSSEIN comes into the picture is anybodies guess - looks like a MUSLIM connection to me.

Which is why he adores Osama Bin Laden, who happens to be the guy that gave New York a makeover by reducing the WTC to rubble, putting a big hole in the Pentagon and killing nearly 3,000 innocent Americans, plus maiming 8,000 others.

Well done Coconut - what good friends you keep. Should come in handy if you are EVER elected to be President - which of course you won`t be, defeated by a colossal majority.

Welcome political oblivion in November Chocolate Drop, PUFF - you`re GONE ! You can always join your mate Osama in the Afghan mountains. That practice with the turban will come in handy.

American people, you are not ready for a black or a woman president.

Obama is LIAR, can support terrorist, and will destroy America. He is manipulative.

Hillary is now an idiot who endorsed the person who has been going for her jugular.

VOTE McCain!

Don't let your country run by a muslim negro.

3 of the most dubious 'cretins' ever to run for the presidency. All these 'scummy' SENATURDS - 1) HILLARY with her plethora of lies and deceptopns 2) OBAMA the MARXIST who began his lies with erroneous/fabricated tales of his mother meeting his father at a march for MLK JR. in SELMA 3) McCAIN who took part in the swindles with 'the KEATING S & L SCANDAL' --- woe to the republic with any of these 'ASSHOLES'!!!

This is America...by now, even the dumbest foreigner knows one thing: we don't scare easily. This guy is a liberal, and I probably won't vote for him, but he's the lord of the Dance:

He's got moves.

He grabbed power quickly and got to the US Senate, one of the most powerful political positions in America. Senators enjoy a powerful incumbancy, have huge say in American legilation and when the opportunity arose, this young man moved fast.

Then, he saw a window to run for President and did not hesitate: He put together a first rate fund raising scheme, got his name out, played on his novelty as a black candidate in a party who just loves image, offering a fresh image, even if he's politically identical to his opponent. In essence, he learned what Bill Clinton taught in his run. Too bad his opponent didn't.

No, you got it wrong: This is no dummy. He learns fast and doesn't seem to make mistakes. The american primary system is designed to weed out the weak. They just got done weeding out the weakling, who had the best political machine in America. Underestimating this young man would be a mistake.

America once again can look forward to the same as before. No matter whose ass sits in the big chair behind the big desk in the whitehouse, the rich lobbyists and big business will get their way because the politicians always remember who they really need to be grateful towards for their support.

To change this, there needs to be a cap on campaign spending and all finances and business dealings of politicians and their families need to be scrutinised.

Excuse me for not joining the chorus of clown that have nothing elses to do but practise character assassination and spread paranoia instead of facts .I guess none of these fools is concerned with the real problems of the world ,like the oil price having doubled in a time span of one yzar .So I say vote for the guy who is willing to heavily tax the oil lobby,nationalize them if you catch them plotting against the american people and use the money where it is really needed .I guess that will not be the bank account of a few already wealthy tycoons .There is simply no excuse in the statement saying the price got up because demand did .That is leaving out of the equation one factor:profit .So I say:claim back what is your,the natural resources of the earth.And by the way urgently look for alternative fuel sources as fossil fuel is running out sooner or later .If you just sit on your bum and watch this evolution idly with nothing else to do but ventilating your idiotic theories regarding Obama you are just playing along the republican scenario:blame anybody for your misery,except the corporate tycoons stealing your money .That is exactly what has been happening with the real estate crisis,the lousy health care industry that made you the most expensive system in the world,the oil tycoons laughing at your expensive adding a few trillions of dollars to their fortune .

McCain already has the bigot vote. That's not going to change, nor is it an issue.

OK, I am British, yes I can already see your big-headed bombastic, self-opinionated and playground bully comments coming in by the dozen. I don`t give a shit, having been subjected to American over-inflated ego and eternal bragging many times. You are all just a bag of hot air. We just laugh at you.

Having said that, I have admired America all my life as a perfect example of freedom, power and world leadership, always being lead by respectable Presidents. Some clowns, some great.

YES, everybody knows that over the years you have been guilty of the biggest cock-ups in world history, both in foreign affairs and also those incredible military balls-ups - GEE ! they beat everything.

Still, I do not want to see a great nation descend into the Banana Republic category. The thought is horrendous. but it is your country, shit it up as much as you like, makes no real difference to the rest of us. Let the dollar keep on collapsing, who cares, their are other currencies just as good.

HOW ON EARTH YOU CAN DEPART FROM SANITY AND CONSIDER A WOMAN OR A NEGRO AS PRESIDENT IS BEYOND ANY DECENT, CIVILISED AND INTELLECTUAL IMAGINATION.

You must have some kind of mental virus prevalent in your society, could be the water, perhaps some investigation is called for. Could become an epidemic.

You are a world joke by even going through the motions of the past few months of Democratic Party fiasco, where Punch and Judy provide a public spectacle of total insanity. Something out of Disneyland or Barnum and Bailey.

FOR GOD`S SAKE AMERICA - WAKE UP ! GET RID OF THIS DISGUSTING NEGRO WHO MAKES A MOCKERY OF YOUR VERY HERITAGE. Why the hell do you shoot yourselves in the foot by choosing former slaves to be President !!!!!!

Forget Hollywood - THIS IS REAL LIFE. Yabba-Dabba-Doo as Mr.President is PURE FICTION !

Just vote a very traditional and credible John McCain in and bury this disgusting venture in sheer madness by trying to get a woman into the White House, or converting the damned place into a Chimpanzee`s tea party.

The Democratic Party have committed political suicide with their lunatic ideas from Never-Never land and hopefully will be a poor man`s debating society from now on.
