    One point in space means nothing.
    Two points in space can form a line.
    Three points in space forming a straight line is a pattern.

    Go away Hillary.

    Does anyone know why Lake Co, IN really took so long to start reporting last night? I doubt it was the 11,000 early votes. My guess is that the black mayor of Gary and maybe other black Lake Co. officials got their own back by making Clinton sweat the outcome and have to go out and give a victory speech while the race was still too close to call. Anyway, it provided me with a LMAO moment waiting for the results while watching John King play with his toy on CNN.

    last night, between the various pontificators, i was called various names, given various labels, various assumptions made about me, quite frankly, i'm sick and tired of the 'white working class' label -- first off, i'm white, i'm close to middle age, i'm a married woman, i do not have a college degree, i was raised in a southern state, and i do not have a blue-collar job and i make very good money.... yet, apparently according to every pundit and hillary advocate/campaign person tells me that i am HER base -- and I'm not -- I'm for Obama....so go suck it pontificators!

    I see the trend big-time, but it's just not Hillary. The news has been beating the drums that Hillary has the "blue collar vote", while Obama has the African American vote. Donna hit the nail on the head, Obama could not be in the lead across the board without whites in American contributing and voting.

    The media is at the forefront of polarizing the stats!

    Hillary is part of the NeoCon Alliance and a traitor. Take her away!

    Hey Busboy,
    Do us both a favor and don't try to instigate any type of communication between yourself and me.
    Thanks.

    I watched that exchange last night and it turned me off to all the evening's events. Normally, I would have been here, following all the latest and reveling in all the comments, but I was so disgusted I completely tuned out. Hillary and her buds are narcissitic shits who spew racist comments with a smile on their face.

    Queen Hillaria muses: "Why do my subject peoples so faithfully revere me, especially those members of the Nordic tribes in my vast wasteland empire? Those fair-skinned and wizened drones in the hives of my empire show me all the fealty and adoration I am owed. Still, I am vexed mightily: Why do the dusky-hued tribes cause me such trouble, always in revolt as they are, captive to the smooth-tongued and beardless youth, my upstart rival? Did not my faithless consort become an honorary member of their dark and musical tribe? What must I do to make these rebel hordes quake before my authority? Shall I be as a honey-tongued seductress, or unleash the fury of my imperious wrath as a cobra mother against the jungle attacker? I shall consult Hecate, Sorceress Foremother...'

    Anything to keep the fascists in power, even if it means ruining her reputation, stirring up racism and spending 10 million bucks of her own money to elect John McCain. I don't know what they have on Hillary, but I'm actually starting to think she's pathetic.

    Paul Begala, what an egghead a-hole. He represents the old, tired, divisive, DNC/Clinton-style thinking of the Democratic party. I wish he would go away.

    Since the 1930's the votes of black Americans have been overwhelmingly Democratic. There is no reason to doubt that that won't be true of 2008. Both campaigns realize that the Democratic candidate in November will have the majority of the African-American voters on their side.
    In many instances, however, the support of a sizeable group of white Democratic voters may be more problematic and it seems to me that that is what the Clinton spokespeople were referring to.
    There are Democratic voters who are white who find it difficult to vote for a presidential candidate who is black. These people are certainly not racists; they don't support racist acts or language, but they are simply finding it very hard to imagine (and vote for) a black man as President. In some cases, I suppose, it can simply be put down to the age of the voters; a last, unrealized bit of racism they acquired as children, without even realizing it, perhaps. I don't understand it, but I do know it is there. How widespread it is, I really don't know and hopefully many of these, otherwise, good Democrats will be able to overcome it.
    If there is any insult to African-American in the statements it is that the Clinton spokespeople seem to be taking the votes of African-Americans in the general election as a given. Not such a good political move, maybe; but not racist either.

    Trend? If it's a trend, it's been going on for a while. I think aliening black Democratic voters was a consious, planned, strategic decision the Clinton campaign made at the beginning of the campaign.

    I never pegged the Clintons to be this stupid and it still makes me wonder - what is going on? Is this all a ruse while they forge a back room deal with Obama and DNC leadership? It just doesn't make sense that the very politically savvy Clintons are self-destructing this way. Talk about exhibitionists.

    Donna Brazile strikes me as a mean bitch kitty who would do a Lorena Bobbit on you in a New York minute if you crossed her wires.... just sayin.......
  • blackwolf · 1 year ago
    Busboy: You need to get out of the "masta's" kitchen! What! She's a mean bitch because she put the pale-faced idiots of CNN in their place? Hillary is trying to divide the party as usual, and will go to any length.

    I say, "You go girl", with ya bad A*s.
  • Busboy · 1 year ago
    Yeah, stay away from me, tls; I have enough probs already...

    Hey, Petewa; Hangtown thinks that Hillary may go 3rd party. What were all those Richard Mellon Scaife meetings about?
