Why would anyone listen to Rove? Just asking...

Interesting responses from the GOPers. Bush along with a Republican Congress and some complicit Dems have just about destroyed this country and yet they don't see it.
Educating oneself independently requires more than a Coke and a bag of Cheetos being consumed while laying on the couch watching American Idol. Hell, some people won't even turn on the news and don't have a clue what's happening, period. I mean, who would you have a beer with was the ultimate qualification in 2000 for far too many people.
What's the real % of Americans who actually vote and known what the issues are? Most elections are something of a personality contest for too many people. People in third world countries are more politically astute than most Americans.
YET, ARE THEY ANGRY, OR IS RACIST AND SUBCONSCIOUS RACIST MENTALITY THE EXCUSE FOR NOT WANTING TO VOTE FOR OBAMA.
One of the great IRONIES IN POLITICS was pointed out by Barak Obama when he pointed out that the PENNSYLVANIA VOTERS ARE 'ANGRY' AT CONDITIONS.
However, THE MEDIA 'RATMOUTHS' AND SNAKES BEGAN TO ATTACK OBAMA BEFORE WE THE PUBLIC COULD PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE.
The fact is OBAMA IS 100 PERCENT RIGHT WHEN HE TALKS ABOUT 'ANGER,' but is this 'anger' or is it the same old jealousy and envy that manifests itself in racism.
Why then are those WHITE AMERICAN MALES IN THE FAR WEST WHOSE ANCESTORS HAVE BEEN IN THE US LONGER THAN THE 'RECENTLY ARRIVED' ETHNIC WHITES NOT ANGERED AND SUPPORT OBAMA?
Is it because the 'TRUE WHITES' who are mainly of old English background know exactly what Obama is talking about? Is it because they recognize the 'DIVIDE AND CONQUER' SCHEMES that led to the CIVIL WAR, when the PROPAGANDA MACHINE (as today's led by the likes of Roosh Limbugstein, Shorn Conman Conitty, O'really, Savarage, Horrors-wits, Squeal Borktzstein, Wawa Stinkrum, THE SLUDGE REPORT, and the cadre of neo-con facist propagandists ARE IN FACT PLAYING TRICKS AND TRYING TO DISCREDIT THOSE WHO WANT TO PUT AMERICA FIRST BY SAYING THAT WE MUST KEEP OUR BILLIONS AT HOME (NOT TO UNGRATEFUL NATION IN THE MIDDLE EAST WHO REFUSE TO LIVE AT PEACE WITH THEIR NEIGHBORS COSTING THE TAXPAYERS TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS).
The fact is, THERE IS MORE AT PLAY IN PENNSYLVANIA THAN 'ANGER' by some. There is the fact of a certain class of white folks (MAINLY DESCENDENTS OF RECENT PEOPLE FROM EUROPE - AS RECENT AS 100 YEARS or less) who have always turned their noses up at Blacks.
Why then would some of the repubs and clindemocrats think what one Pennsylvania official thought -- THAT WHITES IN PENNSYLVANIA WILL NOT VOTE FOR A BLACK CANDIDATE.
WHY?
ISN'T IT BECAUSE OF THEIR RACIST, ELITEIST AND BACKWARD MENTALITY?
WHO IS THE ELITEIST IF NOT THE RACE-MONGERING OFFICIALS?
WHO IS RACIST IF NOT VOTERS WHO ALREADY ADMIT THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR A BLACK CANDIDATE EVEN IF THEY MAY STARVE WHEN THEIR JOBS ARE THROWN TO CHINA BY THE CLINDEMOCRATS OR THEIR SONS SACRIFICED IN THE MIDDLE EAST BY KAINITES?
Here we have RACISM AMONG THAT GROUP OF 'NEW AMERICANS' (that is any of these 'ETHNIC WHITES' whose ancestors came to an America already built over the last 100 years) in the INDUSTRIAL NORTH who will prefer to starve and be driven to poverty EVEN IF THEY WILL VOTE FOR THE SAME PEOPLE WHO ARE SAID TO HAVE SUPPORTED NAFTA AND HAD THEIR MANUFACTURING JOBS SENT TO MEXICO, CHINA AND ELSEWHERE.
Racism among that group is so strong that THEY ADMIT THEY WILL NOT VOTE FOR OBAMA BECAUSE HE IS BLACK -- THEY WOULD RATHER STARVE AND BE DRIVEN TO POVERTY.
That is the issue. That is the problem and that is why MOST OF THE RACISM IN AMERICA TODAY COMES FROM NEWER 'ETHNIC WHITES' AND OTHERS WHO WANT TO PROVE THEY ARE 'AMERICAN' BY DISCRIMINATING AGAINST BLACKS.
And that is why, MOST AFRICAN-AMERICANS REFUSE TO CLASSIFY THESE RECENT NEW-COMERS AS 'WHITE' IN THE SAME WAY WE SEE ANGLO-SAXONS WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE US OVER THE PAST 400 YEARS.
INTERVIEW WITH THE 'FEMINIST CANDIDATE'

GREAT READING, REFERENCES, REVIEWS, ESSAYS

Russert can't ask intelligent questions anyway.
He just sits there with his stupid grin and lofts the softballs.

Unlike any of them, Obama has worked with laid-off steelworkers.
I trust his grasp of the issue.
JAYZ. Sunday Morning show just had a weepy Catholic mom about how her son served as altar boy or something for il popo.
I could only think "Did you have him examined for any unusually stretched-out parts?"
I'm bitter for your reasons, OAW, only no kids or grandkids to worry about. Voting for BHO because he may hold a shred of true patriotism the others lost a LOOOONG time ago.
I hope he does blow this issue up into a speech. He could turn it around on a dime.
OHC, a report I saw this am said 8 out of 10 catholics like Pope Ratzo's reign.
----
Have to say, as a former Catholic, most Catholics don't even know what the Pope does.
I agree, one speech could turn this back into why Hillary and McCain are "out of touch" with common hard working people. I used to be somewhat ambivalent about Hillary, but watching her twist his comment into something evil has made me positively hate the woman.

Sorry, this doesn't pass the smell test.
Many Southern Whites can trace their lineage back to the revolution, yet they're at least as racist as the ethic whites you talk about.
Americans don't ask a damn thing of their elected representatives, partially because of their own laziness but also because contacting and communicating with the Senator or Representative is almost impossible. They don't respond to phone messages, they don't respond to email, they don't respond to letters. They hope (know) that most people just give up and become bitter, yes bitter, and depressed because they just can't get a response. Yes they are lazy, but depression can rob you of motiviation and hope.
They knew how the "favor bank" worked...and it's never in YOUR favor.
I'm always amazed at how I can still be amazed at the incompentence and spin of the Corporate MSM.
Aaaauuurrrrgghhh!!!!

Don't know whether to laugh or cry at that one.
Must say, though: The laziest people I've ever worked with were always conservatives.
Not sure why that is.
I've also found that most working people eagerly agree that when you don't call it socialized medicine, most want a single payer system, along with various other "socialist" remedies for them. Most people take pride in the fact that they are able to provide for their families and are devastated when they can't. Sadly, though, too many have swallowed the myth of "getting rich" by following the lead of their oppressors, and too many still have racist ideas about crime and welfare since that is what the MSM pushes. Black street crime is followed for days, unlike white crime, the same crimes just having a different color. And no one makes the connection between a person's station in life, their educational level, outright discrimination in hiring, housing or any other area, even while whites may be engaged in the same activities as blacks.
Take the case of the "Barbie Bandits" in which the 2 blonde exotic dancer/bimbos, armed with a gun, robbed a bank in cahoots with their black boyfriends (one a teller, one waiting in the car). The black guys got active time of 8-10 years, while one bimbo got probation, and the other 8 months active. Tell me about justice in Georgia..."we're too white and beautiful to spend time in prison."
He pays his employees minimum wage with no benefits and thinks he is doing everyone a favor.
Just watching Carville and Matlin with Russert going after Obama. These two blood suckers are the worst of the worst. My hatred for this pair of opportunistic, out of touch has beens is beyond words. Carville pointed out than when Clinton was President he created tons of jobs in Pa. Hey asshole, that was Bill not Hillary and those jobs are long gone. Obama it appears is now apologizing, he should go on the attack and ask Hillary and McCain what they have done for the working poor in Pa. as well as across America. What programs have the institued, did they vote to support Child Healthcare, did they vote to provide better care for our Military, did they support changing NAFTA so it helps America instead of every other country. He should apologize for nothing, because by apologizing he acknowledges they are right and he was wrong in speaking the truth.
And then Halprin says something like, : With Obamb spending all that money in PA, why isn't he in first place?
( Let;s see,...there are 2 right wing people on the panel and one who is pro Clinton and the other is in the middle)
You can bet no one brought up that Obama 6 weeks ago was over 20 points behind in PA.
What a sham these morning talk shows.
I just caught a small part of Russert where hatchet face Mary Matlin tried to make the point that Obama is unelectable because he makes unfortunate word choices. She said something like "imagine him facing McCain in the Fall".. Bob Crumm retorted, "Please don't put him in the same class as someone who can't get Sunnie and Shite straight."
I call them the Punditry Politburo -- they practically have jobs for life, their only function is as ideological placesetters, never fired for being grossly, disastrously wrong over and over and exhibit about as much intelligence, independent thought and energy as their namesake group.

Daschle tried his best to do damage control for Obama, but Mayor Nutter seemed to have the upper hand.
You can hear some great quotes from their back and forth at:
