I have little else to say except that the party that I considered mine has shown itself to be mean and spiteful during this primary.....
The least the party could have done if indeed they had Obama tagged from the start was to give us full dislosure about him prior to the primaries being held.
Instead they waited while hammering Hillary and let one thing at a time come out such as Wright, Auchi, Rezko, Ayers and others plus I am sure there are more....

All of those things save Wright were out in the open before most states voted. I know you guys are pissed because it appears that HRC is done. Id be pissed if Obama hadnt gotten to where he is.

But at the end of the day you need to remember what made you a dem in the first place. Those values hold true to Obama. That is how it is.


Have you forgotten all the hideous connections dear Johnny Mac has? Obviously, because if you hadnt you would not be so damn worried about a few lousy six-degrees-of-separation antics.

Oh really? Rezko story has been out since before January. Ayers and Auchi have also been out as long.

So where is the lie?

You know as well as I do that most everyday people did not have a clue about any of that...
They listened to soothing speeches and crooning speeches about how he was different.....
Surrounded by his usual crowd that followed him from place to place drew even a bigger crowd and drew him attention....Fake all fake but it paid off because a lot of folk voted for him that have voter's remorse now...

They thought We the People would not ever get any of that data. They knew all about all of that. There was already reports about Wright by a reporter last August. But they thought that if they did not allow the media to let us know, we would go along with the program.

They threw us two bones: 1) for women and 2) for the black vote. Now, then they proceeded to act as if there was a fair fight.

Well, I read the book, The Case for Hillary Clinton, by Susan Estrich. In 2004, the Republicans knew that HRC was electable. The polls at the time gave them the data. But in her 2005 book, Estrich stated that Sen. Kerry was furious that some of the Democratic leaders were claiming openly that they would endorse HRC in 2008.

Sen. Kerry had been gathering his resources and fundraiser to re-run. He had mailing lists and a base. So, 2005, the C.I.A. invited Obama to the C.I.A. Diversity Celebration as the Speaker for Martin Luther King, Jr.

Well, well, well... then he is invited into the Circle of "I Hate the Clintons's Camp" and mentored on how to beat HRC.

In Estriches 2005 book, she asks a campaign manager who wanted to work for Clinton, how would you win it for her and how you would beat her. He basically states that to beat her, what you have to do is box her into this:

1) Make her sound old
2) Make her husband look old
3) Make her sound like she is old hat
4) Make her into a shrill, and all kinds of, B****
5) Make it nuetral so that a woman says all that
6) Then throw all of those old negatives out
7) Tell everyone that she is divisive
8) State our candidate is the next generation
9) Get a charming pol who can win Iowa
10 Make sure he can win the South

Well, at the beginning both John Edwards and Barack Obama fit those bills. They ran them side by side to make sure that one or the other could run her out of the race.

Read the book. Get it at the library.

further proof that in politics, much as in life, men really suck.
