As a gay man, I resent this Ex-gay shit and I won't be lectured to regarding this issue by someone who does NOT know what they are talking about.

They could very well be the same person for all I know.

15. I'm glad it bothers you
Maybe you will lie awake at night and think of gay and lesbian teenagers being tortured by sadistic monstrous people who abuse and misuse religion.

Then again, maybe you won't.

5. What Her Highness wants, Her Highness gets
The Clintons believe they are the Democratic Party, so if she needs Michigan and Florida's delegates to beat Obama in getting the nomination, the Party is expected to bow and say "Yes Highness!" and give in to her Royal demands.

6. What counts with Florida is the media announcing the win. Obama can't afford a huge loss there.
They delegates may or may not be seated...but the media coverage is what worries them right now.

47. An Obama victory in S. Carolina...
which counts, will be much more important than a Clinton victory in Florida, which does not.

Besides that, if we have learned anything in this political season it's that we can't necessarily believe the polls.

9. Looks like Hillary is desperate for something she can call a win.
Obama isn't campaigning in Florida. This is damage control because she knows she's going to lose South Carolina.

You have lost me there.

She's won the last two states.

Why would she be desperate???

35. Which last two states would that be? Michigan and Nevada?
Michigan, which doesn't count (and the whore media claimed she was the only one on the ballot)

Nevada, where she didn't actually win, because Obama got more delegates.

Not much to brag about in either case.

Edited on Mon Jan-21-08 06:56 PM by Radical Activist
but barely won by a few points only after using lies and dishonest mailings.

49. All year she was far ahead of Obama in NH and Nevada.
And yet he came out of both races with more delegates.

Who really "won"? :eyes:

16. I really don't know why any of us are fretting about Florida...
that poor excuse for a state hasn't had an honest election in years...certainly not in this century.

Doesn't matter what happens openly in that state, they still use the same machines with the same lack of rules and a corrupt state goverment and a turncoat Bill Nelson running around loose.

Florida does not know how to run an honest election...or refuses to.

to con their way into getting the delegates recognized in those states. (But only if Hillary "wins")
