Another reason to vote Obama
Edited on Tue Mar-11-08 09:32 PM by texshelters
It's ugly when hatred of blacks or "coloreds" trumps sexism.

Republicans are afraid of him and would rather run against Clinton. Clinton is getting Republcian votes! It's because they are worried they will lose to Obama and want to race to continue as long as possible. At least that is what the blogs and Republicans on television are saying.

Exit Polls: Clinton draws Republican support
Posted: 08:53 PM ET
(CNN) — Are some of Mississippi's Republicans trying to cause mischief? Thirteen percent of the voters in today's Democratic primary identified themselves as Republican; they voted for Clinton, 78 percent to 22 percent. And 37 percent of the Democratic primary voters have a favorable opinion of John McCain; this group also went for Clinton, 62 percent to 37 percent.

Earlier this month, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh told listeners that since the Republican race was all but over, they should turn out for Clinton, because of his view that she would be a weaker fall opponent for presumptive GOP nominee John McCain — but there is no statistical evidence to indicate his instructions played any role in the Mississippi results.

2. The truth is warped
isn't it. Why is it a conspiracy when the truth is that Republicans would rather face Clinton?

If you don't like it, you slander the truth will names.

You can do better.

4. Try again
I didn't say that, and that wasn't my point.

I reposted to clarify. I think the Republicans will slam Clinton because they are sexist pig who had the Clintons and would relish another way to get at them.

I didn't say that they would be easier on Clinton. Did you see where the primary was today?

Mississippi. They have a history of not being kind to blacks, and it is the highest turnout for Clinton yet. You do the math.

5. They are not voting for Clinton cause they love her message,
unlike moderate repubs who cross and vote for O'bama. They are surely the neocon type, Limbaugh Lovers, who know the best opponent for McCain is Hillary. How anyone can not see this is unreal.
