Poll question: Poll: What would you rather have? 4 more years of Republican corruption or good times & peace?
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 09:31 PM by apocalypsehow
People, let's get real. Hillary Clinton won't stand an inkling of a chance vs McCain. I guess that's why the Corporate Media and so many Republican operatives are doing everything in their power to insure that Clinton wins the Democratic Primary.

If Clinton wins the nod, it'll be over as soon as the Right Wing runs its first TV commercial showing a crusty old war hero in one clip, followed by a brief clip showing an image of a non-existent dodge through "sniper fire." Then they'll have the voice come on in the commercial asking "Which type of person would you rather have as the Commander in Chief, the first person or the bald-faced liar?"

We all know that a clip like that is going to happen, and the minute it does, it'll be curtains for Clinton and we'll be suffering through another 4 years of a Bush-like tyranny. If that clip doesn't work, then all they'll have to do is play one or two hateful sound-bites of Clinton's close friend, spiritual adviser, and political-hack operative of untold years....the idiotic James Carville.

The choice is easy: We can nominate Hillary Clinton if we want another 4 years of Republican corruption or we can nominate the only person, Senator Barack Obama, who can put a whipping on John McCain in the General Election.

5. Look, there's no reason to put a poll like that here.
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 09:39 PM by jhuth
I support Obama but can't support this.

We Democrats will win no matter who the nominee is.

There's been a 3:1 turnout at the primaries & caucuses Dems vs.Republicans.

We will destroy McCain's campaign. He is a lifeless, unenthusiastic man who gives a worse speech than Bush does (and that's hard to do), not to mention his speeches are full of politically toxic talking points we've all heard over and over and over again. He's nothing new or different, and he couldn't make it more obvious.

I think his sudden turn to the "loyal bushies" election strategy and overly-specific ideology is completely fake, and it will show.

Deep down inside McCain hates the neo-con bastards almost as much as he hates liberals.

7. Obama cannot win in Nov.
The repukes will destroy him via qestioning his patriotism. The Wright stuff is more than enough, but they have Michelle's comments about pride of country and the pic/vid of Obama not placing his hand on his heart for the National Anthem.

Some will damn me for even bringing it up, but it is the political reality we face with an Obama nomination. Look at what they were able to do to war heroes Cleland and Kerry. It's not rocket science.

On to your poll. Really, dude. You're basically saying Hillary supporters want McCain to win. I have two words for you on that. Guess what they are.

30. Heh - I knew I was going to like you from the second you showed up in my humble thread.
Your subtle (and quite witty, I might add) little jab - "congrats on so many posts in a month or so" - is just what the Doctor ordered to bring a smile to this jaded face - thanks!

:yourock:

And also thanks again, for your much-appreciated *kickety-kick* for my poll!

31. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. Have you weighed in with the OP of the other thread yet?
Shared your aversion to such "CRAP" with him? Given your exquisite obsession with my humble imitation of his poll, I'm just curious...

26. I'd be embarrassed to start a poll this fucking lame.
Seriously, I wouldn't come around for say...six or seven weeks afterwards.

Try that and we'll let you know if it worked.

33. Consider the source of that one. Not a deep thinker in any sense of the word.
I've seen deeper thought in high school detention classes...

Don't ask me how I know about high school detention classes please... :)
