The world according to Clinton and her supporters:


Politicians

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NYT = Incredibly biased channels for Obama

Democratic Nominating Process
DNC Rules (Not counting FL and MI votes) = Is undemocratic and should be broken
DNC Rules (SDs overturning the primary votes) = Is undemocratic but the rules MUST be followed
Small states = Don't count because they are fly over country (Exception: RI)
Caucus states = Undemocratic since they are inconvenient for voters (Exception: NV)
Southern states = Don't count since they have many black voters and a candidate is black (Exception: AR & TN)
Red States = Don't count because they WILL NOT be won in the GE (Exception: AZ, OK, & TN)
Blue States = MUST be won in the primary or else they WILL be lost in the GE *(See note)
*The following Blue states can be lost in the Primary WA, CT, DE, VT, ME, MN, HI, MD, WI

IWR = OK, because not reading the NIE and trusting the Bush Administration is reason enough
Don't ask don't tell (90's) = OK, because it is a necessary stepping stone
Don't ask don't tell (2008) = Not OK, because it tramples civil rights

NAFTA (2008) = Bad, because it takes jobs away from Americans

Voters
Democratic Party Activists = Latte Liberals, elitists
Independents = Insignificant subgroup of voters, not important in the GE
Republicans = conspirators who should be banned from Dem. Primaries
Republicans (Updated since Mar. 4th) = Inspired voters who should be allowed in Dem. Primaries
Young Voters = Pimpled face idiots who vote for president based on American Idol standards
Black Voters = Racists who will only vote based on skin color
College Educated Voters = Elitists who are misguided idealists
Reagan Democrats = Valuable, respected, and loyal democratic voters
Non-college Educated Voters = Real American's and realists not burdened by nonsense taught in college
White Older Uneducated Women Voters = The wisest of the voters, not biased, true democrats


If anyone has any suggestions please let me know... I plan on updating the list as time goes by. For example {as of June 3rd the nominee should be the candidate who has been married to a former president for a longer period of time}


Update: (Thanks for the suggested)

Sniper = 8 year old with a poem
The uninsured = Young and extremely healthy deadbeats with an abundance of disposable income. Need to be demonized and turned into criminals.

In his memoir, Obama writes of one of the watershed moments of his racial awareness -- time and again in remarkable detail. It is a story about a Life magazine article that influenced him. The report was about a black man who tried to bleach his skin white. When Obama was told no such article could be found in Life, he says "it might have been Ebony.

He is 9 years old, living in Indonesia, where he and his mother moved with her new husband, Lolo Soetoro, a few years earlier. One day while visiting his mother, who was working at the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta, Obama passed time by looking through several issues of Life magazine. He came across an article that he later would describe as feeling like an "ambush attack."

The article included photos of a black man who had destroyed his skin with powerful chemical lighteners that promised to make him white. Instead, the chemicals had peeled off much of his skin, leaving him sad and scarred, Obama recalled.

"I imagine other black children, then and now, undergoing similar moments of revelation," Obama wrote of the magazine photos in "Dreams."

Yet no such photo exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, "It might have been an Ebony or it might have been ... who knows what it was?" (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)

In fact, it is surprising, based on interviews with more than two dozen people who knew Obama during his nearly four years in Indonesia, that it would take a photograph in a magazine to make him conscious of the fact that some people might treat him differently in part because of the color of his skin.

Barack Obama in 2003, talking to the AFL/CIO:

“I happen to be a proponent of single-payer universal healthcare coverage. That’s what I’d like to see.”

In January, 2008, Obama claimed in a nationally televised debate:

"I never said that we should try to go ahead and get single-payer."

[Levgreee]

20. Difference between what is ideally wanted, and what is realistically achievable

Just because he said he'd want to see single-payer, doesn't mean he expects it to happen anytime soon, or is going to make it part of his platform.

24. There is no inconsistency there.

Maybe your comprehension is not good.

In Obama's famous DNC Convention speech, Obama says, "My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin-roof shack. His father -- my grandfather -- was a cook, a domestic servant to the British."

Kezia, Obama Sr.'s first wife tells a story that puts Obama's account to lie.


Kezia said: In 1955 Obama Sr. was 18 and working in an office in Nairobi, when he took Kezia from her family at the age of 16. Her father was furious.

"He did not like Obama. My father and brothers came to Nairobi to bring me back. They said I had to go back to school.

"When I wouldn't, they said they would never speak to me again.

"Barack was also worried about what his father would think because I was so young, but he gave us his approval. Obama's father (often described as poor) sent my mother and father 14 cows for my dowry.



Just how can a cook, a domestic servant to the British, provide a dowry of 14 cattle for Senior's first wife? Also, Obama's father had been working in a Nairobi office since the age 16, not herding goats.

Responding to questions about his intent to serve out the six year senate term, Obama says that he will not run for the presidency in four years.


"I think I've been very clear. Ah-ah-mumble-mumble, there's a presidential election in four years. I'm not running for president in four years."

Here is a backup story -- during a meeting with reporters at his Illinois campaign headquarters after his election to the U.S. Senate, he ridiculed as "a silly question" whether he would run for president or vice president before his term ends in 2011. "I’ve never worked in Washington," he said. "I can unequivocally say I will not be running for national office in four years, and my entire focus is making sure that I’m the best possible senator on behalf of the people of Illinois."

On July 28th, the day after his speech at the Democratic convention catapulted him into the national spotlight, Barack Obama told a group of reporters in Boston that the United States had an "absolute obligation" to remain in Iraq long enough to make it a success.

"The failure of the Iraqi state would be a disaster," he said at a lunch sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor, according to an audiotape of the session. "It would dishonor the 900-plus men and women who have already died. . . . It would be a betrayal of the promise that we made to the Iraqi people, and it would be hugely destabilizing from a national security perspective."


In late winter, 2008, on the campaign trail, Obama says he wants to bring the troops home yesterday -- you decide -- was he lying then or is he lying now?

On the January 22nd edition of "Meet the Press," Tim Russert and Obama had the following exchange:

Russert: "When we talked back in November of '04 after your election, I said, 'There's been enormous speculation about your political future. Will you serve your six-year term as United States senator from Illinois?'"

Obama: "I will serve out my full six-year term. You know, Tim, if you get asked enough, sooner or later you get weary and you start looking for new ways of saying things. But my thinking has not changed."

Russert: "So you will not run for president or vice president in 2008?"

Obama: "I will not."

As another example, consider Obama's stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, because they had been inspired by the fervor following the "Bloody Sunday" voting rights demonstration that was commemorated March 4. "There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama," he said, "because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don't tell me I don't have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don't tell me I'm not coming home to Selma, Alabama"

Obama was born in 1961, and the Selma march occurred four years later, in 1965. The New York Times reported that when the senator was asked about the discrepancy later that day, he clarified: "I meant the whole civil rights movement."

35. Do you really still want to grasp at those flimsy straws?

You really need to get a little more substance than these silly things.

Bottom line, you have chosen to trust a known liar, and that's your right.

The rest of us are looking at the bigger picture, so enjoy your little petty petty games, word twists, and incredulity.

Very adolescent of you!

Obama went on to tell his audience that the Kennedys -- Jack and Bobby -- decided to do an airlift. They would bring some young Africans over so that they could be educated and learn all about America. His grandfather heard that call and sent his son, Barack Obama, Sr., to America.

The problem with that scenario is that, having been born in August 1961, the future senator was not conceived until sometime in November 1960. So, if his African grandfather heard words that "sent a shout across oceans," inspiring him to send his goat-herder son to America, it was not Democrat Jack Kennedy he heard, or his brother Bobby, it was Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
