[Hepburn]

1. Done and kicked!

[azmouse]

2. Done

[DevonRex]

3. Kickin.

[LSparkle]

4. Exactly! Average folks don't give a damn about this -- it IS true

It's only the Clinton campaign and their mediawhore enablers that are
keeping this *non-issue* alive. The fact that polls like this are
PROVING this isn't important to people is making the suckola MSM push
it even harder ...

[nebula]

56. Hillary Clinton, worse than a used car salesman.

Looks like PA voters ain't buying what she and the media are selling.

[redqueen]

5. They're not watching Lou Dobbs!

You tell 'em, Lou! Tell 'em what's offensive and what's not!
:bounce:

[npincus]

6. Only the pundit class, political junkies, Hillary supporters & Rethugs give 2 shits about this story

[Fovea]

16. I don't know

I am a political junkie, and I thought it was a turd from the git go.

[npincus]

21. LOL

[panader0]

7. Looks like the only ones offended are bush's base.

Done and too too bad Hillary.

[McCamy Taylor]

8. Unfortunately, the poor do not go online, because they do not own guns or computers.

Ombama did not do his research. You are more likely to own guns the more money you make. Also Dems are less likely to own guns than Republicans. So a poor Democrat is very unlikely to own a gun.

Second, the poor Democrats whom he called racist, gun toting Bible thumpers---most of them are working minimum wage jobs and you will not see them reading Phil Inquirer on-line or doing polls.

[NOLALady]

12. Right.

"you will not see them reading Phil Inquirer on-line or doing polls"

They are also probably not paying much attention to this silliness over Obama's choice of words. Their main concern is making ends meet.

[Voice for Peace]

25. I don't think he was referring to just Democrats. He was referring to "voters."

See clip from interview with Charlie Rose.. really.. it is worth 3.09 minutes of your time.

[CitizenLeft]

39. thank you for that link!

That needs to be played on the pundit shows so they can stop the bullshit.

For cryin' out loud.

[Voice for Peace]

43. You're welcome.

They seem to like bullshit, or else they are STUPID? I think I've had my fill of disingenuous spin today, I'm starting to get nauseated.

[stillcool]

32. well shit....I'm sometimes poor...

and I go on-line! I love how people blanket the poor, the rich, the middle class, the white, the black, the latino, the gays..etc., etc. For Christ sakes we're all frigging people and we all have brains.

[Catherina]

42. You will not see them voting for Hillary either n/t

[cliffordu]

9. God I love this...K&R

[Hamlette]

[my3boyz]

[cbayer]

[meow mix]

[AllentownJake]

20. Well

If it was of Philadelphia, that's about what I expect the result of the race to be there.

If you supported Hillary before this he's worse than Hitler

If you supported Obama she's destroying the party

Little appears to have changed.

[DearAbby]

22. But but

the "Oh No's" Clinton Supporters are claiming this will end Obama's chances....:wtf:

[Voice for Peace]

[Bonaparte]

35. Philadelphia, as a big urban city, has a pro-Obama population

It is to be expected that Obama does good in an online poll from this paper.

[Barack_America]

36. Actually, Philly.com reaches many people from the suburbs as well...

Latte liberals, baby. But don't be so quick to look down your nose at us. Philadelphia and its suburbs are the only things keeping PA blue.

[AllentownJake]

40. Philadelphia

Is now dead to them lol

[quakerboy]

58. Really?

I thought that yall had flipped all but a couple PA county's to majority Dem registration?

[PM7nj]

37. Philadelphia doesn't count?

The Philadelphia Inquirer is the biggest paper in the state, and has a readership all over the area, not just the city.

[AtomicKitten]

38. Bitter flap goes poof.

[AZBlue]

41. Now it's NO 70.8%, YES 29.2%

[OneSelf]

44. We have 71%

Was Obama's "bitter" comment offensive?

Yes. 2033 (29.0%)
No. 4975 (71.0%)

[krkaufman]

45. Ah. An ONLINE poll.

meaningless.

[jackson_dem]

46. lol 31% is not a good thing. How many of those will not vote for him due to this?

Besides, online polls are notorious for being rigged by Obamites just like Paulites used to rig polls. If it shows 31% the real number is likely significantly higher...

[GarbagemanLB]

48. Did you post this concern when that AOL poll was posted favoring Clinton?

[jackson_dem]

53. About what? Snipergate?

[cliffordu]

49. Blah de blah de blah blah blah. We got it, on to the next, please.

Has there EVER been an Obama thread you haven't peed on??


How deep is your hatred??

[Perky]
