67. When in doubt, go sexist.
How very becoming. But you might want to question WHAT you are becoming.

22. Because it's true.
I didn't want to hear that Santa Claus didn't exist when I was a kid either.

Pouting about it and acting pompous won't help anyone. He still doesn't exist. She still won't be the democratic candidate.

38. That's it! I need to start my own post on this revelation!
There are no Risk (tm) players among the Hillary camp. Every one of them who talks about "letting the process play out" is unaware of the cardinal rule in Risk -- when you are in a 3-4 person game, never carry on the battle too long because it weakens you and your opponent so much that the person(s) not involved in the battle has easy pickings. Are we fine with Hillary if she stays in but keeps it positive? Sure. She has good ideas and good programs. I hope Obama adopts a few of them. But a divisive campaign where she and that husband of hers tries to move up by pushing others down is lose-lose.

68. So? Bush was once " the candidate."
Doesn't mean he should be. Doesn't mean he'll do a good job. Doesn't mean he won't betray every promise he's made.

He sure was fond of Wright till Wright disagreed with him.

Buh bye, Wright.

10. There are several situations occuring, which you obviously don't get
1. Wright is speaking on a lot of things that we as liberals embrace; however, those views are not embraced by the mainstream.

2. Wright's media blitz HURTS Obama. Wright's association with Obama HURTS Obama.

3. It is therefore OK for Obama to distance himself from Wright, and any realist would agree.

13. Well, since I haven't been defending Wright since he went on his
media spree, and since I criticized Wright for comments about Hillary and Bill even before that, I clearly don't feel that Obama did anything wrong. Wright threw Obama under the bus first. Obama responded. Good for him.

32. Did anyone catch the HRC Surrogate on Larry King Live who said he can't win because he is AA?
Why am I bringing this up in this post - because you HRC supporters are defending what was used as talking point by your candidates supporters and will be on CNN and MSNBC and Fox! Hillary and Bill are using the race card and now you are just trying to be so high and mighty about it!

Take a look at the transcript:

Here is the transcript:

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0804/28/lkl.01.html

FLAVIA COLGAN, "PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS" - Obama Supporter COLGAN: Look, the proof in the pudding is in the eating of it. And I certainly respect the viewpoints of the American voter. So far they have obviously chosen Barack Obama, in terms of delegates. And throughout the country, he's running a 50-state strategy. But I will respect whatever decision they make. I think that it's patronizing to the American public to think that we haven't made -- and this is whereI disagree with Reverend Wright -- that we haven't made enough progress as a nation that someone like Barack Obama will not become president simply because of the color of their skin. I do not believe that.

CAROLE SIMPSON, EMERSON COLLEGE - Clinton Surrogate: SIMPSON: Oh, you better believe it.

COLGAN: I'm sorry. You can have your opinion.

SIMPSON: You better believe it.

..........

Can you believe this kind of filthy tactics by Hillary campaign surrogates?

:wow:

We *LIKED* what Wright said to Bill Moyers and at the NAACP conference.... we are OUTRAGED by what Wright said at the Press Club yesterday.


And notice that Obama ONLY Mentioned what Wright said yesterday......


Friday and Sunday, what Wright said was fine.

Monday, what he said was outrageous.

Wright, for whatever reason, has turned on Obama and Hillary seized on it. Her supporter arranged for him to speak at the NPC. That story will break and will once again show her for the monster she is.
