Don't panic....Yet 'Obama has waged the waged the dirtiest campaign in American history. "That one" Ask Obama & McCain these questions tonight Ther're Back: Ayers,Wright, and Rezko The House needs to step up to the plate. Where are the leaders? Time out? It's about time Here we go again October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 August 08 September 08 October 08 John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to go to war with Iran. Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking. Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers? I don’t know. I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner. How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual. Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist have too much influence. I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do with it? I don’t know. This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

The retired Rev. Jeremiah Wright is not on the 08 Democratic ballot
Now that New Mexico Democratic Governor Bill Richardson has endorsed Barack Obama, it is now time for Democrats to accept Mr. Obama as the inevitable Democratic nominee. Hillary Clinton's cannot win the delegate or popular vote, so Bill Richardson's endorsement will likely sway most of the superdelegates to accept the winner of the popular and delegate vote. Remember he is a great negotiator. I am puzzled as to why the right wing did not use Rev. Jeremiah Wright's trip to The Rev Jeremiah Wright's YouTube clip is like a Christmas present in March, to the right wing. Note the Obama thread is only updated by right wingers trying to make a case that most black people are bigots(well it was that way, the last time I looked). They do seem to think they now have a license to post racist statements , that they been holding back for years. The thread will now be used for Obama bashing. Fox news is the biggest benefactor, Bill O'Reilly devoted a full hour to it,and I am sure Hannity and Colmes will top that. The disappointed Chris Wallace called into Fox and Friends to voice his displeasure over the two hour Obama bashing. In full disclosure, some of the left say that was a ploy to get Obama to go on Fox news Sunday(the Obama camp did acknowledge Wallace).Other networks have devoted time to this issue, but not with the passion of Fox. Barack Obama has legitimate issues like his association with real estate developer Mr. Rezko,but the right wing wants to concentrate only on the white voters, they desperately need to win this election. This issue will not go away and current polls show Obama's being hurt by this. Last week's Hillary Clinton and John McCain gaffes were ignored by the media because of this issue. If Hillary were to concede ,the Democratic Party could rally behind Barack Obama ;making this issue less important to the Democratic and independent voters.
Chris Matthews asked Obama supporters Republican Susan Eisenhower (Ike's great granddaughter) and conservative(former GOP) Lincoln Chaffe ,if the fact that Obama went to that church for 20 years changed their minds. They said absolutely not. 9 comments from 6 users

Wow, CG23sailor you went line by line, trying to completely discredit everything I wrote as either liberal or lefty. That's okay, because it's expected because I labeled everything right wing. 1. In the first statement, I was trying make a point that the un-American angle might have more relevance than the racial, because so far Barack Obama has not been running as a black candidate e.g. 2. The statements I was pointing out were made by a couple posters who have a reputation for making bigoted remarks, and they are making the well use of the time right now to exploit the race issue on this particular thread. To say all 8000 members of that particular church are bigots is just not true. That church is on the south side of 3. I think as long as we have race baiters like Rush Limbaugh, Bill OReilly, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Michael Savage to counter the Al Sharptons, Louis Farrakhan, and Jeremiah Wright; racism will always be kept in the spotlight. I speak from experience. I heard the parody of "Barack, the Magic Negro" to the tune Puff the Magic Dragon on the Rush Limbaugh show. Hannity gives the Black Panthers a venue. This goes on, day after day after day. I see two evils in this issue. You only seem to see one. 4. The McCain citizen issue was brought up by the Bush campaign in the year 2000. Democrats thought that was stupid back then, and the news media made very little of it this year. The New York Times had a great lobbyist storyline, but for some reason, they try to headline it as a sex story. That's really hard to prove, if both sides deny it. They suppressed the story In January ,when it would have mattered to Mitt Romney, but were forced to go with it when another news outlet was fixing to beat them to the punch. The New York Times endorsed John McCain. It's a known fact that John McCain is a media darling, and his press is usually favorable. 5. I'm sorry, but Fox news is the right arm of the RNC. That's the reason the Democrats do not debate on that network and the reason Barack will not go that network. You perceive a liberal bias, but you fail to see the Fox bias. 6. The GD statement may have some relevance, not denying that, but will it last.
A look at the canidates rallies will verify the demographics I have posted. posted by

THERE IS NO LIBERAL MEDIA. For Buddha sake--these are large corporations run by FAT CATS. Don't believe everything you have been indoctrinated with. Jeesh........ Just cause Rush and Hannity and Bill O'Liely tell you this tripe, don't make it so. Discriminated against? Not since my shoulder length hair fell out. posted by

Just a quick question before I get back to my BBQ pit. Has anyone on this blog been racially discriminated against?

Lets digest this liberal rant shall we. I am puzzled as to why the right wing did not use Rev. Jeremiah Wright's trip to No reason to be puzzled. back in 1984 the issue was Farrakhan. And yes there was a big stink about him going to Libya. Wright at that time was just some guy going along with him, Not as you pointed out, the pastor to a Presidential Candidate. This whole Paragraph doesn't mean a thing. Just a lefty trying to obscure the real trouble. That Rev. Wright is NOW (Not in 1984) a bigoted Pastor who preaches hate from the pulpit to a man who could be our Next President. Note the Obama thread is only updated by right wingers trying to make a case that most black people are bigots I think most there were making the point that Rev. Wright is a bigot. And by the fact of their following his word, most of those (including Obama) who go to that particular church are bigots. How is that the same as saying most black people are bigots? It's not. Unless every black person in America goes to that one church. Again the above statement is a twisted piece of work by the left to create further hate and miscontent based on race. They do seem to think they now have a license to post racist statements , that they been holding back for years. The thread will now be used for Obama bashing. Calling someone a racist (Wright) is not the same as making a racist statement. If it were, then you just made a racist statement by calling us racist. What Wright is doing is wrong. And because he is black, anyone who speaks out against him is labeled a racist. Why should his color excuse him and make allowances for him to do wrong and create further hate? Blacks can't be racist? Racism exists still today, I don't deny that. And maybe it will always exists in some small part of the population. But Todays America is NOT the same as 60's America. Racism is at it's lowest it's ever been. Sure there are the NeoNazi Skinheads and the KKK still around, but you also have Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, and Jerimiah Wright too. You got your Black Panthers too. They are still around. You got your Cripps and Bloods and all your gangs and Gangsta society. America as a whole has embraced the concept that Racism is WRONG. SO why when we point out the Don Imus's, the Dog Chapman's when they make racist comments thats good. but when we point out a black man's racist comments, it's we who are the racist? A bit of a hipocracy don't you think? Fox news is the biggest benefactor, Bill O'Reilly devoted a full hour to it,and I am sure Hannity and Colmes will top that. The disappointed Chris Wallace called into Fox and Friends to voice his displeasure over the two hour Obama bashing. In full disclosure, some of the left say that was a ploy to get Obama to go on Fox news Sunday(the Obama camp did acknowledge Wallace).Other networks have devoted time to this issue, but not with the passion of Fox. I'd like you to note that last sentence. Other networks are primarily Liberal controlled. of course they are downplaying the importance of it. They have also softselled every Clinton Scandal as well. When it comes to McCain... they cant find any dirt so they make stuff up. Like how he isn't a citizen so he can't be pres.(He was born a US Citizen to US Citizen Parents on a US Military base, in Panama) or how he had an affair with a lobbyist (totally unfounded based on unsubstatiated inuendos from a disgruntled ex-staffer) . FOX is the only network on TV where you can get fair and ballanced news. Yes Fox went after Spitzer as well. The Liberal Media has downplayed the humanitarian stories out of Iraq, the good that is happening, downplaying any success we have had. while giving a lot of airtime to idiots who want to bash our troops and destroy moral like Harry Reid, Jack Murtha, and Nancy Pelosi. I remember when the NY Times published a photo of an insurgent sniper WHILE HE WAS TAKING AIM ON ONE OF OUR SOLDIERS, and called him courageous. Thats your moveon.org drive-by liberal media for you. FOX tries to be balanced and makes an effort to show all sides, not just the conservative Republican side, but since they are the only network to show that side at all, they have to be unbalanced in their own reporting just to counterbalance all the other liberal gutter trash being pandered as news. Barack Obama has legitimate issues like his association with real estate developer Mr. Rezko True. But that is not the only issue. His belonging to a black seperatist extremist church headed by a pastor who is screaming GOD DAMN AMERICA from the pulpit and telling everyone that America deserved 9/11, is an issue as well. and your whole statement tries to imply that it is not a legitimate issue. It is Very legitimate. Rezko is a legit issue as well, but a far less important one. Again the Liberals try to turn you away from the true problem in order to avoid the bigger issue. but the right wing wants to concentrate only on the white voters, they desperately need to win this election. no one is concentrating on white voters. That is again the liberals trying to twist everything into a race issue. Using words like "desperately needing" is a cute trick. spin doctoring at its best. subtle. yet pathetic. Liberal Democrats take everyone and devide them up into groups by either race, gender, or ethnic group. They then play upon each groups fears and desires and make promises of bigger government to help and protect each group. Conservative think along more broader terms. rather than deviding everyone up into devise little groups, we just say we are all Americans. One people, One Nation, Under God. posted by

Guess what Mike. Rev Wright is not retired. He is STILL the active pastor for Trinity United. He was only on a sabatical so that he could join Obama on the campaign. Now that he cannot do that, he is back with the church.

Wright not on the ticket, HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Haven't the Rep been trying to tell the Progressive Libs that Bush is not running on the ticket? Doesn't make any difference to the Prog. Oh,.. that's right, it only matters if the Prog Libs think so. Or it is out of the mouth of the drooler Matthews or Keith Oralmann, the loosers of loosing PMSNBC.
This race is getting funnier by the minute watching the Progressive Liberals destroy themselves. ROFLMAO!! posted by

The DNC would not decide that ,as I made it clear the people will e.g. delegates and popular vote. Superdelagates will not override that or they will have millions of new voters stay home ;rather than be disenfranchised. Pennsylvania is a working class state ,and the voters will decide if that issue or loss of jobs ,the war,and health care is of more importance,,,,Guilt by association will not linger throughout the campaign...Obama supporters are not fragile. I have said that his poll numbers have dropped ,but so has McCain and Clintons...No one has gone unscathed wire to wire. Bill Richardson will bring the Hispanic vote Hillary had in Texas,New Mexico,California,Arizona,and Nevada. so ,some losses will be regained.....White voters are not the only ones voting in the general, so it will never be a matter of sheep. It will be as always Democrat v Republican...I love our chances. posted by
