WTH! Is that Chris Matthews with prescient commentary about the traditional views of Pennsylvanians?

Matthews is right by the way. There is a significant group of Pennsylvanians, and they’re not just in Pennsylvania, that really does place a greater weight on values and tradition ahead of economic prosperity. Certainly, they wouldn’t mind if they controlled more capital, but they won’t merely throw out their ideals in order to do it.

Why isn’t this talked about more often?

Don’t confuse the primary with the general election, and Hillary with McCain, or the Democrats with the Republicans.

JiangxiDad on April 15, 2008 at 7:12 PM

Right on, JiangxiDad. In fact, I think at this point Obama will be easier for McCain to beat in the general than Hillary would. I always thought so, especially since Hillary’s got all those nice clips of McCain saying what a wonderful president she would make, but it’s even more pronounced now. Let Operation Chaos continue, but I’d rather face the Dead Man Walking than the undead hockey-masked harridan from Camp Clinton.

That “20 point lead” came from a headline and post on this site. I noted that it was labeled “dubious” in the first instance but taken as the gospel truth in the second.

I wonder what they would have thought if he had said Black people hang on to Black Liberation Theology like the Black Panthers because they have less money. . . meaning there’s no real reason for black people to claim that white people are racist.

If Bittergate had so little effect when the story broke, what makes anyone think it’ll be useful 6 months from now?

Is this the same LA Times that called him a “magic negro”? They were right about that, obviously, but I don’t believe those polls at all.

By then it will be exposed for the second, and most significant part, plus so much more.

Interesting that the normally Obamasequious Chris Matthews seemed to rally behind the people of Pennsylvania. Hmmm, wonder if that’s any kind of tip off for his political aspirations. (Not too transparent, huh?)

If Chris Matt is finally starting to wonder who Obimbo really is, it may slow him down a bit, yet too many have already drank the cool-aid and are lock stepping with him straight to the White House.

It won’t be easy, you’ll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I’ve done (for you)

You won’t believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she’s dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn’t stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don’t cry for me America
The truth is I never left you, and never will,
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don’t keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
Oh, yes, no shame, no shame,
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time, my power!
I love you and hope you love me

Don’t cry for me America

Have I said too much?
There’s nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true
Vote for me, vote for me, America!

- – Hillary, with love

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

Speaking of the poor, Obama is now reportedly denying he’s an elitist by claiming that he was raised by a single mother on food stamps.

Interesting. I was under the impression that his mother remarried after Obama, Sr., ran off. I had also read that Obama Jr.’s mom sent him to live in Hawaii with her parents when Jr. was 10 years old, because she wanted him to attend better schools than were available in Indonesia. In Hawaii, Obama Jr. lived with his grandma (a bank VP) and grandpa, in a high-rise, and attended the most expensive private school on the island.

Do you really believe that Hillary ever has a 20-point lead to begin with?

As you can tell this is how the Obama media makes things appear, to go away…

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.

You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.

You cannot build character and courage by taking away men’s initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Delightful, especially that it was posted by someone who’s handle is Angry Dumbo, during Bittergate, in another HA thread.

New Obama ad: Hillary booed for bringing up Bittergate

Oh no! Someone dared to bring up something authentically bad about the Messiah! Attack! Attack!

But what do I know? I’m just a bitter, religion and gun-clutching bigot.
