Amen! Similarly, if you show people are wrong after interpreting their statement as generously as possible, you’ve made a real point. If you simply refute what you want to hear them say, you haven’t made a point that anyone should listen to.

Wisdom. Well said.

I believe Hill would have done quite well
In days past
When dueling was still an option.

But I thought all the kids were voting for Obama for his muscular body–tight abs, nice ass and so forth. Wouldn’t he have the advantage?

We have to get that 26th Amendment (18 year old voting age) to the Constitution repealed. It’s even more important than Ann Coulter’s drive to repeal the 19th Amendment.

I refute what you say, just because…

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar…she was just talking about the votes, don’t read into it. That is one of the problems in this country, we spend more time “reading between the lines”, interpreting what was not said, then listening to the words. Savor the tea, and don’t read the tea leaves.

I hate your kind of posts

Me too and I do find the prospect of BO as president very scary. I live in MA and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been called a racist because I don’t go all gooey eyed over him. It’s just plain scary to hear people talk about race riots and blood in the streets if he is not elected. My dad was saying that people at his old folk club, he’s 75, are even taking about how it’s ashamed that we have to wait until next year and that Bush should just step aside and let BO take his rightful place because the people have spoken. It’s really scary to see the insane look in people’s eyes when they talk about him. He is truly a messiah for many people.

I hate your kind of posts…not because they are wrong, but because I am afraid they make sense.
The only hope is that enough people will see how truly weak he is as a person (and it is already showing), and the truth will prevail over “black guilt”.
BTW, just like affirmative action, if Obama wins he will be forever saddled with…”only because he was black”.

Er, Zimbabwe? Did Democratic leadership send armed thugs to beat Hillary voters?

Details, details…

She is a piece of work.

Among other things, if you know what I mean.

Obama has got his hands full, he will win, but he will be bloodied.

He has already won not only the nomination but also the presidency. I’ve read three articles already this morning framing the election as an exercise in racism. The election will show the world two groups of Americans. The wise, accepting and progressive people that did the no brainer and voted for BO and the vile racist who did not and that includes all those that sit out the election. There is one and only one reason not to vote for BO and that is race. Racism was even mention within these few comments. This next election is all about race and we will elect BO because personally we can not tolerate the thought that someone some where may think that we are racist.

I go back to my morning margarita now.

It does remimd me of Obama, though…I see him as being less hip and deep than hip-deep…

Can there now be any doubt about the Clinton’s?

“I think people across Florida and Michigan are thinking to themselves, ‘Well if the Democrats don’t want my vote, maybe John McCain and the Republicans do?’ We can’t let that happen,” she told the small crowd .

You go, Grrl!
