2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

> Pols make compromises, we don't have to.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Morbius = Rorschach

lol ron paul

Back off, kiddies, some news:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080402/ap_on_el_pr/obama_gore

yeah i figured he'd announce something to that effect. good news inasmuch as it's symbolically important & maybe gore might actually do some stuff if they let him.

i'm with the cockburn stuff to some degree before the "perceived injustice," which is a really fucking close/literal reading of one section of that speech that manages to whiff on all the rest. does he really think that obama doesn't believe that the white majority has executed injustices upon underclasses? is he really going to argue obama on that?

btw while yeah morbs is one-note in these threads it's totally urgent & key to get info on where folks get their money, possible hypocrisy, etc even if i do wanna have their babies.

HOOS, you, blount and eth can always go back to HS.

Hi dere President McCain.

lol balls has a nation sub

all three of those are the sites of hotly contested Dem primaries where clinton led, and where 50% of democrats have just come out of (or are about to enter) the primaries and won't exactly have rallied (yet) around the "other guy/girl".

Except for Florida.

The thing is that the OH and PA gap could be largely due to racism, and that's not going to go away.

Ladies & gentlemen, Jimmy Carter:

We are very interested in the primaries. Don’t forget that Obama won in my state of Georgia. My town which is home to 625 people is for Obama, my children and their spouses are pro- Obama. My grandchildren are also pro- Obama. As a Super Delegate, I would not disclose who I am rooting for but I leave you to make that guess.

lol drudge treating hillarys behind closed doors assertion that obama cant win as fact - i guess weve entered the g.e. section of our programing

(was this posted before?)

To me the Drudge headline is just saying that Hillary drawing a line and saying that these two are not going to be on a ticket together.

It isn't. Have you read the article that Drudge headline links to?

It's really simple: Hillary CAN'T quit.

Interesting, Stan. I had wondered about that. It says something for her audacity but not much for her judgment.

which "actual results" has the Saint achieved in the Senate? (not the ones he's "misspoken" about)

You know, this "saint" business is unfair to this thread - there is a lot of bizarre & irritating (and counterproductive) rhetoric online about Obama that merits the "you're trying to canonize a dude who's running for president" charge but this thread isn't guilty, nor are the Obama partisans on it. Not to kiss everybody's ass or nothin but the stuff ppl say about Obama on this thread sounds clear-headed to me - sure people support him and can even be said to believe in him but I don't hear much "He Is The Candidate Of Hope" stuff on ILE. (And thank God, 'cause that shit is a huge turnoff, though that's neither here nor there.)

OTM

I'm always a little wary of reducing a human being to a mere epither, anyway.

like "the chick" or "the black one"?

or "the anti-christ"?

Anyway Saint is McCain's nickname. Obama is the Messiah.

Thank you for clearing that up, President Keyes.

Results 1 - 10 of about 5,930 for "saint mccain". (0.30 seconds)

OMG ultimate mega-LOL

I stole that from the DMB thread on ILM but it does sort of show a fundamental understanding of America on the part of the Obama campaign that seems to be missing from the Clinton campaign.

Dave Matthews vs. Fleetwood Mac? I may have to change my vote.

lolhipsterelistist

between this and his bowling score my faith has been shaken.

THAT WAS ONLY 7 FRAMES GOD

he couldn't even finish his game? that doesn't bode well.

what kind of world has this become, where i can even crack a smile over a bunch of kids choosing DM fucking B over bill clinton?

one sweet world.

i think that's a DMB reference, if ben and jerry's is correct.

"Most of the blue-collar folks that knew they needed a president were for (Kennedy), and most of the university students who wanted a feeling for change were for McCarthy, and they thought he had a purer position on the Vietnam War."

guys this is kind of an interesting point

i suppose the key difference is that nixon was rolling into the tail end of a painful dem presidency whereas mccain is rolling into the tail end of a painful repub presidency?

i dunno. when you put wright and the flag pin and michelle o's comments all in a line , and then put that next to DECORATED WAR HERO JOHN MCCAIN, i think maybe a lot of middle americans might have o doubts?

maybe i'm getting em too. gah.

It's too early to predict whether a slowly disintegrating Iraq and the economy will influence voting patterns. Chances are the Silent Majority don't give a fuck about the declassified John Yoo memos.

hoos, that's like the third time this month i've seen you give mccain props, wtf

i dunno man he's just...one of my biggest criticisms of bushco has been that they're sending dudes off to fight in war, and they've spent their whole careers behind desks avoiding wars. mccain at least has been in conflict and would think a helluva lot harder about sending kids with guns somewhere.

Look there's no doubt that hoos's formulation will be the case for SOME Americans, even A LOT of Americans. The question is just how many.

He would think a lot harder and come up with the answer that "Regretfully, my friends, we must start sending our kids with guns somewhere."

xpost

yeah if every american has hoos' thought process (god forbid), we're fucked. i mean, no offense hoos.

though you're probably just playing devil's advocate

"Regretfully, my friends, we must lower taxes on capital gains and further gut the social safety net."
