Reply #88: Riigghhtt. YOU forgive us? It was Obama people who called Hillary vile sexist names [View All]

and insulted her supporters, refused to have any discussion of issues and the candidates' positions, turned every thread into a flame war.

You seem to be a bit confused. The primaries are not over and Hillary is still the better candidate and will win in Denver unless the delegates decide to pick Obama and lose in November. It's clear that's what that weasel Howard Dean wants but that's not what most Americans want.

Barack Obama will never get my vote because he:

- lacks sufficient experience, started running for the presidency after two years or less in the Senate

- has been a slacker in office; he never has convened the Foreign Affairs subcommittee he chairs though he claims to be concerned about Afghanistan, has voted "Present" to avoid taking a stand on some issues.

- voted "Present" a lot in the Illinois Senate, too, and all his "impressive record" in the Illinois Senate was put together in his last year, when Emil Jones took over Senate leadership when the Dems gained the majority. Obama went to Jones and asked him to be a king-maker, or more accurately, a Senator-maker. Jones then "persuaded" other senators to let Obama take credit for bills they'd been working on for years. Chicago politics.

- can't articulate his own positions without a teleprompter.

- has more baggage than Samsonite (Ayers, McClurkin, Meeks, Odinga, Rezko, Wright, etc.)

- lied about his relationships with those people of questionable character. DUers hated * for lying about Ken Lay, but the Obama supporters here don't care about all of Obama's lies. That's called hypocrisy, people.

- has never won against a real opponent. He's won by getting his opponents out of the race, one way or another, just as he's tried to do this year by declaring himself the nominee when he does not have enough delegates to win the nomination.

- might break McGovern's record if he's the nominee by not winning a single state.


If Howard Dean manages to get his revenge on the party by getting the convention to nominate Obama, I will write in Hillary Rodham Clinton for president. Many others will do the same, while other Clinton supporters will vote for the Green or for Nader or even for McCain.

A lot of us are re-registering as Independents or Greens to send a message to the party. Some are actually considering re-registering as Republicans because they are so angry at how the party "leadership" has behaved. BTW, if HRC chose Obama for VP, I'd write in somebody else. He's not ready for prime time, period.


Obama's recent snide remarks and disrespectful gestures toward Senator Clinton have only heightened our resolve not to vote for him. He really showed his ass and most of America saw it.
