I HATE to see guys like Rangel out there spinning

[SoCalDem]

& saying things you KNOW he does not belive in his heart of hearts..

He's almost saying that she could be "president of the white people" and Obama president of the black people

:puke:

[JuniperLea]

1. Oh no he d'int!

Just when I thought we couldn't be any more divided!

:cry:

[SoCalDem]

3. said "she'd bring HER voters" and he'd have HIS voters

:puke:

[highplainsdem]

8. Yes, it's called a coalition. Ever hear of one? See them all the time in real world politics.

But maybe in the Obamiverse all of Hillary's millions of supporters are imaginary.

Rangel's a smart politician.

[Zodiak]

15. Considering that his last big legislative effort was to instate the draft

...which has the dual effect of failing miserably and painting the Democrats as pro-getting-people's-kids-killed, I would say that I disagree with your assessment of Rangel as a "smart politican".

10. Somone should tell him the sum of some things aren't necessarily equal to the sum of their parts

He ask the kobe-malone-payton-shaq lakers team

2. Charlie... Charlie! How far you have fallen from those days of the Pompadour

haircut and the mockery of that gaggle of journalists.

4. Where was this from?-nt

7. interviewed on CNN

5. Rangel is from New York and from the old school......

His point of reference is slightly skewed by power and politics, is all.

Rangel can rationalize anything in his mind, considering that Bill Clinton is a very close friend. His wife supports Obama, so that says a lot.

Rangel is a good guy, but certainly, he is not perfect. This just happens to be one topic on which he is totally wrong, and underestimates the power of Obama, not as a person of color, but as a person of a different generation, period.

Remember that older generations think that things don't change as much as they do. In that respect, he has a little bit of Wright in him, in thinking that difference of melanin matter as much as they did when he came up.

6. As a white person, I don't want her to be president of me.

Separate and totally bullshit.

[hfojvt]

9. Why is he doing it then?

How am I supposed to respect him if he throws his principles or his constituents under the bus for some sort of personal gain?

[highplainsdem]

11. He's talking about winning the GE, not personal gain.

And if you think most politicians aren't aware that a unity ticket would be most likely to win in November, then you forgot all the elections where the VP was the presidential nominee's opponent during the primaries.

[SoCalDem]

12. and in the process, losing the means necessary to make the changes

we HAVE to make.. still a loss in the long run..and very likely to turn off another generation:(

[my3boyz]

13. Go to hell Rangel! nt

[SoCalDem]

14. They think that WE think like politicians..

There are SOME things that cannot be "erased", by saying "sorry"..

ask any person who has heard that from a cheating spouse...

or a grown child who has heard that from an abusive parent..

or a judge, just before he/she pronounces sentence

or a cop who catches you going 90 in a 55 zone
