Obama was always my second choice, but he's proving that it wasn't so distant a second as I first figured. Every one of Hill'Bill's smear tactics fuckin' backfired so badly that they ended up looking like Jeff Dunham's Ahmed the Dead Terrorist [premature detonation].

This could be the end of the Groundhog Day era.

Don't you dare tarnish me with the brush of JD and Cosmic without evidence!!! Find ONE post I have made where I intentionally posted NO LINK and then selected less than 1/2 of the stats to make a point!

Quote one post Teri!! I don't care who your buddies are---if you cannot substantiate your point then you should not be hurling accusations!!


Quote:
You prefer Obama - great. That's your purgative, but you don't have to grind anyone who disagrees with you into a fine pulp.
You can read better than this Teri!! I am supporting Edwards! REGARDLESS---Who I am supporting has nothing to do with what Cosmic posted! NO AMOUNT of attempts at diversion is going to change this!!!

Quote:
Jeezz. This is the kind of attitude that is dividing our party so bitterly RK. Cosmic and JD may defend and promote their preference, but I don't think they're viciously personally insulting people who disagree, just trying to have a discussion, a discussion that we SHOULD be able to have.
Don't be a total hypocrit!! Reread what you have written for the last 2 weeks and how others have responded to you ----then get back with me!!

Teri--- I realize that Cosmic and JD are your buddies --- that is fine!

What Cosmic just posted was a low down low life piece of shit attempt to promote a racist assertion that white america will not support a black man for president!

In order to make his point he had to resort to dishonesty!

He was sooooooo DESPARATE that he actually posted only one side of polls AND he did not post a link so that anyone could see the other side of the story!

That sort of sleezy scumbag behavior should be called out for exactly what it is in my opinion!

That you would defend such dishonesty, in the name of friendship or anything else, is OF COURSE your choice! I have a different way of seeing things. If you cannot take getting busted for lying---DON'T LIE!! If you cannot take having a low down dirty trick being called a LOW DOWN DIRTY TRICK---don't try to make a point that you can only back up with shit like this!

And---while you may feel that you should be considered stupid enough to think that posting only clinton's poll numbers of which none of them equaled a third --- much less a majority (AS YOUR BUDDIE COSMIC ASSERTED---(remember 'I am not being racist --- I am just posting the numbers') then that is on you!!

I think that anyone with any basic mathematical skills could be insulted that Cosmic believed they would fall for that! I think anyone with any basic analytical skills could be insulted that Cosmic thought they could not figure out that he posted only one candidates numbers! I think anyone with any respect for accuracy or fairness or decency could be insulted that no link was included so that objective review of the poll results could be given!

MOREOVER---I think that those who are not racist can and have appreciated that in an attempt to support a post that opened with a racist statement and presumption---this tactic was used!!

For you to even THINK to support such tactics as Cosmics is absurd!!! I quess we should all put you down in the "win at all costs---no low is too low" category from now on! That is sad!!!

I would have bet money that you had more integrity than that!

I've told her at least 5 times now I won't respond to her baiting.

But this time I had too, as she's called me out at least 3 times tonight.

I get along with everyone here except for this malcontent.
I'm NOT gonna sink to her level.
Well this sure is a bitter divide. I don't think I've ever seen our party quite so fractured. I'm no angel either accordng to some, but I thought things were going along fairly civil, and I was hoping it would stay that way. This thread is about the election, and we all should be able to have input.

He's absolutely got to get everything right.

I was also remembering what happened to our first Irish Catholic president. Being Irish Catholic, that's a deep and painful part of history for me. I just pray this country has grown. I know this is kind of a morbid thought, but Carolyn Kennedy's endorcement brought up a little twang of sorrow.
This should point out to everyone that this is not about politics and power. His life is on the line and he knows it. This is the kind of sacrafice for one's country , for change of one's country that a leader exhibits. I think Mandela, that responsibily falls on those that have made it to a position to create change. Join the Obama bandwagon, there is a lot of room for everyone!!

Caroline Kennedy has a piece coming out titled " A President like my Father" Wow.
Oh, she gave him an earful, no doubt. She has no control though.

What is she going to do? Cut him off? I can see Bill grinning now -- "Oh, please don't throw me in the briar patch!"
