Super Tuesday Part Deux continued...

We've had so many comments on our earlier thread---we needed to start another one.

So, how many times did John McCain say "My friends?"

Hillary wins Ohio and is ahead in TX at this moment, but Obama is still ahead in delegates. Hillary spoke with great confidence and Obama is smacking down McCain's vision of America. The Dems have almost double the amount of votes in OH and TX---another huge turnout...

This is a humiliating embarassment for Obama and his supporters. Even with the media on his side, Hillary's obituary has been written for the last several weeks, he won Vermont which he deemed inconsequential, lost Ohio by double digits because people saw through his lies about NAFTA (not to mention lying about lying about it GO CANADA!) and it's still a dead heat in Texas when he and his media supporters swore he'd sweep it by high double digits....

We didn't say Obama would win Texas by double digits. He only went ahead of Clinton in the polls last week. He could still win by 1% if Houston has not yet been counted.

But let's be clear, the MSM has been flip-flopping on whose side they are on. Tonight, they were on Hillary's side, since a Clinton win in Ohio means seven more weeks of higher ratings and more debates on CNN and MSNBC. The gang at MSNBC is giddy that we have 7 more weeks of this.

she voted for NAFTA?
Really,
I didn't know she held a political office when NAFTA came up for a vote.
care to do a redux?

Ahhh, the informed electorate. Ain't it grand???

Ummmm, Mensa's....she voted to expand it to Peru...Google, Hillary + NAFTA + Peru

Uh...Obama supported it too but....Oopsss conveniently missed another impoprtant vote....Genius.

"Obama said he would vote for a Peruvian trade agreement next week, in response to a question from a man in Londonderry, NH who called NAFTA and CAFTA a disaster for American workers. He said he supported the trade agreement with Peru because it contained the labor and environmental standards sought by groups like the AFL-CIO, despite the voter’s protests to the contrary."

Or maybe it should apply to everyone, eh?

Let me restate this:
“The Hillary “3:00 am message by Hillary to American voters …..who would better handle an emergency call to the White House at 3am”

Probably she and Bill would end up fighting over it, or he would wonder about her being all dolled up at 3:00am waiting for a phone call.

Anyone that says my friend in every other breath is probably my enemy.

Alright, I don't care what anyone says, both Dems gave great speeches tonight.

And both Dems can beat McCain.

So revel in our good fortune.

He wasn't even on the ballot here in Texas.

Biden, Edwards and Richardson were though.

Don't forget, even the Republicans in TX elected a woman to the US Senate. Suppose that makes us more progressive than Connecticut, which only give the nation Leiberman and Dodd?

So, what's this I hear about Clinton officially endorsing Macain over Obama, already?

Anyone who votes for McCain because Hillary wins over Obama was never a democrat, progressive or even a liberal to begin with. Get over yourself.

I will repeat my earlier diatribe, with slight edits because they are a little over the top... And yes, I am a liberal progressive, regardless of your mindless denial.

Why I will vote for McCain if Hillary is the nominee:

Hillary win: The division in this country, and in the senate/congress continues to widen, nothing is accomplished because nothing positive can pass. More partisan politics. Democrats are mad when she amps up the rhetoric on Iran, probably even starting a war there, and there probably will be no end in sight of Iraq either. She did vote for it didn't she? Republicans get to say “See I told you so” in 2012 and there is a groundswell to vote Republican, and we get a new ronald reagan type to run this country conservative until 2020.

McCain win: The division in this country, and in the senate/congress continues to widen, nothing is accomplished because nothing positive can pass. More partisan politics. More of the same. Probably war with Iran, and no end in sight of Iraq. In 2012, there is such an amazing groundswell of the call for change, that we finally re-run Obama and he wins hands down, with a majority of D and R voters, President of the USA until 2020.

Obama win: You thought the Bill Clinton years looked good?

I think if you look beyond the "wool-over-your-eyes" partisan politicking and take a serious look at what our democracy is turning into, you'll realize that people need a wake-up call, not 4 more years of bickering.

Another Republican presidency would show all the divisive cheerleaders like yourself just what a serious situation our little hegemonic nation is in, and maybe people would take to the streets and scare the government into acting right again.

McCain and Hillary have identical Middle East policies. McCain could probably pander to corporate interests as well as Hillary despite her decades of "experience." McCain owes his political career to his spouse's cash and Hillary to her spouse's experience (which for some reason she is allowed to appropriate). What's the difference?

Dennis Kucinich would have been the best canidate as opposed to these two bought and sold cohorts. He had guts to say things like no NAFTA, NCLB, a single payer system for Healthcare, instead of just "tweaking them all a bit." so show him some darn respect. Anyways go Dems!

P.S. Media wants Obama to win?
Maybe Hillary is the best bet for that very reason.
Now piss off idiots. :)

Xoites? Remember that test a few weeks back that told you which candidate was your perfect match. Kucinich was mine. Go figure. But until our country (the squishy middle) is ready for real change, we'll have to have folks who can work the system. The whole friggin' system needs a revamp, but I guess things aren't bad enough yet (excuse me, I need another swig of Syrah) Obama is a sweetheart, he's got good intentions, but the system will eat him alive. At least Hilliary has experience with the right wing smear machine, she knows what to expect. She'll at least get the Supreme Court back on track. Shit, that's all I can hope for now. Goodnight all.

The REASON I would vote for a McCain presidency, I should clarify - is not in support of any of HIS policies. I simply believe a Hillary win would be an empty victory, nothing of substance would get done during her presidency, and by 2012 people would be clamoring for another Republican president.

I think this country needs to "hit bottom", to use Alcoholics Anonymous jargon; another 4 years of Republican raping and pillaging would really open people's eyes, and they wouldn't have Hillary to blame when the bottom drops out of the economy.

Always be skeptical, these people are your enemies. I drink no one's kool-aid.

The Democrats could fuck up a free lunch.

well, since we're only 19% of the country's electorate, you can do that math to see what he might get of the national vote. there's not enough data to say he'd get 100% of that 19. perhaps you understand that.

meanwhile, among those who did not care about race or sex, they split evenly.

Vermont towns vote to arrest Bush and Cheney
http://www.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idUSN0454699420080305

"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Voters in two Vermont towns on Tuesday approved a measure that would instruct police to arrest President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney for "crimes against our Constitution," local media reported.

The nonbinding, symbolic measure, passed in Brattleboro and Marlboro in a state known for taking liberal positions on national issues, instructs town police to "extradite them to other authorities that may reasonably contend to prosecute them."

You seem to apply them at every opportunity, so let me tell you this - No political party perfectly aligns with my views, and if you were better informed about the issues I doubt you would be so quick to parade around under the Democrat banner.

Both sides are flawed, there is too much money involved for either party to be ethically perfect, and if you're taking corporate money your decisions are influenced. Period.

Now please go read something, instead of just spouting partisan vitriol and adding absolutely nothing to the board.

usafail, I actually appreciate you pointing out your political affiliation and reminding us all how easily we tend to catagorize one another. Even though you still wouldn't qualify as a democrat, liberal or progressive by this sites definiton if you voted for McCain were he up against Hillary.

The REASON I would vote for a McCain presidency, I should clarify - is not in support of any of HIS policies. I simply believe a Hillary win would be an empty victory, nothing of substance would get done during her presidency, and by 2012 people would be clamoring for another Republican president.

I think this country needs to "hit bottom", to use Alcoholics Anonymous jargon; another 4 years of Republican raping and pillaging would really open people's eyes, and they wouldn't have Hillary to blame when the bottom drops out of the economy.

Always be skeptical, these people are your enemies. I drink no one's kool-aid.

Ahhh, now I get it: you're a vengeful and ignorant sociopath democrat who didn't get what he feels he's entitled to so he'd rather fuck it up for everyone else than allow the country to progress.

Thank you so much for the clarification. You do drink someone's kool-aid: your own.

How in the world is Obama SOOOO different then Clinton? Can you name more than 5 differences in their policies? I doubt it.

He's going to end partisanship? Really? Have you met today's Republican party? It takes two to tango and The Republican's don't want to dance.

I'm a Hillary supporter, it's true. But I'll support Obama if he wins the nomination. I'm not fooling myself into believing that Hillary is 1000 times better than Barack. In the areas that i find important, the environment and health care Hillary is MORE progressive thus i like her better.

But please stop with the idiot notion that Obama is some kind of perfect savior and that Hillary is some kind of satan. Neither is true.

DJ&Chip @ 388:

well, since we're only 19% of the country's electorate, you can do that math to see what he might get of the national vote. there's not enough data to say he'd get 100% of that 19. perhaps you understand that.

meanwhile, among those who did not care about race or sex, they split evenly.

are you so caught up in the feeling that all black people only vote for black candidates?

that would be invalid.

Splendid @ 382:

DJ&Chip @ 380:

20% also voted for Hillary only because she is a woman, fyi.

Ahhh, so when he was winning did you point out the percentage of which he was winning due to him being black?

Post please.

Again, typical race-placating liberal rhetoric. Just like Obama, use the race card at will but chide your opponents for doing what you claim is the same. Under estimate when convenient, over estimate when equally convenient.

Insipid, thanks for the voice of minority dissent.

Compare Obamas words tonight with Clinton’s words. With Hillary it’s about her. With Barack, it’s about us. Case closed.

I completely agree.

Of course...That's his schtick. "Us". Yeah, right. Its all about "us". Well, at least he's sticking to the script.

What's going on w/Kucinich?

Exactly! Because it is about her. Her and her career.

I was a Hillary Clinton suppoter up until she showed her ass with that tirade against Obama two weeks ago. And Bill pissed me off with his "Jesse Jackson won S.C. in 87" comment when Obama won S.C.. They have showed thier ass and it ain't cute!

The Clintons will throw the Democratic party under the bus if they don't have thier way!!

He still gets to go to bed with that sweet sweet wife.

And someone took his lucky charms.

I feel so dirty.

Kucinich has a big lead in his race, thank goodness. http://vote.sos.state.oh.us/pls/enr/f?p=152:5:0

Obama's speech was brilliant.

Karl Rove looks like he just shit his pants.

If anyone cares, Duncan Hunter beat Rudy in Texas, 1% to 0%. :)

unbelievable......
have at it.
way too narrow minded

Ohio Dems went for McCain?

Damn Ohio

You shouldn't treat poor and struggling middle class citizens with disrespect.

Pa-leaze! Ohio is showing itself to be the most ignorant state in the Union.

Right behind Florida!!

What Ms. Clinton did on 60 Minutes when asked whether she believed Mr. Obama was a Muslim was disgraceful. Up to that point I'd have voted for her - I've been a Democrat for 32 years - but I'll never approve of that kind of cheesy, destructive, negative behavior. I've had enough of it from this Adminstration and I won't be a party to it continuing in the next. Attack his record, attack his weakness, but don't plant seeds of bigotry. Sickening.

He should've given a speech like that Sunday or last night!
