Comments on: Democrats Ready To Rally Around A Nominee

CBS' Kathy Frankovic: Despite Bitter Campaign, Clinton And Obama Supporters Say They'd Back Either In November

"The Hart-Mondale contest divided Democratic voters by age and by commitment to the party, much like the Clinton-Obama divide today. Younger voters, better educated voters, and voters who thought of themselves as independents were more likely to support Hart (as they do Obama this year), while older voters, less educated white voters and those who identify as Democrats were more likely to support Mondale (and now Clinton)."

Now why, does this come as absolutely no surprise at all? One would have to be somewhat mentally challenged or lack certain cognitive skills, to not note the discrepancies in Clinton''s rhetoric and performance and to not see the deviousness of her particular campaign approach. Sort of like the way, we noted that Bush supporters must all hail from La-la land. Who knew that was where Clinton supporters dwelt also? If Clinton wins the election, get ready for 4 more years of la-la land fall out, while the Republicans crow and the Hilary supporters bleat: "who knew". Everyone but YOU--that''s who. lmao

Everyone has to check out the article %u201CWhite Voters with a Side of Hispanics%u201D on the blogzine Savage Politics. This is an awesome discussion and analysis on the current Democrat and GOP candidates and their eligibility.

Maybe in tomorrows debate with Edwards gone Mr. Obama could at some point let us hear something about what Senator Obama proposes as policy, what he might do, what he has done, what he would do on a Day 1, his anti Hillary rants and these lectures on the liberal poetry of the social justice changes we all need has gotten oldzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[pepperp1]

Could we wait until the votes are counted, Hillary Clinton is a highly respected candidate and there has been no shift out here in voter land, so this is spin a bluff a power grab by the Mass Liberal Wing of the Party who have now tied their kite to Obama, Obama is no JFK that%u2019s obvious, it is an attempt to pull the party back to the Group Grievance Social Justice Liberal Platform you have seen on display the last three weeks that of course requires a leftist economic policy to support the Cause. Identity politics are non productive vauge grudges ugly victimization that then NEEDS hope to rise above and like these past weeks self inflicted, it produces no measurable result and cost much as the lofty pursuits to rise everyone up go on and on and enough is never enough, it ignores the pressure that already has been placed on the burdened middle class. There is a fight for the heart a soul of the Party AGAIN a slug feast between the Clintons, Schumer, Rangel kitchen table democrats types and the Liberal Kennedy, Kerry, Clyburn lions, but on Feb 5th Dems will vote like they did last night in Fla for Hillary and her centrist economic polices and Day 1 pledge most of the Parties base and independents that support Hillary cant afford these lofty liberal dreams and will vote accordingly with Hillary Clinton.

Striving for a united and harmonious nation DOES NOT mean that we do away with the police force, right?

Striving for a united and harmonious nation means that one IS NEVER inclined to draw ''''first blood'''' against fellow citizens.

However, if ''''first blood'''' is drawn by a citizen, then POLICE ACTION may be warranted; because necessary police action IS part of keeping a united and harmonious nation!

After Iowa''''s crushing defeat, the classless Clintons decided to go desert the important national issues and instead decided to go negative and personal on the real ''''front runner''''.

That misbehavior on the part of the Clintons invited carefully targeted ''''police action'''' by the Obama campaign.
Striving for unity and harmony in a nation DOES NOT mean that good citizens just lay down and allow misbehaving citizens to run all over them!

[jedi08]

Hillary is at 77 and Barak at 83 percent of people would vote for them. Those 6 percent are the difference in like a million people and the differnece in the dems winning or lossing. Wake up people Hillary is unelectable, especially against McCain

[likeitis5050]

The democrats have nothing to worry about from the size of things right now. Clinton, Obama, or McCain...6 of 1 and half dozen of the other. No difference in any of them. Oh, one claims to have been president already, if you count being married to one, and one claims to really know what we need...change, and one wants a vote because he was a prisoner of war...but at the end of the day they all agree on the same thing...tax tax tax in order to give, give, give...to the poor of course...which before it''s all said and done...everyone will choose to be in order to get anything for their tax dollars at all!!! The gravy train is headed your way, and unless you make over $85,000 a year...it''s going to be glorious. You suckers making the real dough are going to wish they passed out petroleum jelly at the voting booths. But these are smart politicians...they''ll figure out 2 years in that without the rich to tap...they''ve killed the goosed who lays the golden eggs. wooooohoooooo!

Anyone that can compare the Democrats to the Republicans is ignorant. I personally believe that the Hillary haters need to grow up and figure out where all this hostility comes from. Did your mommy leave you alone too much?

You can tell which side the idiotic editors are on by the photos they supply.

Fortunately Americans are smart enough to recognize tabloid journalism when they see it at the Childish Broadcasting Service (CBS)

Really. I would love to run the campaign for the Democratic nominee! Assuming the democrats use the appropriate strategy, the GOP has a snowballs chance in hell of retaining the Whitehouse or holding their numbers in congress.

[riskytime]

What I still do NOT understand is why the media is not following up on the candidates when their words are incongruent with a candidates behavior and actions. For example, Obama claims to be running a positive campaign on change, hope, and unity. Yet his behavior is one of attacking and mud slinging. He leveled another attack at Hillary and called her a name (divisive figure). Any response that Hillary provides to defend herself will be view negatively. So tell me why Obama gets to be like teflon...nothing sticks to him. One think I liked about John Edwards is he didn''t let the media get away with negative untruths. He wasn''t afraid to take a bold stand for americans. Obama''s attacks are inconsitent with his message. how are we supposed to trust this guy when he is not telling the truth about about anything. if he were telling the truth than his behavior and actions would be closely aligned with his words. say what you will about Hillary, I am not seeing a lot of inconsistency with her. I know folks either lover her or hate her...but at least she delivers consistently with her words and behavior. If Obama wins, I fear we will have nother George W. in the white house (i''m a uniter not a divider...remember?) How can you claim to be for new politics and surround yourself with the current senators and congressmen who are part of the problem. i guess he thinks americans are really stupid and won''t see the inconsistency.

Even though Hillary has only been a senator for a couple of terms, she''''''''s been around politics all her life.

experience in and of itself is not a barometer of competence. I was an auditor and investigator in the Pharm. Industry for years. Often, I''''d have to censure someone for doing something wrong--they would protest and defend their position by telling me they had been doing it that way for 15 to 30 years. I had to gently remind them, that since what they were doing was compromising the product--they were really saying they had put the product in jeopardy for 15-30 years.

The point is years do not mean anything if coupled with wrong choices. I don''''t know all of Hilary''''s choices, but the ones to vote for the Iraq war, to expand FISA and to condone torture do not take a rocket scientist or a career politician to know they are wrong--it just takes someone with a bit of decency and honor--and...enough principle and integrity to stand up for that decency--even if it is not the popular thing to do. Hilary does what is necessary to move her agenda forward. Not what is right or honest or decent--but what is necessary.

Voters should understand the ramifications of this type of agenda--because should she win--sometimes what may be necessary to her--may not be in the interest of the people who supported her--or be right--but this result will be what they put into power.

beader59: "What irritates me more than anything is that living in Oregon makes our votes a non-issue. All states should vote on the same day. So my vote will not count and that is about as unconstitutional as you can get. Something needs to change."

Yeah, it''d be nice to end the current craziness. Still, you should be thankful you live in a state that has a good voting system - when you cast your vote for president in November you may not be happy at the choices left, but at least you''ve got a paper trail to prove your vote wasn''t put in the opposition''s corner....

gunownerdan: "...blindly supporting either party will get you the exact same results. Both democrats and republicans are just as capable of destroying our constitutional rights and freedoms."

Actually, if someone like Dennis Kucinich won the elction, it''d be pretty much the polar opposite of what would happen if Tom Tancredo won.

As for "protecting our constitutional rights and freedoms", I''d trust any of the Democrat candidates precisely because of what we''ve experienced the last 7 years from the Republicans.

LOL! gunownerdan''''s just bitter because his horse fainted in the starting gate (Ron Paul). Two years from now nobody will even remember the name. LOL!

Posted by IRLiberal at 04:57 PM : Jan 30, 2008

Oh I on''t know about that. I mean in a few years I think Ron Paul will still be the punch line on some jokes. Sort of like when people joke about the Edsel.
