As Ive said before, I believe all us Christian Conservatives should vote fer HIllary.
My fellow Conservatives! Consider what a hIllary presdiency will do for our Right Wing Media Operatives!!
Rush Limbaugh became a mega-star durin Billy Boye Clintons 8 years! Right Wing Media came into its own durin them heady days.
I still get a tear in my eye when I think about how good them Clinton days were for Right Wing Media.
Besides! What have we to lose?!
We CAINT vote for McCain. He has worked WITH Democracts to effectuate legislation!! Why, hes even worked with TEDDY KENNEDY!!!
As Christian Conservatives, workin with Teddy Kennedy or ANY Democrat goes against our ideeologie and our religion of partisanship!
So, callin all Conservatives! Stand up for INTOLERANCE!! Stand up for LOUD, OBNOXIOUS, HIGHTLY PARTISAN RIGHT WING MEDIA! VOTE FOR HILLARY!!
After all, if she wins, we ken always obstruct and impeach!

Against my better judgment:
"My fellow Conservatives! Consider what a hIllary presdiency will do for our Right Wing Media Operatives!!"
Commentators, as opposed to leftwing operatives, aka news reporters.
"We CAINT vote for McCain. He has worked WITH Democracts to effectuate legislation!! Why, hes even worked with TEDDY KENNEDY!!!"
Reagan, Bush, and Barry Goldwater also worked with Ted Kennedy
"So, callin all Conservatives! Stand up for INTOLERANCE!!"
Haven't been on a university campus recently, have you? Talk about intolerance, and it's all liberal.

We the People of the Great State/Republic of Texas have spoken!!! Hillary R. Clinton and Barack H. Obama will have to bash each other for 7 more weeks! That's what 1 or two weeks less than all the time since the Iowa Caucuses? That many weeks is an eternity for those two to beat each other up as Mc Cain (his real name) just waits.
I want to say that I hope I didn't offend anyone by mentioning the name of one of the Democrat front runners, it seems every name he has sounds like he's from someplace east of Center Texas, but I did refrain from using the name that seems to offend some of those with less than formidable constitutions.

SLATE:
"Hillary R. Clinton and Barack H. Obama will have to bash each other for 7 more weeks! That many weeks is an eternity for those two to beat each other up as Mc Cain (his real name) just waits."
If you think that's going to save McCain, you have another thing coming.
http://www.reuters.com/article/newsOne/idUSN056...
"Presumptive Republican presidential nominee John McCain trails Democrats Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in hypothetical matchups. Illinois Sen. Obama leads McCain by 12 percentage points -- 52% to 40%; New York Sen. Clinton leads McCain by 6 points -- 50% to 44%, the poll found."
If that's not bad enough BOTH Hillary Clinton and Obama are (1) out-fundraising McCain and (2) breaking records for voter turnout.
But this is all moot anyway because by November we'll only have two choices: a Democrat or a liberal RINO. Since Romney, Huckabee, Thompson, and Giuliani are out, anyway you look at November, YOU NEOCONS HAVE LOST.

I'm ok with the Republicans not winning, they did a bad job the last 8 years, Though I do think even with his flaws McCain would make a better president over H&O. With that said, 7 weeks is a very long time anything can happen and that time will help McCain with a time to plan for damage control' only time will tell.
With the News Falsh about a bomb going off in Times Square this morning it will raise the 'War against Terror debate again which is John's strongest suit. I wonder how long it will take people like you to claim Bush did that one too?

Not a suprise, Ohio mabey....everyone knew the rednecks in Texas were not going to vote for Obama. This is why he could have a hard time becoming the president. I think a lot of the Hillbillys in the country will support McCaine even of they dont agree with his policies just to Keep Obama out. Id the trepublicans win again heaven help us because we will Deserve another 8 years of pain and shame.

Kinda sour grapes, I take it...
I would have been much more surprised if Ohio would have voted for Obama, as the demos there are something like 82.5% white, as opposed to Texas having more than 35% "minorities", meaning hispanics and african-descended people, which was reflected a bit in the gap of voting.
I've got to wonder about this: "I think a lot of the Hillbillys in the country will support McCaine even of they dont agree with his policies just to Keep Obama out."
Is Obama going to accept, or even be offered, the vice-presidency?
Don't worry, the chances of another republican administratio any time soon are better than none, but not more than slim, by any means.

Guess we have to look forward to another month or two of words being exchanged between Hillary and Barack. But at least they'll be in the news, keeping their views out there.
In the meantime, McCain will be gone from the media for a while, no doubt planning his strategy.
But I do hope he comes out once and a while and reminds us that we'll be in Iraq for the next 100 years, and that the economy is not his strong suit.

I am worried about the talk that the GOPers are telling their people to vote for her! This is the thing that worries me, what if her win is empty?

Ok, Your demographics info speaks for itself.
Regardless of who voted for whom, please note one thing: Blacks are ONLY 12% in Texas and they ALL came out voting for obama, so that is the end of it... whites who go ga-ga for obama ALSO came out to vote. BUT, ONLY 26% of Texas eligible voters voted yesterday, so WHO do you think the remaining Texas voters will vote for in November?!
Also, do not count that much on Hispanic votes for obama... McCain has a solid record on immigration and he may very well appeal to their conservative values... DFINITELY when compared to the MOST LIBERAL senator.
And if this does not scare you enough, please also note that many of the southern states replicate Texas... do not, for a moment believe that in November Mississippi will vote for obama. You would underestimate grossly the rural white population in MS. (By the way, I lived in MS for 3 years and in Texas for 12 )

EL PASO, Texas - Texas has become the fourth state to have a non-white majority population, the U.S. Census Bureau said Thursday, a trend driven by a surging number of Hispanics moving to the state.
According to the population estimates based on the 2000 Census, about 50.2 percent of Texans are now minorities. In the 2000 Census, minorities made up about 47 percent of the population in the second-largest state.

The rednecks in Texas voted for Hillary. It was a GOP strategy to keep her in the race. I know because I voted in Texas and am a registered dem but was asked if I wanted to vote Repub or Dem.
The news here in Texas reported that 15% of voters that normally vote republican voted for Hillary.
The whole notion of Hillary winning white males is a farce. Those were republican white men voting for her because they fear an obama candidate.
The caucuses in my area were more representative--10 for Obama, 4 for Hillary.

See my comment above regarding obama's chances in Texas in November... based on demographics not speculation.
The MATH does not hold... and the math is much more powerful than obama's empty speaches... it determines who wins. When the remaining 74% of the voters in Texas vote in November, fear would not factor in.. I have only been in Texas for 12 years but Texans surely do not look like fearful people to me! Certainly not fearful of obacarama...

I don't understand the negative marks, it is true as reported on channel 13 news in Houston. Check it out yourself. They reported 15-20% of the republicans switched and voted for Hillary because (refference) Rush Limbaugh told his listeners to vote for Hillary. It's reported as a possible republican strategy. You can type in at the search, channel 13 news Houston and read the whole story.

Ah. I see.
Any result that agrees with you is representative; and result that disgarees with you is not. Pathetic.
While I prefer a Clinton candidacy, I do accept that Obama's victories to date have been legitimate, representative votes on the part of the population of those States. Kindly return the courtesy.

Yeah... because everyone knows the South is still the bigoted, Jim Crow region it always was. We all know the North has become the enlightened mecca of civilized society... Wait, its 2008! You mean the racism isn't really effecting the vote? You mean the south has, by and large, voted for Obama over Clinton? You mean its states like New York and California that Clinton won in landslides?! You don't say! My god, people can not vote for Obama and not be racist. Get over your mentality of "south=racist, north=tolerant" because its not true.

Mdiar - You are correct it's not true...a few years back i drove from Cali to NY with my then White Blond blue eyed GF. We took the entire summer seeing the Country and we were shocked at the reaction we got in the South as appose to the North. I have to say things got really tense once we were in the North. In the south the people seem to go out of their way to let us know they were quite OK with the Idea of us being together. But in states starting from Ohio to Maine things got different we got the looks and the under the breath comments the delayed seating at eating establishments the usual things a black person experiences so much so that it made the young lady cry, she didn't understand how i got through the day. Thing is we carried a gun through the southern states because we expected trouble and it turned out we should have done so in the North.
I have a friend in my business that left NY for that reason, she married an Asian man and her life was a living hell in NY after.

"...everyone knew the rednecks in Texas were not going to vote for Obama."
WOW!!! Could you spew a more prejudicial load of rubbish?? So, anyone who opposes Obama's campaign of hollow rhetoric and empty promises is a "redneck?" Do those who oppose HIllary amount to misogynists? Are those opposed to McCain (you really should learn how to spell his name if you are going to pretend to know what you are talking about) also opposed to the elderly?
"I think a lot of the Hillbillys in the country will support McCaine [sic] even of they dont agree with his policies just to Keep Obama out."
I thought the Hillbillies loaded up their truck and moved to Beverly -- Hills, that is!

I disagree with the Redneck comment, however how do you know this to be true? "Obama's campaign of hollow rhetoric and empty promises" Which of the candidates promises are guarantee? Are you a member of the Right of this nation and if so which of bushes rhetoric would you say got your vote and can we call full ?
I say it's rather presumptuous at this stage to to pretend to know who has weight in what they say. The problem you have with Obama is that he is giving you the truth, you have been lied to for so long that the truth turns your stomach. I believe that McCain will beat Clinton, I also believe that he could not beat Obama and here is why. The right is voting for Clinton the group that turned the nation into a republican led one the last time. The undecided and the independents are all voting for Obams, given this scenario if all the DEMS plus the independents and undecided voted for obama in the general election he will crush McCain.

Try to learn how to spell before you represent yourself on these blogs. HILLBILLYS in TEXAS! What's that all about. Here are the facts. Obama is the favorite of the moveon.org
crowd. He's not ready for primetime and his bombastic flourishes are better suited for some kind of left leaning professor at an upscale university
She won tonight by 350,000 votes, she'll win Pennsylvania by 500,000.
The maths in her favor and I'm sick of Jonathan Alter & Oberman & Mathews salavating over Obama & saying otherwise.
MSNBC what a joke.

"She won tonight by 350,000 votes, she'll win Pennsylvania by 500,000."
Yeah, but the DNC has a strange formula for allocating delegates, making it very difficult for Hillary to catch up. She would have to win Pennsylvania by more than 2-1 to have a realistic chance of evening the delegate count. Too bad, because at least Hillary would have made a race of it.

Your thinly veiled prejudice is sad. The fact of the matter is that Obama ran up his totals in lots of states where Democrats stand as much chance of winning as I have of winning the 2008 American League MVP. Hillary is a better candidate for the Democrats because, while she will get most of the African-American vote, a lot of Latinos and Jews will support McCain over Obama. While Obama and Clinton might project similar raw popular votes, an Obama candidacy imperils needed states like Ohio, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Michigan. Winning Illinois by 35% won't account for much in this situation.

((rednecks in Texas were not going to vote for Obama))
Mr. Breaker, I can see that you have a bigoted view of we people in Texas. Let's see. Redneck, oh you mean like a country hick that doesn't like uppity black folks?
You see Texas is populated mostly by 4 large cities. Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston the last two are in the top FIVE largest cities in the nation, Full of; you guessed it City Folk, nar a Redneck around. We have running water and everything.

We have a very large mix of folks from all over the world and interracial marriage is not only accepted but as common as any very large city that is 60 miles across and packed full of 4.5 million people. To bolster the absurdity of your bigoted statement I'll tell you that just in my office of 12 5 people voted for Barack Obama and ya know what they wuz all white crackers, imagine that. Of course I didn't vote for him, because I don't play games and cross party lines for one, and two if he expects to garner my vote, he'd better start telling me what he plans on doing, if he can beat Hillary that is.
I do have one question? Why is it you Democrats can't let go of the race thing like we did here in Houston like 40 years ago?

I think that the Scarecrow (the one without a brain) could encapsulate last night's results most clearly.
"Well, Dorothy," he might say, "the Wicked Witch is NOT dead, and you may never get back to Kansas. Even the Magical Caramel Wizard may not be able to save you now. All the strings he pulled last night went for naught, and even if you get back to Kansas, you won't be able to recognize the place when the Witch gets done with it. You might as well resign yourself to living in this fantasy-land. It's sure to be a lot more pleasant than going home will be."

Truer words have not been spoken! The wicked witch of washington's white wig, barbara bush, still lives! We have to keep track of her evil minion offspring, florida finaglin' Jeb, and the evil Kult Kook Neil. They are probably planning more malfeasance to continue the ravaging and rape of our land!
It's a good thing that things will change, and possibly keep our country out of the evil bush hands for a happily ever after.
