Obama And Hillary Prepare For Long Road Ahead

If dems wanted change, Pelosi would not be speaker, Reid would not be majority leader, and Hillary and Obama would not be the front runners. Sugar coat it all you want , but that is the way it is.

Do you all realize how SICK our election process is? The obscene millions needed PER WEEK, the corporate shutout of populist candidates.

We need: Publicly funded elections, with free debates on PBS for all the candidates who are one the ballot.

I have no idea why Huffpost has seemed to have lost this post. It is important and missing in action.

Hillary supporters never fail to bring up "experience".

Is it not true that the focus should be really on relevant accomplishments, rather than experience?

There are not many spectacular accomplishments by Obama. But what are Hillary's, independent of Bill Clinton?

And, for that matter, what are McBombs, other than getting shot down a few times, and getting captured in Vietnam? And how would that help him control the deficit and solve the healthcare mess?

And Mittens says he would consult the lawyers before he decides to take military action. And he might take another stroll with MLK before he dicides what to do about extreme economic inequities. Or he would institute a healtcare system exactly opposite to the one he instituted in Massachusetts.

Having no candidates with any significant accomplishments that matter, what it boils down to is that "vision thing" that Papa Bush always lacked, and had problem understanding.

We must make our decision based on how each candidate thinks, how they each approach problems, and what goals they each have -i.e., the vision thing. And hope for the best.

Remember the old Pepsi jingle, kids?

There's a whole new way of livin'

He's gotta a lot to give
for those who like to live
'cause Obama helps 'em
come alive

It's the Obama generation
comin' at ya, going strong
put yourself behind Obama
If you're living
You belong

Cause you've got a lot to live
And Obama's gotta a lot to give

Yeah Obama's got a lot to give.

I've been following politics since I was a teenager and I've called every political election correct since Reagan's first save for 2000 (which I still refuse to call a loss since the Supreme Court stepped in). Sadly, I called Bush's re-election in 2004. Having written this, I'm very nervous about 2008. We know so little about Obama's history pre-Washington. The conservative machine will pound away for months at his "most liberal senator in Washington" ranking. I also do NOT agree that Clinton will bring more conservatives to the voting booth. She would not. Reason? There isn't much difference between her and McCain however there is a HUGE difference between McCain and Obama. His nomination WILL galvanize the right and conservative pundits will tell you this quietly. That is why they are championing his cause. Last night, one would of thought Hannity was stumping for Obama.
I have many conservative friends (retired military) and to a person, they want to run against Obama, not Clinton. In public, they push the "Hillary is the anti-Christ" rhetoric while in the company of uncommitted Democrats because they WANT you to vote for Obama. I'll give the right credit...they know how to play the mental games better than the left.
My prediction for 2008? McCain will edge out Obama if Barack is our nominee. If I'm wrong, fine...better for my party. If I'm right, then credit the conservatives for yet again, playing chess while the left chose to play checkers.

Christ, last night at a meeting of my Young Republican Club, the enthusiasm was something to behold. We're all simply thrilled over our candidates for president.

We have John McCain, a war hero who wants to bomb any and all countries. That gives my club a hard on a bear couldn't bite.

We have Mike Huckabee who loves the Lord Jesus Christ as much as all us chistian conservatives do.

We have Mitt Romney who knows how to set up offshore accounts so we don't have to pay taxes . That's a christian conservatives wet dream.

All Republicans feel blessed to have three candidates that all of us can and will support.

--Top Uniformed Officer Calls for Shorter Deployments, Says US Troops Are Tired--

Pussies. They volunteered to go fight the global war on terror globally and now they're whining like babies.

I can guarantee you one thing, no members of my Young Republican Club ever whine about being "tired" after working 2 or 3 hours raising upwards of 10 dollars for the troops.

I think the biggest message from the elections thus far is that there is a movement to the left, both among Democrtas and whatever "left" means among the fascists.

Among the fascists, McBomb is considered a lefty because he voted against Bush's tax cuts for the super-rich, and has a sane approach to illegal immigration and Global Warming. Of course, on the issue of war, he is batshit crazy.

Among the Democrats, there was no one to the right of Hillary when it started. The dismantling of her "inevitability" by Obama is a sign that there is a movement to the left, although very slight, and mostly confined to the issues of war and foreign policy.

As a lifelong Republican, I'm very pleased to see my fellow Republicans reject the Dems latest stimulus package.

The Dems wanted to give billions of dollars to old people and disabled veterans and my team said no way in hell. Giving money to old people is like throwing money out the window. They'll soon be dead anyway. And giving money to disabled vets is even more absurd. They should instead be put down and their disability monies be given to recruiters to recruit more young blood to fight the global war on terror globally.

Thank you my fellow Republicans for not allowing the Dems to waste taxpayer dollars on the old and on veterans that are no longer of any use.
