Democrats Pick A New Frontrunner

CQPolitics.com:

For the first time in the longest presidential campaign ever, Hillary Rodham Clinton has undeniably lost frontrunner status for the Democratic nomination.

Barack Obama's sizable primary victories on Tuesday in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia put him out front for both pledged delegates and unpledged superdelegates at the party's nominating convention this summer.

Why are there so many HATERS on here? Try putting the same amount of energy behind
uncovering all that the BUSH crime family and Republican rubberstamp congress has done against the WORKING CLASS and that should be enough to shut every pyscho-Republican up for a few decades.

[apresdeluge]

Hey boys & girls. Take a minute or so to read Joe Wilson's endorsement of Hillary Clinton. It is actually posted on HuffPost (must have slipped past the censors). Anyway, it bring a thoroughly adult perspective into the nomination process and electibilty issue. Way to go Joe!

[Ammobob]

Went to both OSAMA's and MCJAWS websites to compare policies on TAXES and HEALTHCARE. Both are very similar in expanding choices, participation, and prescription drug reform EXCEPT McJaw does it thru voluntary means and incentives while OSAMA mandates a universal, government run system.
OSAMA's plan is specific with all kinds of 'credits' for taxpayers and new federal spending. With credits and new spending, OSAMA's plan will initially cost around 200 billion. He advocates expansion of both Medicaid and SCHIP, covering 25 year old 'children', mandatory employer participation, tons of new government oversight and regulations on the industry, 50 billion for electronic medical records, and regulating the amount of profits an insurer and healthcare provider can make. SCARY. Can you say SOCIALISM????

[Ammobob]

On TAXES, McJaw wants lower rates for all, and credits for healthcare, insurance, and education. OSAMA wants to keep middle class taxes low, give more credits for working, helathcare, insurance and education. Very similar.

[robodweeb]

Right. That billion-do­llar-a-day interest payment on the Reagan/Bush/Bush debt isn't nearly enough. Let's add McCain debt to that list.

[beachdogs]

on taxes--read CNN transcript of debate and Obama wants to drop the Bush tax cut to those over 75000=====come on 75000 is just middle class and if its two folks incomes of say 45 each thats 90 and its like a hard working couple is going to get penalized.
I think the more extreme liberal folks learn Obama is they will vote republican and I am mad as hell we ended up in this situation. I think it really is time for a legit 3rd party in tis country that cares about the middle class-the republicans are for the rich the dems are for the poor--this is so unfair

[robodweeb]

Quick! Under the bed!

How's the private sector working for health care?

[Ammobob]

Fine, had no problem with my last annual physical, tests, and costs. How about you?

[HumeSkeptic]

Hey trolls!

I own a shirt with Che's picure on it.

(This ought to keep'em busy for a while. Some might even go into fear induced coma.)

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Dude, why bait the under the bed crowd?

[HumeSkeptic]

Just for fun. I love to see them running scared of pictures, books, and stuff like that.

[Kalima]

Sorry Hume,but my hubby had Che picture underpants,
from "Take Six" of London,in the late 70's and it didn't
cause a single eye to flutter.Ab­solutely fabulous!

[HumeSkeptic]

I know that one. It is good.

[oscarp]

Well, soon wearing a shirt with Hitler on it will be fun and historic!!!! I bet Obama's followers might wear those, after all, they won't study History to see who that man was!!!! Having a Cuban flag with the image of Che Guevara on it shows lack fo knowledge, besides, is he running for president of the Socialist Republic of Cuba? Perhaps...­.

[robodweeb]

What they said back then...

WASHINGTON -- Old-pro Democrats who had been in awe of Sen. Hillary Clinton's perfect campaign believe she made her first serious blunder last Monday by indicating to CBS' Katie Couric that Hillary's election as president is inevitable.

THE NOTE: Hillary Inevitable No More?
Clinton’s Inevitability Evaporates in Iowa, while Thompson Fades Away

September 26, 2007
Is Hillary Inevitable?

Pundits have pretty well conceded the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton. In a basic sense, this is a reversal of recent history. Over the last few decades, it is the Republicans who have loyally nominated the heir apparent, the guy whose "turn" it was, even when--as when the GOP nominated Bob Dole in 1996--it was clear that he had little or no chance to win

Inevitable Hillary?
Hillary Clinton now has what a presidential candidate seeks: a sense of inevitability about eventual nomination

[beachdogs]

"Yes We Can"
Who is the we? What is the can?
So you all have time to work for the government for free? What you all say is so ridiculous.
I am a fulltime mom with a fulltime job and thats why we all pay taxes and elect offials to do the govt work.
Hurry up now go on down to Katrina and build some houses while the "helpless" victims all stand around and watch you!
You all remind me of the rabid crazed religious nuts that elected GW Bush -extreme right now at opposite end extreme left have the Obomabots drinking the koolaid not knowing about any substance and lstening to lies.
Ask Obama about the 270000 from Exelon the nuclear company for starters, oh there are more lobby ties they are called bundlers-lawyers and such that work for lobbyists--the point is he said he did'nt and he does--worse thing to me is a LIAR!!!

[batgirlevi]

If you don't like lying you need to step away from the rethugs.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

We - The American People

Can - Affect change in the way things are done in Washington. Its time to stand up and give the corporate lobbyists the finger and tell them to fuck off.

[beachdogs]

once again empty words how are you going to do that and Obama does take lobbyist money
Exelon and some insurance and drug companies==do google search all the articles are there
I am not happy with lobbyists either especially pharmacutical companies and insurance companies===they are disgusting-as evidenced in Canada having cheaper drugs, but Obama is no better than the rest of them-they all need a swift kick up the ass

are you all not disturbed by the hateful church he goes to-the comments they make are not very Christian
they sound very rascist to me

[Gabrielle]

HOW CLOSE ARE "BILLARY" TO KARL ROVE?
WATCH THE SWIFTBOATING COMING, ALSO COULD THEY "STEAL" THE ELECTIONS IN THE UPCOMING STATES?
THEY SEEM SO CERTAIN OF THE OUTCOMES..­...
AND W SEEMS TO APPRECIATE THEM SO MUCH....

[VOTER]

Off Topic -

Read Condi and Gate's article in the Washington Post

begging Congress to allow this Administration to

determine the USA's future policies in Iraq.

NEVER!

THEY ARE ATTEMPTING TO LEGITIMIZE BUSH'S
ILLEGAL WAR OF CHOICE.

Our next President and newly elected Congress should deal with Iraq and not this band of criminals.

[IkeChicago]

If Condi need a good man, an astute man, a big man, a smiling man, a man's man, an athletic man, I've available. Anyone having her email please inform. Me and Condi traveling in Washington circles, I've seen the man she is dating, he's an idiot and without class.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Why would you want to date Condi?

[Bobby]

Condi is a typical Bu$hite, keep screwing up all the time and you will get promoted. Gates is another Poppy Bu$h lap dog that was involved in Iran/Contra. So was former CIA director Porter Goss. That's why Dumbya Bu$h hired them. More lap dogging for the Bu$hes.

[IkeChicago]

I will not have you attacking my future man. To Dan, if you don't advertise, you don't get noticed get with it.

[robodweeb]

In an episode of "30 Rock" the Alec Baldwin character was supposedly dating Condi.

They were maintaining a long distance relationship because of her travels. She'd call from her cell phone.

Tina Fay asked how she could get cell reception with her head so far up Bush's ass.

Must See TV.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Maybe they surgically implanted a cell tower in Bush's colon.

[batgirlevi]

Gates must have received the kool-aid intravenously. I remember in the first few months he started serving under bush he spoke against torture.

[thegreatgiginthesky]

Either that or Cheney threatened to take him hunting.

[TILL]

Guess I'm lucky...li­ke both Clinton and Obama. Both will make a superb President. Not too impressed with Crawford's article. Not impressed with the idea Obama has the nomination locked-up. Know the job of the pundits is to try and predict and they have to show-off in doing so, and the showing-off has to be garbed in some kind of put-down language..­.but it doesn't garner them much credibility when reading them...and of course that's the opinion of one,me.

But that's the media for you now and they are in a state of crisis for good reason. Ironically and this word has been in the news lately: the news media is "pimped-ou­t." Saw a clip of Brokaw on Stewart, and here was a media guy and human...no­t store-bought and had class, which of course comes natural...­it's just that, whoever, hired him must have identified with that...and on top of that he can be trusted because he's honest. Back to Clinton and Obama. Compare them to Bush and McCain and what do you get...a lot.

[Bobby]

At least Obama has a message about hope and change. Something that most of us want DESPERATELY. Compare the speeches of Obama and McCain. Obama is an orator that excites his audiences. McCain puts them to sleep. Listen (below) to the message that the "Nutjob Express" wants for all of us. And we thought Dumbya Bu$h was delusional. And he is, by the way, but McCain is a rabid dog.

[robodweeb]

Watching McCain is like watching Ike except without the charisma.

Che Guevara Flags in Obama's Houston Office
Barack Obama won’t wear an American flag, but his Houston campaign office flies a Cuban flag with a picture of Communist Che Guevara...

[JoJoKewl]

Dream on.

[HumeSkeptic]

Which picture is that? There's that classic picture of Che that I absolutely adore. I picked up several shirts with that picture during my last visit to Europe.

[Superbus]

Interesting. I guess that means that being a tortuerer and a murderer is fine, as long as you are a marxist?

[ATLien]

You adore it???? Yea, whats not to adore, I mean its not like he killed ten of thousands. Or threatened to nuke NYC. Yea, he is so "adorable". A liberal dream.

[Rumplestiltskin]

Very underground eldely hippie chic. And really approprate. Communism has worked out so well around the world it says a lot that the left keeps one of its more muderous proponents as an icon.

[batgirlevi]

Yawn.

Oh, by the way. Obama received more votes than all you repuke candidates combined.

And here's some equal time on youtube for mccain.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3gwqEneBKUs

[batgirlevi]

More 'inspiration' from the nasty little man.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EUKINg8DCUo

[SaskiaStars]

ATLien - referring to pin-gate that Faux news tried to stir up is silly. Like Bill Maher said, "you're getting pissy about about a broach you queens" LOL!!!

[oscarp]

This is either ignorance or perhaps Obama wants to run for President of the Socialist Republic of Cuba, after all, now that Castrois sick, he might have a chance there too, his message of change could also be effective in communist Cuba, so perhaps they decide to incorporate Cuba to the Florida peninsula LOL!! well, in that case, he will be in big trouble, since most cubans here will vote Republican LOL. I wonder what a cuban flag with Che Guevara on it is doing in one of his campaig offices when he can not salute the American flag, after all, is he trying to get elected to become the US President? Let me know if he changed his mind and is running in Cuba!!! Independent here with my own slogan
NO HILLARY
NO VOTE

[JoJoKewl]

Superbus (See profile | I'm a fan of Superbus)
Democrat voters. At least God loves them.

Hey, a myth loves me. I'm so happy I could just poop.

[JoJoKewl]

And did you come up with that stoopid scree name all by yerself or did some wino help you???

[MetalCanuck]

This would matter if Obama wasn't controlled by the same people. THEY ARE THE SAME! CFR PEOPLE!

[ATLien]

cue x-files conspiracy music.

[vsign]

I address this to the religious left and young people: Obama Nation cult members act like followers, not voters. Instead of talking about why to vote for Obama, they give you reasons to believe in him. And they don't like me - an older white working class woman. In fact they are giddy with excitement of power over my life with a democratic win. They really believe I will vote for their guy when I've determined their guy doesn't offer me anything. I want a president, not a cult leader. In fact - I will refuse to join this cult. I fear for my country if I give such a cult leader the power of my vote. So to all you Obama worshipers - I do not want my party taken over by your religious leader. I will do what I need to stop you from taking over my party. I know what I think does not matter to you. You are so drunk with the anticipation of power. Shame on all of you for not caring about me.

[robodweeb]

Someone as a-scared as you should be a Republican.

[Superbus]

This seems like a dream, doesn't it? A very weird dream at that. Here we have a fellow who was handed his Senate seat, has no legislative accomplishments and is now the democrat frontrunner?

Scary, very scary. What are these people inhaling, or do they really need a messiah?

[shockmagog]

Perhaps a correction to blatant criminal activity would be a better choice of words.

[robodweeb]

What an accomplishment.

He didn't have to gain fame from an association like Bush or Clinton.

Got there all by himself. Through his talents and intelligence.

Try not to be so afraid of everything.

Ronald Reagan: The Republican Messiah.

[IkeChicago]

Guess who is making a major economic policy speech today.
