Right is Wrong -- the Song

At the time I was reading Arianna's new book, I was visiting my cousin (the lone Republican of the family) who made me listen to O'Reilly in the car -- as well as watch Glenn Beck on Headline News talking seriously to a guest about the "end times". So Arianna, CNN, and the radio blowhards are the inspiration for this ditty. Oh, and I had additional word help from fellow Sugartit member (the band that never quite got off the ground) Michelle Lewis.

Right is Wrong!! PS I'll be appearing at Joe's Pub in New York City on May 18 and May 20. Come see me if you're in town.

Obaama's apology is for using the word 'sweetie. :: 'That's a bad habit of mine. I do it sometimes with all kinds of people. I mean no disrespect and so I am duly chastened on that front'.

It was a sheer coincidence we both using same word almost around a same time... I think... I saw the Sweetie' story @ huffpo after 45 min or so [huffpo moderator took about half an hour to allow me post]... however I mean the word whenever I say it... He meant no disrespect­... and mine was out of respect...

Any man who has daughters does it.

Kudos... So the singing reporter tradition is alive... Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to Peter Ochs and Bob Dylan... bless ya... gr8 lyric... u r gifted sweety.

Right has always been wrong b'coz it keeps a whole loads of people deluded with religion or patriotism and make a plaything of them... but now they seem to have done themselves in... Dubya just played havoc with the global economics, environment [knew that he looks feels seems an idiot, and first thing he did on going back on Kyoto Protocol] he has harmed his party beyond a fix... I foresee a center-center, a center-left, both essentially liberal polity for USA, an empire found on loot & plunder...

More parties and a proportional or full representation system of voting... which will give adequate represntation to minorities and women... upto 40% women in politics in Norway, Finland & Sweden... India & USA have 12-14%... please write & sing a song on PR System of Voting. [strange though personally I have never voted in me life, agree with Gore Vidal... that it only encourages them most debased of u know what]

This is bravery to me... salute to u women for the courage to say this simple truth... time is so right b'coz they just messed this lands in a tremendous harm spree on many front for past 8 years... I suspect a connection of increased numbers of tornadoes creating havoc to Dubya's reversal on Kyoto... somehow...

Finally we have a fighter in Hillary and just see how the liberal media and her own wussy party people are treating her?! She is a far stronger candidate than Obama because:

Her resume is a mile long while Obama"s fits on a "post-it"!
More Dems have voted for her than for Obama
She gets around 66% of all votes except for the liberal elite including the far left and Afro-Americans. The SAME/SIMILAR coalition that led to the doom of Dems in all General Elections since Nixon, except for a brief respite in 1992 and 1996!
Obama has won caucuses which are hardly a representation of "the will of the people" while Hillary has won all the major States relevant this Fall
Obama"s majority of victories are in "deeply Red" States and hence have no impact in the General Election
Pastor Wright and Bill Ayers are not going away! His association with them makes his entire candidacy suspect, to say the least. His campaigns wink-wink with the Canadians on NAFTA, his campaign fellas meeting with Hamas and Michele Obama"s pronouncements about her own Country are red meat and fair game if he is nominated

[knighthowl]

You appear to share a trait with your fighter, Hillary. Did I miss something, or didn't we just try a delusional pathological liar as President? If you would delete untruths and misstatements from your post, it would be at least 10 lines shorter.

[HanSolomente]

You know who make the best fighters? The one's who realize when they have lost. Then they learn from their mistakes and do better the next time. Never giving up isn't always an admirable trait, and unfortunately Hillary is finding that out right now.

There are two kinds of resumes: one kind shows a lot of titles and positions, often acquired without the basic requirements or free, fair and open competition to hold them, cou0led with a lot of hardly disinterested self-promotion, self-assertion and bragging--­Billary's. Another kind of resume shows some real and tangible accomplishments, against many odds, with the accomplishments and testimonies others speaking to the qualities of a person rather than that person's own bragging--Obama's.

What exactly has Hillary ever really DONE? Think about it. Just like George Bush, she was born on third base (relatively speaking) and keeps crowing how she hit a triple. Relative to the initial advantages she has had, with class and race advantages clearly overwhelming gender disadvantages, she has actually done, accomplished and tangibly produced little. On the other hand, Obama, raised by a single mother and by his grandparents, as editor of the Harvard Law Review easily gave up ahigh-paying Wall Street law firm but instead went back to work as a community organizer and actually live in the south-side Chicago community in which he was organizing for some $12,500 a year--a real resume.

Hillary's resume? It is a lot of titles, self-promotion, backroom dealing, dissembling and opportunism manifesting a smug sense of entitlement and a Calvinist (like Bush) notion of having been "preordained" to rule.

Hillary and her type, in both parties, are among the reason why Independents out number both registered Democrats and Republicans.

[socialdemocracy1968]

Independents actually do not outnumber registered Democrats, or Republicans for that matter, though they are much closer in number to the latter party. Dems number 73 million, Repubs 55 million, and Independents 43 million. But it's to Obama's advantage that he's winning independent votes. True Democratic voters won't do a complete U-turn and go for McCain, since he's the antithesis of Democratic ideals in every way possible. The vast majority of these Dem voters, despite what the MSM tells you, will still vote for Obama. Do you honestly think Obama will lose in Massachusetts and California in November because Hillary won those states in February? And I can guarantee you they won't be staying home either, because Dems are desperate for a victory. But these independent voters are on the fence. They could go either way. It's a true testament to Obama's electability that these idependent voters aren't picking Republican ballots in the primaries. It's these independent votes that will deliver the election to Obama.

I feel sorry for people for whom every friendship is predicated on politics. How sad such obsessive folks must be--differences in opinion elevated to thinly-veiled hate, open resentment and childish name-calling. There is so, so, so much more to life.

Obama/Edwards 08! Si, su pueda! Yes, I do!
