Since the precedent's been set, wonder how long will it be before barack "Waffles" obama will "distance" himself from the black community?

"The ( Democrats ) will be living in the ( White House ) next year"

Good Lord, I certainly hope not!

"the ( George Bush ) tax cuts are over"

Not yet. And Good Lord, I hope they're permanent.

"I can't wait for the November vote."

Me too. I'm sick of all this mean sniping between Hillary and Barack.

Better hurry! They're passing out autographed sickles and hammers to the first 25,000 people who vote democrat.

Anxious to get on the mean sniping between McCain and the Democratic candidate?

Unfortunately, that's what all of our candidates do--snipe on what should be non-issues. Obama is the least offensive of the three major contenders remaining.

Some of you people have the most screwed up priorities I have ever heard.

You're more disgusted with the political barbs spoken in a political contest, than the thousands of lives we bleed for a stupid war that doesn't protect us, and spending off our future generation to the poor house to boot.

Please, hit yourself over the head, and get your priorities straight.

The pastor sounds like a nut. Good think I'm voting for Obama and not for him.

The terror and fear from some republicans is wonderful.

"They're passing out autographed sickles and hammers to the first 25,000 people who vote democrat."

The republicans here are scared to death.

Aw-w-w-w-w-w!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh.

Not counting the doubtless delteted posts, 11 out of 32 posts were ramen´s.

I, for one, smell the panic in the air.

I guess this has two meanings: 1) Barry was facing heat from the Clintons on racial politics. What better way to show that he has transcended above the fray by distancing himself from a radical like Wright. Now the majority white population will see he is not like the Jackson crowd, and they probably should vote for him. 2) More than likely, Wright is of the "old order" and get's his recognition and fame from "blame the white man" crowd. This would help the Clinton's in the fact that that "old order" is solidly in the tank for them, and they have managed to make a lot of money playing along the game with them. Here comes Obama, an upstart that hasn't "paid his dues" in their opinion and would cause people like Wright to loose the mass appeal. They have all ready said that the lady that was mainly responsible for his being at the National Review event on Monday is an admitted Hillary supporter and active campaigner for her.

So either way, McCain will come out the winner.

Well, the Right certainly has worked itself into a lather.

It's a pity that the Rev Wright has decided to enhance his career off the back of Barack.

It's more of a turnabout-is-fair-play. Obama used Wright when it suited his purpose as an up-and-coming Chicago politician. You could say that Barry's chickens are coming home to roost.

The democrats will be living in the Whitehouse next year. Well, sort of. We will have a liberal as president next year. Just don't know which of the three it will be yet.

The troops will be coming home. Won't happen over night, but under the republicans plan there is no end to the war.

Completely off topic, but I'll address it anyway: Name one Democrat plan for victory in Iraq.

Reverend Wright and Bill Clinton: Both candidates enjoy their own self-destructive support.

Name one Democrat plan for victory in Iraq.

Both Obama and Clinton have the same plan for Iraq:

Pull Out - ??? - Profit

Yes, there are holes at the moment, but whoever wins won't have any trouble pulling ideas out of the thin of the air, perhaps without really knowing what they're talking about, the same way McCain did with his economy talk.

this thing will kill Obama off for sure. Hillary will ruin him and then everyone will vote for McCain. damn, for more years of darth vader, death stars and stormtroopers await us...
