But this is going a wee bit over the line!
There’s a joke about a "House Divided" in there somewhere….
You know, I make no bones about it, I cannot stand Hillary. Stuff like this Here, is why.
Check out the Picture being circulated by the Hillary camp.
For the record, many other lawmakers who visit other countries tend to dress up in that country’s dress.
To me, it just shows that Hillary is gasping for air, and that air is getting thinner by the second.
I just wish she would face facts and leave this race, to the grown up people, who don’t act like feckless children.

"No Fair! The Magic Negro is picking on me! Waaaah!"
Egad, It went from "We’ll be okay", to "I want to rip his friggin’ head off!", in the space of 48 Hours.
Wow.
I guess she blew her stack over some mailers that went out in Ohio. Here’s what the Obama camp said about it:
Obama spokesman Bill Burton said his campaign looked forward "to having a debate this Tuesday on the facts, and the facts are that Sen. Clinton was a supporter of NAFTA and the China permanent trade treaties until this campaign began. "
"And she herself has said that under the Clinton health care plan, she would consider ‘going after the wages’ of Americans who don’t purchase health insurance, whether they can afford it or not," he added.
You all know me, I do not mince words on this Blog. I tell it straight out like it is. I always have. I do not discriminate against any. So, in continuing with that tradition, I am just going to say this:
Hillary, This is politics. It’s the damn real world. If you cannot handle the heat sweetheart, then take your sorry behind, back to New York, or Arkansas or wherever the heck you live, and leave this politics business to the grow ups.
I find it very amusing, that every time someone calls this feckless closet lesbian to the carpet. She either cries and throws a hissy fit.
Isn’t it quite obvious to the rest of the world, that this woman isn’t fit to the President of United States?
and also, In case anyone has forgotten, this feckless idiot is also being investigated for wrong doing in a case as well.
The Video says it all:
Here’s hoping she finally pulls out of the race and we get a President that is honest. Unlike this criminal.
Whoa Boy… Obama is catching grief over a comment made at the debates.
Mostly from the far right wing nuts, who refuse to believe that our Military is nothing short of perfect.
Some people need to really look into getting real.
Even some of the comments on the Wing Nut Blogs even ADMIT that they were using enemy weapons and bullets.
But let a Liberal diss our Military?!?!?! Off with his Negro head!
Stupidity at it’s finest.
Yeah, I watched them. You can read the transcripts here.
It seemed the debates were quite civil. At least until Keith Olbermann’s show was over. It also tended to heat up, after Keith’s show went off. Which really struck me as odd.
Yes, I did think that. "I wonder if they knew?".
A couple good lines by Hillary:
BROWN: Senator Clinton, is it the silly season?
CLINTON: Well, I think that if your candidacy is going to be about words, then they should be your own words. That’s, I think, a very simple proposition.
(APPLAUSE)
And, you know, lifting whole passages from someone else’s speeches is not change you can believe in, it’s change you can Xerox. And I just don’t think…
OBAMA: Come on.
(CROSSTALK)
CLINTON: No, but, you know, but, Barack, it is.
Because, you know, if you look — if you look — if you look at the YouTube of these videos, it does raise questions.
Now, there is no doubt that you are a passionate, eloquent speaker, and I applaud you for that. But when you look at what we face in this country, we do need to unite the country, but we have to unite it for a purpose around very specific goals.
On the outset, this may sound like she was being snarky and cute. But this most likely will hurt her run for White House. Not recorded in this official transcript was the resounding chorus of Boo’s that went up, when the comment of the Xeroxing of comments was made. It really wasn’t Clinton’s smartest move.
Other than this here, I didn’t notice any outlandish sparring by the candidates at all. Other than the long winding sparring over heath care. Which was supposed to be about Iraq.
There was one good moment in this debate, however, here’s the Video:
And, you know, no matter what happens in this contest — and I am honored, I am honored to be here with Barack Obama. I am absolutely honored.
(APPLAUSE)
CLINTON: Whatever happens, we’re going to be fine. You know, we have strong support from our families and our friends. I just hope that we’ll be able to say the same thing about the American people, and that’s what this election should be about.
I think the Democrats, like JFK, RFK, LBJ and FDR, would be proud of that moment. That Democrats, despite their differences, can come together, when the smoke clears and work together.
I just hope it works in November. Because, we do need some change, and I’m afraid that McCain just doesn’t offer it. He is a great man, But his foreign policy and stance on the war in Iraq, is more of the same of Bush.

For McCain, Self-Confidence on Ethics Poses Its Own Risk (via New York Times)
Early in Senator John McCain’s first run for the White House eight years ago, waves of anxiety swept through his small circle of advisers.
A female lobbyist had been turning up with him at fund-raisers, visiting his offices and accompanying him on a client’s corporate jet. Convinced the relationship had become romantic, some of his top advisers intervened to protect the candidate from himself — instructing staff members to block the woman’s access, privately warning her away and repeatedly confronting him, several people involved in the campaign said on the condition of anonymity.
This could be big. Although, I highly doubt it. why? Because the story lacks substance. There’s no direct accusation.
Hey, at least she’s pretty. But have you seen his wife?
Now, why in the world, would he want to cheat, on someone who looks like her?
It just don’t make any sense…
I seriously doubt the Democrats will even touch this. I could see some of the younger guys, But McCain?!!? Nah! Not him.
Update: I’ve finally sat down and read the entire story. I posted an editorial regarding this story on my other Blog, click here to read it.

That’s what they’re saying.
My feelings are this, why can’t the woman handle her own?
Why does she need a 527 group do the dirty work for her?
I mean, If she’s so damned intent on winning the office of the President of United States, why can’t she fight her own battles?
The way I see it, if the woman cannot handle her own, while running the Office of President of the United States, what makes you think she will be able to handle even being the President?
Is she going to call a 527 to handle an attack by Al-Qaeda? Is she going to call a 527, when congress refuses her National Healthcare Plan?
Sounds to me like the feckless wench is just desperate. Time to quit, Hillary, while you still got your dignity. (That is assuming you had any…)
Color me unimpressed.

The fall out has started, over what Michelle Obama has said.
It ranges from dismissal, to outright racism.
Some people just need to get real.

This could get big, if it’s true…..
Sleaze charge: ‘I took drugs, had homo sex with Obama’ (via WorldNetDaily.com)
The electrifying presidential campaign of Barack Obama faces a new challenge – a Minnesota man who claims he took cocaine in 1999 with the then-Illinois legislator and participated in homosexual acts with him.
The Video in Question:
At first I thought, “Nah…”, But, Why would someone get on Youtube, and admit that they’re gay? and say something like this, if it’s not true. I mean, after all, we do not know much about Obama, except for his very sanitized website.
This does warrant more investigation.
Update: From the feedback I am getting, this could very well possibly be a hoax. But I am leaving up the post, just an case. Some are saying that the Hillary camp might be behind this. Although, I doubt it.
Update: May 10, 2008 – This man ended up taking a lie detector test and failing. See here for more info….. and hello to the ladies in the forum debating this!
There should be a law against this sort of blatant stupidity.
Right slams Obama as ‘shady Chicago socialist’ (Via Times Online)
LEADING Republicans believe they can trounce Barack Obama in the presidential election by tarring him as a shady Chicago socialist. They are increasingly confident that his campaign could collapse by the time their attack machine has finished with him.
Grover Norquist, an influential conservative tax reform lobbyist, said: “Barack Obama has been able to create his own image and introduce himself to voters, but the swing voters in a general election are not paying attention yet. He is open to being defined as a leftwing, corrupt Chicago politician.”
Not only will this not work. But if it’s taken too much to an extreme, could really come back to bite the Republicans in the rear. One only need to go to Wikipedia to get a list of the MANY scandals that have happened during the George W. Bush Presidential Administration. Some say his stint as President was the worst ever. I cannot say that I disagree with that.
So, I mean, they can go this route, But I would not suggest it. It would be totally disastrous for the party.
Of course, there are some that are saying, that this is all a doing of Hillary or at least she is loving it. This would not surprise me in the least. However, I don’t think that she is directly involved, I think it is the work of an over zealous, right wing fringe.
It should be a very interesting election year. I will be here covering it all.

Political Radar: Clinton Hears Voices from Beyond: ‘Keep Going’
“I can hear their voices saying, ‘You keep going! You give the people a real choice about the future!'” she said at a campaign event.
Welcome to the absurd.
