[fenriswolf]

I mean come on? does anyone believe their is a national silent effort on the republican side to get obama elected? one that goes from the media to the politicians to our brothers, sisters aunts and uncles? between obama and his massive support and clintons really funny republican endorsments does anyone believe that the right has an orchastrated effort to elect hillary or obama so that they can win in a landslide with mcCain? C'mon people.

Obama has support of alot of people including republicans (some of my family included)

hillary....well they like her because she will insure that politicians still get paid, that right wing talking points that have been with us for decades will still be their, etc.

1. That is NOT why *I* am voting Hillary.

Kindly do NOT put words in my mouth, hmmm?

[fenriswolf]

3. didnt say any reason why anyone was voting for anyone

just sayin saw a couple threads, heard the point repeated just wanted to put in my two cents.

and i have heard this from both sides

"dont vote for X cause the republicans want X in the GE so they can pounce on them"

5. You're a repuke?

I don't like repukes.

Take a fucking hike!:mad:

2. They won't have to trick us. We're left with the only two Dems who could LOSE fairly.

They won't even need Diebold this time around.

Get used to hearing the phrase "President McCain", because
you're gonna be hearing it a LOT.

4. I tend to agree with you

They're grabbing their own asses trying to figure out what they're going to do with Huck garnering some unexpected wins. If anything I believe that they would try to confuse us with wacky statements.

So it's best to focus on our agenda, ignore them for now, and damn the torpedoes - full speed ahead!

6. You bet the republicans know this is for all the marbles ...

It's called the Supreme Court and they will do whatever it takes to win this one.

BO is being played like a banjo.

7. Obama has now won 5 "blue states" and 13 "red"(of which 2 were "close red" in 04) - why would he be

stronger than Hillary in the general if he can not beat her in the "base" of a Democratic election victory in 08?
