Can you believe it? A woman Hispanic is going to the Supreme Court!
How are you neo-con, redneck, "America love it or FU" rural Southern agents on this board taking it?
And then there is Winter (no one knows his real name... he is far too embarrassed by his racist and homophobic views to tell us.)
I mean, look at the facts. You have a black President, a black Attorney General, and now... (I know it hurts) a Hispanic on the court... and a LIBERAL at that!
And here is another OMG moment. Winter's favorite Senator... from MAINE no less... Olympia Snowe is going to vote for her. OMG, OMG... Maine is going to vote for a liberal, non-white, woman to be on the court.
This HAS to be Winter's worst day in his entire life.
Yeah, you guys keep following Winter (and the idiot Bill### and Freddie) and you will forever be in the minority, to say nothing of being tossed on the "trash heap of history" (as said by Ronald Reagan in a speech to the British House of Commons on June 8, 1982 but actually 'coined' by Leon Trotsky in 1917. Of course most of you only have a junior college education and never studied world history. No, Leon Trotsky is not a rock singer!)
Oh yeah. Do nominate a ticket of Palin and Limbaugh in 2012. The resulting election returns will be worse than Dole/Kemp in 1996.)
Oh,silly me. Winter says there is going to be a third party "uprising." By whom? Newt ('I really loved my wife') Gingrich? No, I know. Mark ("Don't cry for me, Argentina") Sanford.
Neo-cons. Ya gotta love 'em.
(Time for Winter's daily "California gay bashing" post. Did you ever think that maybe Winter is really gay? I did... and I think he is. Not that there is anything wrong with that (a la Seinfeld)... except to all your Southern hicks who look to Winter as your god!)
I mean, look at the facts. You have a black President, a black Attorney General, and now... (I know it hurts) a Hispanic on the court... and a LIBERAL at that!
Yup. And since you don't follow developments in American history, let's review some other facts as well.
When Bush was president, whatever other issues one might have with him, there were two Secretaries of State, one a man and one a woman. Both black. There was a Secretary of Labor who was both a woman and an Asian minority. The Attorney General was hispanic. In addition, there was already a minority on the Surpreme Court but in the eyes of democrats they do not exist because democrats do not value diversity unless they are democrats. This is one of the things that keeps them clawing at Palin as well. The liberal women will not stand against the predatory destruction of a woman running for office unless that women is a democrat. I am not saying that much is not fair game, but much is not as well. No one is going to allow the comedians to refer to Michelle as a slut, for example or to make sexual inuendos about her children. Liberals will not stand against it though, because, again you only support democrats. Not minorities and women in general. Olympia and Susan Collins may play ball with Barry but they are not owned by him. He is about to see what that means.
Olympia Snowe voting for Sotomeyer? You mean as opposed to Barry filibustering the appointment of John Roberts and referring to his judicial opinions as "unAmerican." Rightly or wrongly so, Snowe and most Senators of both parties believe that elections have consequences and a president gets to nominate someone of his persuasion and in the end you must accept that unless the person is beyond the pale. That is what helps hold the Union together. That is not a philosophy that Barry believes in as evidenced with Roberts- all of his talk about bipartisanship notwithstanding. In addition, Olympia is one of Barry's worst nightmare's when it comes to healthcare. Because she does not function as a partisan hack on the nominee, and because she supported the stimulus, she has enormous cross-party cred with moderates. She is the primary reason/leader as to why a bill will not be passed this year and indeed if you read the paper today you will see her calls for delaying it. Al Franken doesn't have that kind of clout.
In addition, while continuing to point out that I come from a backwater, neo-con state you might note that both of our Senators are women. And my state was the first to have a woman as Senator (maybe second, not sure) and the first to have a woman run for President (Margaret Chase Smith). Again, none of those count because all of those women were/are Republicans and this violates the dem rule of who can advance and who cannot in this society. The dems think they own women and the minorities. Not all of them agree.
The title of your thread is "the world is coming to an end." Hmmm, why dont you tend to the world coming to an end in your state and I will tend to it in mine. No doubt California is ahead in that aspect as well, given the liberal wacko influence that has come home to roost.

Never said that, although I can see how you would interpret it that way based on your lack of familarity with the American policial system. At no point, have I suggested that a third party would win- only that it would be a major factor.
Obama won by six points - more or less, can't remember. In other words, a three point shift would have evened it. A combination of Barry sliding in the polls and a combination of third parties (both centrist and on the left) could siphon off several more percentage points even if none of those parties amounted to much.
Yes, I know the electoral college comes into play. Ask your buddy Ozone Gore whether a few votes matter or not even with the electoral system.
Most Republicans will concede that McCain was not much of a candidate. What that means is that "not much of a candidate" came within six points of the superstar. Unfortunately the economy became critical and McCain was on record saying he knew nothing about economics so people went with someone who also knew nothing about economics but was willing to act as though he knew everything. Not sure that will work next time around.
Barry is beatable. Not easily and most likely not but the idea that he is invincible is absurd. One screw up in the economy or with North Korea or Iran and he will be toast. In addition the libs dont like the fact that we are still in Iraq and will be up to our eyeballs in Afghanistan in the next election. In addition, people voted for Obama in a roundabout way to keep Hillary in the limelight. Hoping that she would be in the administration. Barry has effectivly neutralized, evicerated, and contained her now so that she is no political threat. On the other hand she will not draw any votes next time around either.
I will say what I said before Obummer was elected: Aside from the oratory, Barry's real power comes from the ability to promise people free stuff. When the time comes when there is no more free stuff to give out then we will see how popular he is. No lib is going to get elected in California these days by running around promising more free stuff, and that is the fate that Barry faces sooner or later. As they say in your beloved Southern states: "That dog don't hunt."

Funny how the libs don't like prejudice and bigotry unless it is their own prejudice and bigotry.
A long time ago Jerry Lewis was on the Carson show and he said something about how he was on a flight and "fulfilled a lifelong dream and flushed the toilet while over Mississippi."
Wow. My mind boggled at his statement and I remember it verbatim to this day. He simply dismissed a few million people of being worthy only to receive his Hollywood star sh*t. Can't say I ever thought too highly of that bastard after that statement.
Anyway, I think that is a good symptomatic example of where their minds are.

No lie there.
That fellow who heads up the Black Chamber of Commerce was on O'Reilly the other night. You know, the one who kicked the crap out of Barbara Boxer the other day.
He started making the point you are making to O'Reilly by saying that Boxer does not support minorities, she just supports liberals. He said that the way Boxer denigrated Condoleeza Rice when she was there for her confirmation hearings was truly disgusting and went on to say "Secretary Rice is a person that I would be proud to have my children and grandchildren emulate."
Heh.. I kid Moonlight about his man crush on Prince.
You have a schoolboy crush on Condi, don't you? Admit it; it's true.
Let's see now. If I am taking a cross-country road trip and I can choose from Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer or Condi Rice to come along with me, I think I could make that decision.
Probably would pass Al going by with Cindy Sheehan and Cynthia McKinney in his car. Can't stand in the way of love, man.
Spot on Winter, with one small disagreement.......
Rightly or wrongly so, Snowe and most Senators of both parties believe that elections have consequences and a president gets to nominate someone of his persuasion and in the end you must accept that unless the person is beyond the pale.
I would very much describe Sotomayor as beyond the pale, and wish she had received 1/10 of the scrutiny Robert Bork received. Video tape rental records anyone?
Having spent most of my life in the liberal loonie bin known as Maryland, and moved to the "neo-con" state of South Carolina I can tell you this: racism is far worse in the north than it is in the rural south, or the south in general.
Barry Hussein may not be all that beatable right now, but he is becoming more so by the day. My personal prediction is by mid 2010, he will wish he was as popular as Jimmy Carter was.
Im sorry, explain to me exactly how that would be racist? Thats a pretty serious charge, please elaborate.
"Barry Hussein" as a moniker for the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES? Come on guys, we know the code. The rest of us here understand your deep "sentiment" toward President Obama and we know that "barry hussein" is your slang for "boy." You use it as a term of derision, not endearment, and hardly respect.
Yeah, protest all you want, but we all see that those of you who use this term are the twisted neo-cons like Winter who hate the man far more than they hate the policy. We know where you are coming from. There is no need to pretend otherwise. Your racial sentiments come through loud and clear... even your brain-dead rural Southern hayseeds "get it."
Clinton was never called Billie Jeff, Kennedy was never called Jackie Fitz, Nixon was never called Dickie Millhouse, Bush was never called Herbie Walker, Reagan was never called Ronnie Wilson, Carter was never called James Earl. So tell me again that "Barry Hussein" is your term of endearment for the President. Yeah, maybe you will convince someone here... but it won't be me.

Yeh, "hussein" is code word for "boy". Hussein being a southern term referring to blacks as we all know. Thanks for pointing that alternate reality out to us.
Al, speaking of Barry Hussein, he really stepped in the doo-doo in Cambridge this week didn't he. The candidate who prided himself on not playing the race card and staying out of that polarizng fray slipped just a little didn't he by alleging racial profiling with no facts to go with it. The neighbors called the police and said some guy is trying to break into the house next door. Yup. That's some racial profiling right there. Maybe you can post some lyrics from Muddy Hussein Waters to help make your point as you usually do.
Speaking of Barry slipping a little, how is he doing in the polls these days? You can get back to me later on that if you need to think up something to say about George Bush.
Wow, Im speechless. My contempt and disdain for Barry Hussein has nothing to do with his skin color. It has everything to do with his love of big government and high taxes. The man will destroy the US economy if he has his way.
Oh and by the way, before you backtrack into what Im sure is one of your favorite arguments, ie. he is doing everything he can, he inherited this mess from Dubya (oh wait I dont use derogatory nicknames for any other president than Barry Hussein do I ? ), guess what? Im about to do something that will shock you. I AGREE. George Bush was a horrible president in terms of protecting the American economy. Thought being a social conservative was a neat idea, but completely dropped the ball on being anything resembling a fiscal conservative.
I lay the blame for our current economic situation on almost everyone who occupied the white house and congress for the last 10 years. That does include our current president.
Al is nothing more than a hate monger. Just ignore him.
Hmm. Let's see. You post from behind a cloak. So we should all take what you say as the truth... someone who does not have the balls to be identified. Yeah, works for me.
I tend to agree with you. I say the same things to a person's face as I post here. Everyone knows where they can find me. I either have balls or lack of intelligence. However, the choice to "uncloak" or not does not make someone right or wrong.
I've called you every name under the sun here and just because you know who I am doesn't make me right (although I am). I would still be correct if I was cloaked - and I mean about EVERYTHHING I ever post.
You would be just as wrong in your opinions if we didn't know where to find you.

That argument gets so old Al. Somehow you're a tough SOB for letting us all know who you are. I have my reasons and it has to do with compliance with my broker dealer. I know you don't understand that, but that's ok.
So here's to you tough guy. You really put me in my place. It doesn't change the fact that you're a hate monger.
