Don't Taze Me, Bro! - 22 Feb 2008 22:29 GMT Barring Obama does or says something that just goes beyond silly then kiss it goodbye for Hillary.
I am in Texas. I hear the voices and the word on the street. Hillary is done. Obama will win Texas and he will easily secure Ohio. Superdelegates are flocking to him now.
It is an Obama vs. McCain race and I suspect McCain will do his typical (about face) and become dirty in desperation. Obama is the next President.
I am speaking strategically. Honestly, I wish we had a better choice. Unfortunately, these are the a.s hats we are stuck with.

How have Democrats betrayed Clinton? There wasn't any type of contract with them.
The Democrats will decide who will run on their platform for office. It is up to Clinton to make herself relevant to the Democrats, not the other way around.
We don't owe Obama or Clinton a thing.

Personally, I think Bush is very smart in some respects, but doesn't have the ability to take in new information and come to good conclusions based on it. In this sense, I think Bush is quite Dumb.
I respect Bush for giving up alcohol after he felt it was hurting his life. If one wishes to attack Bush, there are enough stupid things Bush has done, like decrease the US's support of science, decrease the oversight of drug companies by the FDA, Bush's environmental policies, his support of a war where the vast majority of the world were against it, his failure to respond to an obvious risk with millions of people buying mortgages they could not afford, and his choices for attorney general.

The Bush family is not "Texan..." Bush himself was not born in Texas.He was born and reared in New Haven, Connecticut. In fact, technically... Bush spent more of his life outside of Texas than in Texas.
Daddy Bush was born in Milton, Massachusetts and Prescott Bush was born in Columbus, Ohio... and so forth...

Never heard of this claim before but it is what I thought. Pres Clinton did a stellar job, but time changes and we do need someone very new such as Obama. I think both Ms Clinton and Obama are about equal in most issues, but Obama has what her husband has: a charismatic public figure. Win against Ms Clinton is tough, the rest against McCain is a child play. Americans want changes, deep changes, taming GOP once and for all, remove them from congress and let Green Party or others take over, and taming excessive gov spending and channel resources to where it matters. America can't afford to have very opposing Dem and GOP who dominate US presidency because they just undo what other do previously.

Remember. the DNC is just like a caucus. Obama won't gain the nomination until it's announced at the convention.

What you hear on the street is not necessarily what someone else hears on the street in their neck of the woods. Kinda like me (upstate NY) saying what I hear on the street... would not necessarily what one out in the western part of the state or down in Westchester, or out in Queens may hear. The contest between Hillary C. & Barack O. is certainly looking closer than was originally thought, though. Last night's debate was pretty much an even deal, IMO. I'm okay with either one snagging the win & being the nominee.

I do think either Hillary or Obama will be the next president. Don't think McCain can outmatch either.
> I am speaking strategically. Honestly, I wish we had a better choice. > Unfortunately, these are the a.s hats we are stuck with. Whereas I am happy this time that I'm still undecided between H. Clinton or B. Obama - both strong candidates. Each one has their wekensses & strenghths, but with each one their strengths win out over their weknesses. And except for the fine points, they're really quite close re: various issues. The Democrats put forth a solid filed this time around, & winnowing down to the final nominee has therefore become a long, slow process.

It is for various reasons that I do not think McCain can win. Everything from his looks, his age... to his previous stances. Many conservatives will not show up because they do not believe he is conservative enough.
Also, no matter if true or false, many in the nation want to see some kind of change, regardless of what that change is. I personally see the reason for the Iraq war, but much of America is tired of it and wants it ended. McCain making comments like there will 100 years in Iraq, does not do him much good.
There are many reasons I cannot see him winning barring a miracle and I am speaking only on strategic terms. I do not want any of the candidates still running as our President... but you cannot be happy all of the time.

Don't think [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > that aside why do you think Hillary or Obama will be the next president? > Why do you think McCain cannot outmatch either? I have a great deal of respect for McCain. He has shown outstanding leadership ability when he was in the Navy. However, I don't think his policies are appropriate. He, like Clinton, voted to let Bush go into Iraq. And he backed the war far more than Clinton did. I also think his economic policy of continuing the deficit is not a good one, either.
I didn't think Bush could outmatch Kerry and Edwards, either. But he did. My opinion is that Americans do not go out and seek accurate information about what is going on. In March 2003, only 35% of Americans correctly perceived that most people were opposed to going to war with Iraq. In May 2003, 22% thought Iraq used chemical or biological weapons against US troops. In Sept. 2003, 24% of Americans thought the US had evidence of WMD in Iraq. And, last year, 33% thought that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the WTC attacks. (Iraq never used chemical or biological weapons against the US, the US found no WMDs, and Hussein never was personally involved in the 9/11 attacks.)
Americans seem to be duped by the news of the moment, but rarely look at the big picture when choosing leaders. IMHO, it is because of this that Americans didn't choose a leader because he was a good leader, but whatever the whim is.
Likely, relatively few Americans will look closely at the issues and candidates before voting this November. That applies whether Obama, Clinton or McCain wins.

People who listened to primarily Fox news had at least 1 false belief about the Iraq war while less 1/4 of those who listened to NPR or PBS had a false belief about the Iraq war.
My reference is "Getting Duped" by Yvonne Raley and Robert Talisse in the Feb/March issue of "Scientific American Mind." p16-17.

Gee, I wonder why? Maybe because of the civilized dialogue which exists on the Lehrer Report? Maybe because of the accurate reporting on Frontline? But most likely due to the education and intelligence level of the watchers/listeners of PBS/NPR vs. Fox. Ya think?

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Google is your friend: NPR +bias Got mostly hysterical "NPR sucks"-type hits. OTOH Wiki, which can't be any worse than them, said:
"In a December 2005 column run by NPR ombudsman and former Vice President Jeffrey Dvorkin denied allegations that NPR relies heavily on conservative think-tanks.[13] In his column, Dvorkin listed the number of times NPR had cited experts from conservative and liberal think tanks in the previous year. However, according to MediaMatters, the numbers he reported indicate an overwhelmingly conservative bias. His own tally showed that 63% of NPR experts from think tanks came from from right-leaning organizations while only 37% came from left- leaning organizations." http://mediamatters.org/items/200512150013
Another one of the calmer hits, FAIR - Fairness and Accuracy In Media, said:
"Despite the commonness of such claims, little evidence has ever been presented for a left bias at NPR , and FAIR's latest study gives it no support. Looking at partisan sources--including government officials, party officials, campaign workers and consultants--Republicans outnumbered Democrats by more than 3 to 2 (61 percent to 38 percent). A majority of Republican sources when the GOP controls the White House and Congress may not be surprising, but Republicans held a similar though slightly smaller edge (57 percent to 42 percent) in 1993, when Clinton was president and Democrats controlled both houses of Congress. And a lively race for the Democratic presidential nomination was beginning to heat up at the time of the 2003 study.
Partisans from outside the two major parties were almost nowhere to be seen, with the exception of four Libertarian Party representatives who appeared in a single story (Morning Edition , 6/26/03).
Republicans not only had a substantial partisan edge, individual Republicans were NPR 's most popular sources overall, taking the top seven spots in frequency of appearance. George Bush led all sources for the month with 36 appearances, followed by Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (8) and Sen. Pat Roberts (6). Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Secretary of State Colin Powell, White House press secretary Ari Fleischer and Iraq proconsul Paul Bremer all tied with five appearances each.
Senators Edward Kennedy, Jay Rockefeller and Max Baucus were the most frequently heard Democrats, each appearing four times. No nongovernmental source appeared more than three times. With the exception of Secretary of State Powell, all of the top 10 most frequently appearing sources were white male government officials." www.fair.org/index.php?page=1180

The Appalachian Mountains, which were once higher than the hymalias were eroded away beginning millions of years ago and up till the last Ice age. There is NO coal below the red-shale and the red-shale is above the bed rock.. The coal lies in about seven different veins, generally hundredsof feet below a valley that has coal, not all have coal. While the mountain curve up and over the coal veins curve down and up between the red-shale outcroppings

Erosion did not stop with the ice age.
In Western PA, the Main Bituminous Field covers a huge section of western PA, as well as parts of WV and OH. The coal is in pretty flat beds.
In Eastern PA, the coal is folder more. As you can see in Fig. of this publication from the Commonwealth (http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/topogeo/education/coal/es7.pdf), the coal beds are folded and broken more in eastern PA.
If I am incorrect, explain why the are blowing the tops of the mountains in WV and other places in the Appalachian mountains. You're making an argument of why they shouldn't be mining at the tops of the mountains. Yet, they are finding coal there.

Again, you're wrong. I would say you were mistaken, but when the information is handed to you, and you don't either read it or you are unable to comprehend it, mistaken is not the correct word.

Harry Nadds above in this thread may speak for hissef and his mutt pissing on the garbage can in the alley behind the Navasota Club but what's the poop with the pop of nearby Flatonia or, likewise, of Shiner, the next town down? Threatening to beat up an outnumbered stranger, now what kind of Southren hospitality's that supposed to be, anyway? Besides being a declaration of intellectual bankruptcy and, being that this's the vasty spaciousness of the Usenet rather than FTF in the bar, really a .sig for Walter Mitty's idiot son.
Then along comes one Kevin Cunningham to harry ol' Nadds for what he ain't done in the passage quoted, namely, trying to incite hatred against "jews" [sic] and "African-Americans" or, as they are more commonly known in the back of the bus, niggers. Whereas KC's thumbing his nose at presumably poor white folk who live in trailer parks. So KC belongs to the River Oaks Country Club over there by Westheimer Road or does that have too many "Repugs" like Ron Paul, for example?
Duty calls me shrilly this Sunday morning but I'll stay to preach just a bit over these two buffoons, if this label may be stuck on here WADRT or "With All Due Respect To" the parties involved: Whoever did first say "hate the sin and love the sinner" ? I'd really like to know. 'Tis a bit hard, I believe, to nail down the _locus classicus_ for this homely injunction. The word "sin" has a highly subjective meaning for many believers of various sects, like shaking your johnson more than three times at the urinal or eating pork chops. Boy, we got billions against the chops! Of which me, I'm very fonda myself.
So we should love everbody including even the very worst like --now, Dear Reader, what names would _you_ stick in here? I'll go with the Clintons, Bushes, Sulzbergerz (yo, there in Flatonia, think "NYT"), Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger of Israel and like that, dig ? Usually that phrase "tough love"s a sign of a definite turd in the soup bowl, spiritually speaking. Comes up when the bozo Prod preacher's telling the parents to lock up their teenager in the loony bin and dose him with Thorazine to keep him off dee evil Weed. This here at hand be the only kind of case coming to mind where "tough love" fits true. Lock up all these murdering sons of bitches so we can show 'em how we love'm.
In the last two decades alone the Demublicans, under the misguidance of the Jews, have foully slain some 9,000,000 [nine million] people in Iraq and Afghanistan alone, leaving out Lebanon, Palestine, Colombia, McClennan County and the rest of the Planet. That's according to our best available estimates. This proposition utterly serious and requires great personal strength to wrap one's mind around it. Got integrity?
Of the national groups in this country, the Jews are by far the most likely effectively to support such atrocities whereas the blacks and Latinos oppose them and normal alias "gentile" whites in the middle, with many bought off by the Pentagon's money machine. ....................................................................

Don't >> think [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > that aside why do you think Hillary or Obama will be the next president? > Why do you think McCain cannot outmatch either? McCain isn't conservative enough for many conservatives, he doesn't represent enough of a change from the present administration - esp. re: the war in Iraq which many people want to see end, he doesn't have the charisma nor the sort of "let's make things better!" image the others do. He managed to come from behind - but then the conservative/Republican field of candidates was on the mediocre side; the others weren't strong contenders to begin with. Whereas the Democrats tend to feel this time around that not only do they have one strong possibility, they actually have two who are worthy of being the nominee. (And many had felt three - when John Edwards was still in the mix.) And though it's not a major sticking point since he appears to be in good health with lots of energy, there's McCain's age; he's considerably older than the others - a possible second term in the future would bring him up to ~80.

She calls her "Hit-ler-y", like some of you do. She apparently has one a lot of research and says Hillary is the *last* person anyone should vote for in November.
I'm still shocked. If a "flaming liberal" like my daughter isn't behind her, what does that say for her standing in the party? Not much.

Some people don't like her because she's a women. And some people don't like her because she aggressive. Some people don't like her because she is an aggressive woman. And some people don't like her because they don't like her husband.

My husband and I were discussing how having Obama in the White House might help our international image, which has taken a real drubbing. How? The hostile (terrorist) governments may be more open to a man of color. This country has always been lead by white men; maybe Obama will be better accepted. Hillary may not, because some of those countries do not consider women as competent leaders. Keep in mind that when hostages are taken, blacks and women were released. I can't say why that is, but there ya go.
Having said that, voting for Obama based solely on his race, is just as bad as voting *against* him for the same reason. I haven't decided who I'm voting for yet, but as an independent, I'm mulling them all over.

However, going back about six generations, you will see that his great, great,great grandfather was Falmouth Kearny, who was born in Ireland and arrived on the ship Marmion in 1850. The family settled in Virgina (where it is now WV) and eventually moved out west. He is also a decendent of the McCurrys, Mackeys and Dunhams.
Obama is also of Irish descent. Stanley Obama was also of Scottish royal descent according to Wikipedia. His mother's family has been in the US long before the Revolutionary War.

If doesn't when they were first called "Native Americans." What matters is that Native Americans refers to peoples who were here prior to the arival of Europeans.
Mike hunt - 24 Feb 2008 01:16 GMT Which "Indians" are Native Americans, the one that were here before it was called America or after? If their grandparents came from Asia are they still not Native American as well? If only those born here before the settlers from Europe, then those born after would not be natives either, right? Are all those born in a country not natives? Should my grandchildren or I be natives of Africa or America, after four generations? Why should my grandchildren still be classified as black when eight tenth of their ancestor are white? The odds are most Americans that have had relatives in the US for more than 75 years have a black ancestors. Why are they not black? What business does the government have in my ancestry in any event?

Your answers are as close as your mouse: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_americans.
You ask some good questions on why some people are considered black rather than white. Obama is half white (with Scottish Royal blood and Irish blood); Tiger Woods half-black and half Thai. Yet most people consider Woods black, even though looking at his face, it is easy to spot the Thai influence.
The US gov't requires some organizations and government groups (e.g., public schools and colleges) that get grants to collect ethnic information for their statistics. In addition, the gov't, private organizations and public organizations have programs that are aimed at underrepresented minorities and women, including Native Americans. When one fills out an application to a college or for a job, there is no penalty for choosing the "decline to answer" option, however, unless the program is aimed a minorities or women.

I get why they say he's "magic" since he appears to be able to get votes out of nowhere, but that phrase emphasizes his race, which shouldn't be a huge issue. If he's full of empty promises, then *that's* what should be attacked. Even I don't get why he's doing so well. I haven't seen anything impressive about him, except his phenomenal popularity, so I'm with ya on the substance issue.
Also, since his race is being a focus, if we elect him, and he's totally screws up, the haters will have more ammunition to say why blacks shouldn't be in office. That really bothers me, so I hope that if he's chosen, he's up to the challenge. Of course the same haters probably wouldn't admit that many past presidents were terrible, either. I think Hillary would face the same thing - let a woman be in charge, and look what happened, instead of realizing that she may be better than many of her male counterparts. I'm not stumping for her, but I still don't think she's any worse than a lot of them.

At this point, Natalie, it doesn't matter if he or Hillary wins. WHEN, not IF, either of them screw things up even more than they are already, there will be ammunition for the right.
I honestly hope the Dems win this time. Not because I want one in the WH, but McCain ain't much better. I figure four years of Hillary or Obama will be quite enough "enlightment" for supporters.
I'll agree with your assertion about all of them. I can't recall a group of more lukewarm mediocrity during any primary year of the past. It's got to be a fact that the best chose to not run.
If not, we're in bigger trouble than I thought.

Why? Nine out of ten points he's your conservative. Likes guns, likes to cut taxes, etc. Whitless I think you are typical media follower. You should try real hard to stop watching CNN and MSNBC and think for yourself. Unless you are a stealth liberal, which I think you are. You're not fooling anyone.

His record in the Senate is horrible.
He is unable to think well on his feet.
In short....a horrible choice.

Look at her Health Care plan from 16 years ago. They finally told her to Shut Up and go back to her office.
Mrs Clinton insisted on having her office in the Office Wing, instead of the Residence. That didn't go over very well. (Sorry, stolen from the first episode of "Commander In Cheif" ;)
"They" already had their bite at the apple. The best they did was move the good jobs to India. Enough Bush/Clintons, thank you.

Honestly, Cathy, I just can't muster up a shred of respect for either of them. He's blown too many opportunities.
She can't handle interview where her handlers haven't pre-screened the questions.
