What’s interesting is that not only is it a comparison based on perceived leadership, but also race. She did diminish King’s leadership and his contributions to civil rights through her comment. Her comments afterwards were pure damage control.

One thing, though; the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in 1991, during the first Bush Administration, and the Family and Medical Leave Act was passed the same year. The Clinton administration was competent, barely, and I was proud to have voted for him twice, but without a Democratic Congress, he spent 6 years playing defense. And since he was responsible for losing congress…

Barack Obama can get us a landslide, a landslide that can move the country beyond whatever micro-proposals either Obama or Clinton feel obliged to put out during the campaign. Clinton will just piss people off, and we’ll spend the next 8 years trying to get a $23 tax credit for new shoelaces passed and she’ll try to tell us that its the second coming of the new deal. No thanks.

None of the Above WINS Detroit and Flint, the major urban areas of Michigan. Hillary wins on suburban white women.

Tell me how you can win Michigan when 40% of voters went out on a snowy day just to vote AGAINST you. Hillary has major problems. She is unelectable. People are starting to realize that. Obama needs to win Nevada–a tough thing for him to do. If he can, then the wheels start to fall off of Hillary’s bus again.

as for Magic Johnson, he has already stuck his foot in his mouth regarding Barack Obama…

More people need to vote for what they believe and not what the media or lame surrogates tell them what to believe. If more people threw off their votes to parties like the Greens (say 5%-15% of voters), the Democratic party would definitely take notice, especially since elections have been so close lately. Until then, some in the Democratic Party will continue to take your vote for granted while they insult you to your face. You never saw George W. Bush insult the evangelicals, even though he may have taken them for granted.

The Clinton campaign over the last month has been, at best, disgraceful. There are plenty of other reasons not to vote for Hillary Clinton, in addition to the lastest round of racebaiting. They do not deserve anyone’s vote (African-Americans, Latinos, Labor et al) for that matter.

I was prepared to vote for the any of the Democratic candidates until a month ago. If HRC wins the primary, she will definitely not get my vote. It is time to throw her entitled butt under the bus and let her see what it feels like. Let her kiss the “restoration” goodbye. If they lose over this, I guarantee the Democratic party will see to it that this nonsense does not happen again.

Love the blog, BTW.

This is why I’m against football and other collectivist sports. These sports diminish the individual and brainwash people into supporting collectives, universal health care, and the obvious next step: Nazi death camps for minorities and liberals. Oh, wait, the minorities and liberals are Nazis…or something… Anyways, I only play golf. Football, baseball, and basketball (tennis is iffy) promote socialism, which as we all know, is fascism. Black is also white. And up is down.

Good boy, you’ve done the required Party Reading for the day, Mr. Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism.” A loyal Comrade like you will rise HIGH in the Party.

You successfully painted the traitorous Democratic Party with a sufficiently broad brush to connect it to both Stalin and Hitler, two mortal enemies from the Last Great War. Truly a rhetorical and logical feat. Thank you Comrade.

My objection before was political. She and her husband have always been too quick to adopt GOP strategies and ideas when it suited them politically.

And as an African-American, between Ricky Ray Rector, Sister Soulja, welfare reform and all the other bullshit they’ve pulled on our community there was no way in good conscience I could vote for her.

She’s essentially a Republican. A moderate Republican perhaps but a typical Republican who is perfectly happy running over any black or brown person to get more votes.

(Wait till the western states open up you know she’s going to try to stir up a fight between blacks and Latinos)

This new shit has just made me angrier. I don’t care who the Republicans are running in the general election, I’ll vote for the Dems in the local and state elections and for president if that two-faced liar is the nominee I’m writing in Shirley Chisolm’s name a real feminist and a real fighter for change.

Fuck Hillary and Bill.

In fact I would go on to say all fair-minded people, regardless of their race or religion should refuse to vote for Hillary after the kind of campaign she’s run.

Beyond that, while I’m not a Republican, what would be so horrible about either McCain or Huckabee. I’m not a fan of Huckabee’s politics or the his talk about changing the Constitution to fit God’s standards(my parents came to the US to get away from that kind of thinking) but in his last election to Governor, he got 40% of the black vote, so clearly a lot of black people are familiar with him and don’t have a problem with him.

I certainly find him preferable to either Giuliani or Romney both of whom seem to support torture and expanding the curtailment of our civil liberties.

I wouldn’t vote for Hillary if she were the last Democrat on earth.

Having house negroes like Stephanie Tubbs Jones and Charlie Rangel go after Obama is making the situation worse. The Clintons both pandered for the black vote and taken it for granted as well. Not even “black brotha” Bill’s K-Fed impersonation will bring me over to their side.

But then, this is the campaign that hired Mark Penn, CEO of Burson-Marsteller.

I wasn’t ever going to vote for Clinton. It’s just getting too much like royalty to have it all in the family all of the time. She sure is making it easier not to vote for her.

I’ll vote green or take a hard look at Bloomberg. My bet is he jumps in if Clinton gets the nomination. Way out here on the left coast I don’t know much about the mayor of New York City.

If — if — Obama does not get the nomination, I think he may be hard pressed to accept a VP offer from Clinton; he would be effectively endorsing the very politics that he’s campaigning against.

But with each passing day, and with more and more people discovering what the Clintons are all about, he’ll win the nomination.

Barak Obama represents a change from the status quo. The status quo is Hillary and…you.

Please go back to the Ron Paul web page. You asked why the focus on Black, White, Black White. Hellooo.

That is what the discussion is about, and if you didn’t know it. This is a black blog with a black perspective.

Too many people died for us to be able to vote so IF Hillary were THE candidate, I would vote for her, otherwise we play into the hands of many of these people try to persuade us to stay home.

One way or the other we have to make the decision for our future and our children’s futures. Its not all about us but them and I mean ALL of our children. Whether we like it or not, we do have a choice and for me it could never be the selfish, mean-spirited, racist Republicans.

That said, he would be in the position to make a deal, but one that benefits him: one-term and I run with you. That would be one worth considering, but it’s also risky. If Clinton screws things up and is unpopular in 4 years, he’ll have a hard time winning. That’s why I think he should say no to the VP nomination.
