Rikyrah....that guy Jonathan gets on my last nerve too!..e.I know he's probably a repug,but he always has something negative to say about Obama. Why is it that when we finally have a decent black man representing this country his own people try to bring him down? Don't get me wrong,I'm not saying that just because he's black that all black people should rally around him.But the man is intelligent,he's good for America and he cares for all people,so the fact that some of his own people have turned their backs on him..totally breaks my heart and makes me sad! sometimes I think this country doesn't deserve Obama,they deserve people like that skeezer Hillary or that war monger McCain...this country is F----- anyway!

If Hillary is given the nomination even though Obama is ahead in all areas...everyone that voted for him should boycott the elections.Hillary and McCain are just alike anyway.Hillary as far as I'm concerned has acted like a republican through out this race,so why not treat her like one. She will never ever get my vote,my conscience won't allow me to vote for her. Boycotting is our best tool and a strong way of sending a message to all those in power.....that our voices will be heard!

To hell with the democratic party...I'm voting libertarian or any other party that's available. This shit has got to stop, and until the democratic leaders, both black and white realize that african americans wont tolerate their bullshit things wont change.
I know the stakes are high this election cycle. George Bush has fucked shit up on every level. But what better time for black people to make it known loud and clear to the democratic party and this country that our vote wont be taken for granted.
I'M TIRED OF BEING TAKEN FOR GRANTED, AND I'M TIRED OF PLAYING THESE BULLSHIT GAMES! I'M THROUGH WITH SETTLING FOR THE LOWEST COMMON DENOMINATOR IN POLITICS. I WANT THE BEST AND BRIGHTEST THIS COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER AND IF I CAN'T HAVE THAT THEN FUCK'EM!

Hillary dishes dirt and disses the most loyal group of the Democratic party, and she's the best candidate to beat McCain in November? (Lol)
No wonder so many are planning to stay home in November. That's going to be the real showdown! http://manchestersquare.blogspot.com

Pansy Johnathan bugs the heck out of me too rikyrah! He's a brown nose. He says what the White Folks are thinking but can't say out loud. Everybody knows you have to be brown nose to even get near a television screen. The black guy from the Washington Post bugs the heck out of me too. I think his name is Eugene Washington or Bob Herbert. Either way they all get on my last nerve. This is who we have representing us, or not.

Why does that Pansy Johnathan With the Horn-Rimmed Glasses from the Washington Post bother me so much?

Some pundit's ask disingenuously, Why Can't Barack Close the Deal? The TRUTH OF THE MATTER, is that Barack is fighting TWO opponents, Clinton & the Republican Machine: Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan, Wolf Blitzer, Fox News and they fight a lot dirtier, louder, harder than "light"! They fight with lies, distortions, brainwash and money. Barack is doing something new and necessary, though slower because a loud voice gets a lot more attention than a sane, compassionate, low-speaking one, like Barack's. The new Republican's and Clinton's talking point is why cannot Barack put it away. The answer is he is fighting a two-headed Giant, the Clintons and the Republican Machine -- it is a Giant and the assault goes on 24/7 starting with Morning Joe and continuing all day with Fox News! Then there are the swift-boat TV adds and false emails, he is being blanketed with -- and then they smile to themselves and ask smugly, "Why can't he put her away? Knowing the dark answer to this question and the dark seed they hope to plant into the minds of the people who are unable to think for themselves and are influenced by fear and ignorance. But humanity's heart is opening to the light and the energy of goodwill. May be this time, we can overcome these awful forces of destruction to mankind.
In Michael Moore's endorsement of Obama, he states "I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, "Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for 'spiritual counseling?' THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!" But no, Obama won't throw that at her. It wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be decent. That's why I would vote for him if Michigan were allowed to have an election."

Did you all see the second Ad?
That one was far worst than the Reverend Wright Ad.
Brace yourselves for the onslaught

The damage to Obama is minimal. Let's be real: every black person in the world is going to come out for Obama. The ad's not even going to register.
Not to mention that-again-it's not a presidential primary ad.
No PR spin from the NC GOP is going to convince me of something other than what I can see and digest with my own eyes and mind.
I see through spin.
It's win-win situation for McCain, so long as the Republicans think that voters in the remaining Dem primaries are brainless and can't see/think for themselves.
It's high-risk, high-reward politics. But if it backfires, it backfires hard.
D.
Going out on a limb here....but the press release that the NC GOP put out concerning the "Extreme" ad does a good job of explaining the background behind it.

Lastly, Barack and damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. He has met and surpassed every bar but he still isn't good enough for the white establishment. If he criticizes Hillary he looks like a Mandingo abusing Missy. If he doesn't criticize her he looks weak. He can't win for losing.
That's a wrap.
But I still think he will prevail against all odds. He's tough and smart and determined. And let's not forget shrewd.
When white people underestimate Black people, the joke is always on them.
And Mo Dowd needs to shut up.

How about instead of cutting up Hillary how about cutting up the media?
Annoy the media, elect Obama.

Here's what's buggin' me today: 1) The MSM keeps saying, "He can't win the white blue collars. He can't close the deal with them." The deal is that these white blue collars ain't gonna vote for no ni99er. When you ask them, that's what they'll tell you. But the MSM won't admit that these folks are voting race. It's not his fault they're racists. I don't think there's much he can do to get those folks. And it's not like they're going to vote Democratic in November. They're going to go for McCain!
2) I'm tired of folks saying that if Hillary is the nominee we should stand by her in Democratic Unity and if you don't, then you're an idiot. That's bullshyte. When she drags Barack through the mud and race baits, by extension, she's doing that to me and as Rikyrah says she's setting the standard for how any future black candidate will be handled. Additionally, any Democrat that uses Republican talking points against THEIR OWN PARTY MEMBER to win at any cost does not stand for unity. If I voted for her, that would mean I condone everything she's done.
Black people have supported this punk-azz party too damn long. Who stood by them when those same blue collar rednecks abandoned them? Black folk. Who votes for them no matter what? Black vote. They think they can steal the nomination from Barack and black people will just willingly go along la-dee-da in the name of party unity? I don't think so. They need a big time wake up call. Jesse and Al already told them they got something for 'em if they do.
And Barack--nut up. Unfortunately, these folks don't understand class. And I hate to say it, things will be worse in the next few weeks. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't, but your gang's gotta figure out a way to cut her. I thought your surrogates could do it but they're punk azzes too. You might have to dig up some of her dirt and get some crud under your fingernails.

Hold up, anon. I can't let you talk about Roland. He is defintely holding it down. He can't help that he has to make sure he gets it in b/f they cut him off! You know as soon as he starts nailing it they will run out of time! LOL!

First of all, Hillary's didn't actually "win" the Democratic primary because of the RepubliKlans that crossed over and voted for her in order to keep stiring the pot so the focus won't be on Bu$h and Mc$ame as Bu$h.
Secondly, it's the media. The media thinks we are stoopid. Hillary Clinton was all over TeeVee before the primary. Barack not so much. Hillary gets to articulate her position. Barack's position is filtered and spun by the media. I turned on the TeeVee first thing this morning to hear Joe (dead secretary found in office) Scarborough telling the lie that Michelle Obama said "she really didn't love America". CLICK
The media is throwing gasoline on the fire in the hope that Democrats explode. Has anyone noticed the lack of diversity among the TeeVee Talking Pundit Heads? Soledad is wishy washy. Roland Martin holds his own but sometimes gets tongue twisted trying to talk so fast. Jamal what ever his last name is it just the opposite to laid back and measured. I say put Father Pfleger on TeeVee. We need some effective TeeVee Talking Pundit Heads PDQ!
Lastly, Barack and damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. He has met and surpassed every bar but he still isn't good enough for the white establishment. If he criticizes Hillary he looks like a Mandingo abusing Missy. If he doesn't criticize her he looks weak. He can't win for losing.
Is he skittish around her because he knows that she detests him and he’s used to charming everyone? Or does he feel guilty that he cut in line ahead of her? As the husband of Michelle, does he know better than to defy the will of a strong woman? Or is he simply scared of Hillary because she’s scary?
