God don't let this be the ultimate Dem fuck up.

In a year they could pick a hobo off the street and get him elected, they give us a black man and a disliked woman, WTF. I have no problem with having a black man or woman as president, but is America really going to do this? How do they always fuck up? Why can't America elect on the issues instead of the personality like a stupid popularity contest? In social programs advocates vs. feed the corporations bigots - the dems would always win. As long as it was a WMA, they could dress up a homeless man and win this year.

    im not sure i follow. obama will probably gain more votes due to people feeling guilty or paranoid of being called racist than he would lose to actual racists ;) hillary... she's hated for being a clinton. i don't think she's seen as a woman. jst a clinton. she doesn't stand a chance in a general election.

    The ultimate fuck-up will be when the "smokey room" of the Democrats finds a way to "reward" Hil-Billy with the nomination despite the people voting for Obama....it will be just like 2000 again. :D

    Let me get this straight. a "hobo off the street" is capable and worthy of election, but a Black guy isn't? Did i just read this? Please tell me i didn't.

    Maybe two years ago...but after the performance of the Democratic congress....not likely.

    I partly agree with this. What I see is this: whoever wins the democratic ticket SHOULD easily become the next president. Watch out for the republicans attempting to hijack their third straight term in the white house.

    I'm saying People are way to optimistic to think anybody but a WMA will get the presidency. Sad, very sad, but I fear this is true. I would love to think we've progressed, but I'm not so optimistic.

    maybe i would have said that a year ago, but not now.

    Bush's legacy may be that he was so universally hated that he got a liberal minority or woman elected president.

    Obama would beat McCain.

    I watched the Texas Democrat Debate last night. Not sure what to think. I never liked Hillary, but don't really care for Obama either. John McCain sucks as well. One day, the NY Times endorses him (McCain) - and now they are "accusing" him of faulty play. Go figure. Who knows???? I'm a Social worker (and a registered Republican....oxy moron....I RE-ALIZE!) I also voted for Charlie the Anti-Crist, too, for Gov of Florida. Go Figure. Obviously my decision-making skills suck when it comes to politics. I don't really care for any of the Presidential Candidates. What does one do with that? Please don't answer. (Rhetorical Question).

    You're totally right. Those record breaking turnouts in the Democratic primaries are just a fluke. The fact that Democratic contests have only been won by a black man or a woman is probably just a fluke. The fact that the ultimate white male candidate, John Edwards, lived in Iowa basically for 4 years with a very populous message, didn't win a state and dropped out before Super Tuesday is a fluke. A black man winning easily in the deep south is probably a fluke as well. Yeah, you are probably right.

    Are you sure about that?

    Obama vs McCain and Repubs WILL find a to make him win. Not much in this country has changed and isn't going to in the near future, especially if we continue to let it happen.

    Perhaps you should visit my favorite political news site, TPM Election Central. They have poll results that indicate Obama can beat McCain in quite a number of states.....whereas Hillary only ties with, or loses to, McCain.

    Also, pollster.com is a good website for studying up-to-date poll results.

    You do realize where the majority of black people live in this country???

    P.S. Not a fluke.......I could round-up 25 Obama supporters for every one Clinton or Edwards supporter round these here parts.....and Obama won Alabama handily.

    This might be so in Primaries however when it gets down to it and it's about electing a President things changes quickly. I have a hard time seeing that trend continuing for the Presidency.

    We shall see, either way that person has a HELL OF A JOB in front of them. I've never seen so many people struggling to make ends meet while a much smaller % is doing quite well.

    Obama will be the next president. Believe that.

    NO THIRD TERM!!!!!
    Further back and forth a wave will break on me, today...
  • PearlJainPearlJain Posts: 565
    If Obama wins - he will never see a SECOND term let alone a FIRST! Unless he starts defining some of his policies. I know many on this "board" have a college education - some with Bachelors, some with masteres, and some with PhD's or a licensure of some kind. So with college in mind - and I don't know about everyone -what is the deal with Obama's cut on college tuition if one will perform some type of community service? JESUS! All of this sounds great - in theory! If I would have been 18 or 19 without a care in the world. But I was in my 20's going to college, working, and raising a family. Where in the hell would I have squeezed in community service, too? I'll tell ya where - when I actually completed my degree. And have been doing it ever since. And I'll tell all of you younger people - It's not all "wonderful and life is a peach, and helping man to succeed can- in most instances, more than not be a huge slap in the face, and life for some, is just downright UGLY. Period. The end. One can attempt to change the world - but not everyone in the world is willing to change. I am not trying to be a complete "buzz kill." Just live and learn.

    i think im a serious contender for the most pessimistic and cynical person on this board, and even i dont think this is anywhere near the case. this will not be an issue.

    you wouldnt have. tough shit. just like it's tough shit that most of the middle class earns too much to be eligible for any sort of college loan, but nowhere near enough to actually pay tuition.
  • PearlJainPearlJain Posts: 565
    I think we agree? I owe tons- still- in College loans. I'm not angy about it by any means. Truly enjoy giving people a "hand-up" -when in fact some prefer a "hand-out." Never believed that until I gew up, got a job, and became a Social Worker. Progress comes one tiny baby-step at a time. Therefore - I have absolutely no confidence with Hillary, Obama, or McCain. Looks like I will end up having to vote for the lesser of all evils. At this point 0 not quite sure whom that would be.

    i bet you had to walk uphill 2 miles both ways in the florida snow to get to your school too?

    no, we dont agree. i think anything obama can do to reduce the cost of college tuition is a good thing, including linking it to community service. just becos you wouldnt have been able to benefit from it doesn't make it a bad idea. i wouldn't have benefited either. i had a full ride to college.

    That's the key thing. Americans don't vote based on issues. That's exactly why you shouldn't stress about the election. As long as it's a popularity contest between 2 major party candidates, it's not going to change anything.

    Barack Obama is not worthy of my vote. Do you supporters actually know what he stands for or do you fall for the 'Change' message?

    And to think he supports the DREAM Act which will have taxpayers paying for the tuition for children whose parents broke our laws by entering our country illegally.

    But you and I still have to pay.
  • geniegenie Posts: 2,222
    haha, yeah why don't they just put a child up for a candidate?

    the sort of child that grew up by him/herself and never knew what society is.
    at least they'd get someone honest, not tainted and someone who's got real heart

    Yeah, you're absolutely right. Fuck those kids. What we should really do is force them into slave labor sewing sweaters for the Gap. Snot nose little fuckers. They can all go straight to hell.
