Big Ol' Smitty

So my question is... Does this consolidate the "anti-Hillary" vote and help B. Hussein Obama OR Does this consolidate the "white" vote and help Clinton?

It was posted here before.

You had to be searching for this kid.

Racisim is destroying the intire USA.

I find it rediculous and agrivating as well!

OH MY BAD I DIDNT KNOW THEY WERE USUALLY BUNCHED TOGETHER THANX

You're right. If Clinton wins CA, it's probably all over but the crying. I can't imagine a situation in which Edwards, given the campaign he's run and given how hard he's gone after Clinton, wouldn't support Obama. I've also read rumors that Edwards is all but a lock to be Attorney General in an Obama admininstration.

OH SO IN A DISCUSSION OF SOCIAL SECURITY YOU PULL OUT A NUMBER THAT REFERS TO MEDICARE, SOCIAL SECURITY, AND "OTHER PLANS," WHATEVER THE HELL THAT MEANS, ONLY TO INFORM US THAT THE NUMBER YOU WERE USING TO FEARMONGER ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY ACTUALLY DOESN'T REFER TO SOCIAL SECURITY. YOU ARE STARTING TO STRIKE ME AS A DISHONEST TROLL.

That's the point. The contest isn't going to be close. When was the last time we didn't know the candidate going into the convention? I'll give you a hint- it was around the time of the McGovern-Fraser Commission. Look at these polls. Clinton has massive leads in Massachusetts, New York, California and New Jersey. In fact, in the five states with the most delegates, Obama has a lead in one- his home state of Illinois. As it stands right now, the contest won't be close, and the Florida delegates may be seated with no great uproar. Maybe you're right, things can change rapidly. Clinton had a huge lead in her backyard state of CT, and a poll came out today that had Obama tied. The SC ass thwomping plus the endorsement of the Kennedy clan (in addition with the Obama campaign moving its focus to the Feb. 5 states [look at the results in Iowa & SC]) could produce movement in the polls. Keep in mind, you need a majority of delegates to win, not just a plurality. And many states give out delegates proportionally, not winner-take-all style (so that Obama is currently undefeated in terms of delegate count). So even if Clinton has a big Super Tuesday, as long as BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is competitive, he can remain within striking distance and the race could go on past 2/5.

Marvin has as much right to post here as anybody else. And we have the right to call him out when he's peddling bovine excrement.

Holy shit, Matt. That's...that's just... Wow.

Remember what I said about honesty, marv? Read the speech. The applause lines were regarding the troop surge and funding bills for the war. He was using "the troops" as a cudgel to whack the heads of those who disagree with him on those two issues.

So the candidate with the overwhelming advantage in name recognition beat the candidate who didn't campaign in the state at all. What an amazing win! If the Democratic contest is close, and the delegates from Michigan and Florida put Clinton over the top, the Democratic party would rupture. I would actively campaign for McCain if Clinton pulled that shit. Clinton's attempt to spin this as some big win is pathetic.

sounds like a socialism concept to me Clinton's economic literacy in that NYT article almost makes me want to vote for her. I never said raising the tax was socialist. I got distracted by that part of the article talking about economic equality, which is the socialist part. Clinton is not calling for seizure of the means of productions or proletariat revolution, marv, so let's cut the red-baiting and argue honestly. Perhaps you should dial down your daily dosage of Glenn Beck. Furthermore, economic equality is not solely the purview of socialists and communists. Economic equality has been a theme in liberal thought dating back to 19th century philosophers like Mill and Bentham.

According to the Social Security trustees report from aught 5, SS can pay full benefits through the year 2042 with no changes whatsoever. The Congressional Budget Office says that it can do the same through 2052. Even after those dates, Social Security will always be able to pay a higher inflation adjusted benefit than what retirees receive today. Those FRIGHTENING multitrillion-dollar debts (honestly, I don't know where you got $53 trillion--the trustees report puts the system's shortfall over the "infinite horizon" at $10 and a half trillion) translate into a deficit equal to 0.7 percent of future income--presented in a simple, easy to read format in the Social Security trustees report. The Social Security "crisis" of '05 was completely manufactured, solely to bolster Bush's attempt at privatization.

Farewell, brave angel.

Marvin, you're dumb and you don't know what you're talking about. Sorry, had to lay it out there. A. The Democrats didn't cheer because Bush was peddling his "surge is working" horseshit. B. An op-ed from the Moonie Times doesn't cut it, bro. Show me the Clinton policy paper outlining her proposals for 90% Eisenhower era tax brackets. C. Stop being a tool.

The room is spinning.

Kinetic is the Saint-Simon of message boarding.

All of the Democratic plans (Clinton, Obama, Edwards) contain cost containment mechanisms. For example, see here. Warning: BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S website

I feel kind of queasy for even addressing the load of crap that you're peddling here, Marv. But it's just so groovy that you picked probably the most efficient (Social Security has minimal administrative costs amounting to less than 1 percent of annual revenues) and popular government program in the country as your model of evil gumbint socialist bureacracy. Thanks for the custom member title, btw.

I like how they keep getting progressively weirder looking as you go down the line They honestly can't think they look cool. I wonder if the dude in the pink realized when he was getting dressed up for the prom that he'd eventually be laughed at by thousands of people around the world on the internet. What a douche. Pink suit jacket? Check. White slacks? Check. Creepy orange skin via fake tanning shit? Check. Blownbackbyafuckingrollercoaster hairstyle? Check. WATCH OUT PROM, HERE I COME!

EHME is now Freddy Mercury.
