John,

Obama supporters don't so much think, as they emote. That is why they do not need the details, only the feel good slogans. Useful idiots can be expected to emote, that does not require the presentation of fact, policy, or any deep ideological stance. You aren't going to get them anyway for Obama, except in moments when he slips and lets the abundance of the heart flow out of the mouth. It takes discernment to identify it and translate it.

Note what messages appeal to useful idiots. Note what they will say when asked why they support Obama. This is the new America, influenced by five second sound bites, hopes, wishes and dreams palaver, and devoid of any real objective analysis.

Why? Folks are too self absorbed. They pick their candidate like they buy their designer water. If the packaging looks cool then it must be good or better for you...

..and the pied piper played the shallow tune over and over again.

"Obama supporters don't so much think, as they emote"

I live in faculty housing on a college campus. There are signs for Obama in almost every window. Besides blacks, Obama appeals most to those with advanced degrees. So despite the noise to the contrary, most thinking people in this country are behind Obama. While I don't have a college degree, I think I'll be voting with the P.H.D.s this time around. We tried the "ordinary guy you'd like to have a beer with" for the last 8 years and look where it got us.

For those who believe Clinton is the right choice...they forget NAFTA and the lost jobs. They forget just two weeks ago the Colombian Trade Deal, the Dems and Nancy Pelosi would not sign, yet MARK PENN and BILL CLINTON took cash...big cash...to lobby it into Washington. Whats not in the news YET..is Bill also took cash from CHINA Alibara INC. Who posts "MOST WANTED LISTS" of Tibetan Activist, collaborating with mainland China on censorship, while Hillary says "Pres Bush should boycott Olympic Games". DO NOT TRUST HER...They are scandal ridden, crooks, and will never win in the General. Republicans WANT Hillary to win...cause they can beat her! Please Pennsylvanis...think smart...do not be bitter!

Obama should not have to constantly defend himself over everything that Clinton raises against him. He is running to represent America, not Clinton. She comes off as being childish. It's time to put the Rev. Wright issue to rest. Rev Wright, unlike Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney and President Bush, left college and joined the marines. He served two years and later became a navy corpsman where he graduated top of his class and later became a pulmonary technician. He served on the team of doctors who operated on President Lyndon Johnson and received three letters of commendation from the white house for his service. Obama showed strength by not dishonoring his pastor.

The Obama campaign has tried to deflect attention from Goolsbee by
making false attacks on Hillary Clinton. Several members of the Clinton
administration and Clinton biographers independently confirm that she
was critical of NAFTA in the early 1990s.

*DAVID GERGEN:* "I was actually there in the Clinton White House during
the NAFTA fight and I must tell you Hillary Clinton was extremely
unenthusiastic about NAFTA. And I think that's putting it mildly. I'm
not sure she objected to all the provisions of it but she just didn't
see why her husband and that White House had to go and do that fight.
She was very unhappy about it and wanted to move on to health care. So I
do think there's some justification for her camp saying, you know, she's
never been a great backer for NAFTA." [David Gergen, Anderson Cooper
360, 2/25/08]

*DEE DEE MYERS:* Q: And you know, Dee Dee, the first thing that came to
my mind is, "Come on." What is she going to do?... Meyers: Right, and
she did express - I was there too - and she did express reservations
about it, as she said.[MSNBC, 3/20/08]

*MICKEY KANTOR:* "In August in 92, we had to make a decision," Mickey
Kantor the former U.S. Secretary of Commerce, Clinton adviser, and free
trade advocate recalled for the Huffington Post. "President Clinton had
to make a decision as governor, whether or not he would support [George
H.W. Bush's] NAFTA, and of course he did... Hillary Clinton was one of
the great skeptics in the discussion as to whether he should do. So she
was always skeptical beginning in 1992 and onward." [Huffington Post,
2/14/08]

_Clinton Biographers:_

*SALLY BIDELL SMITH:* "Liberal Democrats, including Hillary, opposed it
primarily because it could take jobs away from American workers. But as
an advocate of global economic cooperation, Bill was drawn to its
free-trade philosophy." [Huffington Post, 2/14/08]

*CARL BERNSTEIN:* "'Bill,'" he recalled Hillary Clinton as saying, "'you
are doing Republican economics when you are doing NAFTA.' She was
against NAFTA. And if she would somehow come out and tell the real story
of what she fought for in the White House and failed in a big argument
with her husband she would end up moving much closer to those [John]
Edwards followers." [Huffington Post, 2/14/08]

Hey Illinois voter, you're an idiot. You've fallen for the Washington Post's GAG article about Obama supposedly flipping off Clinton. IT WAS A JOKE partially written to see how many fools like you would pick it up and run with it as "truth". Not surprised you're voting for Clinton, with her fairy tales about Bosnia I guess you'll believe anything---like she's really against NAFTA.

If you think Barack Obama with little or no experience would be better than Hillary Clinton with 35 years experience.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with no experience can fix an economy on the verge of collapse better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) led the greatest economic expansion, and prosperity in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with no experience fighting for universal health care can get it for you better than Hillary Clinton. Who anticipated this current health care crisis back in 1993, and fought a pitched battle against overwhelming odds to get universal health care for all the American people.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with no experience can manage, and get us out of two wars better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) went to war only when he was convinced that he absolutely had to. Then completed the mission in record time against a nuclear power. AND DID NOT LOSE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE AMERICAN SOLDIER. NOT ONE!
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with no experience saving the environment is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) left office with the greatest amount of environmental cleanup, and protections in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with little or no education experience is better than Hillary Clinton. Whose ;-) husband (Bill Clinton) made higher education affordable for every American. And created higher job demand and starting salary’s than they had ever been before or since.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that Obama with no experience will be better than Hillary Clinton who spent 8 years at the right hand of President Bill Clinton. Who is already on record as one of the greatest Presidents in American history.
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think that you can change the way Washington works with pretty speeches from Obama, rather than with the experience, and political expertise of two master politicians ON YOUR SIDE like Hillary and Bill Clinton..
You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you think all those Republicans voting for Obama in the Democratic primaries, and caucuses are doing so because they think he is a stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary Clinton.:-)
Best regards
jacksmith... Working Class :-)
p.s. You Might Be An Idiot!:-)
If you don't know that the huge amounts of money funding the Obama campaign to try and defeat Hillary Clinton is coming in from the insurance, and medical industry, that has been ripping you off, and killing you and your children. And denying you, and your loved ones the life saving medical care you needed. All just so they can make more huge immoral profits for them-selves off of your suffering...
You see, back in 1993 Hillary Clinton had the audacity, and nerve to try and get quality, affordable universal health care for everyone to prevent the suffering and needless deaths of hundreds of thousands of you each year.:-)
Approx. 100,000 of you die each year from medical accidents from a rush to profit by the insurance, and medical industry. Another 120,000 of you die each year from treatable illness that people in other developed countries don’t die from. And I could go on, and on...

Recently, she explained that she was against NAFTA, but that Slick was for it and well, gosh, she was part of the admin so she had to support him too- that's a real big deal with the clintons, you know?- the loyalty thing?- however, he's been out of office for 8 years- she was elected to the senate because she was "qualified"- not because people felt sorry for her because of-you know- during that campaign she promised to deliver 200,000 jobs to New York- She didn't. Since 2000, NAFTA took 35,000 jobs from New York- get it clear- New York employment down by 235,000 since 2000. And what decisive action have we seen from the "ready to rule on day one"candidate? She's had 8 years AS A LAW-MAKER to DO something. She did nothing- At least Slick made a million trying to take more of your jobs.

Jacksmith - do you spend all night going around Pennsylvania posting the same nonsense? I am now convinced you are either on Hillary or McCain's payroll.

Either way, your entry is full of apalling inaccuracies, fallacies and erroneous facts, which the facts will show up for what they are - mischief.

1. "Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries... Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain."

BFOX News/3.3.08 RUSH LIMBAUGH URGING REPUBLICANS TO VOTE CLINTON
We need Obama bloodied up - vote for Hillary to keep it going

Boston Globe/3.17.08 MANY VOTING FOR CLINTON TO BOOST GOP
About 100,000 GOP loyalists voted for her in Ohio, 119,000 in Texas and 38,000 in Mississippi. Some want to prolong the bitter Dem battle, others believe she would be easier to beat in the Fall...I don't think McCain can beat Obama

You were 100% wrong, Jack. Plus, before you crow too much about Hillary's ability to win "the big states" - take Texas. She ended voting with a 3% lead, 1,459,814 votes. Deduct the 119,000 Republican votes, her real vote base then was 1,340,814. Obama had 1,358,785 LEGITIMATE votes. Technicall, he won both the Texas Primary and the Caucus!!!!!!!

2. "Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals??? And lost by much smaller vote margins. Her delegate count is higher than Obama’s"
RealClearPolitics.com/4.17.08
CLINTON OBAMA
POPULAR VOTE 12,689,293 13,689,293 (+827,308)
WITHOUT ILLEGAL
REPUBLICAN VOTE* 12,604,985 13,689,293 (+1,084,308)
Obama is the clear and away frontrunner in the popular vote, whatever Hillary erroneously may be heard to claim. And when the 257,000 of illegal Republican votes are deducted - it's an FEC violation to switch parties in order to vote for influence - his lead is over 1M votes.
TOTAL DELEGATES 1,507 1,646 (+139)
SUPERDELEGATES 256 (+25) 231
Obama has a 139 lead in total delegates, and since January, 69 superdelegates have signed with him, vs 3 or 4 new to Clinton, to narrow her lead to only 25. I think that's a pretty articulate move on the superdelegates part.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/...

Totally wrong again, Jack. I'm afraid you are hallucinating because, as you can see, the evidence supports the fact that Obama is the irrefutable choice of the people AND the delegates. As for electoral votes, they are not currently a deciding factor in the Democratic Primary, total delegates are and Obama is ahead. Clinton, sensing her loss and desperate to win, is trying every scheme she can to steal a win, including suggesting to the DNC that they change the current deciding factors, making a vehement case for the electoral voyes to decide. Probably won't happen, but the link below will take you to an interesting discussion and computation which again shows Obama winning against McCain, and Clinton losing against him.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/...

3. "Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton."

Hillary Clinton horribly mismanaged her campaign, spent all her money upfront and didn't plan properly for the back end, assuming her early nomination was inevitable. Short-sighted. the link below will take you to the site where all campaign finaces are recorded.
As you can see, Obama's total campaign chest is $193,600,733 and Hillary Clinton's is $169,003,120 - the difference is +$24,597,613. I am no math genius, but I can divide and multiply. Sorry, Jack - Obama doesn't have a campaign chest that is 4 or 5 times bigger than Clinton's. That's a lie.

Check your facts before you make bombastic and offensive statements - otherwise you look stupid.

There is a far-reaching scandal brewing for presidential hopeful Sen.
Barack Obama, thanks to a radio talk show host based in Oregon.
Syndicated talk host Laurie Roth's revelations make the news story about
Obama's relationship with a racist, anti-American pastor look like
child's play.
