Hillary Rottencrotch Clinton @ MindSay 
Well, not quite. You see, I'm betting that Clinton does not concede. Though the contest is over, she's going to try to snatch the nomination away from its winner by trying to get the superdelegates to go against the vote, continuing to claim she won the popular vote though the only way that math works is, ironically, to not count the votes of caucus states (what happened to "we must count EVERY vote!"? Oh yeah, it doesn't suit you). Sometimes it's hard to understand senator Clinton over the sound of her flip-flops.
One thing I noticed about the Clintons is that they're both extremely conspiratorial. Back during the opening salvo of the Monica Lewinsky investigation, Hillary blamed everything on a "vast, right-wing conspiracy." Earlier this year, she blamed her failing campaign on "sexism" in the media. Bill Clinton was heard earlier last week saying Barack Obama gets other people to "smear" his wife. But I suppose those bat-shit insane Clinton supporters at the DNC rules committee threatening to vote for McCain if the committee didn't overturn the rules for their candidate shouldn't reflect on the Senator, huh? This is a common, resurging trend: The Clintons do not take responsibility for their actions, and instead blame their shortcomings on others.
I support Obama because he's an intelligent, eloquent leader. I believe he will be able to not only balance the budget, but be able to give low-income families access to affordable health care. I support Obama because he will put an end to government secrecy, making Washington D.C. much more transparent to the public. But overall, I support Obama because he has the best chance of keeping John McCain out of the White House and ending the Iraq War. I do not support Obama because I hate women, Senator Clinton. Sorry to disappoint you.
But, I wasn't in the room, so the voice of common sense was tragically absent. At any rate, I'm tired of this bickering as the Democratic Party slips further and further away from my desire to vote for them. So, I thought it might be a little bit of fun to have a nice breakdown of the presidential candidates you don't see on the news.
Bob Barr
Name: Robert Laurence "Bob" Barr, Jr. Age: 59
Birthplace: Iowa City, IA
Nominating Party: Libertarian
Career History: Represented Georgia's 7th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-2003 as a Republican.
Running Mate: Wayne Allen Root
Quote: "A man faithful to the constitution doesn't stop criticizing presidents when the letter after their names change"
Recently named as the Libertarian Party's nominee, Mr. Barr is a recent convert to the party. As a Republican in the House of Representatives, he supported the War on Drugs, the war in Iraq, the Patriot Act, and authored the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act which made same-sex marriages illegal in all states. However, he is most known for his roles in the Waco hearings and the Clinton impeachment.
Since leaving congress in 2003, Barr has become a vocal opponent of the Bush administration. During the 2004 election, he publicly endorsed the Libertarian candidate. In 2006, he announced that he himself was a "card-carrying libertarian," and has been working to undo many of the old laws he himself proposed and authored.
Barr opposes the Iraq War, gun control, abortion, and nationalized health care. He supports a restoration of Habeas Corpus for all prisoners of the U.S., strict border control, and strong national defense.
Chuck Baldwin
Name: Charles "Chuck" Baldwin Age: 56
Birthplace: LaPorte, IN
Nominating Party: Constitution
Career History: Pastor of the Crossroad Baptist Church in Pensacola, FL; Radio host
Running Mate: Darrell Castle
Quote: "...thousands of principled people will not be bullied into voting for the 'evil of two lessers' being shoved down our throats by the two major parties."
Baldwin was also a Republican at one time, aiding the Reagan and Bush campaigns in Florida. However, after deeming the 2000 Bush/Cheney ticket to be "too liberal," he broke with the Republican Party.
Early in 2008, Baldwin was a strong supporter of the Ron Paul campaign, writing many favorable columns including one entitled "Conservative Republicans Have Only One Choice." He is strongly anti-abortion, supporting congressman Paul's bill to overturn Roe vs. Wade and rule that unborn fetuses and persons under the law. His other stances also mirror that of the Texas congressman, though he is overtly religious in his campaigning.
Ralph Nader
Name: Ralph Nader Age: 74
Birthplace: Winsted, CT
Nominating Party: none (Independent)
Career History: Green Party nominee for president in 1996 and 2000. Reform Party endorsed in 2004. Many years of consumer advocacy
Running Mate: Matt Gonzalez
Quote: "For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull."
Ralph Nader became famous for his 1965 book Unsafe At Any Speed, a scathing criticism of the safety flaws in the Chevrolet Corvair and other models sold by General Motors Corporation. The book eventually led to the passing of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act in 1966.
Nader first ran for president thirty years later in 1996 as the nominee from the Green Party and garnered 0.71% of the popular vote. In 2000, he experienced greater success, getting on the ballot in 44 states, but with only 2.74% of the popular vote failed to garner federal public funding for the Green Party in the next election and become a viable to threat to any other candidate. There was, however, some backlash regarding his 2000 campaign. Some detractors claim that his campaign pulled just enough votes away from Al Gore to cause his loss, though others are quick to point out that Gore still won the popular vote, and it was ultimately the supreme court's decision anyway.
Nader's key issues include an initiative to fight corporate interests in Washington. He also promotes a single-payer national health care system, an end to the definition of a corporation being a "legal person," and a tax on carbon polluters and wall street speculation.
Cynthia McKinney
Name: Cynthia McKinney Age: 53
Birthplace: Atlanta, GA
Nominating Party: Green
Career History: Represented Georgia's 4th/11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993-2003, and 2005-2007 as a Democrat
Running Mate: None currently chosen
Quote: "Eight generations of African-Americans are still waiting to achieve their rights - compensation and restitution for the hundreds of years during which they were bought and sold on the market."
McKinney was the first African-American woman to represent Georgia in the U.S. House of Representatives. Though it seemed like her position in the House was entrenched, in 2002, she was defeated by challenger Denise Majette. It is claimed that this was a result of new laws allowing Republican voters to cross-over into the Democratic congressional election, skewing the results as revenge for her anti-Bush sentiment. She won her seat back in 2004. She won again in 2006, but with less than 50% of the vote, forcing her and her challenger into a run-off.
McKinney supports abortion rights as well as stem cell research. Additionally, her campaign promotes social welfare programs, stating that the funds for such programs are being "misallocated." She supports affirmative action, medical marijuana legalization, regulation of gas and electricity prices, and a repeal of NAFTA.
Brian Moore
Name: Brian Patrick Moore Age: 64
Birthplace: Oakland, CA
Nominating Party: Socialist
Career History: Member of the Washington DC Advisory Neighborhood Commission
Running Mate: Stewart Alexander
Quote: "...the two party political system, and our capitalistic economic system, are not addressing nor are they resolving the problems domestically nor internationally."
Moore holds a Master's Degree in Public Administration from Arizona State University. He has also worked in the Peace Corps and in the HMO/Managed care industry for over 20 years.
Moore's platform calls for an end to the Iraq War, withdraw of all American troops from abroad, cutting the U.S. military budget by 50%, public ownership of all natural resources, national health care, and an increase of health and safety regulation in the American workforce. He opposes fur trade, corporate farming, nuclear power, and private ownership of the internet infrastructure.
Clinton is in a far better position than Paul and Huckabee, and she admittedly has much more than a snowball's chance in hell to get the nomination. It makes sense for her to stay in, knowing that she'll likely lose, because at this point she needs to keep her base motivated, and above all, away from McCain's clutches.
Early on, she was the heavy favorite. She had experience and a former president on her side. She rallied conservative voters in a way that, face it, John Edwards and Barack Obama never could. Even Ann Coulter, the world's most fanatical neo-conservative harpie, was willing to vote for the "more conservative" Clinton.
So what went wrong?
- Lack of a consistent platform. When Senator Clinton started running, she was the experienced Washington insider that wouldn't need any on-the-job training...until Barack Obama made being an "insider" a bad thing. Clinton magically transformed into populist progressive midway through her campaign. All of the sudden she was the candidate of change. Unfortunately, it didn't fool enough people in time for Super Tuesday. Contrast that with Obama, whose message has been consistently the same from day one: we need to wrestle the power in Washington from the insiders and the lobbyists and return it to the hands of the people.
- Her husband and daughter. Some may call Senator Clinton "abrasive." But her personality deficits pale in comparison to the divisive rhetoric of her husband. President Clinton played right into Obama's "old politics" rhetoric. To a lesser extent, Chelsea Clinton, now a full-fledged adult and not an innocent child, drew some fire for telling someone who asked her if the Monica Lewinsky scandal hurt her mother's credibility "it's none of your business." Admittedly, this being a college campus and thus a breeding ground for pointless trolling, she probably had some genuine righteous indignation, but still she definitely could have handled it more diplomatically.
- Lying. No one can forget Clinton's outright fabrications of the truth regarding her trip to Bosnia. It showed that she lives in a world where the internet doesn't exist and Google doesn't give every Joe Six-Pack the ability to find video of every single thing you've ever done in your life. To be fair, we've all padded our resumes with things like "Sanitation Engineer" instead of "Garbageman," but Clinton's gaffe went beyond exaggeration and became complete and utter fabrication.
- Phoniness. The problem the Clintons have, along with most other politicians, is that they tend to back whatever's popular at the time and be against whatever's unpopular. Clinton voted for the Iraq War, and she voted for the Patriot Act. This was during a time when Republicans controlled congress and the Democrats knew they couldn't go against the then popular White House leadership and hope to keep their seats in 2004. Granted, Clinton has always been for health care, but quite frankly this wasn't the raison d'etre of the Democratic Party until SiCKO was released. I give the Republicans a nod here because at least they don't change sides when their position becomes unpopular. But there still has got to be a balance between doggedly sticking to a policy that doesn't work and being willing to say or do anything to get elected. When Clinton gives speeches, they're robotic, uninspiring. In public she appears scripted and disengenuous. Obama, on the other hand, has charisma and an authenticity in the way he carries himself. When watching one of his speeches, one gets the feeling that he has really thought about what he's saying. Clinton when giving a speech is, quite frankly, a clone of John Kerry.
Last night and early this morning, America witnessed the beginning of the end of the Clinton dynasty. Clinton supporters may deny it, they may still make the arguments about superdelegates and how the votes of the people don't actually matter; but the truth is a cold, cruel mistress, and it's invaded the Clinton campaign.
All eyes were on Indiana's Lake county, which contains Gary as well as other Chicago suburbs, close to Obama's home base. The county withheld all election results until the 11,000+ absentee ballots were counted, drawing out the contest into the late night and early morning. When it was all over, Clinton, the heavy favorite to win the state, squeaked out a bittersweet 2-point victory. Obama swept the other primary in North Carolina by 14 points.
Despite the slight loss in Indiana, Barack Obama won the night, increasing his overall delegate lead, even making up for his delegate loss in Pennsylvania, and making it more unlikely for his opponent to overcome it. Hillary Clinton failed to "close the deal" and keep her momentum from the Pennsylvania primary. She needed a big win in Indiana last night, and she didn't deliver.
It's interesting to look at the Indiana primary county-by-county. While Clinton won the rural, sparsely populated areas, Obama was the favorite in urban counties. While Clinton may have won some of the "big states," Obama won the "big counties" in Indiana.
Not even Michigan and Florida can save Clinton now. Even if they were counted, Obama would still lead in delegates and the popular vote. It's over, it's simply over for Hillary Clinton. I think I share many peoples' sentiments when I say "good riddance to bad rubbish." We no longer have the threat of a Bush or a Clinton in the White House, a shared dynasty that's been going on since 1981, longer than I've been alive. That gives me more hope than any Obama speech ever could.

Hi Everybody,
OK as all of you know I never post anything that is even the least bit political or controversial… yeah right!
OK for some time now I’ve been hearing pole-iticians of the Democratic persuasion, most notably that Muslim loving Nancy Polise, old cut-run & surrender Harry Reed, and that lying ass mother-fucking John Murtha, running off at the fricking mouth, and shouting shit like, “We Wont Be SWIFT-BOATED Again!”
You know… for what passes as leaders of this nation those mother-fuckers sure are ignorant Boo.
I mean come on now… don’t any of those pompous jack asses realize that to be “Swift-boated” means to be caught in a bold faced lie…, like that fricking idiot, John Kerry, was?
Don’t those fricking idiots realize that the end result of being “Swift-boated” is having your lies made public… again like that fricking idiot, John Kerry’s lies were?
swiftboat
To bravely expose the lies and manipulations of a powerful person seeking to achieve self promotion based on a falsified personal history and thereby prevent the success of his or her deception.
I don’t guess that they do. Anyway, I found this *pointing down* and blognapped it for your reading pleasure.
It would seem that her thighness, Bitchary Clinton, is the latest casualty of swift-boating, and it was a fucking comedian, with no political ax to grind, who was traveling with her on that infamous day of bullet dodging that nailed her nasty lying ass… hum? I wonder if Sinbad is a Democrat… do any of you know Boo?
HILLARY: SWIFTBOATED!
Wed Mar 26, 7:57 PM ET
Hillary is being "swiftboated"!
She claimed that she came under sniper fire when she visited in Bosnia in 1996, but was contradicted by videotape showing her sauntering off the plane and stopping on the tarmac to listen to a little girl read her a poem.
Similarly, John Kerry's claim to heroism in Vietnam was contradicted by 264 Swift Boat Veterans who served with him. His claim to having been on a secret mission to Cambodia for President Nixon on Christmas 1968 was contradicted not only by all of his commanders -- who said he would have been court-martialed if he had gone anywhere near Cambodia -- but also the simple fact that Nixon wasn't president on Christmas 1968.
In Hillary's defense, she probably deserves a Purple Heart about as much as Kerry did for his service in Vietnam.
Also, unlike Kerry, Hillary acknowledged her error, telling the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "I was sleep-deprived, and I misspoke." (What if she's sleep-deprived when she gets that call on the red phone at 3 a.m., imagines a Russian nuclear attack and responds with mutual assured destruction? Oops. "It proves I'm human.")
The reason no one claims Hillary is being "swiftboated" is that the definition of "swiftboating" is: "producing irrefutable evidence that a Democrat is lying." And for purposes of her race against matinee idol B. Hussein Obama, Hillary has become the media's honorary Republican.
In liberal-speak, only a Democrat can be swiftboated. Democrats are "swiftboated"; Republicans are "guilty." So as an honorary Republican, Hillary isn't being swiftboated; she's just lying.
Indeed, instead of attacking the people who produced a video of Hillary's uneventful landing in Bosnia, the mainstream media are the people who discovered that video.
I've always wondered how a Democrat would fare being treated like a Republican by the media. Now we know.
It's such fun watching liberals turn on the Clintons! The bitter infighting among Democrats is especially enjoyable after having to listen to Democrats hyperventilate for months about how delighted they were to have so many wonderful choices for president.
Now liberals just want to be rid of the Clintons -- which is as close to actual mainstream thinking as they've been in years. So the media suddenly notice when Hillary "misspeaks," while rushing to make absurd excuses for much greater outrages by her opponent.
Liberals are even using the Slick Willy defense when Obama is caught fraternizing with a racist loon. When Bill Clinton was exposed as a philandering, adulterous, pathological liar, his defenders said that everybody is a philandering, adulterous, pathological liar.
And now, when B. Hussein Obama is caught in a 20-year relationship with a raving racist, his defenders scream that everybody is a racist wack-job.
In the Obama speech on race that Chris Matthews deemed "worthy of Abraham Lincoln," B. Hussein Obama defended Wright's anti-American statements, saying:
"For the men and women of Rev. Wright's generation, the memories of humiliation and doubt and fear have not gone away; nor has the anger and the bitterness of those years. That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table."
So in the speech the media are telling us is on a par with the Gettysburg Address, B. Hussein Obama casually informed us that even blacks who seem to like white people actually hate our guts.
First of all: Watch out the next time you get your hair cut by a black barber over the age of 50.
Second, Rev. Wright's world wasn't segregated.
And third, what about Wright's wanton anti-Semitism? All the liberals (including essence-besplattered Chris Matthews) have accepted Obama's defense of Wright and want us to understand Wright's "legitimate" rage over his painful youth in segregated America.
But the anti-Semitic tone of Wright's sermons is as clear as his rage against the United States. Rev. Wright calls Israel a "dirty word" and a "racist country." He denounces Zionism and calls for divestment from Israel.
In addition to videos of Rev. Wright's sermons, Obama's church also offers for sale sermons by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, whom Rev. Wright joined on a visit to Moammar Gadhafi in Libya in 1984. Just last year, Obama's church awarded Farrakhan the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award, saying Farrakhan "truly epitomized greatness."
What, pray tell, is the legitimate source of Wright's anti-Semitism? I believe Brother Obama passed over that issue entirely in his "conversation," even as he made the obligatory bow to Israel's status as one of our "stalwart allies." Why does crazy "uncle" Wright dislike Jews?
Will liberals contend that these remarks were "taken out of context"? Maybe Wright's church was trying to say that Farrakhan isn't great when it said he "epitomized greatness." Who knows? We weren't there.
Can liberals please educate us on the "legitimate" impulses behind Rev. Wright's Jew-baiting?
OK, so now what? Well I’m hoping against hope that someone will come along who can swift-boat that chipmunk looking McCain…, and that fucking Muslim in Christian disguise Obama.
