Didn’t you say the other day you thought minorities voted overwhelmingly Democratic because they wanted more free stuff? Can you even fathom how insulting that would be to a minority Democrat? What do you suppose is a better way to win votes from a demographic – demean them en masse as welfare queens, or represent their interests in your platform?

Changey, every white person in this racist society is tainted, certainly of Biden’s (and my) age. Not sure you have the maturity to understand what I’m talking about, but one never knows.

Biden once made a supposedly innocent joke about convenience stores and Indian accents, harmless, but… This isn’t vicious, white-supremecist stuff, just patronizing, sloppy, culturally-conditioned, relatively benign racism. But as a Veep, Biden’s advantages far outweigh these lapses …as did Obama’s grandmother’s good qualities outweigh her stereotyped fears of strange black me.

I answer for Oliver in case he doesn’t want to waste his time.

What it this “conservatism” I keep hearing you chirp about jmcann? Smaller government? No. Less intrusive government, thanks to FISA and wire-taps? No.

Honestly, you mention “conservatism” like there’s a group of Republicans in Washington who actually practice it. They don’t.”

Jaim…..no shit. part of the reason his approval rating is in the high 20’s. Thing is, between McCain and Obama, McCain is much more conservative that Obama is, and his selection of Palin has solidified my vote.

And OW, since your convinced that it’s a racial ideology, (WTF?????) explain to me how the major demographic changes that have ALREADY occured haven’t resulted in a Democratic stranglehold for the last several decades. This country is pretty much split 50/50 still.

Like I said, don’t count your chickens before the eggs hatch. I’m confident that in the future as many of these incoming groups assimilate, they too will vote conservative. Again, it’s not a racial ideology, and not everyone is as race-obsessed as you are.

You have you own biases and racist tendencies, and I don’t even think you see it.

Me? I want smaller government. But just as importantly, I want a government that _works well_. Hire smart people. Hire dedicated people, not ideologically motivated appointees. And do your fucking job.

I’ll admit that Conservatism has some merits as a political ideology. Question is: Who’s a true Conservative? Close as I can tell, it was Bill Clinton, who managed to make both our economy and our government work reasonably well, cut back well-fare, and made Americans optimistic about the future.

Back to your sippy-cup jmccann. You lose yet again. You keep thinking it’s 2002 or something, but it’s not. America gets the best of both worlds in Obama — competence and optimism.

Conservatism isn’t a racial ideology as you think it is. And many of the demographics you think you have wrapped up for an eternity are more socially conservative on average than all of us evil white people.

As people move here, assimilate, and become frustrated with oppressive taxation and big government, they’ll start voting conservative. It’s happened before. The irish for example, hated and mistreated when they moved here, voted heavily for democrats, and now most irish-americans lean conservative. Hmm….

Don’t count your chickens before the eggs have hatched. Not everyone votes out of racial loyalty, OW. And there’s nothing genetically ingrained in white guys that makes them not want to pay for universal health care.

Your own ignorance and bigotry is astonishing sometimes.

Oh, please tell me.

Go Obama / Biden 2008!

Hey Ursula, kiss my white ass, you racist piece of shit.

“His presidential campaign is the Titanic. His idiot mouth has killed it. The audio of Biden’s comments are out and they don’t change a thing. What he said was racist, offensive, and not representing any of the qualities of the Democratic party or America.”

These our house folks, but they need to consider something, like Colin Powell they too can be thrown under a bus.

Foreign policy experience, diplomatic experience, woman of color smart and talented, all these atributes, beg the question, why didn’t the McCain camp choose Condileesa Rice?

Frank is the kind of person locked into his own “analysis” (and unable to process outside information) who will probably tell us for weeks how Democrats are going to lose. Trust me, I heard it in 2006 when he said the same thing. He was wrong then, and he’ll be wrong in the future.

The Democrats never understood why until 1972 , when Nixon cleaned McGovern’s clock in 49 — count ‘em – 49 states …

Still want to talk about a Southern Strategy — or did you mean “Lower 48″?
