Don't worry about them, dlamberth. They're not interested in change for the better, just on maintaining the same sort of power base with the same sort of politics, and if it means tearing good people down to achieve that goal, so be it.It's a good sign that the number of unifiers has increased, isn't it?
At a rally here Thursday, Clinton was asked what she would say to Democrats so invested in her candidacy or Obama's that they would consider voting for McCain in the general election if their preferred candidate isn't the nominee.
"Please think through this decision. It is not a wise decision," Clinton said to applause.
"There are going to be some bruised feelings, whoever the nominee is. We are going to have to come together and remind ourselves that there is a heck of a lot bigger difference between either Senator Clinton or myself, and John McCain," Obama said.
If Obama can't, in November, stand by the criticisms he makes of Clinton now (and vice versa) then it's all just an ego-trip game to them. I've been led to think Obama stood for something different, I hope he's not just going to be more of the same wrapped up with pretty bows.
But he has never made the assertion that Mccain is betterr,
Trying to have it both ways, eh? It's like 'smoked, but didn't inhale' for the new millennium.Obama suggests he would have left his Chicago church if Wright kept preaching
20 years too late Senator.
This is exactly how I felt concerning McCain. The parties are asking us to be more loyal to them than the candidates they have put forth.? Why would I show 'party loyalty' to someone who has shown that their concept of 'party loyalty' is loyalty only to themselves?
So if I called Obama a typical black man, you would understand that I was not being racist in my remarks?
... Obama is white.
Good thing i saw Scribbler's name cause when the thread came up it looked like i got hijacked onto Stormfront. There seems to be a lot of miscommunication on the word 'racism.' It has more than one application and the biggest fallacy thus far is the presupposition of an even playing field.
Who gets to be just an American? European Americans? Why's that?There are African Americans,
Mexican Americans,
Asian Americans,
Arab Americans,
Native Americans, etc.
...And then there are just -
Americans..
Who does that?You pass me on the street
and sneer in my direction.
You Call me 'White boy,'
'Cracker,' 'Honkey,'
'Whitey,' 'Caveman,'
...And that's OK.
Enlighten us, I'm guessing it doesn't have anything to do with the low income...so why are the ghettos the most
dangerous places to live?
We all have Martin Luther King day. Or don't you think MLK did anything worthwhile? Is equality not worth celebrating?You have Martin Luther King Day.
Who does this? All non-whites?? And no whites do it too right?You rob us,
carjack us,
and shoot at us.
When I look at my race...white...I see a lot that we did to other races that I'm not at all proud of. One place my race has controlled are the Governments on the North American Contenant that have existed since even before Americas inception. My race, the race in control all of these years, clearly has not lived up to the demands of Jesus, that being Love and Compassion and helping those in need. Yet many like call ourselves a Christian Nation. My race, the European Race, had a chance to change things for the better by helping the poor in desperate parts of the world and by finding ways to make peace in the world. But what I see what we have done these past 200+ years does not make me proud. Has my race failed humanity? I don't know, I don't like to think so, but when I look around at opportunities lost I sometimes have to wonder.
The intraspection over race that has come up thanks to Obama is good for this nation to have.
