Sorry, Barack Obama asks for no special consideration for being black. Why should Hillary get it for being a woman?

I had figured Bill getting caught in delicto flagrante would be her best chance for a bump in the polls.....how's she going to keep conjuring up tears for sympathy for the rest of the race?

Freeper_Madness:

Hey Mighty_Dog, how's it going?

Vote for her, or she'll get mad.

TheMutineer: I had figured Bill getting caught in delicto flagrante would be her best chance for a bump in the polls.....how's she going to keep conjuring up tears for sympathy for the rest of the race?

She doesn't have to do it for the rest of the race, just until Super Tuesday.

/doesn't get to vote until March 11th
/vote won't count by that time, just might stay home

Ah, the mean ol' media is picking on Hillary. Yes they are. Yes they are.

/said in my best baby-talk voice.
// So it comes that Man, the coward, when he gathers to confer
With his fellow-braves in council, dare not leave a place for her
Where, at war with Life and Conscience, he uplifts his erring hands
To some God of Abstract Justice-which no woman understands.

And Man knows it! Knows, moreover, that the Woman that God gave him
Must command but may not govern-shall enthral but not enslave him.
And She knows, because She warns him, and Her instincts never fail,
That the Female of Her Species is more deadly than the Male.

For Sally Bassett, 46 and a stay-at-home mum, the glimpse of raw emotion was the turning point. She had been impressed by Clinton, but she added: "What struck me was that she had such a deep concern about the direction the country was going in. It just struck a chord.

Christ. This woman reproduced too. What a shame.

Crying! There's no crying in politics

Thankfully, every poll I read has Obama winning easily in SC, and hopefully that momentum will help push him past Hillary's BS crap.

After NH, you may want to take the polls with a grain of salt.

That brief flash of feeling probably saved Clinton's campaign,

I have a hard time believing that, women are not as fickle as people may think...I love how everything about her campaign is concentrating on gender, the unflattering pictures of her wrinkles, any show of emotion. I haven't made a decision yet about where my votes going, but it is becoming clearer to me every day.

If the Media treated Hillary the same way they treated Dubya, Fred, Huckabee, Obama or Edwards - she would have won presidency by now.

So am I to believe that emotionally reactionary and politically short-sighted middle-aged housewives are gonna have a direct hand in the downfall of the United States?

You fail Oprah!

Well, I was going to vote for Obama ...


But this article makes me believe that since I am a white male,

my OBLIGATION is to vote for John Edwards.

He's a white male too, you know.

fark that article and fark the women who vote based on gender and "score card" politics.

Ditto.

Yeah... that's true. Hell, after both elections involving bush I should take polls worth a grain of salt. Hasn't the pattern been though, that whoever wins 2 of the first 3, (Iowa, SC, and NH) they become the nominee?

they had him winning in NH, too :/

/obama '08

I've got such a sick feeling in my stomach when I think that so many people would base their vote on her almost shedding a tear.

Komplex: If the Media treated Hillary the same way they treated Dubya, Fred, Huckabee, Obama or Edwards - she would have won presidency by now.

That would be impressive, considering the election isn't until November.

//If she gets the nom, guess I'm voting Republican. Because with Giuliani losing horribly, the remaining Republican candidates are actually less like Bush 2 than she.

Sucka_Fish: they had him winning in NH, too :/

You know, I hate to bring this up. I really do, because Obama himself has been such a class act with regards to race. He doesn't constantly throw it in your face and call you a bigot if you don't vote for him....

That said, SC has a really large black population, and they will (in all likelihood) go his way.

Hillary's best voting blocs are: a) old white women who desperately want a President with a vag before they croak, and b) retards.

Old white women aren't as large a segment of the population in SC because, unlike NH, SC actually has some small measure of racial diversity. Also, most of the retards in SC will be voting for Republicans, so that erodes her support as well.

I honestly do hate discussing the primaries in these terms, because race should have nothing to do with it....but it does. Welcome to America.

NOTE: The above wasn't intended as a "ZOMG!! AMURKKKA IS TEH RACISTS!1!!" diatribe. I'm just trying to be realistic about this.

picturescrazy: I've got such a sick feeling in my stomach when I think that so many people would base their vote on her almost shedding a tear.

Bush won the Presidency because he seemed like a good guy to have a beer with (never you mind the fact that he's a recovering alcoholic).

Tell me you weren't expecting more out of the American public....

Poopspasm: You know, I hate to bring this up. I really do, because Obama himself has been such a class act with regards to race. He doesn't constantly throw it in your face and call you a bigot if you don't vote for him....

I'm with you, but seeing as how Hillary is making this a "vote-for-me-based-soley-on-my-immutable-traits" game, I'm willing to look the other way on whatever race-related horseshiat Obama needs to pull in SC to keep that vile coont from ever setting foot inside the White House ever again.

Sucks it has to be this way, but to end the Bush/Clinton dynasty? So be it.

She's just trying to fire back in order to brush her racist remarks under the rug.

Shaggy_C: She's just trying to fire back in order to brush her racist remarks under the rug.

Racist remarks? Damn, what did I miss this time?

meh. they're just proving that women are overly emotional and make emotional decisions. if we just run a marathon of mediocre tv shows on most network channels on election day we'll be fine

Ace Frehley's Ghost: Racist remarks? Damn, what did I miss this time?

Well, she came out and said just like MLK, Obama is just a dreamer and that the civil rights movement would never have gone anywhere if not for Lyndon Johnson...then Billy Bob came out and said that Obama's candidacy is just a 'fairy tale'. It's kind of pissed off blacks. _A LOT_

This tells me that half the women in this country are idiots who will pick the leader of teh free world on a meaningless showing of emotion, real or not.

Poopspasm: Hillary's best voting blocs are: a) old white women who desperately want a President with a vag before they croak, and b) retards.

Where the hell did you get your statistics that claim that?

because race should have nothing to do with it....but it does. Welcome to America.

I saw nowhere in that article where race was even mentioned.

WOW.

Just... WOW.

I can't believe that I missed that one. Isn't she supposed to be the calculating one? If she can't do any better than this, she doesn't deserve the nomination anyway.

fiddlesissy: I saw nowhere in that article where race was even mentioned.

It doesn't have to. If Obama is elected, all you're going to hear about for the first 6 months is THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OMG!!! Mark my words. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy but that's going to get annoying.

Who the fark CARES if it will annoy you?

It will have massive historical meaning, bring pride to the entire country, and will cause joy for millions of other people, something it sure seems like you would wipe away to avoid your minor annoyance.

Got any other selfish assholeish things to say?

Kanyon: It doesn't have to. If Obama is elected, all you're going to hear about for the first 6 months is THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT OMG!!! the LIBERAL LEFT will not let you talk about BiraqHusseinObama because he's black. But...

You're going to hear the same thing if Hillary gets elected,"oh my god the first woman elected President!"

Coming from the very people who would complain that it is wrong to view someone only as a gender or a race.

From the sounds of things, they're voting for her STRICTLY because she has no apparent penis tucked in between her legs.

Seems very logical and straightforward reasoning, for a woman.

Ace Frehley's Ghost: I can't believe that I missed that one. Isn't she supposed to be the calculating one? If she can't do any better than this, she doesn't deserve the nomination anyway.

Worse yet, she said it on FoxNews of all places...maybe she's trying to appeal that audience or something, but I would think she should save her 'conservative values' for the general election...

Relax, Francis. You're way too sensitive.

Agred. But the post I was replying to regarded race.

I don't understand why she just doesn't come out and say, "Okay, I'm a Republican... deal with it."

Agreed*

This Amp Goes To 11

So am I to believe that emotionally reactionary and politically short-sighted middle-aged housewives are gonna have a direct hand in the downfall of the United States?

I was simply making a comparison, like i said, I am not even close to making a decision on a candidate.

because a real republican would not believe the community need surpasses the individual.

that's not to say that the ones who claim to be republican are any different from clinton.

I'm sensitive because I wouldn't be annoyed by the turn-off-able media talking about a black man in the oval office?

Methinks you didn't think your clever post all the way through, Francois.

Because Hillary has no self-respect, just a desire to win.

Basically the female Rudy Giuliani.

It's true. Millions of people will watch and listen to national tv and radio programs in which people call in to talk about how they are not allowed to say anything because he's black.
