After losing 13 states in a row:

Hillary: "I don't believe it"
Yoda: - "That is why you fail."
Yoda: - "..."
Yoda: - "..."
Yoda: - "..."
Yoda: - "I'm sleeping with Bill."

Yaaaarrrghhher-in-chief.

As I see it, he's part of the problem. As head of the DNC, he should already be in there telling everyone to stop turning this into a trainwreck.

Not that anyone would listen to him...

Eat its own head is a new term for you???? Must be a local term. Imagine someone thrashing around while trying to get their mouth around their whole head knowing the whole time that the action will kill them. To me that is a humorous image. Stick, ass, remove it.

its amazing he's gotten this far with his past. He gets a pass because he's black and we're all too afraid of being called racists. there is not a chance in hell any white candidate who attended a church for 10 years and made friends with a preacher like him spewing racism and hatred would have a 33% chance of being the next pres.

Yeah, can't say I've heard that one.

I understand that (sorta), but what does it mean, and how does it relate to the subject at hand? What behavior of the Democratic party makes the comparison apropos?

Stick, ass, remove it.

I'm just asking the question.

It's not a trainwreck, though.

Just because everyone in the country is impatient and wants to elect a new president as soon as possible doesn't mean the Democratic Party is in crisis.

When did Bill Clinton clinch the nomination in 1992 -- June, was it?

Also, I don't remember things being this stone-cold divisive.

The GOP have been courting the Christian Right since Reagan and it hasn't hurt their chances at being elected. Maybe Obama's preacher just needs to bash the gays and arabs more.

I don't remember the Democrats having two actual, viable candidates in any primary in recent history, though, either. It could as easily be a sign of strength for the party as it could for weakness.

And 1992 didn't have a vicious Hillary Clinton behind in the count, desperate and prepared to plunge the party into a bloody civil war rather than cede...

Thrashing around trying to kill itself, very similar to the death throws the DNC is in right now. Some are calling for sanity, I just enjoy to wath it.

The snark was from the dittohead comment.

First off, i don't believe Obama and Clinton are destroying each other or the party (well, aside from the few times Clinton tried to sabotage Obama's chances with McCain). The RNC campaign's were far nastier than what Obama and Clinton have been lobbing at one another.

Second, the length of this primary is actually a good thing if you ask me. It's finally allowing the rest of the country to actually have a say in who the nominee will be, instead of just a handful of small states. Hopefully the rest of the states will get the taste of this, and demand for reforms so that Iowa and NH don't play such a critical role.

This is just the MSM hyperbolizing everything for ratings. Is Obama pastor really that important? With the number of people Obama knows, you're bound to find some nutcases. Can you really say you agree with 100% of everything your friend, relatives, or coworkers say? Do you cut off all ties to them when you don't? It's so ridiculous. The sins of a pastor is now the sin of the congregant?

The Christian Right is in its death throes now. When over 1/4 of the people under the age of 30 are atheists and over half of the remainder don't even attend church more than 2 times a year, you can't win votes "because Jesus says so".

Give it 20 years and their power will wane as all the old folks die. We just have to stop them from putting creationism in the schools, banning abortion, etc for the next 10-15 years and we won't have to fight them anymore. They just won't have the numbers.

Any of them. I don't think a single preacher, except *maybe* at a UU church, actually has a sermon based on facts rather than fairy tales.

As of the last 20 years? None. Before that my mom dragged me to see this guy by the name of Jones speak. That was fun, i passed on refreashments though.

i can tell you dont know a lot about "any" church because sermons are not read from the bible, (umm your fairy tails) but rather how you can learn from the lessons and apply them to your life in altruistic ways usually in the form of social justice. something very familiar to a liberals point of view, without the government involvement.

compare that with obamas church that has sermons of hate and racism and "god damn america" and "911, who cares we had it comin"

Yes, you're right, I've NEVER been to a church. Ever. And I've certainly never been in a church where the preacher read passages like the following:
Lev 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Gen 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;

Or any of the "if you're not one of us you're going to burn in hell" passages.

John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
John 1:10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
John 1:11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.


Yeah. Wonderful stuff they talk about in those churches.
