This post is only getting 2.0 stars so far... Must be a lot of gap-toothed plow-headed banjo pluckers (like me, yeehawwwww!) among the IMAO readership.

RED ALERT!!! RED ALERT!!! The Ronulans are organizing for a revolt! If they're even half as effective as they were at securing the nomination, we're in big trouble! I mean, can anyone even begin to estimate how much half of nothing is? I'll tell ya what it is... it's nothing! Roll out the National Guard! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!

Fahckin' mo-Ron's...

* They don't like dem names: Barack Hussein Mohammed Obama

* They don't like Dem Bones

* He's one of dem dems

* He struts like one of dem

Barack?

Aint that the sumbitch that cant even bowl?

Barack?

I aint votin to put another guy in the white house that will just chase white women.

Gunrack?

I already gots one of them!

I dunno. I'm from WV and I think that Obama's inability to 'get things done' is one the stronger aspects of his campaign. What's worse, an ineffectual Obama presidency, or a powerful McCain?

Maybe just maybe people in places like WV or KY (who by the way have more common sense than anybody running for president, since Ronald Reagan) understand reality better than politicians, pundits, journalists, commentators and yes, I will say it, Katie Curic.

After all they actually live in the real world, pay bills, raise children, go to church. All those things the elite have others do for them. Which is why they are anti-illegal immigration. They are doing the jobs some Americans don't want to do. Which of course means they are ignorant, stupid, moronic red-necks and the world would be a much better place if they were marginalized or better yet erased from the hard drive. The sad thing is that we of the "fly over and occasionally red neck" persuasion get it from both sides of the aisle.

Looks like it's going to come down to folks making up their minds to vote for McSame - more debt, more war and more bush or the black dude.

Do you guys really think when push comes to shove that folks will vote to stay on the same disasterous track we've been on? Where would the commonsense be in that?

BTW, it's not Annie get your gun, it's Annie get OUR guns.

July 13, 2006 Hillary voted against amendment 4615 to H.R. 5441:

“To prohibit the confiscation of a firearm during an emergency or major disaster if the possession of such firearm is not prohibited under Federal or State law.”

While we're at it, you guys might want to check McCain's actual voting record regarding supporting our troops and ask yourselves why would this man vote against proper funding of VA hospitals and medical benefits:

If you really want an eyeopener, check to see what Col. Hackworth, the most respected officer to serve in Nam had to say. Am sure you remember Old Hackworth:

"David H. Hackworth died in June 2005, he was a much-decorated and highly unconventional former career Army officer who became a combat legend in Vietnam. Col. Hackworth received 78 combat awards — including a Distinguished Service Cross, a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and eight Purple Hearts — during his 25-year military career which spanned the Korean and Vietnam wars.."

* Those extra seven states he's talkin' 'bout might cut into the number of stuff named after Senator Byrd (D-KKK)!

Do John McCain or conservative republicans respect the moral foundation of this country? The U.S. Constitution was actually designed, among other things, to protect the people of America from misguided government.

U.S. Constitution: Amendment I - Freedom of Religion
Right now, for the first time ever, your tax dollars are funding religious groups you may not agree with. To add insult to injury, conservative judges have ruled that taxpayers do not have a right to challenge this expenditure.

Amendment IV - Search and seizure
Under the guise of court action against abortion, Conservative republicans had John Ashcroft subpoena all the medical records of literally thousands of women just like you and members of your family. Conservative republicans are invading your privacy every day. Unfortunately for all of us, they don't appear to care about our U.S. constitution, or by extension, the people of our great country.

Amendment X - Powers of the States and People
John McCain and conservative republicans have tried consistently to overturn States Laws. They used your tax dollars to destroy the will of the people of Oregon, and the famous "Death with Dignity" law; they lost, but undoubtedly will try again. Conservative republicans and John McCain do not respect States Rights.

Amendment VIII - Cruel and Unusual punishment
Would you rather die, or support a government which supported and sanctioned torture? The founding fathers would rather have died, and in fact they were proud to fight and die for our government: A government which specifically outlaws cruel and unusual punishment for very important reasons.

John McCain and the conservative republicans are destroying the moral foundations of our country. I urge you to keep this in mind in the coming election as we rebuild our nation together by voting Democrat and eating lead paint.

If you really want an eyeopener, check to see what Col. Hackworth, the most respected officer to serve in Nam

BWAH HA HA HA haaaaaa.

oh, you were serious?

Frank US, good try, but we won't have restored our local government until there is once again a gallows behind every county courthouse.

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

IT'S ABOUT ELECTABILITY !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. With Hillary Clinton you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. "Carpe diem" (harvest the day). You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don't want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses, and open primaries where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help. Except North Carolina where 35% of the population is African American, and approximately 90% of them block voted for him. African Americans are only approximately 17% of the general population.

Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. That is crystal clear now. Because all of the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. And the demographics, and experience are completely against him. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is.

You will have another McGovern catastrophe where George McGovern lost 49 of 50 states. And was the reason the super-delegates were created to keep that from happening again. Don't let that happen to the party and America again super-delegates. You have the power to prevent it. The only important question now is who can best win in November. And the answer is HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. That fact is also now crystal clear.

And YOUNG PEOPLE. DON'T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose. As do African Americans. Support Hillary Clinton. She will do her best for all of you. And she will know how to best get it done on day one.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic, and heroic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen. Probably the best there has ever been. Maybe it's time for Hillary to start thinking about switching to an INDEPENDENT run for the presidency. Wipe the slate clean. After all she is running to be the President of all the people. Hillary, Bill, and Chelsea would cream everyone. You know it's true. :-)

“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)

p.s. I have been under heavy attacks for some time now. But it wont stop me. :-)

"...the conservative republicans are destroying the moral foundations of our country."

Now THAT is the most hilarious thing I have read on here in a long time. Thanks Frank US for the soda-spewing, knee-slapping laugh!!!!

PS Save a tree, kill the babies! (or is it save a terrorist, kill the babies?)
PS Wanna know what's destroying the moral foundation of the country? Here's a clue.. how 'bout my tax dollars going to the crazy liberals indoctrination of public school CHILDREN (Heather has two moms, The Two Princes, or whatever all that crap is called). Thank God for homeschooling!!!!!!!

Sulamie, #10 Frank US ends his lecture with:

"...we rebuild our nation together by voting Democrat and eating lead paint."

Clearly his post is tongue-in-check with that trailing non sequitur. (But not in my cheek, it's full of lead paint chips - I've been scrapping dem sidings.)

Looks like it's going to come down to folks making up their minds to vote for McSame - more debt, more war and more bush

Remember - McSame is just a continuation of George Bush . . . Who he voted against! . . . no wait, what are my talking points this time?

If you really want an eyeopener, check to see what Col. Hackworth, the most respected officer to serve in Nam had to say.

Or you could read what Bud Day, Admiral Stockdale, and all the people who were actually in the Hanoi Hilton with him had to say - but my guess is you wouldn't want to do that.

hahahahaha - thanks Jimmy for pointing that out!

Gee, Frank US I totally missed you yesterday but as I always say don't let the facts influence a good rant.

What do Liberal Demoncrats stand for:
1. Killing our posterity. Any other place time and this would be called Genocide.
2. Eco- fraud and terrorism. By the time these green gorillas (yes that's exactly what I mean) are done we, just like Europe will be more polluted. Poorer for sure but we'll be rich in pollution. Check it out, since they signed the Kyoto agreement their pollution index is UP.
3. Illegal Immigration. There's plenty to go round, especially if those who are working have to support those who never work.
4. Terrorist angst. We can't racial profile people because we might actually catch the crook, terrorists and nere'do wells doing nere' well.
5. Murder is as murder does. Why would people who are so cheerfully killing innocent babies be opposed to doing in anybody else? Because they don't believe in a higher power they trust only in their own limited understanding and knowledge.
6. Tax those who work to give to those who leach off the publics sympathy. It should be interesting to see what happens when business close forcing even more workers into the welfare lines. Exactly which group of undereducated, ignorant, lazy slugs are going to build new businesses to employ those who are willing to work. Last time I looked those slurping at the public trough weren't creating Fortune 500 companies.
7. The mindset of "Do unto others so they have to depend on you" and "If it feels good do it" and "There is no real right and wrong" have cast us adrift in a morass of immorality that rivals the ancient cities of Sodom and Gommorah. We Christians know how well that turned out.

So don't lecture us on how horrible the Conservatives are. We aren't the ones cozying up to people who have made statement after statement, saying their job is to kill us, the infidel. Every man, woman and child. They aren't the ones who ignored and even assisted Saddam to give aid and comfort to terrorists. They aren't the ones who sold secrets to the Chinese.

Conservatives in government can as deadly as Liberals. The major difference is that we Conservatives understand that and our nutjobs rarely (I said rarely) get to the top). We can admit our faults. Liberals have no faults because they do no wrong because there is no wrong for them to do. Besides it's doesn't feel good, therefore they won't do it.

Truth to Power (gag, gag, gag)

The only people agreeing it's over for Hillary are those that are either part of the spin-machine, or people who can't count past 2000.

When Obama gets the needed votes to secure the nomination, the contest ends. Until then, there is no winner.

Probably the most notable skill Conservatives have is their ability to perpetuate lies. Liberal democrats don't believe in the radical positions that were listed in post # 18. The wording outright laughable. Thank goodness most people, including many republicans, don't follow this guy's radical and dangerous assumptions.

It's amusing that Republicans view themselves as a moral compass, but conveniently overlook the countless immoral activities of the Bush administration.

Since you're "probably" a newcomer here, Steve, you've no doubt missed the reaming that President Bush has taken from most of us on his policies we adamantly disagreed with. You won't find anyone here labeling Bush a "conservative," nor his he one.

But all-in-all, your first sentence is insulting, fatuous and pretentious to put it mildly and even disqualifies you from receiving the proper definition of "conservative" that you no doubt have never heard - and would do you the most good.

Do yourself a favor and trade your insults elsewhere.

Dearest Steve,
1. Abortion on demand
2. Global Warming is a fraud, scam and lie
3. Illegal immigrant are simply poor disenfranchised people trying to find a better life
4. If we just talk to the terrorist maybe they'll kill us fast instead of using real torture (like stoning, beheading, raping ect.)
5. Helping someone commit suicide is murder, dead is dead is dead is dead. Do you know why suicide is such a terrible sin? Because like murder there is nothing anyone can do to take it back.
6. Tax the rich to give to the poor i.e. wealth redistribution, see the Rev. Wrights sermons if you are confused. He'll straighten you right out.
7. Last but by no means least, look at any major city and tell me that the good out weigh the bad. Murders, rapes, assaults, stealing, extortion, racism (of all kinds) subversion, immorality, and all manor of perversions are being practiced by people who almost always vote Democrat and are very liberal in their thinking. There is no wrong, just different perspectives. One mans truth is another mans lie. If it feels good do it.

I really don't think I left anything out. It's all there in the platform, every bleeding plank.

"I really don't think I left anything out."

NO you didn't Seanmahair. It could not have been laid out more clearly, and I THANK YOU for that!!!

I'm just a simple girl from Chicago trying to raise my children up to love God, this country, and to serve both. We're in CA now and it's pretty liberal, which stinks. I'm sure thankful for IMAO and the folks here! (I don't get out much - haha.)

Oh and thanks to whoever recommended "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed" for our date night (sorry, I don't remember who). We took your advice and really enjoyed it!

I think that was me. You're very welcome. I took my wife to see it and she fell asleep in the middle. Not enough car chases to keep her interest I guess. Anyway, I'm glad my recommendation contributed in some small way to your pleasant night out. Happy mothers day too!

That's their secret for getting brilliant colors and a malleable population! Democrat bumper stickers use lead paint!

Sulamie,
You are more than welcome. As one veteran of the Mommy trenches to another, welcome. Glad you're here. Remember when you feed the trolls keep your hands and fingers inside the posts. Some of them are truly rabid.

I had no intention of insulting people, sorry that you interpreted it that way. In my opinion though, its equally insulting to tell liberals what they believe in. Just because abortion is legal, doesn't mean that we (yes, I'm a a liberal, gasp!) wish the practice perpetuated. Rational people believe that instead of outright banning things, ie. taking our freedom, we should educate people and reform society so that the circumstances that cause abortion can be eliminated. I personally would never abort my child, but I still believe that the government should not intervene in people's lives and dictate personal choices.

Besides, don't conservatives prefer small government and less restriction? Oh wait, legislating morals supersedes the core values of the party.

Thank you Seanmahair, for the warm welcome!

And thank you from my family to yours for your service to our country (I believe it was you who said somewhere that your husband was/is in the military?)

Liberal #27 - Only God can legislate morals. It's a baby, not a choice. Abortion is murder. Period.

Oh and yes Cap'n (#24) it was you! Thanks again!

#27 I didn't take it as an insult. I've been insulted here before and I'd recognize it if it had happened.

My point is what I perceive Liberals believe and for that I can only go with what they say, who they support and what they do.

As did you in your previous post.

Painting with a broad brush is inaccurate on both sides but my point was more irony than vitriol.

I'm always interested in civilized debate, minus personal (which I didn't feel you did, more a generalized opinion) attacks to as Shakespear once said "Lay on"

'Suddenly another voice spoke, low and melodious, its very sound an enchantment. Those who listened unwarily to that voice could seldom report the words that they heard; and if they did, they wondered, for little power remained in them. Mostly they remembered only that it was a delight to hear the voice speaking, all that it said seemed wise and reasonable, and desire awoke in them by swift agreement to seem wise themselves. When others spoke they seemed harsh and uncouth by contrast; and if they gainsaid the voice, anger was kindled in the hearts of those under the spell. For some the spell lasted only while the voice spoke to them, and when it spoke to another they smiled, as men do who see through a juggler's trick while others gape at it. For many the sound of the voice alone was enough to hold them enthralled; but for those whom it conquered the spell endured when they were far away, and ever they heard that soft voice whispering and urging them. But none were unmoved; none rejected its pleas and its commands without an effort of mind and will, so long as its master had control of it.' - J.R.R. Tolkien

"Gibbets and crows! Dotard! What is the (state of West Virginia) but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and their brats roll on the floor among the dogs? Too long have they escaped the gibbet themselves. But the noose comes, slow in the drawing, tight and hard in the end. Hang if you will! ... I know not why I have had the patience to speak to you. For I need you not, nor your little band of gallopers, as swift to fly as to advance ... I offered you a state beyond your merit and your wit. I have offered it again so that those whom you mislead may clearly see the choice of roads. You give me brag and abuse. So be it. Go back to your huts!" - Barack Obama

(with apologies and thanks to Professor Tolkien)

Barack was never going to 'get' southern Appalachia anyway. He can take northern Appalachia easily !

- simply propose a 3 new Nas-car tracks positioned every 200 miles up the spine of northern Appalachia !

- Plop a big watered down beer brewery and distribution network right in the middle of the mountains ! (emmm Yuummmm Soma !)

- Tell everybody that Obama really isn't 1/2 African decent and half white - ummm tell 'em he's really from southern Bulgaria... lots of sun down there - like Alabama really.

He will have those Podunk inbreeds yet ! (bless their sweet genetic deficient souls)
