Barack Obama Wins Democratic Nomination
An anonymous reader was one of many who noted that Barack Obama has claimed the Democratic nomination having secured enough delegates and super-delegates to claim victory. Of course, technically this assumes that the supers all vote as they say they will and they are free to change their minds. So no doubt we'll continue to hear debate on this subject until either the convention or Hillary steps down.
>how many republicans do you think would vote for someone named Barack Hussein Obama. A name that rings with
>the sounds of two recent so called enemies.
Osama bin laden blew up WTC. And Saddam Hussein refused to comply with UN declarations which were there for security reasons. Even a blatent neo-trotskyite proto-statist pseudo-"progressive" one-dimensional political blow-hard like you should know that those two people are/were real enemies, not just "so called".

Who cares about being diverse? Diversity is nice if you're wanting to expand your cultural understanding. I wish people would stop voting for candidate x because they're black, or candidate y because they're female.
For gods sake universal (socialized) healthcare is a terrible idea. I'm voting republican just because they're not advocating this system. I want to be able to see a doctor, emergency room, or specialist anytime I want. I don't want to have to take a number, and sit behind a hundred different people who may or may not have insurance to get treated. The reason universal healthcare works is because people are most likely going to die before they get treated. That's the main platform for both these democratic candiates!
Pick the candidate who is most qualified, or otherwise this is a merely a popularity contest. Obama does not represent all black people, and in the same way Hilary does not represent all women. On the news people were asked why they voted the way they did. Women, feminists, went out to vote for Hillary, and admitted it on TV.
Have you seen Obama's voting record? The man is so far out to the left he's actually the most liberal voter on the Hill. That is saying something, and by god we're putting the man into position to lead us all! I wish I'd joined the bandwagon to switch to Democrat to cast my vote for Hillary when I had the chance, lord knows every other Republican I know did just that. It's not racism, he's not all black people, he's just a guy whose voting record is more erratic than SUV driver with a tire blowing out.

It didn't matter in Ron Paul's case, because he didn't have the best ideas in the world. Quite the contrary. He's dangerously incompetent whackjob that even the lunatic-fringe Cheney-fellating PNAC crowd is leery of.
...we couldn't put up something more than a fat old white guy again.
You're right. They need to put up a cold New York bitch white women candidate. Oh, wait...
Right, the world would be so much better if Saddam Hussein was still in power. /s

If you don't understand then I'm not going to explain it to you as you don't have the intellect to grasp thes situation.
What you ignore is that genuine racists put up a lot of effort to confuse and distort the issues, and a lot of people fall for it. People who propogate racist shit like that are racists themselves or unbelievably and undeniably stupid, which is nearly the same thing. Uh huh. And what you've just said is unbelievably and undeniably stupid. Therefore, you are (nearly) a racist.
That's called a reduction to absurdity, by the way. I don't actually believe you're a racist. But, with the witch hunts, it's hard to tell the difference, isn't it?
You can be against racism, I'm not up on it either. But you can only claim the high ground by sticking to what is justifiable with reason and not get carried away by passion.
