To which I must reply; "REALLY?" What would indeed be a breakthrough, my dear Maha, would be if either of them gets elected and is given a chance to govern this goddam country... Hasn't happened with either of the last two Democratic Presidents...And it ain't gonna happen for either of the Democratic Contenders... "It's the Media, Stupid" Maha sez: “It would be a breakthrough if either of them were elected”…

What would indeed be a breakthrough, my dear Maha, would be if either of them gets elected and is given a chance to govern this goddam country…

Hasn’t happened with either of the last two Democratic Presidents…And it ain’t gonna happen for either of the Democratic Contenders…

“It’s the Media, Stupid”

You are way too young to be considered a geezer. Now, I am approaching that status. The Dems were blamed for "Losing China" into the 60s. Chaing's gov't was way to corrupt. “Geezer” ? ?

That media darling, St. John McSame, will trot some African-American's out behind him (where else?), and all will be forgotten that he didn't support MLK Day in Arizona for 15 years. He'll have another BBQ session for the press, chat aimiably with them on his bus, and they will ignore the fact that NONE of his policies make ANY sense. We have a long fight ahead with the media, the rightwing noise machine and the voting machines. We will have to turn out in November in numbers that swamp the voting machines. And I'm sorry to say, Hillary sure as Hell ain't helping the cause. She got the "division thing" down to a science. A few month's ago, I leaned toward's Obama, but still wasn't sure, and could have supported her. I can't today. For her, it's become win at any cost.... In an hour, I'm off to Obama Headquarter's here in Fayetteville, NC to see what I can do to help. But I"m not saying she should stop runnig. I'm saying she should stop the division, and help in the addition that could help us win. If we don't win in 7 month's, this country is completely lost. The Conservatives will continue to divide American’s.

We still have a long way to go. I spent the day trying to teach my most deliberately ignorant coworker how to pronounce Barack Obama’s name correctly.

I have argued that most of the so-called social conservatives are deep seated racists and that even a significant number of the evangelical Christians are using things like abortion to support racist candidates because you can still be pro life in polite company, but not explicitly racist.
