On the HRC primary voter and polls

Fri Jun 06, 2008 at 08:56:24 AM PDT

I'm not talking about any one person, but making a general statement about poll results.

It is true that some polls showed HRC voters would refuse to vote for Obama in disturbingly large numbers.

And it is true that many HRC voters were disturbed by her loss.

But the polls don't reflect that plain fact that one of the ways HRC supporters were encouraged to support HRC, implicitly if not explicitly, was to say Obama couldn't get their vote.

It's not racism that won WV.   HRC is now a niche candidate.

It's not racism that caused the blowout, it's that HRC basically attached herself like a leech to Appalachia in order to win Pennsylvania.

For good reasons, people in the Appalachian areas have suspicions and resentments of outsiders, and HRC remade herself into a rural Appalachian white person fighting for them against 1) San Fransciscans 2) Economists 3) Democratic Activists 4) Those blacks playing the race card.  She appeared on O'Reilly.  She drank.  she pumped gas.  She fumbled with coffee machines at the quick-mart.  She went on about hunting.  

And no mention of gays, or mandates, or abortion, or the supreme court, or a rainbow coalition.  Shhhhhhh. It's not about what you are for.  It's about who you are against.  

She joined the culture war on the red side.

Beware The False Prophets (Long)

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive opinions.

2 Peter 2:1*

People are happy and excited now that an end is finally in sight for this godawful primary season. No reason they shouldn't be: it's tough on everybody. But we should resist the temptation to read uncritically every apparent piece of good news for Barack Obama. There's been a fair amount of baloney published already about the presumptive nominee, and more to come.

Hillary May Have Lost The Entire Black Vote...FOREVER !!!

Sat May 03, 2008 at 08:00:48 AM PDT

While the media loves to breakdown every demographic...old, young, rich, poor, educated, uneducated, blue collar, beer drinkers, bowlers and more....for some very interesting reason....they never mention...
HILLARY HAS LOST THE ENTIRE BLACK VOTE....POSSIBLY FOREVER !!!This is the message currently being sent by blacks to the DNC (and the superdelegates)in great numbers. There is no way Hillary will defeat McCain without the support of Black America aka the guaranteed Democratic vote. Please read  Huffington Posts story on how the Hillary Camp has been feeding Obama attacks TO THE GOP !!!!! What a traitor to the Democratic Party !!!!!!!! For those who didn't know, Hillary started out with 82% of the black support. But as Blacks learned more about her (Goldwater Girl...possibly Against Civil Rights Act '64....It was LBJ...Not MLK....etc) combined with Bill's (...fairy tale....Jessie Won S.C. too...etc.)...blacks were shocked beyond repair. (remember....we luved Bill so much we called him 'The First Black President')....but never again....WHERE'S THAT STORY.
