Oprah to Hillary, You Go Girl, Run for President

I completely agree with ebrown about her horribleness as a candidate.

I think I like her more, personally, than he does, but am fervently hoping she won't be the Dem presidential candidate in 2008.

I think the latest polls show her as the frontrunner in getting the nomination, though.

As I recall, the same poll indicated if pitched against McCain, he'd win by 10 points.

Personally, I think the nomination is hers for the asking....even before Oprah's comment.

Yeah really, just what we need, another Clinton Republican in the whitehouse.
Vote early
vote often
vote Kucinich.

In a slightly related topic...

I am gaining more and more respect for John McCain.

He is not the progressive type that I would normally support, but he has done a few things that have gotten my attention.

His courage and passion about the anti-torture legislation.
His pragmatism and compassion in the undocumented immigration issue.

I am willing to bend a bit on my liberal politics to support a person with strength, principles and integrity.

I believe McCain has the reputation of being the last honest politician.

McCain, a political vocalist with the range of half an octave.

I respect your opinion of Hillary and I agree that the Democratic candidates have been a disaster but I ask you: If a man runs for offfice it has nothing to do with gender; if a woman runs it has everything to do with gender. Sexism is the last great form of racism in this country and it is alive and well it seems

I won't vote for or support HIllary. That has nothing to do with gender.

I would gladly vote for Sozobe because of her strength, character and integrity. This also has nothing to do with her gender.

In order to have a Democrat in the White House again,
let's not nominate Hillary for a possible candidate.
She has very little integrity in my book.

How 'bout a Mexican President?

Que?

this is one life-long liberal democrat who would vote for Lucifer himself before Hillary Clinton.

and as much as i detest george bush, i might even vote for him before hillary clinton.

how quaint that a billionaire like Opray should run off at the mouth and tell us common folk that having senator clinton run for president would be a priviledge for us to endure.

as smart and ambitious as her husband, totally without his sense of personal compassion.

a shark, in it only for herself.

but to be fair, i do like her boobies.

boobs good.


who then? who should be the Dem candidate??????
Of coarse it doesn't really matter intill we fix the electric voting machines.

Right! Let's have some independent outside source oversee
the election. I wonder what Fidel is up to on election day

¿Que?

CTRL ALT ? ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿

Speaking as a ferriner - I don't think her boobs are much to look at really.

Anyway I did one of those online poll things ages ago and it came out Kucinich so unless he runs I wouldn't be much bothered cheering from afar. But of course I'm an alien so what I say doesn't matter.

But on behalf of the Rest of the World. Don't select a dummy again. Please!

It's the difference between Jackie Robinson and any black kid playing pro ball today. What makes them the same is obvious, but what makes them different is of clear social importance.

Back then, there was a very sound reason to BE "racist" - in one sense you suggest that word. There were no blacks playing pro ball and (from a consideration of social justice/equality) there ought to have been blacks in pro ball. Anyone setting actively to the task of placing a black there might be termed racist, but to use the term in that way is to reverse its meaning.

Which is why I brought up the "strange fruit" metaphor. When 98% of men swinging from oak trees were black, what is gained if you use the term "racist" to describe noting race in that statistical breakdown I just mentioned? And what is lost?

or a black president?

...... actually.. how about a president with color? Who cares what it is?

Re McCain...

I think the chances of McCain gaining the Republican nomination are close to zero. The religious right does not want him, nor do many other powerful forces in the modern party.

A lobbyist aims at McCain...

Note the typical sleeze from Norquist suggesting McCain's activities are racist.
