Fat lady math

Posted By Darian Rachal

Tom, it's my understanding that the superdelegates are not obligated to necessarily follow the lead of the elected delegates, if they can be persuaded that an alternative has a better chance of becoming President.

It seems to me this is the best chance HRC has. The Democrats have put themselves in quite a dilemma. They are composed of competing factions, all assuming they are "owed" something. I suspect that one faction is going to feel rejected. It's difficult for me to imagine Party unity after the convention.

Lee, I think the wholesome image of Curious George was tarnished by associating BHO with him. That's the only thing that bothers me about the t-shirts. wink

What's up in Kentucky?

In the big picture of delegate counts, it may not matter. But, did anyone notice that Obama got smoked in Kentucky?
Pretty much like he'll get smoked against McCain, if he makes it that far, IMHO. grin

What's Hillary's plan?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Lee, I still think her plan is to get the Dem. nomination. The Obamatards and the MSM are constantly whining for her to hand it to Hussein, but she seems to just keep plugging away and ignoring them.

I've never been a Hillary fan, but I sort of admire her for hanging in there against those "evil" wink forces.

Well, I guess that depends on how you define racist. I suspect Michelle Obama is a racist. Jim's not an Obamatard; perhaps that makes him a racist from your perspective.

Anything wrong with this picture?

Posted By Darian Rachal

Jim, I got the article from the http://www.LewRockwell.com site. It generally has a variety of articles from different sources.

I guess I was thinking about the British empire in regard to my question.

If the information is correct, I was not aware that the US spends more on military than the rest of the world combined. I guess if I gave the idea any thought, I would have realized that it is the largest arms merchant.

On a slightly different note, and I am not referring to you Jim, but I've noticed how "love of America" has almost religious overtones. It kind of reminds me of some fundamentalists who refuse to even let certain ideas cross their mind.

Anyway, just throwing around some ideas. I was not trying to offend anyone by posting the link. smile

Phoenix Lander from Space

It's missions like these that really make me pleased with U.S. planetary exploration. Not quite like a man on the moon, but second best. smile

Can't we all just get along?

Tony Aguire said:Right, Left.....Conservative, liberal....Keep reading all sorts of posts, some pretty caustic. It seems like politics has boiled down to us against them. Problem is is we are them, and them is us. We are all AMERICANS.....We are fighting ourselves. And all the while we are being taken over bit by bit by foreign interests and nations. China will practically own us pretty soon, the way things are going. Try calling any sort of customer service rep without talking to some one in a timezone more than 4 hours away. Buying some thing made in America anymore requires a trip to a specialty store....
What the heck is going on?
I am not a whacko isolationist, I just love my country and hate to see it's identity being lost amid infighting and globalization. Ya know what I am sayin' ?
Tony, Just to address one part of your post, one of the problems is this "racial identity" that so many people have. It's perpetuated by the likes of the Jeremiah Wrights and others. The loathsome MSM(really nothing more than propaganda, IMHO) promotes this as well.

After a local newspaper did an article on Obama's likely nomimation, one black woman, on the online responses stated, "NOW IT'S OUR TURN". Just reflect on the magnitude of ignorance in that statement.

Tony, Sometime I wonder if the greatest threat to American freedom is from within, not from some foreign enemy. Just MHO.
