1. I was thinking about joining the Optimists Club ...

4. I'm so resigned to it that I'm going to resign...
Just so I can sign up again - just so I can resign AGAIN. My resignation is effective as of today. I'm back! I resign!

6. Just like I'm resigning myself to a McCain presidency or to a one-term, Carter-like Obama one.
It is no coincidence that the same people who opposed Clinton, opposed Gore and opposed Kerry -- opposed every liberal Democratic president except JFK (whom they envied) and LBJ (whom they feared) are all beating bass drums on Barrack's bandwagon.

The MSM is our enemy, folks. That hasn't changed. The GOP and MSM are propping up Obama and the reason for that is to destroy Hillary. I bet a lot of Obama's ready money actually comes from wingnut Republicans who want him to be the nominee because they think he is the easiest one to beat.

Many people here have been co-opted by their naiviety and desire for something shiny and new. They have gleefully watched as the same media that hounded Clinton, Carter, Truman and FDR incessantly attacks the one Democrat the GOP really fears: Hillary. Once they've knocked her off, they'll turn on Obama and I can just imagine the howls and screams that will ensue from his supporters here. You guys will be crtying your little eyes out.

Excepting a quickly covered over (by the MSM) dust up about Wright (gone and forgotten now -- for the time being) Obama has not seen even ONE bad day of news coverage. Hillary has not seen even one GOOD day.

That's no accident, folks.

Our enemies haven't changed.

They've just fooled some of you into helping them.

Wait till Hillary's completely out of the picture, and you'll see.

You'll see that the GOP has figured out the answer to the lady who asked McCain, "How do we beat the bitch?"

By propping up Obama with laudatory news coverage and lots of money while simultaneously character assassinating Hillary, that's how.

7. What a coincidence ...
... this is the third post I've seen this afternoon espousing exactly the same thing.

You'd almost think people were getting their talking points from the same source. And that seems to happen a lot lately.

But I'm sure it's just coincidence.

10. What do you mean, OPPOSED?
I supported all those candidates, voted for Bill twice. I was too young to envy JFK or fear LBJ, or to vote for Carter, but I would have.

I support Obama because I am against dynasties, be they Clinton, Kennedy, Bush, whatever. One president per family seems like a good rule to me.

Finally, I've never ASSASSINATED Hillary's character. I just started a "wordplay" thread for fun.

16. "propping up Obama with laudatory news coverage and lots of money"
You are aware of how Obama raised his millions, right? Not props, but tens of thousands of small contributions.

Also, after getting heralded as the only Democrat who could run from 2000 till 2007, Sen Clinton's last field for complaint is praise given to other candidates

19. You could try the Hell's Angels
But I never understood one thing about them. If you're going to go to hell anyway, why be the best-behaved one there?
