"You show me the equal rights he was denied?"

Are you denying that discrimination against African Americans existed prior to the Civil Rights era? LOL.

You're even more obtuse than I gave you credit for.

Pathetic.

LOL.

LOL.

"I don't think the Republicans have looked into the personal lives of opponents in their own party like you have now."

Apparently, you don't remember the smear campaign run against John McCain by GW Bush supporters in the 2000 South Carolina primary. The things said about McCain back then were FAR WORSE.

Your partisan selective-memory strikes again.

Pathetic.

Man what an arrogant Ahole you are Dawgie. Your mom must be proud. You must be the guy that's still mad, because the football players had all the pretty girls fawning over them. Yeppers I ain't too much edumacated but iffn being so means living in your world I'll pass. You have a great life Dawgie.

Ah so tell me who broke Wrights bones? Who kept him in jail for close to a decade? Who came to the man an tortured him? You show me the equal rights he was denied? Nows a good time to send out your data police.

Let's see now, W. Virginia , you know that state which put in the sitting KKK member in congress? We are clear now of which state I'm talking about right? You know, the state that is Blue? You know, blue as in a Democratic Party State? The state that has 97% white folks of the non-Edumacated coal digging, Gun luvin, Gawd Luvin, variety? The Democratic party state that when people there are interviewed they say things likeâ;¦.. I kan't vote for no Muzlum like that thar Obamaram feller, heck even his wife is a dang atheist! No sir Bubby we can't have none of dat, I'm voting for Hillary!

Oh I got sidetracked, was there something you were saying about Republicans being racists or something?

--Slater, don't confuse true Democrats with oxy Rush Limbaugh's repulsive flying monkey squadron (aka the bitter, delusional, and disgruntled wingjob electorate). In contrast to flipflopper con Republicans ("Baaa...We cain't vote fer Keeeeerry. He's a flipflopper.We cain't truuuust him. Baaaaa"), Democrats don't lie to themselves and others about their voting criteria in one election and then turn around four years later and vote for someone with the very qualities they claimed motivated their earlier voting decisions. And please don't even TRY to turn this racism HORSECRAP around on the Democratic party when it's racist white REPUBLICANS who pull out some racist sleaze at every chance they can get. Or did you think we forgot about Harold Ford or the racist crap that Bush fans used to smear McCain back in the 2000 GOP primaries?

I want a better more controlled spending. Secure Borders, Illegals out, no amnesty, Solution to the war. Equal taxation on imports comparable to our exports. Cleaner air. Drilling for oil farther off our coasts . A more secure America for my grandchildren to grow up in.

"here's some data for ya to look at."

I can't believe this is the best you can dig up. liberalscum.com, blackconservative, and answers.yahoo are the most reliable sources you can muster? LOL. And exactly where in those articles is the data proving that most Democrats would vote for McCain if their preferred candidate was not nominated? LOL

What a testament to the education of a typical Republican.

Pathetic.

LOL. Whatever you say, tough guy.

Pathetic.

"McSame"

Dan Rather??? what a hoot ....

Third link: what is the source of Howard Dean's supposed comment? None is provided.

Fourth link: I don't care for a lot of what those 2 do and say. While they say they are Democrats, they are NOT politicians (and neither is Dan Rather). The focus of the article is about politicians IN office.

Rather thin on the documentation, I think ....

"Foley is gone, haven't you heard and was so within a day or two? Newt, his replacement and Lott are all gone aren't they?"

Newt was replaced by Hastert, as Speaker of the House, who was implicated in the Abramoff affair. The transition between Newt and Hastert saw another Speaker designate, Bob Livingston, who resigned the assumptive leadership for a sexual affair.

Lott resigned the Senate majority leadership for having praised Thurmond's segregation stand as a Dixiecrat when he ran for president in 48.

Foley resigned after his scandalous homosexual e-mail to a Congress Page.

None of these characters were sanctioned, castigated, or criticized by their party.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Livingston

CM then why is Lott, Foley, Newt and others out of their positions of power?

The only one I can think of that is in is wide stance.

"Let's see, you have someone torture you for years and years, breaking bones and the like. I suppose you'd not hold a little anger and call them a name you most likely got burned into your head while they were removing your fingernails?"

Interesting how you can't apply the same standard to Jeremiah Wright who was denied equal rights even after his service in Vietnam. Applying YOUR OWN logic, it would read:

"Let's see, you have someone fighting in the armed services for years and years, risking his own life for his country and the like. I suppose you'd not hold a little anger and call them a name you most likely got burned into your head while they were denying you the very rights, freedoms, and liberties you thought you were fighting for in Vietnam?"

What's your excuse for Richard Quinn, who characterizes both McCain and David Duke as would-be "maverick politicians"?

Spare me your hypocritical, partisan double standards.

What's the matter? Don't have any documentation to support your counter-argument?

Why don't you cry about it?

And since you have none...

Class dismissed.

"(CLIONTONS) Sorry I talked about your drug use Obama"

I'd like to see the source for this paraphrased quotation. Go ahead and provide a link. I'll wait, although something tells me not to hold my breath waiting.

You are obfuscating and avoiding the issue YOU brought up. The Clintons do not speak for the entire Democratic Party; in fact, as the polls demonstrate, the Clintons don't even speak for the majority of the Democratic Party.

Now do you have proof to support your assertion that the majority (over 50%) of Democrats across the entire nation (not just a particular demographic in a single state) would vote for McCain over the Democratic nominee or not? If you don't have any data to report, just say so. You only further embarrass yourself by continuing to avoid posting data to support an argument YOU RAISED.

LOL.

So after the war in Iraq, the torture of innocent people, the deaths by neglect after Katrina, the endless violations of the Constitution, the endless lies and manipulating of the judiciary, the threats, the harassment- it's all okay since the Pope came over. It's all okay since we're all folksy again. Meanwhile the dissapproval rating is 70%. No, we didn't "misunderestimate" him. Even the Pope can't change that.

"My opinion is based on current events over the last few weeks, so I'd guess for the sake of satisfying you lust for data. I'll ask you to 'remember' the various newscasts over the last 8 weeks?"

Well, if coverage is as ubiquitous as you claim it is, then you shouldn't have a problem finding data. After all, I readily produced Gallup Poll data to support my argument. Why can't you reciprocate? Are you simply too lazy or too obtuse to posit a data-supported argument?

LOL.

Typical.

(CLIONTONS) Sorry I talked about your drug use Obama, sorry we talked about racial things and sorry for putting the Rev tapes out in public Obama, now I want to 'unite' LOLOL. Yeah you go ahead and believe that. Hillary's personality may be many things, but being politically stupid isn't one of her traits. She is saying exactly what she needs to say to save face for the future being how things look bleak now. No more no less, she is already 10-steps into her political future, I'd think someone that likes to study data and crunch numbers and stats would be able to see something so clear to most ' average' Joes.

"In 2000, McCain reversed himself on the confederate flag first calling it 'a symbol of racism and slavery' but then pandering the very next day by calling it a 'symbol of heritage.'

McCain campaigned in Alabama for George Wallace Jr., a popular speaker the Council of Conservative Citizens, whose mission statement reads:

'We believe that the U.S. derives from and is an integral part of European civilization and people and that the American people and government should remain European in their composition and character. We also oppose all efforts to mix the races of mankind, to promote non-white races over the European-American people through so-called "affirmative action" and similar measures, to destroy or denigrate the European-American heritage, including the heritage of the Southern people, and to force the integration of the races.'"

Former Republican house speaker Foley made advances towards young male interns. Later he said it was the drink.

Former Senator Craig was caught by an undercover officer soliciting sexual favors in a Men's room. He said it was a misunderstanding. When confronted with the actual evidence- he shut up and resigned.

Now we have a Republican Fosella having a child and mistress while married.

Yes, the Republican party are absolutely on board with the religious right.

If any blue collar religious person cannot see the hyporcrisy then they deserve 8 more years of Bush hypocrisy and more from the illicit party of greed and loose morals.

"Richard Quinn, McCain's chief South Carolina advisor in 2000, who edits a racially controversial magazine called Southern Partisan called Nelson Mandela a 'terrorist' and King a man 'whose role in history was to lead his people into a perpetual dependence on the welfare state, a terrible bondage of body and soul.' In another piece, Quinn said of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, 'What better way to reject politics as usual than to elect a maverick like David Duke?'"

"You also have a scandalous member that was a Klan Member."

Not that I would ever vote for Byrd, but Byrd has changed quite a bit SINCE THE 1940s, when he was encouraged into joining the KKK by his family. As I've noted before, his actions speak louder than his words: Byrd supported all 33 bills by the NAACP, the NAACP gave him a 100% on their report card, and Byrd lobbied for an MLK monument in D.C. Meanwhile, McCain voted AGAINST the MLK holiday TWICE and has been recently DIRECTLY quoted saying racist slurs.

You must instead be talking about John McCain and Richard Quinn, one of John McCain's chief political advisors.

"McCain used the term 'tar baby.' He said he hoped it wouldn't be viewed as a racial remark."

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/hongop.shtml

"On his campaign bus recently, Sen. John McCain told reporters, 'I hated the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.'"

"Heck if I remember you have one in right now that was found with a large sum of cash."

Actually, it was Nancy Pelosi who tried to remove William Jefferson. Pelosi's actions were blocked by REPUBLICAN Congressmen who defended William Jefferson. From your own precious Fox News:

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,278080,00.html

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was expected to push later this week for Jefferson's official ouster from his committee...specifically asking the committee to answer whether Jefferson should resign. Last year, Pelosi stripped Jefferson of his seat on the Ways and Means Committee...Some Democrats called for Jefferson's resignation Tuesday."

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/05/27/jefferso...

"President Bush came under fierce pressure from House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL), John Boehner (R-OH), Bill Frist (R-TN), and other congressional leaders to return materials (seized by the FBI from William Jefferson's home)."

"Please name me 3 that the Dems have tossed on their ears during scandals?"

Let's take things one at a time. In order to compare apples-to-apples, you need two politicians guilty of the same crime. It's telling you continue to avoid answering my charge of partisan double-standards with respect to Elliott Spitzer (D-NY) who was forced out of office for soliciting prostitution and yet David Vitter (R-LA) received a STANDING OVATION upon his confession of the SAME CRIME before a meeting of Republican senators.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19795296/

"Louisiana Sen. David Vitter returned to the Capitol Tuesday, apologizing privately to GOP colleagues but refusing to take reporters' questions about the sex scandal. In a private weekly luncheon for Republican senators in the Capitol, Vitter briefly spoke and received a round of applause audible outside the room."

"Only 28% of Clinton supporters indicate that if Clinton is not the nominee -- and Obama is -- they would support McCain. That compares to only 19% of Obama supporters who would support McCain if Obama is not the nominee -- and Clinton is. The vast majority would support either Democratic candidate in the general election.

It is unknown how many Democrats would actually vote for a Republican next fall if their preferred candidate does not become the Democratic nominee. The Democratic campaign is in the heat of battle at the moment, but by November, there will have been several months of attempts to build party unity.

Additionally, some threat of deserting the party always takes place as party nomination battles are waged, and this threat can dissipate. For example, 11% of Republicans said they would vote for the Democratic candidate if McCain does not choose a VP more conservative than he is."

"Which of you staunch Hillary or Obama Haters will support them if your guy or gal doesn't win?"

Speak for yourself. After all, it is YOU who continues to post without even a SHRED of supporting documentation.

CLINTON: "I intend to do everything I can to make sure we have a unified Democratic Party. When this contest is over and we have a nominee, we're going to close ranks. We're going to be united ... The most important goal for us is to put a Democrat back in the White House."

OBAMA: "There are going to be some bruised feelings, whoever the nominee is. We are going to have to come together and remind ourselves that there is a heck of a lot bigger difference between either Senator Clinton or myself, and John McCain...I think short term, there is going to be work to do for the nominee to bring the party back together again. People feel pretty passionate about their respective candidates. I appreciate that, and I understand it."

Wake up man your having a bad dream. You are confusing the parties.

The R's have continuosly had the fouled up administrations in the past 40 years.

So you really need to think about what you claim.

The party line means nothing to me except a bunch of people willing to goosestep along.

As far as 'wide stance goes' they did try to make him leave, but if they refuse to leave you can't for a scandal that doesn't warrant impeachment now can they? However, what the Dems do is give their deviants standing ovations on the floor of the House of Representatives, that is a very big 'DIFFERENCE'.

Well at least they will have a lot of friends in hell. Although I don't think they will be applauding. LOL

It's true; the Republicans do vote their displeasure from time to time, when Republicans begin to act , like Democrats while in office. What we don't do that the Dems have no problem doing is bringing up, race when you get your first chance to elect a Black man as president. We don't bring up drugs about the one we are running against from what I've seen, we also don't call each other 'racists' to win the nomination to run for President. Sure we talk about politics and say we don't agree how to run the Country (Voodoo economics) or other ways. I don't think the Republicans have looked into the personal lives of opponents in their own party like you have now.

He had a boyfriend who was involved in running a gay prostitution ring. Barney did not know about it when the two of them first 'got together'.

When Barney did find out about it, he immediately ended his 'relationship' with that guy. It has been proved that Barney knew nothing about that prostitution ring and was not involved in it.

It is just another attempt at "guilt by association" by the neocons ....

--Sadly, when Democrats forgive the transgressions of their spouses, this often seems to enrage right wingers even more than the actual sin being forgiven. Consider right wing women as well as subhuman creatures like Katherine Harris, for a moment. Note that I said, "consider" them --not *visualize* or get an image of them in your head. Now, these disgusting, ignorant servile sheep who are willing to vote for McCain (a doddering, finger-counting, imbecile who isn't even afraid to tell them he believes women deserve to be paid less than men) despise Hillary Clinton. Why? Because she had the courage to keep private her feelings about her husbands moral failings. Oh, do the wingjob women hate Hillary. Why won't she melt down in public? How dare she allow this experience to make her stronger. Damn her! ;-x

"The Rs usually toss thier shamed ones out, the Dems promote theirs."

"Those close to Fossella continue to support him. 'I got every indication that he plans to run again,' said Guy Molinari. 'He's not just inclined to run. He plans on running. Vito is surprised and emboldened by the support he's been getting. He's gotten a lot of encouragement. I told him nobody is going to run a primary against him if you decide to run again.'"

Don't forget David Vitter (R-LA) who received APPLAUSE after confessing to hiring prostitutes--the SAME crime for which Elliott Spitzer (D-NY) was forced out of office.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19795296/

"Sen. David Vitter returned to the Capitol, apologizing privately to GOP colleagues. In a private weekly luncheon for Republican senators, Vitter briefly spoke and received a round of applause audible outside the room."

--Um, libsr are you REALLY in any position to label anyone else a bigot? If you think so, you might want to scan backwards in this thread where you repeat lies about two gay Congress members (as if the mere fact that they are gay somehow makes their involvement with young males (each of whom was of legal consenting age in the District of Columbia at the time of the incidents to which you referred) makes them more heinous. Why do you deliberately leave details like that out when you haul out your worn out lies (from the conjobs' sorry bag of tricks) about Frank and Studds? Isn't it because if you were actually truthful, the story would be a lot less sensational than what you're making it out to be? I'm right, aren't I, libsr. Be honest for once. ;-P

"They eat their own, with no regrets! N2N you really said that after watching your own party over the last 10 weeks?"

Speak for yourself.

"Republicans used the PA, IN, and NC primaries to register their unhappiness with McCain by voting for Ron Paul, Mike Huckabee, or Mitt Romney. In Penn, 27% opted for Huckabee or Paul; in N Carolina and Indiana, McCain opponents earned 23% of the vote. The Washington Times calculated that McCain had garnered no more than 45% of the Republican vote."

It's expected that a race as close as Hillary Clinton's and Barack Obama's would get a little chippy. That shouldn't be surprising. What IS surprising is that McCain's own party continues to chew him up and spit him out--as detailed in the article cited above.

"Well, he is in New York where that kind of thing seems to be a political past time lol. Should the new NY gov also resign after admitting his philandering?"

At least David Paterson and his wife both consented and knew of these affairs during the rough patch in their marriage.

Shouldn't David Vitter (R-LA) be forced out of office for confessing to hiring prostitutes from the DC madam--the EXACT crime for which Elliott Spitzer was forced out of office? Instead, he was greeted by the GOP WITH APPLAUSE.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19795296/

"Louisiana Sen. David Vitter returned to the Capitol Tuesday, apologizing privately to GOP colleagues but refusing to take reporters' questions about the sex scandal. In a private weekly luncheon for Republican senators in the Capitol, Vitter briefly spoke and received a round of applause audible outside the room."

Your partisan hypocrisy is astounding.

--You're such a total lying bigot, libsr. Do you think you're being clever when you pretend you don't know the difference between being accused of a crime and being tried and convicted? What does "Barney Frank with" the prostitution ring mean, precisely? Please explain what crimes Barney Frank and Gerry Studds committed and were convicted of. Exactly... Don't bother. You CAN'T because you know you're lying. You're LYING as usual because that's the only way wingjobs can gain an advantage--through lies, theft, and deception.

This is why America has been utterly turned into a toilet over the last 8 years. Cons absolutely cannot be trusted--they lie and thieve with such ease and abandon and then pretend that anyone skeptical of their "successes" is paranoid or biased.

--Well, it looks a *little* different when one considers that those who claim to hold the moral high ground on "family values" are just as likely (if not more so) to be the ones caught with their pants down as Democrats are. I'm not claiming that Democrats who brought up on morals charges can claim immunity simply because they don't go around claiming to be pure but I do think it makes the misdeeds of Republicans who play the "family values" card (Larry Craig and David Vitter, for instance) all the more egregious. This is what cons like libsrfunny above always conveniently fail to mention when they parrot the same story about Barney Frank (the only one they learned by heart from Rush).

"King said Republicans "who are supposed to be his friends" should be giving the Staten Island-Brooklyn Republican "the time and opportunity to make that decision" -- whether to resign, to serve out his term but leave afterward or to stay in office and seek another term -- "himself."

--What King means is that the "liberal media" needs more time to manufacture another "controversy" about Barack Obama potent enough to shove Fossella out of the headlines for a couple of weeks (much like the Wright story did for Spitzer--albeit a little too late for him, unfortunately), and give him time to cry and bite his lower lip on cue on camera and announce he's going into rehab.

If you desire true change in the system and those that run it, fine. If you support the status quo, then you are contributing to the problem.

You either must accept both sides exhibiting this behavior or you must condemn both sides for the behavior.

I really could care less what goes on in their private lives. I am concerned about how the government is being run in their public lives. Unfortunately, neither side has what I would even call a passing grade.

We, the voting public, must demand better from our elected officials. We are continuing to support those that would not even rate a *does not meet expectations* evaluation.

Now, my fellow Republicans, any of you so-called "patriots" wish to challenge this fair and unbiased offer?

Or, are you still hiding behind a flag calling people un-patriotic and terrorists, because you think you are posting the truth???

Peace, all Americans deserve what we fought for!!!

You also have Barney Frank with the gay male prostitution ring and Gary Studds who was nailing teenage boys.

Yes, the wheel just goes round and round, but you can put your blinders on and pretend it's only Republicans getting caught with their pants down. You boneheads might have noticed the story says Republicans are pressuring the guy to leave office.

I would certainly applaud being a forgiving nation with compassion. Because that would be a sign that man has truly turned from worshipping idols and greed. To living with the credo of loving ones' neighbor as one loves themself.

Lets' see though we have have the neocons doing everything they can to destroy this nation. Trying to bring about their vision of what America and the world should be.

It's ok if they cheat, lie, steal, commit adultery, worship idols, murder, rape or allow rape to happen... as long as it is their guys or their is a large profit in it for them.

I can't stomach that while they stand and say they are Christians. They are wolves in sheeps clothing seeking to devour what they can.

Even non believers know better than to allow these things. How they must look at Christians and say, "Bush says he is a Christian and look what he does."

Foley, Vitter, Craig, Fossella. One resigned in shame, another cried and continues in Congress, Next one thinks he did nothing wrong and continues in Congress and the last one is being shielded from going in to oblivion.

On the Democrats side, John McGreevy resigned the same day he declared he was a Gay. Elliot Spitzer quit with or without pressure.

Republican hypocrites lead by John McCain who want to lead the country for the next 4 years, hang in there.

Then you have Larry Craig(ID-R) who pleads GUILTY to a crime, where his actions are inconsistent with the platform of his party and his constituents and nearly a year later is still in office.

And now, Fossella(NY-R) faces criminal charges, admits to an affair AND a child resulting FROM that affair and King said Republicans "who are supposed to be his friends" should be giving him "the time and opportunity to make that decision" whether to resign, to serve out his term but leave afterward or to stay in office and seek another term "himself.

This is just another shining example of do as I say and not as I do coming from another staunch supporter and member of the party of Family Values.

What a pack of lying hypocrites!

And bloggers like aniokly continue to portray Clinton as so immoral.

But when a Republican participates in 'immoral' behavior, its no big deal ...

Hypocrites ...

Yet Bill was a national disgrace for gettina BJ?

Yeah OK. Cons mean con men. Lets try this, kick him out of office. For conduct unbecoming a representative of the United States. Drunk driving. Affair. No class. No anything except concern for himself. Typical con.

DEFIANT VITO: I CAN CHEAT AND RUN

Defying disgusted constituents and Republican leaders, disgraced Rep. Vito Fossella has told pals he plans to seek re-election.

And, shockingly, the he is feeling "pretty good" despite the public pounding he's taking over his double life, he confided to friends. He even expressed shock that other Republicans are eyeing his seat. "What's this all about?" Fossella asked Guy Molinari, Fossella's political mentor, of news reports naming potential GOP candidates. He said he was "surprised" and "puzzled" that party colleagues are being mentioned as possible replacements.

Those close to Fossella continue to support him. "Vito is surprised and emboldened by the support he's been getting. He's gotten a lot of encouragement," said Molinari. "I told him nobody is going to run a primary against him if you decide to run again."

"He's entitled to an interval of decency without having this constant pressure coming from his own party," King said of his friend charged with drunken driving in a Virginia suburb.

HOWEVER, Democrats are never entitled to the same interval of decency. These cons need to stop thinking anything they do is ok. I know Spitzer was dealing with prostitutes, but adultry is adultry.
