Now all of a sudden you want to try to muzzel me. Whatever! Get over it. I am practicing what I preach I haven’t called folks nearly as much as I have thought about calling them. Y’all aren’t slick. the reason you want me to shut up is because i didn’t walk lock step with you on this issue. Oh well get over it.

On that note because there isn’t a single thing more we can add to a thread with 200 comments I think we can end this particular debate. I think all sides have been represented in the comments so far and no minds will be changed one way of or the other.

THE. END.

PS. If you NEVER come back again EVER. EVER. EVER because you don’t like a post or comment… I consider that a bonus!

What is crazy is that there was NO WAY McCain was going to win this election with his base being blase’ about him. Obama is going to bring out record Black votes in NC, VA, and GA and some other places, not to mention the youth vote. In 2004, the Democrat almost. ALMOST beat the republican ground machine and Obama is building a stronger machine that Kerry had.

But now all of a sudden McCain has thrown them into a tizzy and Obama supporters are going to cause a New Hamphire effect. I don’t care what the national polls said prior to the DNCC, Obama was leading in electoral college votes. Why one earth are the falling for this Palin trap??

It’s a TRAP! It’s a TRAP! ignore her …. and her kids.

Is this what they wanted? Or perhaps they would have preferred if Palin’s daughter had an abortion. Or maybe Palin herself should have had an abortion. They would have had a perfect gotcha moment.

Instead those who spread those vicious rumors look small. They drug a private family matter (that a lot of families (regardless of race experience) into the open.

And now Palin is even more the martyr. We know that she walks it like she talks it.

If the GOP conservative wasn’t energized they are now and they may be joined by a lot of conservative, traditional black Christians who might have made the same decisions as she.

What is the basis of that conclusion because I have visited a number of Clinton supporter sites that say otherwise.

McCain doesn’t need them to vote for him. He just needs to dampen their enthusiasm for Obama. Staying at home equals voting for McCain. maybe the women you know wont be fooled by the Palin pick, but don’t assume all women feel that way. McCain doesn’t have to get a majority of the single womens’ vote, just a larger percentage than bush in the right states.

Instead of engaging in wishful thinking about women won’t do, you ought to be focussing on registering voters and opening up a dialog with folks about why you think they should vote for Obama.

He already gets blame for what his preacher says in the pulpit. He had to rebuke Wesley Clarke. He had to rebuke Bernie Mac. He had to rebuke his own staffers. OF COURSE he is going to be held responsible for this foolishness with Palin’s daughter.

I said months ago on another board full of acolytes that eventually they would be repudiated by Obama because their behavior was inconsistent with his message of a new kind of politics. Savaging a pregnant teenage girl is political suicide. IT takes the focus off of Palin’s policies and places it on biography.

So now we are going to spend more time talking about how people are treating the daughter than we will about Republican policies.

Like I said. McCain knew exactly what he was doing. In an election where charges of sexism are already hanging out there, this only exacerbates an issue Obama wanted to go away, but his supporters have other plans.

People will still be counting fingers & toes, but it will definitely be a turn off to me if they decide to take this route.

I actually liked the “new” politics that Obama was saying was possible. I know he can’t control every loose lip, but I’m a new believer that your supporters can sink you faster than the enemy.
