MSNBC Hardball - April 25, 2008.

"Congressman Clyburn said Mr. Clinton's conduct in this campaign had caused what might be an irreparable breach between Mr. Clinton and an African American constituency that once revered him. When he was going through his impeachment problems, it was the black community that bellied up to the bar. Mr. Clyburn said, 'I think black folks feel strongly that this is a strange way for President Clinton to show his appreciation'. He added that there appeared to be an almost unanimous view among African Americans that Mr. and Mrs. Clinton were committed to doing everything they possibly can to damage Obama to a point that he could never win.

Despite Senator Obama's positive remark this could be the beginning of the end of the Democratic Party, at least the way it is now. The Clintons have managed to destroy our party. Thanks to the Superdelegates most African Americans now see what the Democratic Party is all about. They say that if history is any indication the Republican President, Abe Lincoln, was the one who abolished slavery. Civil Rights wouldn't have succeeded had it not been for the Republicans. Sen. Fulbright, Bill Clinton's mentor, was against Civil rights. The Clintons have sided with the rich and powerful Jewish minority as against the poor African American minority. Bush, the Republican, has done more for Africa and African Americans. While Bill Clinton appointed a Jew as Secretary of State, Bush appointed an African American. Clinton appointed a token few African Americans in his cabinet. But the Secretary of Defense, CIA Chief, and many other top positions including 24 Ambassadors to important nations of the free world.

The Clintons have made this campaign dirty beyond repair. They have succeeded to polarize the party and the nation. The Democratic Party, thanks to the Clintons, has gone back to its origin "The Bigots". The Clintons will earn one more medal as their legacy as destroyers of a progressive party, in addition to the immorality they brought to the White house."

2. Why....oh why do we have to keep seeing tucker's puss on the tv?

He is such a dumb ass, geek loser, and yet tweety keeps asking him back, as though he has something worthwhile to share?

God....let him disappear and find a job that meets his skill level.

3. I found myself agreeing with Tucker at first, until he spouted "popular vote"

First, it's a hybrid vote total, not a popular vote total like we would see in a general election.

More importantly, the majority of Senator Clinton's votes (54%) came from only five states.

Of these five states, both candidates would be expected to win the two biggest in the general election (California and New York). In the other three, Senator Obama polls better in Texas, and Senator Clinton polls better in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

I wouldn't mind seeing Tucker wearing a Wal-mart Greeter smock!

4. Enough

I was neutral in this primary.

But enough is enough. Both Clintons have done irrepairable damage to their own images, and to the Democratic Party.

I am pissed at Hillary. Bitch, bow out gracefully. She and Bill are nothing short of rabid dogs.
