"Forty-one percent of Clinton supporters said they'd cast their vote for John McCain, ..."

[TahitiNut]

Two-thirds of Clinton's supporters there said they would vote Republican or not vote at all rather than for Obama, according to the polls.

Forty-one percent of Clinton supporters said they'd cast their vote for John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee, and 23 percent said they would not vote at all.

Just 33 percent said they would back Obama in the general election, according to the polls.

Congratulations, Kentucky! Why not just put a burning cross on your state flag?

Pure Komedy ...

1. This is why my opinion of her has now turned to hatred: She is silent

regarding her enormous bigot base.

Meanwhile, she's going around the country accusing everyone of sexism. I will never forgive her for this. EVER. She will forever be on my shit list.

[Genevieve]

3. . . . .

I can never forgive her either.

34. I'm sure she'll come around though.

I bet she'll campaign her heart out for Obama when the time comes?

[Genevieve]

2. So, that means 2/3 of her supporters cannot truly call

themselves Democrats.

[BalancedGoat]

5. Almost 15% said they wouldn't vote for her either.

Unless I messed up the math.

(edit - I meant to reply to the OP)

[AZBlue]

4. Did Limbaugh have a little chat with Kentucky too?

[nightrain]

6. yes, the agony of defeat, but come November if those

Dems who say they'd vote for McCain work through their hurt, probably many of them wouldn't want more McBush administration, and more horrible Supreme Court nominees, so they will probably come around....

[cboy4]

7. OK Tahiti, like any of those people are really Democrats.

OK....I read the song wrong.

I still don't believe these are Democrats and I still don't know what the point of this OP is.

[goldcanyonaz]

11. ermm, did you read the Poster? Anyone but clinton?

[cboy4]

16. Sorry for not really wanting to read the Ku Klux Klan member's

sign more clearly.

Well, now it makes no sense at all to me .. the KKK voting for the black man.

At any rate, I highly doubt these people are Democrats.

[goldcanyonaz]

18. Yeah, but you are *reasonable* and we love you because of that

[cboy4]

33. Thanks :-)

:hug:

[woolldog]

14. No they ARE democrats. Wake up!

[SheilaT]

8. How about those of us who

are Obama supporters who don't think we can vote for her in November? I'd consider not bothering to cast a vote in the Presidential slot, because I'd certainly be voting for other offices, and I wouldn't vote for McCain, but I'm not sure I could bring myself to vote for her. And I'm probably not alone.

[TahitiNut]

21. You're not alone.

:pals:

[DearAbby]

30. You're not alone either

:hug:

[cliffordu]

10. Too bad they didn't donate to her campaign.

Too bad she can't make a speech without begging.

Too bad she is a racist sexist pantsuited panderbear.

Too bad she won't do the right thing.

Too bad her little minions on this board are such voiciferous boors.

McCain will win this just so she can be served.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. Kind of says it all about Hillary don'tcha think?

[otohara]

13. Shameful

I had no idea - democrats aren't supposed to like this.

[leeroysphitz]

15. 14 percent of all people know that. n/t

[TahitiNut]

17. Hi, neighbor!

Yes, my cousin, more than just 14%, actually. :hi:

How about them Tigers tonight? :woohoo:

[leeroysphitz]

35. The Tigers? Did they win? I don't know from sports.

But :hi: right back at you in any event! :)

[TahitiNut]

41. Yup. Tigers won (score like a football game) and the Red Wings won last night.

We get to see the Red Wings vs. the Penguins in the Stanley Cup finals. We might have party time in the city if they take it.
:party:

[MonkeyFunk]

19. well

portraying all of them as klansmen is sure to boost his support. :eyes:

[shadowknows69]

20. I doubt it

Once they stare the RW in the face and realize what McCain means.

[aquarius dawning]

22. Looks like the racists in your picture are voting for Obama over Hillary.

[TahitiNut]

46. Check your dictionary for the words "gullible" and "comedy" - and see post #94 below.

:eyes:

[graywarrior]

23. I heard on a radio station tonight that race was a factor in KY

That pisses me off more than I can express.

[OzarkDem]

24. KKK for Obama, eh

Interesting that Obama is attracting the white robe vote now. Hate is a real Obama campaign value.

[TahitiNut]

31. Uh-huh... because we all know that the Klan's public endorsement is so persuasive, right?

:eyes: Riiiight.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

25. 41% of Clinton voters in Kentucky embrace Republican values

:shrug:

[DemExpat]

26. KKKers for Obama?

Weird OP....putting down Hillary voters for being racist....

DemEx

[TahitiNut]

32. You'd have to be more familiar with the twisted nature of Southern bigot polititcs.

Believe me, white-washing Aunt Polly's picket fence was only the simplest of beginnings.

Also ... see post #94 below. (I called it "Komedy" ... and thought that should be enough.)

[morningglory]

27. Mmm hmm. Republics running operation chaos. Letting it drop, now. nt

[defendandprotect]

28. What reasons do they give for this --- are we presuming this is racism . . ????

-- or what --- ???

[TahitiNut]

53. It's probably because of Hillary's roots in Kentucky where she was raised.

:rofl:

[Perry Logan]

29. Obama's campaign talked unity and split the party. What a bunch of screw-ups.

[boppers]

52. Wait, split the party?

Hillary's campaign dredged a bunch of racists into our folds, and Obama's campaign didn't want them?

OH NOES!

[kenny blankenship]

36. What they didn't tell you was that the same 41% would vote McCain over Hillary

[avenger64]

37. These Obama supporters on here are shrill and nasty ....

... it makes me really wonder what his campaign is all about.

[tmoore411]

38. Once again with the if tripe about racism

Just because Obama doesn't win, you claim racism. That is the single most pitiful argument/debate I have ever heard/read. Maybe, just maybe the voters don't agree with his positions, experience, character, associations or honesty. Stop projecting your guilt onto others, and btw, as a native american, that dog don't hunt...no one in this country has ever done a thing to me personally that was bigoted/racist or whatever and I don't presume to understand the hell that my ancestors went thru nor do I intend to demean their burdens by claiming that I am "owed" something because they were persecuted, that is the position of a weak mind and flawed character IMO.

[scarletwoman]

39. k&r -- Yeah, such a service she's done our country: arousing the redneck bigot vote.

She doesn't give a shit for anything other than her own sense of entitlement.

Man, I SOOOOO want the Clintons and all their minions OUT of the Democratic Party! From the get-go, they and their pet monster, the DLC, have been nothing but destructive to what few shreds remained of the Dem Party of FDR.

They are just Neocons of a slightly different hue. They are an infestation of parasites who have been eating away at the host body of the Democratic Party for far too long. Like any parasite, they don't give a shit if they kill off their host.

If the Clintons actually prevail -- and I still think it's at least a 50/50 chance -- then, it seems to me that true Progressives need to do some heavy strategizing about how they are going deal with the Pod Party that will remain.

We need to stop pretending that the simulcrum that has been left behind by the DLCers bears any resemblence or relation to the Democratic Party whose Platonic Ideal is the image we hold so dear to our hearts. We have to look unflinchingly into the reality and start figuring out what we are going to do about it, instead of pretending it's not what it actually is.

40. "Put a burning cross on your state flag"

This kind of shit is why I just can't get behind Obama.

It can't be that he is seen as weaker in foreign policy, or promoting too much appeasement of the Republican agenda. It can't be that he is too inexperienced. It can't be that he plays the middle too much in politics.

No. To some of you, every time it has to be because he is black. You have no clue how much you hurt your candidate with this shit.

[scarletwoman]

42. Yes, because Clinton gleefully claiming the redneck bigot vote is so much more seemly.

I never wanted Obama OR Clinton. But I've known I didn't want Clinton since 2002. Why any true Democratic voter would want to put another DLCer in the White House defies common sense.

Did you never notice how many Democratic Congresspeople we lost when Bill Clinton was in office? Clintons and their DLC cohort are POISON to the Democratic Party.

Hillary doesn't give a shit about anything except her own ambitions and sense of entitlement. There won't be a Democratic Party worthy of what that name used to mean left once she gets done with her "campaign".

I'm only supporting Obama by default. He's the only weapon left to fight off the DLC and the Clintons. Not the weapon I would have preferred, but he'll have to do, and this is a crucial fight.

sw

[Ravy]

51. I will support him, by default, as well.

I just can't get on the band wagon. If he is elected, and I consider that a big if, at the moment, I look forward to 4 years of racial posturing at every criticism, like this OP did. To me, that is the worst of the Democratic Party, and we will be putting that foot forward as representative of the party as a whole.

[IndianaGreen]

43. I'll bet most of Hillary's white voters voted for Bush in '04

Reagan Democrats are Republicans.

[Clintonista2]

44. That's what happens when you treat Hillary supporters like crap

They don't reward you.

[TahitiNut]

48. Well, sorry about that. (I'll try not to scrape them off my shoe the next time.)

47. many in the white power movement want obama to be president

they think if obama becomes president the white race will awaken and there will be the race war that will cleanse america of the black,brown ,and yellow people....yes they actually believe this will happen. they hate johnnie boy,hillary,and barack but barack serves their "Purpose".

the more "intelligent" ones are voting for ron paul....

i read stormfront so you guys do`t have to....that`s why i was dismayed when hillary started the "white" male voters

[TahitiNut]

49. "Pure Komedy" (Read post #94.)

:shrug:

[madrchsod]

50. i read stormfront...

it`s as big a debate as what we are having here between hillary and barack. yes the leader of any klan group would never endorse obama...

[stevietheman]

54. Kentucky's Democratic Party has a strange history

I'm from Kentucky, and I'm telling you: a large number of Democrats here are basically DINOs and are usually easily persuaded to vote for Republicans. It has to do with the history of the state dating back to the Civil War where it was considered all but criminal to belong to the Republican Party after the war was over. So we have a lot of family lineage belonging to the Democratic Party, but largely agreeing with conservative Republican candidates.
