Political Crap OT
wrote in message
... Looking from the outside, it looks like the Democrats are beating themselves with a stick. Slinging mud at each other,,,McCain must be chuckling at the ineptitude. The single biggest thing that is being demonstrated in primary after primary is that America is still fundamentally racist, There are numbers to support that contention, but you could also look at it the other way. Enough people have broken away from the pea- brained bigotry of our caveman ancestors that the U.S. could have a black President by this time next year. If Obama is the nominee, then the vast majority of Hillary supporters will go with him. "Capt. JG" wrote: I don't see it that way. I think that given the record turnout, no matter who finally is the nominee, that person will be pretty much fully supported by the people who voted for the other person. Maybe, but more likely not. There are a lot of people who really really *hate* the Clintons, Republicans & Democrats alike. Perhaps, but compared to continuing the current policies, they would likely hold their nose. At the moment, I think Obama has a better shot. Remember, the U.S. has an official 2-party system, but each party is really a coalition similar to those cobbled together under the parliamentary system. Hillary & Obama each have their own constituencies, which do have a large overlap... but when one or the other finally wins, some members of the losers coalition will drop out. It's inevitable. The question is, how many and will they be PO'd enough to vote Republican (for President)? Anyone who's son or daughter is fighting in Iraq, not to mention the people themselves. Cheney was booed recently during a speech there. Some of the soldiers were trash-talking him to reporters during the speech to reporters. How many times has that happened. The Pentagon's own people think it's a "debacle" of huge perportions. The economy is in a shambles. .... How anyone can seriously consider voting for McCain, given all that he is/stands for... continuing the war, lack of fiscal understanding, poor human rights outlook, not to mention his age, etc., is certainly beyond me. I could explain it, but you might not want to listen. I would certainly consider voting for McCain for President under many possible circumstances. He's better than Bush, but that's not saying much. He probably doesn't lie as much as Bush, but that's not saying much. He's got military experience more than Bush (who has practically zero), but that's not saying much. He's too old, but I guess he's better than someone's who's brain dead like Bush. There, I thought of four things. LOL bs removed -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
