I disagree totally with your comment "For a working-class voter to support a Republican is like a chicken supporting Colonel Sanders!" Me, my family and all my friends are "working-class" and we fully support REPUBLICANS. The only working-class that doesn't support Republicans is union workers, and we all know why that is.

Hillary Clinton is much more compassionate towards the working class citizens. It has been obvious throughout her campaign. Those good people are smarter than they are given credit for & use their common sense. They know Hillary is there for them. Because of them she will emerge the winner. They know the country NEEDS her kind of leadership. VOTE HILLARY! OBAMA IS NOT UP TO THE TASK AT THIS TIME. VOTE 4 HILLARY!

No........... why is that angela? Republicans have the thinking that we should all work for them and give everything back to them. Any working class person who chooses to vote for a republican is just plain goofy. One republican president once said that all a working man needed was a dollar a day and a clean pair of coveralls. Think about it Angela

Frankly, Obama isn't for any of the suckers who support him. He will make it very apparent who he really supports if he becomes President.
You think everyone feels duped over Bush - this guy is going to shock the world.
I see it coming if he is elected.

What will damage the Democratic Party
beyond repair? Barack Obama
The DNC, Democratic party, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, superdelegates look
very foolish with their continued push for Obama. Obama is a severly
damaged candidate, and their continued pushing him down the Americans
throats make them look severely damage. I believe he is a weak
candidate, and Pelosi's mouth is watering because she knows he will
easily be manipulated by the far left radicals. I have loved the
Democratic Party my entire life, I have no racial bias, and yet I see
a country now divided and people turning against each other over race,
and people who are talking about leaving The Democratic Party. Yet, no
one is noticing? NO TO OBAMA/NO TO ANY SUPERDELEGATE WHO SUPPORTS HIM

The Great Deceivers

Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior
As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.
The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.
Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
Why?
“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”
How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn’t do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals – including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum – who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.
Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.
The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O’Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.
The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970.
“As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer,” Zeifman said.
The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do?
“Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.
The brief was so fraudulent and ridiculous, Zeifman believes Hillary would have been disbarred if she had submitted it to a judge.
Zeifman says that if Hillary, Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar had succeeded, members of the House Judiciary Committee would have also been denied the right to cross-examine witnesses, and denied the opportunity to even participate in the drafting of articles of impeachment against Nixon.
Of course, Nixon’s resignation rendered the entire issue moot, ending Hillary’s career on the Judiciary Committee staff in a most undistinguished manner. Zeifman says he was urged by top committee members to keep a diary of everything that was happening. He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story. Certainly, he could not have known in 1974 that diary entries about a young lawyer named Hillary Rodham would be of interest to anyone 34 years later.
But they show that the pattern of lies, deceit, fabrications and unethical behavior was established long ago – long before the Bosnia lie, and indeed, even before cattle futures, Travelgate and Whitewater – for the woman who is still asking us to make her president of the United States.

Obama represents the ELITE CLASS of the America of today......He is too plasticky to relate to the blue collar worker and that is why, his candidacy has been shunned by the work9ng class.
JCE229:37AMMay 6th 2008
I can't believe anyone with an IQ above 5 pts would vote for Obama. You just have to look at their tricks to see what they're all about. Last night there was a clear Obama supporter using the screen name George Wallace, claiming to be a Clinton supporter.. Before that they claimed using Obama's middle name was racist. And they don't do these tactice in states with small minority populations, but when they want to basically call African Americans stupid, as was the case in South Carolina as well, they pull out these ridiculous tactics. LOL..
And when you ask people in their campaign, they say they're outsmarting the Clinton people with stuff like that. Yeah right, if racism is a sign of intellect, they're true geniuses. Anyone that has ever been in a chatroom knows being a a faker doesn't equate to intelligence, most of the time, very far indeed from any intelligence at all.
With that being said, I do think Hillary could pull off an upset in NC today. Zogby has been trying to play dirty politics all week as well, which tells me they're worried as heck about NC.
Hello, these are the people you're thinking of nominating here, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see what they're.
And thie post will never make it, too much truth in it, so I will stop typing now.

Barack HUSSEIN Osama Obama -- first Muslim president of the World Muslim Committee to elect the first Muslim as President of The United States.

Would you brain dead liberal socialist morons actually elect HUSSEIN Obama as President of The Untied States of America? Please say yes and confirm that liberalism is a mental disorder.

GSI10:31AMMay 6th 2008
Senator Obama tells the truth. Senator Clinton is an experienced liar. The word is out that Pastor Wright was buddies with the Clintons when Bill was president and that the Clintons paid off Wright to go against Obama. Hmm, makes you wonder -- especially since the Clintons know every dirty trick in the book taught by the Republicans.
Senator Obama will be one of our greatest presidents
Jim10:31AMMay 6th 2008
McCain doesn't have to "beat" HUSSEIN Obama or Billary Clinton -- as those two liberal socialist left-wing brain-dead moronic clowns beat themselves every time they open their mouths.

HUSSEIN Obama will be President of The United States about 12 years after someone named HITLER is President of The United States.

HUSSEIN Obama is, was, and always has been a joke to everyone but rabid socialist liberals -- and since we all know that liberalism is a mental disorder, they don't count.

Concerning the Rev. Wrong Wright, Obama said, “I could no more denounce this man than I could my white grandmother.”
Well, now that Obama has kicked the old fart to the curb like a cheap whore, his "white grandmother" better watch her mouth.

Ok....sooo...let's see. It basically comes down to this: The uneducated people are voting for Hillary and the educated people are voting for Obama.
If Hillary wins, she will be the candidate of the uneducated.
If Obama wins, he will be the candidate of the educated.
My question: Would you rather have someone in the white house who is supported by educated people or uneducated people?
Out.
