From the COLUMNA de AZTLAN:
"So, as he tried to win over the conservative base by shifting his immigration stance, he hurt himself with Latinos who have been stung by the toxic environment created by Republicans’ unbridled anger over immigration.
The candidate who is benefiting from McCain’s Latino dilemma is Obama"

Gallup:
Hispanic registered voters' support for Barack Obama for president remained consistent and strong in June, with Obama leading John McCain by 59% to 29% among this group.
McCane is wasting money producing commercials targeted at a group that clearly hates him. That is more than teh awesomes.Posted at July 3, 2008 2:59 PM in response to New McCain Radio Ad Attacks Obama Over Hispanic Vote

So, if my employer tells me to rape someone, I wouldn't be held accountable?
Sounds weird to me.

People are always itching to smear Ralph no matter what he says or does. All because they still cling to the false notion that Nader got Bush elected.
First, your flat f**king wrong. Second, you are projecting your hatred and ignorance.
If you took even one moment to understand what Nader was talking about, is that he is pushing Barack to be more forceful. More in your face about reality. Less "old white politician". And Ralph hit the nail on the head.
Barack has been too ready to throw gays "under the bus" because of what? His religion!
He does play things safe, and by the old-school white guy playbook, when he thinks he needs to, as to not alienate blocks of voters. But the thing we all love about him is when he *doesnt* play by the old-white guy rules and shoves reality in your face.
This is what Nader is trying to get out of Barack. But you people would rather tear him to shreds than listen to what he's trying to say.
Oh well, your loss. Nader's been a champion for you whether you want it or not.

Actually, I think "cultist" is spot-on.
Nader has a very good point here, and as much as I like Barack, he's a backroom dealer just like the rest of em. And I'm not talking Rezko or other nonsense. But I am talking about same-sex marriage, NSA/FISA, and his other capitulations that have left a lot of us wanting.
Nader, for all his flaws, has just as much a right to run for POTUS as anyone else, and if you think he's the (boring and redundant) reason Gore didn't win, that's your problem.
btw: we're dealing with a 911-troof-mover here. This woman thinks the WTC7 was demolished from timed explosives. Nuff said.

"I don't believe anything we've been told about 9-11. Not one fucking word of it."
Oh please, not this again.

Totally.
And what's with that Ron Paul guy? Doesn't he know that McSame is the über-ultimate-daddy winner, and he's just being a spoiled, rotten, bratty-face potty-pants loser?

It's funny so many are balking at the Clinton/Obama ticket, when just today:
"A new USA Today/Gallup poll finds that 55% of Democrats want Sen. Barack Obama to choose Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate."
It's sad and strange to see so many of us political-junkies completely missread what the voters want. The majority of voters aren't reading TPM, nor Eschaton, nor any other blog. They're wanting to kill the GOP in November, and it seems that they think the best way is to have both powerhouses smash their machine down the throat of McCain.Posted at May 13, 2008 12:48 PM in response to ABC/WaPo Poll: Obama Ahead Of McCain

Personally, I haven't read HuffPo in nearly six months. I found the level of Pro-Bama-ness to be way too off the charts, and the anti-HRC rhetoric to be reaching Drudgian levels.
Combine this with the fact that Arianna spent most of the 90's (when she was still GOP) as one of the most vocal celebs attacking Hillary at every chance she got, and HuffPo seemed to be more and more biased every day.
Frankly, I feel a lot better not reading that blog/rag any longer.
