Why are you so paranoid?
Because, doc, everyone's out to get me! This campaign season has taught me three things: a) Obama's supporters are a messianic mass of young people, ignorant of history and eager to slander whoever stands in their path toward a nebulous...more »

Torture 101
Early in the primary season, Rudy Giuliani commented, "I’m not sure [waterboarding] is [torture]. It depends on how it’s done. It depends on the circumstances. It depends on who does it. I think the way it’s been defined in the...more »

I don't think it's brought up to ridicule Clinton, but I have thought it'd send the wrong message to her supporters. With people seeing sexism under every rock and behind every bush, it would be ridiculous to have Big Ol' Papa Obama come down and give Lil' Hillary an allowance to pay off her debts. She's a big girl and can handle that side of her affairs handily on her own.

From one Obama supporter to another, you fail on both counts of humor and humanity. Be more respectful of your fellows.

It says nothing about the candidate who is ahead (but doesn't have a majority of delegates either) gets to pick the delegates for these states.
Well, I'm glad you at least acknowledge Obama had no hand in the FL/MI situation.
Take a few deep breaths before you respond again, I'm worried for you and your blood pressure.

You may want to check how the Democrats in those Republican controlled legislatures voted before you start tossing around accusations of being uninformed.

Mainly that Obama is ahead by every metric, and there is no possibility for Clinton to catch up. She will win the nomination only if the vast majority of undeclared superdelegates go for her, which they are unlikely to do based on the fact that she is behind by every metric.
This is not a conspiracy run by Obama supporters, this is an election. That's how they work.
