Renata, Your responses are becoming increasingly tangential. Do you even “read” another’s post before you start formulating your word arsenal of repetitive, self-righteous, declarations? Where I come from they call that “mental masturbation” and it’s generally a solo act. Kara did NOT say she was voting for McCain. She said if you represent Obama (paraphrase) she would then vote McCain. Do you get that? Can you read your audience? Are you able to see that you are doing your candidate a serious disservice. I am afraid I will have to relegate you to the likes of Dr. Mark Klein and “De-Klein” your posts as well if you persist in these rants.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/nancy-cohen-phd/clintonism-a-post-mortem_b… Clintonism: A Post-Mortem …What was Clintonism? Depending on your perspective, its distinguishing characteristic was either astute centrism or craven triangulation. Yet, at the heart of Clintonism, was a fixed assumption about the nature of the American electorate. Clintonism looked at the trends of voter turnout, a steady decline of voting from the 1960s onward, and saw a citizenry that was tuned out and turned off by politics. The only way for Democrats to win was to narrowcast to the few people who were still listening and whose votes were still up for grabs. Bottom line? Ignore the rest, the millions of nonvoters. The essence of Clintonism was this cynical electoral strategy. Then, as now, special deference was paid to so-called Reagan Democrats — white, working-class men. (I’ll have more to say about white working-class women on other occasions.) They still voted, and their votes swung between the parties. They had seemed to respond in 1980, 1984, and 1988 to conservative social and cultural appeals. (Often enough — Reagan’s “welfare queen” invention, Bush senior’s Willie Horton ad — these appeals were racially-coded.) The signature gestures of Clinton’s 1992 campaign, the Sister Souljah smackdown, his attendance at the execution of Ricky Ray Rector, were played to this audience. To wit, Democrats must take the electorate as it was — its size, its predilections — not as it could be. Bill Clinton didn’t invent the theory of the mythical swinging middle, but he honed it into the Golden Rule for Democratic victory….

Thank you, Lily. I understand some just can’t — and why they can’t. America has changed — for the better. CHANGE is difficult, but change we must. The world is waiting and China has almost four times the size of our population. Ditto, India. ‘Good night Gracie’ is dead on.

Lily, Do what I do. Hang garlic over your computer. Helps keep away evil people.

oh gag, don’t make me focus on that fake

Conservative pundits and voters have supported HRC and kept her Campaign going since February. HRC has validated John McCain as superior to Barack Obama. Perfect match — then, HRC’s supporters don’t have to write her in and/or ask her to run Independent (if they can raise the money and vendors are willing to extend her more credit). Perfect happy ending for the “Goldwater Girl.” Appalachia will jump on board immediately. New York will shrink with even more revulsion that we voted for HRC twice, despite the Iraq War vote we were against — and validated her in 2000 when she came here and couldn’t point to Wall Street standing on Broadway. Things might align perfectly after all. Then, everyone will be able to see clearly where each side stands and what they stand for — instead of constant triangulation. I like this, daisygrrl! Works for me!

Hillary Clinton and John McCain have been triangulating Barack Obama (double-teaming him) since February - and, even on his victory night, it continues. What else can TWO losers do? Do you EVER year John McCain speak to the dismal last 7 years? We would have to wonder what else could possibly happen = under Bush/Cheney? Yet, nothing do we hear during this awful, patronizing and mocking “speech.” MOCKERY didn’t work for Hillary Clinton, so I guess he has hired Mark Penn and Burston. Same tired strategy. Just try, for a moment, to think about what the young voters are thinking when they hear this “speech” during primetime — during, what is a Democratic Nomination based upon voters STILL VOTING and delegates being assigned? Pathetic. John McCain couldn’t get airtime and/or a little crowd together — any other way. That’s a FACT.

OK—I don’t know who the evil person/garlic/don’t make me gag is for….missed that. But John McCain making an IMPORTANT speech. I’m sorry. But how is that possible? Is Joe Leiberman going to whisper it in his ear—comme ca: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEtZlR3zp4c
