South Carolina Republicans: “No Surprise to See Democrats Settle for Senator Obama”

The following press release was sent to reporters covering the South Carolina primary from SC GOP Chairman Katon Dawson:
Dawson: No surprise to see Democrats settle for Senator Obama

SCGOP Chairman confident Republican will carry South Carolina in November

COLUMBIA, S.C – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson tonight released the following statement on the results of the South Carolina Democrat Presidential Primary:

“It was no surprise to see Democrat primary voters in South Carolina today settle for Illinois Senator Barack Obama.  Although Senator Obama is one of history’s most inexperienced presidential candidates, his opponent Senator Hillary Clinton abandoned her liberal candidacy here because our voters have never backed a Clinton – and John Edwards was too out of touch and too negative to defend his 2004 win on his own home turf.

“Tonight, I am more confident than ever our Party’s nominee for president will be overwhelmingly supported in South Carolina no matter who wins over the liberal Democrat primary base.”

I hate Clinton so much that I actually am starting to fall in love with Obama!!!

 
Comment by Jack

For once, I agree with Republicans. Obama is inexperienced, Edwards is out of touch, and Clinton didn’t even bother with South Carolina’s racist voters. Thankfully, there are more intelligent states out there who will vote on much more than skin color. Here’s to Super Tuesday when the experienced, in touch candidate will blow her competition away.

 
Comment by T. Kennedy

Which is worse - not to vote for a candidate because he is African American or to vote for a candidate just because he is African American???? Know the issues!

 
Comment by A.Green

For a country that prides itself on democracy, free thinking and being progressive, I would hope that in the 21st century issues such as race would be a NON-ISSUE for a candidate–don’t vote/not vote based on race/gender–it should be based on the real issues–healthcare, immigration, the war in IRAQ, the economy, taxes, etc..

 
Comment by Winston Smith

Bush was inexperienced too, and he achived everything he wanted: consolidation of wealth, endless war, new permanent middle eastern military bases, a terrorist attack to unify the country, record oil profits, termination of habeus corpus, warrantless domestic spying, torture, the subjugation of the middle class, hack conservative judges, politicized military and judical system, the end of anti-trade laws, intimidated congress, politicized religious polarization, and much more.

President wanted. No experience necessary.

 
Comment by T. Kennedy

I agree with you but…….”And with race emerging as a key factor in the South Carolina contest, FOX News exit polls showed black voters went for Obama over Clinton by a huge margin of 81 to 17 percent, and 82 percent of black women supported the Illinois senator. Polls showed he had similar support among black voters in last week’s Nevada caucuses, which he lost, but those voters made up about 50 percent of the electorate in South Carolina.”

 
Comment by Jack

Winston, I think you just gave the best reason to pan Obama. We’ve had inexperienced, charismatic, better-than-the-other-guy president for 8 years. He failed. Now the harpies want to force us into 4 more years of this. I’ll pass.

 
Comment by Winston Smith

Jack, you miss the point. Bush is an incredible success.

It’s no big surprise that Obama won South Carolina, 70% of that state is black Americans…duh It does not take away from the fact that Obama is a lair and he won’t keep 2% of the promises he made. He’s like a fish, flip flop, flip flop…

 
Comment by Seattle, Wa

As a democate, I agree—-switching sides seems better and better everyday.
I LOVE MCCAIN..

 
Comment by Greg Hanserd

Everyone that is running for President is inexperienced because none of them have ever been president. Yes, they may have experience as Senators and legislators. But noone has experience for President. That is a whole new level of dealing with not only this country but the world in general. In my opinion, noone has the experience to be President without having been in the oval office before. The experience needed to be President is not the issue, because once you become president you put people in your cabinet with experience and knowledge of what needs to be done. For everyone to say that Hillary has the most experience is appaulling, the one thing that she tried to do when Bill was in office was her national health care plan and that failed miserably. So where is this experience coming from. I don’t want the politics of old anymore, I want someone young, vibrant and someone that has people of all races looking at this country with a new prospective. If Clinton makes it in, there will be more of nothing coming out of congress. Besides if she does make it, how will these Muslim countries deal with her since they do not view women as equal in the first place. This ought to be a real struggle for america in the next 4 years.

 
Comment by Ben

First time I’ve ever switched over to Fox news… I’m a moderate democrat and the coverage of Obama is so lopsided I’m about to throw up. When he plays politics, everyone throws roses at him as a brilliant agent of change.. When Clinton plays hardball, she’s called ‘calculated”, “cold”, “political”. Are people really so naive? It’s called “politics” for a reason!! At least she’s a good politician. Obama is all talk… He’ll be the next Jimmy Carter. Spend your whole campaign trashing Washington and then think they’ll actually work with you on anything? Give me a break… it really is a fairy tale! Plus, if he’s so good, why didn’t he win Nevada, New Hampshire, or Michigan? He wins a state that is over 50% black and all the sudden he’s started a revolution. Is this seriously news?? I’m sick of hearing about race and that seems to be what his preacher like speeches keep going back to.

I agree with some of the others… if this guy is the candidate, I’ll go with McCain. Agree or disagree with him, at least he’s qualified and intelligent.

 
Comment by Mike

South Carolina is the most racist state I have lived in during my 10+ years of military service. Reverse racism–black on white–is rampant. I’ve had two occasions where blacks have threatened me or my family in the 18 months we have been here.

South Carolina, you had better start voting on more than color. As an outsider looking in, we’ve abandoned any and all thoughts about buying a home here for after retirement.

 
Comment by T. Kennedy

I agree with Ben.

 
Comment by why

Why are we quick to point out that blacks voted for Obama more than Hillary but don’t have the ability to point out that more whites vote for Hillary. Why is it ok for a white politician to pimp the black vote every election season but if I black candidate just happens to be black and sends a message that doesn’t alienate any race, creed, religion or party we get offended. Some people are just voting for what they want. Maybe its for a black president, maybe its for a woman, maybe its for a black woman that can fill the void they are missing. The direction they want in this country.

You don’t have to like obama but he has done nothing but run a campaign based of his vision for America and like other candidates current and in the past some buy in to it and some don’t. And on election day they will have their chance for their voice to be heard. What are some of us so scared of? Is if he is elected he might do some of the changes he envisions.

I am not sold on being a first lady qualifying you as the experience candidate. Now if it was Condoleeza Rice or Janet Reno maybe that experience argument can hold some water. The experience in my opinion is prevalent more in the Republican Candidates now that Biden, Dodd, and Richardson are out. So for democrats its going to boil down to who believes in Hillary or Barack. Don’t be so afraid of something thats different and be blinded by your own thoughts. Think outside the box. Listen to their issues. Make a decision and vote. Be educated and don’t let the media selling machine shape your thoughts. Read transcripts of questions, speeches and be American.

 
Comment by puneblogger

So Jack, when white old ladies of NH vote for Clinton, it is NOT racist, but it is racist when poor black South Carolinians decide to vote for Obama! Strange, strange. What a slime machine the Clintons have invented. I think they have all the white folks completely brainwashed. I hope Obama can survive this (UNFAIR) ghettoization of his candidacy that the Clintons have managed to pull. Wake up America. We do not need the Clintons back in the WH.

 
Comment by Jack

It’s racist BECAUSE they vote for Obama because he’s black. That is racism. If a white woman votes for Clinton because she’s white, that’s racism.

The problem is Obama’s overwhelming support from blacks was for one simple reason — his skin color. South Carolinian blacks admitted as such.

Why, so you’re not educated if you are white and vote for whites? Nice.

 
Comment by Dan

“John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most “electable” Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole did not lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.” –Ann Coulter

“If nominated, John McCain will destroy the Republican Party.”- Rush Limbaugh

“Florida will be the beginning of the end of Juan McLame’s career of fighting for amnesty, teaming up with liberals against tax cuts, giving your social security away to illegals and being the single biggest backstabber to the conservative movement.”- Me

Let us count McCain’s “conservative credentials”:

-he wrote the bill granting amnesty to illegal immigrants (co-sponsored by Ted Kennedy)
-he voted to give your social security money to illegal immigrants
-he voted against the Bush tax cuts multiple times (he has since flip-flopped and has campaigned as a lifelong tax-cutter)
-he routinely engages in Democratic class warfare against big companies in America
-as recently as December 2007 he admitted “he does not know the economy very well” and needed to get better at it
-he wrote the McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that was declared to be an unconstitutional infringement of the 1st Amendment (co-sponsored by ultra-liberal Democrat Russ Feingold)
-he was called the “worst 2nd amendment candidate” by the president of the NRA
-wrote a bill (co-sponsored by his buddy Lieberman) imposing a massive tax on energy which, according to the Heritage Foundation, would drastically raise the price of gasoline and put many US companies out of business
-supports radical global warming legislation which involved him voting with every Democrat
-he joined forces with Democrats (“Gang of 14”) to block the Senate Republican’s attempt to confirm conservative, strict constructionist judges
-he joined liberals to fight against a federal marriage amendment supporting the institution of traditional marriage
-campaigning in 2000, he famously described Christian leaders as “agents of intolerance”
-he filed an amicus brief against pro-life advocates in Wisconsin
-he met with leading Democrats in 2004 to discuss the possibility of being John Kerry’s Vice-President
-with most of these positions, unfortunately, McCain hasn’t flip-flopped and vows to fight for these liberal causes as president
-if I wanted to elect a Democrat, I would vote for Hillary or Obama

Let us now look at some of his endorsements:

-New York Times
-Geraldo Rivera
-Joe Lieberman
-Bill and Hillary Clinton
-nearly every member of the liberal media (most Newspapers have endorsed him for this very reason, phrasing his strength as an ability to “attract the support of liberals”)

If you are a Republican, do not let the most liberal elements of the media tell you who to vote for and who is “electable”. Electability polls fluctuate wildly every week (+16 this very week in favor of Romney). A recent example: Bob Dole was considered far and away the “most electable” Republican because he was respected by Democrats and because of his military service.

Voters in Florida and around the country, if you are a conservative, consider whether McCain’s career record of liberal positions and ineptitude is actually the best you can hope for. Consider if he is the most electable candidate even if many prominent conservatives have vowed to “sit out” this election if he’s the nominee.

Spread the word to other conservatives before the liberals on TV and in the newspapers steal this election away from the conservative movement (lower taxes, stronger families, stronger military, no amnesty).

 
Comment by What--Who?

puneblogger…You are so far off! The slime machine is Obama. He shut down his website at http://www.islamichope.com because he was pictured as a member who claims they want to unite all colors and religions but yet there was not one white or latino person posted on the entire site. And, lets not forget his affiliation with Rezko, the slum lord, and Obama defended him against Americans living in filthy conditions like they were stray dogs or something. Then Obama claims he gave Rezko back the $200,000 in donations to his campaign. Yeah, sure….. And, the church he attends in Chicago is all black, no whites, no latino’s and no hispanics. Hmmm… And you say the Clintons are racists? Wake up fool and put your foot back in your mouth!!

Comment by INDem

Whites shouldn’t talk about racism. You haven’t lived it. You don’t know it. This country has had a white, masculine majority ever since its conception and it’s a joke for white people to play the victim game whenever someone (be they black or female) encroaches on their dominance.

SC black voters have a right to vote for the candidate they choose. Voting overwhelmingly for the black candidate is not a sign of racism. Get over your conventional wisdom of white male = good leader. We need the wisest and the sagest leading our county, not the whitest and the richest.

 
Comment by puneblogger

Thanks Jack. Glad to know that you see race for what it is.

Whites should vote for a white (woman) simply because (s)he is white and blacks should not vote for any candidate simply becuase he/she is black. The poor black of SC came out with a vengance this time because of the slime machine that the Clintons have unleashed. Now, it is up to Obama to show us that he can rise above race and unite this country. I hope he does. Shame on the Clintons and all those whites are still supporting them. I ask al of them to search deep inside and tell me if they (the whites who are supporting Clinton) are NOT falling prey to racism. I find it hard to believe the Clintons have steeped so low that we must even discuss this.

someone named Barak or O’bama elected Pres?

please!

Comment by puneblogger

I meant whie should NOT vote ….

 
Comment by Jack

INDem, how racist of you to assume that whites cannot understand racism. Yet, you’re clearly racist when you discriminate against anyone of color because of your opinions.

Anyone can understand racism as bad, no matter who it targets. Including blacks being bigoted against whites. Such a thing is disgusting and you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself for propagating a horrible action.

Voting for a black man just because he is black is, indeed, racism — illogical discrimination against or for someone based upon a pigmentation of the skin. Just because it is favorable doesn’t mean it isn’t racism.

 
Comment by Jack

pune, I would ask you to not be ignorant…but you’ve already failed.

You should support your candidate because of the issues, regardless of race, age, or sex. That is what our country is about, that is what it was founded upon.

Many blacks in South Carolina SAID they were voting for Obama because he was black. That is racism, just like if a white woman votes for Clinton because she’s white. It is wrong to vote for ANYONE based on race, religion, or creed.

So please, remove your head from your rear and wake up. It’s people like you who destroy America and make our political discussion a lot less intelligent.

Comment by puneblogger

What-Who? Learn to civil or else you might find your foot where you don’t want it. Obamas has been made into a black candidate now. He loses even if he wins the black vote because whites will not vote for him. You seem like a Clinton propagandist. Don’t buy everything the Clintons tell you. If I had a choice, I would not vote for either Clinton or Obama. Unfortunaely, right now, the Dems are faced with having to make a choice between Obama and Clinton and I am convinced cannot afford to let the Clintons back into the WH. Start using your own judgement What-Who instead of buying into the Clinton propaganda.

 
Comment by INDem

Jack,

Yes, maybe you can look up racism in the dictionary and understand the definition, but you have no place to talk about being a victim of racism or saying that blacks are committing racism for voting for the black candidate. I’m sure when Obama is elected president that you’ll be saying that the majority of the country is racist because they elected a black president. Get over it, you’re not a victim.

 
Comment by Ann Jones

The young people are being fooled by Obama, he is a yes man for the establishment who is full of rhetoric and hot air, unfortunately. If elected, both Obama and Hillary Clinton will cater to the interest of the multinational corporations, at the expense of the American people because of the corporate campaign contributions they have received! The only reason Obama won in South Carolina is because Oprah campaigned extensively for him in South Carolina and over 50% of the South Carolina voters are black! The American people should vote for candidates such as Ron Paul or Mike Huckabee if they are serious about saving themselves, their families, and this country.

 
Comment by puneblogger

Jack, you are the one being ignorant. Do read my post carefully. Whites have been supporting whites for a long time now and somehow you dn’t find that racist but when blacks support a deserving black somehow it is being twisted around and labeled as being racist! I want to vote based on the issues. I am convinced I don’t want the Clinton within 10 yards radius of the WH (can’t help HRC is Senator).

 
Comment by Jack

Blacks who vote for a black candidate JUST because they are black is racist, period.

pune, I made it clear I was talking to you. Is it that difficult to understand or do I need to draw you a diagram? You are pune, my message was to pune, therefore my message was to you. Of course I’m a Clinton “propagandist”. After all, I don’t hate her and spew vile, disgusting crap about her based upon my prejudices. That clearly means I’m working for her.

That or I’m tired of trash constantly tearing down a woman who wants to help our country simply because of their illogical hatred of her. It’s possible that I’m tired of people like you spreading ignorance and stupidity across our country and dumbing down politics from a great discourse into “WHO DO I LIKE MOST!”

So do me a favor, go away. Stay there.

 
Comment by puneblogger

Jack, learn to show some civility in your discourses before you preach about being high and mighty!

 
Comment by Jack

pune, again you are ignorant because you accuse whites of supporting whites when, surprise, whites have been the only candidates! You know what’s amazing? Blacks supported whites too. The difference is they did it not BECAUSE they were white, but because they had ideas that appealed to them.

South Carolinian blacks voted for Obama because he was black, not because he had the best plan for America. That’s racist and wrong, you’re just too stupid to decry it.

Again I say, go away and stay there.

 
Comment by Jack

pune, those who deserve civility and respect get civility and respect. Those that do not deserve it do not get it.

Guess where you stand.

 
Comment by puneblogger

Jack, Jack, what happened to you? Now you are screaming just like Bill does! Is that all you can do? Call names and spew obscenities because HRC does not get my vote? And I thought I can carry on an intelligent discussion. I don’t intend to honor you anymore with any reply. Get lost.

 
Comment by Jack

pune, you think too highly of yourself. Yelling? Hardly. You would need to be intelligent to be able to carry an intelligent conversation, and you seem to have lost your bucket as well.

I don’t care who you vote for, I care why. When you start to realize that then maybe you can actually begin to discuss, I just can’t promise that you’ll be intelligent.

 
Comment by Jill

Has no one considered that maybe voters (black voters as well) are intelligent enough to vote on issues and they voted for Obama becuase he IS the best candidate? It is a disgrace that we suggest black peoples’ votes must be based on race.

And, as for Obama’s ‘loses’ in Nevada, NH and Michigan, as pointed out by ‘Ben’:

- Nevada - Not a win for Hillary, as we don’t use popular vote . Hillary only gains 6% more of the popular vote, yet this is her biggest percentage lead over Obama. Still, he gets more delegates, which is the POINT. So, this was a small percentage win, a loss by Hillary in what counts, delegates…hardly a clear win.

-NH- Hillary only wins by 3% and, this not being significant, it is treated as a tie in terms of delegates.

-Michigan- Ben needs to watch the news or read the paper: Michigan was stripped of its delegates–there was no democratic primary to win…Obama was not even an option to vote for. Hillary was the only choice in non-existant primary….

-Iowa (no black voters, by the way)- Obama wins by 10%…more than Hillary has ever gained over Obama.

-SC- Obama wins by 29%….and gets more votes, in number then the leading republican in a republican state.

See Caroline Kennedy’s endorsment of Obama, “A President Like my Father.”

Comment by Tina

Jack,
So black people only support Obama because he is black and black people support white people because they like their ideas. Is is possible that black people like the ideas of a man who happens to be black? Why do you assume all black people supported him only because of his skin color? I guess none of us have minds of our own. We can’t decide that someone, in our opinions, is the best man for the job. Please don’t make assumptions about a whole race of people. And don’t say …”they admitted it”. No one talked to all of the black people in South Carolina about who they support and why. So, if a few idiots say they are voting for him only because he is black, they do not speak for all black people.

 
Comment by No more clinton lies

In reply to What-Who:

As the Democratic primary process heats up, we’re seeing a lot of politics-as-usual campaign tactics in the media and online.

Barack Obama stands for a new kind of politics — without partisan bickering and smear tactics.

Take a minute to read a little bit about Barack and learn why he is the only candidate who represents change we can believe in:

http://my.barackobama.com/churchfacts

Barack was born in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. Barack’s father, Barack Obama Sr., was born and raised in a small village in Kenya. His mother, Ann Dunham, grew up in small-town Kansas.

After graduating from Columbia University in New York, he became a community organizer working with churches on the South Side of Chicago. After studying at Trinity United Church of Christ, he was baptized and remains a committed and active Christian.

Trinity United Church of Christ is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ. It is part of a liberal denomination that was the first to ordain an African American, a woman, and a gay man. Congregants have described it in the New York Times as a “warm and accepting community,” and while it is in a predominantly African American congregation, people of all backgrounds attend and are enthusiastically welcomed.

Barack was sworn in as a U.S. Senator on his own personal Bible and continues to attend Trinity United regularly with his family.

I know there’s been a lot of Washington smears going around, so I just wanted to send this message and share an honest portrait of Barack Obama.

Below is some more information about Barack’s faith and his church. You can get the facts about Barack and his background by visiting the Obama for America website:

http://my.barackobama.com/churchfacts

Here’s what others have to say:

LOS ANGELES TIMES: The Rumors About Obama Are “False And Vile.” The Los Angeles Times wrote in an editorial, “That the rumors are false and vile is self-evident…Presidential candidates of both parties have a duty to denounce not only the smear against Obama but the bigotry that underlies it.”

NEWSWEEK: “Dueling chain e-mails claim he’s a radical Muslim or a ‘racist’ Christian. Both can’t be right. We find both are false. If these two nasty e-mail messages are any indication, the 2008 presidential campaign is becoming a very dirty one. One claims that Obama is ‘certainly a racist’ by virtue of belonging to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, which it says ‘will accept only black parishioners’ and espouses a commitment to Africa. Actually, a white theology professor says he’s been ‘welcomed enthusiastically’ at the church, as have other non-blacks. Another e-mail claims that Obama ‘is a Muslim,’ attended a ‘Wahabi’ school in Indonesia, took his Senate oath on the Koran, refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and is part of an Islamic plot to take over the U.S. Each of these statements is false. These false appeals to bigotry and fear remind us of the infamous whispering campaign of eight years ago, when anonymous messages just before the South Carolina primary falsely accused Republican candidate John McCain of fathering an illegitimate child by a black woman.”

THE UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST: “‘Trinity UCC is rooted in and proud of its Afrocentric heritage,’ [Rev. John H. Thomas, the UCC's general minister and president] said. ‘This is no different than the hundreds of UCC churches from the German Evangelical and Reformed stream that continue to own and celebrate their German heritage, insisting on annual sausage and sauerkraut dinners and singing Stille Nacht on Christmas Eve. Recognizing and celebrating our distinctive racial-ethnic heritages, cultures, languages and customs are what make us unique as a united and uniting denomination.’ While Trinity UCC is predominately African American, it does include and welcome non-Black members. The Rev. Jane Fisler-Hoffman, Illinois Conference Minister, who is white, has been a member of the congregation for years.”

PROMINENT JEWISH LEADERS: “As leaders of the Jewish community, none of whose organizations will endorse or oppose any candidate for President, we feel compelled to speak out against certain rhetoric and tactics in the current campaign that we find particularly abhorrent. Of particular concern, over the past several weeks, many in our community have received hateful emails that use falsehood and innuendo to mischaracterize Senator Barack Obama’s religious beliefs and who he is as a person. These tactics attempt to drive a wedge between our community and a presidential candidate based on despicable and false attacks and innuendo based on religion. We reject these efforts to manipulate members of our community into supporting or opposing candidates.”

JEWISH U.S. SENATORS: “Over the past several weeks, many in the Jewish community have received hateful emails that use falsehood and innuendo about Senator Barack Obama’s religion and attack him personally. As Jewish United States Senators who have not endorsed a candidate for the Democratic nomination, we condemn these scurrilous attacks. We find it particularly abhorrent that these attacks are apparently being sent specifically to the Jewish Community. Jews, who have historically been the target of such attacks, should be the first to reject these tactics. We won’t dignify these falsehoods by repeating them in order to refute them. Instead, we will express our outrage at these tactics, which are being used to demonize a good and decent man and our friend and colleague. Attempting to manipulate voters into supporting or opposing one candidate or another based on despicable and fictitious attacks is disgraceful. These false and malicious attacks should not be part of our political discourse.”

I am a republican by ideology and I have not seen much of these ideologies benefitting the nation now. It is getting worse by the day and I think it is time for a change. Mccain is very inteligent and brave. I am sure he might win the November election if he contest with HRC but he will fail against Barack.
I will bet this with anyone. There are over 360Million in the US and power sharing cannot continue betwen the Bushes and the Clintons. These families have held on to power for over 20 years.
MacCain wil have to pray hard for Hilarry to win the Democratic nomination for him to think of becoming the next American president. This article is a crafty diversion to trim the competition to just race. Both white and black Americans are under the same circumstances.

 
Comment by No more clinton lies

Although I expect ‘Southern girl’ to reply with some ethnocentric retort, Obama is inspirational and praised all over the world, a world that loved JFK. Having a president, like Obama, that is loved around the world would be excellent for the US.

“Again, more evidence why Obama is the best candidate - look how the World is responding! An Obama presidency would evoke suck a response in many countries. A Clinton presidency wouldn’t even evoke such a response in the USA. He inspires, she divides.

Comment by T. Kennedy

I would like to pose the question - Which is worse - not to vote for a candidate because his or her race or gender -or - to vote for a candidate just because his or her race or gender? The statistics show that the SC was all about race.

”And with race emerging as a key factor in the South Carolina contest, FOX News exit polls showed black voters went for Obama over Clinton by a huge margin of 81 to 17 percent, and 82 percent of black women supported the Illinois senator.”

It is a shame that if someone says something negative about Obama or about the race issue they are a racists.

 
Comment by T. Kennedy

The powers that be control everything anyway. If they own all the horses in the race do they really care who wins. They may even look at it as stirring up the general public to keep the eyes off the war, middle east & any other cover ups before bush leaves office.

Comment by red

Anybody that raises their arms to the sky and does the “jesus” thingy needs to have THAT

behavior questioned. But no…. they instead make comments about a former President (who kept

peace and balanced our budget) Hillary will also do a great job as President because she states

the FACTS even when some folks don’t like the facts and she is COMMITTED to the Constitution.

Obviously Mr. B. O. doesn’t present himself as a person commited to his faith since he has to fire

accusations or excuses and do his dramatic “jesus” presentation to gain popularity among those

less knowledgeable.

So, because of Obama’s poor behavior, anyone with good old common sense will realize that Mr.

B.O. would not be able to commit to being a good President.

Having a candidate like Hillary Clinton , who is not riding towards the Presidency on a cloak of

superstitious religious beliefs, is refreshing. I would vote for any candidate that had guts to

state, “SEPARATION of church and State is what I believe!!!!!”

Charmers like Barack and Bush seem to leave a stench in their path…. you know… a B. O.

And, that is exactly who we need protection from. haha.

It is about time that America complete its promise of democracy for all and equal access to leadership. Barack is a representative of the American dream come true. This primary is not about color or about religion. It is about issues and the ability to think through tough situations. I strongly support the skill that Barack Obama has demonstrated in regard to all of the issues and think it is about time that we get past prejudice and stupidity and get honest with ourselves. Change is required, it is not an option. Mr. Obama is a dedicated American with a calling for unity. He is a new age politician and shows much intelligence on all of the issues. He will make a wonderful choice for democratic front runner, if given the opportunity by all of the people of this nation. Good Luck, Barack.!
