It’s the Whiner vs. the Iron Lady: “That hellish choice can be avoided if Obama can get close enough in Pennsylvania today to deny Clinton her major “electability” argument. But most of the polls say that Democrats just aren’t willing to accept Obama quite yet. And the race, such as it is, will go on.” (Right Wing Nut House)

Hopefully not—and these radicals will tear one another apart, leaving the “winner” to be finished off by McCain.

I think we’ll like to compare this liberal aggitation, confusion and cacophony with McCain’s incoming clear, foced and steadfast presidency.
Loved also that Michael Moore has joined Jane Fonda in supporting Glibama – the kiss of death.

To William:

Will this nightmare ever end?

When Obama and Hillary will run in Hell.

Apr 22, 2008 - 12:43 pm 8. M.E.:

Now it is possible to say that all “bel monde” with its Satyrs and Maenads, like Michael Moore & Jane Fonda, have gathered around the new Dionysus Obamus. They have even a priest, Rev. Wright, to celebrate their ecstatic orgies.

Look. This isn’t the Rumble in the Jungle. It’s not World War II. It’s not even Tom & Jerry. It’s more like Wrestlemania. A little bit of fireworks and a laser display. But it is really just make-believe. A show. A show that happens every few years. Lots of noise and lots of action. But fundamentally still just a show. Nobody gets hurt. Yes, I am talking about the US Presidential election. http://angryafrican.net/2008/04/22/storm-in-a-teacup/

Apr 22, 2008 - 6:44 pm 11. william:

You’re right Angry African. …the Dems have put on a make believe show, with two make believe people that have no executive experience and are so far left they can’t even begin to talk about their ideas and survive.
We’re just tired of the media that has hot flashes over these two poseurs.
For the real show….www.strongerthandeath.net.

This is a strong blow against the Muslim-Christian alliance that Obama promises to bring us. He is the one, the uniter, the balm to pour on all wounds. It is not too late to turn back to the true path, America.

Apr 23, 2008 - 10:59 am 14. william:

Ali Hussein Muhammed…. you worry about your path.
Our wounds are taken care of just fine, and it’s not by you or Obama!
