Wisconsin Primary

Also note her alpha-assertion of pride of place: She was there before Chris Matthews felt a thrill run up his leg, there before Bill Richardson cut his vacation short to come back and endorse, there before will.i.am and the gang sang that yes, they could. Obama Girl, pioneer!

Now if they could only get Obama Girl to vote for Obama...

I found Obama girl's plea very moving.

Yes, she stirred something in me too.

You could almost hear her saying "my eyes are up here".

Nice to see that there is some political discussion at this place.

It seems like the Obama/Hillary battle is becoming increasingly irrelevant as McCain takes the lead in the polls. I expected that, although this is even sooner than I would have thought. Both Gore and Kerry had leads in the polls this far out from the elections too, thanks mainly to the leftist mainstream media propping them up spewing hate for Bush. Then, as the election approached--ads, debates, etc., and people got the unfiltered messages to compare, they realized how horrendously far from the views and values of good normal Americans the Dems were. This time, the media hasn't been as rough on McCain as it was on Bush, and the leftist Dem candidates are even farther out on the lunatic fringe with their policies. Thus, McCain already has a lead.

Obama tried to snow people with his crap about transcending partisan politics and uniting. The trouble was, his policies were not uniting at all, but extreme left wing and anti-American. He was able to win enough primaries without getting into specifics that he undoubtedly will now win the nomination. That is partly because the media never called him on his vagueness. It is also partly Hillary's own fault because her own views and policies are virtually the same as Obama's.

The longer their battle continues and the longer they tear each other apart verbally, the better it is for McCain and the Republicans. And if Hillary DOES manage to "steal" the nomination from Obama, that's the best scenario of all for Republicans--and for America in general, as a lot of Obama voters would get disgusted and not even vote.

Considering the way the Obama and Clinton camps have been going after each other, it would be truly remarkable if McCain weren't ahead in the national polls. Especially considering the way the "left-wing" media as usual is giving McCain a free pass. Every detail of the Clinton/Obama campaign is under a microscope. McCain's apparent ignorance of the fact that it's not Al-Qaeda being aided by Iran was barely mentioned. Once the Dems choose a candidate however, the playing field will be more level.

Was she talking? I didn't notice.

Obama Girl's theme is part of the rest of the barage this week from Obama's media pals: it's time for Hillary to drop out now.
Why now? Huh? No primaries for a while. Ahhh, Barack sealed the deal on his nominaiton by nixing the revotes in Florida & Michigan last week.

The punishment that Florida & Michigan recieved from the DNC for moving up their primaries was NOT to take away the vote from 5 Million people this primary season. The punishment was simply to invalidate the early primaries. The DNC enthusiasticly encouraged Florida & Michigan to hold new caucuses, primaries, dance contests - whatever the states wanted to bring legitimacy to the process.

The disenfranchisement of 5 million voters came at the hands of saintly Barack Obama and his lawyer, Robert Bauer. It is a measue of Obama's media support that criticism of him has been so muted, and the details of what went down scattered across mentions in news reports and blogs.

Can you imagine the media reaction if The Monster had used procedure and political allies to block two elections!!!!! Hillary'd be pilloried.

Obama's nomination is not going to be legitimate in many peoples eyes.

The Republican's argument for canceling the recounts in Florida 2000 was weak, (made even weaker by Skinbasket's inept defense a month ago), but they at least had some rationale to argue.

It is an uphill climb for the Dems to reconcile before next fall.

[packinpatland]

That theory is about as bad as Hillary's 'mispokes'.

[SkinBasket]

nixing the revotes...punishment...invalidate primaries....disenfranchisement of 5 million voters...criticism muted...details scattered...not legitimate....canceling recounts.

Same ol' same ol. Toss out the rules, ignore laws, and break out the tinfoil hats in the name of the cause!!!


My minions will not be disenfranchised!

Man Claims to Speak 'Australian' After Allegedly Being Raped by Wombat
Thursday, March 27, 2008



SYDNEY — A New Zealand man has been sentenced to community service after telling police he was raped by a wombat and the experience had made him speak "Australian".

Arthur Ross Cradock, 48, from the South Island town of Motueka, called police on February 11 and told them he was being raped at his home by the wombat and he needed help, The Nelson Mail newspaper reported.

The orchard worker later called back and said: "Apart from speaking Australian now, I'm pretty all right, you know."

Cradock pleaded guilty in the local court to using a phone for a fictitious purpose. He was sentenced to 75 hours' community work.

Police prosecutor Sergeant Chris Stringer told the court alcohol played a large role in Cradock's life.

Secret sex life of wombats
December 12, 2005



A complicated dance, a bite on the rump and ferocious backward kicks are all part of the wombat's lovemaking repertoire, a new study has revealed. Until recently, there were no recorded observations of mating between wombats. But the director of Nocturnal Wildlife Research Ltd, biologist Clive Marks, found wombats were more likely than the average Aussie male to emulate moves from the Kama Sutra.

Mr Marks, whose findings are to be published this week in Nature Australia magazine, says the first successful captive breeding of wombats was recorded in Hannover, Germany, in 1982.

"With absolute precision, details of the wombat's sex life were recorded and, surprisingly, it seemed anything but modest," he says. "It appeared to be a physically demanding process, complete with chasing, biting, grunting and loads of heavy breathing."

Then in 1990, Mr Marks filmed the first common wombat courtship and mating in captivity in Australia, at Tonimbuk Farm in south-eastern Victoria. "The female, after a prolonged period of copulation in the same position, broke away and began to trot in a pattern of circles and figures of eight. The male chased her, following closely behind, and then bit her on the rump," he says. "She immediately stopped just long enough to permit him to roll her on her side and begin copulating again. If the male was slow to mount, she would kick back aggressively and not let him roll her on her side again until she had run round in more circles and figures of eight. This happened seven times."

Space seems to be the key. Mr Marks says without the "hard to get" figure eight dance, the female will not allow the male to mount. But zoo keepers are catching on. Mr Marks says biologist Catriona MacCallum at the Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo has had spectacular wombat breeding success. "Joining and modifying the pen systems to permit a chase, she not only found that wombat breeding was possible in captivity, but she found herself with the first recorded case of wombat twins."

Mr Marks says he hopes his study will solve the sloth-like image problem of the common wombat, making the furry marsupials "the symbol of Australian male sexual virility".

what theory? I didn't speculate, I'm telling you what happenned, based on news reports. I suspect you just don't want to hear it.

Toss out the rules, ignore laws, and break out the tinfoil hats in the name of the cause.

No rule or law was broken by any party. Nobody on any side proposed anything against the rules or laws.

You are spewing nonsense based on nonsense. But if you don't want to think or know too much about the issue, that's fine. The world needs its clowns, including the ass-clowns.

Therein lies the problem...."based on news reports".
