   Former congresswoman and vice-presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro is resigning her fundraising position with Sen. Hillary Clinton’s campaign after controversial comments she made about Clinton’s rival, Sen. Barack Obama.

   Too bad Geraldine and “she who must not be named” would make a wonderful dream ticket as the perfect VP for those aging angry liberal professional woman out there.

   The only joy I can really take out of this election cycle is watching the liberals tear themselves apart and they are doing a bang up job of it. We just might see the end of the two party system as we know it this election cycle. The stupid party continues to turn away conservatives while the party that lives up to its donkey mascot, engage in a race/sex war. Of course no matter who of the three wins as POTUS this year we all lose.

   Didn’t they say that she was NOT A PART OF THE CLINTON CAMPAIGN? If that was the case, then why is she “resigning?”

   I guess raising millions of dollars for one’s campaign doesn’t qualify as “working for the campaign,” merely “working on the ‘behalf’ of the campaign…” I guess it depends on what the meaning of “for” and “on the behalf of” means! Don’t you just love the Clinton’s and those who associate with them?

   She needs to be gone, gone, gone, she’s no longer anyone’s surrogate, she’s just an elderly woman, cancer survivor, whose rich and would like to pose women as victims.

   No thank you. Now FOX and CNN you need to dump her, she’s nobody’s surrogate.

    Another use of race to shut a opponent down.

    I can’t stand Hillary or Gerry, but I don’t see anything but political correctness gone mad causing her to step away from Hillary.

    McCain doesn’t stand a chance. He can’t even say Barrack Hussein Obama.

    If McCain talks about how dark it was in his POW cell, he is going to be accused of being a racist.

    Off track but very telling how this is going to play out; in the race campaign for the White House involves the recent coed murders.

    It doesn’t take a genius to see the msm ignoring the perps ethniticity in the violent slayings of the 2 beautiful young college ladies in the south. Or in any multitudes of violent crimes committed by the oppressed onto the silent majority jack-asses who continually take this double standard up the arsch!

    I couldn’t agree more! Just like the surrogate remarks reminding us all of Barack Hussein Obama’s youthful drug indescretions. Quickly condemned by Clinton, but every news report that mentioned it reminded people. Sort of a “there is no such thing as bad publicity” play, but here, it is “there is no such thing as bad negative attacks (particularly if done by some “overzealous” surrogate that the candidate can “sacrifice” to the altar of attack ads).

    No doubt Oreo cookies will be worked into someone’s speech “accidentally……”

    Gerry’s logic is way off. Yes, she was picked by ONE PERSON, Mondale because she’s a woman. But Obama, he was picked by MILLIONS for all kinds of reasons, maybe mostly because he’s a modern-day JFK/RJK who’s not burdened or helped by his race, unless you count the 90% support he’s getting from blacks. But even that’s hard to conclude as RJK would have also gotten a large majority of black votes, and he was white.

    I dislike Gerry and Hillary for similar reasons. Both live and breathe identity politics. And both get very prickly when challenged, sometimes going way over the top (”VRWC” for Hillary, and Gerry saying “some think just because your name ends in a vowel you’re in the mob” when her husband was attacked). Thankfully Obama seems to lack both of those ugly qualities.

    Blacks were not democrat voters. Martin Luther King was a registered republican.

    The only thing BHO has in common with JFK is his communication skills. JFK was very conservative and strong on defense. Please don’t compare Barrack Hussein Obama to Kennedy, unless it is TED!

    Though it’s fun to watch the O & H Show keep attacking each other, it’s kind of sad that what she was saying was underplayed by the MSM; Obama qualifications might be good enough for a office manager job but certainly not for the highest office of the land.

    I would agree with you somewhat, Rooster. But I think it’s more that some politicians are more comfortable with their audiences than are most other politicians.

    Of course, JFK had a good deal of substance with which to back up the talk.

    Depends on who you ask. If Louis Farrakhan or Leonard Jeffries heard your question, I suppose the answer would be “yes.”

    Or if Geraldine had a (R) after her name, most liberals would probably also agree.

    Must be nice to live in a fantasy world where you can make up vote counts for a long-dead politician. What Black Politician was RFK running against? Oh yea, NONE!

    Ferraro is right on, and you are clueless.

    “Mr. I Forgot My History”, the Mondale/Ferraro ticket garnered 37.6 Million votes in 1984. And let’s not forget all those non-existent votes she received to be elected the House of Reps 4 times I believe. Yea, no one ever picked her. Talk about lack of logic.

    How sad that so many can’t agree with someone just because they are on a different side. No wonder our country is headed to the trash bin of history.

    Obama is a liberal’s wet dream. He’s well spoken (when on cue cards, just like Bill, John, and Robert), he has little baggage (and that is being ignored by the media), the same media who is doing everything it can to destroy Hillary so Obama can win: not because he is qualified (he isn’t), because he fits their atonement sequence for their liberal guilt.

    Obama would have never made it this far if he was not Black, and only a fool thinks otherwise. If he were White, he would have been toast by no later than Iowa. Wake up, people.

    JFK, RFK, HRC, WJBC, are all incompetent power hungry machine politicians. JFK almost started WWIII, RFK helped, WJBC let Osama go, several times, and HRC wants us to be like Russia. Obama is just a Black version of all of them who is riding the current wave in politics.

    While we are at it, if you get into a school because of Affirmative Action (we all know that Blacks can’t succeed without it) then is that truly an achievement? What about all the perks you recieved for going to Harvard/Yale etc…? Sorta like a book deal after you become the first Black Presidential candidate that’s “clean”. Is it really a best seller, if most are “bought by” lobbyists?

    Mark #36 you are so right. Lots of BHO supporters here lately. Even MM seems to be unable to give GF any credit.

    GF is standing up against racism - she’s simply pointing out that many people are supporting BHO simply because he is black and that is a racial decision.

    MM has not made any credible remarks that go to the heart of what GF said. All accounts here are just hateful rhetoric because GF is a liberal.

    And all this praise for JFK… pleazzz!

    Obama is black? LOL I think he’s far more white than most people realize. Of course support for Obama is a “racial decision” because, honestly, the terms “black” and “leader” aren’t use often politically.

    Anyhow, does race even matter? Not to me. I’m far more concerned by competence and leadership ability than by a person’s skin color.

    People might argue that gender doesn’t matter either, but just imagine the power a Pres. Hillary might wield should she choose to “break out the tears” during critical negotiations with Iran’s current ding-dong President! Surely the threat of impending waterworks will cause the hard-line Mullahs there to back down from their dream of bombing Israel with a nuclear weapon, right? ‘Cause we all know how much radical Islam respects women, right? Naw, I’m sure gender won’t matter at all…

    BTW-Can we stir up some more radical unrest by emailing un-burka’d photos of Hillary to mosques around the globe? Can you imagine the hordes of lust-filled ragin’ and rapin’ Muslim men which might result? No? Neither can I.

    I’d love to hear McCain joke during a microphone check how his “good friend Hillary might be the best excuse possible for passing a burka sharia law here in the US”!

    That might just be enough to convince me to forget his past and hold my nose while pulling the lever!

    Oh, who were we supposed to be talking about again? Obama? See, I’d forgotten about him already… so white he’s nearly transparent!

    Imagine the fun we could have if we started referring to Sen. McCain as “that White Republican leader, John McCain”.

    I think the main reason for the Obama camp’s refusal to engage in a racially-charged battle is that some might quickly come to realize just how little Sen. Obama has done for anyone. I mean, it would be hard to run as a “strong black leader” while promoting a “white, socialist party platform”, wouldn’t it?

    It’s a bit like a “strong liberally-minded conservative leader” running as a “staunch conservative Republican”… All depends on your definition of “is”, right?
