The Brand New Respectful Presidential Campaign Thread

Ya know, I'm not a Hillary supporter.  But something really stinks with our liberal, biased Media!  Sickening!

Hillary supporters..it's time to fight back

Some more of the Hillary supporter and a little of Father Pfleger

All of Father Pfleger

And Otis Moss,the new pastor of Trinity says, Thank God for the message and thank God for the messenger? 

"Father" Pfleger has been a friend of Obama's for years.  How can anyone think that Obama doesn't think like Pleger and Wright?

And our government is giving money to this church for their daycare and other outreach programs?  About $15 million in 15 years?  This church should not have their tax free status.  If this was a "white" church....Falwell, I believe, had to pay a fine for saying something in the pulpit that was "political."  I believe he almost had his status taken away. 

This sickens me.

Ten minutes ago (according to the AP):

"Hillary Rodham Clinton told colleagues Tuesday she would consider joining Barack Obama as his running mate, and advisers said she was withholding a formal departure from the race partly to use her remaining leverage to press for a spot on the ticket.

On a conference call with other New York lawmakers, Clinton, a New York senator, said she was willing to become Obama's vice presidential nominee if it would help Democrats win the White House, according to a participant who spoke on condition of anonymity because this person was not authorized to speak for Clinton."

Hmmmmmmm........someone is in trouble..........Felicia you are right........not all in the news media are stupid......just the ones that are reporting that Hillary has lost before the primaries are even done today so that perhaps thousands of people will not even bother to go vote in their primaries..........how do they know what she is going to do tonight?.........stupid news media that is telling American that Hillary is going to recede tonight when that is probably not true.....Shokk

Nickster not sure exactly what you are talking about........you talking about Father Phleger? or the news media making Hillary lose? Former President Clinton have a melt down?.......I'm still waving at you............another very good liberal friend......ha...........Shokk

OK - I must admit it.  This liberal hiding in the closet should have read all the thread first before I commented.  But gosh darn I have been looking for Shokk all day.

I was disappointed to read that Hilary will concede tonight. 

I dont know what ballistic things Bill Clinton did.

If Hillary is vice president - well I might write in Edwards.

Oh and living in the Chicago area, I was so happy to read that Pfleger was removed.  Its been along time coming.

Felicia:  Im laughing my arse off at your comment about the news reporteers.

Blue,

No, I didn't catch his name.  I never saw him before either.  An older, good looking guy.  They said he was a democratic strategist.

I was watching Fox news today and they were celebrating Obama's victory today, hmmm a little too early, and they had this hateful woman on.  I didn't catch her name either.  I've seen her before and she's no fan of Hillary.  Such comments about Hillary coming from her were so unnecessary.  Just because a woman says it, I'm sorry out of bounds is out of bounds. 

Don't worry Hillary isn't going any where.  They still need her to carry all the blame for Obama's loss this November.

Hey Felicia:  FYI....I was NOT referring to you...LOL

Blue,

Don't you know that republicans never say anything outrageous. It's just left leaning liberals who make gaffes. I'm so happy the Republicans in WVA shot him down. I, too, hate Big Dick with a passion. There must be someone on the boards from West Virginia who is disgusted about this.

Correction to my last post.........*concede* instead of recede.........guess I was thinking about my hairline............Shokk

Well here was my little letter to Hillary.

-------------------------------

I want you for President
I will not vote for Obama even if you are VP.  I will vote for McCain if you are not the nominee and hope to vote for you in 2012 not 2016.

Yes, Hillary can run as in independent but that is so unlikely.  

I really loved her speech tonight.  I could feel my eyes getting watery.  Of course, she gave the talking heads a seizure.  I thought they were going to explode over her not conceding or at least saying she was putting her campaign on hold.  She just had that old fighting spirit going for her.  

I hope she's not staying in just to be his Veep.  I hope this is really to fight all the way for the nomination.  We'll know in a few days.

The true problem with the media (print, TV and radio) is that it is about 90% White, over 60 and male - obviously not representative of the rest of the nation. Isn't hard to see how both Hillary and Obama looked like they were in a 15-round bout every debate as the likes of Tim Russert, Wolf B. and company beating them to death with their loaded questions. Ethnic or gender diversity has never been the media's strong suit and it is much worse today than it was even 10 years ago (quick, when was the last time you saw a SOLO anchor of color in your local news market?). At least in 04, one of the debates was moderated by a Black female. No such luck in any of the gazillion debates the dems had during the primary...



And all media isn't biased. I'm not - or at least my biases don't show in the stories I cover or how I report them...

Hi All:  Will Hillary not conceding really help her case at this point?  I mean, Obama has all the delegates he needs and Hillary didn't win as strongly as she had hoped in terms of the popular vote in the last three primaries.  I am trying to figure out what her game plan is at this point. The only cinclusion I can come to is that she is posturing for the VP slot.  I don't see Obama offering that to her.   CNN (Online) has an article this morning about possible VP choices for Obama.  Quite a few interesting (potential) candidates. THe next few days should be pretty interesting.

That said, I watched both speeches last night and I found both to be very powerful. 

Felicia,

In Houston, our local news is a rainbow of ethnicities for a very long time.  We are well above the curve. 

I think the bias we are mostly seeing in on the cable news outlets.  Some have been downright disgusting.  They think they're being funny.  The questions they ask of the panel are showing their bias.  Anyway, they'll be kicking Hillary around for a few more days, and it will eventually end ..... in November.

Rosemary, I'm in the NYC area and we also have a bevy of ethicities and genders on the news. But the only people of color or women who anchor always, always, always co-anchor with a white guy or blonde female (no joke). Lots of Asian, Black, few Hispanic and Indian (as in the continent) reporters on the local tv news, but not one brown or female anchor who does the news solo - and I can probably safely assume that there are only a handful of producers and management that are people of color, female, or both. And it is plenty worse on cable news (lthough CNN is a bit better than Fox)...
