Amazing. This is spammed all over the internet, and uses some of the same language previously seen in a similar posting for Joe Lieberman. All the folks say "it was sent to me to be shared."

My thoughts? Well, it's pretty poorly written, short on facts, and long on rhetoric. Nothing fresh or new, it's just parroting the mindless chants of Rush Limbaugh. The writer tries to push emotional buttons and, in my opinion, fails. However, it might score points with bigots of the anti-'towel-head' persuasion.

Well, now it's been spammed onto the CM message boards, which was very probably the OP's intent. Clumsily done, though.

Domiguy's comments were very good, but this is about as precise as we're gonna see.

Invective and incitement to hatred are just two more shovels digging deeper that hole Americans appear to be finding themselves in.

There are some real problems with this piece of work.

The most glaring problem is that it becomes very obvious very early on that this is someone with a very conservative slant on life, someone with some education but certainly not schooled in writting something that is truely neutral.
They make a lame attempt at trying to seem neutral, and they end in such an ugly race baited hawkish tone that even the least educated person I know would have their BullS^*&^ detector going off at level 11.

I can come up with plenty of things to throw at both Obama and Clinton without stooping to this level of tripe.
I can come up with plenaty to shift over and give reason to vote for McCane that are reasoned and fair without pounding the war drums hard enough to break them.

I'm not even that tallented a writter and yet I don't believe I'd have much trouble writting a mcuh better version of this that would slide under some folks radar and at least keep the BS detector under a 5.

And this evaluation is from one of the more conservative and hawkish people on this board.

It's a set up. I mean come on~ A woman who everyone loves to hate. Often for the "sins" (of a sexual nature no less) of her husband, a black man of dubious religious practices/beliefs, or the war hero white guy custom fit to perpetuate the current political agenda? What the hell?
We cant leave it up to 'them', its going to have to be us. We're going to have to make the changes within ourselves so that the collective conciousness can realize how insane its become and evolve.
I dont think we have very much time left...

Woops, i just kind of derailed... sorry its what came out when i read all this.

Yeah, that is what people usually mean when they say that kind of shit....

Domiguy: Hey sirsholly, did you read the new book by "Ol' Whatshisfuck?"

sirsholly: Yes I did. It was very well written.

Domiguy: So you must have really enjoyed it.

sirsholly: Fuck no. It was a piece of shit but the punctuation and the spelling were impeccable.

There ya go....I just wanted to clear this matter up so we were all on the same page.

I'm sure the op and blushes will give an identically weak explanation. Feel better?

Edited to add:

ORIGINAL: sirsholly

my opinion is it was a well written statement from the authors point of view.
However, just because you disagree is no reason to slam the op for posting it.

Why didn't you mention about his grand spelling and grammar in this post? so if he used proper punctuation and spelling and said that white people were the devil....Would it still be well written?

i said it was a well written statement FORM THE AUTHORS point of view. At no time did i say i agreed with him nor did i state my personal view.

You have misunderstood my meaning.

I agree with the author. I think it's well-written and well thought out rather or not you agree with the author.
While I am a conservative, I am not against voting for a Democrat at all; nor am I opposed to voting for a black president or a female president, (why oh why couldn't Condi have run?)
But I have too many issues with the choices in the Democratic party this time, and I'm not willing to chance it.

What issues would that be?

Good evening, sweet.

Hmm. Whoever wrote that never had any intention of voting for either Hillary or Obama, IMO. They used the article to lob insults all over the place, and what's worse, lack the writing skills to make it entertaining enough to read through it without nearly nodding off.

Your Thoughts ?

Princess.....

My feelings are very simple......

I could careless about the particular candidate or the party. My assessments are made/based solely on who the candidates economic and foreign policy advisors are. That essentially tells me everything I need to know..... Who their preacher is or how much blow they snorted in college means absolutely nothing to me.....

In the case of the three candidates mentioned above.....all three are beholden to the ''Chicago boys'' /Friedman-Von Hayek / ''free-market freak'' school of thought ; with no belief/ form of protectionism built-in for US markets. It's the ''perennial'' free-trade mode of thinking that's slowly destroying our middle class.

On the foreign policy front : You have McCain.... who's basically an extension of the Bush administration's polices of aggression and preemptive war. Yes....a hundred years of the ''war on terror.''

With Obahma you have Zbignew Brzienzki and family---Mark,Mika, etc,etc, ----running the defense/state departments with war aggression directed at Russia in the form of proxy wars with stooges, patsies, dupes, etc....

You pretty much have the same thing with the Clinton machine in that Richard Holbrook, the ''mad bomber of Serbia'' would be back at the state department helm.

So you have to ask yourself.....which is worse : War with Iran/Iraq or war with the Kremlin?

For that reason.....I'm unsure whether I cast my protest vote for Ron Paul, Vlad Putin, Hugo Chavez , Mahmoud Ahmadinejad or Robert Mugabe....
