Heroes, Myth, Mynah Birds, and McCain

Snark to Screech or Obama and Clinton eat babies
So for the record I am not a Democrat, I really never cared for the party, I'll spare the reasons. I am fortunate because I live in Oakland, so I can vote third party most of the time and it'll...more »

Hillary is a strong candidate. Pennsylvania is not a Democratic stronghold, nor a Republican stronghold.

Have you really been to Cambria? Really, you don't see it anymore because you choose not to?
It would inconvenience your view of Obama, and maintaining a sour view of him is more important than truth.

Actually that is exactly it, not just close to it.

Thanks. I posted before I saw yours, you managed to write without bile in your throat, unlike me.
I really hope you are right, I hope it catches folks deaply.
I am unable to get back to work the primary, but will be there to work the GE, it will be a tough fight there regardless.

"Isn't it a shame there is so little "wrong" about Obama that we have to spend time talking about his minister and his empathy for small town, economically distressed people?"

"First get some data"
That is like asking for proof of other well established facts like say, evolution. Simply put it is just tedious, and a pointless distraction on your part.
"second stop looking for excuses"
What excuses, really? It would be great if all Democratic politicians would understand this and try to connect with these disenfranchised communities and try to educate those who have never lived it.
You obviously support Clinton, that is fine. You are trying to score political points by inventing a gotcha, that is not fine.
