Damn, even the blacks don't want Osama Obama on the ticket.
How fucked up is that???
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Two key black political leaders in South Carolina who backed John Edwards in 2004 said Tuesday they are supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
State Sens. Robert Ford and Darrell Jackson told The Associated Press they believe Clinton is the only Democrat who can win the presidency. Both said they had been courted by Illinois Sen. Barack Obama; Ford said Obama winning the primary would drag down the rest of the party.
"Then everybody else on the ballot is doomed," Ford said. "Every Democratic candidate running on that ticket would lose because he's black and he's at the top of the ticket _ we'd lose the House, the Senate and the governors and everything."
"I'm a gambling man. I love Obama," Ford said. "But I'm not going to kill myself."
Ford said he was swayed by calls from former President Clinton and Hillary Clinton. He said she has solid support in Charleston, one of the key regions in the state with a significant black Democratic voting population.
Jackson, who also is the minister of a large church in the state's capital city, said Edwards _ a South Carolina native who won the state's Democratic primary three years ago _ had his chance.
"I feel as if he's had his opportunity," Jackson said.
The endorsements come just days before Obama and Clinton campaign in the state for the first time as 2008 candidates.
Support from black voters is key in South Carolina, where 49 percent of the Democratic presidential primary vote came from blacks in 2004. The state will host the first Southern primaries for both the GOP and Democrats in 2008.
Clinton's campaign spokesman Mo Elleithee said they were happy to have Ford and Jackson's support.
"We're grateful we're starting to get the support of some key leaders," Elleithee said.

Are these the same 'black leaders' who like to say racist things like 'Hymie Town'?
I could see how Obama might fuck up their 'image'

I agree with the first part... I disagree with the second part..
But this is the problem I have with you.... you can't distinguish my hatred for Bush from me having some sort of agenda with Republicans....
Why do you pretend to say I hate republicans.... I mean, it's true I have no regard for Democrats OR Republicans, I think they are both equally greedy and corrupt.
But that doesn't mean I want them to die....
And... I'm going to give YOU the benefit of the doubt here and pretend like you honestly give a fuck about what I'm going to tell you..... so listen
TRY, PLEASE TRY, try to elevate yourself above the 'black and white' world that these neo-cons are trying to get you to live in.
If you're not with us, you're against us
If you hate Bush, then you are pro-terrorism
If you disagree with me, you're unamerican
If you believe Global Warming is man-made, you're a chicken little global alarmist..
Try to understand that this way of thinking, in itself, is a fallacy of logic. The world is not black and white, there are many many different ways of thinking. And because someone doesn't approve of what Bush does, doesn't mean we're Anti-America... it only means we're anti-bush... it doesn't mean I'm anti-republican..... I'm just anti-bush.
Please try to understand that.... I'm probably more conservative in my ways of thinking than I am liberal when it comes down to it.... but all you Bush supporters just assume I'm a liberal because I don't agree with Bush.
Try to elevate yourself beyond that mindset.... then, we can have some intelligent discussions about topics and issues.... and don't be afraid to say when you're wrong... maybe one of us has opened your eyes to a different way of thinking...
That's why I kick it in the politics forum... I listen to everyone's point of view... it keeps my mind open and objective to see things from all angles.... you should really try it.
Except zimmie..... he's a child fucker, and a liar. |
