There are other reasons of course, MANY which I concluded, but I felt and still feel that HERMAN CAIN should have been the nominee of the Party this season. They only have the race card at this time, and such a nomination of a Black Conservative would drive them batshi*, and it did, and that is why they had to politically destroy him. At the very least, I would suspect the VP nominee should be African American, very eloquent, and be the stalking horse to directly take on Obama each and ever time in the General Election he raises the race card. That may be our only hope. I certainly hope Rick or whomever the nominee is, finds somebody good in this regard for Veep. I would not otherwise say this, but at times one must be tactical and anticipate what kinds of attacks are coming.

That’s the theory, but I am not quite so sure. I do believe there are criminal acts in his past he is concealing — or that others are concealing for him — and I fully believe that he is worried that losing power, and thus the ability to threaten people into silence would be disastrous to him.

He’s irritated a huge number of people worldwide. What happens after he leaves the White House, if he ever leaves, is not something he is looking forward to.

Not only that, Ronin, if a GOOD Republican worth his salt and not a mealy mouth RINO takes over the White House, many positions with national security clearances will ultimately be reviewed, and HORROR STORIES regarding hiring and appointments in the last four Obama Years will emerge, some of them most likely rising to the point of internal security violations of the law by this Administration (putting known terrorist or terrorist symps or security risks in sensitive USG positions). And so, this is really “Katy bar the door” because a defeat of Obama necessarily means to him, at least one or two years down the line, certain arrest by Federal Authorities, or an escape to a life in exile, once everything is unraveled and brought out into the sunlight of scrutiny. Hence, they play for KEEPS this election cycle. Not pretty, but, there you have it. A Carter or a Clinton or a Bush could go into simple retirement or the rubber chicken circuit both in the US and more lucratively abroad. Not this buzzard Obama. No way. Lotta’ baggage there, lotta’ nasty stuff to come out if he loses the White House. Shame on the American People for electing him in their foolishness and blindness (but also shame on the GOP for putting up McLame)......

For these Race Baiters, freedom is a concept the white “crackers” use to get over on them. It proves that their racism is as evil as the one that puts human beings into slavery.

They have a degenerate idea of human freedom. Their idea of freedom is getting the free stuff from the government without even working. That way they can get from the rich ones without having to steal from them. It is this moral degeneracy that would never have liberated their ancestors from the bonds of slavery. This is a primitive thinking which has detached itself from the moral legacy of Western Civilization and sunk into mob rule and moral depravity. We are witnessing a moral degeneracy that is sucking in as many mentally susceptible sops as possible.

It shows the abject degeneracy of Zer0’s political base. For them the race card is their Holy Communion.

That is why Sandy Berger went into the national archives and stole/smuggled out national security documents and destroyed them, because under a Bush Administration they could well have come out creating a major problem for former President Clinton and most likely himself. I would not, as the next President, allow ANY former Obama official nor agent anywhere near Executive Office files and computers or national archives or other documents and databases and the like.

Seeing the post with as many responses as it had, couldn’t help wonder why anyone would give a rodent’s rear-end to what what’s-his-face on Nobody TV has to say.

Not my first rodeo, and haven’t seen an election yet where race was not put front and center, by leftist racists.

“He wants everyone to know he can indeed launch a race war if he wants to — and the media will cheer him on. “

And this is why the Republicans should write the “Fairness Doctrine.” Something as simple as every news story needs a “This is an editorial from the perpective of the “fill in the blank” would drive the libs mad. And there is nothing they could do about it since voting against it exposes them.

If they lie, big fines with the threat of being closed. Rush would happily admit he is a conservative. Matthews would crap his pants.

I would also force media to state if the columnist, reporter had any ties to political figures. “Former Clinton appointee Stephanopoulus” said... That carries a lot of weight.

In my case, it’s because it is so astounding he wasn’t FORCED to crawl back under the rock he came from and STAY THERE. Kinda like a criminal from New York, escaping justice only to continue ply his dirty slander from some backwater instead of the big city.

Dere ain’t no justice in this whirl.

The left will try to paint any opposition to 0bama as “racist”.

Of course, the answer to this is another question -

“Do you honestly believe I’d support this communist as president if only he were WHITE?”

For these Race Baiters, ...

I think you're being unfair to poor Dan Rather.

Rather is not some run-of-the-mill DBM race-baiter; he is not some second rate GWB-baiter.

Oh, no! With his record, Dan Rather is a Master Baiter.

Now you know. Don't make me say it again.
