TX two-step, Vermont slide

Some of the people I'm related to live in Texas, which you may have heard is also holding a primary today. Like Vermont (heck, like anywhere), Texas is not a place you can paint with a broad political brush. Yes, it is the home of George W. Bush, they drive big trucks across vast acres, they wear cowboy boots and some of them are actual cowboys.

But such a big place is also filled lots of kinds of people. Just for an example, San Antonio is only an hour from Austin and the two cities are hugely different - San Antonio tends toward laid-back and conservative, Austin hip and mostly liberal.

They don't wait until the last day to do their voting there (you don't have to here either, but it sounds more common to vote early there), and one person I'm related to said the line for voting in the Democratic primary in Austin last Friday was down the block and around the bend. But there was a line for the Republican primary too. Obama and Clinton, as the polls indicate, seem to be splitting the D's votes.

Of course, Texas has to do things different, which brings us to the Texas Two-Step of voting. They can vote early and often. Along with the primary, they have caucuses tonight, where some more delegates are decided. And they call Vermont weird.

Enough about Texas, though. What are your predictions for tonight's results here in sleet-filled Vermont? By what percent? Does it get decided for Obama tonight? If Clinton regains momentum, will there be any stopping her?

Obama is toast. The press is finally starting to look past his cult of personality, and finding (1) Questionable dealings with Tony Rezko (2) Telling Canadian officials "not to worry" about NAFTA, because he doesn't mean what he's saying on the stump (3) Won't actively denounce anti-semite "minister" Farrakhan (4) his Weather Underground terrorist pal is not going to help him much. Bye Bye Barack!
 
Obama did reject Farrakhan's suuport; however, McCain has refused to denounce his virulently anti-Catholic
supporter because "he has a large following." Desperate for votes much?
 
Could the above semi-literate poster name the supposed "anti-Catholic" McCain supporter and reasons to believe he is anti-Catholic? Hope you're not another proof-free jw!
 
The Texas Legislature saves its taxpayers big bucks by meeting evry other year simply to pass a state budget. Too bad little ol' Vermont can't at least shorten our session to save Vermonters $56.000.00 per day.
 
John Hagee is the openly anti-Catholic preacher who endorsed John McCain.

John McCain solicited the support and endorsement of Hagee and then he held a joint appearance with Hagee in which he formally endorsed him.
 
And your proof that Hagee is "anti-Catholic"?

I gotta hand it to ya, bubble boy. That's the most convincing argument I've heard since Cheney claimed we'd be showered with sweets and flowers welcomed as liberators by the Iraqis, Rummy said Iraq could last 3 weeks, 6 weeks, I doubt 6 months and Wolfowitz claimed the War in Iraq would pay for itself.

By all means, now that McCain has once again gotten fewer votes by winning than Hillary did by losing, you and your nameless-nitwit bupkis brigade need to keep dazzlin' me with all those ignorant, ill-informed, white-supremacist slime "facts" you coalition of the clueless clowns have cornered the market on.

I just love gop-slop fairy tale humor.

Always a pleasure.
 
Hagee routinely compares Catholics to Nazis. Do a Google search.

He does not hide his anti-catholic views. He's proud of them.

Hey, I'm just surprised he didn't ask ya to prove reverend fred phelps wasn't anti-gay, Falwell never claimed 9/11 was God's Revenge on the American People for being too tolerant of gays, JFK got himself shot just so he wouldn't have to tell the American People he was pullin' the plug on Vietnam and that water was wet while he was at it.

Clearly, he's off his game today because the facts tellin' him he was the voice of the silent majority of "real" Vermonters and that McCain was gonna kick ass and get more votes than Obama and Clinton combined today turned out to be just another heapin' helpin' of horsebrit hume.

You can understand how that really cheneyed up the schmuck's day.

At least he's got that hunting trip at Parc Safari with the dickster to look forward to.

"Actually, now that you ask, please provide it JW. You would ask for it."

And you'd be as unable to provide it as ya are now, little factually-challenged/fundamentally-dishonest-slime fella.

In view of that fact, I doubt I'd bother to ask your ignorant ass.

Always a pleasure.
 
yawn
 
Like to chat, jw, but got to get back to the Tony Rezko hearings.

Have a nice day.
 
bubba has left a new comment on the post "TX two-step, Vermont slide":

"Like to chat, jw, but got to get back to the Tony Rezko hearings."

Well, you've always grasped at straws and tried to change the subject every time someone called your ignorant, ill-informed, white supremacist-slime bluff and demanded to see your cards in the past, little factually-challenged fella, it'd be unreasonable to expect you to quit while you're losin' and confine yourself to the facts now.

Always a pleasure.

Bupkis.

Dismissed.
 
yawn!
 
If the phone rings at 3AM at Barak's house it is probably Tont Rezko calling for bail money.
Tony Rezko now there's a guy after JW's heart.
Rezko is a crook JW and his good friend Barak is too or maybe he just used a little bad judgement.
Either way he ain't no Hilary!

JW put that in an empty Richard's bottle and stuff it where the sun don't shine

Your friend wild bill
 
The definition of comedy:

Barack Obama dodging the Tony Rezko issue and at the same time demanding Clinton disclose her tax returns in the name of transparency.

Will the hypocrisy ever end?

Captain America
 
Hey we found a way to shut JW up. Mention Barak's number 1 bud Tony Rezko.

JW had to put up or shut up on that one

Hows the Dickies Wild Irish taste tonite JW?? Little bitter like Tony R

HAHAHA
Your Friend wild bill
 
Rubba Dub Dub
Three crooks in a tub
JW, Tony R and Barak Oslima

actually JW is more of a dub in a tub

HAHAHA

Your Friend wild bill
 
All W's crooked cronies would need the Sixth Fleet and then some.
