Defection
May 1st, 2008 at 06:10pm Matt Margolis
While it has not been a good week for Obama, this news doesn’t exactly make it a good week for Hillary.
Hillary Rodham Clinton was jolted Thursday by the defection of one of her longtime superdelegate supporters, a former national party chairman who urged fellow Democrats to “reject the old negative politics” and unify behind Barack Obama.
“A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to continue” a long, self-destructive Democratic campaign, Joe Andrew added in a letter designed to have an impact on the turbulent race nationally as well as in his home state of Indiana, site of a primary next week.
“A vote to continue this process is a vote that assists John McCain,” Andrew wrote.
Well, I say the process is going to continue. Hillary ain’t going to quit. Dick Morris believes Hillary knows she’s lost but is sticking in regardless.. but I’m not so sure. I think Hillary still believes she can pull it off.

I think Hillary thinks she can win too. The Clintons are relentless, a quality I actually admire in them, and will never stop in their selfish pursuit for power. Whether or not this pursuit hurts the party is inconsequential to them.
For the last year I had almost ceded the 08 election to the Dems. But the more these questionably-qualified Democratic candidates blunder and battle their way to the nomination, the more I am liking McCains chances.

But he also said the superdelegates should vote for the candidate who wins the popular vote and if they want to count Michigan and Florida then it will be Hillary. He and others like him are also in a position they could switch votes.

Off topic but I have to vent. Turns out the p.o.s that hit my car (it was parked in front of my apartment) a few weeks ago while drunk driving is indeed an illegal alien and big surprise has no drivers license and insurance. This means my car is damaged goods, and might be totalled out, my rates are going up, and I have to pay the f-ing deductible. Explain to me again why they shouldn’t be run out of this country? Oh right, they are doing the work that Americans wont. Somehow, I don’t really give a crap.

All it would take is for one more Barack NMN Obama issue to come up along the lines of Wright, and the Superdelegates might jump to Hillary. It’s no wonder Obama does not want to debate.

Just to p**s off those Obama supporters out there, I’ve decided to start calling him “Barry.”

Js, who are you to know who’s sworn their soul to anybody? Do you have some kind of channel to the darker powers? Or do you just get off talking about occult stuff?

Corinthians 12:1-11 - [Verse 1 in Original Greek]
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. 2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. 3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: F41 and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 And there are differences of administrations, F42 but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

lesson two…discernment is not judgement…nor is condemning acts swearing…and in the darkness of the flesh…those who belong do satan do not discern the sheep….for the sheep are guided by the light….where as the followers of the fallen horde wander in darkness…lashing out one at the other….slashing from fear of the unknown…caused by thier separation from thier creator…by thier own doing…what use chaos to love, or temper to charity…or faithlessness to hope….therefor…excecise discernment…..to see the light….is to know there is darkness amoung the sons of men….and where the light shines….darkness flee’s….

You cite “No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” Barack Obama gives testimony to Jesus Christ as his Lord. Case closed.
Nobody with spiritual discernment would dare say the kind of things you say on this blog. You have no special insight into the state of Barack Obama’s soul; furthermore your logic and example make a pathetic argument for Christianity.
