Does It Hurt To Be So Ill- Informed ?
Nixon Passed Affirmative Action Laws and Supported Them !!
September 1969
The Nixon administration develops the Philadelphia Plan, which requires contractors on federally supported projects to set minority hiring goals.
Richard Nixon's approval of the Philadelphia Plan during his 1968 presidential term provided the basis for affirmative action. The plan targeted racial bias in the building trades, setting "hiring goals" rather than "quotas," although distinctions between the two terms was never fully clarified. This contradicts popular attribution of affirmative action to Nixon's Democratic predecessors.
"Incredible but true," declared Fortune magazine at the time of Richard M. Nixon's death in 1994. "It was the Nixonites who gave us employment quotas."(1) Until recently, many scholars and journalists have credited Democratic Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson with initiating affirmative action. Yet it was a Republican president who first sanctioned formal goals and time frames to raze barriers to minority employment. Nixon, recalled civil rights leader James Farmer, was the strongest president on affirmative action--up to that point."(2)
www.encyclopedia.com
Kevin Yuill offers some important insights into the origins of affirmative-action policies in this study of Richard Nixon's role during his presidency in expanding programs to increase minority hiring by the government and private employers. Nixon's civil rights record has confounded scholars because of its inconsistencies and contradictions. A conservative who won office in part by appealing to the racist tendencies of white voters, Nixon supported affirmative action while rolling back other civil rights initiatives such as school desegregation, open housing, and antipoverty programs.

I was the one who forced Obama to sit through 20 years of racist rants.
Please Show 20 Years Of Racist Rants; The
Definition Of Racist.
Racist:
noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
1. a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
I Have Not Heard Anything That Shows Wright Has Discriminated Against Whites,Especially When He Has White Members Of His Own Church Or That He Believes Blacks Are Superior To Whites.
I Do Know That This:
Huckabee Defends Rev. Jeremiah Wright
"[Y]ou can't hold the candidate responsible for everything that people around him may say or do," Huckabee says. "It's interesting to me that there are some people on the left who are having to be very uncomfortable with what ... Wright said, when they all were all over a Jerry Falwell, or anyone on the right who said things that they found very awkward and uncomfortable, years ago. Many times those were statements lifted out of the context of a larger sermon. Sermons, after all, are rarely written word for word by pastors like Rev. Wright, who are delivering them extemporaneously, and caught up in the emotion of the moment. There are things that sometimes get said, that if you put them on paper and looked at them in print, you'd say 'Well, I didn't mean to say it quite like that.'"
Later, he defended Wright's anger, too:
"As easy as it is for those of us who are white to look back and say 'That's a terrible statement!' ... I grew up in a very segregated South. And I think that you have to cut some slack -- and I'm gonna be probably the only conservative in America who's gonna say something like this, but I'm just tellin' you -- we've gotta cut some slack to people who grew up being called names..."

Pastor Of Clinton's Former Church, Dean Snyder, Defends Jeremiah Wright
The senior minister at Foundry United Methodist Church in Washington D.C., a church that the Clintons attended while in the White House, has risen to the defense of Barack Obama's former minister Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Wright's sermons have created a media firestorm over the last weeks that the Obama tried to dampen in a speech and Clinton recently commented on by saying "he would not have been my pastor." Snyder released a statement praising Wright as an "outstanding church leader" who has been "a profound voice for justice and inclusion in our society."
This morning Snyder appeared on MSNBC and defended Wright. Snyder said that while he may not agree with everything Wright has said, he believes that "the church in America is stronger today because of [Wright's] leadership.

Evidence scant that Wright hurt Obama much in Ind., N.C.
WASHINGTON -- The reaction _ or lack of it _ by Indiana and North Carolina voters to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's incendiary comments emphasizes how deeply entrenched the racial lines of support are for the two Democratic presidential rivals.
It doesn't seem likely that the renewed focus on Wright has helped Barack Obama, and it is all but certain that he'll hear more about it from Republicans should he win his party's nomination. But for now, there's little evidence it hurt him much in this week's Democratic contests.
After all the attention to Wright and Obama's disavowal of his former pastor, exit polls in the two states found that:
_Six in 10 white voters in both states supported Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is waging an increasingly long-shot struggle to become the party nominee. That's close to the average 57 percent of whites who had backed the New York senator in Democratic primaries since Super Tuesday, which was Feb. 5.

Rangel slams HRC's white support talk
NEW YORK -- Rep. Charles B. Rangel (D-N.Y.), among Hillary Rodham Clinton's top African-American supporters, was none too pleased with Clinton's comments this week to USA Today that she has broader appeal with white voters.
The statement was "the dumbest thing she could have said," Rangel told reporters before a Clinton fundraiser in a midtown hotel ballroom Saturday.
He called her statement "very poorly worded" but acknowledged there may be some truth to it.
"In any campaign, there are groups of people that you know that you have and groups of people that you don't," he said. "And I don't care what it is. White, black, Catholic, Protestant -- pollsters and newspaper reporters, that's all they know, and so they keep asking the same question over and over. I mean, this happens in campaigns."
Still, Rangel said Clinton should leave it to others to make the case that she has more appeal to white voters.

PJB: Why the GOP is Losing

Why the GOP is Losing
by Patrick J. Buchanan - November 3, 2006
Entering the weekend before his midterms, George Bush and his party appear fated to lose the House they have held for a dozen years. The Senate is on a knife's edge.
The latest polls continue to show that by 52 percent to 37 percent Americans wish to see a Democratic takeover. Approval of Congress has never been lower. Americans think the nation is on the wrong track. Support for the war in Iraq has collapsed to a third of the nation.
What went wrong? Certainly, on three traditional Republican issues " strong military, conservative judges and lower taxes " the GOP remains America's Party.
How do we know? Because no Democrat in a close race is calling, Mondale-like, for higher taxes or attacking Bush for elevating judges John Roberts and Sam Alito to the Supreme Court. In the tight Senate races in Tennessee and Virginia, Democratic nominees Harold Ford and Jim Webb are outspokenly pro-defense.
On immigration, where Bush aligns with Kennedy-McCain, his party has abandoned him. The Republican House stands for border security, no amnesty and no new guest-worker program. Nor is this a losing issue. Even Hillary Clinton voted for 700 miles of security fence on the Mexican border.
What, then, are the causes of Republican malaise?
First is the perception the GOP is no longer a virtuous party that seeks to live up to principles and a high standard of public ethics. The adventures of the Abramoff Gang, Mark Foley, Duke Cunningham and his poker-party pals, of pork barrel and bridges to nowhere have demoralized the Republican base and disgusted Middle America. There is a feeling, even on the right, that if this crowd is run out of Dodge, its expulsion will not be unwarranted.
Second, while the macro economy seems to be firing on all eight cylinders " the Dow has risen above 12,000, and the Misery Index of inflation plus unemployment has fallen to the lowest levels in modern times " not all Americans are participating in the prosperity.
Employment in health care has grown by almost 2 million, but some 3 million manufacturing jobs have vanished. There has been a population explosion among billionaires, but the real median wage of a male worker has not risen in decades. The daily closure of factories here, as more and more Chinese goods show up at Wal-Mart, points to inescapable consequences: The price of the GOP's free-trade-uber-alles ideology is the loss of the Reagan Democrats.

Poll: Black support helps Clinton extend lead
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Hillary Clinton's lead over Sen. Barack Obama, her chief rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, is growing among African-American voters who are registered Democrats, and particularly among black women, a poll said Wednesday
Among black registered Democrats overall, Clinton had a 57 percent to 33 percent lead over Obama.
That's up from 53 percent for Clinton and 36 percent for Obama in a poll carried out in April.
The 26-point difference between black women and men underscores the fact that the nation's vote is divided not only by race, but also by gender, said CNN political analyst Bill Schneider. "Black women don't just vote their black identity," he said. "They also vote their identity as women."
Among white registered Democrats, Clinton drew 49 percent support, versus 18 percent for Obama and 17 percent for former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, the latest poll found.
The question had a sampling error of plus-or-minus 6.5 percentage points.
The former first lady's strongest support among blacks came from black women, 68 percent of whom identified her as their likely choice, versus 25 percent who cited Obama, the senator from Illinois who is African-American. Watch Bill Schneider examine CNN poll results on black political support

House GOP: Can it Get Any Worse
Since losing 30 seats and their 12-year stranglehold on power in 2006, House Republicans have kept asking themselves the same question: Can it get any worse?
On Tuesday, they may get another answer they won't like.
With lots of help from Washington -- including more than $1.3 million in campaign cash and a last-minute visit by Vice President Cheney -- Mississippi Republicans are desperately trying to retain a congressional seat in one of the most reliably conservative districts in the nation.
The stakes in the 1st District special election couldn't be higher, strategically or symbolically. The loss of a traditionally GOP seat to a Democrat would be the third in a special election this spring and the second in the Deep South after the May 3 victory of Rep. Don Cazayoux (D-La.).
Rank-and-file Republicans say that would force a day of reckoning for their leadership.

"McCain did not flip flop on tax cuts. He always supported tax cuts but wanted cuts in spending to match and since that was not in the original bill he voted against it. He supports keeping the tax cuts now because he intends to make those spending cuts as president."

McCain Changes Story on Tax Cut Stance
WASHINGTON -- Republican John McCain says he opposed President Bush's tax cuts because they didn't come with spending cuts. That is not what he said at the time.
In a presidential debate on Wednesday, McCain said he voted against the Bush tax cuts because he wanted to rein in spending.
"I disagreed when we had tax cuts without spending restraint," the Arizona senator said.
The explanation fits with his history of railing against wasteful federal spending. But it does not fit with McCain's comments when he opposed the Bush tax cuts in 2001 and 2003.
In 2001, McCain said the tax cuts favored the wealthy at the expense of the middle class. In 2003, he said there should be no tax cuts until the Iraq war costs were known.
His aversion to the Bush tax cuts is just another reason McCain gives heartburn to many in the conservative GOP base. Besides taxes, there is also his more forgiving attitude toward illegal immigration, his effort to limit money in politics and his long-running feuds with leaders of the Christian right.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new survey of the electoral college math by LifeNews.com shows pro-abortion Democratic candidate Barack Obama would likely win the November presidential election against John McCain. However, McCain would appear to defeat Hillary Clinton if she became the Democratic nominee.
Looking at the past two presidential elections and current and recent polling data in states across the country, numerous states easily fit into a Republican or Democratic category no matter which candidate represents the Democratic Party.
Republicans begin with a 183 to 174 electoral advantage among states that will almost certainly go one way or the other. That's due to the strong support the party has in presidential contests in southern and western states.

WASHINGTON (AP) Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has improved on his stunning support in the race for campaign cash, raising his total number of donors to nearly 250,000 people in the first six months of the year.
The freshman Illinois senator impressed rivals in the first quarter when he reported 104,000 donors, but he surpassed the mark in the second quarter with 138,000 more opening their wallets, the campaign announced Thursday.

In 2007, the 2008 presidential candidates raised $582.5 million and spent $481.2 million.
In the 4th quarter of 2007, individuals in the Army, Navy and Air Force made those branches of the armed services the No. 13, No. 18 and No. 21, contributing industries, respectively. War opponent Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, received the most from donors in the military, collecting at least $212,000 from them. Another war opponent, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, was second with about $94,000.
Soldiers love Ron and Barack, and lobbyists love Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, the No. 1 recipient of lobbyist cash, receiving $823,000 in 2007 from the lobbying industry, which gave about $2.7 million overall.
Lawyers and law firms have contributed more than any other industry, giving $46.6 million. Democrats got 77 percent of that, with Clinton the top recipient.
Youth vote, shmooth vote, Obama has raised more from retired individuals -- the second biggest donor group -- than any other remaining candidate.

Obama Is Clearly More Electable Over Clinton

Do you see where I am going with this?
IMO, Clinton is more electable than Obama in the general.
Posted by JeffJ
No I Do Not.
The Math show that one candidate receives a Overwhelming amount of one demographic, which mathematically would make them More electable.
In No Demographic does Hillary receive 92 % of Any.
Obama has won in states with less than 5% of a Black Population. So Reverse that for Hillary and she would have received 88% of all votes cast.
Beyond that Her Most Grave Issue Is She Has Higher Negatives Than Positives. That McCain and Obama Both Have Higher Positive Ratings. No President Has Ever Been Elected With Higher Negative Ratings Than Positives In American History.
Obama Has :
1. More States Won
2. More Pledged Delegates
3. More Of The Popular vote
4. More Younger Voters
5. More New Voters (Old and Young)
6. More Independent Voters ( Which Is Key)
7. More Cross Over Voters
8. Higher National Election Polling
9. Has Gained More Super Delegates Since Super Tuesday (91 vs 13)
10. Has Been Endorsed By The Boss And Jay Z
So Honestly She Is Not The Most Electable Because She Is Behind Because The Facts Prove It.
