#1 Spoken by a woman who, had she not been a woman, would never have been a vice presidential candidate.

A point, IIRC, she has also stated publicly.

#2 Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, "was a white man, he would not be in this position.

Appears she was actually half right... er, uh, half wrong. You decide.

#4 Ms. Ferraro is correct, both in the original statement and in her choice to speak on this important subject rather than campaign.

#6 A party that can not run on truth is a party that can not effectively govern.

#7 Shame of it is, she got forced out for telling the truth.

Were Obama a white female, he would be of no account based on his accomplishments.

Were Obama a white male, he would be of no account based on his accomplishments. He'd not be pulling 90% of the black vote, thats for sure, not against Hillary.

His only assets are that he is glib, and black - and the press covers for him in terms of not publicizing negatives and going along with "the race card" every time it is played by the Obama team.

The real, but unspoken, issue is that Blacks have decided to be completely racist and vote on skin color rather than substance.

And that's the ugly truth that nobody in the press will speak.

#8 In Liberal-Land its considered Progressive to vote for someone simply based on their age, race, or gender. But you are a bigot if they vote against someone based on those very same characteristics. Of course, unless your talking about Old White Men.

#9 Coming up next on Back to the Future, Walter Mondale asks "Who's the colored guy?"...

#10 The real, but unspoken, issue is that Blacks have decided to be completely racist and vote on skin color rather than substance.

Shocking, absolutely shocking.

#14 a party that can not effectively govern.

Govern? Hell, they can't even figure out voting, what with all the super delegates and the Michigan/Florida snafu.

#15 if Clinton's rival, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, "was a white man, he would not be in this position.

True. He'd be home at Chateau Breck.

Mebbe I'm mean, but I smile when I see that...
