Uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their decision. Of 42 lawmakers interviewed by The Hill, only four said they regarded the primary vote as decisive.

   Right on! That’s why I keep saying don’t count HilLiary out; the Klintons are still powerful and cunning and ruthless as ever.

   What do you think her chances are now? I’m beginning to get worried.

   The Superdelegates issue isn’t settled. And there are all those “disenfranchised” Florida and Michigan voters.

   I don’t know what her chances are, but The Klintons have party power that Obama doesn’t.

   Why should any of you give one rat’s hair how the Dems select their candidate? If I were a Rep, I’d be more concerned with Vicki Iseman (whatever happened to her?) and the eminent Rev Hagee; not to mention the war, economy, on and on and on.

   Because we are Conservatives and John McCain doesn’t give Conservatives very much good to talk about.

   And watching the Democrites is entertainment; at least we can have that much. It’s like watching the comedy show while aboard aboard the Titanic.

   I am pumped up about McCain..Let’s talk about the economy Ellis! What happened to it? Since the Democrats took control:

   In just 16 months.. Remember the election in 2006?
   Thought you might like to read the following:
   A little over 16 MONTHS ago:

   1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
   2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
   3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.

   Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen:

   1) Consumer confidence plummet;
   2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $3.50 a gallon;
   3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
   4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses);
   5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars;
   6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.

   America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!

   Remember it’s Congress that makes law not the President. He has to work with what’s handed to him.

   Part 2:
   Taxes…Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing.
   http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.html
   Taxes under Clinton 1999 Taxes under Bush 2008
   Single making 30K – tax $8,400 Single making 30K – tax $4,500
   Single making 50K – tax $14,000 Single making 50K – tax $12,500
   Single making 75K – tax $23,250 Single making 75K – tax $18,750
   Married making 60K – tax $16,800 Married making 60K- tax $9,000
   Married making 75K – tax $21,000 Married making 75K – tax $18,750
   Married making 125K – tax $38,750 Married making 125K – tax $31,250

   Both democratic candidates will return to the higher tax rates
   It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If Obama or Hillary are elected, they both say they will repeal the Bush tax cuts and a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can’t wait for it to happen. This is like the movie The Sting with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don’t even know what happened.

   You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this:
   Boy, am I confused. I have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror that is bankrupting us. I now find that to be RIDICULOUS.
