This Weekend I Made Sweet Love To The Entire State Of South Carolina

Because as of this weekend, hope has established a beachhead. Dreams have a fighting chance. Because this weekend our potential as a people was attacked by the moldy old cynicism of those who see politics as a profession, and hope landed a solid shot to the temple that will allow the fight to continue. After this weekend South Carolina Democrats deserve the type mind blowing orgasm most of us think possible only in our dreams.

The political discourse in this country at the beginning of the month was all about hope. Seems like an eternity ago doesn't it?

the time has come to move beyond the bitterness and pettiness and anger that's consumed Washington; to end the political strategy that's been all about division and instead make it about addition - to build a coalition for change that stretches through Red States and Blue States. Because that's how we'll win in November, and that's how we'll finally meet the challenges that we face as a nation.

Do you remember who changed the subject? I'll give you a hint. It was the only candidate who wears a dress in public. That's who changed the subject. Hillary Clinton's strategy was to mock people who dream of change. Who dedicate their life to making the impossible a reality.

I would point to the fact that that Dr. King's dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964


LBJ may be your choice for inspiration Hillary, I mean, he was a warmonger, kinda like you. I'll stick with the King though, thanks.

By the way, that comment wouldn't have anything to do with reminding us all that Obama is black now would it? Like this one your husband made?

“Jesse Jackson won South Carolina twice, in ’84 and ’88. And he ran a good campaign. And Senator Obama’s run a good campaign here.

Please explain to me Bill, what possible connection you see there to Jesse and Barack. Their politics are radically different you know. Or maybe you never noticed 'cause they all look the same to you.

Oh, and Bill, Obama's opposition to the war your wife voted for? It's one of the most well documented......to use your words....."fairy tales" in history. If you click on the link be sure to notice the date. Bill used to be so much better at lying.

So in South Carolina, the politics of divisiveness, of calculation, of seeking office to do what is convenient and easy, attacked....and walked away with a black eye. Don't get me wrong, we're still the underdog and we'll still have to fight like hell, but for the first time in a generation, hope has a chance.

I'm up next on February 5th, and so are most of you. Hope. Dream. You won't be sorry.

It felt great to cast that ballot on Saturday. It was also shocking to hear the results by 7:05 pm. It's hard to be blue in a blood red state but I was tickled pink on Saturday.

I can't believe that little dude edwards couldn't win in his homestate. How did ever get elected senator in the first place?

Now I have gone to Oboma as Edwards looks dead.

Could you be any fucking cooler? Since you're a pharmacist, I know you're wicked smart and you know that the answer is of course no.
