    Democrats will vote for anyone...

    S.C.'s Alvin Greene a mystery man despite becoming Democratic Senate nominee

    Somebody explain why South Carolinians voted for this guy? And, why does Democrat Jim Clyburn hate black people?

    Deja' Vu all over again...

    After all, it was just a bit over 18 months ago that Democrats similarly voted for a man with zero executive experience, thin legislative record, and obscure past.

    Other than both of these guys being black, he is nothing like Obama. Like I've said before, Obama is not the first nor the last President with zero executive experience.

    And there's absolutely nothing obscure about his past. He is not facing felony charges like this Alvin Greene is. I know you're completely bias and can see no other point of view but your own, but spare the rhetoric by comparing Obama to this guy. They are nothing alike.

    And Democrats won't vote for anyone, the South Carolina Democratic party has asked him to withdraw because of said felony charges.

    South Carolina is just a ed up state, this was the same place where 10 years ago the Bush party tried to paint McCain as having an illegitimate black child, who turned out to be the Bangladeshi child he adopted.

    I was throwing the voters into the same pot, not the candidates.

    Given the corrupt swamp in which a pre-presidental Obama swam, I consider it only luck he's not similarly situated. And, just because he wasn't charged with a felony before running for election doesn't mean he didn't commit a felony before November 2008. As the Blago trial heats up, we may hear about some of Obama's Chicago shenanigans...

    And Democrats won't vote for anyone, the South Carolina Democratic party has asked him to withdraw because of said felony charges.
    Seems to me, this is something of which the Democratic Party would have been aware long before the Tuesday vote.

    But, that they weren't only bolsters my argument that Democrats were rather incurious about Obama's past, as well.

    South Carolina is just a ed up state, this was the same place where 10 years ago the Bush party tried to paint McCain as having an illegitimate black child, who turned out to be the Bangladeshi child he adopted.
    Nice nonsequitur.

    You're right, most Democrats, a majority of Independents and some Republicans are idiots.

    Without an actual affiliation breakdown of the voters in the SC primary, that's a difficult statement to make.

    That means nothing. I'm sure you could say the same thing about any President. Just because none of them were charged with felonies doesn't mean any of them didn't commit it. That's nothing new.

    You have no basis for any of your thoughts. You're just hoping that happens. Nothing is gonna come from the Blago trial.

    Alphabetical voting seemed like a plausible explanation to me. As between two regular -stains, just vote for the top name on the ballot.

    DeMint will trounce him, of course.

    Yeah, the 'SC primary' kind of gave that away. Though if 'history repeats itself' in this case...

    As I was saying -- I'll find almost any political story from SC plausible.

    The fatuous reference to Obama (or at least, Obama voters). How could I have missed it?

    Hey Duff, here's a blast from the past for you...

    8 things you need to know about Obama and Rezko

    Blago, Sestak, and that guy in Colorado whose name I'm too lazy to look up...

    Pile on a heaping helping of administrative incompetence in just about every area and, well, maybe people will all of a sudden become interested in Obama's Chicago days.

    People voted for Obama (as the opening post mentioned) in spite of the fact that he had no executive experience, little legislative experience, etc. In fact, he made it a point in the state legislature to simply vote 'present' on controversial issues; his political aspirations were more important to him than his beliefs.

    His beliefs were often difficult to determine; he associated with Jeremiah Wright (until that became politically detrimental), the unrepentant William Ayers, enlisted the help of the corrupt organization ACORN, etc.

    The same people who mocked Palin's inexperience (though she ran for the second spot on the ticket) voted for a man with less executive experience at the head of their ticket. I'm not a huge McCain fan, but at least he demonstrated leadership (supporting the surge despite the political risk because he thought it was the right thing to do).

    Many people who intended to vote for Obama didn't even know what he stood for. I think it was the Jay Leno show where they walked around on the street asking people if they agreed with Obama's opposition to abortion, in favor of the surge, etc. and the supporters would say 'I think he's right, that's a great idea.' I do think that many/most Obama supporters were idiots in that respect, Yes.

    Obama's adaptable.

    There's a flaw in that virtue, and a virtue in that flaw. The flaw is opportunism; the virtue, expedience.

    It's the thing that's crazy-making about futbol and politics. Sometimes the clearly *worse* team wins.

    Opportunism? No doubt... Expedience? I don't see that as a virtue, either. The man's a reactionary buffoon.

    e Lee says, "get angry!" and Obama threatens to kick somebody's ass.

    Criticize him for not talking with the BP CEO in the 59 days since the blowout...and, voila', on day 60 he's meeting with the CEO.
