New Jersey split over McGreevey

Not that there is anything wrong with Jim McGreevey. But this is just too much. Can't people wait until November?

What I find most funny is that he's still married. That just goes to show ya how fag hags stick up for their gay friends.

Why is there such a controversy?

"If McGreevey were to leave office before September 3, a special election would be held in November to elect a replacement. The Quinnipiac poll findings are consistent with those of two other polls released last week, which found New Jerseyans split over what McGreevey should do. For voters, a candidate's sexual orientation does not appear to matter. Seventy-eight percent said they would have no problem voting for an openly gay candidate."

It is obvious that he's using the November 15th date to avoid a special election. So what? Let the man be I say. As far as the NJ voters having no problem with a gay candidate goes, I think they are full of horsesh*t.

Is Obama black enough

Barack Obama is running for Senate in the good state of Illnois, Hey wasn't Lincoln from there? Man I hope Obama doesn't go to the theater EVER. Hey Obama if someone invites you to see a show staring the great great great great grandson of John Wilks Booth DON'T GO. It's a TRAP!

Ok nuff of the funny business and on to the big question IS OBAMA black enough? In my humble opinon NO, its a moot issue and people need to stop hating on him. It's a good thing that he is not considered black enough. Why you ask? Well because he has a white momma and he was raised by his white grand parents. Now of course he probably got looked at funny when he went to the mall with his mom and he probably got teased cause his daddy is from Africa so I'm sure he got the jokes about his daddy fighting lions and riding elephants. Ok fine but that's as far as it goes.

Barack Obama did not have your normal “Black community” experience. He was born in Hawaii. His father left the family to go to Harvard to finish his engineering education and from there returned to Africa when Barack was young. His mother stayed in Hawaii, so he never really knew his father except through letters. He grew up in Hawaii, Indonesia (his mother remarried to an Indonesian man when he was six), and back to Hawaii at age ten where he was mostly brought up by his Kansan grandparents. Until college, he never lived in a "Black" community. He now lives in and identifies with the African-American community of Hyde Park, Chicago.

If people in their
backward logic want to think that this man isn't black enough then let it be, at the end of the day he is a black man. People need to see past the Harvard education and really understand that.

The bottomline is that in the past "black" candidates are usually portrayed as trouble makers who will whine and complain at the drop of a hat and make big speeches but really not do anything (ex. Al Sharpton). America needs a leader that can bring both races together so we can get over out stupid prejudices and Obama is the man for that job. I'll be watching for him in 8 to 12 years.

Obama speech breakdown

The following is what Barack Obama really said in his speech at the DNC convention last week. I hope you all enjoy.

Thank you, Dick Durbin. You make us all proud.
Thank you for introducing me to America Mr. White Man

On behalf of the great state of Illinois... ... crossroads of a nation, land of Lincoln, let me express my deep gratitude for the privilege of addressing this convention. Tonight is a particular honor for me because, let's face it, my presence on this stage is pretty unlikely.
I’m from Illinois you know the guy that freed the slaves was from there and let’s face it some of you didn’t expect to hear from a Negro tonight. Kinda ironic huh?

My father was a foreign student, born and raised in a small village in Kenya. He grew up herding goats, went to school in a tin- roof shack. His father, my grandfather, was a cook, a domestic servant to the British.
My granddad was black and poor, and if you haven’t figured it out yet he was a British slave.

But my grandfather had larger dreams for his son. Through hard work and perseverance my father got a scholarship to study in a magical place, America, that's shown as a beacon of freedom and opportunity to so many who had come before him.
My grandfather wanted my father to get out and do something with his life so he made him study hard and sent him to a magical place called America in where a African can do things you black folks here have trouble doing like go to Harvard.

While studying here my father met my mother. She was born in a town on the other side of the world, in Kansas.
My mom is white.

Her father worked on oilrigs and farms through most of the Depression. The day after Pearl Harbor, my grandfather signed up for duty, joined Patton's army, marched across Europe. Back home my grandmother raised a baby and went to work on a bomber assembly line. After the war, they studied on the GI Bill, bought a house through FHA and later moved west, all the way to Hawaii, in search of opportunity.
My granddad on the white side of my family was poor too. And he’s a WWII vet. See America I have family that fought for your freedoms. See America I’m just like you.

And they too had big dreams for their daughter, a common dream born of two continents.
But I don't think they expected this.

My parents shared not only an improbable love; they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or "blessed," believing that in a tolerant America, your name is no barrier to success.
My name was my dad’s idea my mom lost the coin toss.

They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren't rich, because in a generous America you don't have to be rich to achieve your potential.
Can you say SCHLORSHIP America? Not to mention my dad did go to HARVARD so I had a little help …it’s nice being a LEGACY.

They're both passed away now. And yet I know that, on this night, they look down on me with great pride.
Try interviewing them ya CNN Bitches. Can you say CLEAN SLATE?

And I stand here today grateful for the diversity of my heritage, aware that my parents' dreams live on in my two precious daughters. I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.
That's a stretch America this could happen in France.

Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy; our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal...
…as long as you go to Harvard.

... that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
…and white women for African foreign students.

That is the true genius of America, a faith... in simple dreams, an insistence on small miracles; that we can tuck in our children at night and know that they are fed and clothed and safe from harm; that we can say what we think, write what we think, without hearing a sudden knock on the door; that we can have an idea and start our own business without paying a bribe; that we can participate in the political process without fear of retribution; and that our votes will be counted -- or at least, most of the time.
Don’t let them censor us people. I want my MTV.

This year, in this election, we are called to reaffirm our values and our commitments, to hold them against a hard reality and see how we are measuring up, to the legacy of our forbearers and the promise of future generations. And fellow Americans, Democrats, Republicans, independents, I say to you, tonight, we have more work to do...
We got some decisions to make people…and now some campaign stories….

... more work to do, for the workers I met in Galesburg, Illinois, who are losing their union jobs at the Maytag plant that's moving to Mexico, and now they're having to compete with their own children for jobs that pay 7 bucks an hour; more to do for the father I met who was losing his job and chocking back the tears wondering how he would pay $4,500 a months for the drugs his son needs without the health benefits that he counted on; more to do for the young woman in East St. Louis, and thousands more like her who have the grades, have the drive, have the will, but doesn't have the money to go to college.
See I’m a man of the people.

Now, don't get me wrong, the people I meet in small towns and big cities and diners and office parks, they don't expect government to solves all of their problems. They know they have to work hard to get a head. And they want to. Go into the collar counties around Chicago, and people will tell you: They don't want their tax money wasted by a welfare agency or by the Pentagon.
See America I’ve got the same values you got.

Go into any inner-city neighborhood, and folks will tell you that government alone can't teach kids to learn.
Yep government isn’t gonna help parents be parents.

They know that parents have to teach, that children can't achieve unless we raise their expectations and turn off the television sets and eradicate the slander that says a black youth with a book is acting white. They know those things.
Being educated doesn’t mean you are acting white black people. Lord knows I got that shit growing up. But now look at me, heh IN YOUR FACE RASHED DICKENS. I'm not so funny now huh?

People don't expect government to solve all their problems. But they sense, deep in their bones, that with just a slight change in priorities, we can make sure that every child in America has a decent shot at life and that the doors of opportunity remain open to all. They know we can do better. And they want that choice.
America we need think about the kids…the fucking kids America!

In this election, we offer that choice. Our party has chosen a man to lead us who embodies the best this country has to offer. And that man is John Kerry.
Excuse me while I plug and peddle this guy Kerry.

John Kerry understands the ideals of community, faith and service because they've defined his life. From his heroic service to Vietnam to his years as prosecutor and lieutenant governor, through two decades in the United States Senate, he has devoted himself to this country. Again and again, we've seen him make tough choices when easier ones were available. His values and his record affirm what is best in us.
I wanna have like ten-thousand of his babies. He’s really a good guy America.

John Kerry believes in an America where hard work is rewarded. So instead of offering tax breaks to companies shipping jobs overseas, he offers them to companies creating jobs here at home.
He’s not GW Bush.

John Kerry believes in an America where all Americans can afford the same health coverage our politicians in Washington have for themselves.
He’s got a better health plan than Hillary Clinton’s

John Kerry believes in energy independence, so we aren't held hostage to the profits of oil companies or the sabotage of foreign oil fields.
Kerry wants America off the oil teat.

John Kerry believes in the constitutional freedoms that have made our country the envy of the world, and he will never sacrifice our basic liberties nor use faith as a wedge to divide us.
Did I mention he’s not GW Bush.

And John Kerry believes that in a dangerous world, war must be an option sometimes, but it should never be the first option.
Kerry will talk to the Arabs before bombing the shit out of them…and now more campaign stories.

You know, a while back, I met a young man named Seamus (ph) in a VFW hall in East Moline, Illinois. He was a good-looking kid, 6'2", 6'3", clear eyed, with an easy smile. He told me he'd joined the Marines and was heading to Iraq the following week.
Poor fucker didn’t know what he was getting into.

And as I listened to him explain why he had enlisted -- the absolute faith he had in our country and its leaders, his devotion to duty and service -- I thought, this young man was all that any of us might ever hope for in a child. But then I asked myself: Are we serving Seamus (ph) as well as he's serving us?
The guy couldn’t find work cause we are outsourcing so much that he figured he would kill for his country. America WE GOT A PROBLEM here.

I thought of the 900 men and women, sons and daughters, husbands and wives, friends and neighbors who won't be returning to their own hometowns. I thought of the families I had met who were struggling to get by without a loved one's full income or whose loved ones had returned with a limb missing or nerves shattered, but still lacked long-term health benefits because they were Reservists.
Can't you see America this war is TEARING US APART.

When we send our young men and women into harm's way, we have a solemn obligation not to fudge the numbers or shade the truth about why they are going, to care for their families while they're gone, to tend to the soldiers upon their return and to never, ever go to war without enough troops to win the war, secure the peace and earn the respect of the world.
Bush lied to us y’all.

Now, let me be clear. Let me be clear. We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued. And they must be defeated.
We need to kill Osama Bin Laden. Not now but RIGHT NOW.

John Kerry knows this. And just as Lieutenant Kerry did not hesitate to risk his life to protect the men who served with him in Vietnam, President Kerry will not hesitate one moment to use our military might to keep America safe and secure.
Did I mention Kerry killed for his country? He loves us that us much people.

John Kerry believes in America. And he knows that it's not enough for just some of us to prosper. For alongside our famous individualism, there's another ingredient in the American saga, a belief that we are all connected as one people.
He cares about the poor and he’s gonna throw some money their way.

If there's a child on the south side of Chicago who can't read, that matters to me, even if it's not my child. If there's a senior citizen somewhere who can't pay for their prescription and having to choose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer, even if it's not my grandparent.
Damnit America I CARE. Shouldn’t YOU?

If there's an Arab-American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties.
Arabs are people to America we gotta treat the ones that aren't trying to kill us nice.

It is that fundamental belief I am my brother's keeper, I am my sisters' keeper -- that makes this country work.
Ok now I’m going to break into my religious preacher bit for a minute. Please bear with me I’m new at this.

It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family: "E pluribus unum," out of many, one.
I’m building toward something people bear with me.

Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes.
Can you say FOX News?

Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America.
Look at me I’m living proof. Damn I hope this gets me some votes in November.

The pundits, the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States: red states for Republicans, blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states.
Liberals like God. Conservatives like their porn.

We coach little league in the blue states and, yes, we've got some gay friends in the red states.
…Some gay friends that are hiding in the closet

There are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq, and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq.
I know this cause Colin Powell told me so. You know we all know each other.


We are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America.
We all need to kick ass for America. Ryde or Die people.


In the end, that's what this election is about. Do we participate in a politics of cynicism, or do we participate in a politics of hope?
I really hope you people buy this…now back to plugging Kerry...


John Kerry calls on us to hope. John Edwards calls on us to hope. I'm not talking about blind optimism here, the almost willful ignorance that thinks unemployment will go away if we just don't think about it, or health care crisis will solve itself if we just ignore it. That's not what I'm talking. I'm talking about something more substantial. It's the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker's son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too.
Have I tugged on those heart strings America?


Hope in the face of difficulty, hope in the face of uncertainty, the audacity of hope: In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation, a belief in things not seen, a belief that there are better days ahead…Better days are ahead if you vote for this Kerry guy.

I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working families with a road to opportunity.
Can you say we're going to fuck the rich?

I believe we can provide jobs for the jobless, homes to the homeless, and reclaim young people in cities across America from violence and despair.
I hope you guys buy this cause my career depends on it.


I believe that we have a righteous wind at our backs, and that as we stand on the crossroads of history, we can make the right choices and meet the challenges that face us.
Who wrote that righteous wind line? I want them fired.


America, tonight, if you feel the same energy that I do, if you feel the same urgency that I do, if you feel the same passion that I do, if you feel the same hopefulness that I do, if we do what we must do, then I have no doubt that all across the country, from Florida to Oregon, from Washington to Maine, the people will rise up in November, and John Kerry will be sworn in as president. And John Edwards will be sworn in as vice president. And this country will reclaim its promise. And out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come.
Vote for Kerry America. Please.


Thank you very much, everybody.
I’m Barack Obama bitch good night


God bless you.
Thank you.

GOP gets more desperate

A couple of weeks ago the GOP in Illinois tried tapping Mike Ditka to run against Barack Obama, Ditka being the smart man he is decided that now was not the time for his entry into the world of politics. Well folks buckle up the GOP just asked Alan Keyes to be on the ticket.

For those of you who don't know who this nut is. Here are some links:
http://www.realchange.org/keyes.htm
http://www.mediatransparency.org/people/keyes.htm

He paid himself $100,000 out of campaign funds. Way to go Alan.
One of his biggest jobs was opposing sanctions on South Africa as one of many Assistant Secretaries of State under Reagan. So basically while working in South Africa he defended the apartheid regime. Did I mention he's black. Yeah this guy is what we want.

Here a couple of quotes:

"'Hitler and his supporters were Satanists and homosexuals. That's just a true statement.' He added, 'The notion that is involved in homosexuality, the unbridled sort of satisfaction of human passions' leads to 'totalitarianism,' 'Nazism,' and 'communism.'"

On GOP presidential frontrunner Sen. Bob Dole:
We talk about leadership. Will somebody explain to me how we can expect Bob Dole to stand up to Bill Clinton and the Democrats when hecan't even stand up to his own colleagues in the Senate to get our agenda through?

The GOP in Illnios are really grasping for straws if they are considering this guy.
