if baracka obama were truly mature enough,
he would be waging a real honest campaign.

he would not need to let lying lips in the media and otherwise run away with false charges of racism against the clintons, or geraldine ferraro, or anyone else.

if baracka obama were truly mature enough ... he would be looking for ways to talk about the issues. not the race-baiting, not the emotional hype presented daily by the press and others.

if baracka obam were truly mature enough, he would not be running to hide behind the lips, skirts and shirts of others and letting others do the talking for him.


if baracka obama were truly mature enough he would not allow himself to coast on the surf of emotional hype and false accusations against those whom he opposes.

truth would be his standard bearer ... not the pack of untruths running wild in the press and in people's minds.

if only maturity were the name of the game.

5. Using capital letters is a sign of maturity.
You might want to try it.

while i don't think the original poster is as talented as ee cummings (or you, despite our obvious disagreement), your pointed rejoinder gives me pause

7. Yeah Clinton is running a real honest campaign
She's doing a top notch job of destroying the Democratic party. Nothing like this has happened in 2 party politics since 1912 and Teddy Roosevelt.

If only maturity were the name of the game

10. ...He'd probably be able to understand the concept of capital letters,
if he were only mature enough.

11. WTF!! Saying Obama has no bussiness in the race other than to be black is
pretty fucking rascist. I can't believe there are people who don't see it, wait, i do believe it, they would find any reason to dislike Barak because they have a problem, They have the problem.

Obama will win the White House because there are more people who are not rascist than are.

16. You obviously have not seen the other posts of flordehinojos
This is par for the course. Spewing hate-filled garbage is his/her stock-in-trade.

Don't worry, the next one will be worse.

14. another delusional post blaming Obama
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 06:14 PM by bowens43
for the slimy tactics of hillary and her supporters.

You try to defend and minimize blatant racial attacks by members of hillary's campaign.
Hillary has taken this thing into the sewer as we all knew she would, apparently her supporters are quite comfortable there too.

Grow up.

21. If you were truly mature
you wouldn't write such a truly stupid and false post. Or maybe if you were just a wee bit smarter. Hard to say.

One thing is clear: He's certainly run a more mature campaign than Hillary Clinton with her embarassing outbursts and lies.

23. it's not about maturity. he's very smart and it's a very intelligent thing to do...
Edited on Thu Mar-13-08 08:40 PM by annie1
playing the race card is a very slick move, his "embrace the change" tour was a smart thing to do. 'Following the hillary model' when he first got into the senate was a smart thing to do. using the hope/change/uniter platform was a smart thing to do. he's doing it to win an election, it's not about maturity.

25. i would say the same for hillary's side of the fence
it would be nice to see some real debate for a change instead of the hysteria we've become accustomed to.

28. Ferraro's comments were racist. I think we can all agree on that.
I don't think that Ferraro HERSELF is a racist. That would be stupid. But making comments like that is truly reprehensible.
