Hillary is just using Double Speak to make her negatives into a fake positive! She’s so readable. Most neocons are. They think we can’t figure them out, but really, we’ve got our hands on their foreheads as they’re swinging at us. Pathetic. ;-)</p> <p>Okay, going to bed.

I knew it. She’s implying it again: “Kentucky is the state all presidents win!” or something like that.

D.E.L.U.S.I.O.N.A.L.

What bunkum. In 1904 Kentucky voted for Parker over Teddy Roosevelt (Parker was the only non-progressive candidate that election). In 1908 they voted for Wm. Jennings “Cross of Gold” Bryan over Taft. In 1920 the voted for Cox over Harding.

Fortunately they voted for Frankilin Roosevelt…as did almost everyone else.

In 1952 they opted to vote for Adlai Stevenson over Ike., and in 1960 they voted for Nixon over Kennedy. They continued to support Nixon again in 1968 and 1972, though.

And since then they’ve been pretty correct in the Presidentials…consistently voting for the winners in the Presidential elections…which means that over two thirds of the time whoever was supported by the Democrats in Kentucky lost in the General election.

First time I think I’ve seen her give a speech to a totally white audience. Usually they can find someone “different” to sit behind her and look happy, but tonight they really did all look alike.</p> Yeah, I noticed that.
