  • So Much Anonymity

    It's hard to address "someone" when either one very mentally person is posting as several people, or difference folks are hiding behind the same wastebasket. Anyway, to the moron posting behind said basket, the accusation that "all Obama voters are undergraduates or overmortgaged middle Americans is beyond stupid. My family, all three generations of voters, are all middle class but very highly educated, and we all support Obama. You know nothing. There was party just for you 150 or so years back. Maybe its resurgent, thanks to imbeciles like yourself. The demographics in the last several elections all put the lie to your wheelbarrow load of dung. Obama is gaining across the board, and across the country. Go back to Free Republic with the rest of the trailer park knuckledraggers who want nothing more than to run against Hillary. The funny thing is, she'd be McLame, too. And I'd help her. Get your chapstik handy. You've got a lot of ass kissing in front of you. love heywood

  • Anal and Drunk

    That was your least coherent post, analonymous, and that's going some. Obama is as even tempered a politician as I've seen. But I"ve only been observing politics since the Eisenhower years, so obviously your adolescent rant is much more convincing. Hillary has many fine qualities, primarily intellectual, but Earth Mother and born nurturer ain't one of 'em. She's embittered, calculating, triangulating, and short tempered. She stuck with Big Bill and His Big One so she could further herself politically. A real woman, a strong woman, would have thrown his underwear on the White House lawn and tell the bastard to sleep in Air Farce One. love heywood

  • Desperate Douchebag

    Hillary's camp is in full panic. She is not an original thinker. She's a wonk, and a good one. But to dust up about plagiarism from a friend and supporter is full on desperation. Bye, Hillary.

    Stock up on Midol; gonna be another night of zeros for your Bill, Hillary. That'll make ten in a row. Explain that away, Hillbot victims.

  • Pardon Me if I don't Salute

    As a Vietnam Navy veteran, RM3 in cryptographics, I can now understand your mindset, bohica. We enlisted men, who do the work, take the chances (and the casualties), often used part of leisure time- of which there wasn't a helluva lot- to mock LT and the rest of the puffed up officer cadre. I had a job at one time- not to give away national secrets, but this was 35 years ago, and I'm sure the technology has been superseded many times over- in which a certain secure circuit had to be reset every day within a fifteen minute window. This was ship to shore communication. If that period lapsed, the ship was to assume the station had been obliterated, and the vessel was to launch. Think nuclear sub here, with missiles to match. So, it was, to say the least, a task that required intense concentration. All the LTs ever did- because they didn't know a damned thing about it, except it was important- was to hover around making mindless critiques. Sounds like the MQ's for LT haven't changed. So, pardon me if this Vietnam vet doesn't salute your line of bilge, bohica. Anchors aweigh. love heywood

  • Addendum, bohica

    I read my own post and disagreed with part of its slant. All junior grade officers were not jerks. A couple were sane, and treated their men (almost all of us were then, back in the draft days). And those LTs and JGs that served on patrol boats in Nam had some of the highest casualty rates of the war. Props to them, and their brothers. I don't want to make the mistake of tarring an entire strata with the same brush. But my overall point was, and is, that enlisted men (and women) work while the junior officers nit pick about shoe shines and haircuts. Anchors aweigh. RM3 Tom

  • See Ya, Hillary

    All that plagiarism trivia and "all talk, no solutions" manure didn't sell in Wisconsin, either. They know what cow flop smells like; it's a diary state. Explain this one away, Hillbots. You got nothin'. She's finished.

  • Hillary Loses Big- Again

    Nit pick all you want, Hillbots. Your queen-elect has been unelected for the tenth straight time. It's all those darkies in Wisconsin, right, Bill? She has no message; she has no electricity. Her time is over. Accept it, whiners, bitchers, and moaners. Ooh, it's so unfair, so sexist, all those blacks and latte sippers ganging up on poor widdle Hillary. Boo fookin' hoo. Bend over, here comes Hawaii. love heywood

    Nice of Hillary to thank the folks in Wisconsin that did vote for her- 43 or 44 percent is a lot of folks to snub. but she's a poor loser; you'd think she'd improve. She's had enough practice of late. I would think her concession speech would be poetic by now. Oh, that's right. She thinks poetry and hope and vision are naive. In 1776, she would have been a British sympathizer. A wonk is one thing, a weenie another.
