You are amusing. I am a democrat from Seattle, very liberal, more liberal than the Clinton's have ever been. I supported and campaigned for Jerry Brown in 1992 if that tells you anything about me. The Clinton's as a couple are quite a political team to be in awe of for sure, but worship, believe they are saints... you are hilarious. I lost much personal respect for Bill Clinton during the Lewinsky scandal, but that is all personal stuff, that aside, he was an excellent president in many's ways and mediocre in others, a failure in others. Bill Clinton however, was quite electrifying and brought the democrats back from a kind of presidential abyss.
One thing the Clinton's never did, to their credit, is they never exploited their daughter for political gain. Chelsea turned out to be one hell of a woman too, accomplished, smart, finished college, not pregnant at 17, you know Chelsea Clinton is the type of child everyone would love to have. That in itself says good things about both of the Clinton's.
You wingers always bring Sarah Palin into any discussion of women as though she somehow represents women. Hilarious. She has exploited her children, used them to gain political points, she continues to use them, as we see poor Bristol out there with her baby PROMOTING ABSTINENCE.... Oh the irony....
Rush Limbaugh is vile, there are many examples of his vile speech, in fact they are all digitized, we can listen to his vile speech anytime, for a fee. I wasn't surprised by what he said because of the vile things he has said in the past, and I stand by my words.
And you winger always bring a woman's looks into any discussion as if to invalidate their humaness. That isn't surprising either. It is surprising when a grown man drags a young teenage girl into any discussion and saying anything about her looks. It is more than vile. You can't justify it, stop trying.
Nothing you say ever helps, Glen. Look you mentioned La Raza, you mentioned Ricci and you mentioned Maloney, but the problem is Glen, Judge Sotomayor is more than those three hot button issues isn't she. Just admit you all are opposing her because that is what Republicans do now, they oppose everything. The oppose health care, they oppose women, they oppose Latinos, they oppose everything and everyone. I for one and glad though because your party is marginalized, 90% white male. Good luck with that though.
Demographic suicide is an excellent description.
Socialism, hmm, Alaska one of the biggest recipients of federal dollars of all 50 states. I think for every dollar Alaska pays in federal taxes she gets 1.87 back. Just behind New Mexico. It is one of the top three recipients of federal tax dollars. The top three are as follows: New Mexico receives $2.00 for each dollar they pay in federal taxes, then Alaska, $1.87 and West Virginia coming in at $1.83. So far Alaska doesn't seem ruined by socialism.
That aside, I hope Sarah keeps up her wisdom tour. It will certainly help democrats in 2010 and 2012.
I hope she isn't friends with that socialist Charlie Crist! Hahahahahaha.. I mean according the Club for Growth, Charlie Crist is one big socialist!
Go get her Joan.
That was kind of crazy and Cambell Brown seemingly has no sense of time! I don't know though Liz is kind of a crazy woman. Nice job though it seemed like two against one though did it make you feel that way.
I knew when it came back to common ground Liz would say she could find no common ground. It exemplifies the Cheney way. To her if Ahmadinejad isn't reelected it doesn't change Iran, even though in a great sense it changes Iran completely, because they are not represented to the world by a crazy, power hungry dude! Even in Iran, Ahmadinejad's opponents are portraying him as crazy.(ok he portrays himself as crazy, but his opponents are using the video of his craziness against him)(ha, the power of video) It would be an interesting change, a big change, it would indicate the young people in Iran are looking for something different. I have friends in Lebanon, and you can't tell them change isn't taking place where they live. Young people again rule the day in Lebanon.
That aside, Liz and her father can't shock me anymore, they have a world view, and facts cannot get in the way of that world view, if facts were allowed to get in the way, we never would have gone to war in Iraq.
There is a greater question here though, what the hell is Liz Cheney doing, there is some other motive here and what is it? She is out defending her father, making assertions that are patently false (as seen in the video) yet she continues on her Wisdom Tour... what is her real motive? That is what I would like to know.
Anyway for all those folks who keep saying you did a lousy job, I don't think so. It was two against one during that "debate". I thought Campbell would do a better job than she did, I though she might be a good arbiter, but she was awful, the worst, no wonder her show sucks.
