Listen to some of my fellow Democrats here and don't engage in sleaze! Leave that to the GOP! You know -- THE ONES THAT IMPEACHED CLINTON. I swear the old saw is true: liberals won't take their own side in a fight. Also, be ready for Chris Closet-Case Matthews to bare his nails defending his big strong Daddy Figure ... well, the one you'll be discussing. He has so many.
What you said.
Hillary is a certain loser, and I pray my party's early-stste primary voters realize it. Wrong gender, wrong country. And the base doesn't like her either. I hope to hell the poll numbers right now are wring, or we're looking at 4-8 more years of some ass clown like Rudy! or Fred! starting more wars and makimng more millionaires richer. WAKE UP ... STOP HER NOW!!!
But this slow-motion nightmare of us nominating HRC is terrifying me.
Please, Joan, retire that bullshit phrase; it was completely devalued in 2000 when tongue-cluckers said Gore wasn't, despite watching Bush stammer, blink and bable through the debates.
If that was a reference to me, I live in a rowhouse in Upper Darby, Pa. All Democrats aren't from SF, if that was indeed your "point."
I don't deny it; I agree. But there's embarrassment, and then there's destroying the country's moral standing around the world, killing tens of thousands of people and spending $500 MILLION A DAY doing it. But as long as HH can make a cheap blow-job joke, hey, no harm done, right? Those wacky Presidents are all the aame ...
I haven't even read the article and I'm excited, on account of cuz the letters are always so good. I'm sure there's all sorts of 'Democrats have vaginas' stuff in there ... I'm ready to plunge in!
And if Michael Vick was white, heck, the Westminster Kennel Club would be honoring him for raising awareness of a breed. For God's sake ... you HAVE heard of Mark "Banished to Invisibility" McGwire, right? Bonds is an asshole; you are a Giants fan; you don't care. He is also a huge-headed steroid freak and his "record" is a sad joke. Black? Yeah. So freaking what?
Hillary is a certain loser, Tim. I hope not, but wrong gender, wrong country. Edwards-Clark, Edwards-Webb wins 40 states.
" ... It was love at first sight, at least from the nerdy Rove's point of view. 'Huge amounts of charisma, swagger, cowboy boots, flight jacket, wonderful smile, just charisma -- you know, wow,' he said later." These Republicans and their media worshippers like Sexually Ambiguous Matthews are ALL THE SAME ... closet-cases, authoritarian cultists, creeps of all kinds. Where is the factory that cranks them out, year after year?
Check the 2006 results, doof. And the polls.
When he told us Bush was a "compassionate conservative." I'm just some guy in Pennsylvania and I knew anyone coming out of the Texas GOP in 2000 was either a religious loon or a giant fake, and in this case, Bush was both. But of course, it was AL GORE who would 'lick the floor' to be President, as Man-Love Matthews once said. These two sociopaths Rove and Bush have no reflection in a mirror, and the national press fondled their groins. Thanks again, by the way. You and Nader gave us this tragic mess of the last seven years.
Demonstrated by whom? Are you telling me that of 100,000 Naderite jackasses who voted for that egomaniac in Florida, ONE THOUSAND OF THEM -- one out of every hundred -- wouldn't have voted for Gore and made the difference? Please. That's utter nonsense and you know it. That prick should roast for what he did.
To the GOP. Come on, Joan. You don't have to be a 'conspiracy theorist' to know this country will not elect a woman in 2008. Yet we blithely sail on toward the cliff. And the day after the election, Hillary voters will wonder why. SHE'S A WOMAN, AND THIS IS AMERICA ... THAT'S WHY. And say hello to President Rudy.
I gave you a hard time about Nader in the other story ... but this time I was thinking the same thing as you. Obviously Elvis was a huge eater early on, and stayed skinny, but it all caught up to him on the inside ...
And when we nominate Hillary for her certain loss 40-state loss, this is what we'll get. WAKE UP DEMOCRATS WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME ...
Of course that was before "The Day That Changed Everything," patent pending.
Cheney reiterated his position again in August of 2000 on Meet the Press as Bush's VP nominee:
CHENEY: I don't, Tim. It was–and it's been talked about since then. But the fact of the matter is, the only way you could have done that would be to go to Baghdad and occupy Iraq. If we'd done that, the U.S. would have been all alone. We would not have had the support of the coalition, especially of the Arab nations that fought alongside us in Kuwait. None of them ever set foot inside Iraq. Conversations I had with leaders in the region afterwards -- they all supported the decision that was made not to go to Baghdad.
They were concerned that we not get into a position where we shifted instead of being the leader of an international coalition to roll back Iraqi aggression to one in which we were an imperialist power, willy-nilly moving into capitals in that part of the world taking down governments. So I think we got it right, so suppose it's one of those things that'll be debated for some time. But I thought the decision was sound at the time, and I do today. [Meet the Press, 8/27/00]
Reiterated in August 2000.
"If you liked Bush, you'll love Rudy" (or whatever hairball the GOP coughs up. Gotta tie these ass clowns to their king.
