Some of us tried to tell you Barack Dukakis fans that your candidate was a loser. We were right then and we're right now. Barack Dukakis is going to lose the election to John McCain and Sarah Palin.
The GOP didn't even have to mount much of a campaign to put away this weak, unqualified empty suit.
We told you so. Barack Dukakis is finished. He was finished before you idiots nominated him.
But... the nuts were going to shove this shipwreck on the ticket, no stopping them, damned the torpedos. Nothing would stop them and anything went: Race-baiting, all the GOP's debunked slime from the 90s
Every one of them showed who they were with that garbage. Now they're left with a loser candidate and no dignity. Their insane, willful blindness back when Barack Dukakis was losing the big important Democratic swing states was truly bizarre. Any Democrat who voted for Obama over Clinton is an imbecile of staggering gullibility. Sucks to be a Barack Dukakis fool.
The D party and D nomination were a playtoy for the empty suit Barack Dukakis.
Barack was the stupid left's playtoy because they thought he made them cool. Now they're all in their playpen playing with their playtoys looking like the fools they are while a Republican wraps up the election in a walk that everyone but the dumbest predicted.
Mi
Salon, do you have a policy about controlling vandals who hijack threads by pasting endless talking points from some other website?
Don't cry just because your loser candidate Barack Dukakis never stood a chance and we told you so.
For Godsake grow up and blame yourself for picking an unelectable emptysuit with the thinnest resume of the lot(bar none) and with more baggage than an airport terminal, cheeseball.
Yeah whatever happened to personal responsibility?
Any Barack Dukakis fans want to let us in on why you voted for that emptysuit? Hootowl speculates you love to lose or you're bucktoothed morons and I would have to agree. There's no other reason.
Are you doing anything to get Democrats out to vote in November?
Anything?
Are you doing anything to help end the neo con nightmare that have almost destroyed our nation?
No, I usually help Democrats but won't be an accessory to installing an unqualified empty suit into the White House. I love my country. I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary because she was the qualified Democrat. McCain is qualified. Obama is a joke.
Saw "Body of Lies" tonight and it's far from intricate. Pretty standard, simple stuff here. Not hard to follow at all, so if you're inclined to see a movie like this, don't let that claim turn you off. A solid three-out-of-four-star movie.
Every time I've seen "Capt. Sully" on TV he's been humble and polite and professional.
"Every time I've seen Capt. Sully on TV....." LOL
Why isn't every school bus driver who averted a deer crossing the street invited to appear on every show on TV? The Sully worship has to do with fear, ignorance and superstition surrounding a machine no one has much experience operating, unlike a car. Nothing more.
Early beta testers are reporting that Windows 7 is better than any previous version of Windows AND better than any Mac OS to date.
I have it on two machines and it brought me back from the brink, having purchased a Mac and vowed to never go PC again. The thing WORKS and so far I see no real advantage in my Mac system.
If 7 stands the test of time, there will be a stampede back to PC's and the Vista nightmare will be forgotten.
So? What are we supposed to take from this except the image of some wrinkled old semi-erect septuagenarian drooling at his typewriter?
No, don't leave him. Stay with him, marry him, have children with him, clean up his vomit, and spend your kids' college savings on the settlement when he gets drunk and kills someone while driving.
That's the kind of stupid answer befitting such a stupid question.
Everybody seems to understand that these women are benefiting from Old Man Reuben's money, and that it's the reason they endure his company.
Later, they laugh with their girlfriends at lunch (he foots the bill). They laugh about his shriveled dick and ridiculous facial expressions during the 1.5 minutes of sex that occurs before he "completes," which means loses the limpish hard-on he started with.
It's as much a story of a stinky old man's sexual fantasies as his lazy female counterparts' fantasies about easy money.
Neither party is ashamed of what they're doing to get the pleasure and fun they want, be it in the form of sex or fast cash.
He'll die and the women will continue their quest for easy money by using lonely old men for money and banging the younger, virile ones for sex. It's a fair transaction so why does anyone care?
Try to see it from Aubrey's point of view all you "compassionate" moralizers. He's 76, near death, taking stock of his life, and he really only has two choices at this point.
The first choice is acknowledgment and regret that he's a horny, shriveled, used up dirty-old-man slut whose life had no real meaning. Grown-up society regards him as a joke, just as have the women who used him. His legacy is summed up in a cliche, "Dirty Old Man."
His only other choice is to try to reframe and embellish his horny used up sluttiness as living life to the fullest and being attractive, interesting, or lovable to appealing (notice he tries to convince us they're smart and not just damaged) women independent from giving them money. He can write those delusions down and send it to online magazines to try to make them seem more convincing to himself so he can die believing his life represented something of at least some kind of value.
Incidentally, some mighty attractive younger women dig older men. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Some 25-year-old women like 40-year-old men.
No woman under 50 finds men over 70 attractive. Unlikely a woman of any age does for that matter. Money of all ages is attractive to women of all ages, though.
