before you get your knickers all tight up in knots again (i love this expression) leave it to the big B -
You finally have to learn from him!
Remember when he told you it's hope and not experience and when he told you it's not going to be your friend Hillary and when you gals and guys all got your knickers in these knots about the lady with the weird hairdo from Alaska you all ran around like chicken with the head cut off - but the B boy stayed cool - he stayed so cool that all you old funny pundit folks will have to write these glowing reviews about the whole new way of "fighting back" with the cool head of the big B.
the big B will be President in November !
and Joan wouldn't you like to be 'right' ones in a while - just think about it - how great that would feel - if you would have predicted that the big B had done it all by staying cool while the whole rest of America was struggling with their knickers!
- do I always have to be the only voice of hope and joy on these depressing threads -
First i had to tell poor Joan not to get her knickers in a knot again and now iseem to be the only one who is willing to help 'but why'.
He writes in his sad confession. that he is an "escapee" of a highly authoritarian family and it's clear to him that progressives instinctively avoid authoritarians, or will try to deal with them in a fair, rational way - and from his personal experience, thinks that treating authoritarians like adults with a grown-up conscience is a big, big mistake and you will
lose, lose, lose - every time.
No!!
Head up dudette or dude!!
This is not the Real World where abused children become abusing parents - this is entertainment, where the hot and cool dudetts or dudes always win, win, win!
And that's why the big B will win and when he is President you suddenly will read all these comments from all these commenters who always knew it from the beginning how important it is not to fight back in an ugly way - and you really can trust me because until now i have predicted every single 'outcome' of this election far in advance - from the defeat of Hillary to the fading fame of the lady with the weird hairdo from Alaska - and to all of you gals and guys - on this other thread (of Joan) a writer suggested it might be all about revenge or some kind of vendetta gainst the big bad idiots but i can not afford that - I converted 9 stone hard conservatives to vote for Obama and they are now my friends -
I don't have the luxury to call them 'Repugs' or 'Fascist' - or whatever you like to call them dayin dayout - They would jump ship - and we don/t want that do we?
And to "But why' - if i couldn't help you perhaps you should seek professional help - and by the way Glenn - do you wear "knickers"?
it is generational but if there is some truth in the theory that actually everybody sticks to the same age all his life the problem might be that Joan was just born being sixty.
- if Glenn wears 'knickers'?
the knicker question is off topic - because as you might have suspected the knickers are just a
symbol - some kind of a 'Parabel' for something much more profound and more important- like an intellectual condition - the ability to connect certain aspects who at first sight seem not to be related to each other - like Palins contempt for the rule of law and the consequences of her ignoring subpoenas and the possibilities to bitch about it - and to fill a whole thread again with the criminal ways of these people we love to hate so much.
i missed you very very much - if now only Timberman and LWM would come back i would be
a happy girl again.
nobody wants to destroy the lady with the funny hairdo - Right? - gals and guys we actually love her - without her it would be so much harder for Obama - Right? - and thats what you can tell her if you meet her - and please tell her also not to change her hairdo!
how could you be so cruel - we need the lady with the funny hairdo - because one of my best friends made a bet that the big B is going to winn in double digits!
McCain doesn't have to get rid of the lady with the funny hairdo before the election.
i read the word 'cake' - Are you talking to me?
i am between 18-29 and he is up with me and if you are older you should not believe in polls anymore its a little bit like Santa Clause or the Easter bunny real grown ups don/t believe in them!
