GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

The letters thread is now closed.

AKASmith is merely giving you the lay of the land...her land as it were.

No Man's Land?

Let us just say that Smith has a penchant for seeing sexism perhaps where it is at times not most uppermost in obviousness to others.

And yeah, if she doesn't have some sharp, deep seated, and rather resentful issues with men, I'm completely prepared to swallow the entire bottle of India ink sitting on my desk in front of me.

Anyway, engage her in rational discussion (if you can get her to that stage) and she can be remarkably insightful at times, at others, she seems to sup on the bitter dregs of resent, and often offers not much more than imperious postures that can vacilate from haughty to hateful.

Her ignore list goes through revisions from time to time,

Depending on how vigorously or not you agree with her viewpoint.

Essentially she's like the stones at Stonehenge, there's no getting around her, and if your intention is to move her or make her budge, you'd better think again.

Well, there's your primer, so try not to be a pest, and give things your best.

Klytus

Am I? I am not painting with a broad brush any particular group or identity. The so-called independents from the so-called experts are those individuals who are disenchanted with either of the two parties and if by that definition I am out of touch with contemporary definition then go ahead and dispute that.

However, I am basing my arguments on the fact as presented widely in the media that while the parties are evenly matched, it is the independents who have been deciding the presidential elections and have given Bush his two terms. I did not make this up. I do not give a flip if you are independent or follow where the wind blows, I am not taking this nonsense of people who claim not to belong to a party decide to thrash someone in our party who aggressively went for our party's nomination with a substantial amount of following. The winner of our party's nomination Obama recognizes this wanted our party to unite and bring us all together.

The so-called independents like you decide that it is not enough and continue this crap of continuously litigating the primary with this daily dose of anti-Hillary nonsense leaving the one Obama is fighting for the Presidency, McCain. I have seen this movie before, and I am not watching it again. Obama has chosen Biden and not Hillary, let it go if you really support Obama point your attack to McCain, Hillary is not the enemy unless, it is another cycle and...

"I've voted for a variety of candidates in my lifetime, however what letter they had next to their name wasn't the reason I voted for them and partisan hackery is what has gotten us in the mess we're in today.

Continuously litigating the primary on why she lost and how awful and untrustworthy (as if any politician is)she is, in my opinion is counterproductive to the party and I am not going to allow a self-described independent to do that.

Oh it won't be little old me on a message board who is going to "tear apart" the Democratic Party. You need to look no further than the militant Clinton supporters who are threatening to sit out this election or vote for McCain. Some of them are here posting on this very forum yet I'm the bad guy?"

Partisan hackery? You hypocrite. You continuously harp on someone who is not running and how awful she is, regurgitating Republican playbook of abject hatred against her since she and her husband came to Washington and piously declaring that partisan hackery is what has gotten us in the mess today.

@saman65

I've never kicked back a few with Bush, voted for Bush, or even drunk a can of Bush beer, or bought any beer beverages from Anheuser Bush Inc., so I don't know where you're going with your political analysis (it might be going up into the ether for all I know) but I don't think you've made any connections that are concrete much less credible.

But hey, if you feel you've sussed something significant out - great, go with it.

I have my eyes only on what is before me at the moment, the Obama-Biden ticket, and its success, the rest is really kind of retro-perspected and superfluous to anything I am particulary concerned about or interested in.

What.... Hillary's Big "Party" ?? ....

Don't worry about Klytus.... he's always against.... he wants to hear himself no matter whether it makes sense or not. I don't know who or what he is, but like I said..... it does not matter....

What does matter is what you guys are debating about, which is not about Hillary's Big Party but about party UNITY

Hillary, Bill, a lot of us and I.... do not care one bit about Party UNITY.

Party Unity does not save the country, our US of A....

All we care about is "Who is the BEST IN THE LAND to get us [America] out of the mess the Bushes created in less than 4 years and continue to do so for their maximum of 8....." I, me !!, I cannot do it, you cannot do it, so who can?? McCain?, Obama?, Biden?, Hillary [Bill]?, Howard Dean ?? Just tell me.... honestly... I'd like to know.... !!

I'm not interested in people's personal lives.... that's not my interest but will throw me off course.

I'm interested in achievements.... simple and pure achievements so I can pick and chose from the menu.... I'm for grapes and sour mash corn.... and a good wine to flush it all down....

a) applicable college degrees (not seniority credits or number of years on the job !! [In America that means if you are a "nice" guy.... you may stay.... In Europe it means how many guys have you been able to replace and take their jobs away from them without costing the company one penny in assets.... but saving them....]

b) how many times did you get promoted [for achievements], from kindergarten onwards without kissing teach's ass.... or had an "unscheduled quick fuck" after school hours....

c) can you THINK on your own or do you need help ??

d) listen, this is no Sunday school for l'll girls and boys in "uniform"

e) this is "WORK" and if you can't handle the load, don't even bother to apply.... Who needs you DUMKOPFF....go back to Bavaria and tend to your goats....

Who I need [right now] is the Clinton Team.... as by my own observations and experience they have all the ingredients: not only a proven record but the assistance of the brains on both sides of the isle.

Don't contradict me on this because you are not using your noodles....

What I NEED is a trial lawyer who can argue his way out of a situation, not a Preacher with a undergraduate in Corporate Law.... Not somebody who is not able to handle his/her own financial mess but someone who can listen to the country's best economists on how to fix things.... Obama certainly can NOT !!

I don't care about Klytus or his likes... I flush them down their own toilet. Whether you call yourselves left or right or "librals" or PUMA's.... I am a Jaguar, the big cat was clearly painted on the rudder of my MK X's to XV.... Messerschmids and Focke Wulffs knew exactly who was the jockey of that kite, The "Sidewinder", and we saluted.... when one of us went KABOOM on Earth's solid rock !!.... Herrman Goering's boys were [in English] "Gentlemen".... But that "war" is over..... We now hava a WAR about restoring the US economy.... OUR economy... ! not international relations, not democracy in far off foreign - most Arab land [meaning they have to get acquainted with re-born Christians - who are they ??], and not oyle, because we have plenty of it ourselves.... I give a shit about reborn Christians because all their praying to their God hasn't helped us but got us deeper in the gutter. I am a total non-believer [which you all know] and it's equal Simon to me whether you're Jesuz, God or Satan..... Just help me get this country back on it's feet. I am sick of a bunch of self-interest nincompoops filling their own coffers which is [hey] alright with me, but hey, Bud.... don't fleece me ... I don't need YOU !! ...... Donah////

P/S:- If you don't like the sermon.... stay away.... you are not invited !! Go back to where you came from and don't screw this country up.....
