@ Bustin Urbals - in your comment "Center Right" (p. 2 starting from oldest) -
"prophase" ?? I was with you until that word. ??
Don Vereen is giving me chest pains.
I'm going to write Bush and thank him for having drawn the line at going after individual patients.
He may have been the worst President in history but he was a better man than Don Vereen.
Previous words of wisdom from Gala1:
“The only possible way a GOP candidate could win this election would be to run against a completely unelectable Democratic candidate after eliminating any viable contenders. And, such a Rovian coincidence. That is just what has happened.”
“Having lived on both sides of the Flyover, having gone from the most liberal of cities to a place where thousand-plus crowds mean Sunday morning, the one thing I can tell you with absolute certainty is that Obama is not giving to win this.”
“We both know that's just not going to happen. It could have had, had he given them a term to see what he was capable of as Vice President but he is the one who literally has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. And your bad judgement is the reason he did.”
McCain will win this, Obamabot bloggers notwithstanding, because out on Main Street Obama is already rejected as just an update of more of nothing there.
“You picked a loser because [Obama] is not going to get a majority vote. If you need to find that out, in November you most definitely will.”
“Obama is going to lose in such numbers that all he will represent after the election is how the Democratic Party failed to listen to its constituents.”
“As a matter of fact this is precisely why we will have McCain for the next four years.”
You foisted Obama onto the ticket, but you can't get any of us to vote for him, can you? Bye Bye Bama.
“But if you think Obama is going to win this, you probably thought Kerry would too. And if you expect the people who rejected Gore, Dean and Kerry you really are in denial if you think that they'll accept Obama instead.”
And, finally,
“It will be SUCH a pleasure to give you just the laugh you deserve on Election Day.”
Oh yeah, right, he's betraying our hopes --
Perhaps us Dems would be happier had another doofus like Mike Dukakis, AlGore, or John Kerry been our candidate.
The fact that he actually gives a flying fuck about people (something no one ever accused Monkey Boy of doing) is what the change is all about.
I think Tom Tomorrow said it best in a strip, with a liberal fellow saying something like "I don't know -- he's not living up to all the imaginary conversations I had with him in my head."
I was rather surprised in 1992 when the press started criticizing Clinton as "all talk" and "hasn't done anything" WHILE he was walking back from the inauguration to the White House and I was thinking "Jeezus -- he hasn't even unpacked his bags yet."
But this is living proof that us democrats can ALSO be petty idiotic assholes just as well as Repugnicans.
Want further disappointment Obamanots ? Ponder the fact that while he predictably gravitates to the political center, he does not at all consider himself to be African American. Just look at his last quoted line about his racial composition/identity- alluded to in caption. Obama's being an African-American was a contrivance of the media, the far left and of most African Americans themselves, all of whom used every minute they could to refer to him as such. He always knew that he was bi-racial and had more influenced developmental life experience with white people than with actual African-Americans - those with roots to slavery. He knows that his wife and children are African-Americans but he skillfully played that card for himself for all it was worth in the Democratic Primary before all but abandoning it in the General Election. He is indeed a brilliant Chicago politician and I believe he will do a great job as President, but he will never be the "Progressive" many had hoped for.
I too am dissapointed in Obama. I mean, he hasn't even brought peace to the Middle East yet! I expected him to pass national health care before he took office but we still don't have it! And worst of all, he can't walk on water like I expected! (I feel the need to state that this post was written to be sarcastic since many of you have made postings just as ridiculous but you seemed to be serious)
for the comment. Left wingers still don't understand why the Universe at large doesn't fall on its knees and worship their holy wisdom. Meanwhile, they know jack about how the mixed economy works, or even how to speak respectfully to anyone besides the annointed few. It's pathetic.
It appears a deal was made in the past that president Clinton and his staff will operate President Elect Obama.
Change is changing the meaning and perception of the word CHANGE.
I would have voted for John McCain, If I had any doubt that President elect will select senator Clinton for the State Department.
Those who are complaining but about Obama's coices obviously did not read is Blueprint for Change. Change does not mean you hire inexperienced, incompetent people. The people who worked in the Clinton administration worked in lower positions. Naturally they would work their way up. YOU cannot make changes in DC with out connections. One of Carter's biggest mistakes was not bring experienced DC people into his White House circle. Obama has plenty of new young blood.
Obama is not the raving liberal that some thought he was. That is why he got so many votes and raised so much money. He is brilliant, and pragmatic. Just what we need in these troubled times.
We cannot just pull out of Iraq right away and he never promised that Obam promised a gradual pull out over 16 months. I think keeping Gates on for at least 6 months may be a good idea.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
