2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

MW, what was won by the triangulation? Your list of accomplishments is pretty tenuous and small for 8 years in the WH.

I think what some people (including myself) are saying is that if we are happy with toned-down Repubs for Democrats as the "left" party, then that's exactly what we'll get.

quite the opposite, actually

right, ok. misread "SHOCKED" as if you thought Bush meant to do that or something

jon, i remember reading way back that the clinton white house relaxed the dress code aggressively, which would have made the clinton administration one of the leading examples of 90s business casual, that fashion crime against humanity

This was truly awful – jeans with long shirts and ties! The only good thing to emerge from the Bush years is the realization that presidents should go to bed early and take long vacations, not hang out eating pizza with the staff.

God Alfred I mean that's a cute stance to take at all but you don't actually give one tiny political shit about it, do you? I mean honestly?

John, I'm entitled to a few yuks after speaking my peace; but I AM serious about the jeans and ties.

I'm the kind of executive who likes some distance between myself and my employees, but not for the bullshit Reagan-Dubya reasons for always dressing up in the Oval Office, i.e. "I don't want to disgrace the office of Jefferson and Lincoln."

so you're a snob, but you have principles.

getting warmer...

I'm amazed that Dubya can have a boner with those jeans.

Is that a long gray tail behind him?

Jefferson was a very shabby dresser.

Is this real?

I am not happy about it but I also understand that since at least Reagan traditional liberalism is not the majority political viewpoint of most of the American electorate and sometimes I'd rather have one of 'our' guys/gals in the White House (an office rarely occupied by the 'pure' of either party and even less often by effective ones - it's a role for vetoes as much as for as for signings) doing less harm than let the Repubs do more.

ysi?

I figured this Bosnia lie would hurt HRC badly; now I'm hopeful it will help speed this Democratic race to a conclusion. If it does, she has only herself to blame.

Obama: Muslim Manchurian Candidate

Is Obama Osama Barack not really a Manchurian candidate but a classic Mohammedan Candidate?

As one CFP wag mused: "What happens when "our" President goes on a pilgrimage to Mecca after he discovers his roots?"

that would be... awesome?

he would assassinate....someone?

i want to change my ilx name to "one CFP wag"

or "obama osama barack"

it cracks me up that McCain repeating certain lines counts as his going off-script

dude you know he really means it when he says it twice

McLeod and Hawkins allege that the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States may have been a Mafia plot and not the work of al-Qaeda terrorists. [5]

In August 2005, immediately after the crash of Air France Flight 358 at Toronto's Lester B. Pearson International Airport, McLeod published an article alleging that the crash was the result of a bomb. [6] A subsequent investigation showed that the crash was the result of poor weather conditions and pilot error.

Christopher and Silvio were actually flying the planes.

THIS IS AN INTERESTING THEORY THAT DESERVES FURTHER CONSIDERATION.

WE CAN STICK POISON IN HIS BEARD AND LET IT FALL OUT! HE'LL LOOK FUCKIN RIDICULOUS WITHOUT HIS BEARD!

Looks like Joe Pesci in JFK.

where is Gear thread?

god, I love that thread.

A Thread about the film JFK

This is bullshit, right? http://www.slate.com/id/2175496/

I mean, no fucking way Democrats are this stupid. Really? McCain over the guy/gal who shares 99% of the same platforms as your own choice? Is this like being a Philly fan at the Superbowl - you'll root for the Patriots because the Giants are in your own division?

(In case you don't want to link-follow: "Twenty-eight percent of current Hillary Clinton supporters say they would vote for John McCain over Barack Obama in the general election. Nineteen percent of Obama supporters would vote for McCain over Clinton.")

neither bullshit nor a new link.

Ah, my bad. I missed that conversation earlier on the thread (moves too quickly to read every post).

Man, people sure take a long time to notice stuff. Wake up sheeple!

"Some top Democrats are increasingly worried that the Clintons’ divide-and-conquer strategy is nihilistic: Hillary or no democrat."
