2008 Primaries Thread 3: The Rejecting and Denouncening

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 think what some people (including myself) are saying is that if we are happy with toned-down Repubs for Democrats as the "left" party...

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?

this speaks volumes about the credibility of the organizations listed

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!

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."

i hate it when people say sheeple

sorry :-(

lol its not you man

its me

to me the term suggests a degree of condescension, but i'm sure you didn't intend that at all and i didn't mean to suggest you did.

i'm thinking that the Bosnia fib isn't going away, someone photoshop hil's head onto dukakis' body in the picture where he's in that tank

Hillary's not getting Dukakisised -- cast as a vaguely alien, strange person (that's Obama's role) -- she's getting Gored -- cast as a robotic serial exaggerator with overweening ambition. Whether you agree with that or not, and regardless of how much truth you think those caricatures have in them, they ARE the group stories being told. It's important for us to understand these stories and understand that they are the framework inside which the eventual Democratic nominee will struggle to operate.

"clumsy, transparent attempt to gain militaristic credibility backfires and makes the candidate look like a jerk" was the basis of my dukakis comparison. but i think you're right about the gore bit, too.

hillary really over thought her strategy and ran on what obama is not instead of what she is

she really does not have a lot of presidential type experience - it stands to reason that she was caught trying to fabricate some

its kinda funny cause theres really nothing that can prepare you to be president
