My undercover evening at a Wesley Clark for President meetup.

"I applaud you for going into the belly of the beast, I couldn't do it."

Thanks, but I'm sure that you could. You're smarter than they are - that's evident since you're posting here - and it is fun. You just have to hold back enough to let the fun continue for a while.

[Badray]

" Too funny...."

That was it precisely. Too funny.

[Badray]

I think if it was a Mosely-Braun rally, I would have been the only one there.

"This is a service to conservatives (and President Bush and the GOP) that FReepers can be invaluable."

It could be very dangerous. Being surrounded by all of the brainpower and charm that they libs have, our valiant FReepers might get converted to the dark side. Yeah, right.

[Badray]

" Oh I do have principles,..."

If you aren't ready, willing and able to stand for our inalienable rights, then they aren't really principles. They are just guideposts to let you see how far you're sinking into the morass of totalitarianism while telling yourself that you're doing the right thing.

" Almost as pathological as the hatred of Clinton. Key word here: almost. I'm just speaking for myself here, but the conservative mass hatred of Clinton embarrassed me. It drowned out anything that conservatives were trying to say."

Welcome to FR.

Clinton, if not the worst president ever, was at least the worst man ever to be president. My (our) anger, disgust, and yes, hatred for him was for specific and deliberate acts of personal misconduct and crimes. He trampled on the Constitution and the law. He believed himself to be above the law. He took campaign contributions from the Communist Chinese in exchange for missle technology. He should have been tried for treason. Yes, there was hatred for Clinton and good reasons for it.

Now tell me what Bush has done to merit their hatred. They don't like his policies because they believe that he is a right wing zealot. Guess what? My anger, but not hatred, stems from him being way too far to the left for my tastes.

Their hatred doesn't even make sense. He has given them more of what they want and they don't even know it.

[Badray]

"Good work. I cannot understand the unreasoning hatred the left has for Bush - he is protecting their sorry butts and spending up a storm on big government programs - you'd think they'd be happy."

EXACTLY!

[Badray]

Thanks.

[Badray]

"Keep your friends close but your enemies closer".

Always sound advice.

[Badray]

" Thanks! You just made my day!"

Don't get too excited yet. If she gets 'drafted' at the Convention, they'd vote for her. Especially if she signs on as VP and can maintain a low profile. Sorry.

Ashcroft could stop her, but won't.
He already let reno run against Jeb Bush.

[Badray]

"Did you wear your "celebrate diversity" shirt?"

Now THAT would have blown my cover. LOL

[Badray]

Thanks. I'm okay as long as I get about 4 hours sleep a day. I was up about 20 hours this morning when I was posting.

[Badray]

" Wow! That is some shockingly good news."

I'm taking it as surprising and relatively good, but I won't count her out yet. She wants it too bad to be counted out.

[Badray]

LOL

[Badray]

"Well you didn't kill anyone, that's really showing some restraint!"

If I had put my 45 on the table, I'll bet that I could have caused at least one heart attack and many hissy fits. But killing them wouldn't have been sporting.

[Badray]

"Truth is like a great sifter or thresher and the way people react to it sets people to one side or the other,..."

And most of all, "The truth shall set you free."

[Badray]

"...I don't know how you held your composure..."

Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. ;-)

[Badray]

Actually, I can usually fall asleep in the chair while the dentist is drilling, but I have to have the novacaine first.

"Freep Mail with a "Ping List" for starters (that is culled through real good)."

That was quick and you made it seem easy. Have you been thinking this through already?
