Let's hope they are busted in Denver
What else could she say? As long as she stays in the primaries, she has to put on a brave face. I still predict she will get out before the convention.
Here’s a song we’ll soon be hearing a lot—
Get Out of Denver
Bob Seger
I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shinin
My ‘60 Cadillac was rollin through Nebraska whinin
Doin a hundred twenty man the fields was bendin over
Hay down our motor mount and snowin, we was travelin further
All the pipes were blazin and the screamin wheels turnin, turnin
Had my girl beside me brother, brother she was burnin, burnin
A hooked up babtist preachin southern funky school teacher
She had a line on somethin heavy but we couldn’t reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and layed it on the counter showin
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
Asked how much she needed, man, we lit out in a pickup truck & GO
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver better go-ooooh
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better, get outta Denver
Well, red lights are flashin and the sirens were a screamin
We had to pinch each other just to see if we was dreamin
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzlin and it turned into a thunder shower
The rain kept drivin but the Caddy kept on burnin rubber
We kept on drivin til we ran into some fog cover
We couldn’t see a thing somehow we just kept on goin
We kept on drivin all night long and then into the mornin
Fog had finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We’re sailin in a column had a state policeman trooper’s hat
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver better go-ooooh
Get outta Denver better go, go
Get outta Denver cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better, get outta Denver
cause you like just like a commie and you might just be a member, better
Get outta Denver, better GO!
“you go, girl!”
I think I will have to abandon the Denver area in August.
Operation Chaos *ping*
it used to be called Scorched Earth...
Plato called this a desire for thymos. That is, a striving not only for leadership but for personal meaning and excellence. It was a passionate commitment.
Nietzsche saw this as a "will to power" using much the same description. At least for these individuals, and perhaps most individuals, there is a desire for personal power, recognition and success. He pointed out they are not primarily driven by the desire for pleasure and avoidance of pain (Freud) but to put their stamp on the world. So he felt, at the base of our existence, we all were--seen as problematical by most modern philosophers.
Either Plato's or Nietzsche's interpretation are flat out different from normal, accepted Christian doctrine of the value of meekness, generosity and compassion.
Surely, even if you disagree with these takes, you can see Hillary has a strong "will to power" and is unlikely, except by extraordinary blandishments or fear, to recant and renounce her effort. This is especially true, when she can still see a definite, mathematical and psychological plausibility of prevailing.
Wait to see what she does when she fails. Remember Buchanan? Mccain? Expect similar externally directed animosity to those who thwarted her.
It’s time for Operation Chaos to start backing Obama. Hillary has made it clear that she’s staying in it until the end, therefore, there’s no need for Republicans in the remaning contests to continue to prop her up. Obama is very beatable in the general election. Let’s stop the she-beast before it’s too late.
I predict Hillary will be playing her fiddle as Denver burns. Recreate 68 promises to take the disruptions outside of Denver too. Well, DemocRAT gov, state senate, state house, Denver mayor, etc, etc. The chickens will come home to roost.
Of course she’ll stay in. The Clintons are trickling out stories about everyone and anyone surrounding Barack H. Obama. And they need all the time they can gather to figure out how they are going to steal this nomination. Currently, they’re working overtime in Pennsylvania where the next round of theft will likely take place.
Hey-Off topic. I just heard last night there’s a “Tripping The Rift” live-action (I think) movie coming out. Rejoice! Don’t know who’s playing Six.
Exactly. Everybody in PA: cross over for Obama.
Remember the last time Hillary was broke?
Hang in there, Toots! I'm all for you fighting it out till the bitter end.
Don't let those candy-asses who are afraid of a little convention squabble run you out of this election. You DESERVE it. It's OWED to you.
And if they don't give it to you, bring every stinkin' one of 'em down with you.
thx... pls keep me advised.
“...that’s what credentials committees are for>”
She knows the Clintons control the credentials committee and intend to ensure the delegate distribution goes her way by “selecting” which delgates get seated. You can’t vote for Obama if you are are out on the street.
My mistake-not live-action, but here it is. ;^D
