Really. If the rats steal the nomination from the Mullah Obama, I predict a popcorn shortage in America. (There might be one anyway.)

“Oh, yes, please do!”

Please, please, please, please, please, please, please!!!!!

I feel like James Brown! “Haaaaayyyy... jump back... kiss myself”!

I liked a solution that a caller into the Rush Limbaugh show had. He said, we should just give them our candidate John McCain. He’s left on a lot of issues anyways, right? Then, the republican party can go into the smoke filled back rooms and pick a real conservative to run for our side!

[steelyourfaith]

Heads up.

RUSH: Superdelegates, Doomsday Option: You need to step up to the plate. It has been obvious to me for the longest time that this Democrat primary is going to come down to what the superdelegates decide to do, and you superdelegates, it's time to get some cojones. You are superdelegates, by definition you can do whatever you want. You do not have to follow popular vote, electoral vote, you can vote for whoever you want. You can do it, and that's why you're there. You are there to save your party from a disaster like George McGovern created 1972, or that Jimmy Carter brought to your party in 1980. That's why you superdelegates are there. This is on you. This is on your shoulders. You have only one option if you want to win in 2008.

If you want to win the presidential race in 2008, you have one option: Step up to the plate and find a third candidate. Start talking amongst yourselves now and get this ball rolling. I don't care how much money has been spent on the primaries. I don't care who has the most pledged delegates. I don't care who's leading the popular vote. I don't care about any of that, and you shouldn't, either. You cannot win with these two incompetent, unqualified embarrassments that are seeking your nomination now. You have one hope. People are going to McCain, not because they like him, because they hate your two people. It's time for you superdelegates to get together and find a third candidate. Algore, I don't know, but somebody.

Over Hillary’s dead body. I can live with that!

As Rush said yesterday, the most frustrated person in this whole episode is John Edwards.

Had he waited it out like Hillary did, he could be picking up all of these pieces.

We need a new category,”The degreed but uneducated”.

[poobear]

I’m a little tired here and over worked, but how’d I get into this thread?

[poobear]

Never mind!!!!

I’m still getting used to this new John Robinson Green VS Black latest ping thAAAng!

Carry on Rip....

>>>Gore’s made maybe $500 mill...

Eric Schmidt signed on for 3.5 million options of GOOG in 2001, and I guess he’d have signed Gore to his GOOG consulting gig for at least 100,000 options, making Gore worth $30 million in 2005 and up to $70 million last year.

It’s anyone’s guess though (in lieu of Gore’s employment agreement). It could be $15 to $35 million at 50,000 options, or $150 to $350 million if Gore got 500,000 options.

Do people actually believe that the bitterness and clinging in the donkey party will subside with Gore’s nomination? This year is the first time that a Black man or a woman of any color has a chance to be nominated for number one. There will be plenty of bitterness if Hillary or Obama is shoved aside for the Global Hot Air candidate. Both groups will think they were cheated. Plenty of bitter Dems who will stay home on voting day. Which is good.

Oh, yes, please do! He'd never do it, though, he's got too much to lose, with all those carbon credits and the rest of that scam.

Quite right!

But, it's not just about giving up the carbon credits. He'd also have to face a flood of questions about the global warming hysteria of which he's the main proponent. Shedding so much light on the subject might expose global warming for what it is, "junk science". That's a risk which I'm pretty sure that Gore is not willing to take, not even for the presidency. He's been avoiding debating the questions surrounding global warming, and becoming a candidate in any capacity might turn out to be a roundabout way of opening himself up to debating the question.

Gore may not be too smart, but I believe him smart enough to avoid answering the tough questions, especially concerning global warming.

>>>>I said months ago that Gore was somehow going to be the candidate, and I bet he will be. What’s worse, I bet he’ll win.

I’ve been saying it for about a year, to varying degrees of certainty. It’s always been because Hitlery is unelectable.
