LATE EDITION (CNN) :
It’s now or never for Hillary ...
If she doesn’t get it, she’ll just be a junior senator for the rest of her life ... sort of a pathetic but well-ensconced female Ted Kennedy.
And Bill will become a sad charicature of the formerly glamorous ex-prez.
Yes!
And with the Dem’s current turmoil, the good news is that other than a highly-scripted convention, we can now keep him out of the spotlight until a 6-7 week stretch run. For some candidates this would be a drag, but for McCain at this point it’s a boost.
But, just for the sake of discussion and hypothetically speaking, what if Hillary actually won the Texas Democrat Primary, would that change your political calculus?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
being funny again, Cedric????
thanks
Yes!
It was my fond hope that we could locate The Rev. Wright and send McCain to join him in an undisclosed location.
They could both stay there until the election.
It would be a good bargain.
Yes, RG, Wardaddy was right. For while I go on and on about my shameful days as a liberal, there really WAS a difference.
Because by Thomas Jefferson’s law of countervaling forces, there really IS a place in the world for liberals.
Back when I was a liberal youth, black people really were discriminated against. There were black and white bathrooms, job discrimination and heinous racism.
There was also a very unpopular war which America was determined to lose. I had a young husband, our marriage broke up because of that war. He wanted to move to Canada. No way would I leave my country, that wasn’t going to happen.
And I cheered the Roe versus Wade decision as the final frontier conquered for the liberation of women.
I marched in Civil Rights marches, burned the flag and engaged in all manner of civil mischief but I had a passion about it.
I had no idea that some day the kooks would use Roe versus Wade as justification to yank and baby out of the womb one day before its scheduled birth.
Vietnam is nothing like Iraq.
Blacks are now at an almost equal footing with their white counterparts; it’s not perfect but we’ve come a long way.
so yeah, those liberal days aren’t quite the same thing as liberals of today.
Liberals today are not passionate people who haven’t yet learned the lessons of the slippery slope like in my day. Liberals today are unhappy mean people.
I don’t know why they’re unhappy or why they’re mean but seriously folks, isn’t Bill Maher one of the meanest people on the planet?
I know that if they’re unhappy and mean, they’re liberal.
If Hillary does not become President Bubba will become an international playboy.
Bubba scores either way.
Maybe he likes to fish....
Remember the Rudy McRomney moniker here to describe RINOs. Now Romney is a Conservative, how times change.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
It took a super biased press misrepresenting the war for years and a bunch of doped up protestors to do it, but they accomplished the impossible by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
We lost a war while never losing a battle, hard to do. Hopefully we have learned from our mistakes.
Hi all, Happy Easter. Just a quick comment before my wife figures out I’m on the computer instead of cleaning.....
IF there is not a decisive vote for the Democrats, without the super delegates swinging it one way or the other, what happens on the Democrats second ballot? Are they free to change who they want to vote for?
Well said! Me, too.
In 1974 I was protesting Vietnam and Nixon. In 1975 Saigon fell, and the North won. We were elated, and actually thought peace would now finally come to that troubled region. Then in 1976 we heard about the Cambodian massacres by the Khmer Rouge, the re-education camps, and the brutality that comes from communistic totalitarianism. I remember telling my friends that we should protest the communists, too.
I was told in no uncertain terms, that, “Hey man, the war’s over, and so is the draft. We don’t care anymore, and the communists have a right to kill all those who opposed them for 15 years.” “Even women and children?” I asked. “So what”, I was told. “Oh, and pass that bong, man, don’t bogart it.”
I joined the USAF that year, and voted for Reagan, even though Ford won the nomination. 1976 was my epiphany year.
Great question(where’s Kabar)
Have to disagree.
Bubba has become about as sexy as Hugh Hefner. If he has any good looking babes around him, he’ll have to pay them.
Great post AB!
