I'll plug my nose and pull the lever for Perry if that's what it takes to get the Marxists out of the White Hut. But trading the Chicago Marxists for the Mozillo Mafioso isn't much of a bargain - and this state of affairs is a sad one for America to be in.
>>TROLL from DU.
Don’t do marathons. Regardless there is a winner and the also rans.
>>Dont do marathons.
Obviously.
ooooooohhhhh....name dropper......
My running marathons has nothing to do with there being a winner and the also rans.
[I was talking about the endless self worship coming out of Texas itself. It’s become knee deep with obnoxious trumpeting windbags.]
AMEN.
When he wasn’t on the job back in the day, my dad owned and operated a shuttle van that took skiers from Denver Stapleton to Vail, Aspen, wherever.
Few things irritated him more than having obnoxious drunken Texans as passengers - who would spend the entire trip loudly drawling/slurring how wonderful they were.
That was 20+ years ago.
Things have not changed.
20000 people run the Boston Marathon and only one comes in first.
If, from your couch, you think the other 19999 finishers are all losers, then that just means you don’t know diddly about marathons and those who train for and finish them.
Didn’t say they were losers. You project to much. There is one winner and the rest also rans.
Like I said. You don’t know diddly about marathons or those who finish them.
Most who enter endurance events know we’ll never be across the line first. We prepare and run anyway.
It’s about something else.
Character, discipline, perseverance....
