Craig Crawford's Trail Mix

Craig,

I agree, but those voters haven't been paying attention to Senator McCain. He's gone through a lot of changes to court his own party. They just don't like him.

It bothers me that so many commentators when speaking of Hillary Clinton make the same error every time: That a woman is somehow only human in the way she is related to some man. They only comment about HIllary as an extension of Bill. Every bad thing ever said about him by the right wing is simply transferred to her with the added info that she is a lesbian and a bitch.

Isn't it time for the country to grow up. Just as those with a whole host of prejudices will comment about Obama's name, the sermons of his preacher, the color of his skin, and accusations of underhanded real estate deals and anti semitism.

For Hillary it will be socialized medicine, enabler of a cheating husband, gender scandals that never existed blah blah blah

Why can she be an intelligent capable woman who will make a great president? Why can't he just be an intelligent capable man who would make a great President.

Then you look at the issues and decide which one matches you for a vote.

What a concept!

Craig-
Works for me. As we Raider fans like to say:
Just win, baby.
Now, I'm really off to see Hillary!
~G

I hope the cast is off and I am sure the leg feels weird. Perhaps you are getting more blood to your brain now because I think you have more clarity than before after reading your post.

Our paper had an item about Hillary visiting here on Saturday night, but the venue may move to Albuquerque. Our caucus in on Tuesday. Sure wish she would have run for the border this weekend.

Hey there, Mass. and NH Trailspotters: The Joe and Mika Show is supposed to be broadcasting from a place called Mike's Diner in Boston on Monday morning. Do we want to get a group of Trailspotters together for breakfast and give a shout-out to Craiggers? We could make papier-mache casts and wave them in the background in his honor! No, seriously...anyone want to crash the MoJo party?

I have been very disappointed in John McCain in recent months.

Today he is saying that Hillary outlined her plan to surrender last night. I'm going to send her another donation after I send this message.

The fascination the press has for McCain has always revealed press shallowness when a candidate gives them a few minutes of friendly talk on the bus.

John McCain doesn't touch my heart Chis Matthews.

Claire,

Count me out. If the Pat's win they'll still be clearing the drunks from Boston, if they lose, they will be clearing the bodies. Besides, I don't drive to Boston in the morning if I can avoid it.

So Craig , am I understanding this correctly , you're predicting a HRC win this November.?

"We could make papier-mache casts and wave them in the background in his honor! No, seriously...anyone want to crash the MoJo party?"

It would be funnier to make them ask you why you were waving cow posters.

No problem, Bowmanc! If I knew you personally, I'd offer you a ride...but I don't want to be the top story on Geraldo's show. "She picked up a fellow Trailspotter from Craig Crawford's blog -- a complete stranger -- and was never seen again. Film at 11." :-)

Cow posters with BUSINESS TIME emblazoned across, Jamie? :-)

I know this is straying from the post, but I fired Move-On.org today (twice as their server was so slow) just like I did with John Kerry. So, the endorsements are beginning to piss me off. But, I am just as stubborn as they are stupid. (winos are like this) : )
I still do not eat Yoplait or Progresso products as they were the sponsors of the swift boat ads. When I wrote them (Pet Incorporated) a letter about their support of liars, they sent me a really lame response Dannon works for me and I make my own soup. And I learned how to cook bacon today from this blog.

I think "Business Time" is what the Republicans are doing to the country,

Craig, I don't like your criterion. You're saying sneaky wins. That sucks.

Hillary must be doing something right. The left is calling her a war mongering bitch and the right is calling her a surrendering cut & runner.

I think the MoveOn endorsement of Obama is huge and could cost Hillary dearly on Tuesday.

I think that Move On is far more to the left than the majority of the Democratic party members. The Independents and Liberal Republicans are more likely to vote for Hillary because she didn't get that endorsement.

Patsi

only amount the netroots. People like my wife are too busy to even know what moveon.org even is. HRC's name recognition and reputation helps her.

Jack

Speaking of doing anything. Just got this in from the Hillary Clinton campaign.

Come Monday night, we'll be only hours away from millions of people in 22 states heading out to make their voices heard.

So what I want to do Monday night is the kind of campaigning I love the most -- talking with people, listening to their questions, and sharing our hopes and dreams for America's future.

Will you be a part of this special opportunity to share ideas with people all across the country?

We're planning our Voices Across America town hall meeting. This event -- one of the biggest town hall meetings America has ever seen -- will be broadcast live Monday night on Hallmark Channel starting at 9 p.m. EST. Or you can watch it live on HillaryClinton.com.

..just admit that you are a Hillary shill already?

The Hallmark Channel? Only Oxygen or Lifetime would have been more stereotypical.

She should put it on Versus or ESPN, since politics is blood sport. :-)

“Winners compare their achievements with their goals, while losers compare their achievements with those of other people”

Do these recent endorsements usually take place before the nomination?

Did move-on endorsed last time around? I never really paid any attention to them in the past. Is it just that th press has nothing else to talk about?

"Yoplait or Progresso "

Blonde Wino -- Thank you for that info! I didn't know -- and will boycott as well. I gave up Domino's pizzas long ago.

Jack -- My concern is more asbout MoveOn's organizing ability....and the fact that I suspect that at caucuses they could use some pretty tough tactics. They are not your Mama's democrats. I am reminded of those young Rerpub thugs who showed up in Florida in 2000.

I was looking forward to the Hillary town hall, but once i heard about Obama's super bowl ad, I started really looking forward to that

If any of the Clinton supporters would like to give move on a piece of their minds:

http://pol.moveon.org/feedback/fb/form.html?tp=suggest

Move-On has something in common with the majority of Air America hosts..they speak for the extreme fringe of the party, but they think they represent the base..

Music Afficianados:

Your mission is to name the five greatest blues musicians. I need your nominations no later than Sunday.

Thank you.

The Move-On.org vote was about 30% for Hillary...now the weight of their endorsement is dropping. It most likely wasn't an accurate vote. How many independents and republicans can vote in the Dems race on Super Tuesday? (I am ignorant about this). And I cringe when I hear BO talk about independents and republicans voting for him...reminds me of Joe Leibermann. Maybe that is the turn-off to the Demcore.

I always find a Walt Handelsman aimation to be funny this one is no exception
check out his archive to a great time waster.

It depends on the state. If they are open primaries that allow independents and reregistrations the day of the election, they will be able to vote for whichever person they want.

If they are closed primaries, then those crossovers won't be able to vote until the general for whomever the parties nominate.

I was just wondering if anyone knew which state(s) that applied to...New Mexico is closed. It might be on CNN (they really have better graphics than MSNBC...let me check.

Rob Reiner endorses Clinton, Susan Sarandon endorses Obama.

Sheesh I like Sarandon more than Reiner and this time I gotta go with Rob!

It's lucky I don't vote on the basis of celebrity mush.

Craig, you used a poll, a Fox poll at that, to come to the conclusion HRC would do something devious or unethical to win? A FOX POLL! Gimme a break!

Here is the info on calif. primary
http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/elections_decline.htm

"Susan Sarandon endorses Obama"

She may be having flashbacks to her role in Rocky Mountain Horror Show.

I said I wouldn't post again, but I am bothered about MoveOn making that endorsement. I wrote to them and said that, in my opinion, the Dems have two fantastic candidates that will change history in this election and promote REAL change after the November victory. Something like that. And I know it might sound strange, but I think Clinton/Obama would be a powerhouse duo going into the general election. I suspect many Obama supporters would find an Obama/Clinton make up just as positive.

It appears to me that Obama has more momentum at this moment. I applaud both Hillary and Barack for taking the high road in this last debate. Somehow the passions of their core constituencies need to work together to make a victory come November. Can they? Will they?

Oh and if you don't like what I wrote, attack the message, not the messenger ok? That's so grade school.

Cheerio

"story about using mentally retarded women being used as suicide bombers"

Jesus! I hadn't heard that part of the story.

Just wait, in late October we will be deluged with more stories of atrocities, threats to our allies and potential attacks coming to our shores. I have no doubt.

I think the move-on.org endorsement will have less of an impact in closed primaries.

From Wikipedia

A closed primary is a type of direct primary limited to registered party members who have declared their party affiliation, in order to vote in the election. The closed primary serves to encourage party unity and prevent members of other parties from infiltrating and voting to nominate weak candidates. However, critics claim that this type of primary disenfranchises independent voters and puts more moderate candidates at a disadvantage.

The opposite is an open primary, that is open to voters regardless of their party affiliation and status. Another possibility is the semi-closed primary, where independent voters may choose at the poll which party's primary to vote for.

States, commonwealths, districts, and territories that have closed primaries[citation needed]:

Arizona
California
Connecticut
Delaware
District of Columbia
Florida [1]
Kentucky
Maryland
Massachusetts (Semi-closed primary)
Nebraska
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Oregon
Pennsylvania
Puerto Rico
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Utah
West Virginia

Brain in NYC...estrogen mafia! Oh dear, you have already started happy hour.

I will not comment... I will not comment... I will not comment.

Why So Many Feminists Are Deciding to Vote for Barack Obama

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/ellen-bravo/why-so-many-feminists-are_b_84482.html

I think the use of "estrogen mafia" by you is very telling of "why" you do not like women or Hillary. I know you will put on your nose mitten (I learned that today from this blog, too) and vote democratic this fall (I also learned that today about you). But, for centuries men have had the power because they basically can "take" women. They are typically bigger or stronger (Dennis Kucinich aside) and can overpower women. I think Dan Brown can write another novel about how men do not want to share the political power with women. It really is silly because you a missing out on a lot. I can see you hitting an estrogen wall, but MAFIA? Pretty telling.

Awww Go ahead Tom. We're already squabbling. Might as well break into all out war. :-)

"RFK Jr.'s "pro-life" stance in the commercial featuring him"

There really isn't any conflict between pro life and and pro choice unless you are one of those people who thinks pro choice means in favor of killing babies rather than being in favor of a woman controlling her own body.

How do you feel about Clair McCaskill ad for Obama. She is comtemporary politician who wants to deport all undocumented workers.

Maybe she is more of a uniter than you realize. Strong woman can understand that abortion is distasteful to some and important to others without forcing either side to try to agree on anything more than that choice should be allowed.

The point I have been trying to make is that Hillary is a combat veteran. She is willing to put on body armor, get out the weapons and engage in a scorched earth policy (if necessary). Sound like someone in a war? Politics has been described as warfare without bloodshed. Campaign is a military term. Is Obama capable of taking on the enemy (MSM & Repubs)?

And i say, Tom...

Don't stress. Free Speech is one hard freedom to take sometimes. Even the rude ones.

You just let it happen because unfortunately its 6 to 1 and 1/2 a doz to the other.

I think everyone stops short at all out nastiness here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8_FOQ7-P30

Maybe this will help?

I love Dave Mason...I have his "speckled album," Alone Together. I no longer have a turn table to play it on however. : (

RFK and JFK individual stands are hard to judge by today's standards. Neither of them was all that great on a lot of issues importan to women and choice is one of them

I'd be more concerned about assciations with living polticians. Ben Nelson has endorsed Obama
He voted with the Republicans on FISA

Ben Nelson - CongresspediaBen Nelson currently serves as the Jr. Senator for Nebraska ... Nelson is among the leading conservative Democrats in the Senate. ...

Corey.....ITS MY DIVORCE SONG

Thanks for the memories. lol

We have acquired a Blonde Wino along the campaign trail, eh? Welcome aboard.

Craig interesting and correct theory vis-a-vis unethical, IMHO.

tt

RFK and JKF are Democratic Party Icons.
like Jefferson and Jackson. They evoke the spirit of the party not specific issues.

From kate,

I'd be more concerned about assciations with living polticians. Ben Nelson has endorsed Obama
He voted with the Republicans on FISA

"AND I think diversity is great. This is what has drawn me to Obama."

Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is pro choice and she is the one endorsing. She is envoking the spirit of her father.

Now how do you feel about Obama hiding his immigration stand behind McCaskill's anti immigration stand in a state where that matters.

Craig, the unethical and highest Machiavellian will win the nod for each party. I say Clinton and McCain.

tt

I'm well aware that the Kennedy's are Catholic. Is it really necessary to be so snarky? His endorsement of someone who is pro choice is no violation of that religion. If someone chooses to never have an abortion or use birth control that is their business. That is what CHOICE means.

Well ok, I hardly think that Teddy Kennedy with all his womanizing, boozing, partying with the Kennedy boys, driving his secretary into a watery grave ... well which is worse? RFK Jr. being Pro-life, or Teddy being "pro-choice" and already causing so much heartache and pain for women and also Mary Jo's parents?

Now how do you feel about Obama hiding his immigration stand behind McCaskill's anti immigration stand in a state where that matters.

Posted by: Katherine Graham Cracker | February 1, 2008 6:35 PM

I've grown to trust and respect Obama and Axelrod. Their grasp of Inclusion, diversity, and political tactics are broad reaching. I've been surprised by a lot of their moves. Well done and far sighted.

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean
I didn't answer it.

also maybe you should read up on RFK's position

Robert F. Kennedy Miscellaneous Information
Abortion: Never took an absolute position on abortion. Although his Catholic background probably predisposed him to oppose abortion, his Senatorial letters to constituents show him to have been aware of the enormous complexities of the issue, to the extent that he did not wish to take a hasty and simplistic stand.

http://www.jfklibrary.org/Historical+Resources/Archives/Reference+Desk/Robert+F.+Kennedy+Miscellaneous+Information.htm

Let's just acknowledge that Bill and Hillary are the consummate politicians.. I've never seen better politicians -- no matter how much Morningload tries to make Bill sound like he's mouthing off again when that was about policy to a group of teachers. As political science studying them is amazing, in different ways. She has worked so hard for the past 8 years to establish her own identity, one I happen to like, and Bill is just so good with a crowd. I've seen him work a room.. he does the 'shake hands with an arm-grasp' thing... talks directly to people so that they feel like they're the ony ppl in the room. Hillary does the same thing, except for the arm-grasp (and we may yet see that). And yes, they'll do anything to win, but cmon... they all will. Didnt McCain go cap in hand to Bob Jones University? Didnt Romney suddenly become Super-Protector of the Unborn? Whether one likes a politician is one thing... but whether one will vote for him/her is quite another.

So how do I feel. I think if RFK were alive today he would support a woman's right to choose and unlike some here..he showed a willingess to change.

and Tom..Bri's been here a long time (he doesnt need me saying this either).. just remember that written words on a blog tend to be rather stark... and he knows I'm a proud card-carrying member of the Estrogen Mafia.

Corey

sorry I touched-off the divorce jukebox...I have so many songs like Kansas' "Dust in the Wind" stuck in my head for days when my ex left. : )

Well gee Patsi many of you femianazi's were so quick to label Teddy as a betrayer of woman, yet he's actively campaigned to protect a woman's right to choice, and his nephew doesn't believe in a woman's right to choose. Can we spell hyporcisy boys and girls? Would you like white, rye, or wheat toast to go with that egg on your face?

This from the person who just posted a bogus statement about RFK?????????

actually hypocrisy is spelled this way

not hyporcisy...

so I guess not all of us CAN spell it.

Cheerio

I call those 'earwig songs'...ya CANT get em out!

Patsi

Sorry I did not answer your question, but I feel fine if she "allows" another point of view. It is not the only issue that defines us. It is my America, too. As it is your America. We can differ, but unite to snag the country back from the 'asses of evil.'

Good one Tylenol...earwigs.

Just to add my probably unwelcome 2 cents worth here... I don't think Robert Kennedy Jr.'s stance on abortion will affect Hillary Rodham Clinton's stance on abortion. They most likely agree on at least 90% of issues and they are able to deal with that. I have friends who are voting for Obama. It surprised me but it doesn't mean I love them any less. We agree on the bottom line: if it gets the REPUGS out of power, we'll even vote for a Mayonnaise jar.

QUESTION.. is there a way to communicate with certain bloggers here without it being public?

So my point is, RFK Jr and Uncle Teddy are just a microcosm of this party.

"Well gee Patsi many of you femianazi's were so quick to label Teddy as a betrayer of woman, yet he's actively campaigned to protect a woman's right to choice, and his nephew doesn't believe in a woman's right to choose. Can we spell hyporcisy boys and girls? Would you like white, rye, or wheat toast to go with that egg on your face"

You need to stop PWH, "posting while high."

Just as gays don't speak for the entire community, feminists are quite capable of thinking for themselves. Your line of thought has no logic, in the first place. More importantly, your active dislike and name calling makes me wonder if you suffer a bit from mammary-envy. (only half kidding)

Well, let's not forget that while Caroline was peacefully napping her daddy was banging the mafia doll, Judith Exner (spelling may be wrong) in the White House. Yep, Craig is right...they will do anything to get elected. And that is why I thought of Joe Leibermann.....McBush's best friend.

is it a full moon?

Patsi and Jamie, I like both of your style. Now, please explain mammary to me. Thanks xoxoxo

JFK wouldnt even get elected now... so many journalists knew of Kennedy's...shall we say..foibles?... and said/wrote nothing.. would never happen now..

thought maybe something interfering with the karma...

How about lets go back to politics and tone down the sassy. All of us.

Getting a little hot in here.

I know John F. Kennedy wasn't perfect, but I still respect him highly. I respect Jacqueline even more because she had to deal with the humiliation of Jack's extracurricular activities involving women. She held up well and it is clear she loved her husband deeply. And I believe that President Kennedy loved his wife deeply as well.

h20storm ?? full moon??

" It is not the only issue that defines us. It is my America, too. As it is your America. We can differ, but unite to snag the country back from the 'asses of evil.'"

Absolutely right!

Oh and I have almost all the regular emails, so could forward communications or give them to you with their permission.

Here's what I predict. This Tuesday, the delegates will probably split pretty much in two. Clintonites will trump all of the big state wins as "huge" while Obama supporters will note that he wins in red states. That said, I still think that Obama not only has the momentum for the rest of the primaries, but the floodgates will open in terms of endorsements for Obama as the national poll numbers go toward Obama for the first time. Once the wind leaves Hillary's sails, there ain't gonna be a second chance. Also, note that the same Clinton media tricks (not black enough, too black, drugs, and now blacks and Latinos don't get along) will turn out to have blow back in that Obama will poll a LOT better in those communities than people realized. Again, just like in the black community, Clinton is going for all of the establishment Latino leaders, while the grassroots are voting for Obama. Obama will get the nomination.

my email: adeste_fidalis@yahoo.ca (yes I know its misspelled)

I am soon to bed, it is 1 am here.

Sheila, the short time I have visited it seems it gets pretty sassy and rather hot in this discussion. I credit folks that it doesn't totally go overboard. When I read comments that are not nice, I tend to want to respond. And if/when they continue, I usually do respond though I try not to go overboard. Last night I was ready to sling some nasty remarks in here and I said "f*ck it, I'm not going to do this". I love the discussions and if certain folks could stop throwing insult slingers out in each post, everyone would get along MUCH better.

My thoughts only.

Tom xoxoxoxox

Sort of reminds you of Hillary standing by Bill, ET? I just do not think any more or less of either Bill or Jack, but it is that media again. It is their reporting or lack of reporting on the extra-marital affairs. Look at Newt...impeaches while he is grabbing the peach.

And EuroTom, I really do appreciate you and I am glad you are talking or typing, that is.

"that's what curmudgeons do!"

Every once in a while would you give us all a breather and use a little less cur and a little more mudge?

We've picked up a lot of newbies, they don't know yet that you can be very sweet when no one is looking.

"Also, note that the same Clinton media tricks (not black enough, too black, drugs, and now blacks and Latinos don't get along) will turn out to have blow back in that Obama will poll a LOT better in those communities than people realized.

My mom said I had to apologize and stop posting lies.

Blonde, yes it reminds me of Hillary standing by Bill ... and it is also the reason I think Jackie would have been by Hillary's side in this election. She lived the White House life along with the marital infidelities and personal humiliations. And I believe that Hillary LOVES Bill totally and Jackie LOVED Jack totally.

who is Ran? His blog is not active.

hehehe

I'd put Bonnie Raitt on that list too

I'm ran with a little r, I'm overhauling my blog into something more exciting!! (to me anyway)

what i dont understand is why they send me penis enlargement AND breast enhancement emails..what do they think I am..a hermaphrodite? (sorry, didnt mean to offend the hermaphrodites among us)

I have a plan but I don't know if I can pull it off as easily as I need to. But I am working on it

MOi? Suspicious? Bats eyelashes and feigns innocence long since lost.

anray.. ourya ecretsay is afesay ithway emay.

Breast enlargements? All I get are the "Make Your Girlfriend Happy" ones.....LOL I was wondering about that.

well..that's rather odd..I just realized I can write igPay atinLay but I can't read it

All they send me is job offers ... earn thousands at home on your free time.

Don't they know I've retired?

Of course all of this is why I have three emails: One that gets all the garbage there is. One of people I don't know but invite to write that I can add or reject and one private. Good system.

I saw David Brooks write a similar arguement about a year ago on why Hillary need not apologize for her war vote, here's a new from a blogger. It's a shame no journalist feels the misinformation from Obama is never challenged
http://thedemocraticdaily.com/2008/02/01/hillary-and-iraq

Me? on East coast of U.S.? Yes that would be incorrect. oh and if you think the fighting in the USA is bad, remember that Belgium went 6 months without a government after the elections and only when the exiting Prime Minister intervened on request of the King, there was an interim government formed. It's still a mess and there are signs the government coalition will not be able to create a permanent government to sit until the 2011 (?) elections.

DEMOCRACY IS MESSY!

don't try the penis enlargement stuff it doesn't work...uh so I hear

Jamie,
In this order: Rufus Thomas, Ruth Brown, John Lee Hooker, , Robert Johnson, and John Mayall. Don't forget the Memphis Horns for back-up and honorable mention goes to the Bar-Kays.

Rufus is my all time favorite. Do the funky chicken.

Ran,

What I want to know is the suction thingy....does it work or is it really just snake oil....so to speak.

Ran, you are bad... oh and I plan to stay on in Belgium pretty much forever. I rely on the quality health care and the social security system is very sturdy. Taxes are high, but the benefits are higher.

As my friend Barb says to me "I gladly pay taxes. America is worth it"

LOLOL ran....I could take that two ways. LOL

Buddy Guy

oops..sorry doots..didnt mean to step on yours

large or small? before or after?

picking number one is easy though

Obama criticizing Hillary Clinton re: vote on the Iraq War Resolution

To Obama: You are running on your ability of building a “broad consensus”, being the “uniter” and “ending partisan politics”, etc. Why then, at a most critical time with American lives in the balance, did you fail as the uniter and fail in gaining a broad consensus of both republican and democrat senators to vote against Iraq War Resolution?

...LOL OK......LOL

Enough. I was just asking, because it sounds so....painful. ;0)

BlondWIno: Tom Waits? Wow, ....I happen to be a total Waits devotee...I have every lp, tape, and cd he ever released, plus I got my hands on some bootleg vinyls from Europe that a guy got for me 20 years ago.
YouTube has the MOST EXCELLENT vids from Europe, posted by someone named Sarah...great stuff.

Obama wasn't in the Senate at that time. He didn't have the national or international following to stop or influence anything.

just sayin.

Sheila: it does sound painful, fortunately asw I was told by a girlfriend long ago

it ain't the size of the plow but how long you spend in the field

Horsedooty: Right...Robert Johnson? It all starts with him at the top of the list...."Crossroads"

(A good friend of mine was a drummer for a big-time international band, and he got sober at Clapton's "Crossroads" in Antigua.)

tylenol...Well, now I'M offended...not by you, but by the internet trolls! I'm only getting penis enlargement emails.... Hmmmm....

small change got rained on with his own .38

LOLOLOLOL Very Astute saying.

My grandmother told me, "It not the way he walks, but how he waltz' "

I knew I could depend on you guys for the musicians.

Now ... What one song always gets to you ... you know you always choke up a bit whether you want to or not, simply because it is so closely connected to something important? It doesn't have to be a great song, just one that does you in every time.

This is not my favorite version even though Barry Manilow wrote the music to go with the Johnny Mercer lyrics, but it is the best You Tube had.

When October Goes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEpj68Qf5jQ

Tom Waits? Wasn't he the guy that said "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy" on Fernwood 2Nite?

And in that vein, who can forget Martin Mull's "Suburban Blues":

Woke up this mornin', both my cars were gone.
Woke up this mornin', both my cars were gone.
I felt so low down deep inside
I threw my drink across the lawn.

not a problem ty

great minds and all

yo soy Horsedooty!

I suggest looking up Whitey Johnson on youtube and hearing the real deal.

Patsi knows this guy....Gary Nicholson

yo soy Horsedooty!

anybody see William Dobson(Catholic League) saying he wants to fight Bill Maher? that;s what I remember about Jesus from my short time as a Christian, fight anyone you disagree with

Easy for me Jamie,

Corey gave us Dave Mason tonight (We Just Disagree)and its my tear Jerker song...always.

LOL

I'll be seeing you in all the old familiar places.....

does anyone believe bill clinton made rascist remarkes in south carolina'''or was this a media fabrication '''you can make anyone sound racsist'' take a comment out of context'' show 10 second clip on tv '' insert your own narrative'' there you go instant racsist

Dexter...who knew? Tom Waits is most unique. Didn't he hang with Ricki Lee?

Now ... What one song always gets to you ... you know you always choke up a bit whether you want to or not

1st choice Lean on Me--Bill Withers
2nd choice My bologna has a first name

Dobson......the kingdom of heaven aint within him.

k..this doesnt choke me up as much as crack me up.. it's BB King..

"Noooooooooobody loves me but my mama.. but she could be jivin too"

:)

Oh larry, Old News. Get over it or save it until the the Primaries are over with.

i think tom and rickie lee were married at one time

Jamie,
This isn't Barry Manilow, but it's close. And the sentiment always makes me tear up.

""It not the way he walks, but how he waltz' ""

Sheila, then there is the Buffett lyric:

If you can't love her long, love her a lot

What's with KO's wardrobe tonight? He looks like he is auditioning for Guys and Dolls.

larry

You are right...really, Bill Clinton a racist? Just doesn't fit. Sex addict, but not a racist. And there are a lot of sex addicts in politics. It has always amazed me that the people who are offended by the use of the word Fu*ck, casually screw (in more ways than one) their neighbors on a regular basis?

hmmm....Like that one too Jamie!

if you're feelin salty, then I'm your tequila
if you've got the freedom, honey I got the time
there ain't nothing sweeter, than naked emotion
so you show me yours honey and I'll show you mine

I have this question: was Obama actively trying to get anyone to vote against the Iraq Resolution? Was that a "cause" of his? Or not?

Does anyone else think KO looks like Steve Allen?

"Grandpa cut your toesnails..yer tearin all the sheets"

blonde,

Kind of a taste. A hint of Steve, but not enough to shake a stick at.

I'd say, he imagines himself Edward R Murrow and on air his gestures are actually patterned to relfect Murrow in his "Special Comments"

Rickie Lee and Tom Waits were an item , then after their split, Tom and Kathleen Brennan were hitched, and are still dual-credited for all or most of all of Wait's songs.

Jamie,
What can I say. I'm a Tap-Head.

"Hillary as the Democratic Dick Cheney."

Priceless.

of course there's always the hillbilly blues:

"I got that woman outta my heart but I can't get her outta my mobile home."

So Charlie Rangel's wife is endorsing Obama---Believe Jesse Jackson's wife is for Hillary.

I tell ya, this breaking of bones seems to be going around.......I'm gonna walk softly and carry a big walking stick.......

And then there's that old time favorite...

Mama Get The Hammer (There's A Fly On Papa's Head)

"Honeyyyy???? Can you move the transmission? I wanna take a bathhhh."

"Hillary as the Democratic Dick Cheney."

To everyone who might not have had any knowledge that Liston was possibly not in the best fight-shape, that outcome was amazing...I have been a Muhammad Ali fan since I saw Cassius Clay fight as a young man on "Friday Night Fights", must have been 1960, just before the Olympics.

Old school John Mayer. The ultimate in breakup songs.

Hey Craig - Is there an order from management at BONBC (MSNBC) to continue to demoralize Hillary so you and the gang can try to sway any potential voters to pull the Barack lever? I watched a terrific debate and heard substantive policies and all MSNBC wants to discuss is Hillary's vote in 2004. For God's Sake all we want to do is get out of that god forsaken place as quickly and safe as possible. I thought we were all on the same team but I find that station extremely biased.

LOL, Corey..."old school John Mayer"...?

Yeah. Well...it's business time. I mean , I have to leave for work. Night all. Back in 5.

Beatle alert:

"If you’re out there in deep space, you’ll want to be tuning in at 7 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Feb. 4 (plus however long it takes electromagnetic radiation to reach you from Earth doing the 186,000-miles-a-second speed limit).

That’s when NASA will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of its first space mission — the launch of the Explorer 1 satellite — by using the system of huge antennas that usually listen for inbound signals from space to send one outbound instead: the Beatles’ song “Across the Universe,” which as it happens was mostly recorded exactly 40 years earlier, on Feb. 4, 1968.

Reception will be best in the general direction of Polaris, 431 lightyears away, which is where NASA is aiming the signal. (That would be the North Star to us laymen.) But it ought to be audible in plenty of places on Earth as well, at least by imitation: NASA is encouraging space fans and Beatle fans alike to play the song themselves at the same time."

I'm just saying "hello" from NoVa. I recently discovered this list and have been lurking for the past few days. Love Craig -- he's one of the few who's making any sense lately on these crazy primary races. I will try to comment again if I can think of anything intelligent or clever to add to the conversation.

The public around the world has been invited to participate in the event by playing the song at the same time it is transmitted by NASA.

Old school, cuz they don't write 'em like that anymore. *sigh*

" Clintonista, Billary" and other deliberate derogatory remarks, often with the most extreme sexist spin possible, are being made by many in the net roots and the left wing of the Democratic party.
They make me question if I have a place in this party or even want one.
As I left the Republican party because of its racism, so to can I walk away from the Democratic party for it's sexism. It has become rampant in left wing of this party and I will not be part of it. I won't vote Republican but I don't have to vote Democratic either.
If it was just one poster here , I would just call him a nut case but it is pervasive on every center to left wing blog out there
The interesting thing about walking away from a party is , it gets easier next time.

Jack

Amen Jack. The problem here is that there are two potential "firsts" vying for this historic election. The blacks and the women. Both have been denied the opportunity to really compete for the Presidential nomination. And now, both have a real shot at it, and it has caused a rift between two constituencies that would normally coalesce. Given the news coverage lately I would have to say that I think Obama has the momentum on his side. It doesn't mean Hillary is out. She can still win the nomination. This is still my hope. Unlike some who think that feminists are members of an "estrogen mafia", I think women are also seeing their dream a real possibility and being challenged by corporate media interests. It doesn't matter anymore that Obama started the attacks when his poll numbers were in the toilet. It doesn't matter that Bill Clinton was not playing a race card. Perception becomes reality.

I think also many MEN will support Obama because to them, a woman is not a strong leader. You know the old stereotype of a woman not being able to be trusted with nuclear bomb codes because she could be having a period then and might react emotionally. It's sad, but it's out there.

What can I say? Democracy is messy. Some people could try to stop verbally "knifing" those who support another candidate. We are down to the last two candidates and I think the Dems can be proud of the stature and passion both bring to the table. I firmly believe that the party will heal after the nomination takes place ESPECIALLY if both of them are on the ticket as running mates. Craig calls it "shotgun marriage".

I prefer Clinton/Obama. Others prefer Obama/Clinton. But I think most rational people will see that these two excellent candidates running together would be a POWERHOUSE team leading up to the November elections.

The statistics indeed show the race tightening. I still believe that it's not too late for Hillary. I will be interested to see what Oprah's return to the campaign might mean. Many people still think she walks on water; the Oprah brand is powerful. I don't think her actively campaigning for Obama spells any good news for Hillary.

I would really like to know why so many of Hillary's colleagues in the Senate have endorsed Barack Obama. The Kerry endorsement is worthless, but Ted Kennedy's endorsement I think has a big influence. If it were just him alone, it would be less so, but with John Kennedy's daughter Caroline endorsing and actively campaigning for Obama, a lot of people have stopped and paid attention. I think much of it is simply smart politics. As the colleagues see other people coming out for Obama, they jump on the bandwagon quickly in order to be seen as "early supporters". It should also be acknowledged that some Democratic politicians feel that Hillary as the nominee will hurt their own re-election to office, especially in swing states.

I think Hillary is very likeable. I don't think she is cold, a conniving "bitch" or a dishonest person (any more than any politician is dishonest). I think she is real but is suffering the perception that the Clinton machinery will do anything possible to get the nomination. Given the flack President Clinton has received over his campaigning in South Carolina, it is clear it has hurt Hillary. President Clinton has wisely toned down his approach but I believe there is lasting damage.

This said, I am still behind Hillary 100% and I believe she is the strongest candidate to take our country forward.

Here's a tidbit:

For the first time ever, Al Franken is ahead of Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) in an opinion poll.

The survey conducted by the University of Minnesota puts Franken at 43% to Coleman's 40%

I am damn happy right now. Here's an example of how happy I am.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rju9b_Uk8Sw

I will tell you all about this later today. You may take my happiness as schadenfreude. But , I'm happy anyway.

Perception isn't always reality

The candiate who will do anything to win is Obama
His campaign was willing to paint the Clinton's as racists and use rightwing talking points to smear her.

That's the reality.

Obama may win the nomination. But he will not win the general. The Republicans will turn him into the
a caricature of left and the media which loves him now will turn on him in the general.

When I heard Obama raised 32 million I decided to send Hillary another ten bucks. The small donations add up.

I think that on Tuesday we will see a wave of support for her accross the country.

To me the most important issue is universal health care. Hillary, with our help, will make it happen.

Let's see......Frank Luntz and (gasp) Ann Coulter both indicate towards Hillary.........Luntz is just your garden variety creep, but Coulter? For Hillary over McCain....C'mon, get real......they know they have a chance against Obama.......

Epitaph for a famous Bluesman:

I didnt wake up this mornin'

yall dont mind me.....I'm just grazing......just one more cow in Life's pasture.....

For three minutes on Saturday morning, TV talk show host Montel Williams owned the hosts of Fox and Friends. A former Marine and Naval officer, Montel lectured the stunned hosts on the stupidity of spending air time on the death of Heath Ledger, rather than covering deaths in Iraq. Three minutes into this awkward segment, one host cut off Montel, who did not return after the break. Four days later, after 17 years as a television host, Montel lost his job when Fox-owned stations opted not to renew his show for the 2008-09 season.

sturg, I haven't been around much for a few days, so I have no understanding of the cow comments. Will you kindly clue me in?

and a little note for EuroTom - I seem to have noticed that at least once per thread, your intelligent and thoughtful comments get hijacked by Mary Jo/Teddy comments. It might be more helpful if we could address the 3000+ young people killed in Bush's immoral, purposeful war rather than one young lady who, sadly, died in an awful accident.

Stur,

Thats fascinating about Montel. I didnt know about that.

My Montel moment came in 1994 when i bought a vest because I dug the way he used to wear vests on his show. Its one of the only times I ever let a celebrity influence the way I dressed.

Montel - a huge cut above most of the daytime talk show yakkers. I hope this incident is a springboard for him to bigger and better gigs.

Today it's: Just one more groundhog...

"Bill Maher just said on his show "now that Edwards is out I'm for Obama". Ok Clintonista, tear him from limb to limb. "

This one's almost too easy. :-) He may be funny, but why would anyone take advice from a man who dated Ann Coulter?

NEW THREAD

Good Morning All,

Wow Sturg....Montel is so sad. I'm sorry for that and I wonder how he is going to survive it. He has MS and maybe needs to concentrate on that....or he is one of the best motivational speakers I've ever heard.

When he believes in something, there is no stopping him. I was in the NAVY when he was super recruiter, traveling across the country in his whites. Bigger than life.

Now don't take me wrong. I'm not slamming or bashing or anything.

WJC was in Atlanta yesterday and made this statement.

"She is a world-class change maker. The best I ever saw," Clinton said

I was amused. Because its so southern and its so classic "Used Car Salesman" like. CUTE!

Hillary has taken a lot of heat for her yes vote. So did a lot of high profile dem senators too. Think about it for a minute, if Bush/Cheney and his messed up crew would of handled the war correctly and had a good exit plan this vote would not of been an issue. Obama has said the new Pres should make the right decisions on Day 1, well who would of thought a President would make thesed horrible decisions. Bush still has over 11 months to go, so any plan they come up with now may be hard to execute next January. Hillary is the only one that is trying to do something right away. For everyone's sake we better start making better decisions today, we can't change the past. We made our decisions based on what we thought was right at the time except Bush should of looked a little further ahead than he did. Notice the bombings are starting to pick up again, and if the cease fire does not continue, what a mess we will have. McCain may have a problem running on the surge is working. He better hope Tuesday could not come fast enough.

How about reverse psychology. Coulter knows that any Dem hearing her support Clinton will drive them immediately to Obama, the candidate she knows the Republicans can beat .... gotta think like the snake to know where it is going to strike. :-P

RELOAD NEW THREAD

From the beginning of this campaign, my feeling was that our candidates would be whoever the media decided our candidates would be. With that in mind, I believed it would end up McCain versus Obama. I have hoped and prayed I was wrong but so far, I still think that's true.

I'll assume you all know of Obama's mailer attack on Clinton's health care plan, where a penniless couple are sitting in the kitchen deeply worried about a government demand for payment of compulsory insurance coverage. The line is this is what Clinton will do to you. Pretty dirty.

Then today came this hate-speech from a senior advisor and spokesman for Obama. Funny how the only media outlet that seemed to carry it was the LA Times. Now what does that say about the press? Can you imagine what they'd have done had a Clinton advisor made similar statements about Obama's color or ethnicity?

OBAMA CAMPAIGN SAVAGES CLINTON OVER CRYING AND HER AGE

"(OBAMA) DOESN'T GO ON TELEVISION AND HAVE CRYING FITS. HE ISN'T DISCOVERING HIS VOICE AT THE AGE OF 60."

For today's Los Angeles Times . . . . .

The Times' Peter Wallsten has the details on the pointed remarks made by the Obama counselor, retired Air Force Gen. Merrill "Tony" McPeak.

"(Obama) doesn't go on television and have crying fits. He isn't discovering his voice at the age of 60." ****

McPeak had more to say in a similarly dismissive tone . .
