So says Annie Tokeley!

And, so what's wrong with the nuclear option?? And, what's wrong with a Democratic Republican Party composed primarily of moderate to left leaning Republicans, and moderate to right leaning Democrats?

Seems to me, that takes in the vast majority of voters.

A pox on the Republican extreme right and the Democratic extreme left. Those two wings make truly representative government virtually impossible to achieve.

re-post from the last thread.

no reason to swear Patsi I don't swear at you do I? Your social skills may need some fine tuning.

yo soy Horsedooty!

Yep Craig, bottom line, tomorrow is all about bragging rights, as are all the remaining contests.

unless tomorrow night just happens to turn out to be about winning big.........like the two irishmen who walked out of a bar.......it COULD happen.........

9/11, Got the Britten--many thanks. It's a piece I'm not familiar with so it is doubly appreciated.

When we were doing the Prokofiev I thought of Britten, as you must have, with his Young Peoples' Guide that so often shares billing with Peter's tale.

It will be listened to on the trip!

Gee Flatus I would never wish the pox on you, why are you wishing the pox on me and my fellow lefties.

"Your social skills may need some fine tuning."

I adjust my social skills to match the IQ of Nash and some others around here. And I call BS BS.

Brian, as is befitting the context, I went with the admittedly archaic, but appropriate, usage of 'pox' which is 'misfortune and calamity'.

I certainly wouldn't wish the other kinds of pox on anyone, certainly not a fellow Democrat.

does it require swearing at those that don't swear at you? I find that pretty rude. I would be mighty embarrassed if my mother talked like that to someone that did not talk that way to her.

Besides, I was referencing the post Nash made today because EuroRacistTom (his words) said that Nash forgot to call everyone a racist when if fact today he did not call anyone a racist.

yo soy Horsedooty!

if there were no racism, man would invent some.......

Thanks, Craig, for the numerical breakdown of possibilities for tomorrow's primaries. My point earlier: no real winners, just more whiners until Denver!

So, Doots....you call yourself a Texan and you cringe at a cuss word? As I said, BS is BS. And I was pointing the BS at Nash's usual -- uh -- BS.

eprof2, I wouldn't mind a brokered convention one single bit--if it ended-up supporting the candidate with momentum and the best perceived chance of winning in November. Some of the old conventions were truly exciting--high drama at its best.

Senior Dooty

Craig,

Do I need to clean out my ears? I half heard MoJo say Sen. Clinton would win Indiana well and squeak by a win in NC. Is that what he said?

Flatus, I'm with you. I don't think a rock em sock em convention would hurt the party. McCain wouldn't be able to get a headline if he owned the newspaper.

Disclaimer: That wasnt me.

I figure that mierda doesnt translate well to dooty.......there would have to be a slang word for "poo" in spanish for the proper rendering...........

Good evening all;
Did anyone else notice how the Obama camp manages to make a race claim on the cusp of the primaries? For instance, it was the cusp (eve and morning) of the Mississippi primary when Susan Rice appeared on most major news channels to make claims against Geraldine Ferraro. Again, on the cusp of the Pennsylvania primary, Ms Rice made direct racial claims toward Bill Clinton. Today it was the good Doctor Dean who appeared and made the 'race baiting' charge against the GOP. Certainly the Obama camp put pressure on the DNC chairman this time. Is there a viable pattern dating to the first primaries? It certainly must stir the targeted voters. Anyone else notice?

I just finished walking through the local hoel parking lots looking for tourist cars with Indiana license plates. I left them all notes that said: "Barack Obama says that Peyton Manning is over-rated , Larry Bird was over-rated, Notre Dame sucks and the Indiana Hoosiers suck at basketball." That oughta do the trick!

I'm kidding. Peyton Manning isn't over-rated.

Listening to Joe Scarborough say he thinks Hillary
wins both Indiana & NC(she squeaks by in NC) was
certainly going against the CW--lets hope he has
some insight they are all missing.

For John & Elizabeth Edwards supporters--they gave
an interview to People--and they will not be endorsing
either candidate, but offer some insights as to each
candidate---Something for both Hillary & Obama supporters.

Also, Hillary will be reciting the Top 10 on Letterman
tonite.

Que onda guero?

Hey all

Jamie, your polls seem to show what I saw yesterday with the Obama crowd. They were sounding desperate. Mrs. Obama sounded really bad last night,. I think a compassionate husband would say "Honny , take a break you need a couple of days rest. There is always tomorrow." She looked like my wife after putting together one of her 100 million dollar bid proposals.
LOL
As a wise husband I just let her rant and make sure she gets rest and good food. She usually puts in 3 weeks of 14- 20 hr days at the end.

It is Cinco de Mayo

The Anniversary of the Mexicans kicking the French back to where they come from.

And ya know that ain't a bad thing to drink to.

So a little Tejano music to get us started

Well since it is Cinco de Mayo and I love Ranchero music, lets go with Canciones de mi Padre and Linda Ronstadt

Just work your way through the album once you play the first one.

tequila broke my oldsmobile.

WJack: Cinco de Mayo is the classic example of winning a battle and losing the war. The French went on to install Maximillian as Emperor of Mexico. By the way, Cinco de Mayo is hardly celebrated in Mexico. It's acknowledged all right but Cinco de Mayo became an American celebration when Corona cerveza made it popular 20 or 25 years ago. Most Americans, unfortunately, equate Cinco de Mayo with the Mexican revolutions of either the 1810 from Spain or the 1910 revolution. Not true: Independence days are September 15 and 16 in celebration of separating from Spain in 1810 and not solidified until 1821.

not quite as impressive, as coups go, as whoever invented christmas, but not bad for a beer company.......

Patsi said rudely, "So, Doots....you call yourself a Texan and you cringe at a cuss word? As I said, BS is BS. And I was pointing the BS at Nash's usual"

Patsi,
I was raised to treat everyone equal and with dignity so I won't stoop to using that sort of language with you and I don't expect it aimed at me. Yes, I am a Texan born and bred. I would like to raise this debate in this forum to a level that is at least as equal to our host and his people he works with. I feel your language and rudeness has cheapened this blog and certainly disrespected the host Congressional Weekly. From where I sit you have become a blog bully. You seem very bitter with anyone that does not share your thoughts. This is the last I will speak to this as it is very counter productive.

yo soy Horsedooty!

One of the best days/nights of my life was spent in the company of Robert Coogan (Jackie's baby brother). At the time I met him, he had retired from movies and was living on a yacht in Ensenada harbor as an expatriate and supporting his incidentals by writing articles on how to be a gourmet cook in a galley for marine magazines.

A group of friends would gather to eat, swim and over indulge on weekends. One weekend I had to return to LA early and he offered to drive since my car was staying behind and he had business back in the states.

When a gourmet takes you on a ride, just be thankful you get home in one piece. With the stops in Ensenada, Rosarita, San Diego, and all great Mexican restaurants north complete with more music and food than any human being was meant to consume in a multi hour period, all conversed and presented in fluent Spanish accompanied by eager mariachis all of who know your host - heaven help you if you didn't at least taste or drink.

Once everything wore off, I managed to remember about half of it.

I figure that mierda doesnt translate well to dooty.......there would have to be a slang word for "poo" in spanish for the proper rendering.

oh I understood all of that.

yo soy Horsedooty!

eprof,

Some days you take them when get them.
Yes, I know when to celebrate Mexican Independence day. I live in one of those neighborhoods.

I celebrate it every September with my amigos at Colima Park

One of my success stories from when I was community organizing was a group of Mexicanos most of them from Colima. Together we cleaned out an overgrown trash strewn vacant lot and turned it into a pocket park. If you ever run across a community organizing expert who tells you Mexicans are culturally not able to understand community action(and you will, as I have) tell them they are full of shit for me.

Jack

Senor Dooty

Patsi can come on pretty strong, and sometimes even makes me cringe when I'm on her side, but that wasn't necessary either was it?

WJack, "most Americans" did not include present company. I don't know that I've ever come across a community organizer making those kinds of statements inasmuch as I live in Arizona and the community organizers are, for the most part, Mexican Americans. The AZ Republic reported this morning that AZ is now 30 percent Hispanic, the overwhelming majority of whom are Mexicanos and/or their decendents, including my own family's history.

Jamie you are one seriously devoted masochist. You constantly bitch about KO and yet keep watching him. Just change the channel dear.

Jamie
Great album it introduced me to Mexican music
A you tube connection from there
Lola Beltran..."MI GUSTO ES"...

Carville was just on CNN and I am a little confused by what he said. He said when is the Delegate count more important than the popular vote. I agree that the popular vote should be more important but the way the crazy dems set this up that is not the case. So was he just spinning or does he know something I don't know.

Jamie
Great album it introduced me to Mexican music
A you tube connection from there
Lola Beltran..."MI GUSTO ES"...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atgy5_dlmCU

Ah, WJack, you've just struck the strings of my heart. Lola Beltran's Cucurrucucu Paloma is the very best ever sung by any singer. Mexicanos really miss this first lady of Mariachi. (By the way, the word mariachi comes from the time when Maximillian was marrying Carlotta in the new city of Guadalajara and the Mexicans slurred the word marriage for the new music.)

if it was carville said it, then there's something to it........

Brain damaged,

I haven't been watching him lately, but did want to check out what he had to say the evening before the election. He really has gotten all swolled up and ego infected.

How can this be causing damage to the party. Look at the turnouts at these rallies. Tomorrow they will get the most voters they ever had. The interest level is so high. If it was causing damage then no one would be interested. The networks are crazy. Why do they want to say this. They are hurting themselves. Why would they want their ratings to go down the tubes and people turnout for a few months until after the conventions. This is great for their ratings. I don't understand their loigic.

so Jamie you don't think her mouth disrespects Congressional Weekly and Craig? What does it do?

yo soy Horsedooty!

I just don't believe Carville was spinning. I believe he knows something is going on there but I don't know what. I wish he had more time but they cut him off.

ratings? what do they care for ratings.........they are out to see that the country does what it is told..........

vadaryl,

Most producers are brain dead. They really want only ONE STORY to tell. When there are multiple stories with shades of meaning and emphasis, the poor dears get really confused, unhappy, and twitchy.

This election has been breaking all the rules that have existed for at least the last forty years. The programmers are really, really unhappy. How can you plan for ratings if the darn story keeps changing?

I think FOX has treated her better than MSNBC.

I got new computer glasses and I can see again.Really makes a difference.

My friend still watches MSNBC and complains all the time.I check it from time to time but I usually end up turning it off.It's a good thing too with the weather so nice.Can't waste my time listening to Lovefest for Obama
Ruth

My mistake Bigot in the Basement since you constantly bitch about Tweety and KO I assumed you just have them on an endless loop. Try not to get too swolled up with yourself.

Yesterday must of been the best day for the Sunday morning shows. They would never have had the ratings they got if this ended a few months ago. The head execs are brain dead if they don't see that. They could have great Sundays all the way to August.

Question: Is all of this drama about the swearing over Patsi saying BS? Cause I have seen much worse than that in the last few weeks on the blog. Why are we giving Patsi so much grief? Or did she use worse than BS somewhere and I missed it? What's the deal?

"so Jamie you don't think her mouth disrespects Congressional Weekly and Craig? What does it do?"

There are mouths and mouths. Patsi's language gets rough and there are those who use gentler words to inflict worse damage. I've been called a racist several times simply for being guilty of supporting Sen. Clinton. That has hurt me deeply and the person responsible thinks there is no need to at least say, "I went too far".

Someway Dooty, we have to repair this rift in the party and ripping each other to shreds isn't the way to do it.

Senor Dooty

"Bigot in the Basement " See what I mean? You don't have to swear to be vicious and we all know the synonym of vicious is Brian.

FOX just showed a picture of William Ayers standing on a American flag. This should shacke a few people up. They are going to talk about it soon.

Excuse me jamie, I made no snotty remarks to you or tried calling you smart ass names, you started it with "Brain damaged". You sit on your high horse all day while we few Obama supporters are insulted left and right by your buds 9/11 and patsi, and the like, making snotty little jokes about their comments. You a phony, get over yourself already, and crawl back in your hole.

It looks like FOX is trying to get that Ayers story out there. Hannity has been on it for months and now this picture surfaces. FOX is showing it again. It is a disturbing photo.

Brian..Perhaps you need to turn off your computer for a little while.
Go outside, get some fresh air in your lungs.
It is not good for you to be so angry so much of the time.
Then you can come back and express your views in a more measured manner.

I can't police the whole thing but if it is directed at me I will point out how rude it is. Someone called me a pendejo for defending Nash which I don't see that I did. I just pointed out he did not use those words today. Then she started with her mouth. Did you notice the atmosphere on this blog when she was not here? Most of the venom was gone was it not. Soon as she showed up again there it goes. See smoke = fire

yo soy Horsedooty!

I have had loads of deadlines today so I might have missed a link to Hillary's MOJO appearance but here it is in case some of you missed it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeWvGKPgzng&feature=user

Radiant. Those are the only words to describe her. She has really hit her stride. Bummer that it might not be enough but right now she is just enjoyable to watch. Kind of reminds me of Joe Biden having fun early on in the campaign.

OD perhaps you need to stop standing by the roadside waving that Clinton sigh, the exhaust fumes have destroyed the few brain cells you have, and they don't come back.

OK Doots. I came in late...had my feet to the fire with deadlines all day long and couldn't exactly pinpoint where things went off the rails. I see that I missed the exchange...

Brian,

You have called me racist. You have repeatedly insulted me. Way back when I was one of your supporters and only because I chose to support a candidate other than yours you have been repeatedly viscious and degrading.

I choose to control my tongue because you really don't want to know what I originally typed. You have hurt me. You will not apologize. You are not forgiven. If you want to be treated differently, then "I'm reall y sorry and I was wrong" is in order.

Anything less,...... censored for effect.

If anybody lives near Brian..get him out of his apartment.

I'm 3000 miles away and there is little I can do for him.

It is a beautiful evening. I think I will take my signs out for an hour. I think I can spare the brain cells.

Cause you are a racist Jamie, you ooze hatred to anyone who isn't like you or disagrees with. Whether it's the people who pick your lettuce, the black guy who is running for president, or your endless contestant stream of vitriol directed at MSNBC. You spend your day typing out hatred. Start taking a cold hard look at yourself, and then crawl back in your hole.

Has anybody seen this picture. Any thoughts?

brian.....that sounded just like Cartman...........lol

Vadaryl: What picture?

south park is ha ha........doing "great expectations".......

William Ayers. Also they just had a Obama supporter LIZ Chadderdon on and she said it was the first she ever heard of the guy. She saId she must not watch FOX news enough, what it was a big story after the debate. I don't believe this.

Here is a link about Liz.

Okay everybody. Sit up and pay attention. This is what I get from Brian. Understand that he knows absolutely nothing about me. He doesn't know where I have marched, fought, known or experienced.

All he knows is his own evil and degradation.

Who do you believe?

g

Jaime-Brian is in a bad mood because he knows the party is over. CNN&MSN are pulling out all the stops. Tom. night they will see how much the nation listens to them. Yea MoJo,Carville,Lanny!

Frankly Jamie,

Both of you are crazy......Push you ignore button....this too shall pass.......Brother!

BTW what is up with that Katrina Van den something? What a b***h! Is there anything worse than being so obviously jealous of Hillary. These "talking heads" would have some credibility if they weren't so painfully pleading Obama's case. Was it GAKaren who said poor widdle Obama! Boo Hoo

seems like a fitting moment to quote our friend Ben Franklin, whose words helped break the deadlock of warring factions at the constitutional convention:

"On this occasion let us doubt a little of our own infallibility"

nite all

Sheila
Brian is a worthless idiot when he is stone/drunk or both. Tonight it looks like he is both
When sober he can make a reasonable argument but not tonite. He is just an indefensible fool

Mean while yesterday your man looked scared. Michell reminded me of 1972 when the McGovernites were begging the faithful to just show up and a miracle would happen.
He is on top, Yes?

Why the hysteria?

Jack

;0) Well Timed Craig, Well timed indeed.

Chef Sheila

I will not. This is simply too important. I have never in my life hated anyone because of the shade of their skin, and that goes back to somewhere about 1950

I have joined with a wife to bandage a black man's legs becuse he was afraid of doctors to treat his 3 degree burns. I have been to too many funerals. I have marched in too many lines and I have loved too many people.

If you wish to support the NY asshole, go ahead. But he knows nothing about me, my life or my feelsings, and abject groveling and apology will just barely make up some degree of "I'm sorry".

the believer is happy.....the doubter is wise.

--old hungarian proverb

Jack and you can press the ignore button too.....Geez.........

night craig.

You are welcome Nick!

Jamie: Keep your chin up. If it makes some Obama supporters feel better to assume we are all racists for not jumping on the Hope Float, so be it. I know my heart and I am comfortable with my choice. You should be too. I choose my choice! I choose my choice! I choose my choice! (That is from Sex and the City BTW.)

I am off to bed...I did way, way too much work today.

Jamie isn't it dinner time out there? No one likes cold cud, go eat.

sheila
I do, often but it doesnt change the truth

Jack

Jamie,

The reason I don't hang out here anymore is because of the hatred I feel with about 90% of the posting here.

I like to enjoy myself and at least 90% of you are intent to make mince meat of the "Nasty Obama Supporters".....

I have begun to enjoy simple email and reading the newspapers. Maybe you should too.

And maybe you should meet me on the other side of the GE. ;0)

"Jamie isn't it dinner time out there? No one likes cold cud, go eat."

Does anyone need more proof.

All the Brian defenders. He is smart. He is funny. He uses those talents to injure others. I will not be one of the ones he injures.

I don't know who shredded this poor, poor man who now thinks that diminishing others enhances himself, but they should be sorry.

Moooooooooooooooooo

Jamie, Jack,

I'd like to point something out and then I will fall back into the shadows.

You just defended Patsi against Doots. Completely allowing what was said today, then you want to "Do as I say And Not As I DO" action with Brian.

I'd say its calling the kettle black. Like I said, see you in better happier times.

next time you all, and I mean ALL spend the better part of a day Obamaslamming and Brian gets your goat, just remember me and othes who thought had earned friendship over politics and found out the hard way that this is not so.

May sound bitter but I'm not. just waaaay over it.

Speaking of heifers, Kiki Mc whatever on CNN

Well, well, Bri-Bri.

Jamie's exploring race doesn't make her a racist any more than your many, many years of selling drugs made you a druggist.

By the way...

Nice Eddie Haskell imitation tonight.

Suits you better than any of your other endless pretensions.

Jamie,
I know it hurts to be called racist but consider the source. He isn't worth your time and do not let him drive you off this blog like he has others. He is mearly a small child who can only get people to acknowledge his presence if he is snotty and throws tantrums. The people who make excuses for him are only enablers but apparently even they can't give him the attention he craves so he has to come here. Otherwise they would all stay on their private little email chats and leave the rest of us alone. Sheila is trying to lure you away...don't pay any attention to her. If she wants to go off and read her newspapers, etc. that is great but we need you here.

Sheila

I didn't defend Patsi. Go back and read.

It is amazing that any slights from the opposition are overlooked. If you want me to rein in a Patsi, then you better damn well rein in a Brian.

We are (I thought) friends. He has injured me. Is that okay with you?

eprof,
If your still out there
To be honest I am just posting things that sound good to me I know nothing about the music

Not to worry. Most of the time, he just makes me giggle simply because he is so pathetic in his need for approval. It I knew a good psychiatrist in NYC, I would refer him.

As it is, I simply get on with my life.

No Jamie,

I didn't read your remark as anything but allowance of Patsi's remarks.

There are many rude people here. Maybe you just got innoculated and don't realize what rudeness is anymore.

And I think we are aquaintences. I haven't felt real friendship from you in over a year. Maybe someday.

But like Horsey Dooty who IS my friend, I call em like I see em.

You guys like to egg Brian on, so keep slinging the slog back, it was out of my hands a long long time ago and YOU of all peope know that.

Sheila, Jamie is too invested in being a victim, don't waste your key strokes, spewing hatred and painting herself the victim is what her life is about. The media is out to destroy Clinton,, the Obama supporters have the nerve to organize and win caucuses, the party elders have a lot of nerve thinking that the rules matter, the coffee colored undocumented, the black man who has the nerve to run when everyone knows it's Hillary's "turn", blah blah blah. This is what happens when people look to outside events to some how justify what has happened in their own lives.

Ya know the only Obasma supporter in here that doesn't whine is Rezdog. He's a bad ass mother. I think I whoop on him some day. ;-0
Mean while I'm too damn drunk.

Tick, tick, tick. Can you hear it Clintonites? Less than a month before your candidate joins the list of failed Democratic candidates. Go get Billary campaign items. I hear they're going for a nickel on eBay.

Bri-Bri,

Jamie has raised several generations of children, spirits, levels of professional accomplishment and personal horizons in her life.

All you ever manage to do is raise eyebrows and your own damn THC level.

You just hate accomplished people, don't you?

Starting with C-Bob who you knew was DYING and in pain... and you had to harass him out of her so you could make this your pigpen.

Jamie pot is not a drug, get a clue

Well that rich Jamie,

Seeing as how I was defending Doots in the first place and we were talking about Patsi's remarks and your Acquiescence......but if you can't admit what is going on here, then so be it.

Brian can always and will always be able to defend himself. He's done a great job of deflecting so far.

Go ahead and demonize the rest of us and just because we support the other Democratic candidate.

First off, each one of us here believes in our heart that our candidate provides the best chance for the future of this country.

We are ALL aware of the critical challenges this Country faces and understand how much THIS election matters.

I certainly admit that I have let my heart and my passion for the candidate I support cloud my judgment and cause me to say stupid things about the other great Americans running for president - who, along with supporters all over - are working their asses for for what they believe is in the best intersts of this country.

I support Barack Obama for President because I think he is the best President for these times.

Obama has handled himself with grace and determination, has shown his flaws, and has won support all over the country and is building a whole new generatation of Democrats.

The Democratic base is already energized. I discount the notion that the fights between Clinton and Obama supporters will cause people to stay home. Those supporters are just becoming more and more invested in this process and they will unite to stand against the GOP. Clinton's ardent supporters will not simply walk away - they will bring the fight to the Republicans.

A few other points:

-Obama will attract anti-war Independents and Republicans, whose numbers are significant.

-Obama will be able to draw a sharp contrast with John McCain so that the Republican attack machine cannot blur the lines.

-Obama is the strongest to debate McCain on Iraq. Most observers agree that this has been Obama's greatest strength in the debates with Clinton.

Clinton supporters: Do you really want to go over to the other side and start paroting back the conventional wisdom that the youth vote can't make a difference? The youth does not make a difference when it is disaffected - it needs to be INSPIRED. And from what I've seen . . . it is not only young Americans that Obama is inspiring.

Obama IS calling a whole NEW generation to arms. This will not only impact this election - it will CHANGE the future. Both in terms of votes and public service. I believe that the energy shown by the Clinton and Obama supporters alike (as well as those for all the candidates) - can be parlayed effectively after the general election. Not everyone of course - but even a percentage of that energy could do the world a lot of good.

How can Obama make a REAL CHANGE to the way politics is conducted in Washington - you ask?

Because the new American Majority that votes for him in this election - including Democrats, Independents and Republicans, along with the growing cadre of new-age leaders on both sides of the aisle that support him - will all make sure that politicians who get in the way of OUR mandate will be cast aside - no matter who they are.

And that mandate is quite simple:

-END the Bush Doctrine and EVOLVE American Foreign Policy

-Make HEALTHCARE more AFFORDABLE and ACCESSIBLE - IMMEDIATELY - and get us on the road towards UNIVERSAL healthcare

-Stop the trickle down ECONMICS and open the
floodgates through TAXES and EDUCATION

Right, Bri-Bri.

Pot is not a drug.

And you are not an addict.

If you say it, it is so.

You must be the happiest kid this side of George W. Bush.

Brian,

Find a life. I woudl match you day for day. You seem to barely have a life. I retired from the intensity of sme same 20 years ago and still have enough memories to last me for the next 30 years ... poor you

In my 65 years I have hurt more, loved more, felt more than you can even barely imagine. So pathetic you... go get a clue.

As always, for the Clinton supporters...

Sheila,

Please dont let brian destroy us. He is good at that, and it is what he does. He likes to injure and make mincemeat of those who would otherwise reach an accomdation..

Listen to this. We have been there and done that. Please don't those who like ohly their emptiness destroy what works

read the discussion first before you jump in with both feet. Then you won't look so foolish
This whole thing started with Eurotom tweaking Nash's nose for not including his usual "Hillary is a racist "comment as he has done for the last whenever.

Dooty decided to be all offended for Nash, why? maybe because he started partying too early.

Patsi, rightly said this.
"Bullshit, Doots. Nash calls Hillary supporters racists every time he jumps off the short bus. And this man is actually in charge of some of this nation's "education."'

Then Doots started to become all offended. If he is that tender then he should stay off the frickin' internet.

Then Brian stoned and drunk weighs in making the usual fool of himself.
In the middle of this some where Jamie critisies Patsi and others for being too rough on Dooty.
The Brian does his stupid attack on Jamie calling her a racist and all of the sudden you jump in and defend Brian.

Now your claiming to be offended and You are whinning about how mean the HRC people are.

Please!!!! Give Me A frickin break!!!!

Go read the whole thing. Dooty, Brian and Nash are all grown up people. They don't need you jumpinjg in when you don't even know what is going on.
It is getting tiresome

Jack

Imagine how much energy we waste on Realty TV....

(guilty as charged ; )

I mean Reality Television...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality_television

(I have always been a fan of the "real world")

And jack,

You are rude too. I'm not a whiner. Never have been and never will be. I'm just not afraid of calling it how I see it.

Now, you guys want to see what you want to see. You all tend to love to engage any Obama supporter. That is all there is too it and Doots made a good point at the rudeness here.

I am backing him up. I like free speech and if you don't like my standing here and making my peace, well then ignore me. Simple as that.

YOu read 6 months back. I was whining then. This is not whining. its defending my friend Horsedooty.

I'd say, why don't you look with the colored lens off and see what we see.

And I am not going away and I'm going to make my presence known. I am not going to run and hide. i'm going to keep excersizing my freedom of expression.

That's what Craig encourages afterall.

BTW Jack,

If its getting tiring, Why don't you think about that. There must be something that doesn't pass the smell test if Obama Supports, "Who Used To Be a Part" of this daily blog are disenfranchised and really trying to come back.

There must be a reason why we Fight for a place here and you guys are fighting it.

Thanks Craig for allowing discension in the ranks, so to speak. Now if you will excuse me, time for bed ;0)

Jamie:

"Sheila,

Please dont let brian destroy us. He is good at that, and it is what he does. He likes to injure and make mincemeat of those who would otherwise reach an accomdation.."

Brian supported Edwards from the get-go - not Obama. (nothing personal Brian - I got no problem with a warrior ; )

And all you Clintonites who cry about Obama's "attacks" - Edwards said the same things - only sharper!!

"Think Clinton's plan to suspend the gas tax temporarily is a bad idea? A similar measure in Illinois -- which Obama backed -- seems to have helped consumers."

http://www.salon.com/opinion/feature/2008/05/06/gas_tax/

Warren.....let me define this one more time......

I have not been arguing about Brian tonight. He can take care of himself.

My entire tirade tonight has been about this communities rudeness and disregard for US.

Dooty was the subject I chose to defend. Now, stop injecting Brian into my tirade, OK?

Because as Obama said, he learned from what happened in Ill. it didn't work! Lord knows the easy political thing for Obama to have done was said sure, gas tax holiday, go for it. But instead he stood up for the right thing, that's what's known as integrity.

Sheila there is the whine,

Dooty was stupid, he was called on it.
Then he started whining because someone said BS. He is not that frail a flower and you know it. Everything you've done since is silly.
As I said Dooty can work himself out of his own stupidity.
Read for content
To be honest ever since I've come here all I've seen is you and Dog complaining about how badly you've been treated and I've not seen it happen to either one of you. So I'm through, I've said my piece and am going to say no more.

Goodby , goodluck

Sheila:

"My entire tirade tonight has been about this communities rudeness and disregard for US."

It politics.

(One of the forbibidden topics - such as religion, sex and Yankee's vs. Red Sox ; )

And conviction always leads to rudeness and disregard for those that disagee.

(At least without understanding where the "other" side is coming from....)

Good Night Jack, Have a great night!

Jack,

My hard licker days are over. I'll do some shots on special occasions, but I gave up the booze quite a few years back. If we have to kill ya it's generally margaritas on the rocks. and i just get the best cheapest Cuervo.

The Viva Obama video was a gag , bit i do enjoy mariachis. i've spent some time in mexico.; DF, Yucatan back in the 70s.. use to get blasted in Girabaldi Sq. and request the mariachis.

Jamie:

"In all my years I have hurt more, loved more, felt more than you can even barely imagine."

The beautiful thing is that we can all make that argument (honestly)...

(I took some liberty with your words ; )

Rez LOL

I understand

I'm much the same way. Just sip on the good stuff once and a while.
At $50 a bottle for those tequilas i mentioned, I only sip.

If you are in a bar that has one of them it will be worth the time to sip one.
I was not a tequila drinker untill I tried them.
But a bottle last me a couple of years.

I've just kinda rowdyed on down these days.

This whole gas tax holiday is funny. . give everyone a few bucks before elections. This is an old ploy in Indian Country.

Don't know if many here know but with the recent growth in gaming, most tribes put out a "per cap" (per capita payment ) several times a year. Even prior to gaming, revenues from leasing , minerals ,etc., just like gaming revenues, would be shared the same way. Now they're larger and more frequent.

Point is, just like clockwork, right before any election, the incumbent tribal council members running for re-election will "share the wealth' with a per cap one week before elections to help their efforts. It's funny seeing this happen with the everyone else so blatantly with our most important election.

Rez considering the Clintons made 20 million last year you'd think they'd be willing to shell out more than a measly 30 bucks per vote!

President Clinton has been the "small town ambassador"...he was at two small towns very near me Saturday for one-hour rallies. ( I live on the OH-IN state line)
Monday he hit about seven NC towns for rallies...I just hope he doesn't collpase from fatigue.
It was four years ago when he had his bypass surgery with post-op complications...they must have done a perfect job on his heart.
A crisis isn't when a millionaire's portfolio diminishes a few points, it's when workers have to quit jobs because they cannot afford gas to get to work.
Hillary says the oil companies should pay the 18 cents rollback and pundits and economists say the 18 cent rollback comes from the fix-the-infrastructure funds.
It's easy to preach about parking the car and riding a bicycle , and that works in places like where I lived for a year, Vietnam, but of course in this diverse nation it's ridiculous to tell a Texan to park the pickup truck and ride a subway cuz there hain't no subway.
What's really sad is that there is no solution for NOW. Tom Friedman's rants don't help a single mom who has an old car that gets 16 mpg and has to drive 15 miles to get to work...we have a problem with no solutions, only pie-in-the-sky writings about expensive super-diesels small car engines and hydrogen cars and battery powered cars that run off a clean grid...all pipe dreams now.
All we can do is STRUGGLE and watch the US government give more aid to Saudi Arabia, as if they need it.
Maybe it's the Singulair I take every night for my asthma...where's my rope?

Obama threw a party at Headwaters Park in Fort Wayne the other day . The campaign held a free picnic with bratwurst and chips and bottled water and canned soda...hundreds lined up for the food and there was plenty left over. Pictures on this website if ya wanna see 'em.

Rez, Dex

I understand the ins and out of the gas situation
I lived through the last itme. I had a lot less money to survive at the time.
It will blow over eventually.

Rez your right.
what I'm amazed about is that we haven't seen the republicans doing even more. If it had been Bush senior in Kansas this weekend instead of just handing out diplomas to a few senoirs. He would have had millions of dollars in gov. contracts. We aren't seeing it.
Maybe later deeper in the elction cycle.

Big sunny good morning evryone..............

As promised, I will give my predictions for today....

Here we go

Indiana. HRC will win by 9%

North Carolina. HRC will win by 2%

Can I get an AMEN? Come on....who is with me

What in the world happened????????????Is there a parallel blog/universe? I'm not the only one who missed insults and nastiness, and suddenly there is fury and pain in this blog.

There are a couple of you who like to rag on each other and it seems you can do it safely at times - is it really just drugs booze and hyper-sensitivity???. I am acquainted with all those factors and know that they shouldn't destroy what should be an enjoyable discussion of the current political climate and activities. It's not as if any of us is super conservative or a Bushy. If anyone is looking for a fight or a target, there are SO many blogs out there for you. Hold your fire for McCain - you'll be happy you did.

Joe Scarborough is really a Hillary fan and I wouldn't be surprised if he voted for her, given a chance. Pat
Buchanan also has respect for her, but he's too good an old-world Catholic to vote for her. I really enjoy all the insight these real veterans of electoral wars have to donate.

I don't need to hear Hillary praised, but I do need not to hear her be the villain while every mistake of Obama's is greeted with sympathy and understanding. Just be even and not judgemental - that's all we should need.

I'm with you, Jason!
And if she wins NC...it will be a Cristal evening (darn, this election is getting expensive!)

~Gidget

Bethyboo

Joe and Pat are Republican and they will vote that way.
I've seen Joe express admiration for competant politics, and HRC is currently playing a good game. But just because he points this out doesn't mean that next week he will still be enthralled by her.

It got a little tense here tonight....but after snoopying around Daily Kos and Huffington (and a couple others)today, the level of vitriol is lower here than elsewhere.

I'm not sure how big a fan Joe S is of HRC....he was pretty Obama-slanted early in the campaign...his tone seemed to change after the Reverend Wright debacle.
The talking head that's unnerving me is Bill Kristol...his positive remarks regarding HRC are so out of character (not that he has a lot of character)

~Gidget

There were no more insults than usual and they were mostly from the same sources. You will come to know them as you hang a
