I just can't hop on this bandwagon this morning. The Rs will slap lipstick on some pig this summer
who most cozies up to the * agenda so they can salvage their tattered honor. They will trot it out and tell us this spankin' new purtied up porker is a change. It'll still be the same old same old stinkin' hog with a different name. Nevertheless, the BFEE's mission is preserved until they think the public has developed enough amnesia to make Jebbie palatable.

In the meantime, we Dems are busy creating our own dynasty and trying to call it democracy. It started the minute Gore lost in 2000. The marshalling has been steady since then with the undercurrent of somehow the Clinton family is entitled to some type of vindication.

Look, I'm just sick to death of this revolving door between these two families. I am totally fed up with it. You wring your hands about 51-49 mini majorities. Well, be prepared for more of the same. If the faces both parties put forward this time represent the same old agendas with a sprinkle of glitter on them, then we will stuck in this rut. The scripts will still be the same and the ensembles will reconstitute themselves.

1. Yeah,
Bill Clinton was born into the ruling class. His poor Mama and dead father really taught him how to lead.

Did you come up with this idea yourself? Because it's been posted here about 1000 times.

2. I'm entitled to my opinion. And this is the way I feel about
this selection process. Dynasties in American usually aren't created by class--witness the Kennnedys. I believe old Joe was a bootlegger. Perhaps if this belief has been posted "1000 times" it is because others also hold this legitimate concern.

5. and I can find
>1000 posts on the internet that say FDR was a communist, or that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian. Don't mistake volume for truth.

6. Exactly, what are you trying to imply?
I say we disagree. Is that alright with you?

8. it's fine if we disagree!
that's the main reason I come here.

But your OP implied that because you can find a lot of internet trash-talk, that you're right. I'm just pointing out that what you find in the 'net is not a reliable pointer to the truth.

Hell, I read a few hundred posts here saying Edwards would win in NH tonight.

9. Why should you assume that I could not formulate these thoughts on my own
and that I could only have gotten them from the internet? I've said this before, on these boards, and many months ago. I am not heavily invested in the Clintons. I think that this party would be better served by fresh ideas and new faces.

3. Nice to see.....
that Hillary haters are coming up with new and creative ways to bash her without even mentioning her name.

Just think, if that creative energy could be harnessed for positive purposes we might have an unbreakable Democratic majority in our country! Ahhhh..... if only.
