@@@ OFFICIAL SOUTH CAROLINA SOFA FIGHT #6 @@@

[THUNDER HANDS]

on the couch and ready for WAR!!!

[Catherine Vincent]

1. First!

[Catchawave]

Thanks for keeping these threads moving M'rat !

:hi:

[THUNDER HANDS]

2. Was Clinton the first homie prez?

Obama: Fo shizzle

[SeattleGirl]

4. ........

:rofl:

[ellisonz]

8. .....

:spray:

[More Than A Feeling]

11. Magic Rat wins the internets!

That was awesome.

[ellisonz]

46. The Gore-Stevens Prize.

"I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday. Why? Because it got tangled up with all these things going on the internet commercially. <...> They want to deliver vast amounts of information over the Internet. And again, the Internet is not something you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand those tubes can be filled and if they are filled, when you put your message in, it gets in line and it's going to be delayed by anyone that puts into that tube enormous amounts of material, enormous amounts of material."

[knight_of_the_star]

192. Whazzup homeslice!

Magic Rat :yourock:

[Peregrine Took]

3. I think when they are sitting down it isn't nearly as interesting.

[OneGrassRoot]

10. I don't know...they seem calmer to me. Obama is coming across...

much better at this stage.

[aaronbees]

31. This is good for them....

To relax after the fisticuffs. This is how we Democrats need to be with each other come November.

[David Zephyr]

5. Barack is so charming. He's the real deal.

So proud of Senator Obama.

[Kahuna]

26. Me too. I don't care how the media spins this. This is Obama's best

debate yet, IMO.

[calmblueocean]

179. I think so, too. His performance was so profoundly different and more honest than the others.

They played the game of politics while he spoke from the heart. That's how it seemed to me anyway.

[THUNDER HANDS]

6. Hillary: attack...attack...attack... make nice ...attack...attack...attack

[HughMoran]

9. Are you watching the same debate?

There was no attack in 5 minutes - ??

[HughMoran]

12. Oh, you think it was "make nice" time

gotcha

[Catchawave]

17. She's doing fine, I really like her tonight.

[HughMoran]

7. Obama is competitive

(in his own words)

[JohnnyLib2]

13. I'm a hopeful Democrat again tonight.

These are impressive people.

[annabanana]

14. C'mon John. . .Don't let them make a potted plant of you!!

[HughMoran]

15. Women of color make 67 cents?

I know, of the same dollar a white male makes... :D

[Nimrod2005]

16. My mom just called HRC a thug!

[K Gardner]

19. ROFLMAO ! ^5 your mom for me.

[annabanana]

21. (didn't she do that a couple threads ago?)

[Renew Deal]

30. lol, what for?

[More Than A Feeling]

18. He was born in South Carolina! Drink!

[K Gardner]

22. MILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[THUNDER HANDS]

25. i can't...he mentioned the mill again

I ran out.

[BuyingThyme]

20. The country is starting to realize that Dems are a completely different species than Pukes.

That's the feeling I'm getting here. You simply cannot compare those old, nasty, crazy men on the other side to the people on stage today.

[LizW]

23. Is John still there? Or has he been escorted away?

[Ikonoklast]

24. I was liking the cage match until this rest period

Everyone making nice now.

[Yael]

32. It was staged. Everyone gets to yell, now it is group hug and party unity time.

[Yael]

27. Worked in the mill -- take a drink!

[Kahuna]

33. Hic. I'm getting woozy.

:beer:

[Yael]

41. LOL!

[Renew Deal]

28. WTF is Edwards saying that "we don't talk about either."

What does that mean?

[OzarkDem]

34. It means some Dems talk a good game but dodge difficult issues

[Fresh_Start]

101. he lost me for a minute too

he was talking about how we as a society ignore the fact that many Americans suffer in substandard neighborhoods
he said no one should have to live with poor schools or high crime
but right now, only the wealthy can escape bad neighborhoods
the poor get stranded there

[NJSecularist]

29. BOOOOOO

Another mill work reference. Get some new material, John.

[readmoreoften]

39. Right... And Obama should stop talking about being African American. /nt

[Catchawave]

40. People are "meeting" him for the first time tonight.

[K Gardner]

35. Ouch.. hubby question ! Will she triangulate? Ah yes...

[JohnnyLib2]

36. Clenis redux!

[Yael]

37. Hillary -- Are you going to tell Bill to STFU? LOL!

[K Gardner]

47. Oh my.. she did NOT just compare Michelle & Elizabeth to BILL ! Poor response. Deflection.

[HughMoran]

38. Is Bill overshadowing you?

[Ikonoklast]

Hillary just gets smacked with Bill

And sidesteps it completely.

[HughMoran]

51. I'd hope so

Are you wanting her to be a moron? (don't answer that)

[HughMoran]

42. He's a good advocate, besides, he get's none if he don't do what I say

:rofl:

[tishaLA]

43. Going after Bill now! Hillary just smiles

like a Cheshire cat

[Mist]

44. Body language: Obama really doesn't like HRC, HRC trying to be diplomatic,

Edwards being neutral.

[Yael]

45. Hillary -- ready on day 1 drink (avoiding the Bill STFU question)

[Madam Mossfern]

68. She did not answer the question

Obama brings it to misinformation coming from Bill. Now he's just blathering....waiting to hear if Edwards will be allowed to weigh in on this.

[Madam Mossfern]

82. Edwards

Good going John..bring up your strength in polls against McCain and in rural areas. Go John.

[Kahuna]

48. "On day one.." Take a drink!

:beer:

[peoli]

52. Obama and Edwards not ready till day 2!

[Yael]

57. LOL!

[Yael]

55. I'll drinl to that. LOL!

[Kahuna]

60. Ha ha. I edited the title in that other posf..

:rofl:

[peoli]

49. "He is a tremendous ***et"

[grantcart]

50. so I guess the answer is that she will be ready to control

bill on "day 1" doubtful lol

[K Gardner]

59. ROFL

[Yael]

65. LOL!

[Glimmer of Hope]

53. I hate these non-issue questions.

[Kahuna]

54. Hillary: "35 years.." Take a drink!

:beer:

[grantcart]

69. kahuna drinking ever time you hear 35 years

you will not make it another 35 minutes call 911

[Kahuna]

76. LOL! Hic,

:rofl:

[More Than A Feeling]

56. It's hard to pay attention to the debate, when you all are being so witty here.

shame on you!

[Yael]

61. I have more fun with this -- and watch the debate in full later. :-D

[HughMoran]

58. Obama sez... campaign vigorously but... I am troubled... with my record being distorted

:(

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

62. Let's not take on the republicans...

[OzarkDem]

63. Obama talks of things he will do, but hasn't done in the Senate - yet again

[HughMoran]

64. Obama!

:boring: :boring: :boring: :boring:

[Inspired]

66. OK....what about the issues?

[tekisui]

67. Pukes Suck Ass. Obama agrees.

[HughMoran]

72. That was a real leap huh?

:rofl:

[HughMoran]

70. zzzzzzzzzzzz

:boring:

[More Than A Feeling]

71. Here we go! Edwards hitting the McCain argument!

Go John!

[HughMoran]

79. Edwards gonna win in the South

Well, good luck fellow - I don't see how this helps since he's not getting the nomination :(

[bullwinkle428]

73. Edwards already talking about how to face McCain!

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

78. I want a split screen of Romney watching that observation

[More Than A Feeling]

99. He'll kick Romney's ass even worse! Or better!

The point is, John Edwards will rock Mitt Romney's world!

[Yael]

74. Edwards on beating John McCain -- take a drink

[More Than A Feeling]

77. Oh, we're drinking on that too?

Sweeet

[grantcart]

burp

[Yael]

83. Shit -- why not. Of course, I am having Iced Tea. Have to work in the AM

[OzarkDem]

81. He's making good points - Clinton and Obama aren't competitive against GOP

in many parts of the country.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

75. Not just a primary, it's really about selecting a nominee

[More Than A Feeling]

84. He should have said, the REpublicans are fucked, the Dem nominee

will be president. The GE is a formality.

[OzarkDem]

103. Pretty naive

This race will be very different after the primary and only a fool would count the GOP out.

[More Than A Feeling]

But the people love chest thumping between parties.

The republicans have done it alone for too long.

[OzarkDem]

111. Prefer to see us win this time

instead of just thumping our chests.

[THUNDER HANDS]

85. how profound

[maddiejoan]

87. John Edwards

"I have a white penis"

[Yael]

90. Down boy

[OzarkDem]

WTF?

That's crazy. Sorry your candidate isn't doing well.

[maddiejoan]

191. My candidate did wonderfully.

Lighten up --it's a freakin' joke

[HughMoran]

106. lol - is that as good as a CLENIS?

I didn't think so :rofl:

[Hotler]

80. Obama mentions the past elections..

and not one word about the vote fraud.

[HughMoran]

88. you have a 5 min delay in your digital cable?

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

86. "Grew up in rural south in small towns.." DRINK!

:beer:

[More Than A Feeling]

91. Good, a commerical, I need a new bottle.

[Catchawave]

98. LOL !

[HughMoran]

94. Be funny if they all had beer!

:woohoo:

[Yael]

95. Cheers!

[K Gardner]

89. The people in the editing room are VERY busy right now.

[Renew Deal]

92. If Edwards is so electable, why doesn't he ever win?

:shrug:

[iris5426]

96. being essentially ignored by the mainstream media doesn't help any nt

[HughMoran]

113. can you imagine if he was actually part of the debates?

that would be awesome!

[Yael]

102. I'd love to know that as well. Media playing him as an also-ran after a loss in NH?

[grantcart]

93. Glenn Beck says I am a thinker

put a gun to my head and pull the trigger

[bdamomma]

97. John is doing great!!!!

[K Gardner]

100. *ALERT* Do not play drinking game with Yael. Yael drinking iced tea! Unfair advantage.

[Yael]

104. ROFL!! Hey -- I hafta work in the AM!

[Yael]

109. Wolf -- *raging* discussion on cnnpolitics.com

[More Than A Feeling]

105. Too...late (falls over in his chair)

[OneGrassRoot]

107. Is it wise to try to appeal to repubs at this stage?

I don't mean to diss them...don't antagonize the moderate republicans...but to try to get crossover votes during primary, I'm not sure about that. I'm surrounded by them, and when a candidate tries to appeal to them at this stage, they are very wary.

[vanboggie]

108. Bill Schneider First Half Recap

"Edwards was strong throughout, though he's still struggling to be heard over Clinton and Obama. He appeared to take the high road when both of them got bogged down in petty back and forth, and seemed to successfully sharpen his differences with Obama. Viewers will likely give him a second look."

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/21/schneider-first-half-recap/

[Yael]

114. SWEET!!! Thank you!

[FogerRox]

110. I had to get a firefox plug in ... and finally I am streaming WHEW

[K Gardner]

112. Blitzer says "There is a Raging Debate going on at CNN.Com", LOL, I bet !

[bullwinkle428]

115. Um, Barack...your opponent was also BATSHIT CRAZY!!!!!!!!

[More Than A Feeling]

116. uh oh, time for the god-botherin'!

*sigh*

I can't believe he had the gall to mention gay rights. Course, most people don't know why that's a problem, so it's probalby ok for him.

[K Gardner]

121. To be fair, SC has SMEARED him with the Muslim emails. He kinda had to do the Christian thing.

[OzarkDem]

117. Obama still lecturing...zzzzzzzzzz

[Yael]

118. Obama -- I am a proud Christian and we need to reach out to evangelicals

[DURHAM D]

158. Can't believe he said that...

Pride goeth before a fall. That is what popped into the head of every Christin listening to this.

[Renew Deal]

119. Obama has giant balls

[peoli]

131. they are gigantor. no doubt

[Yael]

120. Obama -- going after the (R) vote

[tishaLA]

122. I just realized that Clinton's nastiness was a strategy

to "soil" Obama and make him look less like a choir boy. Nobody expects it of her, but they DO of him. So, by getting him into the mud with her, where she resides, she effectively wins.

[K Gardner]

Everything she does is a strategery. Every. Thing.

[Yael]

133. She doesn't do anything (or think anything) unless her focus groups preapprove it

[DemCam]

145. Hope she wins in or out of your mud

[grantcart]

123. Is Obama going to have an alter call

this is the worst part of the debate and I like him

[HughMoran]

124. Love his comment about not conceding Jesus to the right-wing nut jobs

[Yael]

125. Hillary -- TERRA TERRA TERRA

[Yael]

126. Good Christ.. *sigh*

[halobeam]

127. noticed that, huh

[Kahuna]

129. I hope Obama smacks her down for that one. nt

[vanboggie]

130. Been after me for 16 years

Drink

[HughMoran]

134. gotta deal with it babe

They were talking about what McCain brings to the table.

[HughMoran]

128. Hillary says "I kick ass" "I'm still here"

[More Than A Feeling]

132. John McCain! DrinK!@

[K Gardner]

135. She's making a BIG mistake taking on a trial lawyer.. hang on !!!

[Kahuna]

136. Edwards: "Corporate lobbyists" Drink!

:beer:

[More Than A Feeling]

137. John Edwards takes money from people who sell goods to lobbyists!

HORRORS!

[Yael]

138. Hillary defending lobbyists -- getting LOUD again

[grantcart]

oh yeah hillary

i am so independent i can take money from rupert murcdoch

[peoli]

"artificial distinction"

[NJSecularist]

139. John Edwards asked a good question

But Hillary, being the brilliant politician she is, turned it around on him.

[OzarkDem]

140. Campaign finance reform

[MadBadger]

141. John and Hillary are both losing the lobbyist argument

John is getting laughed at, and Hillary couldnt answer his question.

[Yael]

142. Edwards hammering on the lobbyists

[MadBadger]

150. Problem is that his lobbyist argument is getting old to the crowd.

[vanboggie]

143. Woman who takes money from lobbyists

Goes after the guy who doesn't. Edwards points out lobbyists expect payback for their investment.

[HughMoran]

144. Uh, oh - donor fight! Hillary vs Edwards

[tishaLA]

146. John, this is REALLY hard to take

Cuz I'm used to sleaze so much that I practice it.

[dorkulon]

147. McCain wins the debate!

Huge boost for him.

[K Gardner]

153. ROFL.. good point.

[Kahuna]

162. Yeah,

:(

[Ikonoklast]

148. Hillary talking about lobbyists not a good thing

Looking foolish on this one.

[Mist]

Obama: I love Jesus. HRC:I can defend America. Edwards: I've never taken

money from a lobbyist. Oops, HRC calls Edwards on it. Edwards says the trial lawyers he gets money from expect him to support jury trials and justice.

[Yael]

149. Hillary BS spin -- John and I agree about Lobbyists. Call her on this shit!

[More Than A Feeling]

Holy shit, Hillary just committed to instituting clean elections, didn't she?

She's never done that, at least not clearly, before! Am I wrong? Is that not what she said?

[Kahuna]

151. Hillary slinging mud again. nt

[AntiFascist]

152. Hillary will do EVERYTHING - zzzzzzz

[Yael]

159. ON DAY ONE!!!11! no less

[DemCam]

164. Cause she's wo o man w-o-m-a-n LOL

Knows how to multi-task

[HughMoran]

154. obama concedes point, then gets into the mudumble

[OzarkDem]

155. Obama thinks corporate control of candidates isn't important ..

[Yael]

156. Obama calls HRC out on the Terra Terra bullshit

[HughMoran]

161. lamely

he's stumblemumbling again

[Kahuna]

167. It could have been stronger. But the part about being McCain lite

was good.

[HughMoran]

169. true, but she may see that as a positive

:rofl:

[Kahuna]

157. Obama national security smackdown coming....

:popcorn:

[HughMoran]

168. didn't materialize

[Manifestor_of_Light]

160. John sank his teeth into Hillary's ankle a minute ago.

re: Lobbyists.

BITE MARKS!!!!

[FogerRox]

190. AS sson as she said trail lawyers, I knew Edwards would take her to task for that

I think Hillary lost a point there....

[More Than A Feeling]

163. Good Hillary needs to get taken to the cleaners on her fearmongering

[K Gardner]

165. She is really unbelievable. If the MSM gives her a pass on this b/s I'm gonna scream.

[HughMoran]

173. You hate her guts. You call her "shrill"

She did as good or better than the rest - deal with it.

[Mist]

166. I don't like Obama talking about defending America's interests--we know that's a slippery

concept. Defending the country and defending its "interests" aren't quite the same.

[Yael]

170. How so?

[Mist]

176. Bushco have used the "America's interests" to cover "anyone anywhere who MAY threaten us." nt

[Yael]

181. He is reaching out to disillusioned Indies and moderate Rs

[Mist]

188. I know--they all have to play that "I'll be a great C-in-C" card. nt

[AntiFascist]

184. Good point - defending our Persian Gulf interests could mean...

more 'ineptitude' when it comes to 9-11 type events.

[More Than A Feeling]

171. sigh, just can't get away from the race stuff.

Edwards does a great job, tying the actual king family into it.

[Yael]

172. Edwards hits hard on civil rights. WOOT!!!

[More Than A Feeling]

174. That was a good answer, on his part.

Obama's using it for platitudes, and to recall hillary's LBJ/King flap.

[halobeam]

177. yes, Edwards answer was excellent

[Yael]

175. Obama -- change happens from bottom up, not top down

[OzarkDem]

180. Shorter Obama - do it yourself, don't ask me to help you

[Renew Deal]

186. I agree with this point of view.

You have to push politicians. It will not work the other way around.

[HughMoran]

178. Uh-oh, Hillary and MLK

Be careful there lady

[peoli]

183. a nothing answer

[HughMoran]

187. better than drawing the LBJ vs MLK comparison again

She did the redo a lot better IMHO

[Mist]

HRC gets the closing remarks. nt

[Sparkly]

182. Holy CARP I'm glad that's over.

Now I think I can breathe again.

[HughMoran]

189. LMAO!!

I'm SERIES!!1 this is HUGH!!!, don't give me any CARP!111!!

[eppur_se_muova]
