Lost in the shuffle: the bottom line is, we need a tough nominee to stand up to the GOP

[CatWoman]

and Obama ain't the one.

If he keeps running crying to Mommy every time Hillary or Bill gives him a wedgie, what the fuck is he going to do as the nominee when the GOP hits him below the belt?

[sunonmars]

1. I'm fully convinced this guy is

only running as a democrat to get elected, he's clearly a republican really inside, no other explanation.

He's too happy to envelop the Republicans, thats really really bothering me.

[Pirate Smile]

2. Maybe he will run an ad calling them on their BS.

[avaistheone1]

7. here is where you lost me

(including some dead ones)

DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!

[Yurovsky]

8. You've never lived in Louisiana, have you?

place of my birth. Having dead folks vote is a tradition down there. Corruption isn't a problem in Louisiana, it's an art form.

[CatWoman]

11. I don't need to live in Louisiana

to know that Bush stole 2 elections via vote manipulation.

Whether the manipulated was dead or not is another matter.

[avaistheone1]

13. That one of the reasons I like Edwards he comes off focused and not petty like the other campaigns.

Edwards is the only candidate centered and strong enough to fight the GOP.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. The Clintons have not been savaging Edwards every day in the press

If Edwards was under the extreme adversity that Obama finds himself under, I'm not sure how he would react. I like Edwards. I basically think all three of the candidates are good people. But I didn't like the way Edwards performed in the debates with Cheney in 2004. He didn't come off as a fighter to me and was too agreeable.

[frogcycle]

45. ok, milk that for a while

while you watch obama wither under the onslaught

get real

[chimpymustgo]

14. Yurovky, I've only heard right wing assholes refer to Bill Clinton as you just did.

Are you sure you're in the right place?

[mondo joe]

22. Did you get your slander points from Limbaugh? Or Coulter?

[GalleryGod]

10. Oh,OK.

Carl said it best.

[OneGrassRoot]

15. There's a lot to be said for experience ...

This type of campaign is unlike what he's been through thus far. It's a learning process, one Edwards went through in 2004.

It's not necessarily a fair process - everyone gets beat up unfairly and brutally at some point, and in one form or another - kind of an initiation, or so it seems.

Regardless of how this plays out, he will have learned an awful lot during this primary season regarding the political battlefield, media interaction, etc.

[goodgd_yall]

17. Agreed

I think Obama is getting a rude awakening, but he'll learn from the experience.

[mopinko]

25. cuz lord knows politics here in illinois is just pattycake.

really people, he ain't from the pumpkin patch.

[OneGrassRoot]

27. Not saying he is...but, still, this is taking the whole mess (politics) to a new level. n/t

[mopinko]

36. it's a walk in the park around here.

seriously. people who discount his time in the illinois senate don't know shit. we play without helmets here.

[MannyGoldstein]

16. Uh... It Was Hillary Who Cried, N'est Pas?

And Obama's just defending himself - very well, judging from his growing lead in SC.

[Cameron27]

18. Hillary never cried.

[mondo joe]

20. You're imagining things. Too bad.

[mondo joe]

19. Bless you CatWoman. NT

[Cameron27]

21. I agree

K&R

[ronnykmarshall]

24. Oh dear.

:rofl:

G'on CW!!!

:loveya:

[mondo joe]

26. There's only one person around the campaigns that I think is as tough and smart as Hillary.

Her name is Elizabeth Edwards.

[Rowdyboy]

28. Dahhhmm, you are one hard woman.....

I think you're selling my man Barack a little short but thats just my opinion.

I'll just be happy when all the snipings over. I love John Edwards, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all three and I can't wait to get excited about whichever one of them wins. I hope two of them wind up on the ticket!

But remind me not to get on your bad side.... :hug:

[CatWoman]

30. ROWDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hi:

:loveya:

I've missed you!!! Where have you been?

Hon, bottom line is this country is NOT ready to elect a black man.

I hope, however, I live to see it in my lifetime.

And "I" will be happy when the sniping is over, too.

What happened to the good ole days when we laughed at Republicans sliming one another?

[laugle]

43. I think you

hit the nail on the head, unfortunately. BTW, I love your cats........

I think the division in our party, illustrates that we are not ready!

[Rowdyboy]

46. Hanging around....just back from a weekend in New Orleans for the VERY lewd

Krewe du Vieux parade. Its the kickoff to Mardi Gras next month and its the bawdiest of the bunch. We stayed at a gay B&B in the Marigny and ate at HerbSaint, one of the 50 top restaurants in America. I'm still on a cloud!

If Barack had a few more years in the senate, he'd be unstoppable. As it is, I really believe he is electable-maybe I'm a total fool but I think he has a solid chance. Maybe not in the America I grew up in, but I'm starting to believe that things may have changed. Maybe we really have matured.

I've spent a lot of today having fun watching heads explode at Free Republic. First, his Holiness Ronald Reagan II (Fred Thompson) quit the race and there was GREAT weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (literally thousands of heartsick posts). Then patron saint of the BORDER FENCE Duncan Hunter endorsed Huckabee who the freepers seem to feel is immigrations anti-Christ. Its like we'd be if Gore endorsed Zell Miller.

They are wetting themselves with self-pity over the death of the republic. Its the most fun I've had all year (its still early though!).

[CatWoman]

47. I've GOT to hang out with you some time

:)

[Rowdyboy]

49. I have a message for you from this one really cute waiter in New Orleans....

"Two things....come visit and bring money!"

Its not quite the same but everybody is trying really hard to make it the New Orleans we remember. Bless their hearts they deserve any support they can get.

The parade, BTW was absolutely wicked! Definitely NOT family fare...

[ProSense]

29. *BEEP BEEP BEEP*

Hillary Clinton has the audacity to raise questions Obama on Rezko...

Chicago Tribune, Factcheck.Org, Washington Post: Obama Never Represented Tony Rezko

Obama has rattled the Clinton machine, throwing even Bill Clinton for a loop

Bill Clinton gets upset with CNN reporter

We love Bill, he has high ratings! We don't care if he is

[CatWoman]

31. LOL

The bot showed up.

Let's compare circuits

[ProSense]

32. Ooh, an illustrated response!

How's life in the picture book lane?

[CatWoman]

35. actually, I see you more as Hedonism Bot

[chimpymustgo]

33. Lest we forget, Obama has only taken on ALAN KEYES in a campaign.

This is good practice for him. He needs to toughen up and quit whining.

John Edwards: his time is NOW.

[Capt. America]

34. Hillary is not the one...

Does anyone really think that HRC Corp. can really beat the
Rethugs when Saint Bill of the Dogmatic Triangulation needed
Perot in the race for him to win in 92 and 96?  You DLCers
need to come to acceptance that Hillary is HATED by everyone
but Dems who think that electing the wife will get you the
husband (which is the same stupid mistake that the Rethugs did
when they thought electing the son will get them the father). 
The Rethugs hate Hillary so much that they will rise from the
dead to vote against her.  I think we would be better served
in the GE if we had a candidate that can pull some indies and
Rethugs, or, at least, allow them to "stay at home"
on election day.  I think the polling will show that Edwards
or Obama would be better in the general election.   

[CatWoman]

37. yikes!!

I must be in Robotica!!!

They are coming out of the walls!!!!

[mondo joe]

38. Actually Mr. 2 posts, the rw hate serves us well - it makes them more irrational and

more stupid than they are already.

[IndianaJones]

39. Excellent post. nt.

[THUNDER HANDS]

40. The bottom line, it would help to nominate someone they don't already despise

and someone who doesn't turn off half the country the moment she sets foot on stage.

Or in Diebold we trust, part III?

[CatWoman]

41. naive little Jason

:hug:

[THUNDER HANDS]
