To all Clinton and Obama supporters....
You know you're out of hand when even Kucinich supporters like myself think you're a little too far out there to deal with.

In fact, I think even Wetzelbill/Kurovski supporters think you've all gone a little batshit this last month or so.

Oh well, in the words of Norman Bates: "We all go a little mad sometimes." :)

1. I liked Kucinich!
the "media" killed him with that UFO question.

2. Yeah what was with that?
Half the Republican base has claimed to be abducted and anal probed by UFOs, you'd think it wouldn't be such a big deal for somebody to say they saw one. I actually know several people who think they've seen something like that. And they are all as normal as anybody.

5. I have my moments
:)

I figure I can do something to entertain myself from time to time, and the surest way to do that is to mention Clinton and Obama and stand back and watch what happens. :)

7. you might want to start organizing
because chances are he's got it already.

I am curious though, what purpose does President McCain serve in all of this? I would think that the good of the country and the welfare of the American people and the rest of the world is a tad bigger than either Senator Clinton or Senator Obama.

27. A friend of mine named his band after it. It's called a Merkin.
Apparently they were for people who'd lost hair, down there.

Hence, ProudtobeaMerkin. I'm sure the poster in question was going for the Lyndon Johnson pronunciation of the word "American" but still, when that poster became a disruptor, it was fun to refer to the person who was proud to be a Merkin.

12. Thank you for an example of the OP's point.
That is what you were going for, right?

15. I almost thought it was satire
Until I read the poster's sig line. :) It would have been so brilliant if it was. :)

19. If you do read some of the weirder posts as satire, this board looks we're Vicious Circle

6. You know what WetzeBill
I am hurt that you never even mentioned Lee Mercer supporters. :sarcasm: I know for a fact that his biggest supporters were once Kucinich people and yet you ignore them! ;)


Good post! :rofl:

I almost added him in there
But I decided to keep it simple. Mainly I was too lazy to type "Mercer" and "Gravel." I mean that might have took me a whole extra three seconds to do. :)

8. Well, you're a fine one to talk!
If the Dream Team (Wetzelbill/Kurovski) had revved-up their own campaign early on, and not caved when the media refused to allow you in the debates, we wouldn't be where we are now.

Hope you're happy.

14. I still might get it at the convention
I think if it's brokered and goes past 50 ballots, I would have to be the favorite, just ahead of Gore.

25. I think my biggest mistake was thinking I could skate by on name recognition alone
It sort of helps if somebody actually knows who you are before you roll with that kind of strategy. But after Hillary stole my "inevitability" strategy, I felt that was the best route to take at the time. I really didn't see "Change" catching on this year.

30. I wish you'd asked for my advice on this ...
... before the fact.

Your best bet, IMHO, would have been to go with the "I am inevitable because nobody knows me, but people want change" strategy.

And to think Mark Penn is getting the big bucks ...

13. I'm looking forward to Cotto vs Gomez and Cintron vs Margarito
I'd go with Cotto and Margarito in those, but, you know, I'm not as well-versed in boxing as I used to be. I want Gomez to win, just don't think he'll do it though.

16. These are all
fan-friendly fights -- at least on paper. Cotto, while not unbeatable, is probably far too strong for this foe. Cintron has the ability to beat Margarito in their return match, but I think is coming back too quickly after his injury.

20. I think he's probably too strong for Gomez too
Yeah, Cintron is coming back fast, Margarito is a bruising guy, I would've never thought he'd get beat by Paul Williams. Cintron seems to have improved over the years, and he can punch, so it should be good.
