Hey.

[WilliamPitt]

We're going win.

No matter the D nominee.

We're going to win.

Period.

End of file.

[quakerboy]

1. Now we just have to make sure that we don't

lose by winning. Whatever happens, a win is just the start of what we have to do.

[mcctatas]

2. stop being a uniter!

:sarcasm:

[scheming daemons]

3. Exactly...... Nov 5th = "President-Elect Obama"

[2rth2pwr]

4. Is that a "Whip Inflation Now" button?

Hey, a rose is a rose. I wasn't going to flog my way through google to find a politicaly pure "win" graphic with that thing sitting in front of me. It was there. I took it. There it is.

;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

6. Yes . We. Are!

We must ....

K&R, proudly!

:patriot:

[washingdem]

7. Absolutely. It's important to keep that in mind - We're gonna win.

[Solon]

8. Who is we, and what are we going to win? n/t

[WilliamPitt]

9. "Solon, the Lawmaker of Athens, destroyer of Draconian laws, founder of Western Democracy."

Pretty dumb question for a founder of Western democracy.

Just sayin'.

:)

[Solon]

11. On the contrary, its perhaps the wisest question one can think of...

As far as the who, well, given the context of this board, I'm assuming Democrats. However, my second question is the more important one. If the goal is to get Democrats elected just because they are the "team" you chose to support, then I feel contempt. If its because of the erroneous belief that they will forward liberal or leftist policies, then that's just sad.

[DaDooRonRon]

56. The answers to your queries are as follows:

1) It's the "team", of course. The OP made that quite clear. What value said "team" brings to the table is really of little consequence - the goal of the whole voting exercise is to make sure you WIN the game. No more, no less.

2) The concept of erroneous belief is pushed to the side, since we all know that WINNING matters most. The maddening part of the whole equation, however, is this little gem: when (not if) the Messiah fails to deliver on his/her liberal/leftist policies, the flock will not realize they've been duped; rather they will try ever harder to bring another song-and-dance man front and center, unbelievably thinking he/she will bring those leftist policies with them.

Nobody seems to understand that in order to be allowed to play the mainstream vote for me! game one has to assure the owners that nothing will change, no matter how good the carney spiel is.

Mainstream politics is the mother of all rackets - a willing and caged audience who will repeatedly hit themselves on the head in hopes that somebody someday will take away the hammer.

Somebody should tell them their anointed saviors all own hardware stores. :)

[Writer]

10. Yup!

That's why the intensity of disagreement in here is ludicrous.

McCain cannot win. Period.

:thumbsup:

[WilliamPitt]

12. Gonna win.

[EFerrari]

26. WP: check you're PM. n/t

[ShortnFiery]

13. Sorry, the "reconciliation party" is a little premature. Get back with us June 3rd? eom

[EFerrari]

14. They're going to hafta change their mascot to a mop.

[onenote]

15. You have a lot of nerve bringing that shit here to DownerUnderground

Seriously, thanks!!!

[mzmolly]

16. I hope so.

[JuniperLea]

24. Love that picture!

Keeper!

[mzmolly]

28. Well it can't hurt huh?

:hi:

[knixphan]

17. Yeah Boi!

[yodermon]

18. ABSOLUTELY. Remember, McCain was ready to *sue* to keep that DNC ad off the air

the one that simply quoted his own words ("100 years in Iraq"), no spin added.

The GOP will be obliterated this fall.

[rateyes]

19. I had forgotten all about Gerald Ford's

W.hip
I.inflation
N.ow

buttons.

You should photoshop that and put a blue background on it.

[hfojvt]

20. Whip Inflation Now? Why?

A little inflation is not that big a deal. It's better than a high unemployment rate, if you've gotta pick a spot on the Phillips curve. :P

[JuniperLea]

21. My dog's droppings could beat McCain in the GE

I hear you, Will. I've been saying this forever... and ever louder since my candidate dropped out of the race. I don't stand behind any candidate now, I stand behind the party.

[BooScout]

22. Let me guess....you went to happy hour early?

[mtnsnake]

23. Yup, & that's why these two are fighting it out tooth and nail till only 1 is left standing

They are both well aware that we're going to win this thing, too.

[JuniperLea]

25. Well said!

The only thing hurting the party is the incessant whining from dumbasses who don't get that. I think it's time for both camps to stfu and start hurling the shit at John Four More Years McCain instead of each other.

[kid a]

27. I have fundamentally changed my convictions in the last 10 weeks.

If the type of RW, gutter politics Hillary Clinton is willing to perpetuate succeeds and she is the nominee, I will be voting third party, rekindle my political aspirations, take the opportunity to run in my state legislature as soon as possible, and run against GOP and DEM candidates that cater to the corporation and NOT the individual citizen.

Although my presence here at DU is mostly as a lurker and, yes, occasional flame thrower - yes, I will cancel membership and quietly find a more compatible blog, blah, blah, blah.

But I literally got sick to my stomach watching three things yesterday:

1 Hillary's fake gas pump dialogue and prozac/botox smile
2 Hillary's pathetic pandering to the O'Reilly right wing fanatics (especially her comment, "I'll let the voters decide
3 Watching Newt Gingrich on Jon Stewart, who echoed HIllary's basic Wright message and threw his fat ass support to her campaign.

When a Democrat basically lays spread eagle and allows the RW machine to fuck the shit out of you for votes and political gain, you have been inseminated with the vile stench that I have been fighting against my 25 years of voting and volunteering.

I will not vote for Hillary - you can put me in that Kantian cubby-hole of party traitor, but as least I can sleep at night and wake up in the morning without a sore asshole.

[NNN0LHI]

29. I truly think Rev. Jeremiah Wright could beat McCain this November

[Bucky]

30. Sadly, you seem to ignore one very important fact

Half of DUers will absolutely refuse to vote for the nominee no matter who it is. And inasmuch as DUers are most certainly a representative sample of all Democrats, we're screwn.

[NNN0LHI]

31. "DUers are most certainly a representative sample of all Democrats" ... Say what?

I don't think so. Not even close.

Don

[Bucky]

32. Please re-read my post.

Once more... slowly; it's only two sentences long. Let what I'm saying sink in. Judge what I'm saying on its merits.

Does that clarify what the author's intent was?

[elixir]

33. Garsh, Will. Where's that "President Obama. Just sayin'"? Hmm.

[sniffa]

34. It worked for Gerald Ford

:hide:

[WilliamPitt]

35. Gonna.win.

[TragedyandHope]

36. In it to win it!

[Tribetime]

37. thanks your right,

good to here from one of the true leaders here.

[FlyingSquirrel]

38. Wrongo

Wish I could agree (and I usually do agree with you) but no way Hillary wins.

[WilliamPitt]

39. Win.

[mike772]

40. YES

[Buzz Clik]

41. We're going to "Whip Inflation Now"? Thanks, Gerry. We'll keep that in mind.

:evilgrin:

[WilliamPitt]

42. This thread is a great way to out people over 40.

;)

[Buzz Clik]

43. As I look up the thread, you clearly nailed a few of us.

I was a sophomore in college. I wore Gerry's pin until my rebate money was spent. And then I voted for Carter.

Not all bribes work.

[WilliamPitt]

44. .

[senseandsensibility]

45. You're never embarrassed to kick your own

stuff, are you Pitt? That's what I like about you. That and the optimism.

[WilliamPitt]

47. Oh, you don't know.

I'm kicking this thread once a day until November.

My own personal happy fnord. ;)

[bigwillq]

46. Way to think positively.

More people around here need to do that and stop with some of their BS.

[RichardRay]

48. Winifred, Windingo, Win-Dixie, Winston Churchill, Winton Marsalis

Microsoft Windows, WinRAR, Winston-Salem, Winnapausaukie (and what would you do with one if you won it?), Win-Win Negotiation (win^2), Win Ben Stein's Money (please!), Erwin Schrödinger (oddly applicable), George Winston.

That's the best I can do in under 3 minutes...

[WilliamPitt]

49. .

[cboy4]

50. We'd rather you not jinx us mister the Patriots are going to

win the Super Bowl. :eyes:

[livingmadness]

51. Oops, wrong thread n/t

55. Your win is looking a little ragged and dirty.
