LOL, hillaryis44 refers to Oregon as "Birkenstock Nation"

[Jersey Devil]

You see, there is some humor in all of this. :rofl: :rofl:

Now I have to go mow the lawn.

[EFerrari]

1. LOL!

:rofl:

[Catherina]

2. Wow. I better rush out and buy a pair n/t

[Vinca]

3. They ought to save some money and merge with Free Republic. nt

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

14. It's not a coincidence.

:think:

[libnnc]

4. I don't think I want to know what they call NC...

:crazy:

[NewHampshireDem]

5. That's the problem with the Democratic party, isn't it?

All those, ugh, Democrats. :eyes:

[Webster Green]

6. Fuckin' commie hippies!

Gobama! :hippie:

[GarbagemanLB]

7. As an Oregonian, that pisses me off. I'm going to go drive my hybrid around the block a few times

to cool down.

[K Gardner]

8. Stop at Starbuck's and get me a latte, will ya? I need to clean the expresso machine.

[SOS]

11. You're going to add steamed milk to your coffee?!

Are you a Bolshevik?

[Arugula Latte]

50. I can't believe you're driving a CAR! Jesus, don't you have a bike?

You call yourself an Oregon liberal?! For shame... :spank:

[roguevalley]

70. As an Oregonian, they can kiss my ass. They don't know crap about

Oregon aka Heaven and I hope they never do. KISS MY ASS, YOU DORKS AT HILLARYIS(NOT)44.COM!

RV, roguevalley

[Bluenorthwest]

9. This week the lovely and talented Bob Novak

Said that Oregon 'with its large hippy population leans heavily toward Obama.' Which is just such a broad generalization. But I spent the morning buying tie-dye shirts and organic pepper plants in Eugene so maybe he's right. I did not however wear Birkenstocks. I wore Crocs, thank you very much, and also bought a lovely marrionberry pie to eat while voting!

[walldude]

25. LMAO.. has anyone seen an actual hippy in the last

30 years?

[XemaSab]

27. I saw some today at the Redding farmer's market

:hide:

[Hansel]

30. I did when I lived in Oregon. In Springfield of all places.

One of my friend's brother and his wife. They lived in a cottage out in the country and they wore birkenstocks and she wore old tie-dyed peasant dresses. They had built garden paths out into the woods that they considered their peace haven. It was like walking through a mythical fairyland. I have a wooded lot in my backyard that I'm thinking of making a replica of it.

That was the 1st and last time I ever saw a hippy, although I heard from one of my friends who grew up in Eugene that there are still a few people living there that called themselves hippies.

I lived in Portland during all of the 90s and I never saw a hippy there. But I knew a lot of progressives.

[AspenRose]

44. Go to Santa Fe sometime.

:-)

[Webster Green]

51. Hell yeah!...Northern California is teeming with them..

I'm one myself. A first-wave, un-repentant, tree-hugging, drug enhanced, commie hippie. :hippie:

[Arugula Latte]

85. Oh, we've got a Hippy Preserve going on here.

It's nice, because hippies are free to roam among the general population. We don't believe in confining our hippies. Some of them show up where expected (e.g. playing hackysack down by the waterfront, selling hemp products in outdoor markets), but some of them decide to live amongst people with minivans and PTA meetings to attend.

My niece is at Lewis and Clark College here in Portland, and she was explaining that the Hardcore Hippies don't allow just anyone to join their ranks. For example, you pretty much have to give up shoes and go barefoot year round. That's not easy when it's 50 degrees and rainy for weeks on end.

[Gore1FL]

10. I have never worn sandals in my life.

but I voted for Obama.

Do I have to live in Oregon to nee to wear them, or am I just a monor percentage in the birkenstock wearing demographic?

[EFerrari]

13. Birkenstock wishes they had that kind of traffic.

Sorry, morans, I won't give up my sneakers OR my Dolce Vita.

Deal with it. :)

[roguevalley]

73. love those shoes.

[sandnsea]

12. And what will they call Montana and South Dakota?

Can't wait. What a bunch of fools.

[Mooney]

55. Montana is a well-known bastion of leftist radicals and black separatists.

[Raine]

57. or California?

actually as a Californian I don't think I even want to know, imagining is bad enough.:-(

[Cha]

60. Montana Dudes, and

South Dakota Lakota.

[PoliticalAmazon]

15. We all know that the sure-fire way to win over voters is to insult them....

I know it is humorous, but it sure underlies a big problem with the Clinton campaign: insulting voters who they think they don't need or who won't vote for them.

I'm sure there are a large number of Hillary supporters to Oregon, and for Clinton supporters to insult their OWN supporters is just bizarre.

[Eurobabe]

16. Hey I LIVE in Birkenstock nation

where they are made. :hippie: There's an outlet about 20km from my house.

I'll go buy a pair in honor of my Oregon sisters and brothers. :hi:

[brer cat]

23. If you do, please send them to me....I need a new pair!

I'm an over 60 y-o white woman..make that hard-working woman, white...I fit Clinton's demographic very well. Small problem: I support O. I just didn't realize the shoes made me do it!

Blame the Birkenstock's...the Birkenstocks made me do it! :hippie:

:rofl:

[Arugula Latte]

49. I need some Birkenstocks, too. I live in Oregon and I don't own any...

I feel like I'm not doing my fair share to piss off Hillary.

[Speck Tater]

17. I'd like to see someone mucking stalls in Birkenstocks.

Or driving a tractor, or setting chokers, or pulling green chain in Birkenstocks.

I don't know what those city folks do, but us real Oregonians wouldn't have much occasion for wearing any kind of footwear that's not steel toed.

[DiverDave]

18. I miss HOME!

I'm stuck in Delaware, grew up in Springfield...and I wanna go HOME!!!

I miss fishing (trout and steelhead and salmon), hiking into high lakes and Dungeness crab omelets.
Oh, if I was there, I'd just go fishin to cool off...

[roguevalley]

74. I'm from Central Point, you know, the place where she had her anywhere

from 550 to 1000 supporters at the fair grounds. I miss Oregon. SIGH!

[Mz Pip]

19. Like that's a bad thing?

Now people who wear Birkenstocks don't count?

She's running out of demographics.

[XemaSab]

20. They're idiots

EVERYONE knows that the Birkenstock American headquarters is in Marin county, California. :eyes:

[quakerboy]

21. Shows what they know. Birkenstocks are so last century.

Chaco is the new Birkenstock. How hard is it to keep up with these things, I mean, really.

[FrenchieCat]

22. When your feet feel comfy, you think better.

Oregonians must be hella smart collectively. The Democratic ones, that is.

[DarienComp]

24. So we're all dirty fucking hippies now?

Weren't we closet Reaganites yesterday? What will we be tomorrow?

[Warren DeMontague]

28. Hey- don't say "dirty fucking hippie" like it's a BAD thing.

:hippie:

[bunnies]

34. Excuse me...

We're dirty fucking, latte sipping, trust-fund having, eggheaded, elitist hippies. Thank you very much.
:hi:

[Tatiana]

58. You forgot Prius-driving... n/t

[Renew Deal]

84. lol

I remember the reagan bullshit. :rofl:

[cyclezealot]

26. beginning to think Hillary has

Karl Rove working for her. Sounds like she has already written off Oregon.

[bowens43]

29. the hilleryis44ers make the freepers look sane.

[RichardRay]

31. With wool socks...

ever since I moved to Wyoming. But, I still wear them! When I used to guide on Oregon rivers the fishing guides wore cowboy boots when they rowed, so us hippy whitewater raft and kayak guys work birkies - neither of us get our feet wet without ruining our foot gear.

[Emit]

32. Are these folks Democrats?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

33. Durn tree-huggers. Hillary promises a chain saw in every pickup.

I used to be an Oregonian but I moved 35 miles north so I could be a real Birkenstocker and have more trees to hug.

[newmajority]

35. I wanted to be a Birkenstock wearing hippy

But I couldn't find the damn things in Size 15. :evilfrown:

[TahitiNut]

62. 15? That's awfully small. I wear size 42's.

:shrug:

[newmajority]

63. Is that metric or are you a member of the Sasquatch family?

[TahitiNut]

66. It's the size of my Birks.

:dunce:

[CreekDog]

36. damned hippies

[AspenRose]

46. .

:rofl:

[bhikkhu]

37. Ummm....I live in Oregon and am wearing my Birk's right now.

I guess she's right!

[Radio_Lady]

77. I'm in Oregon, but tonight I dressed up with Beautifeels from Israel!

We were at the Washington County Springfest Democratic event.

Lots of people there.

Mostly, we spoke about the Senate race and we want one of the Dems to BEAT BACK Sen. GORDON SMITH...

Cordially,

Radio Lady Ellen

[insanity]

38. I can't deny that my state likes it 'stocks

I often find myself wearing a pair of birks after a hearty breakfast of granola, an array of eastern meditation and a few 'medical' plants.

[frickaline]

39. can someone answer this stupid question please?

why the heck is it hillaryis44 ... shouldn't it be hillaryis60 ?

Granted my mom used to like to jokingly take a few years off her age, but 16?!?

Seriously if the 44 isn't age, what the heck is it?

[Forkboy]

40. The IQ of the people posting there.

[frickaline]

41. hmm you might have something there, i loved this one

holy spinhola, batman! :wow:

Barack Obama’s “New Politics” are really quite extraordinary. Obama’s “new politics” can be summarized as ‘get votes for free which you did not earn’.

The latest Chicago thuggery is a plan for Obama to get delegates in Michigan - a state in which Obama removed his name from the ballot!

Imagine that. A candidate does not run for election but gets votes. This surely is new - and dangerous, and undemocratic, and unwanted.
No doubt Obama violated the “no campaign” pledge in Michigan when he aired advertisments via surrogates asking voters to vote “uncommitted”. Obama also violated the “no campaign” pledge in Florida when he aired advertisments in Florida. But to get delegates from an election in which you did not run is well… thuggery.
{and unfortunately, it goes on ...}

Oh, and here's another winner ...

GOOD ONE!

LOL @

“I did not have spiritual relations with that man, Mr. Wright.” - Barack Obama

THANKS I REALLY ENJOYED THIS ONE…

[AspenRose]

42. Number of the president

eom

[frickaline]

43. ahhh that's it ... tyvm nt

[mcctatas]

52. I knew I had jumped the shark when I thought it was referring to

her age...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5598940

Boy did I feel silly;)

[frickaline]

54. I'm glad to join as the newest member of your club

:grouphug:
sign me up....oh, and where's the water ski?

[Exilednight]

45. I'll show you something really funny ......

They keep claiming that Hillary can win the swing states.

From their website:

There are good reasons not to take Puerto Rico lightly, even though the press has continued to do exactly that. I would note: (a) Puerto Ricans vote in large numbers (2 million in the last gubernatorial election); (b) Puerto Ricans have never had this important a role in United States presidential politics; (c) Puerto Rico’s politics is focused at least partially on how (if at all) to adjust its relationship with the United States; (d) Puerto Rico’s is an open primary, and the residents of the Commonwealth, who are United States citizens, do not see themselves as Republicans or Democrats.

Someone needs to make the author of this blog aware that PR doesn't vote in the GE.

[KaptBunnyPants]

47. Why don't people who think like this vote Republican?

Hating Oregon is like hating California, or New York, or any traditionally liberal state. These are the states that reliably vote Democratic, year in, year out. If you don't even have a minimum level of respect for these people, why are you in the Democratic Party?

[pdxmom]

48. Have they called Portland "Little Beirut"? Cause that wasn't their idea. Bush

Senior came up with that one first.

[kwenu]

53. Hillaryis4 is on its way to self-destruct. They are such proud republicans.

[L0oniX]

56. Let me guess ...Oregon doesn't count.

[davidpdx]

64. Ding Ding Ding

We have a winner!

[nichomachus]

59. Latte liberals don't wear Birkenstocks

That is so last century -- Keen sandals or nothing.

Everyone, please try to keep up.

[Straight Shooter]

61. Oregonian checking in, here. A Birkenstock-wearing critter.

May not be as cool as the other brand names mentioned, but I get my sandals at Sierra Trading Post. :)

[frickaline]

65. pfft ... footwearists

[madrchsod]

67. i rarely wear shoes unless i`m forced to.....

"hillary is 44" is one of those "agent provocateurs" i swear it is run by a republican operative in cheney`s basement

[DevonRex]

68. Hey. Colorado is Birk Nation. With SOCKS. nt

[boppers]

69. Birkenstocks? In this rain?

That'd cut waaaaay down on the lifespan of the shoes.

This PDX'er wears Teva's when he wears sandals (most of the time I wear boots). :evilgrin:

[DesEtoiles]

71. Whaaaaaaa? I thought we were "latte-drinking trust fund babies"

[MadBadger]

76. Buffenbarger did say birkenstock wearing

[DesEtoiles]

72. but...but...Hillary wants to be the President for "all America, north, south, east and west"

[msallied]

75. Clearly the fools know nothing about Oregon.

While there are a good many tree-huggers in Portland and Eugene, the eastern half of the state is all cowboy/redneck. The same can be said for Washington. Not a damn thing wrong with that. Besides, since when does any good Democrat demean hippies? WTF??

[Radio_Lady]

79. Yes, we are kind of split down the middle. You just have to drive past Mt. Hood to realize that.

Eastern Oregon will go Republican, but it will be balanced out by the more dense population in Western Oregon.

Maybe there are some hippies in The Dalles or Hood River, but I haven't met them.

At least, that's what I think will happen.

Cordially,

Radio Lady in Oregon

[msallied]

82. I agree completely.

Washington is very much the same way. Cross the Cascades and you're in a completely different state, both climate-wise and politically. Those people have been trying to break off from the rest of the state for decades and form their own state. It'll never happen, but for all intents and purposes, we are like two states in one.

[book_worm]

78. Is that some kind of cult site?

[Radio_Lady]

80. Are you asking about --

www.hillaryis44.com

No, it's not.

It's people who want to believe that Hillary will be our 44th President.

Cordially,

Radio Lady in OR

[boppers]

81. Be prepared to be astounded if you decide to visit.

Logic, reason, even "facts" are nowhere in evidence.

[Radio_Lady]

83. I have been to that site earlier on, thank you very much.

No use talking to me anymore.

We voted on Monday (mail in ballots) and are awaiting the results on May 20th.

See my journal for the "extra" suggestion I made there.

Thanks a bunch!

86. I was talking to the poster upthread...

..but thanks for the link. Looks like you're a local to me, I'll have to check out some of the stuff you've been doing!
