"you can dress yourselves up and put on aires, you're still just mules in horse's harness....
and you don't fool anybody" ---- scarlett o'hara



does no one understand analogy and metaphor? lipstick on a pig? smelly fish? it time that a spade started being called a spade and it's time to stop crying over tactic and method when a lot of you here are already worried that he is loosing the election.
on one hand you want him to take the high road and get slimed rather risk bad press for fighting back.
on the other hand you question his skill and strategy as if any one of use could have assembled the campaign he assembled and navigated it through that primary season.
make up your minds and grow a set.

we should appreciate that he finally framed the mccaint campaign in the used toilet paper where it belongs and presented it as it really is and basically 'don't be fooled by this shit'

don't cry fowl now and joined the crybabies on the other side who can dish it out then prent they can't take it.
we have a candidate with the both a spine and a brain, lets not start second guessing and deconstructing now.

2. That was Hattie McDaniel's great line.

She played Mammy. We still use that line often in our household. That and her other great line from the movie: "waiting like a spider."

3. McCan't camp crying crocodile tears over spilt milk.
As they lead us to hell in a handbasket on a bridge to nowhere.

Apologize? Thanks but, no thanks.

5. Actually, it was Scarlett quoting Mammy's comment made ....
in reference to both Scarlett and Rhett. She relayed the story to Rhett on their honeymoon to explain why she wasn't buying Mammy a gift. Later Rhett jokingly confronts Mammy when they are on better terms following the birth of Bonnie.
