Mark Warner is a FREAKIN' rich boy CORPORATE TOOL -
On C-SPAN now.

His best joke? He made so much money on his investments in telecomm industry that he LIKES it when people's cell phones ring while he is speaking. You hear an irritating ring. Mark hears ch-ching ch-ching!

:rofl: NOT

M'F'ing DLC CORPORATE TOOL!

Damn - I had C-SPAN on to hear Feingold and he was great. What a freakin' nauseating contrast Warner is.

:puke:

2. So, I guess you're going to condemn Lamont too....
After all, he has even more dough than Warner, and made his selling security systems to gated communities for the ultra-rich.....

3. He made his money by anticipating a market in cell phones
when lots of people didn't see it or laughed at the notion.

In other words, he's self made.

You have a problem with self made individuals?

8. Mark Warner
I thought Warner was good on his feet. in fact he is better than any senator who is thinking of running in 08. he's a force to be reckon with especially if Hillary Clinton doesn't run. personally I think he's more qualified than she is. remember folks Governors have been the most elected to the Whitehouse not boring Senators.

Edited on Sun Jun-04-06 06:49 PM by bigdarryl
Mass your right he did only serve one term because of the law in Virgina. My mistake he did leave with a 70 percent approval rating which if he was allowed to run a second time he would have won easily. he's definitely running in 08.

34. At lease he finally started to talk about how we got into Iraq
tonight, instead of his standard line of forget how we got there, blah blah blah. He also talked about bush breaking laws instead of hedging that question like he did on that fateful, Face the Nation a couple of months back. He probably heard a lot about that FTN appearance and has become more aggressive towards bushco since then. I'm happy about that because I had cooled considerably toward him. I'm going to rewatch in an hour and give him another look.

16. Just two Democratic Presidents since 1968, both southern governors.
This historical record may mean little but considering the fruitless Democratic nominating process it might be something to thinking about in 2008.

I don’t know who would make the best candidate in '08 but I would not hesitate to eliminate Hillary and Kerry right now as un-electable.

39. Different times. Different circumstances. i think the country is
now ready for a progressive candidate from anywhere- not necessarily from the South. I still feel Kerry has a lot of appeal and can successfully reach out to the South and Mid-West this time.

17. Not being as well informed and familiar with
all the amazing experts, here on DU, I decided to listen to a couple of his earlier speeches and, contrary to some of the prevailing views, and realizing that those speeches were painstakingly well rehearsed, I found him to be smooth, empathetic and well worth digging into a lot more than I had thought.
However he did not really rock my boat...competent, detail oriented, earnest, but just didn't inspire me as presidential material. So far out stripping chimp chump, of course, that he appeared pretty awesome.

Maybe he's just off his feed, today, or maybe Russ F , like the pearl of great price, has just spoiled it for lesser beings.

27. For the time I've been here, yes.
Warner has gotten off fairly light. But if he starts to look like a viable option for the Dems, the attacks will ramp up, trust me.

You should try being a Kerry supporter for a day or two. Then you'll really know.

31. Even the threads that start positive on Warner get ruined here
I'd love someone to start a thread "Warner owns Halliburton" and compare that with the "Lamont owns Halliburton" thread. The Warner thread would be full of foaming at the mouth hatred while the Lamont thread would be 90% supportive. It is really depressing to see that DU has just as many intolerant hypocrites as freerepublic. I guess there aren't many belivers in the big tent as I thought.

36. As if nobody is allowed to have an honest negative opinion about a
Democratic candidate?

What is this nonsense?

I have negative opinions of several Democratic politicians (as opposed to all Republican candidates--that goes without saying), and it's not a game and I'm not just being contrarian. I honestly think that they are not what the country needs now.

37. Just like Angelides and Westly have honest negative opinions about
eachother? Lets see how well that plays out in November. I am all for criticism and debate, but I am not for "dem candidate x is a bitch/weiner/butthole/etc." It serves no purpose. It makes republicans happy. It doesn't yeild intelligent discourse. There are constructive criticisms and there are monkeys flinging poo in their cages. This kind of thread is closer to the later.

All I know is that these are dangerous times, and bland pretty boys aren't what this country needs.

29. One word: Bilderberg
That should say it all about Warner.

Also, is he the one w/the jumpy caterpillar eyebrows?

43. Ayup, he was there. Along with the likes of the evil Richard Perle
Try some of these links.

Not sure about his eyebrows. ;)

47. Thanks for the link!
That makes it easier to knock him off my list now.

Btw, it was Tim Kaine (new governor of VA) that had the jumpy eyebrows during the Democratic rebuttal to the State of the Union Address this year.

30. I heard him speak at a breakfast I attended.
He left no impression on me whatsoever. That doesn't mean he wouldn't be good at whatever he endeavors, except for public speaking.

45. A self-made "rich boy"
Who developed his company from nothing. I don't blame him for loving the sound of cell phones.

He's one to watch, in my opinion.

48. Well said!
Considering our 2 previous Governors--Jim "No Car Tax" Gilmore and George "My Daddy Used To Coach the Redskins" Allen--He had a helluva mess to clean up and did a fine job.

53. FLASHBACKS!!!!!!!
Gilmore-Allen-Gilmore-Allen

I was actually glad when that putz became a Senator...

And yup, Warner did a great job. Is there anyway for VA to get a true Leftie as Gov? Hell no. It'll never, ever happen. But, Warner came in, did a great job, c;leaned up VA's financial mess the Repubs made, did some decent Progressive stuff, and helped Kaine make it to Richmond.

50. He is rich because he is a smart businessman

He saw an opportunity and he was shrewd enough to go for it and make his fortune.

Not like the chimp who got rich from a sweetheart deal on the Texas Rangers set up by daddy's buddies.

52. Oh Come On Now, Seriously?
It was obviously a light hearted and humorous joke. Why are you taking something so petty so seriously?

And when did investing wisely become an evil thing?

54. There is nothing wrong with all successful businesspeople....
I know some DUers believe this but it is not true. There are many in the business community who share our common values.

55. If money indicated values Ted Kennedy would be the posterboy for the DLC
Cmon people.

Smart articulate people make money. That is the way the world works. Unfortunately inherited money whether legally obtained or not works better in the poltical realm.
