When She Said, "Join Us"...

[CorpGovActivist]

... I felt like I was being tempted to help rule the Empire.

- Dave

[youthere]

1. I'm always reminded of that scene in Robin Hood ..

(the Kevin Costner/Alan Rickman version) where Nottingham says "Join us......or...DIE." LOL

[CorpGovActivist]

2. Too Late...

... your headline sent my synapses to Men in Tights.

:rofl:

- Dave

[Naturyl]

3. Join her? Nah.

I'll vote for her in November if she is the nominee, just to keep a Republican out.

But join her? I don't think I can. The crowd she hobnobs with wouldn't allow me on the premises.

[CorpGovActivist]

4. Painfully, I'm Hearing from Extended Family...

... who say if it's Huckabee and Hillary, they'll vote Huckabee.

*wince*

- Dave

[Blackhatjack]

6. And that is what Hillary will face in a General Election contest...n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

9. Those All-Important Swing States...

... in the Upper Appalachian/border states/Upper South cluster are the linchpin of this year's victory in the GE. I include SE Ohio in that.

- Dave

[long_green]

23. I said for a long time that the "Hillary Can't Win" stuff

was a myth. I don't believe that any longer. I know very few people who intend to vote for her if she is the nominee. I don't consider these people to be progressives but they are Democrats who HATE the GOP. And if they won't vote for her...

[CorpGovActivist]

24. Wedge, Thy Name Is Hillary n/t

[Naturyl]

8. Expect to hear a lot of that.

Hillary supporters tend to underestimate the level of bigotry and hatred against their candidate that exists in this country.

The right-wing has been setting Hillary up as Satan for well over a decade. After a while, it starts to sink into the culture.

[CorpGovActivist]

10. If Huckabee Is the GOP Nom...

... he's going to have built-in appeal to a lot of poorer, rural swing states.

- Dave

[maddezmom]

27. not surprising really

I remember you saying a long time ago they were replublicans. :hi:

[CorpGovActivist]

29. Nooooooooooooooooooooo

Nooooooooo

Nooooooooo

Wow.

Nooooooooo

:rofl:

Them thar's fightin' words.

- Dave

[CorpGovActivist]

32. UMWA Dems...

... by and large.

- Dave

[SammyWinstonJack]

26. I wish Hillary and her ego would take a hike. Same with Obama. With them, it's about them, not us.

[CorpGovActivist]

30. .

[casus belli]

5. Borg is more like it.

Speaking of which, how are the kids #3,456,754 of 303,190,205?

[CorpGovActivist]

7. Oh, Man! I Bet Swamp Rat Could Do a Wicked...

... sendup of that.

- Dave

[Yael]

11. Tempted? You were being instructed to OBEY the empire

[CorpGovActivist]

12. I'm a Union-Steeped Progressive...

... "like my father before me."

; )

- Dave

[Yael]

13. Okay, then

BOW and obey.

:P

[Deja Q]

39. Now that I've read that from you,

I have more faith that maybe she really is a good candidate and I've let my fear of H1Bs demolishing jobs and wages go well beyond the level of "empty paranoia". (She's been consistently right on some issues, especially foreign ones, but her way too open support of helping other countries has made many unsure of their own futures.)

I will... have faith. After all, for what I have read I know there's a lot I have not. (Too busy with trying to figure out things to help MY future...)

[Guaranteed]

14. Yup. New Hampshire- The Empire Strikes Back.

But the Jedi will return!

[CorpGovActivist]

15. Where's That Plucky Little Droid When You Need Him? n/t

[Guaranteed]

20. Bill Schneider just said "The Empire struck back," after talking

about how blogs are theorizing that the voting machines might have been tampered with.

I think he's been reading DU.

[CorpGovActivist]

21. Or...

... we're all so deeply programmed with that line, "Join me...", that the synaptic pathways take us to that scene.

Her speechwriter should be shot for that line.

:rofl:

- Dave

[deacon]

16. mccain and hillary, both unapologetic about the iraq war. No thanks. n/t

[CorpGovActivist]

17. Pass the Pepto n/t

[shance]

18. Disappointing, divisive and transparent. There are virtually no differences between our candidates.

Other than the fact we have a woman.

Please show me where Obama's senatorial record has been any better, or Edwards, what limited time he was in the Senate.

That may threaten you that a woman could, and should be president, God only knows why. However many of us here in America realize it is time for a change in that regard.

It's time to share the power and the presidency.

In fact, it's actually past time.

I think having over 200 years of wealthy white male presidencies, it seems the time for change is overdue.

We need balance, because the scales are so tipped and have been for too long.

In addition it is not as if Hillary Clinton is a liberal.

She is what a true Republican "should" be.

All our Democratic candidates are actually.

That should show us how far to the right this country and our political system has been pulled.

[ellisonz]

19. "She is what a true Republican "should" be."

[CorpGovActivist]

31. Political Spectrum Shift? Say It Ain't So n/t

[Hoof Hearted]

43. All three candidates are solid liberals, with Hillary furthest left of the three.

From ontheissues.org.

ANY of our top three can and will blow the Republicans out of the water this year. It's going to be delicious.

[CorpGovActivist]

45. I Could Nail All of Them in Dodgeball...

... from where I stand.

:rofl:

- Dave

[Hoof Hearted]

47. Well, make sure you get pictures.

share and share alike and all that.

[CorpGovActivist]

22. I Have No Problem ...

... with a woman heading up a nuclear power. For heaven's sake, we should have been first.

The list of women who have lead their countries in the 20th century is not long enough, but it's full of formidable leaders.

The list of women who will have led in the 21st century will hopefully be longer.

- Dave

[shance]

33. Then why attack Hillary, when the policy differences are non-existent between our candidates?

If its not about sex, then defend your stance other than making accusations which have no merit and no legitimate argument?

If you have a legitimate difference, then please provide it.

[CorpGovActivist]

34. I Reject the Premise of Your Headline n/t

[shance]

48. LOL! Of course you do. You don't even answer the question!

Your inability to answer the question explains your "mystery" as a so called activist it inevitably seems...

[CorpGovActivist]

49. I See Enormous Differences Among Edwards, Obama, and Clinton...

... on policies about which I care deeply.

- Dave

[shance]

51. Oh spare us the drama Dave and bring all those tremendous difference on!!!

We are waiting my friend.

[CorpGovActivist]

52. Go Read the Candidates' Websites...

If you think you're up to the challenge of bringing this Prodigal Clinton Supporter back into the fold, by all means: have at it.

[IdesOfOctober]

53. BWAH! That's like Kirk turning to Spock and saying, "Spare us the drama, Science Officer!"

I nearly wet myself.

[Deja Q]

37. What's your take on Margaret Thatcher, former PM of Great Britain?

:evilgrin:

[CorpGovActivist]

38. I Prefer Gro

Nice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro_Harlem_Brundtland">try.

- Dave

[Deja Q]

40. D'oh

:rofl:

[CorpGovActivist]

42. *smile*

:P

- Dave

[Deja Q]

25. When did she say that, and under what context?

[CorpGovActivist]

28. During Her Victory Speech Last Night...

... as seen already on http://video.google.com/videosearch?hl=en&q=clinton+victory+speech+new+hampshire&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wv">YouTube.

Best,

- Dave

[Deja Q]

36. Best indeed.

I utterly and sincerely hope she's sincere with the God-given talk, future, hope, and the rest of it. No audacity from me, I cannot understate that at all.

For if it is a game, her talk about America's future, let's just give Iran all the nukes they want and blow this sodding planet to radioactive cinders and be done with it. We know they want to.

[CorpGovActivist]

41. Leela '12?

; )

- Dave

[Tatiana]

35. Wall Street already has.

Can Democratic primary voters be that far behind?

I dunno.

[scarletwoman]

44. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile. (nt)

[CorpGovActivist]

46. Poor Alice Krige n/t

[shance]

50. SW**** For the record, I will NEVER be absorbed by a wealthy misogynistic male patriarchy

nor do I hope you will either.
