1. what kind of democrat talks like that! i'm poutraged!

[mopinko]

3. well hell

i think it helps to be staring at the 6-0.
they told me when i hit 60, i was allowed to say whatever i thought. apparently i missed the memo that this no applies to the wet behind the ears. sigh.
(not like i waited till i was 60. i didn't. but it does seem to work a little differently.)

5. you're supposed to no longer care about the crap you get when you speak your mind.

it doesn't mean you don't get crap when you speak your mind, it just means you're not supposed to be bothered by it.

you're supposed to just throw your hand dismissively and say, "ahhhh! kids today!"

but then i'm only 5-0, so what do i know.

[mopinko]

8. kids today

yeah, works for me.

2. Good Luck

I don't know if the Democratic Party could survive that way although it would sure be nice to see just once.

Famous from Will Rogers all the way back in the 30's.

I am not a member of any organized party — I am a Democrat.

You've got to be optimist to be a Democrat, and you've got to be a humorist to stay one.

4. maybe we could at least

stop shooting bullshit bullets.

6. I joined the Democratic Party in 1967, as soon as I was old enough to do so.

I participated in GOTV by handing out bumper stickers and campaign posters in 1960, and 1964.

Circular Firing Squads is what we do BEST.
Our candidates are Forged in Fire,
and are better for it.

It is actually not near as bad as it used to be.
It was much worse when we used to pick our own candidates
before the Giant Corporations took over that responsibility.

7. i am sure that us all true, its just

there is a difference between a fact and a slur, between a philosophy and a mental rut.

i'd just like it if our own side would stick to clean fights.
