4. I heard it as "No dog in this fight"
which may not be politically correct...but it means I have no favorite...

15. OT -- you're not related to Dolores Ibarruri, the Spanish revolutionary, are you?
I don't know how common a name Ibarruri is in Spain (at least outside of the Basque region of Spain), but I AFAIK it's not that common a name?

Of course, I could be completely wrong, too?

11. I see other people responded ...
I got sidetracked for a bit. What I meant was, I don't have a preference, I have no vested interest in the outcome of the primary, who succeeds in the hunt, since my "dog(s)," all of them, have dropped out.

8. I think the saying is.......
"That dog won't hunt" or "That dog don't hunt"

12. That's a different saying.
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 07:31 PM by Blue_In_AK
What that one means is that a fallacious argument is being made, i.e., instead of saying, "You're full of shit," you can say "That dog don't hunt," and seem much more polite. :P

7. Do we "know why Edwards really quit the race"
From Edwards himself, we know that it had nothing to do with money, nor with Elizabeth's health (thank God).

From a DU POSTER, we "know" that an a friend of the poster, from the Edwards campaign, allegedly said that John didn't want his supporters to vote for him. There was no link, no backup information. I'm not calling that poster a liar; I simply don't know him or her so I can't judge.

If we hear from John Edwards, either publicly or by email on that issue, I'll make my own decision. Even then, I'll vote my conscience.

BTW, before anyone attacks, yes, I will vote for the nominee in the GE. I'm talking about the primaries now.

16. You are so full of crap. Here's a list of trash Hillary supporters have RIGHT NOW on this page:
Edited on Sat Feb-02-08 10:05 PM by cryingshame
Obama pushing gods and guns in Idaho
Obama student of radical black activist
Obama will invade Pakistan
Obama=Black Romney
Obama/Coke
Obama supporters cultists
Obama has no policies

All of these are current threads going right now in this forum and you have the fucking NERVE to say you are sick of the Hillary bashing?

Admit you're biased because you have just been exposed. Maybe you're bitter because your candidate couldn't make it as the one who competes with Hillary.

And this leaves out the Obama will invade Kenya because his father was born there.

Oh, and the Rezco non-story where Obama has not been indicated in ANY wrong doing yet everday, he's supposed to prove he's innocent.
