***Official*** They're all weasels anyway thread.

How could we have started out with such a great field of candidates and had it come down to these two BM eaters?

I'm un-inspired.

At least there's still some progressives in congress.

1. not impressed

we ended up with the very two folk the corporated media crowned as front-runners :thumbsdown:

[laststeamtrain]

3. Hey skit, hope all's well. Remind me to kick your ass someday.

This is a fine mess, isn't it?

Oh well, play on.

[Skittles]

5. ah it just sucks

I cannot believe this shit

[sanjiadem]

2. I couldn't agree more ...

I have a DraftGore sticker right next to the Edwards for President sticker on my van and still hope there is some way one of these two might get the nomination. While I believe Hillary is being treated unfairly and that the Obama 'momentum' has tainted the M$Ms handling of debates and the so-called dialogue, I am no fan of either.

7. The thing about Gore...

If he'd been the president for the last two terms, would Lieberman be the presumptive Democratic candidate?

I'm not going to sleep well tonight.

I'm having nightmares when I'm awake. Why should I think being asleep will be any different?

[sanjiadem]

9. Lieberman is a pussy

He does anything the President tells him to - ergo, if Gore was President ... sleep well.

4. "BM eaters?"

What do you mean by "BM?"

[laststeamtrain]

6. What do you mean by BM? You tell me first. n/t

[Jamastiene]

11. I was referencing your OP...

You are the one who brought it up first. You tell me first.

12. dont push it

im not sure i want to know

[Leopolds Ghost]

8. Well, I prefer Obama to Hillary. At least he cuts a Reaganesque figure (in a liberal way)

Hillary is divisive AND substance-free.

At least, not any substance that appeals to the working poor...

except for infamously scapegoating lower-income "deadbeats" who are
refusing to pay for health insurance and a house in the suburbs and
therefore don't deserve to have kids, presumably.

10. "Reaganesque"?

Jeez.

He thought movies he wasn't in were his life experience.

Fuck Ronnie RayGun. & the imaginary horse he rode in on.

[Leopolds Ghost]

13. I dislike Reagan too, but he was a great actor--great at looking avuncular, like he cared about you.

It was all an act, BTW.

The guy was the classic resentment-filled macho old John Wayne caricature.

Just saying, "they're all weasels anyway" so it's a good thing that Obama
is able to capture the same theatrical tactics that won Reagan 48 states
and delivered half the south for JFK (another "phenomenon" candidate who
did more for this country posthumously than he did in life -- although
he did save the world from Nuclear Armageddon which is more than Nixon
would have done).

[laststeamtrain]

14. I get you, man.

I can dig it.

I'm just one man-one vote. Well, actually, I influence, maybe six or so people, no biggie...

I'm just so un-inspired.

Obama sounds, so often, like an evangelist in a revival tent meeting c. 1920.

It doesn't do it for me.

I'm thinking maybe 'bitches' get things done.

I don't know. I know so little. It could all be put in a DU post. That's how little I know.

Thanks for your thoughtful response.

Nixon tried to kill me. It wasn't 'theater' to me. It was real.

Better days ahead, I hope...

:hi:
