1. Gordon Knows.

[Binka]

26. I Just Said the Same Thing When I Saw The First Picture

Proud to be on the same wave length berni! :thumbsup:

[berni_mccoy]

46. Oh Binka, I could only dream of being on your wavelength!

:loveya: :hug: :yourock: :headbang:

[Binka]

47. My Heavens

:blush: I think the world of you Berni. You are one of Du's Major League Sluggers! :loveya: Thank you for the compliment btw. :hi:

[catgirl]

35. President Obama.

Kick!!

[Mags]

2. he looks a lot better then he did last night. If Gordon saw the debate

then I'm sure he knows.

[GarbagemanLB]

3. don't you have a klan rally to attend?

[Mags]

5. wow.... draging the pond are ya?

[democrattotheend]

7. Whoa, that's below the belt.

The poster did not say anything racist.

[GarbagemanLB]

14. He called me 'you people' in another thread and assumed I was black because I support Obama

Fuck him.

[redqueen]

20. Yup... that one's got a trail of slime behind it a mile long. (nt)

[Terran]

23. Oh

Ok. I take it back.

[Tarheel_Dem]

21. you know you go so overboard trying to protect feelings of Hillary

supporters that you come off as disingenuous. Your avatar belies your history on DU.

[democrattotheend]

44. I'm taking 2 days off work next week to help with GOTV in Philly

And I have driven up there 3 times in the past 5 weeks to help out. I just don't think insulting Hillary supporters really helps Obama.

You can read some of my diaries documenting my experience volunteering at http://www.purplestatepundit.com/blog if you want to check my credentials as an Obama supporter.

[woolldog]

34. what board have you been reading over the past few months?

[Terran]

18. K, that was too much.

Get real please.

[GainesT1958]

24. That's a little harsh, isn't it?

From one committed Barrack supporter to another, let's not delve into Charlie Gibson territory, OK?

Thanks!

B-)

[jkshaw]

43. HA, Garbageman!

Quick.

[ecstatic]

49. Continue to call it like you see it!

If the shoe fits, s/he needs to wear it!

[flpoljunkie]

10. You sound "bitter."

[GainesT1958]

31. And thanks a bunch, FLPOL...

For posting those pics from the Raleigh Town Hall--being from North Carolina and a former Raleigh resident, I was waiting for someone to do that!:D

And he certainly DOES look presidential--something not lost on Gordy, as one can tell from his face and the obvious spring in his step in those pics, too. Man, I know he'll be relieved to have a president close to HIS Party back in the White House again!

B-)

[flpoljunkie]

40. You are most welcome, GainesT1958!

[haymakeragain]

13. Obama will be the nominee, so you need to decide how

to ask for forgiveness, but you will probably just disappear like you came, in the dark of night on someone's dime.

[Mags]

45. If he is the Pres, do I have to disappear? Sounds so communist.

[Vinca]

4. Obama looks like the president. nt

[FightingIrish]

6. Damn, he looks presidential.

That wasn't slamming Hillary so I'd just as soon not hear from Ignored unless they have something positive to add.

[GainesT1958]

39. I recall going...

To a rally for then-Sen. Al Gore in October of '92 in that same arena(Minges Coliseum). Back then it wasn't air-conditioned (thank goodness it is now), and we waited an hour for Al. But even dripping wet with sweat, it was worth the wait. I know those in there--and, undoubtedly, outside it--think this is also well worth the wait!:D

B-)

[EFerrari]

9. How can he possibly look so rested.

Nice pix!

[Austinitis]

11. Too bad no one cares after he got owned nt

[haymakeragain]

17. Can't wait for the Clinton campaign death throes to stop twitching.

It's morbid.

[Tarheel_Dem]

19. Obviously, you care. You took the time to post in this inconsequential

thread. Bitter, are we?

[redqueen]

25. Hahahahahaha

"why won't this shit stick to the wall?!" *throws tantrum*

[Tarheel_Dem]

30. Exactly.....

:rofl: He's been a very busy bee for the past couple of days. They smelled blood in the water, and came running. Sorry......NOT THIS TIME!

[onenote]

22. yep, those folks in the photos don't care. Yep. And is the sun green on your planet?

Try visiting the real world. Its really not as scary as you apparently think it is.

[flpoljunkie]

27. You sound "bitter."

[blm]

36. By who? That mess of a human who couldn't even look at the audience while she lied?

Only those with little integrity could applaud her lies and cheap theatrics.

[EFerrari]

37. Why do I have trouble believing on of your hobbies is philosophy?

:rofl:

[Binka]

50. That Is a Typo It Should Read..... Politics, Falafel

[EFerrari]

51. LOL

You're bad, Binka.

[Windy]

41. The immaturity of Clinton supporters is frankly stunning. n/t

[FrenchieCat]

[Zachstar]

29. Hopefully that will not be a hard one for the Clinton supporters after she exits.

[woolldog]

38. lol, that's such a great photo of McCain.

[JackORoses]
