"I got your back!"
What's with the signs at Hillary's rallies saying, "I got your back"?? Of course those are signs made up/approved by the campaign.Talk about playing the victim card! So her fans are there to "protect" her and she claims OBAMA isn't tough enough to "take the heat in the kitchen"?! :eyes:

1. I don't know about that.
But, then, I am pretty much a Neanderthal when it comes to contemporary slang (I don't get out, much).

I thought "I got your back" was much the same as "I've got you covered".

And that was always applied to the aggressor in the action.

So I believe they are casting HRC as the hard-charger here.

Of course, I could also be 180 degrees off-track.

Happens all the time.

Tom

2. Well, kind of...
it means they'll be there to stick up for her or protect her from anyone who may attack her. They're on her side.

4. OK, thanks.
I knew that you could clear that up for me, jen.

That's why I love you.

Remember?

10. Nah. They're enablers. The people who encourage her to keep going even though she can't win.
Sad, really.

3. Using John Kerry's phrase from 2004
That's plagiarism.

6. I think it's a typo. Supposed to say "I got your bock"


Hillary needs to be able to reach a pint quickly.

She'll do anything.

8. That's what happens when a campaign devolves into being all about her.
