Me: Can we get Ronald Reagan Jr. to speak at the Dem convention? I'd love it!

J17: i'm not sure he would, maybe he might but only to specifically talk about stem cell research or something like that...

:freak:

Discuss :P

3. They're either listening, or

Rod Serling was here.

I prefer to think they are among us.

What do you think JK's DU name is?

How about JE's?

I think I'll start a lounge thread. Hmmm.

4. LOL.

If only I could have inserted the Twilight theme Song in my thread!

5. hehe, good find

i knew ron reagan really wants to be an independent so i knew he would not want to speak as just another democrat. but on an issue which is very important to him he probably would do it.

7. Well, I think this is interesting. Whether or not it's about great minds

thinking alike, or someone somehow connected to the campaign reading DU. ;)

I recalled our conversation right after I read the news. :hi:

8. No it is "powers to be" not "powers that be".

Hehe. Way off topic (sorry) but "powers that be" always reminds me of that line by John Nichols in Bowling for Columbine and cracks me up because he screwed it up like that....

"Law enforcement, if you want to call them that, were here, and they were shaking in their shoes. They were scared to death...they thought this was going to be another Waco. Certain people, namely my ex-wife , said I’m a radical. I’m a wild man.... If the people find out how they’ve been ripped off, and enslaved in this country by the government, by the powers to be, they will revolt...with merciless anger."

Of course he forgot about the powers not to be and that is the question...

9. He he. For a moment I thought I was wrong.

:P

I come from a family who is English challenged. :P

11. Opps, forgot my sarcasm tag

:)

It was just funny because he is in the middle of this rant and screws it up. Some people , namely my ex-wife... lmao.

10. I hope that the Kerry campaign has people who are as good

hopefully better then the DU "brain trust" These people get paid to sit around and come up with ideas like these.

[mzmolly]

12. Well, some of us may have missed our calling? J17 you listenin'

;)

[Tweed]

17. True true, get that resume to the Kerry campaign ASAP!

Need more ideas like this one

[zbdent]

13. Any news on David Brock?

"Blinded by the Right"?

[mzmolly]

14. I like that idea. I've got to read that book!

:hi:

[zbdent]

15. I keep wanting my wife to read that book

when she says that I'm being too political when I blame Repukes for a lot of stuff, and point out what they're doing to Clinton/Kerry/Edwards/Dean/Kucinich/etc.

18. Probably, Trippi used to lurk here during the Primaries.

OR so the "rumor" went. I thought someone actually substantiated this rumor, but I couldn't find that post.

Who's to say Trippi or some staffers aren't lurking, if not even posting.

You've got to figure that on a site called DemocraticUnderground.com at least a few high level people are going to be checking it out and probably participating.
