Can you say “RIOTS” across america if somehow Hillary gets in.

If there are riots, we all know who’s to blame -Boooosh!

The convention’s gonna be more fun than a barrel of monkeys.

Can that even be said anymore, or will McCain send you some nasty talking points about what’s allowed?

The Democratic primary has become a game of chicken, and no one wants to blink first. Even when options are available for resolution or at least clarification, both sides refuse to choose anything but a head-on collision. And that’s exactly what they will get in Denver.

Imagine if these goofs were actually in the White House and this were Al Queda instead of their own voters.

I had thought the the purpose was to allow political considerations to influence a close match-up. Guess I was wrong.

The Clintons don’t play chicken. They won’t blink. This isn’t about the party. It’s about them, as it always has been. If the party is decimated by it… so be it.

Absolutely right. And besides, Hillary’s entitled.

Gore wouldn’t have a chance, anyway. Heck, he couldn’t even win his own home state in 2000.

Exactly what I was thinking. Imagine this kind of incompetence in all the arenas of our lives the Dems want to control.

Lawnchair? check…
Cooler for Beer?… yep…
Small gas burner for Jiffy Pop?… uh huh….
Conceal Carry Permit from Douglas county… yeppers…

Have to see if I can borrow a good telescope though…

Democrats kneecap Hillary, themselves

I didn’t know the Dems hired Tonya Harding…this should be fun to watch…pass the popcorn!

What are you talking about, I’m jealous of you. You get to enjoy the feel-good movie of the year for free. Live.

I agree, if we were electing candidates on issues this year it would be much more civil. However this ‘08 campaign is going to end up all about race, gender and religion (aka Mitt)..if issues were at the center here would we be seeing a John McCain with a Linsey Graham standing by his side 24/7. The illegal immigration debate was about issues and you see how far that got us. It got us McCain/Graham/Liberman. So you play the cards we are being dealt this year and its all about to blow right up in our faces as race and gender.

Now Marc, you know as well as I do that the GOP is to blame for everything in Michigan. Jennifer Granholm is Christ returned to earth with a spotless record. The only reason why Michigan is in a one-state recession is because of Engler, GOP politicians, NAFTA, insourcing, outsourcing, the DeVos family, Toyota, etc…..

I have yet to see anybody ascribe blame for Michigan’s problems where they belong. We are an industrialized state being led by a Governor and party that thinks it is still 1959. Instead of setting the state (and its not insignificant resources) up for the future Granholm, MI Democrats, and the unions are attempting to build a time machine to go back to a time when the economy was fueled by manufacturing. It’s time for a change in leadership to individuals (I don’t care which party) who are forward looking instead of pandering for more auto manufacturing jobs and setting up worthless PR campaigns to designate some cities as “cool.”

Yes,

Your crystal ball, and mine, are running on the same wavelength.

Actually it was the Democrat controlled MI House that went on vacation and the Dem. Speaker of the House said that the deal with dead on Wednesday.

There you go again…thinking that the GOP would actually do something right when it comes to politics. I like JC because not only does he have experience, a good conservative record but he also has a lot more on the ball than McShame and could actually get some conservatives enthused about the ticket.

How about JC Watts? There’s an actual conservative who could be an asset to the country and be a possibility for 2012.

And would we be putting Watts or Dr. Rice on the ticket at this time because of their ability or their demography? For that matter, I like Michael Steele.

I respect and admire both and think they’d be great candidates who I could get enthusiastic about far more than Triceratops BUT I don’t want the GOP to choose a VP nominee based on having to pick a “black one” to counteract the candidacy of Obama. That’s called pandering and it is repulsive no matter who does it. More importantly, it doesn’t work.

The better strategy is to put together a competent and experienced ticket which looks and acts presidential far before “day one” to contrast the food fight currently going on in the Democrat party. If the GOP is going to have a minority on the ticket, it needs to be for the right reason and not just a place holder.

Democrats kneecap Hillary, themselves, in Florida and Michigan

Is this supposed to be bad news? All the pundits (no matter their ideological bent) look and Michigan & Florida and openly admit that they don’t have a clue how this can be resolved. The longer it goes on the longer the argument that we shouldn’t trust the nation to the party who can’t even agree among themselves!

John Zogby threw another element into the fire when he claimed that an effort had begun to draft Al Gore as the nominee with Barack Obama as his running mate.

Even better news! Now, there seems to be some dissent even with the choices offered of the “historic” first woman or black President. So….. back to the tried and true white male? And Al Gore of all people??? I can only imagine the fun if this story has any truth behind it!!!

The Democratic primary has become a game of chicken, and no one wants to blink first. Even when options are available for resolution or at least clarification, both sides refuse to choose anything but a head-on collision. And that’s exactly what they will get in Denver.

Bring it on! Let’s watch the Democrats air decades worth of dirty linen in public as the special interests start attacking one another.

How about JC Watts? There’s an actual conservative who could be an asset to the country and be a possibility for 2012.
