  You met Tom DeLay… I thought he was in jail

  In due time Snake. Patience is a virtue.

  I saw DeLay on TV last night. He didn’t look so good. I hope he gets better and signs on to the McCain campaign, would love to have him out front talking the craziness he was talking last night. Even Chris Mathews couldn’t believe it.

  The Dream Ticket: Any Republican, especially one over seventy, with George Bush and Tom Delay barnstorming. I can’t wait.

  Wrong again Magnum (funny how that just rolls off the tongue).

  Indicted Republicans (Delay) resign.

  Indicted Democrats get appointed to new, more prominent committees (Jefferson)

  And just a legal point. Indicted does not mean convicted. Just FYI.

  Is that the same Chris Mathews that cries when Obama speaks?

  Wow, Huckabee won Kansas. Maybe the race isn’t over yet.

• 7. neocon  |  February 9th, 2008 at 8:16 pm

  We’re not in Kansas anymore Casper. (I couldn’t resist)

• 8. Casper  |  February 9th, 2008 at 8:22 pm

  neocon,
  That was good.

• 9. Casper  |  February 9th, 2008 at 8:26 pm

  Of course you should know that I put a sticker advertising a dance on my visor on Friday and told everybody it was an AdVisor.
  Obviously I have a different sense of humor.

  Hopefully Tom Delay will campaign for McCain.

  I would like to see “W” out there on the stump reminding everybody that electing McCain will guarantee a virtual Bush third term.

  That way Democrats could not possibly lose the general election in November.

  Who really wants to return to the Clinton Era nightmare of Peace and Prosperity?

  Off topic:

  BATON ROUGE, LA — The Obama campaign submitted an urgent request for assistance to the Secretary of State’s Division of Elections today, after receiving widespread reports from Democrats across Louisiana who reported that they were not allowed to vote because their party affiliation had been switched. Hundreds of Louisiana democrats went to the polls to vote in today’s presidential primary and found that they were now on registration lists as Independent or Unaffiliated voters.
  Obama faced a similar hurdle in California, where some poll workers appear to have misinformed independents seeking to vote in the Democratic primary.

  Choosing to go public with complaints, though, is always a political as well as a practical move, and it may increase the sense among some Obama supporters of Clinton dirty tricks —

  Looks like the Clintonistas are resorting to what they do best. After Obama loses, watch disillusioned youth and pissed off blacks fail to show for Hillary in November.

  phnx,

  Could that be one example of the utopia that America was under the Clintons as asserted by LiberlMindless?

  I’ll bet Vince Foster enjoyed all of that peace and prosperity.

• 13. Almiranta  |  February 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

  neocon, betcha the inaccurately self-described “Mind” can’t tell us what Bill DID to generate all that “peace and prosperity”—-or has just ignored that there were several successive quarters of diminishing national product (the sign of a true recession) at the end of his idyllic term. (BTW, not even one quarter of diminshing national product since Bush turned it around about six years ago.)

  I love it when the mindless hordes fall back on the old whine about how great it was under Clinton. (Isn’t it odd that Bill is the only president for whom that once-innocuous phrase is now smutty?) When you think of all they had to ignore, all they had to overlook, all they had to deny, and all they’ve had to forget, to allow them to pretend that we were in any way better off with a Clinton presidency, it boggles the mind.

  This thread does go a long way to proving my point, yet once again, that the radicals just have nothing to bring to the table but mindless spite and malice—not an idea amongst ‘em.

• 14. Matt Margolis  |  February 9th, 2008 at 9:22 pm

  You liberals can attack Tom DeLay all you want, but the man has more integrity than the entire Democratic Party.

• 15. neocon  |  February 9th, 2008 at 9:24 pm

  Spot on Almiranta,

  When you have your head in the sand, or elsewhere, as the Clintonistas did for years, it’s easy to overlook the mess. Ignorance is bliss.

  It appears the Clintons are currently busy tearing apart, and racially dividing the Democratic party.

  BTW, did you hear Shep the other day tell Naomi Wolf - “Don’t Fox me”?

  Priceless.

• 16. sleepygene  |  February 9th, 2008 at 10:07 pm

  Is anyone following the Louisiana resutls? It looks like there are two times as many democrats participating than republicans. This is a state that W won twice. Good times.

• 17. neocon  |  February 9th, 2008 at 10:14 pm

  Did anyone see that Dairy Queen sold more vanilla than chocolate last month? That must mean that the rain forests aren’t producing enough cocoa beans.

  Sleepy, the above sentence makes as much sense as you just did. And, I am still waiting for that skirt count.

• 18. sleepygene  |  February 9th, 2008 at 10:22 pm

  Neocon-

  No skirts here but to dismiss the voter turnout in Louisiana by you is very Bushian. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

• 19. neocon  |  February 9th, 2008 at 10:25 pm

  Sleepy,

  You have heard of Bobby Jindal, right?

• 20. sleepygene  |  February 9th, 2008 at 10:31 pm

  You mean the 36 year old Govenor of Louisiana of Indian decent. No, I have never heard of him.

  Almiranta | February 9th, 2008 at 9:15 pm

  Don’t see that you bring any more to the table than the so-called radicals, Almiranta.

  However, we do see a great deal of sanctimonious name calling, prejudicial rhetoric and for some strange reason, praise for the actions of Bush & Co.; individuals who have just about destroyed not only the Republican party but the country itself.

  So, Almiranta, perhaps it’s time for you to get off your high horse and do a little reality check.

• 22. phnx  |  February 9th, 2008 at 11:40 pm

  sleepy,

  Nice try, McCain is the nominee Hucklbee has no chance, so why vote in a meaningless primary. But go ahead and have another sip of koolaid to help you believe that Republicans won’t show up in November.

  You should be more worried about the racial split in your party. Blacks voting 5 to 1 for Obama, and Hispanics 3 to 1 for Hillary. You are going to have a bigger problem uniting your party to ensure they all turn out than we are.

  huck won 11,000 votes out of several million voters. Not all the Republicans could vote (Due to jobs ect) in the Caucasus.

  I do not consider it a win. And huck would had lost if all republicans could had voted and huck would had clearly lost big if Everyone could had voted.

  11,000 is not all voters, its not a win.

• 24. neocon  |  February 10th, 2008 at 7:30 am

  sleepy,

  You mean the 36 old REPUBLICAN Governor of Louisiana who recently won big and who will rally the state around McCain come November, thanks to Blanco and Nagin.

• 25. sleepygene  |  February 10th, 2008 at 1:16 pm

  Neocon-

  So far 19 million democrats have voted in the primaries/caucuses so far as opposed to 12 million republicans. I don’t doubt the base will rally to McCain, but the energy on democratic side is undeniable. It may not translate in november but I suspect it will.

• 26. phnx  |  February 11th, 2008 at 12:44 am

  Most of the energy seems to be for Obama. If he doesn’t get the nod, the energy will disappear, except among single women over 50, who have burned at least one bra during their lifetime.
