to smear *herself* than anyone could ever do.

Don't look for my shoulder to cry on when she crashes during the Primary, because I will be too busy getting someone elected that can actually win for the Democratic party in the General Election.

its a hard choice these days as to decide what's Fair in a Contested Election to post and worry about Backlash...and yet we are Supposed to be a DEMOCRACY with FREEDOM OF SPEECH FOR ALL CITIZENS.

So....one often has to make hard choices...but, if one Really Believes in "Freedom of Speech" to provide Information & Counter's to the Corporate Controlled Mainstream Media then it is important to try to keep Information and Humor/Satire out there.. for Intelligent Inquiring Voters to be challenged.

So, while this might have some folks "Hair on Fire" some "Cringing" and others "Applauding"...we are supposed to live in a country that Fights Wars to bring "Freedom of Speech" and "Democracy" to Third Worlders....so We Certainly Should Support those same Values here at Home in the USA.

PRACTICe WHAT WE PREACH! Or WHO THE HELL ARE WE?

K&R Your Post!

by LYING, not misspeaking, but LYING on several occassions about her Tuzla experience and also about her role in Northern Ireland.
And how about her insistence that she NEVER supported NAFTA when there is also video showing that she did...
She's becoming a caricature of herself.

A site that used to be Obamaniacs in 2008 but is now utterly over the Moon for Hillary in 2015. You would be far more comfortable there than here but it's a lot buggier software and harder format to navigate and there's one glaring difference, there is basically no moderation and people will tell you to FOAD or DIAF or GFY in the twitch of a hummingbird's ass.

Go ahead, Google a snippet of text and you'll find the original, it's still there, don't take my word for it.

Is this from Hills emails?
Is it another sex fantasy written by Sanders?
Is is a person on the Internet writing it?
The intro was so disjointed in its writing I'm not sure what I just read.

Top Definition
REMF
Rear Echelon Mother Fucker. One who has no frontline or combat experience, and therefore makes huge errors at expense of human life.

The REMF's decisions make sense only if you think of human beings as statistics. This is the main problem with REMFs- they think of people as numbers.

EXAMPLE:
Shit! That REMF canceled the supply drop! We're on our own for this one!

And, yes...it does remind one of the "Power Couple."

Quote from Chapter 9:

I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy – they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together and let other people clean up the mess they had made.

This is just brilliant satire, imo, right up there with the old National Lampoon in its heyday (early to mid '70s) and is on par with Michael O'Donoghue or Doug Kenney in their prime.

Sinbad and Sheryl Crow?
