Yeah, they read that as a riff on President Obama's success.

You give the keynote speech on year one. Four years later, POOF! You're in the White House. Well, that's not a rock-solid guaranteed formula for success. It happened to happen to Barack Obama. But as so many radio promoters have said to me - that was a unique situation of "lightening in a bottle." JUST BECAUSE you get picked to give the convention keynote speech does NOT mean you're guaranteed the Oval Office. You just become a member of the "POSSIBLY most likely to succeed" club. They forgot about that. Just because Obama did it - and did make that jump, the bad guys assume that's simply the way to go.

But that feeds into their republi-CON sense of entitlement. I call it the World's Biggest Entitlement Program - that they feel they're ENTITLED to rule, ENTITLED to occupy the White House. Look at her ladyship ann of dressage if you have any doubts. She felt ENTITLED to be given the keys to the White House. It was simply their turn, and don't "you people" understand that?????

Proud to say I'm with you! I was with you before, too! I never liked this creep.

I was never taken in by his "plain-talk" crap. I found him to be a bully a long time ago and I found that - and him - tremendously off-putting. I never understood what this big fawning romance was that too many people supposedly had for this individual. "Oh, sigh!!! How fucking adorable he is! He speaks his mind! That's the REAL "straight talk"! I just LUV him!"

Not in the LEAST!!!! I thought he was crude, mean-spirited, smug, crass, a lout, a bully, and way too busy throwing his weight around - FIGURATIVELY, that is. I do not like in-yer-face. The closest I come to finding it in any way palatable is Alan Grayson.

Meh - taste of their own medicine.

The only thing that's different here is that they seem to be turning it on one of their own for a change.

Welcome to DU, calguy!

Glad you're here! Yes, her ladyship ann of dressage would have been SOOOO to the manor born there. All the "you people" types would be where their proper place is, in her view: permanently on the OUTSIDE, locked out, most fortunate if they're allowed to be looking in. And constantly fed the crap-diet of "just keep on voting republi-CON and you'll be rich like us someday!" And other fantastic fables and fairytales. Yeah, THAT'S the ticket.

Maybe this is how they "balance" their scheme to minimize primary season?

Load it up after the State of the Union - throw a whole pants-load of 'em at the public.

Just another example of republi-CON overreach.

I just did, too.



This campaign, and - if she runs - Sandra Fluke's. My congressman, Henry Waxman, just announced his retirement. DAYUM would I love to have HER replacing him. She'd represent me even better than he has, and I didn't think that was possible.

Well I sure as hell am NOT gonna follow Bill Maher's lead on this one.

I'm gonna do everything I can to make sure Dave replaces darrell. AND, if she decides to run, that Sandra Fluke wins the opening that Henry Waxman's retirement is creating.

Welcome to DU, DavePeiser!

WOW!!!! VERY glad you're here! And very glad you're THERE, too! DAYUM but we need darrell issa OUT of there!!!

I'm awfully tired of being constantly besieged for campaign donations. But YOUR campaign I'll support! I'm gonna do so immediately after I post this! I don't live in issa's district but I'm not far away. I'm a Henry Waxman woman, soon hopefully to be a Sandra Fluke woman! Her campaign I'm gonna be supporting as well!

Thank you for weighing in here, and thank you for taking on that rat-fucker/arsonist/insurance fraudster! We need him run outta there - preferably on a rail. Shit, just the taxpayers' money he's WASTED on these endless useless prance-fests and stupid time-consuming come-up-with-nothing "investigations" for the mere sake of attacking Democrats would be enough to fund several campaigns effectively!
