I told you what I intended to tell you--are you not able to understand that? Is there something further you'd like to know from me? I've left you babbling on more occasions than I can count, and I have no trepidation about engaging with someone of your abilities, but it so happens I don't have much more to say to you at this moment. If you have questions for me, it would be appropriate for you to ask them. If you don't, it would be appropriate for you to do some remediation on how conversations are conducted.

Nobody tell Brian Schweitzer that Obama's approval rating among liberal democrats is at 84% [View all] Cali_Democrat Jan 2014 OP

Don't tell liberals Schweitzer is probably more conservative on a whole shit-load of issues than O Drunken Irishman Jan 2014 #1

Cuz everyone knows that... AgingAmerican Jan 2014 #83

Evil? Na! Naive? A whole shit lot of 'em. Drunken Irishman Jan 2014 #87

FDR imprisoned American citizens in direct violation of the Constitution. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #104

And it was a travesty then as it is now. What was your point? R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #105

The point is there are no perfect politicians. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #106

This is not about perfection. God, what an awful answer you concocted! R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #107

You don't like my answer, even though it is factual, so you attack me personally. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #108

We're not talking "oops honey I shrunk the kids." R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #109

I see. You have no answers, you have non-sequiturs. Ikonoklast Jan 2014 #110

Have fun with that chip on your shoulder. R. Daneel Olivaw Jan 2014 #111

Liberal Democrats aren't the only ones voting in general elections. Comrade Grumpy Jan 2014 #19

If he runs on an anti-corporatist, anti-neo liberal platform, and makes a clear statement in Zorra Jan 2014 #23

"If he runs on an anti-corporatist, anti-neo liberal platform" polichick Jan 2014 #26

Compared to what? BlueStreak Jan 2014 #27

Yes but Obama isn't running next VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #28

We shall see. The Mayor of New York won an overwhelming victory BlueStreak Jan 2014 #46

But HE didn't run "against" President Obama... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #54

Who is running "against Obama"? That's a straw man argument. You know you can't BlueStreak Jan 2014 #60

I didn't choose the discussion.... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #61

Me sloppy argument...that's rich...you just proved you are not reading the OP...just trolling me... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #62

And I repeat. The premise that Schweitzer is "running against Obama" is a straw man. BlueStreak Jan 2014 #81

Lurk a few more years. You'll figure it out in due time. DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #68

Nope...posting now a days...your concern is duly noted. VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #69

No you don't get to trash talk and walk away...unless you concede...that is! VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #72

What is it that you want, VR? DisgustipatedinCA Jan 2014 #73

I have no idea...you started this cryptic conversation seemingly only to amuse yourself... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2014 #74

The mayor of NY won because the Clintons--HRC, mostly-- raised over a million bucks for him. MADem Jan 2014 #79

So did Lieberman. How did that pay off? adirondacker Jan 2014 #88

The Mayor is in office. Lieberman is not. And it's 2014. MADem Jan 2014 #95

Just attempting to demonstrate the the repercussions of bad decision making. Some of us are still adirondacker Jan 2014 #98

Well, the Dems didn't endorse Lieberman once he went to that "Indy Dem" label. MADem Jan 2014 #99

Schweitzer seems as obsessed with Obamacare as the other guys. Is that his angle? Tarheel_Dem Jan 2014 #38

Schweitzer is not strictly a liberal. Beacool Jan 2014 #41

Nailed it. Jamaal510 Jan 2014 #47
