Tell me again why any 08 discussions right now are more than political masturbation?
We all know who the likely candidates are. We all know who the media is pushing. We all know where each putative candidate stands on a myriad of issues. We all know where each candidate is strong and where each is weak. Any discussions right now are media induced political masturbation.

Some days, DU seems more like a discussion board sponsored by "Entertainment Tonight."

Rah .... rah ..... fucking ..... rah ......

I'm happy to learn when a person formally announces. That's called 'news. Apart from that ..... feh.

Light your torches .....

3. Hey Grumpy, let the kids have their fun
You used to masturbate for no apparent reason right? As if we needed a reason.

15. We should let party insiders decide who represents Democrats...

22. Preparing for the deluge of Talking Heads
By mid-spring, it's going to be "All Hillary, All The Time" if the MSM whores have their way.

Is it really so bad to get a head start on demanding equal time, through the grassroots of cyberspace?
