"My granddaddy used to say, 'If you get kicked in the rear, that means you're out front.'"
One Clinton supporter viewed her competitors' attacks as good news. "My granddaddy used to say, 'If you get kicked in the rear, that means you're out front,' '' said Bill Gray, a former Philadelphia congressman and one of the state's most prominent African-American politicians.

2. Is there anything done and/or said by HRC that many won't try to spin to a positive?
Reminds me of some of the nasty ole' SILLY sayings we'd throw around in the Army:

"Here, consider eating this delightful sh*t sandwich? Really, it's delicious ... good for you ... go on enjoy it's aroma and tangy aftertaste?" :silly:

My point: Some things, to include a lackluster or even perhaps, a POOR performance can not be sanely spun to the positive. :shrug: Yes, even by seemingly MASTERS OF POLITICAL SPIN like your profound words wyldwolf.

"No, thank-you anyway. I'm not partaking today. Yes, that's it -->I'm on a diet! :blush: :evilgrin:

3. ...and of course
there is the corollary to your sh*t sandwich saying that is most in evidence these days:

"The more bread you have, the less sh*t you have to eat"


How much does a Presidential run cost again?

4. And my Gramps used to say : ' If you fall flat on yer face on the national teevee
Edited on Wed Oct-31-07 10:56 AM by AzDar
debates by giving two different answers to the same question in less than 60 seconds, you probably can't win a general election.'
Gramps was crazy like that...:rofl:

7. Getting kicked in the rear also means that you can't fight or defend yourself.
Case in point: Hillary does not know how to fight independently. People have always watched her back and last night it showed. She was left twisting in the wind with no parachute. A good offense and defense would have prevented this ass whupping. Your Philly congressman needs to come up with better analogies.

Life's a bitch, ain't it?:banghead:
