:toast:

[Ichingcarpenter]

13. What decade was that the 80s? Now BTO .....what decade was that the 70s?

BTO was a Canadian band BTW.

[Debi]

36. I heard Wisconsin was a good state for music! n/t

[Ichingcarpenter]

68. What song did Hillary start with? I started this late.

Obama started with a U2 song

[Debi]

70. Sorry, I didn't see it either

The U2 song is his standard one.

[Yael]

2. That is sending a message

not a good one, but it is sending a message...

[Debi]

8. Did Dolly endorse?

:shrug:

[Yael]

14. Not about Jane/Dolly -- about the storyline

Women who 'get back at the man'.

I am simply sick of the sexism crap that is coming out this election.

I am female, BTW

[Debi]

38. As am I

on both counts! :hi:

[Renew Deal]

11. What is it?

What's the story?

[Yael]

16. They played it when Hillary left

Did you see the movie?

When I heard the song kick off, it seemed "I am woman hear me roar" to me.

As a female, I am rather tired of the "vote for her because she is a woman" thing.

[Ichingcarpenter]

27. I didn't take it as sexist but a standard feminist song

and working person's song. My take is that they are playing songs that suppose to be hip
but hell it is Wisconsin.......LOL

[Egnever]

3. Heh

[Debi]

10. I think I injured myself rolling my eyes n/t

[southern_dem]

Attended a County Convention Platform Committee meeting this morning and came home to a TWO POUND box of chocolates from my son and husband! :P

Now we're watching C-SPAN and about to eat a delicious dinner!

Will Gov. Doyle wish me Happy Birthday?

(I was born in Oshkosh :thumbsup:)

[mrreowwr_kittty]

33. Happy Birthday!!

What's sad about it, you're spending it with friends!

I'll be 40 in Novemeber, how does it feel?

[Debi]

42. Just fine!

It will be a much easier year saying "I'm 40" rather than "I'm 39" and having folks say "Mmm Hmmmm :eyes:"

:rofl:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

56. Oh yeah, I promise this is the first, and only, time I will be 39.

If I were going to lie about my age I'd say I was older so people would think I was very well preserved. ;)

[Debi]

63. My mother has been celebrating her 'anniversary' of her 39th birthday

for 25 years :wow:

Now that I'm 'older' than her she thinks she might be ready to turn 40!

[Renew Deal]

39. Happy Birthday!!!

:party: :bounce:

[Debi]

44. Thank you

And thanks for coming to my party :toast:

[SoxFan]

40. Smells like old people in here...

I turned 40 last year. Welcome to the club!

[Debi]

46. Heh heh!

My son says I'm old...my husband calls me a 'young whipper-snapper' :P

[SoxFan]

66. My wife has a thing for older guys

Terry O'Quinn, Alan Rickman, Martin Sheen...I figure I'm good for another 15-20 years!

[Debi]

67. So do I....

Mr. Debi has 25 years on me :loveya:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

60. Another early Gen Xer for Barack!

He appeals to us youngsters. Up to age 50! :woohoo:

9. I'd like buy a vowel.

[sueragingroz]

12. what did I miss? /nt

[Debi]

18. Senator ended her comments at the Wisconsin Democrats Gala

and left the stage to Dolly Parton's 'Working 9 to 5'

I presume Helen Reddy's 'I am Woman' was already taken x(

[HCE SuiGeneris]

37. "These Boots Were Made for Walking" is next.

[Debi]

48. That was a good one!

:applause:

[HCE SuiGeneris]

69. Happy Birthday wishes Debi!

:party: :toast:

[Debi]

71. Thank you!

It is a memorable one :hi:

[Tatiana]

17. A downer on an otherwise good speech. Pulling on the feminist strings with an outdated song.

And I say this as a female.

[Debi]

21. We're still considered sexist if we don't fawn over Senator Clinton

and all that she says and does x(

[Yael]

22. Exactly

Thanks for stating that so well.

[K Gardner]

35. Well, I erased something out of my post in the other thread because I thought

well, maybe I'm the only one who thinks using a rather sexist/feminist song is a bit hypocritical and playing the gender card.. but I erased it. So I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that is so totally inappropriate and transparent. Was it supposed to be a subliminal ploy ? LOL. All it did was make me want to go burn my disco boots.

[Yael]

52. I am glad you said this. I was struggling with it as well

why I didn't use "feminist" but "sexist". It works both ways, IMO.

[Debi]

55. Don't burn the disco boots

they're back in style!

[Kahuna]

34. She might as well just used, "I Am Woman." LOL nt

[Ichingcarpenter]

43. Man, he really does have a Wisconsin accent.

He is beginning the introduction to Obama.........

[Ichingcarpenter]

53. Doing a great job on the intro.

Man does he have a thick Wisconsin accent.

[Kahuna]

45. Happy birthday, Debi!!!

:spank:

[Debi]

59. Oh, man!

x(

My son thinks he's gonna spank me ..... NOT A CHANCE!

[Kahuna]

65. LOL! nt

[sniffa]

47. Who the hell gets to work 8 hours including paid lunch and breaks?

No one.

[Ichingcarpenter]

51. Dolly Parton of course

That part of the song bugged me for years.

[Debi]

61. Ummmmmm

(course, I'm in good w/the boss)

[Ichingcarpenter]

49. What songs do you think will come up for Obama???

Any guesses?

[Ichingcarpenter]

58. U-2............ I don't remember the song right now ...

Anyone?

[NashVegas]

64. Judging By the Reaction In This Thread

Obama will get a thrashing if he tries to use something like "A Change is Gonna Come," as that would totally be pandering to the 1960s civil rights movement.

[H2O Man]

50. Five to One

"....Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive, now
You get yours, baby
Ill get mine
Gonna make it, baby
If we try

The old get old
And the young get stronger
May take a week
And it may take longer
They got the guns
But we got the numbers
Gonna win, yeah
Were takin over
Come on!

Yeah!

Your ballroom days are over, baby
Night is drawing near
Shadows of the evening crawl across the years
Ya walk across the floor with a flower in your hand
Trying to tell me no one understands
Trade in your hours for a handful dimes
Gonna make it, baby, in our prime ...."

lyrics by James Douglas Morrison

[Ichingcarpenter]

62. I went to High school with his brother and sister

Then went to his wake in Coronado that his brother held for him.

[Ichingcarpenter]

72. Signed sealed and delivered!!

Oh baby, I'm yours baby........

Great speech!

[Ichingcarpenter]

73. Oh, C-span caller first call a Republican that says

He might vote for him.
