upsides to giving away what should have been an electoral cakewalk in '08:

[ulysses]

Skinner won't have to rename the site to "Democratic Ohshitwe'reinpower"

We get to stay in Iraq, not just for our lifetimes, but for our children's as well.

The DLC gets to find yet another way to blame a loss on liberals, even though none were on the Democratic ticket.

Martha Stewart can discuss how to waterboard...tastefully, and with what's handy in the cupboard.

At least four years of "Mc______" nicknames.

[Bicoastal]

1. How about "McNightmarey?"

You know, as opposed to "McDreamy?"

From that TV show with the nurses...

...ah nevermind.

[paperbag_ princess]

2. plus

extra long summers and more beach front property...better tans

more time livin rich on China's dollar

[ulysses]

6. we'll all be McCrispy.

[high density]

3. Supreme court gets stacked for a few decades

I can't wait for that one

[Cooley Hurd]

4. #2's not much of an upside...

...but the others are pretty good. K&R. :D

[ulysses]

5. hey, I'm deep in sarcasm mode here.

Work with me. :)

[Yes We Did]

7. the only real benefit... the end of the republican party.

I mean seriously, If only 19% are happy with Bush, McCain should be down to 10% after one year.

[ulysses]

8. I'd love to believe it.

Maybe so.

[Thurston Howell III]

12. Don't forget the Democratic Party either.

Sad to say.

[Speck Tater]

9. The republicans will be at the helm when the American Empire utterly collapses.

So they will get all the blame.

[ulysses]

10. if there's anyone left to give the blame.

Damn! Bad cynicism, bad!

[LWolf]

11. I wish it weren't too late to recommend this one. n/t

[ulysses]

20. didn't expect this to resurface.

:hi: Thanks.

[LWolf]

27. It can sometimes, these days, be difficult

to find a thread I want to bother with when I stop by. There's still some treasure left for those willing to dig. ;)

[kentuck]

13. Hillary believes that black voters will support her...

in the end. But, I fear she may be wrong again.

[Yurovsky]

17. McCain will get more black votes than Hillary this November ...

because she won't be on the ticket (at least not at the top). And if she is the nominee, I can guarantee you she'll be a pariah in the African American community for the remainder of her political career.

[Forkboy]

14. It would be comical were it not so pathetic.

Can't say I'm really surprised though.

[ulysses]

21. the best comedy is bleak.

;-)

[Forkboy]

23. I tell people that but they just think I'm a bastard.

:D

[ulysses]

24. dunno what to tell you - I've suspected for some time

that that's a cancer lesson.

Or maybe we're both just weird. ;-)

[Forkboy]

26. Nah, I was like this long before the cancer.

It was a birth thing. :)

[Warren DeMontague]

15. Don't forget Justice Stevens retiring--- and being replaced by Roy Moore. nt

[Cha]

16. We can still be DemocraticUnderground

when Obama wins..It'll show how far we've come and how much "hard work" we have behind us and absolutely we will not be sitting on our laurels..only our butts.

[KoKo]

18. Poor Martha ...caught up when so Many Enron and Other Criminals go FREE!

We females shoulda known when they "Took Out" Martha it was the forerunner to Obama's attack on Old Women, Gays and those BOOMERS looking for "SS Handouts."

Martha TOOK THE FALL...for US...and she get's NO CREDIT! While Oil Barons and Wall St. Guru's get a SOCIALIST BAILOUT for their CRIMES AGAINST ALL OF US!

You gotta have a BIG HOOT about all of this......you gotta :cry: through the :rofl:

[kentuck]

19. We have to make a decision.

Are we willing to fight for what and who we believe in or are we going to surrender once again?

[ulysses]

22. the first decision

is who "we" is. Then comes, "what do we mean by 'surrender'?"

[hfojvt]

25. as a bicyclist I get a ton of schadenfreude from $7 gas

Plus I'm too old to be drafted.
