2. What an ass. He must not be up for election this year.
Young voters are smart. They do more research than looking at a last name and what a candidate's latest new position is this year or month. That's more than can be said for a lot of Clinton supporters who don't know anything about Obama because they have to ask their grand kids for help using the internet.

5. He is done in 2010.
Literally. A VP or cabinet spot was his last choice. He can't run again here.

3. he uses that on everyone
He even told Joe "Hillary Clinton is my muse, the love of my life " (his words, not mine) Scarborough last week that he "drinks the Obama kool-aid."

4. What a condescending putz
Listening to him lording his superiority over the students, when he's just talking a party line and they're speaking their hearts. If I was a student, he would really turn me off.

16. Lets hepe not
Rendell has offended a wide swath of people here for a lot of years. Jumping into this divisive race with his negativity about the people here (much less the candidates) has really hurt his street cred (what cred he had left).

15. Video removed by user. What did he say? n/t
Rendell in March

RENDELL: “I had a call from Senator Obama and he said, you know I’m going to be the nominee, and I didn’t argue with him, I said, sure, and he said I just want to make sure nothing happens in Pennsylvania, the campaign here, that will make it harder for us to win in the fall. And I said, senator, don’t even worry about that for five seconds.”

19. I wasn't able to see it, but he was with Frank Luntz. Hilly's new BFF station, Faux
Apparently called the youth of his state a bunch of koolaide drinkers.

Of course, we are all racists too, according to Fast Eddie, so this is not a shocker. (Noting that the racists -- they are all all for Ron Paul, but I digress...)

21. It's best I not type what's going through my mind right now
because it's not pretty.

Fuck Rendell is as far as I'll go before I write something I might regret.

22. I just walked into the house a little bit ago
and there was an ape in a pantsuit throwing feces and yelling Terra Terra Terra on my teevee.

They make me sick.

17. No one under 50 drinks Kool Aid
Or uses the Kool Aid analogy. Talk about dated. He's suffering from Geritol overload and the iron back up it creates.

30. Probably no one under 50 remembers Jonestown. It's never been one of my favorite analagies
in politics.

31. I drank it as a child, and do remember Jonestown. Always hated the use of the term, too.
It's the most overused, lamest analogy in the entire political scene. It's shorthand for "I'm too lazy to same something intelligent, so I'll just accuse you of drinking the Kool Aid!!"

Why not "bought it, lock, stock and barrel?"

Or "swallowed it like a big mouth bass?"

Or "going all-in for __________!"

One can fully support a person or cause without being mindless and cult like.

Like you, I think the kool aid thing is weak.

35. Rendell. Ecchh. I met him a couple years ago at a small local event.
I went out of my way to get a chance to shake his hand. Today, I would pass.

34. I know about it, and I'm way under 50.
Obviously, I don't "remember" it, since I wasn't alive then, though.

38. I thought we drank lattes. What other liquids are associated with DEM voters?
I'd hate to break the mold- is it cool-aid, merlot or lattes that I'm supposed to be consuming?
