McCain is campaigning against Obama while...
Obama is having to campaign against him and Hillary. What a shame. We had such a good chance this year. Oh well. :shrug:

2. Yes. Hillary has nothing notable left to run on. So she's destroying the party while
Obama tries to build it :(

3. Why does he have to campaign against Hillary if, like it's said here at DU, it's all over?

4. If you were fighting a bear
Edited on Thu May-22-08 02:22 PM by reflection
and a rabid squirrel was simultaneously gnawing on your testicles, you would still have to deal with the squirrel while you were fighting off the bear. That's why.

Of course you can overpower the squirrel, but it still has to be removed from said testicles.

My office has been out of coffee all day and that's the best analogy I can muster. Need coffee.


edit for caffiene-deprived spelling

11. Amazing how often Hillary is portrayed as attacking, breaking, busting, cracking,
gnawing, smashing, not having, and having big brass balls, testicles, nuts.

I wonder if it has any thing to do with the fact that she is a strong woman?

14. Ask Carville. He's the one who claims she has 3 or 4 testicles.

16. Sorry, but the "testicular" references come from the Hillary camp.
You should address your concerns with them.

18. Hold on now
Carville said something about Hillary ripping her testicles off and giving them to Barack. That's pretty violent.

20. Oh gawd.
Get over yourself. Do you really scrap along like this every day, trying to find sexism in every aspect of speech?

27. If it's leaded, I could care less about anything else.
Never much cared for Starbucks though. It tastes burnt to me.

37. Always or recently (past few years)?
when I first tried it, it seemed an awesome brew. It's gone way downhill since then I find. Now it's just overpriced and overrated. Maybe cause they've diluted their brand chasing market share. Oh well, the local gas station has a great cup a Joe.

38. Past few years.
I don't know if they are using a lower quality bean or if my own sense of taste has changed. But I prefer to grind my own anyway, so it's a moot point.

5. Actually he's not
Note that he's put his campaign into GE mode, is gracious to her but no longer fighting her and has moved his stump speeches in McCain mode.

33. Yes he has to his credit but look who's still dominating the headlines
and not only taking away the spotlight from our "presumptive nominee" but thanks to her, her husband and her campaign staff's rhetoric are undermining all Democrats. It's not what we need right now. We need to be concentrating on winning the White House, not on how to placate Hillary.

32. Then you should drop your insipid signature
and start sporting Obama banners. Positive ones. You've been an antagonist.

Hillary is DOA, and she won't go to the convention - in fact, I'm pretty sure that after June 3rd, she'll be be BANNED from the convention.

It makes her appear even more delusional.

15. Obama mentions Hillary in the past tense. She is yesterdays news.
Edited on Thu May-22-08 02:48 PM by SoonerPride
She can prattle on at old age homes around the country, meanwhile Obama campaigns against McSame.

19. Hillary is more concerned about 2012 than 2008 at this point.

31. I think she's done her 2012 chances more harm than good...
Especially the longer this charade goes on.

What would do her 2012 chances the most good would be to gracefully stop this madness and start supporting the party.

36. Hyperbolic metaphors
are not quite as harmful as actual megalomania, especially when it results in a warmongering fossil becoming our President. But that's just my opinion. Fixate on the make-believe testicles if you must.
