2. Shut up and go drink your Ovaltine.

Besides, Green Hornet's on the radio soon anyway.

[wyldwolf]

3. dedicated to those who believe this is a uniquely divided time in the Democratic party

[Arkana]

21. I'm only 23, so I'm not sure if I got the pop culture references right.

[Cha]

32. Yeah, and the primary's

over.

[wyldwolf]

... yeah (snicker)... for about 48 years now.

[Cha]

36. Yeah, you got me..

I didn't watch the video.

[TexanDem]

53. Very interesting! Thanks for posting.

[skiekite]

48. Well they need to get the fuck over it and move on

see pass their own backyards.

[JVS]

4. The primaries are over. This year's and the 1960 primaries as well.

[still_one]

5. Those so-called Democrats who can't support the NOMIEE, should go find their own party

I have to keep asking myself the question, why do they even call themselves Democrats

The difference between mccain and Obama are stark

1. A worman's right to choose
2. The Iraq War
3. Energy and food prices
4. The economy
5. jobs
6. THE SUPREME COURT
7. Healthcare
8. Medicare
9. Social Security

and much more

Any person who calls themseleves a Democrat who doesn't support the Democrat nominee this election should get out of the party. It is gone on far too long that these individuals who call themselves democrats, do not even know what it means.

[thepurpose]

7. These people if they are elected officials seriously need to be targeted for defeat.

Even if they aren't I have to question their real reasons because the excuses they are offering don't pass the smell test.

[wyldwolf]

9. have a time machine?

[sudopod]

22. LOL nm (edited)

[still_one]

13. I agree. The polls also reflect most Democrats will vote Democratic

[Cha]

33. The Environment should be numero uno

for our Lonely Planet. I know you didn't have them in any particular order:)

[rocktivity]

6. Was there a DLC around back then?

:rofl:
rocknation

[wyldwolf]

8. FYI

Truman-Kenndy was the DLC of their time.

[Cassandra]

23. Truman, the opponent of war profiteers...

was no buddy of large corporations. I don't think it's a bad thing that the Democratic Party has learned something about the futility of war when diplomatic options are still available. The socially liberal war hawks are confounded by this and can't figure out where they belong.

[wyldwolf]

28. operative words being "of their time."

If you want to take the time to read it, I could point you to reference material on the topic.

[Wickerman]

10. Truman Admits Flying Saucers Are Real July 20 1952

A related video on that page.

Just saying...

[wyldwolf]

11. aha, good one. Jimmy Carter and Dennis Kucinich saw them, too.

[Kahuna]

46. You sound "bitter." nt

[BeyondGeography]

12. The Wolf is getting back into form...a welcome development for this board

So, do we have a puncher's chance in Georgia?

[wyldwolf]

14. I heard a stat that said Obama got more votes in GA than McCain or Huckabee.

So, yeah, I'd say we have the best shot in GA since '92.

[Buzz Clik]

15. Change is good, but it can be hard on some people.

The fact that these people leave is a good thing. They are clearly part of the problem.

[wyldwolf]

16. this one left us a long time ago. Literally.

[Buzz Clik]

18. I recognize that. Truman was dead not long after I was born.

Is this thread strictly to test the ability of posters to click links, or did you have a deeper meaning?

Whether or not you intended to draw any parallels to today, the parallels exist.

[Cha]

35. Clearly. n/t

[LWolf]

17. "A prearranged affair...."

Interesting.

It's entertaining to note who actually views the video, and who jumps in with assumptions. :popcorn:

[Joe the Revelator]

19. Great post wyldwolf. K/r

[Pirate Smile]

20. Ha - the part about the Senator being OK but the trouble is with "his overzealous backers"

sure sounds familiar.

[TexasObserver]

24. He sounds like another ex president who is full of shit

who is also eight years out of office

[JVS]

34. Oooohhhh. Zing!

[Colobo]

25. Welcome back, wyld! I'm truly glad to see you around!

By the way, I told you over a year ago that the Obama train was going full speed to Washington... :)

[my3boyz]

26. Who gives a shit? Good riddance! Good riddance to you too if you want to take glee in posting negati

ve shit about our nominee.

[wyldwolf]

27. LOL!

[Bluerthanblue]

29. excuse me for

speaking my personal opinion, but I do wonder if people are grasping at straws for reasons that are socially acceptable - "readiness" "experience" to really cover for their deep seated prejudice.
:shrug:

sad- really sad, but growing causes growing pains.
peace~

[Lilith Velkor]

37. That also applied to the candidate in the video

which I suggest you actually watch.

[LordJFT]

50. wow what a boring speaker Truman was

[Cha]

30. Yeah, poor thing wants to vote for mccain 'cause

you know he's ready to continue bushit.

[wyldwolf]

31. LOL!

[MadBadger]

38. With all these recent tombstones, its nice there is still somebody to be concerned for us all.

[wyldwolf]

41. LOL

[mcctatas]

39. Major DNC asshole you mean?

your concern is dually noted :eyes:

[wyldwolf]

42. double LOL!

[mcctatas]

45. ....

Doh! Remind me to always click the link before I turn into a douchebag;)

[Occam Bandage]

40. I was worried there wouldn't be anyone left to share their concern.

[wyldwolf]

43. and another LOL!

[Occam Bandage]

44. That's one way to pad the ol' post count.

[nsd]

51. Did you even bother following the link before posting?

If so, you missed the OP's point, which is that the past always resists the future. If not, then you should have.

[geek tragedy]

47. Never mind. Got rickrolled. n/t

[LiberalAndProud]

49. Thanks for the perspective from history.

There are so many parallels this season ... echoes in the corridors of politics.

[zulchzulu]

52. "questions his readiness"... what a fucking joke...

Truman was a junior clueless replacement who knew nothing before he was President.

[quaker bill]

54. I would not have guessed

Truman objecting to the 1960 failure of the old fashioned "smoke filled room" model convention. He was apparently less enlightened than I thought.
