Kerry-Edwards 2004.

[saltpoint]

What a GREAT ticket that was.

[fedupinBushcountry]

1. Yep

Hi, OC. :hi:

[saltpoint]

2. Howdy-do right back.

[MH1]

3. It sure was!

Hi OC!

:hi:

Good to see you here!

[saltpoint]

4. Hi, MH1. I surprise myself from time to time and wander around.

Hope all's well with you.

[MH1]

20. All's well here

I hope it is with you, too.

:)

[kerrygoddess]

5. Indeed it was!

Thanks for the reminder - it made me smile!

[saltpoint]

6. And they were the winners, too. Those dirty Republicans cheated in

Ohio and elsewhere.

Dirty low-down traitorous Republican scoundrels, they are. And they cheated our guys.

[kerrygoddess]

7. Yes they did!

I've always believed that. They're worse than scoundrels. Much worse.

[saltpoint]

9. Of course they're worse than that, but I opted for the PG version!

I don't want Maya Angelou banging on my door!

[kerrygoddess]

11. Well how's about if I was banging on your door

And wanted to raise a glass in agreement? We could have a little party in celebration of the great ticket in '04. I'm sure lots of folks here would love to join in!

[saltpoint]

13. No doubt they would. John Kerry was a great presidential candidate and

John Edwards was a great vice presidential candidate.

Thank god they are on our blue team and not the red team. I mean, hells bells!

You can bang on my door any time, darlin'.

[kerrygoddess]

26. JK's still...

In my book!

[saltpoint]

30. A close relative, and a survivor of many things, is not very political.

But she did watch the 2004 presidential debates.

To this day she is stunned that anyone on this continent could possibly have voted for Bush-Cheney when they had Kerry-Edwards as an alternative choice.

She is flabbergasted at kind of a cosmic level. This is just her gut instinct. She's not political, and doesn't really like politics.

But her instinct told her one ticket was demonstrably good and the other was unbelievably bad.

[kerrygoddess]

32. On a cosmic level

I agree. It's sort of like living in alterate universe or something. I'd like to replace the bad universe with the good universe and start healing the nation. Yesterday's news was so devastating. America needs healing and we're not gonna get until the evil ones are gone from the WH and the place has been smudge and exorcised and so on...

[saltpoint]

33. True... but the confluence of historical events now favors a Democratic

win in 2008.

The Republicans are really looking like bigger fools than they usually look like, and their usual is already gargantuan in the fool department.

I don't see Iraq getting any better between now and the Iowa caucus, and especially if Dubya keeps stomping his foot about the surge. And there's McCain nodding his head like a bobble-head doll.

Now let's hope everybody on the Supreme Court stays healthy until we can get a Democrat in there to fill vacancies with proper progressives.

[kerrygoddess]

34. Ah yes...

but sadly for me none in the Dem pool are all too appealing. I keep hoping I will like one a little but I still think the best pick or picks (Gore if not JK) are not in the game.

Oh the vision of a John McCain bobble head doll is too nauseating what if we had hugging Bush and McCain bobble head dolls?

Thanks OC for this - I needed a laugh tonight. Have you seen the video of JK on Colbert last night speaking of laughs? Too funny!

[saltpoint]

35. I may yet get to the Colbert clip -- I think everyone in the country

needs a little break from the hullabaloo from Blacksburg.

The president wasted no time for the photo-op down there, but took days and days to show up in New Orleans.

Memories are long in politics.

I think each misstep Bush takes hurts the GOP in 08.

I couldn't watch the pResident today. It's all so heartbreaking. I just spent the weekned with my daughter checking out a college campus.

[saltpoint]

37. Thank you for those links.

You did the right thing, definitely, touring a campus like that.

Maybe visit another campus in a short while -- just to stay in stride. This young man who visited so much horror on the VT community must himself have been in incredible pain. But all of it, horrifying as it was, is not going to be part of your daughter's future.

She will have her own future in a place of her choosing. And MUCH good will happen. I hope she saw it in that light.

[kerrygoddess]

38. My pleasure. I LMAO

We have 2 more campuses to tour this weekend. The poor kid she has to choose between the 3 lovely coastal University of CA campuses - San Diego, Santa Barbara or Santa Cruz. But she's already deeply in love with her chosen major (Anthropology) and each has a good Anthro Dept, so I think she's off to a good start and it's just a choice of which one she likes the best. San Diego didn't thrill her. For me, it means more nice drives along the coast and I can deal with that. :)

[saltpoint]

39. Sounds to me as if your daughter is in the catbird seat. And I hear ya

on those coastal drives.

A no-lose set of circumstances if there ever was one.

Bravo for your daughter's choice of majors and range of college choices, and bravo for the mom who helped get her there.

[kerrygoddess]

42. Thanks!

Living about an hour from the ocean the past 17 years I have been in L.A. has been rough for me. I had 33 years of living no more than 10 miles from ocean in MA before that.

[MBS]

40. she can talk to me about UCSC if she wants

let me know .

[kerrygoddess]

41. Thanks - would love that!

I'll email you.

[wisteria]

8. Hi, OC! Oh, and you are so right! What low down, dirty rotten,cheating lying,

dispicable,traitorous scoundrels the Republicans are.


You are also correct about the 04 ticket,especially about Senator Kerry.

[saltpoint]

10. Hi, wisteria. A howdy right back atcha and a great Tuesday evening as well.

[kerrygoddess]

12. Don't forget...

scumy, slimy, sleezy and cheesey!

[saltpoint]

14. Yes to all 4 of those, and while we're in town, let's add

greasy, zealot-stoking, corrupt, thieving, poop-chomping, and lizard-brained.

[kerrygoddess]

22. Forgot one

lily-livered!

[saltpoint]

23. Yes. Those 5 Cheney deferments add up, don't they?!

[kerrygoddess]

25. When you compare

what we have to what we could have had - well it's night and day. The world's gone mad, OC. It's heartbreaking.

[saltpoint]

28. Well, WE voted for the right ticket. !! Red voters still showed up

for Dubya, many of them peeing their pants at the very thought that an intelligent man like Kerry could be in charge.

It frightened them.

Kerry-Edwards won Ohio if I'm a day old, and I ASSURE you I'm at LEAST a day old.

[wisteria]

27. Yes, those things too. LOL n/t

[fedupinBushcountry]

15. I so want

those e-mails of Rove to show up, I want to see those from election night.

I so hope the truth comes out.

[YvonneCa]

16. Wouldn't that just be...

...fantastic! It's almost too much to hope for, though. :)

[saltpoint]

18. The fictionist reader in me says that those Rove emails are

deleted from KKKarl's computer but don't you know, Jeff Gannon still has HIS copies.

And for the right amount of check from KKKarl, he'll delete them, but if KKKarl can't cough up the cash, janglin' Jeff will sell them to the mainstream press.

Just a notion.

[MH1]

21. Heh, I've been thinking that too

about Rove's emails.

There could be some really interesting tales in those bits n bytes.

[wisteria]

29. I am praying real hard! n/t

[Island Blue]

17. Yes it was.

[saltpoint]

19. Great Democrats all. Terrific photos.

thank you!

[ginnyinWI]

24. I still like this picture

Not sure why. Maybe because it looks like they are looking toward the future.

[saltpoint]

31. Two grown-ups. An excellent photo. Two adults who should be in

charge instead of the nihilist organ-grinder Cheney and his vacuous monkey George.

Great picture. A keeper.
