hehe ! Sure is ! I love it ...
Fire Democrats ~ Hire Republicans!
I think the Rats started the fires themselves... BAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
The world is flat, there are only four elements, mice form in piles of rags.
Demunist equivalent of Mensa: Densa.
And I think this will ensure the RATS will lose in 2004.
Do you think that Dean is going to get the nomination? To me, Clark just seems like a more attractive candidate. Another influential dem you all should be keeping an eye on is George Soros...To me, NONE of the 'RATS are worth a dam* ! Probably the 'least dangerous' and most credible would be Lieberman? I don't know.
A few weeks ago, my Dad (the loyal democrat) asked me whom I thought among the Democrat candidates would get the nomination. (He knows I'm a diehard GOPer, of course. I don't know why he brings up politics ... it always causes friction, etc). I told him that none of them had any significant lead in the polls I had seen, so it was simply too early to really tell. It would be speculation, pure and simple (besides the fact fact that none of 'em are worth a dam*, I thought, biting my tongue!, lol!).
Since he got a 'diplomatic' answer from me, he mentioned something about hitlery clintoon maybe running for Prez in 2004. I offered that it was still possible, but rather doubtful for 2004, but more likely for 2008. Still digging, he declared I'd vote for her. Without hesitation, I shot back I believe it. He would too ! He bought the Hillary is the smartest woman in the world spiel - hook, line and sinker. He's such a good 'RAT. Anyway, that ended the political discussion. He wasn't going to get me stirred up that day ...
Me? Dubya is getting my vote, along with ALL GOP candidates since I vote straight ticket.
I'm sure that Soros will throw more of his BIG money at the 'RATS between now and the November 2004 election. But I'd be surprised to see him actually pursue a place for himself. Although, if he so chose, he certainly could finance it with some of his big pile of $$$ ...
