She can't take the power, Captain. C-SPAN is showing the whole ball of wax, AGAIN!

I only saw the last 30 minutes, but it looked like Dean improved maybe from what happened here earlier in the debate.

He just got clobbered, so naturally he will appear to be weaker.

But, I bet that the attacks will piss of the Dems, possibly actually HELPING him instead of hurting.

Maybe Matt will pick up on the fountain of socialism we just saw on display tonight.

We can only hope. Certainly he can get some sorely needed sound bites out of it. That old "our country.... is in crisis..." thing needs to go.

You'll never look at guys with a thin upper lip the same way again! and I'll betcha a year from now, you'll agree with my theory!

Ever since the secret service came to my house, I just sort of been lurking on FR, but every once in awhile I would put in a plug or two, and even had a one time democrat putting in a plug at my expense, but now that he got into trouble for being caught, he has decided to become a conservative republican, after seeing these dumb pins for democrats and he says that Bush has a good bowling ball for knocking the last pin down, and we are both hoping its Howard(green hat)Dean.

Anyway, these democrats are just about exciting as having radiation poisoning and we all know that is not very exciting!

Go Bush Go! Knock the last pin standing for a spare and a "WIN" in November! Grassontop

OK, I found it - here is the funny thing I read in today's NYT about Dean. Seems he has won not only the endorsement of Gore (a loser), but of McGovern as well (another loser):

And for the hat trick, all he needs is to get Walter "I'm Gonna Tax Their Asses Off!" Mondale to endorse him.

[NYC GOP Chick]

NOOOOOOOO!!! Not until Dean has secured the nomination! I don't want anything screwing up my Schadenfreude Party on November 2-3, 2004!

[summer]

LOL! I think it's coming, too...

C-SPAN is showing the whole ball of wax, AGAIN!

I had been away from the computer for a while and just came back and yeah, it was on again. I did catch another whopper here near the end of the debate. Braun says that Bush was the worst economic president because he has lost six million jobs. What did she do take the two highest lies and add them together?!?!

[lawdude]

"I think Mike Jarrick is kind of cool no problem with him."

Is Jarrick the blond pouf with the messy hair? If so, he is the one I mean and he is disgusting. Doocy is less than funny but at least he leans right.

As I watched this abomination of political discourse my mind drifted off to a future day....

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Iowa Dogocratic Presidential Debates

Our first question is for Mr. Heinz. Sir, how can you justify rich folks like you having several dogs for love and companionship while the average American can barely afford even one?

Mr. H: I have a plan that will solve this dog gap crisis. If I am President within one hundred days I will propose to Congress the "No Dog Left Behind" bill. It includes a dog free to every American household, free veterinary care for every dog, free obedience training, and dog food stamps redeemable at every grocery and hardware store.

Ms. Brainless, your thoughts?

Ms. B.: Mr. Heinz's plan fails to take account of the need for adequate socialization of these dogs. Obedience to racist white masters would be permitted under his plan. Each dog must be given sensitivity training to assure they show proper respect to all minority members of society. Discrimination against Black Labs must end!.....

Kucinich seems to be saying he wants hospitals in this country to be as effective as the public schools.

Excellent analogy. Just one correction. It's more aptly spelled "screwls".
