Wellstone's campaign rally!

Jesse 'The Mind' making a good call (for once)

I'm still sure we're missing something bigger about Wellstone's death.
But it certainly was a rally.
I think it's rather jolly to see Jesse lumbering into action. even better to see him contemplating an "Indy" ( and that would be...??) after he'd let the Dems think they had it in the bag.

Whn Ted Kennedy is cheered -it's time to ask questions!
Expect more mud when the Dems start gibbering about Wellstone's name being on absentee votes. Expect boost for Dems in Missouri on plane-crash widowhood.
Expect Mondale to ignore his political past.
Expect no mainstream coverage of the crash, the third-party shennanigans, the Jewish Lobby.
Expect Jeb and Bro -down there soon supporting -to have lots to say, on the other side.

Thomas, come on now. You, Bob & nyeff are on file as card caring members of the Radical Right Wing, have quoted numerous sources such as Rush, Newsmax & Ann Coulter as 'insightful, the truth and my favorite 'balanced & non partisan'! Why shy away from your narrow, paroachial views now? You're evidently proud of your perspectives & unwillingness to accept alternate arguments or the obvious fact that Bush has been 'drawn, measured and found wanting' in EVERY possible quantifier of talent or moral.
Saying that you 'think on your own' while willfully voiding consideration of alternate arguments and staying course to arguments of the RRW, is not a working definition of "thinking on your own" in anyones logical assesment, regardless of flip flopping the camps of thought, you're not cutting it.
Rush is not a villian, just a jester who keeps the propaganda flow going and provides a ring of the circus for all pundits of that ilk who need a forum to spout off.

The RRW and the lack of morals/hypocrisy:
Nyeff is fixated on Clintons oral pleasures & Bob is astounded about the sanctity of marriage flipancy. Hmm? Bob Barr has been married 3 times going on 4, and one of those was with a staffer while married. Newt Gingh, another serial marrier, had an affair with a women in his church choir, and announced to one of his wives that he was leaving her when she was in the hospital for cancer.....he took his mistress along for that, by the way. Ronald Reagan, in the Kelley bio, cheated on Nancy and was accused of a rape in college. The GOP man of the Year for 2001 couldn't accept his award because he was in jail, having been busted as a 'john' in a MD park known for homosexual prostitution.
I can go into more of the GOP hypocrits who were villafiying Clinton for sex while there houses were being fitted for glass walls, if you like.

As for te conduct at memorial services:

"Some of the people in the huge arena, packed with 20,000 mourners, were angry when they caught a glimpse of the Senator.
Disgust overcame them. They booed lustily, some of them shouting, "We don't want you here," and some shouting epithets.
And for the next few days, the GOP and right-wing pundits had a field day -- supporting the booers, saying that they spoke the truth, and that the Senator deserved all that was dished out and more.
Rush Limbaugh led the right-wing boo fest by having the man who led the booing on his program as Dittohead Hero Of The Day.
Newsmax, Matt Drudge Neal Boortz, Kathleen Parker, and GOP radio talk show hosts nationwide cheered on the booers, and attacked the Senator they booed.
What's wrong with this picture? Well nothing -- because the Senator being booed wasn't Trent Lott -- it was Hillary Clinton, about a year ago, at Madison Square Garden. at a huge concert honoring the heroic policemen and firefighters who gave their lives on September 11, 2001.
It seems that some of those in the audience thought that this upbeat yet solemn occasion should -- gasp! -- be an occasion for politics.
Hear! hear! said Rush and his clones, who booed right along with them.
So you see, folks, it's not the boos that matter to these right-wing thugs. It's who's getting booed. If it's Trent Lott being booed, it's a travesty. If it's Hillary Clinton being booed, it's an act of patriotism.
These people have no shame, no principles, no morals. They just want power. And will say anything, do anything to get it."

And Bush won nothing, get over it, the Supreme Court appointed him. Trying to give legitamcy to the travesty is making me question your patriotism; it's evidently conditional to partisanship.

Was Paul Wellstone Murdered?

By Dr. Michael I. Niman


"Anyone familiar with my work knows that I'm certainly not a conspiracy theorist. But to be honest, I know I wasn't alone in my initial reaction at this week's horrible and tragic news: that being my surprise that Wellstone had lived this long. Perhaps it's just my anger and frustration at losing one of the few reputable politicians in Washington, but I also felt shame. Shame for not writing in my column, months ago, that I felt that Paul Wellstone's life, more so than any other politician in Washington, was in danger. I felt that such speculation was unprofessional and would ultimately undermine my credibility. In the end, my own self-interest triumphed, and I never put my concerns into print. Neither did any other mainstream journalist, though I know of many who shared my concern."

Honestly B.T you crack me up.

I'am not fixated on Clinton getting a BJ.
I merely replied to your commets about a married man cheating on his wife.You think it is ok,and I don,t.

T.C. is right about dems,they attack the messenger and not the message.But its understandably,since you can't argue against the facts.

Nyeff: you know from other threads that I don't think it was OK and that I hold Clinton in a contemptual light on that issue. But, I'm an adult. I have been working in corporate America for most of my life. Do you know the infidelity stats for us as a nation? Pretty damn high! Everyone who posts on this board can name a job where people were having an affair. Do you know that the 'pillars of society' and 'captains of industry' in this country....most of them have clay feet when it comes to sexual indescretion.

The attack thing is another laugher: you guys crash into a tree and don't want the fact that you spent the previous 10 hours drinking at the pub entered into evidence!
Put the shoe on the other foot: If I only quoted sources like the American Socialist Party website or the Sons of the Confederacy, you wouldn't make a fuss? ( well Thomas wouldn't on that last one....he's a member! )

because everyone has had an affair it makes it ok - I'll try that w/ my wife and see how she feels. relative morality from the libs and now coming from a centrist

And I bet she's your High School sweetheart, ta boot!
Well, I all got to say is thank God for Larry Flynt putting that bounty out there to uncover all the Republican Hypocrits sniffing at Clintons privates.
So you'd turn down a six figure gig wih GE because Jack Welch was a crotch hound!?!
Can I be you Campaign Manager?

BT - how did you guess, she IS my HS sweetheart...for real.

ALSO - big apologies from me, I hit the 'edit' button, instead of 'quote' when I tried to reply to your post, was gonna 'quote' it. I then hit edit thinking I was posting. Your post is intact. That's what I get for trying to post while on the phone I suppose and why it says in your message that it was edited by me.

Me, too, Bob! that stupid edit button and quote button needs to be farther apart for us slow to read and quick to click folk.

Hey B-T, here's that one day a year when yours and my appearance come in handy!

Sorry Thomas, I'm a sexy beast! Remember, I make my daily bread selling to Coporate America; my second line of contact is Human resource, HR is female dominated.....you get the picture! And, yes, I flirt like crazy, I am a tease.
But, and a big BUT it is, I never ever crap where I eat!
