I see the same old names. That is why we have the BOG. I find it sad that a Democratic website has to include a protected area to discuss its own President.

I have been a Cubs fan for more than fifty years. I have seen the Curse of the Billy Goat in action. My son and I were at the Bartman game.

I don't have any bad feelings about the Rangers. I hope your team does well, for your sake.

He calls it "Tiger Beat on the Potomac." That pretty much sums it up.

Still can't get my little brain around the raging media hatred of the Clintons. It is sad when Dems (who think they are just SO above it all) buy into the BS.

This is how we end up with Rethugs in power with all the fallout that makes life miserable for all.

8. Bill Clinton was elected POTUS twice without kowtowing to the Villagers. They are still enraged.

HRC is an incredibly smart woman. Several of the worst HRC haters are female Villagers who are stuck in the 1950's and are highly paid to denigrate other women. The women in the media who do this show they are greedy, not very intelligent and are really rather pathetic. They are willing to sell out and help the right wing with their divide and conquer propaganda technique.

I love CP, that Tiger Beat on the Potomac bit is always hilarious. I am sure that gives several pompous windbags heartburn!

The Democratic Party has a couple of factions which are not particularly helpful to prospective candidates unless they have the correct pedigree. Our great party is made up of imperfect human beings, some of whom allow their own egos to become more important than winning elections.

The abandonment of Howard Dean's 50 State Strategy is an example of some of those egos working against the best interests of the party and the American people

HRC understands this. Disturbingly, a couple of the more stupid factions would still rather sabotage her chances than actually win in 2016
