Tue Apr 5, 2016, 12:28 PM
Apr 2016

When I was a kid I loved professional wrestling and wanted to be a professional wrestler...I must have been about thirteen years old and I was wrestling with my friend in his backyard. I had him in a pile driver but didn't consummate the hold because, even then, I knew I could break his neck and really get in trouble.

What does that have to do with DU?


One of the staples of professional wrestling was "the loser leaves town" match...

How about a "loser leaves DU" wager. If Hillary loses I leave DU forever. If Bernie loses you leave DU forever.


That way we both have a real stake in the outcome.

I even remember his name. Any way I had his head between my legs and was about to finish the move but decided not to.I let him out. I knew wrestling was fake, even then, and didn't want to hurt/ kill my friend and/or end up in juvey.

Tue Apr 5, 2016, 04:09 PM
Apr 2016

Time => April 26th is the primary

And he's already working their neighbor, New York.

And the other states voting around that time all border New York or are very close: PA, CT, RI, MD, DE

Another is there are even fewer blacks than Michigan 11.x%
I think MD and DE might be tougher in that regard though these are northern states so the black vote won't be as heavy for Clinton as the south and I think blacks are starting to come around for Bernie.

Like Michigan, the folks in PA aren't going to like Hillary's stance on free trade.

You mean the Cowardly "Yes" vote that the sitting vice President, the sitting Secretary Of State, and 58% of Senate Democrats made:

58% of Democratic senators (29 of 50) voted for the Iraq War Resolutio. Those voting for the resolution were:
Bayh, Evan (D-IN)
Baucus, Max (D-MT)
Biden, Joseph (D-DE)
Breaux, John (D-LA)
Cantwell, Maria (D-WA)
Carnahan, Jean (D-MO)
Carper, Thomas (D-DE)
Cleland, Max (D-GA)
Clinton, Hillary (D-NY)
Daschle, Tom (D-SD)
Dodd, Chris (D-CT)
Dorgan, Byron (D-ND)
Edwards, John (D-NC)
Feinstein, Dianne (D-CA)
Harkin, Tom (D-IA)
Hollings, Ernest (D-SC)
Johnson, Tim (D-SD)
Kerry, John (D-MA)
Kohl, Herb (D-WI)
Landrieu, Mary (D-LA)
Lieberman, Joseph (D-CT)
Lincoln, Blanche (D-AR)

Nelson, Ben (D-NE)
Nelson, Bill (D-FL)
Reid, Harry (D-NV)
Rockefeller, Jay (D-WV)
Schumer, Chuck (D-NY)
Torricelli, Robert (D-NJ)


.... Hillary gets 100% of the vote of those who lack Object Permanence...



Wow, that's some highfalutin intellectual concept. It hasn't worked its way down to us plebeians yet.

As long as you hold Secretary Kerry, Vice President Biden, and the 58% of Senate Democrats who voted for the Iraq War Resolution in the same low esteem then I will not question the righteousness of your outrage.

I just see it differently.

It was an awful vote and I believe all three of them; Kerry, Biden, and Clinton, had the presidency on their mind when they made that vote.

I opposed it from the jump because we had Saddam in a box with the no fly zones and sanctions. He was strong enough to deter Iran but too weak to threaten his neighbors.

I just chose to move past it.
