Bill Clinton is Denethor.
Edited on Mon May-05-08 10:29 PM by Bonobo
He is a steward, bitter that he is not the King and that he has been supplanted by a younger man (Barack "Aragorn" Obama).

Or is Hillary Denethor?

2. I am overjoyed to see you are still here, CJP.
Always wanted to ask this.

Is your handle a reference to Prester John?

11. bonobo, what a name, anyway, odd I may be, but I at least know
what Hillary stands for. You folk are only running on emotion. What a sad time you are in for. I feel sad for you folk.
Anyway, you picked him and voted for him , so you deserve what you get.

16. A bonobo is a species of ape, like a gorilla or a human.
And no, it is not based on emotion. For me, it is about 2 things: Rationality -as in when you know that what you have been doing is not working, you try something else IF you are rational and Character Judgment: If you the ability to read character at all, it is OBVIOUS that Obama is a more honest person. Sounds simple, but it's true and most people agree with me. Her specific negatives in the polls show it clearly. She is not perceived as trustworthy. It will only get worse too. Those numbers tend to go down, not up.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news for you, but it is best to be more realistic.

36. Oh you mean how Obama doesn't have a chance in hell of
winning the GE with only half the support of Democrats.

That is bad news.

14. That's laying it on pretty thick.
Hillary is more like Shelob, engorging herself on the light out of the Two Trees (Towers?).

Bill is more like Melkor, but only after he has been chained.

Do you?

15. everyone is getting edgy around here today-
Edited on Mon May-05-08 10:46 PM by jakem
i got blasted this morning for misreading someone's post-

another person decided to disagree with me when i said Peter Scolari from Bosom Buddies was a nice obscure reference!



Don't even know what the point of posting is anymore, though news (and rumor) still breaks nice and quick here.

on edit- your post was totally fine (and I would agree)

20. Peter Scolari is an excellent obscure reference.
As is "Holmes and Yo Yo".

25. Obama is Mace Windu
Not because he is black, but because he is the most badass Motherfucker in all of Star Wars...though that probably is because Samuel L. Jackson is a badass.

23. LOL! The LOTR Geek boys are behind Obama's popularity here at DU.
Jesus. Who dusted off the LOTR metaphors?

Good God. We really ARE up against the teeny boppers.

26. Why teeny boppers? LOTR has been popular with the counterculture since the 60's.
That would make lots of LOTR fans that are well into their 60's as well as everyone under that age.

I will be 42 soon.

30. Ummm...LOTR is hardly considered "counter-culture".
LOL. The attempts by ObamaTots to adopt Tolkien are insulting to thinking persons every where.

I read The Hobbit when I was 12. It's not controversial in the least. And it wasn't then.

34. LotR was introduced to me by my conservative, Mormon, parents.
In the 70's.

NEXT!

28. Serious question. Why do you hate Bill Clinton?
I thought he was an excellent president.

You're just mad at him because of his fierce support of his wife.

I would do the same thing, as I imagine you would as a loyal spouse.

How would you feel if someone posted similar about Obama's wife's fierce support of him?

You'd throw a fit.

Complete double standard.

I don't.

I think he was the greatest Republican president of my life.

And my outrage is absolutely selective.

I go after people like yourself who don't care about division in the party.

38. I see Hillary as having crossed the line vis a vis party unity.
That changed the rules in my mind.

Your charge of lack of integrity is therefore not appropo.
