Wow, 5 minutes spent perusing the posts and comments at Talkleft and I’m forced to ask yet again: why, oh why do I belong to a party of people who would rather tear each other’s heads off than actually come together to win an election?

Memo to the bitter (yes, BITTER) Talkleft crazies: you’re gonna vote third party because Obama’s supporters hurt your feelings in the primary? Hey, great. President-elect McCain thanks you for your support.

I still maintain the reason Gore 2000 sucked was Lieberman. Everything about him stunk to high heaven already, which I wasn’t surprised to see him latch on to the neoconservatives afterwards.

But disliking a politician based on his opinion on video games was considered Unserious, so nobody listened to me.

Gore + someone not awful would’ve been great. Gore + That Man… well, I was lucky I was 17 and unable to vote in 2000, or else I could’ve made a terrible decision in Florida’s election. As it was, I just got to watch everyone else make a terrible decision.

With the conversation going on here, I don't think that the democrats will be uniting anytime soon. I think that the "reagan republicans" who used to be , caucasian blue collar dems, dixiecrats, or moderate silent majorityiers will prefer to have a republican in the white house again.

I’ve liked Obama all along but I’m Canadian, so who cares?

The problem with Hillary hanging in with her phoney grin and stagey tough-guy act until the bitter end is that it could be August.

That only leaves about three months for the important campaign.

I mean the one against the GOP.

Wouldn’t it be better to get it together now and start campaigning against McCain?

Or have I finally gone completely nuts.

Sweet fucking jeebus on a pogo stick, did anyone read through that thread? Were there any democrats posting? It seemed to me as though every single one of them would be more than content to vote for the next iteration of chimpy mcnasty because their girl couldn’t pull it off.

And I’m not Obama fan. I dislike him a little less than Hillary and mainly because I think she’s run a truly crapulent campaign. No matter what, the idea of voting for or helping vote into office another rethug makes me want to vomit. What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Holy shit. Maybe I need to spend more time reading at some of these other sites. Maybe I should just avoid stupid like that altogether.

Gore is the man- I totally don’t see why people find him stiff.

Because a small group of highly-paid pundits told them he was.

Webb or Hillary for VP? Nah — We don’t need no stinkin’ Republican lite VP. Given the Bush record and with Grandpa McCain as an opponent, we have a chance to get some real progressives like Russ Feingold or Edwards elected.

If she would take a cabinet position, which I kinda doubt since it’d be kind of a step down from the Senate, I think, then don’t even think of her as Sec. of State. Seriously, it’s her foreign policy that has always been the deal-breaker: on war and on trade, she’s basically a Republican. Sec. of Energy or Interior? Ok. AG? Maybe, though we could sure as hell do better. Defense? Sure- that’s one place where maybe it’s acceptable to have a hawk.

But any position where she’d actual make foreign policy?

No. Hell, no.

Probably a moot point anyway- I agree with those who think her ego wouldn’t permit her to take any position under Obama, and I doubt Obama’s dumb enough to put her and Bill in a position to undermine him at every turn.

“And check periodically with Rush or Ann or Bill or Sean”

I read this as “check periodically with Rush or Ann or Bill or Satan” and I thought, yup, that’s about right.

And Lesley, didn’t you get the memo? Not only is Hillary in a lather; she’s in a lather jacket!

I liked John Kerry, and I even had a certain affection for Al Gore. Confession is good for the soul, they say.

I felt the same way about both of them.

If I wasn’t totally down with Kerry’s foreign policy, it still seemed worlds better than Bush’s. Plus, Kerry had other good features such as: detailed programs for the advancement and training of young female entrepreneurs, a medical focus on AIDS, and other stuff like that. & Gore is the man- I totally don’t see why people find him stiff. He just seems normal and calm to me.

The big problem with Obama offering Hillary the Veep spot? In his electoral battleground, the Clintons are still hated. It just doesn’t make sense to have her on a ticket that looks west, and that’s a pity. But it’s less of a pity if you think of it as a campaign that’s getting past Kerry 2004 (throw everything into Florida and Ohio) and building on 2006′s inroads.

Schweitzer of Montana, Sebelius of Kansas, possibly Kaine or Clark. Richardson has scuttlebutt around him that the GOP slime machine would love. Schweitzer would be good because he’s the opposite of Cheney.

I don’t care who wins. I just want to stop killing Iraqi kids. Can we do that please? Pretty please?

If we stop all of a sudden, it’d be like admitting that killing Iraqi kids is wrong, and America never admits wrongdoing. We’ll just have to taper off slowly, like we got bored with it.

this whole Obama candidacy is an orchstrated event right down to the choreographed efforts of MSM’s and SD’s Building on that, I just want to advise you that here in New Zealand, our election campaigns are not only orchestrated (the full Mahlerian orchestra, with a choir and Wagner tubas and everything) -- with choreographed roles for the media -- but we perform them on ice. Some election years it's Swan Lake, but in 2005 it was Sleeping Beauty. There's talk of staging Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet for this year. We're way ahead of you.

“I will vote for McCain with a sick smile on my face if the “Democrats” try to put her up as the nominee.”

See, that’s what makes you dead fucking wrong. If you think more war and more conservative supreme court justices are what this country needs, then by all means, please vote for McCain out of spite. Otherwise, pull your head out of your ass and enjoy the rush of oxygen to your brain.
