my witty retort had already been posted by the time I finished typing

so I edited it out, because usually at least seventeen people jump all over me and say "someone already said that"

so now those seventeen people can bitch because this response has nothing whatever to do with anything and they wasted precious seconds reading it when they could have been typing something nasty to somebody else

OP by Boojatta:

The Aztecs had it all wrong. Here's how to prevent the end of the world...
Is there any proof that a hidden imam is not thinking of political policies for America and then posting them anonymously on message boards? Is there any guarantee a proposed political policy for America posted on a message board -- or an idea inspired by such a posted message -- will not come to Obama's attention and influence Obama?

I dare say that Senator H. Clinton needs to expand her body of knowledge. As far as she knows, Obama is not Islamic, but where is our watertight guarantee that no Islamic mind will ever influence him?

Furthermore, what guarantees that Salman Rushdie is not posting policy ideas anonymously on message boards and influencing the policies of the Al Qaeda, the Taliban, etc?

If we are destined to have Obama as a President of the United States influenced by some shadowy Islamic mind and we are destined to have Al Qaeda and the Taliban influenced by the mind of Salman Rushdie, then the result could be an epic but catastrophic confrontation that would likely make WWII look like a mere riot in Paris.

We must defend against this hazard at all costs. There are three choices: we can immediately end internet anonymity by means of a revision to international law, we can support Senator H. Clinton or we can support Senator John McCain. It's difficult to see any fourth option.

OP by Walter Sobchak:

Why are there so many more Hillary posts than Lee Mercer, Jr. posts?
Both of these fine candidates have the same chance of winning the nomination at this point. Sadly, I'm not surprised that Mercer isn't getting too many posts since he has basically no chance of winning the nomination by this point. But since Hillary also has basically no chance, it seems a little strange that there are so many Hillary posts.

response #1 by Old Crusoe:

Because she looks better in pearls.

OP by yibbehobba:

BREAKING: Obama Announces Major New Endorsement
(03-22) 10:57 WASHINGTON, (AP)

Senator Barack Obama today announced a new and powerful endorsement in his campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination - that of himself.

"I made the decision last week," Obama said, "But my recent speech on race relations has reassured me: I am the one I have been waiting for."

Obama further explained that he seriously considered endorsing Hillary Clinton, but was unhappy with her recent negative campaign tactics. He described the telephone conversation in which he told the Clintons about his endorsement as "heated."

"Bill Clinton, much as I respect him, appears to believe that I owe him a debt of gratitude since he, as the first black President, blazed the trail I am following." Obama said. However," he continued, "I believe that I am a stronger candidate against John McCain in the general election, and that is part of the reason that I, Barack Obama, am endorsing myself, Barack Obama for President.

Obama's self-endorsement caps off a week during which he announced another important endorsement - that of New Mexico governor Bill Richardson. Several high-ranking Democrats are still uncommitted in the nomination fight. John Edwards is expected to endorse Hillary Clinton before the North Carolina primary. Former Vice President Al Gore's intentions are unknown, and Bill Clinton is expected to endorse John McCain.

      Family Research Council: Export Gays from the US
"Medill News Service, a project run by Northwestern University graduate journalism students, recently ran a story about the Uniting American Families Act, legislation that 'would allow same-sex partners to be united legally through the U.S. immigration process...'

We oppose this bill because it is, although it may be at the margins, part of an assault on the definition of family ... I would much prefer to export homosexuals from the United States than to import them into the United States because we believe homosexuality is destructive to society."

The other day. And her whole family (yeah the carpenter is a woman -- did you assume otherwise you sexists) said they would never vote for Obama , Clinton or McCain. Yes it's true, they are mad at Obama for not speaking out against Joseph McCarthy, they are mad at Clinton for behaving like McCarthy, and they have secret suspicions that John McCain actually is Joseph McCarthy. They told it straight for all the candidates: Don't even try -- cause the Socialist female Carpenter vote is not on the table anymore, they are all going to vote for Eugene Debs as a write in candidate.

Many have asked about it. Some say it doesn't even exist.

Well, I'm here to tell you that it does exist. And I have a copy of it.

And since so many keep asking for it, I will now post it. Hurry up, since I get the feeling the mods will lock it pretty quick.

You can use a pen and paper to copy these names down. If you can type fast enough, you can do it that way. The easiest way is to copy and paste it into notepad or whatever you use to save information that you glean on the tubes.

So, without further ado, here it is - the official DU ignore list. This is the very same ignore list that I copied from my files.

Are you ready?

Really ready?

Sure about this?

I am naming names, you know.

OP by TheWraith:

Five ways to know when your political campaign is circling the drain.
1. The jokes that Sinbad makes about you are actually funny.

2. Your campaign is trying to explain how a long, detailed anecdote that you told twice, months apart, can be filed as "misspeaking."

3. You find yourself needing to pad your resume.

4. One of your longest standing friends compares one of your other longest standing friends to Judas... a metaphor which makes YOU the person who gets nailed to the big stick in the ground.

5. You're losing badly by every relevant measurement, and you continue to campaign on the grounds that your opponent is inexperienced and would be easy to defeat in the next election.

OP by TheWraith:

Five ways to know you shouldn't have run for President in the first place.
1. Going into a recession, your biggest economic advisor's main resume point is being renowned for nearly destroying the $200 billion dollar company she used to run.

2. You're either unwilling or unable to distinguish between people who don't like us and live within 5,000 miles of each other.

3. Your own campaign staff starts calling you "Strangelove" behind your back.

4. You think that doing ethically and legally dubious favors at the behest of the leggy blonde lobbyist is somehow less disturbing to the public than if you'd LITERALLY been in bed with her.

OP by Husb2Sparkly:

Note to Matthews: Hillary did not get the blow job. Bill did.
There are plenty of reasons not to like Hillary Clinton. For me it is her pathological ambition. All politicians are ambitious, but for some, it becomes pathological. She's would be one of them.

But not liking "the Clintons", as Matthews so often says, because of Bill's having had the presidential dick wetted in an anteroom to The Oval Office is pure hangup on the part of the person doing the not liking. That would be Matthews.

Chris ...... buddy ....... c'mere. Lemme letcha in on some news. Guys like Bill? They get blown. Kinda whenever they want it. Yasee, they have REAL power. And for some, that's a very strong attractant. We see it in movie stars and rock stars and athletes .... and yes, even in some teevee talkers. Not limp dick guys like you. But real men.

Obama campaign hit by fatal fraud!

Fraud Finishes Obama Campaign
March 24, 2008

By Hugh Jassmunch | March 24, 2008 - 17:02 ET

In the heated race for the nomination, the Obama campaign may have finally been hit with a scandal that spells demise for Barack Obama's Presidential aspirations. There is little doubt that Hillary Clinton supporters are breathing easier after the revelation that the Obama camp spent campaign money on decorative napkin holders at Tiffany's to the tune of Five hundred Seventy-Two dollars and twenty-five cents. Obama campaign spokeswoman, Jen Psaki is doing her best to keep a lid on the scandal and said, "That's all we're going with this... we're done talking about it." Another campaign staffer spoke on condition of anonymity; "Yes, we realize what this means to all the campaign donors out there, and I can't express how disappointed we all are in Mr. Obama for this. We had such great hopes."

Meanwhile, the Clinton campaign has released a statement regarding the scandal; "Although we are very sad to hear about this, Mr. Obama's character has been called into question before due to his association with people who've used foul language, not because he's black. Now we have an incident where he has spent money that was not his at a high-class department store that traditionally caters to whites, which has nothing to do with his being black, we didn't say that. How can the voters trust a man that spends money that isn't his where he's not supposed to? -Not that being black has anything to do with it."

When asked if her campaign associates with anyone who uses foul language, the campaign stated that; "We always use racially appropriate language and take every measure to make sure that no one we know or have ever known or will know in the future has, does, or will say anything that can be taken the wrong way."

When asked how the campaign was going to deal with this, the Obama staffer replied; "Well, the money was already paid back to the campaign, but since it was our donors' money to begin with, we feel we owe it to them to give it back." He went on to say; "We have over 25 million donors, so we owe them approximately .0023 cents each. We will begin mailing the checks out this week. The postage will most likely bankrupt the campaign since donations came to a complete halt over this issue. Again, we're really very sorry for Mr. Obama's actions."

There is no word yet on when Barack Obama will be issuing a statement or inevitably announcing that he will be dropping out of the race for the Democratic nomination, but media hopes of an undetermined nominee until the convention have been dashed.

OP by Bucky:

      GOP Senate candidate changed his name to "Pro-Life". What's YOUR new political name?
"A Senate candidate has legally changed his name to Pro-Life and will appear on the ballot that way this year, state election officials say.

As Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, the organic strawberry farmer from Letha, 30 miles northwest of Boise, was denied the use of his middle name when he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006 because the state’s policy bars the use of slogans on the ballot.

Now, though, officials in the Idaho secretary of state’s office say they have no choice because Pro-Life is his full and only name. He says he will run for the highest state office on the ballot every two years for the rest of his life, advocating murder charges for doctors who perform abortions and for women who obtain the procedure."

Apparently he believes it'll help win him votes to run as "Pro-Life" to take over Larry Craig's seat. I think this is an exciting development in democracy. I may just change my legal name to "Balanced-Budget McCivilrights" and see if I can't become a senator myself. Who's with me?

Outraged Snoopy declares HE, not HILLARY, shot down Red Baron
At a morning press conference outside his trusty Sopwith Camel, Snoopy, beloved canine star of print and screen, expressed his outrage at Democratic Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton's claims to have shot down the Red Baron during a trip to Europe as First Lady. Snoopy presented archival footage clearly showing HIM, not Hillary, in a pitched air battle over eastern France. Snoopy also allowed the press to tour his doghouse, err, Sopwith Camel and see the bullet holes sustained during the dogfight.

Following the brief press conference, Hillary spokesperson Socks the Cat stated that the Senator says "millions of words" throughout the campaign, and that she was taken out of context by the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, Fox News, the Wall Street Journal, and the comic section of every major and local newspaper in the country. Socks continued... "This does nothing to diminish her credibility as the most experienced candidate in the race, with over 100 years of government and combat experience!" When pressed for more details, Socks stormed away from the interviewer, muttering something about "why don't you ask Snoopy about Ron Brown's plane? Or Buddy the dog's "accident"???", followed by some hissing and the spitting up of a hairball consisting of both fur and Obama! bumper stickers clawed off the back of a neighbor's Toyota Prius.

New questions raised about top Clinton advisor
March 26th, 4:45 pm
Hillary Clinton called on to explain 60-year association with herself
Candidate's ties to controversial politician may spell trouble for campaign

SCRANTON, PA - Following several questionable "misstatements" about her trip to Bosnia, Hillary Clinton is once again being asked to justify her continuing affiliation with her campaign's most controversial figure, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Many supporters and political commentators are starting to wonder aloud why Senator Clinton has continued this relationship when it seems to be the source of so many of her problems.

"This is not just some random confidante," said Clinton expert and close friend Richard Mellon Scaife. "It's no secret that Hillary Clinton is probably the most important person in Hillary Clinton's life.

There really is no one else that even comes close. She should have expected that she would come under increased scrutiny, especially when she's been causing this many problems for Hillary's presidential campaign."

For her part, Senator Clinton addressed concerns in a press conference today. "I fully reject and denounce any offensive statements that may have been made," said the candidate. "But honestly, is it really fair that I be held accountable for everything said by me over 35 years of public life?"

She continued: "Did I know of my tendency to make untruthful statements in the past? Yes, I did. But so far, no one has been able to prove that I was even present when those things were said."

Clinton confidant James Carville was less than sympathetic. "She's a Judas!" screeched Carville. "After all the things Hillary has done for herself over the years, I can't believe she would betray herself in such a cowardly and unprofessional manner."

Aides contend that Clinton has been trying to cut ties with herself for years. They point to her heavy use of consultants, her forced speeches and manufactured tears as examples of recent attempts to develop a more acceptable persona. They are also quick to point out how unlikely it is that Hillary Clinton will play more than a token role in any upcoming Hillary Clinton administration.

      I'll only vote for him if
He wins a majority of the PLEDGED delegates. It has to be democratic.

response #3 by sniffa:

      He doesn't stand a chance anyhow after losing the Garlic Nose vote

response #10 by fadedrose:

      He speaks so much, so many words a day, sometimes he misspeaks
He didn't mean what he said, he was just tired.

But he'll be ready to answer the phone at 3 am after he gets some rest. A vote for Wright at the right time is right.

      Scientists Test Plan to Have Fish Catch Themselves
"Call them Pavlov’s fish: Scientists are testing a plan to train fish to catch themselves by swimming into a net when they hear a tone that signals feeding time.

If it works, the system could eventually allow black sea bass to be released into the open ocean, where they would grow to market size, then swim into an underwater cage to be harvested when they hear the signal..."

      Stage one- train bass to follow simple commands. Stage two:
Train them to wear "lasers".

Phones Will Soon Tell Where You Are
"Would you want other people to know, all day long, exactly where you are, right down to the street corner or restaurant?

Unsettling as that may sound to some, wireless carriers are betting that many of their customers do, and they're rolling out services to make it possible..."

"Phones Will Soon Tell Where You Are"......GREAT!!....

      Locking even though I posted in the thread.
It's been so busy, I forgot what forum I was in. :blush:

But fair is fair. This is GDP material in GD, so it must be locked just like all the primary threads in GDP get locked.
