24. I dare you to show me a post where I have warranted this.
Edited on Wed Aug-10-11 02:29 PM by William769
I'll show you one from earlier today.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1709164&mesg_id=1709233

When you have no argument this is what you always seem to fall back on. Doesn't look good for you.

ON EDIT: For your edit, what does that have to do with Hillary?

30. You should have led with what you really wanted to say.
and you didn't until here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=1711189&mesg_id=1711240

As such you invite people to guess what you are "fucking pissed" about de jour.

21. As she deserved to.
It's just that we've subsequently discovered that Obama didn't deserve to win it.

I'm all for primarying Obama.

12. You wouldn't want to share WHY? Who knows, you may
recruit some fellow seekers.

I think it's really crappy to post something like this and not elaborate - don't we have a right to know? If not, why bother even posting at all?

35. And what do you expect to come of this?
This opponent magically defeats Obama and runs in the GE, wins (despite lack of precedent) and rules the other way in the DOMA case (never mind what his other positions would be)?

Or is it more likely that, assuming the primary opponent wins (highly unlikely) and is soundly defeated by the Republican nominee that emerges from a group where the most sane member doesn't want to treat gays Old Testament-style but still won't do jack shit for them?

51. Waste of time and money.
Every penny spent to either waste time on a primary challenge that will do no good could be better spent supporting house/senate people. Wise up.

29. As I say below, most heterosexuals will never get it - though if it were their own families,
they'd raise hell. Gotta love how that double standard works for them, huh. Nice work, if you can get it, as Billie Holiday sang...

been at the discrimination my brothers and sisters have suffered.

Double standard seems to work for you, though, YOU care, WE don't give a fuck.

36. That story knocked the last bit of faith I had
in the humanity of this administration too.

What an abjectly craven mind-set you have to have to deport a gay man caring for his dying partner while protecting the looters of our Treasury and their war criminal cohorts!

39. THAT IS FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS! The man is taking care of his partner
who has Aids and Obama is deporting him? :grr: Are you fucking kidding me? What the hell is wrong with that man? My G-d!

<snip>Although President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder have declared that DOMA is unconstitutional and that the Administration would no longer defend it in court, they also said they would continue to enforce the law.

Makk said he has never been in the U.S. illegally.


William, I'm with you. This is unforgivable. What else does he have up his sleeves for this country? Geezus!:grr:

Since then, we have seen the administration of a cowardly DoJ.

50. Outrageous! The hits just keep coming from this administration.
Can it be any more obvious that they just don't care about the people who elected them??

That is a heartless and disgraceful decision which I would not have expected even from Bush.

Edited on Wed Aug-10-11 02:45 PM by Major Hogwash
But, I don't know why you would take your gloves off, you'll get "dish pan hands".

Another moment brought to you by the ad makers.

Do you watch Mad Men?
Now that's a damned good program!!

Man, I won't have anything to watch if they cancel it, too.
Desperate Housewives announced they are only going to do one more year.
