Elizabeth Warren is Dead to Me. Dead.

[MannyGoldstein]

I knew it was bad when Elizabeth Warren didn't personally camp out at Occupy, but this... this is the end of the line for me and her:

OH SHIT...Elizabeth Warren just praised Obamacare

It's over.

I'm back to praying for a Kucinich/Greenwald ticket in 2016.

1. Obviously you should run, n-Way-Manny.

The field is wide f'ing open!

Anyway, I'm certain that you believe you can win the big enchilada, with a side of refried beans.

[Aerows]

5. Oh my

You just reminded me that I haven't had lunch yet, and an enchilada with a side of refried beans sounds *WONDERFUL*. :sigh: Hopefully I will be able to go to lunch soon.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. Just don't eat pie.

Obama likes pie. Must not show any solidarity.

[mindwalker_i]

34. And don't divide pi by two either

Or you'll become the radical right angle.

[MannyGoldstein]

72. Is that a radian joke?

Those are orthogonal to my way of thinking.

[mindwalker_i]

73. I'm sure you're acutely aware of that

Sorry, my sense of humor is a little obtuse, and I tend to go off on tangents.

It's a sine of a twisted mind.

[MannyGoldstein]

74. Cosh, that's hyperbolic

This is getting exponentially worse, so I'll stop.

Sorry!

[mindwalker_i]

87. Nice

I can see there's come congruency in our senses of humour

[Paulie]

7. Except to keep this kicked.

K&R. Smooches.

[bahrbearian]

21. Oh its you.

[MineralMan]

22. Why, yes, it is.

How astute of you to notice.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

28. Is that the 'royal We'? If not, please list those for whom you speak.

[MineralMan]

30. Nah. It's the Anonymous We.

Those for whom I speak are legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

I remain,

Anonymously MineralManny

[MannyGoldstein]

36. That was actually funny. nt

[arely staircase]

58. LOL nt

[Ishoutandscream2]

42. Oh great finger-wagger

We. Do. Not. Care. What. You. Think.

[sabrina 1]

54. We DO care!

Most of us care.

[MineralMan]

65. That's nice.

[sabrina 1]

75. I think so. As you can see, it's never a good idea to speak for other people.

[MineralMan]

90. And, yet, you often pretend to speak for Democrats.

Mirror, mirror on the wall....

[Sheepshank]

94. *SNICKER*

...the ricochet zingers are always the best.

[sabrina 1]

105. Oh 'schnaaap'! Not if they so widely miss their target!

That little guy is in honor of one of my favorite and most eloquent DUers!

[Number23]

100. Oh SCCHNNAPP!!!

I have never, EVER seen you go off on ANYBODY. Oh, that was worth the wait.

[sabrina 1]

104. You're confused, I speak for me alone. The fact that so many often agree with me, simply means

THEY feel I am speaking for them. Some people speak for me also, and when they do, even though they are not claiming to do so, I often tell them I appreciate their speaking for me.

That is quite different from someone who thinks they speak for others, only to be told more oftne than not, they do not.

[Capt. Obvious]

3. We. Do. Care.

[WillyT]

4. I Care...

[Oilwellian]

8. I care a LOT

[nomorenomore08]

101. It's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it... Whoa-whoa-oooh-oooh...

[Cali_Democrat]

9. Oh come on, Manny...you can do better than that!!

I figured you'd have a better response to my thread than this!!!



Looks like I overestimated your abilities....

[MannyGoldstein]

11. That's a very easy mistake to make

Overestimating my abilities.

[hootinholler]

18. IMHO this is the perfect observation about your thread.

Especially considering your reply here.

[Capt. Obvious]

26. This place has gone off the boredom cliff

with the same groups of people trying to troll each other 12 times a day and usually not in clever ways.

Actual interesting shit drops off the front page.

[rhett o rick]

43. The Blue Dogs get bored because there are so many subjects here that they

all boycott. Subjects like fracking, XL Pipeline, the TPP, criticism of Wall Street, indefinite detention, and more. Interesting that so-called liberal Democrats wouldnt have any opinion on these very important issues.

[Rex]

46. Yeah notice how they NEVER post in any of those threads?

It seems all they can do is concern troll easy threads like this one. That is nice of you to call them Blue Dogs...I don't think they are anything close to being Dems.

[rhett o rick]

56. They dont meet my definition of Democrats. But if you ask them they will

tell you they are liberal. Go figure. Some of them have good hearts but they can not stand up to authority.

[mmonk]

63. +100000

[Capt. Obvious]

55. Even better

they openly mock liberal ideals that you'd think they'd embrace.

Well, I don't think they would.

[rhett o rick]

57. I think they think they want freedom and liberty but they are not

willing to stand up for it. They are authoritarians.

[Scootaloo]

76. There's a point where we need to drop the polite fiction

They're not Blue Dogs. They're not Third Way.

They're Republicans.

[rhett o rick]

83. As frustrated as I get, I wont go that far. I mean some are probably.

What a great way to disrupt. Pretend you're an Obama fan and blast all that dare challenge any of his policies. But I think most would or have stood up against the Republicans like Bush. My idea is that they are authoritarians. While they might really want freedoms, liberties, and an end to the growing wealth gap, they wont challenge anyone with a (D) behind their name. They dont question authority. So when Pres Obama accepts fracking, the Pipeline, the TPP, etc. they keep their heads down and attack those like Snowden and Greenwald that might embarrass the WH.

[MannyGoldstein]

99. Not exactly

They've discovered spell check.

[arely staircase]

10. threads by Manny

77. Manny Approved THis Post

88. Which is probably why they are always so INCREDIBLY boring and predictable.

Not that his (dwindling numbers of) panting fans ever seem to care.

14. Are you joking or are you serious Manny?

[Electric Monk]

27. Perhaps he's "Ha Ha Only Serious" Manny

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ha+ha+only+serious

Applied especially to parodies, absurdities, and ironic jokes that are both intended and perceived to contain a possibly disquieting amount of truth, or truths that are constructed on in-joke and self-parody. This lexicon contains many examples of ha-ha-only-serious in both form and content. Indeed, the entirety of hacker culture is often perceived as ha-ha-only-serious by hackers themselves; to take it either too lightly or too seriously marks a person as an outsider, a wannabee, or in larval stage. For further enlightenment on this subject, consult any Zen master.

[snooper2]

17. ME look at ME!

Look at me now!

Is that you Chris Brown!

[snooper2]

86. what are you talking about?

I bring awesomeness to DU!

for example, have you seen the new Pentatonix video- Greatness!

(and we have people saying music today sucks, blah )

[pscot]

20. Oh Manny. Say it aint so

[MisterP]

23. they really can't comprehend that liking someone because they'll push policies

that are good doesn't mean that we think that all the policies endorsed (or just praised in the most boilerplate fashion) by a candidate are good

WE're not the ones 100% behind the flavor of the month, WE're not the "purists" because we dare to have standards, WE're not the ones whose every thought revolves around the chosen candidate and who can't see anything else when we close our eyes ("we" meaning "anyone left of Francisco Franco&quot

[djean111]

52. Correct you are! No comprehension, or else deliberately (and transparently) pretending.

Talk about purists! bwah!
The use of don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good just swoooooshes over their heads, too.

25. I'm holding out for a Nader-Snowden ticket.

[bahrbearian]

37. I'm sure a lot of heads are exploding, right now.

[rhett o rick]

40. Or a Cintion - Christie ticket. The Blue Dogs would go crazy. nm

[Jack Rabbit]

29. Marx-Lennon in 2016

Let's go for something really radical. I think we'd all support this ticket before we'd embrace Cruz-Rubio.
[center]

[/center]

[TBF]

31. Honestly I think the third way would go for

Cruz-Rubio before they'd go for Marx-Lennon (or Lenin) ...

[Jack Rabbit]

35. There was a joke here prior to the 2004 election

. . . that said the DLC would like a Bush-Lieberman national unity ticket.

My own version of that was that the DLC wanted the Democrats to nominate Bush. Since the DLC didn't seem to think Democrats could beat Republicans unless they sounded just like Republicans, why not just run the Republicans in lieu of Democrats?

First, the DLC rags on any one who says there's no difference between Democrats and Repubulicans.
Then they rag on any Democrat who tries not to sound like a Republican.

[rhett o rick]

41. Dont laugh. I think the Third Way would like a Clinton-Christie ticket.

Just sayin.

[Jack Rabbit]

53. Christie as Hillary's running mate?

Don't these guys have any respect for ethics and integrity in politicians, do they?

[rhett o rick]

59. They say that winning is more important then integrity. That's why they like Clinton.

They see her as a winner. If Christie would change parties, they would accept him in a minute. Their philosophy is "stay with the status quo. That's so much easier than standing up for freedom, liberty and equality."

[Electric Monk]

33. Hmm... Sean or Julian?

[Jackpine Radical]

60. Unfortunately, both John & Groucho are dead.

Other than that, it would be a fantastic ticket.

[Jack Rabbit]

70. Even dead, they couldn't be worse most politicians, heads of state or captains of industry nowadays

Consider that.

[Jackpine Radical]

91. And we could pretty well guarantee they could carry Chicago.

They'd get 90% of the dead vote, for sure.

[Jack Rabbit]

103. You mean Rahm doesn't have that consituancy all sewed up?

Mayor Emanuel isn't the sort of politician I would expect to clean up the government.

[Puzzledtraveller]

32. Wato says it makes little difference.

Good luck!

[scarletwoman]

61. Thank you.

Amazing how Manny's OP has apparently whooshed over the heads of so many posters on this thread.

[Autumn]

84. Manny always whooshes right over their heads. It's so damn funny.

I see those posts and I'm like WTF how can a person not get that. It's like stepping into bizarro world.

[bobduca]

85. hard to say...

Some here seem to be good at feigning ignorance, or offense as the situation merits.

[Veracious]

39. Nonsense.....

The Republicans will not hesitate to crush you and yours. Get on board work within the party to get the candidates you like, but stop with all this whinner bullshit.

[Cal33]

45. Others have tried, but Obama is the only one who has succeeded in getting any kind of

health bill at all. Think of it as Step 1. It's up to future presidents to get to Step 2 and 3 before
the USA will finally have universal coverage for all its people. The Repugs. are fighting against
this as though their lives depended on it.

And besides, half a loaf is better than no bread.

[Rex]

50. Oh...you...

Lie to me some more, you know you like her.

[scarletwoman]

62. Thank you. When I saw that thread yesterday, I was tempted to reply

with a simple "So?" But I didn't want to kick the ugly stupid thing.

[reddread]

64. +1

conservative trolls remind me of the Wizard of Oz, except they each need a heart, a brain and courage.

[MisterP]

67. they're even trying to hide behind Grayson and Warren--like they'd ever support her

Jane Harman's too lefty for what they want: but they're such terrifying voids that they'll kill for whoever gets the nomination

[winter is coming]

68. Some people have very odd notions of how best to persuade someone to support their candidate.

Either they don't realize they're further alienating people who don't want to vote for Hillary in the first place, or they don't care, or they do care and are trying to hurt Hillary.

[pa28]

71. "Don't feed the trolls" is good advice.

Threads like that would take up less shelf space if DU'ers just stopped engaging them.

[malokvale77]

79. ^^^ This ^^^

It surely was an ugly stupid thing.

[McCamy Taylor]

66. Should there be little sarcasm smilies? I'm confused. But I still support Julian Castro!

[Scuba]

69. Makes sense she would. After all, she was once a Republican.

I heard she has boxes in her garage too.

[malokvale77]

Just for the fun of it.

93. well that one was out of line.

95. True but

that gets said to the OP often and I've rarely seen it hidden.

97. But it's *true* for the OP. nt
