55. I wanted a primary challenge to define the differences, so 'who you talkin' to?' n/t

I also support the lawsuits on the NDAA. There are things that Obama may do as CoC that I don't approve of, but then there are things that every POTUS has or will do, that can be called crimes against humanity and nature. If Hedges wins the lawsuit along with Ellsburg, I'll be glad. It's not about Obama, it's about the MIC.It should be called by the original term used by Eiserhnower, the MICC or Military Industrial Congressioal Complex.

What is going on in D. C. is not the sole idea of one man, but grows from a state by state series of employment and education that has brought this mess on all our heads. He's governing a country that has been into building this for fifty years, not the nation of Bhutan.

Are we cool now? Hope you had a nice day in the sun.

Is plonk an insult? jenwilson Apr 2012 #8

Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's kill file FiveGoodMen Apr 2012 #10

Wait a minute, ignore them? I wasn't supposed to kill all the people in my kill file? FSogol Apr 2012 #12

Yes, and Obama was renominated anyway Ken Burch Apr 2012 #32

It can depress turnout. That post is pure bull shit Motown_Johnny Apr 2012 #73

The points raised in it are legitimate Ken Burch Apr 2012 #41

Compromise often leads to some of what you want, rather than none. LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #91

Why does this particular poll stick in your craw? AtomicKitten Apr 2012 #33

Not the poll. LoZoccolo's arrogant, gloating use of it. Ken Burch Apr 2012 #37

He didn't even post a link to this post (he never does), AtomicKitten Apr 2012 #43

Posting a Gallup poll is left-baiting?... SidDithers Apr 2012 #80

He wrote me a DU mail last night that says "ARE you ever going to stop with the left-baiting?". LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #92

OH MY GOD, YOU'RE REVEALING THE CONTENTS OF A PRIVATE EMAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DisgustipatedinCA Apr 2012 #94

It was basically a reiteration of what he posted here. LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #95

Your "citronella candle" comment basically vindicated my point. Ken Burch Apr 2012 #98

Why should claims that the base are no longer supporting Obama go unrefuted? LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #100

Obama just clinched renomination without a challenge Ken Burch Apr 2012 #102

I've been posting this statistic since long before that. LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #103

Now, you no longer need to. Ken Burch Apr 2012 #104

Why do you assume that I'm saying anything in addition to the statistic? LoZoccolo Apr 2012 #105

Your reply didn't make much sense. Bonobo Apr 2012 #72

No, that works only for self defining classifications. TheKentuckian Apr 2012 #97
