20 posts in and you say this? and no link, and no context...no seriousness in any of your post CreekDog Dec 2011 #27

Everything you need to retrieve it with Google is in reply #25, along with where to cue it. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #28

No thank you. It's a lie until you post a link. CreekDog Dec 2011 #34

That sounds like "Schroedinger's cat" although I know almost nothing about that. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #35

The jury has probably said to "leave it alone". LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #32

Your blue D in a circle makes me think Democrats in your firing range? Did you intend that? peacetalksforall Dec 2011 #46

It's an official Democratic Party logo. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #48

Name the organization that made this official or provide the source.. peacetalksforall Dec 2011 #96

Why don't you go to the official Democratic Party website? former9thward Dec 2011 #125

Why would I go there when I didn't know it existed there? peacetalksforall Dec 2011 #157

You were questioning the poster about his claim it was a official logo. former9thward Dec 2011 #158

It's at the Democratic web site at "http://democrats.org". LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #161

A lot of people say that the DLC is responsible for ruining the Democratic Party. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #42

I trend in that direction but find it a strange way of discussing it mmonk Dec 2011 #43

strange way of discussing it? manipulation perhaps? CreekDog Dec 2011 #44

There is actually a reason behind the one-liner posts. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #47

yes and i explained to everybody what that reason is CreekDog Dec 2011 #49

You did not explain the reason, but you demonstrated it. LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #52

fascinating. What does that have to do with anything, by the way? DisgustipatedinCA Dec 2011 #64

So it looks like they excused the "drawn-out tease". LoZoccolo Dec 2011 #65
