56. Sweet Cheezus... You're kidding right? Sometimes your posts make me picture a kid at a bday party...

Blindfolded; swinging at a pinata with a broomstick. Flailing at every sound, thinking you are going to hit it with the next swing and spill all the candy. What you don't realize is that the pinata has been pulled up and out of your reach. Your broomstick isn't long enough to hit the pinata no matter what you do, and everyone else is laughing at the joke.

Enjoy the party.

Yes, because that's what this internet meme has been about for years. arcane1 Aug 2015 #33

Yet, "grow a pair," used as a synonym for courage to vote for a female President, no less, is fine. merrily Aug 2015 #100

I'm not a fan of that expression, personally. arcane1 Aug 2015 #114

I don't use any of them. merrily Aug 2015 #115

I never got invited. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #111

I would have invited you! merrily Aug 2015 #112

I should have specified "my treat" because that's what I meant. merrily Aug 2015 #116

You are TOO kind. I kid. I've never been excluded from birthday parties; I was making a point. cherokeeprogressive Aug 2015 #120

Your posts are good example of why IQ tests should be a requirement to post on this site. n/t brentspeak Aug 2015 #117

I see -- your approach is to hit 18 million Democrats? brooklynite Aug 2015 #15

There isn't one. Garrett78 Aug 2015 #18

What's funny is other countries would consider Bernie to be slightly left of center..... Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #21

Or even a "centrist" Garrett78 Aug 2015 #25

Too many people are looking for a hero on both sides of the political spectrum.... Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #26

What I fail to understand is why some here on DU are so against him even running. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #75

Name someone here who has said he shouldn't run... brooklynite Aug 2015 #80

Oh please, you mean you missed those posts and their implications? Live and Learn Aug 2015 #82

Then it'll be very easy for you to prove me wrong, won't it? brooklynite Aug 2015 #83

Nope, I'll follow Bernie's lead. Not naming any names. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #84

I thought Sanders' approach was not to attack his opponents... brooklynite Aug 2015 #85

You took that as an attack? Hmmm. Live and Learn Aug 2015 #86

Thank you so much! kenfrequed Aug 2015 #107

The difference here is there is video of Sanders self identifying as a socialist and stevenleser Aug 2015 #64

And plenty of videos wherein he disparages the Democratic Party. Plenty of quotes, too. BlueCaliDem Aug 2015 #108

Yes. That won't help Sanders either if this happens during the fight for the nomination. stevenleser Aug 2015 #110

Do you think there is a Democrat they WON'T smear? LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #68

With their own words? Only Sanders is desperately vulnerable there. stevenleser Aug 2015 #70

Of course they will smear him. They will smear every Democrat LondonReign2 Aug 2015 #71

And no-one will smear Hillary with any one of her many issues.... truebrit71 Aug 2015 #76
