197. I thought that I aleady told you that I don't give a damn what you think!

And I don't give a damn what you appreciate or don't appreciate! I don't have to prove myself to anyone, especially someone who apparently doesn't know as much about Cajuns unless she asks her next door neighbor.

However, I will answer one more of your stupid questions - My mother was born in St. Martinville - that's what is most important to me. I still have cousins there, but most of my mother's relatives lived on Bayou Tigre (Tiger Bayou). Ask your Cajun neighbor where that is and how most of the people there made their living in the '50 and '60. You can also ask her where Cade is? That's where my father was born.

Apparently Cajuns have come a long way since I was a boy if we now have to "prove" that we are Cajun to a Yankee like you. You have no Idea how funny that is.

Okay, no problem - I just put you on my ignore list and.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #3

Ignoring them would take away the comedic factor. nt. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #5

Not to mention deprive them of the attention they so desparately seek. 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #84

If Hillary drops out. 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #2

I bet you think that post was cute... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #40

well now it's just funny 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #47

Yes it was cute and funny. Please 840high Nov 2015 #55

Speaking of cute and funny... MissDeeds Nov 2015 #85

I didn't get any either. Maybe 840high Nov 2015 #112

Or maybe the treats are securely attached to the bridle of truedelphi Nov 2015 #153

If it's Jim Webb? CreekDog Nov 2015 #75

Actually, she has been a Democrat since the 60s. Beacool Nov 2015 #179

just saying if she drops out 2pooped2pop Dec 2015 #212

It is a threat and they don't have much more than that. NCTraveler Nov 2015 #4

Most are trolls. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #7

Yep. That much is now clear. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #11

The vast majority I have on ignore. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #16

HA! Same here! I'll often see a "hot" thread with over 50 replies ... NurseJackie Nov 2015 #25

It's becoming so commonplace here! MoonRiver Nov 2015 #29

Misread something in the thread Omaha Steve Nov 2015 #86

No problem. NurseJackie Nov 2015 #94

I am not a troll. jkbRN Nov 2015 #21

It's obvious that not EVERYBODY in the GE will support Hillary. nuff said MoonRiver Nov 2015 #24

Very true statement, and you should respect those opinions. jkbRN Nov 2015 #27

I have a right to respect, or not, whomever I wish. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #28

If she wins 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #48

Makes perfect sense, cause she would have won. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #88

Both sides of what? blue neen Nov 2015 #108

democrats and republicans 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #160

Not necessarly.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #189

Speak for yourself. blue neen Nov 2015 #196

I agree, but all of us here aren't Democrats CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #206

Manny are, thats true. zappaman Nov 2015 #59

I see what you did there. Number23 Nov 2015 #70

LOL ... That made me laugh because every time I type, "manny" ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #96

I promise to do so... 99Forever Nov 2015 #6

But what if... HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #9

In this country you ae perfectly free to vote against your best interests.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #41

Hypothetical scenario HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #46

We're in a winner take all taught_me_patience Nov 2015 #61

That's a false narrative HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #65

You will only have a point when and if a third party becomes viable.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #113

I understand that. Nader is a perfect example. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #123

It is a vicious circle which third parties will never overcome... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #143

According to DU's TOS we have to vote for Dems no matter what d_legendary1 Nov 2015 #171

Good post that breaks it down brilliantly brush Nov 2015 #127

Or to refuse to vote against their best interest Doctor_J Nov 2015 #54

Kick and REC'D! BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #10

If we lose the White House Freddie Nov 2015 #12

Vote for the populist who will reverse the trend, not for the Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #19

and that is a good argument for why 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #49

That is why we need a strong LIBERAL with coattails so we can keep the WH and take back at least Vincardog Nov 2015 #125

Uh, are you telling people how to vote in a democracy? jkbRN Nov 2015 #13

Thank you for your concern. MoonRiver Nov 2015 #18

Thank you for such an insightful rebuttal! jkbRN Nov 2015 #22

Aww, you haz a sad? MoonRiver Nov 2015 #26

Please, speak English. jkbRN Nov 2015 #45

Yah...THIS IS AMERICA! MineralMan Nov 2015 #62

Re-read my post. I said vote for for whoever the hell you want! CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #30

I get it, but to tell people to suppress their thoughts/feelings jkbRN Nov 2015 #42

Yes, forums are supposed to be an open dialogue. blue neen Nov 2015 #115

I still want a vow that Clinton will not pull a Lieberman if she loses the primary Scootaloo Nov 2015 #14

Yup! Ed Suspicious Nov 2015 #20

Bingo! n/t Aerows Nov 2015 #71

And I wouldn't put it past her to pull one. Betty Karlson Nov 2015 #110

We will never know if she would have tried that, will we? CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #184

As you can see from this thread, it is a threat. It's become boring and tiresome lunamagica Nov 2015 #15

Although I support Hillary... chillfactor Nov 2015 #17

rednecks would probably be the last word that would correctly describes 2pooped2pop Nov 2015 #51

Give me a candidate worth voting for, and I'll vote for them. jeff47 Nov 2015 #23

Agreed. HerbChestnut Nov 2015 #31

If you are bent on self distruction.... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #32

Kind of an ironic reply Scootaloo Nov 2015 #33

The irony is lost on him I think. Chan790 Nov 2015 #155

I'm afraid it's not me who's bent on self-destruction. jeff47 Nov 2015 #34

Look go vote for whomever you want... CajunBlazer Nov 2015 #38

Actually, in the general election my vote won't count. jeff47 Nov 2015 #50

The popular vote matters to incumbents and in contested elections BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #66

Yeah, that totally worked for Gore. jeff47 Nov 2015 #67

Are you saying he would have been treated exactly the same had he lost the PV? BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #69

Considering he got nothing for winning the popular vote, I fail to see jeff47 Nov 2015 #72

Well, now. Aerows Nov 2015 #83

Haha, yeah...Ask him if he would prefer Bernie winning PV/EV or just EV BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #90

You forgot to list what Gore got for winning the PV. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #135

Credibility and energy, which he squandered BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #138

Yeah, what exactly could he do with that "Credibility" after the SCOTUS ruling? jeff47 Nov 2015 #144

Thanks for answering BeyondGeography Nov 2015 #148

You forgot to explain how "Credibility" would overcome the SCOTUS ruling. (nt) jeff47 Nov 2015 #150
