What a damn circus that was! Are you exhausted?
Good grief...I feel like I just ran a marathon and if I had to watch Ickes speak one more time today, I think I would have broke my screen:argh: I can't believe the gall and audacity of that man and the hecklers. Do they realize how they looked? I was embarrassed for them and they should have thrown them out on their ass. I can't believe I watched that all day...
now for a stiff drink:beer:

anybody else? phew...get this primary over:crazy:

2. Obama was smart to ask for no protestors.
That would have been a debacle. Now its just a Hillary embarrassment.

12. Yeah, Hillary never asks for moderation. Instead she finds
value in inciting the crazies.

14. Very smart of him. It could have turned into a real brawl. But this attitude is passed down from
the top, e.g. Hillary CLinton and Harold Ickes.

3. Emulating republican thugs.
The H. Clinton campaign is a disgrace to the Democratic party.

6. That was a crude attempt at imitating the Republicans in 2000
who blocked the recount.

8. EWW
That was a horrible episode. Horrible. Granted, a seafood allergy may be coloring my perception, but I still say HORRIBLE. In fact, I am outraged that you would spew such filth here at DU, where we used to be safe and united.

5. I felt disgusted and embarrassed. When I heard Ickes
disingenuous tirade I knew that I was listening to an enemy of America.

7. I'm kinda glad my internet was down most of the day!
YouTube videos and posts here are plenty for me, but I know I would have gotten sucked in if I could.

9. It was hard not to get sucked in. I did and spent most of the day in front of the
computer or TV--that is until my mother-in-law called-which was just about as bad:eyes:

16. I appreciated it!
There were circus like moments, to be sure, but I appreciated the democracy involved. There was a guy who called into CSPAN--he was a lapsed Republican who had come over for Obama, and he appreciated it too. It's messy and sometimes ugly, but it's thorough, and it works, ultimately. ;-)

18. For a moment I almost panicked when they started the motions.
I thought they were going to seat Florida as-is. :scared:
