What If Russia Had Invaded Fricking Denver?

Russians? Invade Colorado?

Wolverines!!!

Its an interesting question.

What seems to be dysfunctional about the democratic party is that after about 6 or 7 years of anger. Just being angry at anything and everything for loosing 2 elections and having to stomach a war which they are opposed to they have taken this outrage and anger out on each other.

The party has become split and this is 1968 all over again. They feel equally betrayed by the Obama faithful who have called Bill and Hillary Clinton many disparaging names including what the op of this post implies.

In short Obama has won the nomination and now whenever the Clinton faithful "whine" about loosing or point a finger as to why they might have lost they are met with a chorus of name calling, get over it, derrogatory remarks.

It is as if the Obama faithful cannot get enough. They so relish the beat down of the Hillary wing of the Democratic party that they cannot seem to see beyond the anger that has ruled their political mindset for 7 plus years. The democrats are turning this anger at the war and Bush inward, upon themselves and it is precisely why the Hillary Clinton supporters might very well turn out en masses to support John McCain.

Nice lame-looking picture of Clinton supporters. All you're doing is making more and more divisiveness and alienating people who voted for Clinton. Instead of feeling good about Obama's media-assisted wresting of the nomination away from the candidate that would assure a landslide victory for democrats, you are rubbing our noses in the fact that you would promote a losing candidate over a winning one...just cuz you can...

And that ain't makin' any friends partner...

If Russia invaded Denver, I know which dem candidate I would want there defending the home turf..

And the name doesn't rhyme with "Osama".

This post was a revelation to me!

I realized:.
. . . IF instead of reading Shaun's conservative-hammering columns, I had gone out and bought lottery tickets, and
. . . IF only ONE of those lottery tickets had a multi-million dollar prize . . .
THEN I would now be a bloody multi-millionaire!

Thus, it is Shaun Mullen's fault I am not lying on a beach on my own tropical isle right now.

DAMN YOU, SHAUN MULLEN! DAMN YOUR EYES!

I...and all my now never-to-be-born illegitimate children with my would-be harem of cabana girls ... curse the day you ever placed fingertips to keyboard.

Yah, so HRC could have had the nomination "IF" . . . . who gives a rat's a**?
What about all those millions Shaun has cost me?

Well, since we're all speculating here (with the possible exception of Marlowecan - who I am going to try hitting up for few hundred Gs after he wins his lawsuit against Shaun) ...I guess I'll take my own turn. I wonder if Hillary might not be the nominee if she had run a campaign that accentuated the positive, rather than engaging in the Rovish tactics against Obama? I think a lot of would be supporters were turned off enough by that to move toward Obama. Heck, I would have given her my vote had she become the nominee, but I think those tactics turned around and bit her.

You gotta love them counterfactuals.

"Anger" ... since the Sixties, it has been pathological, but to them has been therapeutic. As McWhorter has called it, it is "therapeutic alienation." It is sick -- and often sickening.

Shaun, don't add to it.

I have to laugh, actually. Shaun is good at finding photos even if his objective isn't to have the main story of the photo tell the tale he wants to tell, but instead merely one or more details, down to the most superficial level. Well, I have a present for you.

You'll just have to admit -- if you're honest -- it's an outstanding photograph (composition is king) and it captures the essence of the Democratic Party and liberalism for several decades.

"...I guess I'll take my own turn. I wonder if Hillary might not be the nominee if she had run a campaign that accentuated the positive, rather than engaging in the Rovish tactics against Obama?"

??? The Clinton campaign was most noted for not having done much, if anything, at all, because Clinton saw herself as the presumptive nominee (yes, until Super Tuesday, almost everyone on the planet expected her to be the nominee). In other words (but not supporting Shaun's diseased attacks), she was something of the Democratic equivalent of the John McCain campaign (not really offering anything or doing anything to indicate she was offering anything), similar to Bob Dole -- "It's My Turn Now." No, not necessarily. (McCain had even less reason to act that way; he is just pathetic this year.)

And of course there was the business of Michigan and Florida primaries, the MI portion of which was a complete bust, so Hillary's stance on that was completely uncredible.
