Worthless Speculation Thread

[LoungeMachine]

Obama / Clinton ?

or Clinton / Obama?

or is Shrillary thinking Gov. Richards to shore up the Latino vote, and balance the ticket north/south.


In spite of winning multiple states tonight, isn't Huckleberry just runing pass blocking for McCain in hopes of a VEEP nod?


Why does the far-reich have such a hard-on against McCain, anyway?

And why does Mittens keep bringing up "The Houise That Reagan Built" when it was built upon raising the taxes of the middle class 14 times, offering amnesty to illegals, and wracking up record deficits?



Any specualtion on your part would be greatly appreciated.

'cause I can't make fuck-all sense out of most of it anymore.

I think your thread title contains one word too many!

Worthless Thread.



I speculated that might be the case.

Bill Maher made a similar comment on his show last week, something to the effect of "Why do these idiots keep invoking Reagan's name?
Has anybody broken it to them that REAGAN WAS NOT REAGAN-ESQUE?!?"

He then went on to mention all the points you just did as well as "And yes, people - when it came to Lebanon -HE CUT AND RAN."

Even though Ronald Reagan Jr. has frequently commented on TV and radio that NONE of these neocon jackasses are anything like his dad, and you have former Reagan staff members like Paul Craig Roberts running anti war blogs, these fools continue to dry hump Reagan's rotting corpse.

I wouldn't be surprised if they tried to run him as a candidate......

The winner of "Super Tuesday"??

Absolutely fucking nobody!!

When you really look at the situation though, Obama did win.

Though the delegate numbers will work out to pretty much a statistical dead heat, Obama did win more states, and the fact that he did so in a system that was set up to guarantee a Hillary coronation in the first place, that in and of itself is impressive. Though it won't be part of the media coverage, naturally.

Oh, gawd...


I was talking to a kid the other day-about 22 I think, he was bitching about Bush for some reason and I asked him, "Did you vote in the last election? Were you old enough?" He said "No, I didn't vote- didn't like either one."

I said, "Well? What about this election? Who are you for?"

kid: "I dunno- Who's running? I haven't been paying attention."

me: You heard of Obama, right? What's wrong with him?"


kid: "NO FUCKIN' WAY!! LOOK AT HIM!! He doesn't even look like he's from this country!!"





We're doomed.




Welcome to America.

LMMFAO!!

Not too mention that Reagan pursued Détente with the Soviet Union after his early rhetoric contributed to Soviet paranoia which very nearly contributed to nuclear war:

I saw a program, on a Discovery Channel spin off, on the Soviet fears and paranoia of what they thought was planning for a NATO/US nuclear first strike in 1983, which culminated in fears that a NATO communications war game called "Able Archer" was the cover for a first strike. In fact, the Soviet intelligence and the upper echelons of the Politburo had successfully deluded themselves into believing that nuclear Armageddon was close at hand by ignoring all positive information regarding the West and pressuring agents into reporting misleading information, the arrival of Pershing II missiles to Europe, and talk of SDI (or "Star Wars"). They took the US president's rhetoric to heart and thought that Reagan was far more malevolent than he actually was (Ronnie was reportedly actually quite upset after viewing an ABC movie called "The Day After," which supposedly caused him to more actively seek better relations and disarmament with the "Evil Empire" in his second term). This came close to being a self-fulfilling prophecy as the entire Soviet war-machine was put on high alert and missiles were ready to launch as Able Archer's crescendo was a simulated nuclear counter-strike that was "ordered" right before the exercise ended. The Russians thought these phony "exercise" orders were merely a cover for an elaborate plan to win a nuclear exchange. The Soviets Strategic Rocket Forces were on high alert and some wanted ICBMs launched even even before US launches could have been detected by their satellites. Thank God they didn't.

I never knew how close we came...

Welcome to America.

Disturbing indeed.

I think it says a lot about America in 2008 that the Democratic nomination is now between a black man and a woman...
But sometimes you wonder if it's a "so close and yet not" scenario....

And I remember "The Day After" movie quite well. Let's just say if you DO survive a nuclear attack, and are not underground, or evacuated immediately,
you are exposed to levels of radiation that are going to kill you slowly, painfully, and quite unpleasantly...
Spelled that out in pretty graphic detail for the time, too...

Yeah, that's why Obama went from being ahead to being behind.

And I hope you other twits realize that Reagan's saber rattling broke the Soviets' back - just like he set out to. He was a great president...but there is no relation to the current cocksmokers. These fuckers are an insult to Reagan.

So many holes, so little time.

If you think Ronnie was great, your expectations must
be pretty fuckin' low.

If ya overlook that pesky Iran-Contra thingy.....

and giving his CIA Director a lobotomy so he couldn't testify......

and taxing the middle class while busting unions.......

Yeah, he was just a swell guy.

Allow me to dumb it down for you...

Obama won, because according to Terry McCullough , former DNC chair and now Shrillary's mouthpiece, Obama was going to be OUT OF THE RACE come Super Tuesday. That team Clinton would have the nomination sewn up.

The fact she has not done anything CLOSE to sewing up the nomination, and probably wont until the Super delegates at the convention [if then] is quite the WIN for Obama, and the LOSS for team Shrillary.

She still has plenty of time to lose this thing.
