Just as a change of pace:

Whatever Obama does is wrong.

Whatever Clinton does is right.

Because it is important to keep the universe in balance and if that causes some discomfort to those who had gotten used to the old rules, well, small price to pay for cosmic stability.

Scene: Mike Irwin and his brother are sitting in the back of their parent’s SUV. Mike hits his brother. His brother hits him back

Mike: MOMMEEE!!! He just hit me!!!! WAAAAHHHHH!!!!

So, according to Paul, Bill went on Limbaugh’s national show because Obama ran a local ad?

But thanks for showing your true stripes and bringing the argument down to the playground level.

BTW - My brother died of a heart attack at age 47 in July- thanks for making it personal. What’s next? Momma jokes?

Mike: unfortunately, Paul’s reply is par for the course here (that is, if you’re not a Clinton True Believer). They’re Very Serious People, don’t you know?

Is that I’m a Hillary supporter and voter. I just don’t believe in smearing another Democrat unless they do something truly heinous. Otherwise stick to the real issues. And if one is evil for a paticular act-then the other is also, otherwise it’s all nonsense.

I completely agree with you, Mike. That is the tone and character of the discussion we Democrats should be having with one another. Let’s keep each other honest, sure, but also recognize that we are fighting for a (mostly) shared worldview.

Don’t think for a moment you’re being ignored. Unfortunately, or fortunately, I have real life demands that have prevented me from cleaning up some oddments here. Alas.

Re: The masterful martyred tone of “crickets,” however. Why should anyone else do your work for you, when you are so obviously able to attempt to do it yourselves? (And I do note that there are no hordes of ________ ers descending on you to run you off the site, as would be the case at Big Orange, for example, were the situation to be reversed. The difference between us, I suppose. Nighty night! And tell Axelrod to send markg8 back, wouldja? He’s better than you.)

is David Alexrod. He ran Harold Washington’s campaigns and Patrick’s run for Massachusetts governor. To learn more about him. Read a NYT article from April 2007. Google “NYT David Alexrod Obama’s Hatchet Man”

It is chilling to read. Well from my point of view anyway. You, of course, are free to make up your mind.

Just wanted to know who my “handler” is. Heaven forbid that I just be some guy with a differing opinion. Didn’t know this place was a hotbed of ludicrous paranoia. I even use my real name as my screen name, LOL. I can be googled (Oh- I am not Mike Irwin the scientist).

I’m too busy savoring Hillary’s winning TX and OH to deal with trolls right now, and in RL I’m still pretty busy. Maybe I’ll clean up this thread tomorrow. Nighty night.

To savor implies that winning TX and OH was a surprise. I wasn’t. I’m also not surprised about the Nov election. Someday people will wake up to the total privatization of our elections.

Fair enough. Sounds like a DK policy to me.
