I said that because when I hit reply to your original title and it added "RE:" the quick reply rejected the post due to the thread title being too long. It's a common problem when people start threads with really long titles. My only option for replying to your thread was to hit the "go advanced" button and shorten the title.

My "dumb long titles" comment wasn't directed at content in any way, only at long titles borking the board.

I saw an interview with a guy from Veterans for Against the War who was giving the reporter their "3 points of common interest." The first two points were reasonable enough (end the war, bring the troops home, and whatnot), but the third point was "pay reparations to the Iraqis for all the damage we've done both emotional and physical."

That was pretty much the most bat-*** crazy thing I've heard in awhile. I think the blood we've spent to liberate those people, the billions of dollars we've already spent on reconstruction, and the financial commitments we will be fulfilling for years to come is not only more than the Iraqis deserve but all the "reparations" we ought to be paying.

Thank you for your suggestion. We value your opinion. Your suggestion is being forwarded to the secretary of the SF.com Tailgate Drawing Board for consideration of its inclusion on the agenda at their next quarterly meeting. Ordinarily, once placed on the agenda, and after discussion in open session by the Board, proposed rules changes are referred to the Rules subcommittee for study. After the subcommittee publishes its report on the merits of the particular suggestion, the Drawing Board will make a decision. We will of course inform you in writing of that decision and your right to appeal. Thanks again for your interest in the The SF.com Tailgate Drawing Project.

Ah look, another thread that will likely end up locked before the end of the day :D

Democratic Conventions throughout history:

1992 Democratic National Convention
http://www.americanrhetoric.com/images/elizabethglaser1992convention.JPG
The quote:

Exactly four years ago my daughter died of AIDS. She did not survive the Reagan Administration. I am here because my son and I may not survive four more years of leaders who say they care, but do nothing.
The result: Bill Clinton over George HW Bush

1996 DNC: Hillary Clinton
http://media3.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/photo/2007/06/07/PH2007060702044.jpg
The quote:

For Bill and me, there has been no experience more challenging, more rewarding, and more humbling than raising our daughter... And we have learned that to raise a happy, healthy and hopeful child, it takes a family, it takes teachers, it takes clergy, it takes business people, it takes community leaders, it takes those who protect our health and safety, it takes all of us.

Yes, it takes a village. And it takes a president... It takes Bill Clinton.
The Result: Clinton over Bob Dole

2000 DNC:
http://www.moonbattery.com/al-gore-tipper-smooch.jpg
The quote:

We're entering a new time, we're electing a new president, and I stand here tonight as my own man. I want you to know me for who I truly am.
The result: George W. Bush (barely!) over Al Gore

2004 DNC:
http://zioneocon.blogspot.com/KERRY%20REPORTING%20FOR%20DUTY.jpg
The quote:

I'm John Kerry, and I'm reporting for duty!

The Result: Bush over John F. Kerry.

I find that the losing DNC's rely more on gimmickiness and photo ops (like the two I showed here) than the previous, winning ones. I hope they take the hint.

more whining from the usual suspects (if it's possible) is about what to expect.

straight talk express is pure. no flip flops (even though there are many). Patriotism: dimz; pure ideology and class warfare and socialism. all kinds of flip flops (moral turpitude). no Patriotism. Anti-americanism.

we should abolish civil society and make this a military state, that's what i get from this board over the last few weeks. only the second amendment, hoo hoo!

Why on earth should EVERYONE vote just for teh sake of voting? Why encourage people to vote who have no interest in politics, no knowledge of the candidates or issues, and no clue how the government works?

I mean why have we convinced ourselves that it's some sort of civic-virtue to walk into a voting booth completely uninformed and damned near illiterate?

I think if you're a well informed citizen, you know the issues/candidates, and you have a rudimentary understanding of how government works then you have an obligation to vote. If none of that applies to you then stay home. I have a lot more respect for someone who says they aren't informed well enough to vote and therefore do not then someone who admits they aren't well informed but they go ahead and vote anyway.

She's going to have to distance herself from her comments about McCain being a better than Obama & bashing does that.

Besides, Obama needs sound bytes since both Hillary & Biden dissed him hard.

That was an excellent speech. If she'd have given a speech this powerful 12 months ago, she might be the one speaking on Thursday.

Basically called out all of her supporters who were thinking of voting for McCain as a protest, which is what needed to be said.

SoonerBorn68
8/26/2008, 10:34 PM
I think she crossed her fingers behind her back. The speech I saw focused on her contributions only making passing mention to be a loyal Democrat & vote for Obama because he's the nominee. She never once mentioned she thought he'd be a good president or that he was a good person--just policy stuff.

Hillary thoughts:

1- She needed to do this to have any hope of taking a second try at presidency, because Lord knows she won't get nominated for any other party's ticket then the Dem's.

2- She didn't say enough to get Obama elected, but rather, enough to criticize McCain so that if McCain is elected, she will be able to run against him in 4 years, having fired the first shots last night.

3- Obama still needs to earn Hillary's supporters; Hillary cannot simply hand votes over to him without Obama asking for them, and Hillary cannot convince people to vote for Obama simply by saying "You supported me, so support him, because we're both against McCain."

4- That tangerine pantsuit will not easily be forgotten. NP thought it was a good color for her - I thought it was more of a color to stand out than anything else.

Hillary needs Barack to lose. Eight years is far too long to wait for another presidential run - she's not going to have the same support then. McCain also needs Barack to lose, so, if anything, it brings to light why extreme leftists like Barack and extreme rightists like Tom Coburn work so well together - same ends, but different means :D

I was sooo hoping he'd make a joke about his still being the first black president, but no dice.

At any rate, after bragging on HRC and how "his" candidate lost, WJC was all about recounting the wonderful and glorious Clinton years and how BHO can return the USA to full Clintonian Era glory. Honestly, it was 15 minutes of how WJC established all the benchmarks and how we must elect BHO to return to those happy daze.

The bumpersticker moment was, referring to his adminstration, American foreign policy was about the power of our example, not the example of our power. The delegates and assembled moonbattery on the floor swooned at that turn of phrase.

I guess he figured most people have forgotten he unleashed USAFE and half the carrier air wings in the Navy to bomb the crapola out of the Serbs 24/7 for several weeks in order to break-up their mud-wrestling with the Bosnians. He then ordered the 2d Armored Division and 4th ID from Germany to roll down there and knock heads together like Moe did to Larry and Curly. And, for the record, we still have boots, armor and artillery on the ground in the Balkans.

Wasn't the 2nd Armored Division deactivated well before the Balkans? I only know this because I'm a WWII buff and the 2nd Armored is my favorite of WWII divisions.

At any rate, aside from his abysmal handling of the military, what do we have to really complain about with the Clinton years? The economy was good, he signed 90% of the GOP's Contract with America into law (including welfare reform), and he didn't expand the size of the government as much as even W. Bush has. All and all, we could have done much worse with a Democrat President than WJC.

See, a lot of people say that but it's really totally illogical and frankly bad for the Republic.

Why on earth should EVERYONE vote just for teh sake of voting? Why encourage people to vote who have no interest in politics, no knowledge of the candidates or issues, and no clue how the government works?

I mean why have we convinced ourselves that it's some sort of civic-virtue to walk into a voting booth completely uninformed and damned near illiterate?

I think if you're a well informed citizen, you know the issues/candidates, and you have a rudimentary understanding of how government works then you have an obligation to vote. If none of that applies to you then stay home. I have a lot more respect for someone who says they aren't informed well enough to vote and therefore do not then someone who admits they aren't well informed but they go ahead and vote anyway.

bravo. seriously.

Well, you can attribute the tech bubble crash of 2001 to Clinton, if you're not smart enough to realize that presidents have very little to do with downturns and upswings to the macroeconomy.

WJC had a ton of resources dropped in his lap due to the "peace dividend" arising when the USSR collapsed. He slept on national security. No, he was in a coma on national security.

IMHO, presidents, like the rest of us, are generally just along for the ride on market forces that shape and define economic conditions. Thus, presidents shouldn't be blamed when the economy is down, and really shouldn't get the credit when its up.

Finally, his personal shenanigans made him virtually incapable of accomplishing anything for about two years thus squandering much of his second term.

I don't buy the nonsense that the President has NO effect whatsoever on the economy and deserves no credit or blame when things don't go well. I thin it's something like a ship...the general course can't be changed easily but you can certainly do things to "rock the boat." Clinton managed the economy without rocking the boat too much.

For what it's worth, I don't blame most of the current economic troubles on Bush. Forces well beyond his control and well beyond what Clinton had to deal with were at work.

Having said all of that, Bush should have used a GOP Congress to make giant cuts in the Federal budget, use the surplus to pay down the deficit, and introduce a bit of fiscal responsibility.
