On this, it was the right thing to do. This guy was a repeat offending, drug smuggler who was running away from the scene of the crime he was committing.
As far as I'm concerned, front or back, shot the motherfuckers.
Can a gay, progressive say that?!
Hmmm.
]]>LOL!
]]>The Senate will seat Franken even if there are still disputes.
]]>I agree completely. Sometimes it's hard to keep the faith though when we (progressives) have been lied too, ignored and disappointed for far too long.
But, I'm giving it my best 'wait and see' attitude.
]]>Really?
]]>;-)
]]>Big news...
]]>lol
]]>Such good news.
]]>And, had she just accepted it, without fanfare or drama or publicly negotiating it, I would have cheered.
But she/they couldn't help themselves.
Personally, I don't see why she'd really want it.
She's go a good 15 - 20 yrs of a great Senate career ahead of her, possibly becoming the next Ted Kennedy of the Senate.
This gig wouldn't last long, whether it be by Obama's choice, her or some scandal Bill will undoubtedly cause.
]]>I have no doubt that Obama walked into the meeting and basically said he wants her for SOS & here's what he needs from her & Bill in order for it to work. A, b, c, & d.
No games, no fuss. And it was probably NOT a negotiation.
All she need to do was talk to Bill when he gets back from the Mideast on Sunday, see if they could do what was needed and give her answer Monday.
But... between the offer and now, the Clinton's went into high gear, negotiating what they would & wouldn't give and the offer became all about Hillary and how this would affect them.
This offer should have been either accepted of rejected by Monday.
]]>It always has been.
Anyone who looks at their history honestly can see that it doesn't matter if it would hurt her chances becuase they don't think their actions ever hurt their chances.
They don't think that what they do or say could ever possibly be a hindrance to themselves.
They're always playing a game.
They're always trying to works the refs, work the media, work the system and work the powers that have something they want.
]]>Asked to served, accepted and all without drama?
The Clinton's are like Pig Pen walking around with the tornado of dirt following him around, only they have drama swirling around them
]]>Over that of the WaPo.
Based upon what, Greg?
Because you prefer the version where it's Obama's people boxing in HRC rather than the other way around?
Why is THAT more plausible to you, knowing the Clinton's history?
I'd believe the NY times take ANY day of the week over the WaPo's.
That's the takeaway.
How so?
]]>It's all gossip and second guessing.
And, if there is any substantial proof to prove otherwise (links to articles proving, not guessing/gossiping about it, would help).
