erynthered Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Eryn my friend, I never went bad on the bet. Had the Grouper at Frenchys and invited both you and paul. You both failed to show. However I'll be down there again in February and we can have a grouper or two and toast our late friend. Maybe your Florida Republican friend Tom Foley might want to come too. I'd email him and ask but I understand that email communications with him might get a bit wierd. 794937[/snapback] I was never asked or PM'd to do that. You told me you were staying at the Sheraton, I said " Here's my number give me a call, I'd show up". You never called. You lie better than Clinton. Maybe that mini-stroke you had is effecting your brain. As far as Foley goes, he is neither my friend nor rep. He should rot in jail... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should rot in jail... 794952[/snapback] Turned out not to be a mini-stroke (actually they said it was a "silent heart attack") I was being seen for something else and was examined by a guy who is considered the best heart guy in the Tri-States area. He said there was no heart attack and that the previous guy had misread a test. Still have the partial blindness, but I'm running a 5k in less than 30 minutes (about 11 minutes more than I did a few years ago, but what the f...I'm old and fat now.) Seriously I'll treat at Frenchy's in Feb and we'll get the time set as soon as I make reservations. I'll be the guy with the Senator Harold Ford Jr. T-Shirt on.

stuckincincy Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm NOT defending the Dems (at least the southern Dems) support (or more accurately, lack thereof) of civil rights - it was poor. You're telling me that 198 Democratic lawmakers voted FOR the act because they saw their Republican bretheren support it and "smelled the coffee"? Fat chance. If the Republicans were that damn persuasive why did 40 Republican lawmakers vote AGAINST the Act? What I AM pointing out is that your contention that Dems, as a whole, voted against the Act is false - that's simply not supported by the facts. 94% of northern Dem representitives voted FOR the act, as did 98% of northern Dem senators. Your initial premise, that the southern Dems who voted against the Act did so with the approval of ALL Dems is wrong. Your premise that all Dems cast ethics aside and didn't have the cojones to defy that block is also flat out wrong. The reality is that almost ALL congressmen (and 100% of Republicans) voted against the Act demonstrating that that was the political reality of the time. It also shows that arcane parlimentary rules on cloture allow a small minority of lawmakers to filibuster legislation that has broad support - that's what we saw with the filibuster by the Dixiecrats. You're not a big fan of the Democrats - we get it. All I'm saying is that if you're going to bash them you need to find a better reason than to say that the southern Democrats in 1964 had a poor civil rights record so the WHOLE PARTY had (or still has today) a poor record on civil rights - that's just not supported by the facts. 794378[/snapback] You had to type a whole lot more words than I did, and you used boldface and capitals to boot.

Buftex Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Yup, you all lost. But now you have a chance. What are you going to do with it? Piss and moan like you usualy do? Or step up to the plate with something new. My guess, is still piss and moan, you're good at it. But, good luck anyway. I mean that, I really do!! 794939[/snapback] "piss and moan" liberals, "nothing to offer" have become the "halliburton" and "mission accomplished" "hot pockets" for you rugged individulists lemmings, I have noticed. Don't pretend that any either of the main stream political parties are superior to the other, it is a sure way to lose an argument... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyemike Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I am not a Hillary fan. Far from it. In fact, after her election in 2000, I swore I would never set foot in New York State as long as she was a Senator. I broke that in 2004, because I realized having Hillary in the Senate is probably a hell of a lot better than having her in private business. She has to master the art of compromise in the Senate, and Hillary went to the bottom of the seniority scale, due to Senate tradition. That said, just remember that she's got a decent chance of becoming our next President. Even though I'm not a fan, I must speak respectfully of someone who could be the leader of the free world in less than two and a half years.

I'm not backing anybody right now, at least not until I get my !@#$ing Grouper sammmmich. BTW, its not like you to back someone so early, for Pres.

tennesseeboy Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Happy to...although I think we're getting to the point where transfer to the nazi board would be a good idea. Since I'm "banned" there I won't be able to respond of course. warner The guy is a self made success (NEXTEL) and did a marvelous job in Virginia. He helped found Appalachian School of Law, where I teach and has a great record as governor. I don't think he was ever convicted of drunk driving like our incumbent, hasn't sent pornographic emails to minors and hasn't gotten us into an unnecessary war that increases the threat of terrorism. Given that the bar is presently so low, the fact that he would be an improvement isn't all that surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
