I dont think anybody cares. Better than Kerry that phoney scum bag
Erik Posted November 14, 2008 Author Posted November 14, 2008 I dont think anybody cares. Better than Kerry that phoney scum bag Yeah...that's easy for you to say...he isn't going to be representing your state for another six years.
Boomer860 Posted November 14, 2008 Posted November 14, 2008 Yeah...that's easy for you to say...he isn't going to be representing your state for another six years. Well maybe 'The One' will come up with something for him after all Kerry did come out and endorse him
Lakesider Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 I'm with Erik...NYS resident, Hillary "disliker." Interesting that "change" now means a reprise of the Clinton era. Hopefully, soon, it may really mean something different than same old same old.
DC Tom Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, please God, no. No. No. ' Of all the things I disliked about Clinton's administration, I absolutely LOATHE his half-assed excuse for a foreign policy. Hillary as Secretary of State is pretty bloody !@#$ing close to my worst nightmare.

IDBillzFan Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Oh, no, no, no, no, no, please God, no. No. No. ' Of all the things I disliked about Clinton's administration, I absolutely LOATHE his half-assed excuse for a foreign policy. Hillary as Secretary of State is pretty bloody !@#$ing close to my worst nightmare. Biden. Hillary. And if we're lucky...Al Franken.
DC Tom Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Biden. Hillary. And if we're lucky...Al Franken. All as an overreaction to Bush, which was an overreaction to Clinton... It just keeps getting more and more ludicrous. What's 2012's overreaction? The GOP going to nominate Foghorn Leghorn?

erynthered Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Sure it's not boom's head you want to see explode? Weak too late, your answer is as old as John Kerry swift boat threads. Maybe even the retard Ducockus. Wait..
MattyT Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 What's 2012's overreaction? The GOP going to nominate Foghorn Leghorn? Not sure Fred Thompson can get enough support in 2012.
/dev/null Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 too late, your answer is as old as John Kerry swift boat threads. I know a Swiftboat Vet. Well, knew a Swiftboat Vet in 2004. And by Swiftboat Vet I mean a guy who served in Vietnam as an enlisted (drafted ) member of the Brownwater Navy (what they called "Swiftboat Vets" before 2004) He's at a different job now, but I still talk to him every so often. I call him Bluto because he looks like Bluto from Popyeye But anyways, in 2004 he was no fan of Kerry

bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Hillary should stay in the senate this is a major mistake by Barack if he lets her near the white house. Same with Kerry and Daschle neither is a choice for sec of state. I see Richardson as a decent choice

Same with Kerry and Daschle neither is a choice for sec of state. I see Richardson as a decent choice Richardson would be a good choice. Another good choice would be to keep Condi Rice there - she's actually done a pretty good job (particularly since Rumsfeld left Defense and Cheney went in to hiding after shooting a lawyer). Never happen, since even if she did an indisputably brilliant job she's too closely associated with Bush. Likewise Gates at defense.

Never happen, since even if she did an indisputably brilliant job she's too closely associated with Bush. Likewise Gates at defense. Tactically, getting Daschle and Richardson into the Obama admin would be wiser than giving up known-quantity seats in the Senate. Kerry and Clinton would be replaced by people of lesser stature/clout. Then again, for Kerry, who's just starting to enter into the twilight of a long political career might be happy to serve 4 years (or 8) in hands-on govt work (a different animal than being a pontificate in the senate), then kick back a little, and in the meantime, give someone else a chance to establish a brand in Mass. But with Daschle and Richardson, there'd be no abdication of a national seat in order to take a spot in the WW or the cabinet. Agree that Richardson would be a wise Sec of State choice for reasons of experience, knowledge and the respect he'd bring, even if he is a bit of a hokey bumbler. I've heard that Daschle is most likely to head HHS. Are there any whispers on the national security post? Kind of an important one....
KD in CA Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 Biden. Hillary. And if we're lucky...Al Franken. Boy I just can't get enough of this ChangeTM. I wonder how many more "Washington outsiders" Obama is bringing to the party.
Lakesider Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 So, is it fair to say the SecState will be dealing with Arab states, and Muslims in general, for many years to come regarding substantive issues? Do we yet have a clue about the status of women in such states/cultures? Are we, again, going to ignore world cultural reality to satisfy our local political objectives? Why "throw" a woman in the faces of those with little regard for women outside of the home? Do you hire a butcher to wire your house? I'm just sayin'....
