2008 Hopefuls

Somewhat insulting, don't you think? Edwards tried to divide America with his "Two America's" speeches and now I see you are beginning to set the 2008 agenda for the left.

"Good old boys" are germane to the entire nation. Look where most of the survivalist groups and the Aryan movements are located. They're not down South, they're in the West.

There are KKK contingents in every state in the Union with a good sized one in Vermont.

California has a huge white supremacist group and a huge remnant of the old George Wallace American Independent Party (NKA American Party).

Minnesota has groups of para-military units all over the state and the Dakota's have a good-sized anti-Native American group.

No, "good old boys" don't just reside and vote in the South!

 

Now you took three words and twisted them to mean something entirely different! I NEVER intended to have my remarks understood in such a manner that meant people in the south are bigots! I do think in general they are ultra-conservative and are not very tolerant of people whose views differ from theirs on subjects like religion. I recognize the difference of the new south compared to the old south! Unfortunately it does not look like you do the same. Then again perhaps you may need to do some soul searching! Could it be the reason, you attacked that phrase and bent it into something I wasn't saying due to some deep inner feelings you are trying very hard to overcompensate for?

If I speak for the left both the left and the right are in trouble! It's a shame the the republicans have degressed so much that I am now considered left of center(I use to like being in the middle)!

 

Your reply certainly authenticates your given location, "Outer Space."

 

Ah, an alien partnership develops.

Hi Steve,

I always enjoy your posts and I am sure you know I like to engage in frivolity from time to time.

Actually, Rivers post was offensive to me. I grew up in the South. There are literally millions of good people in the South.

I have lived in a number of states outside the South and have come across those some would label "rednecks, bigots, good ole' boys, etc," in each of these states.

Narrow-minded, arch conservatives can be found everywhere, not just in the South and, not all Republicans in the South are neo-cons.

Take care.

 

I apologize.. I should have restrained from making that comment. I now realize that I should refrain from the Karl Rove approach. I must say, I was quite insulted that anyone may misconstrue my previous post to mean that I was saying everyone down south were bigots. Of course that does not excuse my actions. Again I apologize, I in no way set out to insult anyone!

 

Now I looked up the term good old boy, thinking I may have misunderstood the word. after reading it's defination it was exaclty the word I was looking to use in the context I used it in!

Narrow minded conservative can be found in many places. Just here in outer space we have to import them
.

 

Ah, trying to interpret meanings via the Internet is fun, isn't it. I see I misunderstood SteveFoerster's post. I thought he was saying my response was "uncivil."

Hey, when things get a little rough down here, how about importing me?

Take care and thanks for a lively, although easy-to-misinterpret discussion.

 

Gary Coleman for President!

I think we should put Gary Coleman in the White House....LOL

At least he would be honest.


Seriously,

Joe Biden is respectable.

Jeb.

Alas! Jeb.

 

Re: Gary Coleman for President!

Are you kidding? Do you know why he had to pull out of the 1988 race for the Democratic nomination?

 

I like Governor Bush. American wouldn't want a dynasty and I don't think I do either. Besides, the Governor has not handled his state's social services fiasco very well. It continues to be a major debacle with children missing, children repeatedly abused, etc. He has failed in this area.

 

Jethro is pretty much of a joke. Arnold has a better chance (and he can't even run).

Repubs:

1. McCain
2. Rice
3. Romney
4. Lieberman (he is a Democrat in name only). Lieberman is a smart guy but he has no chance of winning a national election - no one wants a whiny nasely guy as the President.

Demos

1. Clinton
2. Biden
3. Clarke

At this point, I would vote for ANYONE other than a Bush. I wish the Libertarians would put up a good third party candidate. I also wish that Ralph Nader would put his ego aside and know he will never be elected to anything.

What ever happened to Ross Perot? Damn - I liked him. The first Presidential candidate with the firm grasp of economics.

 

Well how about that! I voted for Perot in 1992 but not 1996. I voted Libertarian that year.

Looks like we can find some areas of agreement, huh?

While I am for Mitt Romney at this point, don't count out Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel.

 

I made some NYCLP meetings while they were going giggly over Stern. Not a pretty sight.

 

After Arnold's win in California it would not surprise me to see a "celebrity" run in 2008. A couple of celebs have joked about it in the past including Warren Beatty.

In the bicycle racing media there is talk of Lance Armstrong running for political office.
