<p>I like Interestedad’s nick names….I have appropriated some of them for my own and use them in my daily conversations….I do so with out attribution and have no plans to give credit to ID…why give him credit when I can have others think I am the creative one….</p>

<p>As to the question of plagiarism…I am not in school nor am I running for public office….so sue me</p>

242

<p>“why give him credit when I can have others think I am the creative one….”</p>

<p>Creative? I’d say that “juvenile” is a far better descriptor of someone who sinks to that level. I would have thought that this kind of name calling dissipated by, oh, 5th grade. But I guess if another juvenile mind finds it “creative” and proudly imitates it, then it’s worthwhile.</p>

243

<p>So it’s alright to lie about a man’s military record and his service to his country (Kerry, McCain, Cleland) but juvenile to give the opposition humorous nick names….</p>

244

<p>Alas, a failed foreign policy, a failed domestic housing-economic policy, a failed war, and a failed microphone. The fall of the Republic of the United States of America.</p>

245

<p>I do not understand the humor in calling someone “The Mormon”.</p>

246

<p>Better than being called the cross-dresser!</p>

<p>BTW, which one is the cross-dresser? And what’s the story? I am ashamed that I am not as up to date on the Rep candidates as I could be.</p>

247

<p>I don’t know who the cross dresser is either.
I don’t know who lied about military service either. I better start paying more attention…::rolleyes:</p>

248

<p>Guliani is the cross-dresser. He’s really funny! See video below.</p>

<p>I would love to lock in a long-term wager with a Republican, dependent on Hillary and Rudy getting their respective nominations, about CT, PA, and NJ in the general election. I’d wind up owning their house, their car, and their ass. I’d use their ass as a footstool.</p>

<p>I’m on a mostly conservative listserv where I may be able to bait someone into such a wager, or something similar, after the nominations were set. Though the last time I did so, the loser didn’t want to pay up and it took pressure from his fellow Republicans in response to my jeering about his integrity as well as his political acumen to finally produce the check.</p>

<p>If I were cruel, I would have directed that it be made out to the DNC.</p>

<p>

Ah, the sheer poetry of it all…As always, another insightful comment, taking care to offend as many people as possible.</p>

<p>

Words of wisdom from fundingfather.</p>

251

<p>So, calling someone “the Mormon” is humorous? I suppose in 1960 it would be just a humorous nickname to call JFK “the Catholic” or in 2000 to call Joe Lieberman “the Jew”. How about in 1988/2008 if they called Geraldine Ferraro/Hillary Clinton “the broad”. Real humorous indeed.</p>

<p>Not only does this smack of juvenile behavior but it reeks of hypocrisy.</p>

252

<p>

</p>

<p>Sure I have, but…as Howard Wolfson says everyday in a one sentence statement to the press: “Democrats don’t want a candidate who can make the angriest attacks against Democrats, they want a candidate who has the strength and experience to change Washington from day one.”</p>

<p>Having said that, my favorite nickname on the Democratic side is “Breck Girl”.</p>

253

<p>“The Mormon” is what Republicans call Romney in the their core base, say in the South Carolina primary. I’m sure you are aware that the evangelical political leaders, like Hobson, have been busy publishing the message to their base that Mormonism is a cult. Go to the Southern Baptist Convention website and do a search for Mormon.</p>

<p>The nicknames are intended to get at the core, fundmental Achilles Heel of each candidate from a Republican primary perspective.</p>

254

<p>“Democrats don’t want a candidate who can make the angriest attacks against Democrats, they want a candidate who has the strength and experience to change Washington from day one.”</p>

<p>And who might that be? The one who is in the habit of not reading National Intelligence Estimates before voting for war? Or the experienced ones who got so bamboozled by the lies of a Democratic Administration that they called for war with Iraq four years before the current dodo?</p>

255

<p>I assume that you mean “Dobson”? </p>

<p>So you are now assuming the same bad behavior of a few polarizers on the right? Interesting.</p>

256

<p>

</p>

<p>Why…Dennis Kucinich, of course! He knows how to get things done from day one in Washington.</p>

257

<p>Since fundingfather seems interested in the middle atlantic states polling, he’d surely want to see the new Rasmussen Virginia polling released today:</p>

<p>Clinton: 44%
Giuliani: 41%</p>

<p>Clinton: 46%
Thompson: 44%</p>

<p>Clinton: 44%
Romney: 40%</p>

<p>The Virginia numbers are interesting. They apparently show no gender gap in the Clinton/Giuliani race but a huge gender gap when Clinton is matchup up against Grandpa Fred.</p>

<p>And, my favorite, because it’s indicative of the fondness for the Mormon in his home state:</p>

<p>Clinton: 60%
Romney: 34%</p>

<p>Obama: 54%
Romney: 36%</p>

<p>Edwards: 54%
Romney: 33%</p>

<p>Clinton: 58%
Giuliani: 33%</p>

258

<p>OK all of you pious conservatives…tell me was it ok for the Bush campaign to lie about Kerry’s war record?</p>

<p>Was it ok for the Bush Campaign to lie about McCain’s suffering as a prisoner of war</p>

<p>Was it Ok for the Republicans to lie about Sen. Cleland’s war record?</p>

<p>Don’t start down the hypocrisy road, unless you want to explain the history and tactics of the post war conservative movement/Republican Party starting with Nixon vs. Douglas in ’48. </p>

<p>History is fill with many honorable conservatives, the shame is that the American conservative movement’s has been is so poorly served by the leadership that came to power with Richard Nixon after the 1964 Goldwater loss.</p>

<p>Answer the 3 questions in this post, and then tell me about hypocrisy.</p>

259

<p>'Why…Dennis Kucinich, of course! He knows how to get things done from day one in Washington."</p>

<p>At least he has the EXPERIENCE to know to read before throwing away American lives and invading a country that was never a threat to our security. </p>

<p>More than I can see for some people… (granted, some of them probably haven’t done much with the reading skill in a long time…)</p>
