Hi Phoenix Woman!

shit, he’s hot

hey – who photo-shopped Mitt’s head onto my body?

Hey PW! One big difference between Redubyacan zillinaire Forbes and Redubyacan zillionaire Romney. One looks like a dweeb and one looks like a Stepford resident. (And since I pretty much can be considered to look like a dweeb, I can say this.)

So, when will Maureen Dowd start sharpening her claws on Pretty Boy Romney?

SUCH a good question.
My guess is, when she tells what SHE spends on that sultry red ‘do of hers.

PW I can’t see the pic again, I am using IE7. anyone else have a problem?

Mitt’s first name is Willard. You know…like the RAT!

“sensational good looks”. One of my 84 year old mothers more famous quote is that “if women are going to vote for a president because he is good looking then they do not deserve the vote”.

MoDon’t saves her best bitchy venom for Democrats who aren’t “masculine” enough to be president.
Yet she writes books about women not needing men.

The lady has serious issues.

Romney is safe from MoDon’t-he’s just right for the Daddy Party. His money isn’t an issue-Republicans are supposed to be rich and the richer they are, the more studly they are. He’s MODont’s ideal candidate.

When ya got his money, you can look like anything or anyone you want. I mean, who’s going to tell him, other than MAYBE his wife.

Super idea, I think the men should sacrifice their vote first and their right to say no to sex, drive motorcycles, sports cars or run companies as well. Just to make sure we start off on even ground.

Ditto, except I’d say the fascism’s further along the path than fledgling.

Romney is a lightweight so despite the anticipated media blackout on all of the bullshit that Romney fed the people of Massachusetts when he ran for governor (when contrasted will all of the bullshit that he’s shoveling now), he’s gonna get smoked by competent opposition. This may mean he’s the GOP offering, but the D contenders will take his lunch money. He’s an empty suit and from what I gathered as I watched him in MA (and today) unafraid to embrace hard core wingnuttery and a bit naive in a “Woody from Cheers” sort of way.

I think Mitt looks exactly like the well-dressed shoe salesman who tries to convince you that you can wear a size 6 when you really need a 7. Just me, I guess.

Ahh, the great white hopes that the Repubs dangle before us.

From Wiki, “Great White Hope, sometimes plain great white hope, (originally referred) to …
James J. Jeffries (1875-1953), a white boxer who came out of retirement in 1910 in an attempt to dislodge the first black world boxing heavyweight champion, Jack Johnson.

Saturday’s CBS Evening News is running Fred Thompson as the next last great white hope of the Republican Party.

And the Dems could have a counter to this Republican Tenneseean: Al Gore, Senator from the same state.

Both Gore and Thompson have been showing their video capacities recently, Gore in his movie Inconvenient Truth and Thompson as the solonish DA in Law and Order.

Strange world.

At least Joan Vennochi(sp?), Scott Lehigh and Brian McGrory (among others) from the Globe have called him on his flip-floppery. I know they all hedge toward the middle when they run for President, but Romney’s quotes as he ran for MA governor alone would crush him if they saw the light of day in the MSM.

Doesn’t Quayle seem less dumb and unqualified afer all these years of having George W. Bush in office?

The interesting question is whether Romney will self fund his campaign at crucial moments in a way similar to John Kerry leading up to the Iowa caucuses…GOP rank and file say he’s a people-powered candidate but i dont see these ind donations sustaining at a rate anywhere comparable to Barack Obama’s.

[Mod Note; changing your email address may help future comments avoid the moderation filters.]

I would like someone in MSM to stop repeating the bull about women voting for looks. Did it start with Kennedy? If so, didn’t he lose the popular vote?
And if you were to be serious and do a real study, I think it would show that men are more concerned with physical appearance than women are. We look for other qualities.

You caught me just as I was leaving …

Try The American River Parkway, I’m not exactly sure where your Motel is but it’s probably the one near Folsom and Sunrise, and if it is, go up Sunrise (North) for I don’t know – three, four miles till you get to the American River and there’s parking on one of the two sides of Sunrise (maybe, both). Should be signs there.

Hope that helps a little, I usually don’t come from that way – I’m a Northsider I guess ;-)

I don’t give a rat’s behind about who the GOP is going to run, whether it’s the Mitt or Rudy the G or whatever. I am concerned, very much so, about my party’s candidate.

Edwards is now my choice.

hey john in sacramento — i’m going to be in sacramento – rancho cordova at the sacramento marriott rancho cordova for 10 days for classes in july. is there a place nearby you can recommend for swimming, taking walks? i might have time early morning, lunchtime or evening.
thanks

You caught me just as I was leaving …

Try The American River Parkway, I’m not exactly sure where your Motel is but it’s probably the one near Folsom and Sunrise, and if it is, go up Sunrise (North) for I don’t know – three, four miles till you get to the American River and there’s parking on one of the two sides of Sunrise (maybe, both). Should be signs there.

Hope that helps a little, I usually don’t come from that way – I’m a Northsider I guess ;-)

Gotta run

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

What is it with the GOP and bland pretty-boys? Remember – Dan Quayle was going to lock up the female vote (because, I hear, all you ladies do is vote for the better looking candidates anyway).

That would be the repub ladies. WE have better sense.

I agree on Edwards, I think he’s grown a lot as a person and a politician. He’s not allergic to the truth like so many of the supposed presidential timber are. It seems that Edwards has been keeping a low profile though. He’s clearly not getting the attention of Hillary or Obama but shouldn’t he be more “out there”?

Well, I have always wondered (and smarter folks than me can answer this) how much money you need at this point. He raised $14mm 1st quarter, which would be really good except for Hillary & Obamaraising in the $25mm range. What does that extra $$ buy? How much can you spend on your organization, which is the early-stages critical factor? How much money will it take for Hillary to make people forget what they already think about her?

I think Obama’s the wild card, but I don’t see Hillary getting the nomination. I think the polls have more to do with name recognition right now than anything else.

PAPER BALLOTS

The internets never forget:

Political adviser says Romney faked abortion support Asserts Romney not ‘pro-choice’.

Governor Mitt Romney’s top political strategist has told a prominent conservative magazine that his client has been ”faking” his support of abortion rights in Massachusetts. ‘He’s been a pro-life Mormon faking it as a pro-choice friendly,” Romney adviser Michael Murphy told the National Review.

He had ~ $10mm left over, which some thought might have been well-spent in Ohio…

Perhaps the cash would have been well spent situating more than one or two of those damned electronic voting machines at certain “selected” inner city locales?

Going to rest a while. See y’all at Late Night.

AZ has statewide clean elections which was passed as a ballot measure. I know there are flaws but it levels the playing field and allows candidates who would not run due to money now to join in.

The local DFA group will NOT endorse a local candidate if they are NOT running clean. It reflects badly on a candidate who is NOT running clean….. like who owns their ass?

Next to Gore, he’s my guy. Liked him on 04, like him now.

Since we’re talking about the lunacy that is the GOP Pres. field, I saw that Rudy G. publicly stated within the last few days that he’s pro-choice and he’s not going to change his view on a woman’s right to choose. Now this oughta fire up the fundies.

Rudy was impressive following 9/11, or at least his public perception was positive to most of the folks that weren’t in the trenches during that nightmare. Since then, he drank some of the strongest Kool-Aid that Karl Rove could mix because he completely abandoned any semblance of common sense in following this nutjob President over the cliff.

Forgot that I was behind the money wall.

AZ clean elections…. I do not know all the workings BUT…. while a candidate is gathering signatures to be on the ballot, each office has a X number of $5.00 donations that they need to collect which makes them a credable candidate. The Gov had to collect 5000 $5.00 and then the state funds their campaign up to X amount of dollars.
AZ Clean Elections[pdf]

I am limited on how much I can donate to a candidate. If one candidate is running clean and one is NOT then the state matches the Non-clean candidates money to level the playing field for those who are running clean. THAT is why non-clean candidates get the bad rep.

Newt being a go-to media guy and treated as a viable candidate is a media con. And don’t forget, it’s been almost ten years since he was forced out as speaker. Once a consistent light of publicity is shining on him, I think his viability would evaporate like the fog on a spring morning. I mean fwiw, Delay is still considered a viable media personality but that doesn’t mean he could get elected dog-catcher anywhere.

Direct from What Mitt believes? the Book of Mormon:

THE FIRST BOOK OF NEPHI ~ HIS REIGN AND MINISTRY ~ CHAPTER 12

He hasn’t been to trial on his state charges yet and sooner or later the Feds are going to figure out that Abramhoff has given them enough info to indict Delay. Especially since just about everyone who had worked for him has gone down. A Redubyacan may very well take his seat back but I would seriously doubt that it will be Delay.

After he probably sealed the oil deal, he might have suggested it to them while he was there to save face for the Administration. They always said that if the Iraqi’s told them to leave, they would leave. If they’ve got their oil deal, then their mission is accomplished.

Plus he was too chicken to run again, knowing he’d be crushed. He bankrupted the state. Like bush bankrupted the country.

So, when will Maureen Dowd start sharpening her claws on Pretty Boy Romney?

Question: ‘Or does she only do that to Democratic presidential candidates?’

Answer: Just to Democratic presidential candidates.

I don’t necessarily think Maureen Dowd never says bad shit about republicans. The problem is she has no audience with conservatives so none of em get subjected to her inane “observations.” Liberals and moderates on the other hand read her and some unfortunately fall for the empty wit. In many ways the woman does more damage then Fox news ever could because at least the left is on their guard with Fox.
