Well its true that an English army never whupped all Scotland.  But its also true it never had to.  At Dunbar and Glencoe and Culloden English troops helped Scots beat each other.

good point belhaven, would they still be a NATO ally?

Right now, she might; if it were any other issue, her influence would be decisive.  But they're in a position to finish her as a party leader.  That's why I brought up Kerry and Gore and Dukakis.  They don't have the supreme clout they had before they lost an election.  If the superdelegates do a Darth Vader and throw her down a powershaft, Obama will reward them.

But if you had a gun to my head you must be stuck on the idea of shooting me. I mean, after the bowl of ice cream, then what? "Answer the phone or I blow your head off". Basically I can take that pistol or die trying. It's a question of when, and before I risk it all, ice cream would hit the spot. Plus I'd be armed with a spoon when I go for you.

The thing about dumping Hillary is, there's no consequences if she loses. It's not as if Kerry Gore and Dukakis can get free coffee let alone wage war on enemy Democrat mayors. If Mayor Daley says "poop to you, girly" wtf can she do to him in Chicago?  And he knows better than to try for statewide office.

Stupid Republicans voted for Hillary in Texas to keep her campaign alive. I thought THE ONE THING that would bring us all together was flushing that bitch out of national politics. So much for yet another core Republican value.

I'm out of touch with America? No shit! So what? I've been out of touch since the bulk of the country renounced a general nuclear war as too awful to contemplate, even if we're destroyed. They're wrong, and life will beat it into them better than I could by arguing online. I only have to wait.

"I'm so glad that I can get such thoughtful responses in the Politics forum! "

so basically, "FTSU!"

I don't think McCain will do it.  Too many Bush voters are pissed and Obama is bringing out millions of new Democrats.   I don't see enough people drifting to McCain even if Denver ends up a WWE match.

I don't think we can lose in Iraq at this point, we've got the clear momentum behind the national government.  And no, having a democratically elected government order us out isn't a "loss" to me.  I think we did it right, having the army become loyal to the constitution first.

The real problem in Zimbabwe isn't that asshat Mugabe, its the million yokels who will pick up machetes and torches and kill whoever Mugabe hates.  Since mass casualties are somehow barbaric I don't see that being solved.  We only solved it in Germany by killing 11% of their population in six years.

FARC runs cocaine and kidnaps for ransom. That's the sort of "good revolutionary" this monkey supports. Oddly enough I never heard he threatened Surinam. I think he's capable of starting a war, Idi Amin did with far less resources. I don't think a President Obama would stave him off either.

big_smile let us know

1. cut a piece of brown wrapping paper about 1 inch wide and three inches long, roll it into a very thin needle, and shove that down the middle of the tobacco in the cigarette.  They'll smell and taste harsh.

2. pee on them and let them dry.

3. just stop taking your cigarettes out of your pockets.  if your shirt has pockets, use them.  If you can't, tuck your shirt in, and drop them inside your shirt like a cowboy.

Yeah I've switched to elbekko just out of tribute to the effort he put in.  Plus, I found out BBcode will let you input whatever hexadecimal code you want for your signature color, so I still get that funky Borg green big_smile
