What is Howard Dean afraid of?

[Larry Gude]

I LOVE HOWARD

...do you know if he likes Slayer or not???

What does he drink???

Bourbon I hope.

I can't stand a sober President. I know I'd never do it sober for damn sure.

"Hey, what's this blinking one do...???"

 

[dems4me]

I'm not sure about the Slayer are you referring to a game?

I attended Dean's 55th birthday party in DC in November and did not pay attention to what he was drinking.

who are you referring to when you say (wo)man? is that slang for something?

Just wondering, what do you like to do for fun larry? Sorry to hear about the dentist being sadistic.

And why do you guys think silence is conceding to an argument. It just means I'm moving on and not brooding over something and being a blowhard on everything. Are all of you want to be attorneys or something? you all would get along great here, what ever happend to walk quietly and carry a big stick.

I don't think it was “you guys” that said anything about silence, it was I that said that. I simply feel that if you have such strong beliefs that you wouldn't let a little disagreement shut you up. And as to moving on, I see we are still right here where we left off with no one going nowhere.

Why would you ask if we all are “wannabe” lawyers? You, after all, claim to work for a law firm. You don't hear us throwing out that type of slam at you (but just for clarity, I got my first year finished before my finances got all fritzed up, I'll finish one day).

Actually the phrase was “walk softly and carry a big stick”, nothing about being quiet about it. But that went out in the 30s or 40s anyway. In today's world you have to be willing to swing that stick and just not bluff all the time. Bluffing got us to the point we found ourselves in a little over two years ago when rag-tag terrorists dared attack us on our soil.

I see us now as being stronger then we have been in years and it is the direction that we need to continue travelling in to assure the safety of our nation and citizens.

Alas...

...we are surrounded by....

SLAYER is a rock and roll band.

I have no idea if 'dems4' is masculine or feminine. I mean no offense.

I go to the dentist for fun.

 

[dems4me]

well I guess like Dean you get my drift on the walk quitely and carry a big stick or whatever that is. I just don't tend to like being offensive. I'm a legal secretary, not an attorney.
Sorry to hear about your finances getting messed up and you not continuing in law school. It wasn't meant as a slam, but meant as -- why do you like to argue. I could say the sky was blue and you'd argue that it was red, there comes a point where you just have to drop the issue and throw your hands up and move on. That is what I'm trying to parralell my quiting and silence issues to.

 

[Larry Gude]

dems4...

...you CAN NOT be a legal secretary, Enron or ACLU.

You have got to learn to use para breaks. You're KILLING people.

MURDER.

You may have caused an earthquake. Have you no humanity?

Sorry...I'm self..............

 

[dems4me]

I'm responding to this thread amongst other things at the same time. This is not considered a "work product" so I'm quite careless about the punctuation, spelling, etc... just quickly trying to fit this in. Again, what does parabreaks have anything to do with Dean and his issues? Why do you dislike Dean soo much? What is the most important issue (whether republican or democrat) to you for htis election?

Don't worry about my finances, it was just the kids getting some of their inheritance early (like always). I'll get back on track after a while and finish up. Right now law is a hobby, not a career, so I have time.

Well I have seen the red sky, but I don't argue for the sake of arguing (though I will admit to receiving enjoyment from it at times). But I won't just throw my hands in the air either (we were taught that means surrender). I would rather go down in the flames of a fight then to be silenced because the fire just got a little too hot.

 

[Larry Gude]

I don't...

...accept that.

You're a spy. You work for Karl Rove trying to make us Dems look like dopes.

The most important thing to me is 30 round mags, pistol grip, flash suppressor, foldable stock and bayonet lug.

No lug.

No love.

For example, what issue do you have against Dean?

That's more like it. Now we can have a decent conversation.

I don't like Dean because he's a liberal with liberal ideology. I'm not a liberal, therefore I don't vote for liberals.

His ugly words against our President - during war time, no less - further alienate me.

He rails about the dumbest things. I think politicians and corporations have a right to hold meetings in private that deal with our national security. Dean sees something sinister in this, even though he did it himself when he was Governor.

He's an anti-war pacifist who obviously has no concept of terrorism and how to deal with it. He thinks we should all join hands and sing Kumbaya by the fire while we celebrate our differences. That's not how it works and 8 years of Clinton showed us that.

I don't like him referring to our President as "the enemy" - especially during war time.

But the big one is the War on Terror. I'm decidedly FOR it and won't vote for any candidate that's not.

 

[dems4me]

vrail -- the meetings were not out of national security but to form a national energy policy. The secret meetings held in Washington was about our national energy policy not national security, of which Ken Lay and Enron got to participate in as with other high ranking energy conglomerates that are all pals of Bush. He then claims presidential privillged. Why is it we can not see what when on in the meeting especially if its creating new energy policies? Doesn't policies and law have to be run through congress and the Senate first? Its things like this that makes me think Bush is shady.

Ken, what field of law would you like to persue?

 

[Larry Gude]

See...

SEE????? E Z

Now...spell check...

 

[tlatchaw]

dems - How can President Bush get any big national energy changes put into law without the support of congress? He might have meetings to come up with plans and ideas to support America as best he can, but he can't rule by decree. Remember how Hillary's health care meetings went? (aside from the fact that she wasn't actually the president?) Didn't congress voice substantial disagreement with her position and stop her from revamping 1/7th of the US economy by herself? That's why we have our political system of checks and balances to protect us from getting shafted in a backroom deal like the ones you perceive from President Bush.

Vrai - You're really Ann Coulter, aren't you?

 

[Larry Gude]

You get no...

...slack as a devil worshipping right wing nut job.

PARA BREAKS for everybody....

 

[tlatchaw]

Larry, are you sure you're not a frustrated English teacher? Hang in there, man. School will be back in session soon.

See? I can do it! I made a PARA BREAK!

Look! I did it again! I'm PARA BREAK dancing!

Whoo Hoo!

 

[Larry Gude]

I love you man...

...I really do.

You been losing weight?

Vote Kucinich!

I don't know. But I don't really care, either, until I see evidence that this might harm our country in some way. My comment was that Howard Dean blasts Bush/Cheney for the very same things he himself has done.

Now you're just trying to flatter me.

 

[dems4me]

No this does not threaten america physically, but financially yes. alot of people were not able to aford the Enron corporate corruption and market manipulation of the huge energy conglomerates and other things that were more than likely brought up at the meeting. If it's not based on any threat to america -- then show us who exactly participated in this and what was discussed - why is Presidential Privilleged being tied into this? In case no one has noticed, Cheney and Bush both have ties in energy and big oil as do their buddies. It just seems way too suspect to me and the general accounting office and should be investigated. Dean's energy meeting had to do with preventing Vermont's utilities from going bankrupt as a result of looser Canadian suppliers. Perhaps he didn't go public so that the issue of the secret National Energy Policy meetings would be brought once again into the lime light. Dean's meeting and Dick Cheny's energy meetings are like applies to oranges. Huge scandle on Cheney's part. Honest confidentiality issues on Dean's part to continue to provide Vermont with electricity.

Larry, I'm not big on parabreaks or spell checking for a forum or emails for that matter. I do enough of it at work and type about 100 words a minute. I just rattle these things off in a matter of minutes if not seconds, I do the same at work and then proof, spellcheck, look at grammer, etc... but I'm not at work when I'm on this forumn nor am I being paid to be gramatically or spelling error free here. Sorry. Just muddle along with me if you like.
