It's turgid, really turgid, on Skins's island today.
One scrambles for nuggets, and gets wet sand particles.

The Kiss Of Death for Hillary
She did not come back to Washington for the FISA vote. It wasn't as important enough to her I suppose, or maybe its just that she considered her own campaign more important than lawlessness in America. Either way this one was an absolute deal breaker. It points to completely misplaced priorities. I would no more vote for her than I would for any Republican.
For some reason, the miniature Civil War historian, who uses a child booster-seat to see over the dashboard of his great big gas-guzzling pick-up truck, is fixated on this FISA issue; one really doubts the childlike
naif understands what FISA is, but the ageing waif's been clinging to it for days and days.
I dunno.
Maybe he thinks it has something to do with free medical care for all.

1. She was in Washington. She chose not to take a side
She likes having things both ways

4. It does that and more. She can no longer mention Obama's "present" votes. It showed she is not a leader, who will stand up at the right time.
And, she was in Texas, skipping WI voters and the FISA vote. Her priorities are on display.

5. Obama skipped the vote, but thats different, "he does that."
Of course he gets a pass on it

6. I don't want either of them to get a pass on it.
Elected officials should vote, especially for the important bills. It's their job.
I was just pointing out that by missing this vote, she has nullified her use of the "present" vote towards Obama as a hit. She gave up a weapon.

7. Neither did Obama vote for the final bill. Oh, I forgot, it's Obama.

11. I believe you are incorrect. Both Obama and McCain returned and voted.
It was important enough for each of them to return and vote - even if one of them got it exactly backwards at least it show where the priority was for them. Hillary's lack of interest in this subject showed too.

8. Why isn't this in GD:P?
"If your thread is about the Democratic presidential primaries and caucuses, or about any of the candidates running for the Democratic presidential nomination, or anything remotely related... Please post in this forum:
GD: Primaries"

12. You are right - but I didn't realize it until I posted and replys were already there
Otherwise I would have self deleted it. You are absolutely right though, it does deserve to be moved.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I suspect the tommy lad knew exactly what he was doing; getting around the posting limit.

9. She kicked off her campaign for months arguing that she can undo Bush's crap and the first clear chance she gets (really low hanging fruit at that), she don't show up for work.
Uh-oh.

And since there is now a posting limit in GD-P, mods have been instructed not to move threads from GD into GD-P.
