I keep hearing "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to" by Leslie Gore (any relation to ALgore) In fact hit the links to enjoy some music while reading the thread. Breaks up the day.

as I read this thread. Of course the words were slightly different. Sort of along the line of "Nobody knows where my Barry has gone but Hillary left the same time".

So Elizabeth Warren was a Republican up until 1995.
Well, isn't that convenient.
As a young salesperson in suburban Orlando I can remember being the only person in my peer group who supported Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis in their doomed 1984 and 1988 campaigns . It would have been much more advantageous to my career if I would have surrendered to the zeitgeist and supported Ronald Reagan and Bush Pere but I held firm to my beliefs rather than surrender them for career gains or filthy lucre.
I was a Democrat when being a Democrat wasn't cool.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Well isn't this thread Special
Actually Church Lady is probably right on this: Satan may have been instrumental in the conversion of both Fauxahauntus and Hillary to the Democratics.
There are plenty of contentious posts on this thread. Here we have a nice embedded bouncy.

126. Reagan era, Warren and I both made great money, most of mine got spent trying to plug the holes
in a social safety net that was allowing tens of thousands of sick people to suffer unassisted by society and government. During Reagan's time, I was a public person, a celebrity even. Everyone knew where I stood, to do otherwise was unthinkable. Yes, it cost me lots of money, lots of connections and there were many people at that time who would not even be in a room with someone who had been in a room with someone with AIDS.
During that same time, Warren made millions of dollars doing 'consulting work' that paid six figure fees, not always easy pickings, such gigs. She voted to continue all of the policies that were ignoring AIDS and the plight of the middle class even as I was in the streets and in the papers speaking out.
Her presence reminds me how little many Democrats differ from Republicans.
Ummmmmm mm mm. Uses the phrase plugging holes and Aids in the same post.? My vote "fudge packer".
Then we have a nice take down and a come back to it.

In fact my mom and dad told me it was playing in the background when I was conceived.
What was actually playing out went more like "that fateful day the rubber broke, while mom was on her back, he pulled it out though he was safe but some went running back". Nine months later another DUmmy was born as sung to the tune of:

33. And she doesn't bash the President
It seems only her strongest supporters for her throwing her hat in the ring do that. I'm not talking about DU per se - but IRL. Facebook wars amongst Democrats aren't pretty right now.
I don't consider Sanders viable as a Democratic candidate until he affiliates officially as one.
But the Warren/Clinton battles are kind of fun to sit back and get a good laugh at. All of these people know damn well that they are going to run to the polls if Cruz or Carson or Paul comes close.
Got to love a good cat fight!!

103. The only difference between the 80's and 90's....
is that Reagan and the GOP were open about being right wing free-market corporatists.
Clinton and the 3rd Way Dems put through policies that were even more right wing/corporatist, but used smoke and mirrors to disguise it.
Of course they could always nominate John F. Kerry (who served in Viet Nam)
