I didn't realize primary was a verb.

I have been using it as one since '05.

16. He said the Democrats should primary Obama, not him.
 He will never run for President because he knows it would be futile and he can do more good in the Senate. He has said so many times.

I say we draft Barbara Boxer. We get a woman and a REAL Democrat who will get progressive legislation done.

49. OK, let,s walk this dog
 If by any wildly miraculous chance he actually does, including of course becoming a Democrat first, when the inevitable <5% vote total comes in for him, what will the DU wild-eyed sky confectionary bakers say? Will the media or the corporations, or maybe even election rigging, be the culprit as to why Americans refuaed to vote for a man who proudly embraces a philosophy that has not seen any better than a 20% popularity rating in more than 75 years? Hell there are some issues where I think he's better than Obama(and some where I surely prefer the latter too), but he has no more chance of being nominated for the presidency than I do - and I'm an immigrant.
 

 Buzzkiller!  Damn you!


It's a funny thread.  You should go see.

I didn't realize primary was a verb.

I didn't realize Sanders was a democrat.

Maybe they can resurect Strom Thurmond's States' Rights Democratic Party for him to run as.

[Ballygrl]

How about a Grayson/Sanders or Sanders/Grayson ticket? Not only would I donate to that, heck, for fun I'd even stump for them!

[Ballygrl]

BTW frank, we really need to have a Thread Title of the Year Award along with the Primitive of the Year Award.

[WinOne4TheGipper]

I might have to donate.  How about Operation Chaos 2: The Dope Gets Changed.

The only problem I can see is that when someone asks if the democrat party is a socialist party, they would be telling the truth for the first time when they said yes.

democrats and truth don't mix very well.

Why settle for those lunatics?
Why not go for the DUmp's dream candidate?
Does Yugo speak any English?
It's possible, now that we've established you don't really need to be an American.

The DUmp is goof for what? 90,000 out of 100,000 votes? Haven't been there in a while so I don't know what they are up to.

[formerlurker]

SANDERS: Brian, believe me, I wish I had the answer to your question. Let me just suggest this. I think there are millions of Americans who are deeply disappointed in the president, who believe that with regard to Social Security and other things, he said one thing as a candidate and is doing something very much else as a president. Who cannot believe how weak he has been for whatever reason in negotiating with Republicans, and there’s deep disappointment. So my suggestion is, I think one of the reasons the president has made the move so far to the right is that there is no primary opposition to him and I think it would do this country a good deal of service if people started thinking about candidates out there to begin contrasting a progressive agenda as opposed to what Obama believes he’s doing. [...] So I would say to Ryan, discouragement is not an option. I think it would be a good idea if President Obama faced some primary opposition.

Oh, no. Most of the 100,000 were tombstoned years ago, and most of those were moles. A huge number registered, then left in disgust when they realized what the DUmp really is. Of the 5000 or so they actually have, at least half of those are repuke moles. Of the 2500 or so true moonbats, some vote vegan, or communist, or green, or socialist worker, or NAMBLA, and a large number forget that it's Election Day. My guess is the Kenyan can count on no more than 1000-1500 votes from the DUmp.

I don't think the people in Hollywood could dream up a more terrifying plot than this.
Could you imagine a Pelosi/Boxer ticket?

Cleita. In the running for the next to DUmbest person on all of the internet.

Now that's an interesting proposition! Who is the second most stupid person on all the internets?

I don't think anyone can challenge Beth Ferrari for the title of stupidest (lol), but the DUmp provides us with a
huge field of contenders for the runnerup spot.

Unless Beth surprises us with a really entertaining storyline over the next few months, that runnerup could
very well be the 2011 DUmmy of the Year.

I dunno, sir; I always considered the Cleita primitive, who's pretty old, as one of the lumpenunterprimitiven, from which one can't expect much.

But maybe I'm wrong.  I have been before.

Only when she is replying to a post that someone else started. The campfire's that she starts are way beyond articulate.

She's unable to get her point across.
