54. He was a hell of a guy

Sat Nov 7, 2015, 09:51 PM

Nov 2015

The words kind and humble.were the most common used to describe him.
He was a non judgemental man who treated everyone like they hoped they would be treated.
He fought in Korea and built the lunar lander
He put his feet on every continent and took only memories
He was loving and loved
If I could do one thing to make America better it wod be to make him everyone's.dad.

What??? The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2015 #1

Yep SwampG8r Nov 2015 #2

Can you provide the quote please? nt Cali_Democrat Nov 2015 #4

If I.so will you accept it or will you make up a reason to excuse it? SwampG8r Nov 2015 #7

It's on reply 8 SwampG8r Nov 2015 #10

If the quote in post #8 is what you're referring to.... Cali_Democrat Nov 2015 #13

She didn't say she could think k of a.couple.of Republicans she could run with? SwampG8r Nov 2015 #14

She probably believes saying this will get her Republican votes AgingAmerican Nov 2015 #126

She clearly stated that she could consider a Republican just not one who is currently running. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #50

Did it occur to you that she probably couldn't think sufrommich Nov 2015 #52

Except that she said that she could. Can you? Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #57

What should she have said when faced with a sufrommich Nov 2015 #58

I'd answer, there is no national crisis that a Democratic ticket cannot address. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #60

A simple "Fuck the national crisis Rachel, that crisis was caused by the fucking republicans. Autumn Nov 2015 #70

Well wow... malokvale77 Nov 2015 #95

Reply8 SwampG8r Nov 2015 #11

Well, you can add that to the growing list of deal-breakers. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2015 #5

Except for that pesky on the record fact that she COULD consider a Republican. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #59

Yeah, I guess. The Velveteen Ocelot Nov 2015 #62

Exactly. So, like the OP, I am curious. Which republican would Hillary choose to Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #64

How will they explain... malokvale77 Nov 2015 #97

I am sure they have breakfast together on occasion. nt artislife Nov 2015 #3

Probably Sunday mornings SwampG8r Nov 2015 #48

She said that suggesting names would destroy their campaigns. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #6

The truth, the op is not correct, we are not FOX listeners. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #18

I am correct SwampG8r Nov 2015 #22

Not in this life, read post #8 again. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #25

Read it and re-read it. Hillary would consider a Republican just not any of those Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #66

Lincoln is not currently running Buzz cook Nov 2015 #114

i'd say.. any Democrat is better than a Republican to step up to national crisis. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #120

But that doesn't answer the question. Buzz cook Nov 2015 #139

The truth, the OP is correct, we are not stupid. malokvale77 Nov 2015 #98

The question asked: sufrommich Nov 2015 #8

Alternate response: no one. Kip Humphrey Nov 2015 #26

There are Republicans I could pick SwampG8r Nov 2015 #28

This may be the dumbest faux outrage attempt sufrommich Nov 2015 #33

I knew when I heard it 72DejaVu Nov 2015 #40

Yes,it's getting very predictable. nt sufrommich Nov 2015 #41

Not twist the word you are looking for is repeat SwampG8r Nov 2015 #45

For the past 6+ years, Republican politicians have proven beyond doubt that they do not do unity. merrily Nov 2015 #107

She was a spoiled sport. She azmom Nov 2015 #9

She did not, someone did not tell the truth. Thinkingabout Nov 2015 #21

Who claimed she named names? SwampG8r Nov 2015 #32

That was the dumbest question I've heard moobu2 Nov 2015 #16

And a dumb answer too SwampG8r Nov 2015 #17

Not hardly. moobu2 Nov 2015 #19

Saying there are Republicans she would run with is a perfect answer? SwampG8r Nov 2015 #23

Rachael asked her to pick a Republican. moobu2 Nov 2015 #24

And she said she could SwampG8r Nov 2015 #30

She was asked if she would pick a Republican from the current candidates. Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #67

In the trick-trap question she was TOLD she HAD TO pick one of the Republican candidates moobu2 Nov 2015 #74

And she didn't answer under the conditions stated SwampG8r Nov 2015 #76

It is an easy question to answer. "I wouldn't pick a republican, Democrats can do the job." Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #85

That wasn't the context of Rachel's tricky question though moobu2 Nov 2015 #94

And Hillary refused to answer in that context SwampG8r Nov 2015 #104

Burnish that pebble... LuvLoogie Nov 2015 #29

Eisenhower LuvLoogie Nov 2015 #27

Confuzled. Is there more to the quote? Just none that are currently running Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #35

Yes she would not.consider those.running but SwampG8r Nov 2015 #42

She did not say she would consider another Renew Deal Nov 2015 #99

Could you quote those words "If she had to" Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #101

Oh oh oh oh! I get it now! You are right! Totally forgot that there are 15 republican Luminous Animal Nov 2015 #39

No, it was a hypothetical in which she had to pick a Republican. Vattel Nov 2015 #36

This was.a bullshit question riderinthestorm Nov 2015 #86

Only on threads not attacking Hillary with them. moobu2 Nov 2015 #102

Figures. Agschmid Nov 2015 #103

"We?" Passing that, there's a difference between a Republican voter and a Republican VP. See? merrily Nov 2015 #108

Yes "We" if he makes it to the GE it's going to be "we"... Agschmid Nov 2015 #110

If you can't see any difference between a Republican voter and a Republican VP, there's no point merrily Nov 2015 #112

Not "new" honestly I support Sanders even now. Agschmid Nov 2015 #113

I'm not surprised some don't know the difference. malokvale77 Nov 2015 #125

Don't know or won't admit to knowing? I can't tell. merrily Nov 2015 #130
