Democratic SLEEPER: What if Granholm ran (D) for president?
Jeez, I just heard Governor Granholm of Michigan (D) refute Dur Fuhrers tax cut to the top 3%, which he now claims must become "Permanent." Her voice swirled across the airwaves with a hypnotic quality that carries a listener along like some media pied-piper. Boy could she kick some Repuke ass for the top job.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still riding the Russ-Bus to Fein-land but our party has lots of hidden ammunition. How is the Governor working out in your state?

I have a great southern deal for you... We'll trade two senators and a Governor for your Governor site unseen. That's a three for one deal! It's like a big sale!! How can you resist!!!

We also have some great Gulf resort lots we will gladly sell, after the tide goes out. It's the Alabama Time Share Plan, using ALL NATURAL INGREDIENTS. You'll love it!

4. what a bummer 2-guns
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 02:52 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
she still makes one Hell of a spokesperson for the party... She's a sleeper for sure, in that capacity. I bet Russ can fix the amendment for us if it's a legal and honorable act. If in ANY way, however, it violates his oath of office, there is no point in wasting an email to ask him for help on the matter. He is our next president. I have faith.

And what about the great THREE-FOR-ONE bargain I offered? I don't care which state you live in <offer not valid in FL> We'll be glad to let your governor take charge and you get ours! ACT NOW AND GET TWO FREE SENATORS! LIMITED OFFER!!

7. I like your attitude! We will prevail...
and fuck the pundits and naysayers.

Granholm is a good Governor. She would make an excellent Cabinet Sec. possibly Education.

I think we'll keep Granholm and our two Dem Senators Levin and Stabenow. But, feel free to come up and visit us anytime. The good people of Michigan are very hospitable.

9. can I bring my own climate?
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 03:33 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
I don't mean the "political" climate... I'd like to send that back in time to Nazi Germany where it belongs. I don't mind the cold but the tyrant will freeze y'all out of there pretty fast with his escalated economic schedule... He's trying to prove he's not a "lame duck." Maybe I better just lie low on this lake till the Gestapo comes knocking. Cuban weather is not bad much of the year.

SEE? I'm optimistic! lol... In all seriousness, we gotta keep the faith though!

6. There are two other women Dem Govs.
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 02:53 PM by longship
Kathleen Sibelius, Gov. of Kansas.

Janet Napolitano, Gov. of Arizona.

I would love to see either of them on the ticket, even if it were the second spot.

8. ok it's a deal
Edited on Sat Feb-04-06 03:27 PM by Jeffersons Ghost
Alabama will take either one. History will prove we're not at all picky when it comes to governors. My dear friend Longship, the good news is that you acted just in time to receive our media bonus deal. You get two senators at no extra charge. That's right, while our state has spent millions on this pair of political wonders, we're giving them to y'all absolutely free!

ON EDIT: I just read the fine print in your caption... you want to know what I think about when the tyrant knew? I think Dur Fuhrer knew it when he first started planning the big event with OBL. He wants us to believe 9/11 was just another one of his many "mistakes."

10. She is great, but she can't run because she
was born in Canada. And, I certainly wouldn't want that rule changed because then Awnold would be eligible to run!!

12. that's spooky to envision
Arnie running the show is almost as spooky as an ex-judge from my state running the Military Industrial Machine with some brand new "commandments."

13. Great sales pitch!
But I doubt any takers. Riley, Sessions and Shelby? A fundie, a freak and a turncoat?

We've got an ex-Klansman, a Rockefeller and a DINO here in WV, and even we wouldn't take that deal!

I'm an Alabama native myself, so I certainly feel your pain!

15. hey don't start naming names buddy!
Are you trying to ruin my gig? I had a deal with the guy till you chimed in... what's up with that? I mean live and let live, right Capt?

Oh I forgot to add, our fine Gov takes care of Native concerns and has tons of experience in dealing with local tribes... He's a real pro, instrumental in training Michael Scanlon and other hard workers... He's a ground floor kind of guy, I'm telling you! TIME IS RUNNING OUT! ACT NOW!
