been at work and missed something ...what happened?

[SwampG8r]

the folks are up in arms ...again
what happened today?

[stray cat]

1. There is talk she may not be the VP pick....

[mth44sc]

2. I find it hard to imagine

they thought she would be. But thats just me...

[emilyg]

17. Why would you think this is about Hillary.

[scheming daemons]

47. Because 80% of the anti-Kaine threads have been started by Hillary supporters?

:shrug:

[emilyg]

58. I would be very happy with either

Clark or Biden as VP.

[SwampG8r]

65. bidens a good pick

it opens the senate up at the same time
he heads armed services doesnt he?

frankly if i were hillary i would tell him i did not want to be in consideration for the VP slot
it is almost always a dead end job as a mouthpiece for other people
a more productive future would be stymied by a VP gig and many times the VP
when running for future potus ends up not only running against the other party but against policies of the potus they are serving under
oftentimes policies that they were only shortly before endorsing
as a job its a crapshoot as to what it is worth

"2 brothers
1 went to sea and 1 became VP
they were never heard from again" some former VP i cant name said this

[JVS]

62. Oh. Thank God!

[mcctatas]

3. Somebody named Kaine drank some poor womans milksake?

or something like that :evilgrin:

[SwampG8r]

6. thats kind of mean

i like a good milkshake myself

[PM7nj]

4. Someone told them Tim Kaine will be VP and they decided he is the devil incarnate.

It's not just former Hillary supporters though.

[SwampG8r]

10. so he hasnt named anyone?

all the hoaxrage is about another rumor?
people need to remember that its usually not until the convention that you get the VPs name

[PM7nj]

13. Yup. It's one of those nights on DU...

We haven't had one in a while.

[MH1]

5. Ted Stevens indicted!!!

:bounce:

Oh, maybe you are referring to the gazillion Kaine threads. I dunno. Some talking head suggested that he might be on the veep shortlist or something? :shrug:

[SwampG8r]

8. stevens was indicted?

woohoo
more to come?

[Marrah_G]

7. This is not about Hillary or hillary supporters, stop it- IBTL

People are discussing the pros and cons of a possible VP pick. This is a discussion board. Plenty of Obama supporters are not crazy with Kaine either.

[SwampG8r]

9. removed her from the OP

as per your request

[Marrah_G]

12. Thanks

It's been insane here tonight. People are being awful to each other.

[SwampG8r]

15. i just want to know what the brewhaha is all about

and i think i already had smoke blown up my kilt a bit

[Marrah_G]

26. Kilts are always good

[SwampG8r]

30. except for the smoke blowing

i like that breezy feeling most tho

it feels like...victory

[Marrah_G]

36. Well- that depends on the origin of the smoke.

:evilgrin:

[grantcart]

11. had an interesting poll about CBS lol

[NYC_SKP]

14. Congrats on the DUzy...

I'll have to check which thread won it....hint or link?

:thumbsup:

[SwampG8r]

16. sodomized cat

[NYC_SKP]

19. SWEET....Now I gotta go dig it up!!!

Hell yeah, I remember that one!

Cheers, swampg8r !

:toast::bounce: :party: :smoke:

[SwampG8r]

21. its last weeks duzys

i have about a dozen total since i joined
i had 6 before i knew what they were

[NYC_SKP]

24. I'm not surprised.

You're in touch with what I like to call, "your happy place"....

:rofl:

You know what I mean...

[SwampG8r]

27. the only true thing

that fat tub of goo limbaugh ever said was illustrate absurdity with absurdity to make your point

[NYC_SKP]

34. Must be like that "enough monkeys with typewriters will eventually...

....type a sonnet" or whatever it is, cuz it sure ain't his intellect.

[MercutioATC]

52. That was the funniest thing I've read in a long time...

...I told the story at work today.

[MercutioATC]

53. ...oh, and IBTL

(just to mess with swampg8r)

:P

[SwampG8r]

54. hey

i saw you have secret service in your family
ask if they did bush 1 and if so does he remember slamming a door in a cookie makers face at a fundraiser in tallahassee?
double fudge walnut chocolate chip cookies
they said they liked them
still slammed the door on me tho

[MercutioATC]

56. I'll ask.

Don't know exactly when he was on the Presidential detail.

[SwampG8r]

59. this was in 88 bush 1 tallahassee

the cook made cookies but wasnt on the list for entry
pitched a tiny fit
then left

[SwampG8r]

64. funny?

my cat didnt think it was funny

[ecstatic]

18. Someone at the zoo forgot to properly secure

the PUMA exhibit. :rofl: IBTL

[windbreeze]

22. Please someone.....what is IBTL...???

usually I can figure these out...this one has me stumped...and I know I am going to feel real stupid when someone tells me...but I can't take it any more...please...what does it mean?? wb(and please don't laugh)

[cbayer]

55. In before the lock.

In this case, I doubt it was necessary.

:rofl:

[SwampG8r]

60. im being good i swear

[SwampG8r]

20. why does everyone say IBTL on here? its not flamebait

and im asking an honest question
and im doing it respectfully
hell i went back and edited it to remove what could be considered flamebait on request and after being informed of my questions answer

yall sure are touchy tonight

[Hippo_Tron]

23. what does ITBL stand for?

[SwampG8r]

25. in before the lock

if a thread is purposely made to be flamebait or draw angry responses the moderaters will lock it

the intention of this thread is not any of those things but an attempt to find out the source of todays hoaxrage

[cbayer]

57. You walk the line, my friend.

You can be the best at bringing out the best and the best at bringing out the worst. Your choice, but I am most endeared to you when you choose the former.

:hug:

[SwampG8r]

61. honestly i am almost always trying for the former

something about me tho.....
but really i didnt know what was going on tonight
everyone had their panties wadded
and i wanted to know why
swear to god thats all i meant to do
i do draw a crowd sometimes tho it seems

[Marrah_G]

29. Before you changed it , it was

Like I said earlier, things have been nasty as hell here tonight.

Mostly there is a great deal of debate over a possible Kaine VP pick. Some folks think he is to conservative and others think no one should question his stand on issues, even when they go against alot of our values.

[SwampG8r]

32. i was under a wrong impression

and i repaired it as soon as i was informed correctly

wrong impressions are terrible things

[Marrah_G]

35. Yeah- it's all good now

:toast:

[SwampG8r]

38. im watching it because for

some reason i have been able to amass a reputation anong some that does not fairly represent me

i think it is because i was raised to not back down and have allowed myself to be baited into stupid arguements with stupid people

and my daddy said "if you argue with stupid folks you will always lose son.they will drag you down to their level and then they can beat you with experience."

[Marrah_G]

40. We just need to bring things back to civil discourse

Sometimes we will disagree, but I bet we agree on most issues. The DU community needs to start remembering that (myself included) and start treating each other better, especially when disagreeing.

I also never back down. Many here hate my guts, but you will always know where I stand. No bullshit, no trying to be popular. I say what I mean and mean what I say.

[SwampG8r]

41. dad...is that you?

[Marrah_G]

42. errr...... I don't think so..unless someone exchanged my breasts for a penis while I was sleeping

.....I'm relatively certain I am female.

:rofl:

[SwampG8r]

44. ill have to confirm that myself

i mean ...i hardly know you

[NYC_SKP]

37. Yes, wrong impressions are terrible things.....

I had a cat once that was sodomized by a wrong impression.

.....

I found last week's thread, I'm still laughing...

[SwampG8r]

39. hey i got you a duzy too with that one

i share!

[NYC_SKP]

43. Thank you, Sir!

I couldn't bear deleting Ginny so put the DUzy image in my sig line.

Your boat, was that your old avatar?

If so, I salute your boatiness.

I am a river rat, myself, thus the raccoons and similar critters...

[SwampG8r]

45. yes that was my second wife

the miss navi-gator
she is a parker 2520 deep v with twin suzuki 250's
gots so much electronic stuff i have to turn it off and use the compass
all the lights and alarms and stuff make me crazy
she is a fish taker tho
everytime we go out we come home with something delicious

[NYC_SKP]

46. Cool...most boat enthusiasts are very kind and fun folks.

Around here, the Sacramento/San Joaquin river delta, there are miles and miles of waterways.
A boat like yours could make it to San Francisco.

I've had lot's of boats but take them out less than I used to.

Still, there are good times out on the water in winter and weekdays.

We've more ski boats with 40 speakers blasting rap music on the weekends than we once had, so now my dock just has an aluminum boat and a light cat that I'm turning into a two-person solar electric--if I'd get off my fat ass.

:thumbsup:

[SwampG8r]

48. a boat like mine can

get to the bahamas and back before the coast guard even knows im gone
as loong as the weather stays good

[NYC_SKP]

51. I reckon twin 250's...

...on 25 ' of boat will get you moving.

A deep V hull would easily get you to the city from here, and a bit out to sea for some Pacific catch, but the chop under the Golden Gate can be nasty.

[Catherine Vincent]

28. There was an earthquake in California today. nt

[SwampG8r]

33. i did hear about that

terrible thing...

[CreekDog]

31. Obama picked Kaine

oh wait, he didn't :eyes:

[thewiseguy]

49. People are just looking for excuses

If its not Kaine it will be someone else some other false quote to be outraged about.

Interestingly enough the so called outrage is coming from a distinct group of folks. :eyes:

[PM7nj]

50. If there is nothing to be outraged over at the moment...

...some DUers will just make shit up.

[windbreeze]

63. and weren't we actually told.....that if we heard names....it was not

the campaign talking??? that no name would be mentioned by them until the choice was made??? or am I disremembering???? wb
