Nominating someone other than Teresa Heinz' husband would have been a good start. The rest of the election was pretty much damage control after that.

Ya, a lot of dems found a rational for being lazy. Heinz is a decent one. I’m sure the families of the murdered 100k Iraqi civilians who were turned to dust can empathise with you.

*sigh* He's older, he's Jewish, he's depressed and, if that weren't enough, he's arrogant.

Just the kind I go for!
In a perfect world, we would've hooked up, but, now, *SIGH*, we never will.

Beestie, you missed yet another entity that cheated Marichiko.

dov, we have previously and thoroughly debunked the 100k figure. I know that won't mean anything to you.

Woman. If you came to the Cellar to get your spirits lifted by liberal Americans, I'm afraid you may be disappointed. But Cellar Dwellars do come in just about every political flavor and are always up for a good flame war. It passes the time. ;)

Jeez, Beestie, at least get your facts straight. I don't live in Boulder, which thanks to the presence of the University of Colorado, is a cess pool of bleeding heart liberals. I live down south in Focus of the Family Land. You'd adore this county for its arch Republican make-up. Therefore, your quote should have been:

That's OK, you don't have to thank me. :p

If America did, in some strange parallel universe default we're *all* screwed.
That's my 2c, in Australian dollars.

I saw your pic, incredible environment. You look very happy.

I am noticing the variety here. Gives me the freedom to be me. (Potentially, I have that pretentious mask on as I usually do when I walk into an unfamiliar room.) I am good at what I do, and I bore easily. I have been on forums where the posters were consistently ultra left wing Marxist feminists or others sights where the rednecks pass around a bottle of JD, or my fave, closets bacs. Within five minutes I can pigeon hole them. Not so here, plus you all have a certain respect for one another which transcends your political doctrines.
I like it here and I hope you can tolerate my arrogant facade long enough to get to know me.
(The jury is still deliberating whether it is a facade or not.)

Don't worry. ZippyT's spelling makes you look really good.

And we love our ZippyT. There's a point at which it becomes endearing, you know?

I guess I've figured out from context what "bac" means, but what's it short for?

I'm guessing Born Again Christian.

Which is not the same as an Evangelical, which I believe is where the conceptual problem is occuring in this exchange.

Born Again Christians are evangelicals, but evangelicals are not necessarily BACs.

I could be wrong. I am teachable. Teach me wolf.

uh-oh.

If you had any idea how many Pagans have resulted from just this sort of question...
