Hillary's campaign has hit an iceberg, and her surrogates are trying to keep it afloat
with fluff and spin, claiming that the iceberg is an illusion.

1. Can you teach us how to support fluff?
I mean what with you being an Obama supporter --you have more practice.

5. You understood the OP?
I'm having trouble parsing out all the mixed metaphors. At least the fluff-and-spin one was useful -- it reminded me that tomorrow's Laundry Day.

11. Truthfully?
No.

But I figured what the hell --it deserved a nice solid snark.

21. No, it isn't.
Maybe you could try it again using facts, logic, and reason, as opposed to fuzzy abstracts.

27. Fact: Hillary's campaign is not doing as well as she anticipated.
How's that?

31. Much clearer than your iceburgs and spin cycles.
Fact: I would really appreciate it if you would stop rubbing salt in the wounds of HRC supporters. It's mean, it's ugly, and it makes this "unity" business you all keep pushing sound like a lot of bullshit.

32.  "I would really appreciate it if you would stop rubbing salt in the wounds of HRC supporters." BS!
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 11:43 PM by ProSense
I made a statement about Hillary and her surrogates. It's a fact: financial problems, losses, campaign staff changes, etc.

I have yet to see your self-righteous BS in threads where no facts exists, only taunts about cultism, name calling and other divisive BS, or in threads where facts are posted only to be disrupted using the same tactics.

"it makes this 'unity' business you all keep pushing sound like a lot of bullshit."

BS! I post no such things. This thread is my opinion, and I am free to express it!

33. There you go with that double standard again.
When you express an opinion, you have every right to do it. Whenn I exptress an opinion, it's "self-righteous BS". :eyes:

Well, don't worry -- when your precious Obama wins the nom, you won't have to see my name anymore.

In the meantime, it's about time I stopped seeing yours.

God bless the Ignore feature. Bye.

15. Question
Do you have an original thought in your head?

Or do you pretty much just cut and paste only?

36. I see so many Hit pieces against Barack on this site with 100s of rec's
till it ain't even funny.

I gave up reading them.....cause most is like used toilet tissue....awful made up and twisted shit.

I feel sorry for them.

Many of the posts remind me of animals caught in a cage trashing around in their last minutes of life.

Being you, this post is nothing more than your usual flame-bait NonSense.
