:bounce:

[niyad]

2. that certainly seems to be the case. watching all the sellout dems is breaking my heart.

[sui generis]

13. yep - no more frikkin' lawyers! hang 'em all, especially the

so called "constitutional" lawyers.

By nature, the unicorn wand that lawyers wield is interpreting the words of other people.

That's not leaderly, or leadership.

I want a president who knows right from wrong without consulting his church, his faith, or having to reach "across the aisle" to appease the same people who would as soon organize a lynch mob as give him the time of day.

37. Grayson IS a lawyer...

Alan Mark Grayson (born March 13, 1958) is an American attorney who is currently serving as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Florida's 8th congressional district. A progressive Democrat, Grayson defeated Ric Keller, a four-term incumbent Republican in the 2008 congressional election. Recently, Grayson is known for making controversial remarks regarding public figures.

[sui generis]

38. snork!

okay, I can make an exception for Grayson. :P

[pleah]

3. K&R

[niyad]

4. thank you.

[pleah]

You're welcome, but I see that the unrec brigade is out in force. n/t

[niyad]

7. so I have noticed. guess alternatives are not even to be mentioned, eh?

[KansasVoter]

11. Here is one....Obama/Biden....dumbass!

[niyad]

17. no room for discussion of possibilities, eh?

[onenote]

42. You are looking for a discussion of fantasies, not possiblities.

POssibilities would suggest something that is, well, possible. Your proposal, at least in the real world, doesn't come close to meeting that standard. What you are trying to do is start a discussion of fantasies.

[onenote]

26. no one is stopping you from mentioning them. unrecs simply mean you shouldn't be applauded

for stupid.

[niyad]

28. please note that I wasn't the one who pointed out the un'recs" ,

I think a lot of things are stupid, doesn't mean I bother to un'rec them.

[cali]

48. I think your op is fabulously stupid. I didn't unrec it. I find it amusing.

[Kdillard]

5. Good luck with that.

[SIMPLYB1980]

6. Clinton/Emanuel

15. this is not flamebait. live with it.

[MadBadger]

25. Its the very definition of flamebait

This was posted with the very intention of starting a flamefest, as is any thread with other names than Obama/Biden.

[cali]

14. these posts are silly.

there's virtually no chance of that, and frankly, I wouldn't support that ticket. Grayson makes me nervous and Franken needs more experience.

[niyad]

18. really? more experience than obama, for example?

[onenote]

27. franken doesn't have as much experience as Obama

US Senator wasn't Obama's first elective office. He served several terms in the state legislature as well. During those years, what was Franken doing to get experience with the process of governing?

[niyad]

30. reporting on those doing the governing, for one.

[onenote]

36. from 1996 to 2004? Really?

The Al Franken show debuted in 2004. While Franken wrote Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot in 1996, a book I enjoyed greatly, calling it "reporting on those doing the governing" would be a stretch, even if reporting on governing could be equated to the actual work of governing.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

35. Uh...yeah. Obama served as an IL state senator and a U.S. senator.

[cali]

45. uh, let's see: Obama served for something like a decade in the Illinois

State Senate and taught ConLaw for years as well as serving for two years in the U.S. Senate. Franken has had no previous public service or elected office. So yeah, he had considerably more experience when he ran than Franken would have. In addition, Franken, not being a moron would never ever run against a sitting dem president.

[niyad]

19. why does grayson make you nervous? what is he doing besides speaking truth to power?

[cali]

46. ok, this is touchy

but I think he's far too reflexively pro-Israel.

[NYCGirl]

20. Al Franken himself would find this more comical than serious. NT

[niyad]

22. quite possibly. on the other hand, we had a hack, 2-bit actor at one point.

at least franken is a good comic.

[NYCGirl]

41. Franken is also a good Demorat

Which is the main reason he'd find this OP comical (or perhaps pitiful).

[nemo137]

21. A first term senator and 3-term backbencher.

This will not go well.

[niyad]

24. we have a first-term senator now.

[Lord Helmet]

43. Obama: 1-term U.S. Senator AND 3-term Illinois State Senator

[MadBadger]

23. Flamebait at its finest.

[niyad]

29. really? as opposed to discussion? what is wrong with positing a point for discussion?

[Moochy]

47. Unrealistic flame bait not worthy of discussion

Even the most staunch Obama critics here can see this is an itchy red sock.

[polichick]

40. How so? nt

49. Franken/Weiner 2012

You gotta admit, it has a nice ring to it. :D

[whistler162]

55. East coast or west coast Weiner?

Michael or Anthony?

[jgraz]

56. Um... I'll give you three guesses

And the first two don't count.

On the other hand, if we're going for mixed-party tickets, it's gotta be Weiner/Boehner. :D

[Ter]

50. No thanks, I prefer not to lose 45+ states

[Aramchek]

51. fools of a feather act like buffoons together

[LastNaturalist]

52. You live on the moon, don't you?

[Moochy]

53. niyad / moran 2012

you and that guy with the 'Hey Morans' sign and the bandanna should run against Palin/Bachmann.

[whistler162]

54. That would make many "prograssives" happy......

a return to a Republican White House/Congress will give them a return to the status queue!
