DEM Primaries/Candidates thread
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 10:41 AM) Yea, because I'm sure he's some nutjob wacked out Republican and all. GMAB. Edwards is a class pig. Period. Because his wife doesn't like the neighbor? Wow. It seems of all the candidates he's the only one that puts his pocketbook where his mouth is. I believe he really has tried to help the poor. But to believe he must go over and hug any poor person is crazy. But your standards are your standards.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 10:45 AM) She is the one on the campaign trail claiming all of this experience from her work in the White House and all of the meetings she sat in on etc. Without the records, who knows. Which is up to her husband and a rival Pres to jointly release. So pro and con get blocked. Sounds like a nice cozy relationship. I've pretty much discounted any claim of experience from being First Lady, so it doesn't mean much to me. Well perhaps she knows where to tell Bill to stand at state functions and which spouses are fun to hang with.

Bill, look I ran for president, put up with all the campaign b.s. and Won! Just so I could give you the power like you like! Sorry, I don't see anyone doing that, at certainly not Hillary. I see Hillary telling him to shut up and take the other spouses to tea. In fact, I could see her using, in part, her position to humiliate the former President in that way. Hmm, that just may be something I would like about her.

DEM Primaries/Candidates thread
QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 10:17 AM) Nice. "I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people but does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me." This guy is the biggest fake in the field. Kap, would you go over and chat with him? GMAB and take off the partisan glasses. Plus did you notice most of the quotes were from his wife? Would you send your wife and daughter over to the crazy gun toting neighbor who chases people away from his fence? There are better things to criticize him over.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 10:17 AM) That's just it. She won't authorize the release of her records to see if what she is claiming she did in the White House is true or not. Instead all we have to go on is hearsay, and what her and Bill have to say. The records would clear that up really quickly. I thought we were talking about the Presidential records? I can't believe she has that much official authority. National secrets, etc.

On one hand you say she hasn't done anything, on the other you claim she was practically a co-President with Bill. I'm not a big Hillary fan, but I really don't see her allowing Bill to have much involvement. Look at the adjectives that Kap used, is that the kind of person that would win as President and then turn over the reigns to her husband?

Athletics want out of Oakland
QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 10:08 AM) San Antonio would only work if a stadium was built between there and Austin. Like New Braunfels or San Marcos. But I don't think Tom Hicks and Drayton McClane will allow it. I think Portland is probably the best bet outside of Fremont. I think the drive from Austin to SA wouldn't stop fans. Put the stadium on the north side and they would be fine. I don't think they need to go all the way to San Marcos. Maybe near the outlet malls?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 09:55 AM) I actually thought he meant Bush I having been VP for 8 years, then Prez. I was thinking both when Kap mentioned it. I never thought about how much access he had to the President(s), for so long. Perhaps the most influential non_president ever. 16 years of being able to pick up the phone and clearly listened to and respected, then another 4 as President. That's a pretty amazing run.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 09:48 AM) Both. I'm not kidding, either. So you accept she has Presidential experience because she was First Lady? I've rejected it, I just didn't see her sitting in with the Pentagon, etc. I put her and Nancy, Barbara, Rosaline, in about the same position. There was some early window dressing, but in the end, she was a First Lady.

New Word I Coined In Urban Dictionary
illigrant 2 thumbs up Someone who enters the country illegally, but is eventually allowed to stay. Kap was worried when everyone found out he was an illigrant. But after being here for twenty years, no one cared he entered the country illegally.

Predict where A-Rod will be playing in 2008
It's show time. The biggest agent on sports with a certain HoF player about to hit his prime. It will be a record contract, there are only a couple teams that could swallow it. Grab the popcorn, lock up your wallet, this is going to be fun. Plus, he's someone that could legit play in either league without much of a drop off. With Boras as an agent, factors like playing in the AL with the DH at the end of his career will not come into play. It's like knowing tomorrow's lotto numbers.

Athletics want out of Oakland
QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Oct 24, 2007 -> 08:44 AM) why do you think this, in general. The gambling aspect? Teams survive on the hometown fanatics. Vegas is too much tourism. San Antonio has done well in supporting the Spurs, through thick and slightly less thick. I'm not certain about the San Antonio / McAllen reference. McAllen is 4 hours from San Antonio and I'm not certain how that would fit in.
