Love Open Threads, they’re like Anything Can Happen Day from the original Mickey Mouse Club 😀
Here’s a continuation of the last thread’s discussion on Lady Dem Govs, Christine Gregoire managed to be a gov for two terms without a recall effort or battling lawsuits, so she must have done good:
What popped out at me is that she was expected to be appointed to an Obama Cabinet position after her second term ended. She wasn’t. So it’s either that not elitist snob enough, too smart to play Oblahmatics or just too darn moderate.
She’s Hillary’s age and looks a little like her, on paper, much better qualified than Hill.
Sigh “Marty”, had such a crush on him. I liked Corky and White Shadow too. I wish the Disney Channel would re-run these, great classic t.v., like Lucy 🙂
She was a good governor but she kinda lost me when she endorsed Obama early on. That said, I’m not sure that her endorsement made much of a difference in the end — because OF COURSE Washington (or at least Seattle, where most of the people are) was going to vote BO regardless of what she did.
Many in Seattle were for Hillary in 2008. I went to my caucus at AE#2 elementary, I have lived in the same house for 27 years, I only knew about 4 people out of the mob that showed up. I know many people around here so something was way off. I did not vote for Gregoire when she ran for reelection. BTW she barely won both of her elections, I believe they found several boxes of previously uncounted ballots during the recount of her first election. She gave the graduation speech at my sons college graduation. That was during her second term. I was amazed because she complained about how bad things were when she took over (from herself) at the beginning of the year but how she had made improvements. It was pretty impressive BS. She is not Ivy indoctrinated so she is ignorant white trash in the eyes of east coast elitists. She has also had cancer and that would be used against her. But having said all that I would vote for her for President and she is better than the vast majority of male Democrat politicians who will run in 2016.
That’s party politics, I usually don’t hold it against them unless they go out of their way to support TOO MUCH. She would give Hillary a run for her money in a primary.
Her mother was a short order cook down here in Auburn, WA. Her schooling is all Washington State. Her husband is a military vertern. She did well having to deal well considering the state was lacking revenue most years and Washington is not allowed to run deficit. I didn’t always agree with her but she seemed pretty upfront.
The thing the elitists progs don’t get is that ONLY the elitist whites owned slaves and they owned not only black slaves but native American slaves and white people who were political prisoners indentured for longer than their expected life span (aka slaves). They pretty much owned anyone they could. So while many in the elitist class have good reason to feel guilty not all whites do. My family included indentured servants and home stead farmers. We were owned we never owned other people. So hey Progs, don’t dump your load of elitist guilt on me.
Does the Church ever officially go through with it or is this just saber-rattling? I mean, IIRC the Archbishop of Boston OFFICIATED at Ted Kennedy’s memorial service, and he was pretty darned pro-choice. But the excommunication threats come up against lots of Catholic politicians, like John Kerry (again IIRC — my browser is moving pretty slow tonight so no links).
back in history the church has excommunicated people for not following church mandates. Will they do it now I am not sure.
example the priest would not give my mom the last rites because she was divorced and remarried. But then look at how the Kennedy family was handled by the church
I just got a survey from the Republican National Committee. Do not know why I got it as I am a registered independent. I did contribute to the McCain -Palin campaign way back when.
filled it out. they want me to send money for the survey to count, that is not going to happen. The last question was what do I think they should do .
my answer
get some balls, stand up to obama and remember country before party always.
I think it has to do with donating, gives you a lifetime subscription to their spam snail and email. I continue to get both from both parties. Aholes keep “scaring” me with how evil the other guy is, and I tend to agree with them all 😉
Netroots Nation is trending on twitter right now #nn13 Not as much fun to read as the tea party rally, but interesting to see what their important “issues” are.
I like how this guy thinks: Ted Cruz: Let’s go into Syria, secure or destroy Assad’s chemical weapons, then get out http://t.co/cOoHkAhW2e— Myiq2xu (@realmyiq2xu) June 20, 2013

Dana is little but she is mighty. Between her and Sarah no wonder both the dems and the reps are afraid of women

Found the MMC video, circa 1955?
I remember Tuesday was “Special Guest Day” and Friday was “Talent Roundup”, but I only watched it for “Spin and Marty”.

Oh, how I remember this!!! thanks!

She was an Obot from early on in 2008. It was sickening.

The Vile Progs are going to run Elizabeth Warren. But first they have to get Hillary’s Holdouts back in the corral.

Abortion is an issue that the Catholic church will never approve. that will not change

I think the the prog dem party has become a suicide cult to expiate their white guilt. Seriously.
The thing the elitists progs don’t get is that ONLY the elitist whites owned slaves and they owned not only black slaves but native American slaves and white people who were political prisoners indentured for longer than their expected life span (aka slaves). They pretty much owned anyone they could. So while many in the elitist class have good reason to feel guilty not all whites do. My family included indentured servants and home stead farmers. We were owned we never owned other people. So hey Progs, don’t dump your load of elitist guilt on me.
Because Constance is guilt-deficient a thoughtful prog would feel guilt for her, thus saving her the stress and effort.
I saw some tweet the other day claiming something like 90% of guys on death row are black. My response was “Are they guilty?”

Damn! This was supposed to reply to HELENK, but I screwed up the nesting.

It’s been centuries since Martin Luther and the Catholics are still selling admission tickets to Heaven.
Indulgences can smooth a load of hurt feelings, and be brokered in a wide variety of formats. Win-win.
