MsLiz's Comments (8350)

“And what if the guns are registered?”

“Sweet!”

“you are right, msLiz, thanks for reminding me.

It seems campaign finance reform, free access to TV for candidates (we own the airwaves after all) and strict LIMITS on how much can be spent by each candidate are our only solution...”

“Darling, with the super delegates my opinion/vote can be overridden by a super delegate... that is the whole point in getting rid of them. I want a direct election of the candidates in the democratic primary. The candidate with the most delegates wins. Is that so strange?”

“I agree.

"Obama would be nobody...." ?

what is that about?

weird.....”

“Not true at all. France, Canada, England, Germany (to name a few) have very vibrant multi-party systems where the major parties must work with the sub (or smaller) parties in order to get things done. As far as I'm concerned, it adds to the civil discourse in a positive way (yes, I lived in Europe for 2 years and followed politics closely, so I know how it works). Instead of Progressives being labeled as the "fringe elements" of the left, we would be the Progressive party that the Dems would HAVE to court in order to pass things. Hell, Republicans may even have to stick a few progressive measures in their bills (when they are back in power) to get things passed. We would at least feel like our voices are being heard a bit more than they are now with the "Progressive Caucus," which feels compelled to cave in to the whim of the Dems just because they currently all have a "D" after their name.

Generalize all you want about other countries' systems, but until you see it in action, you can't understand how beneficial it actually is to Democracy.”

“I wouldn't necessarily agree the most informed are selecting the candidate.
Maybe the best organized campaign floods the caucuses.”

“maybe- but I am done w the electoral college.

And I think this is the thinking behind the Senate's power. I'd like to strip them of power entirely and give it to the House, which still has some sense!”

“Anything that fragments and weakens the party of No works for me.”

“Lemming.”

“I didn't say I disagree with everything. There's not a politician that I agree with everything on so anyone would not meet your criteria. I want someone who understands and can defend their positions with conviction. You can call it inflexibility if you wish. All I know is Republicans voted in Bush in 2000 to stop Clinton's meddling overseas and on a non-interventionist platform. Obama was elected as a "peace" candidate and to bring a more sensible foreign policy to the forefront. Neither are upholding their promises. I want to know where they stand period. Not where they stand the day before the election.”

“No. Just something that is so different that it might shake things up.”

“In the case of the senate, yes. All it takes is one senator to block or severely slow down legislation. Since every single piece of legislation that comes out of the senate is total garbage, having him slow down or block some of it can only be good.”

“It is a CHAIN of steakhouses! You aren't missing a thing!”

“Liz,, It's true that Quitter put her kids and Levi out there as props during the campaign. But after the election, Bristol gave an interview to Greta on Fox. Then remember when she became the spokesman for something about abstinence and did an interview with anybody with a tv camera holding her baby. She's fair game. She put herself out there. But she is delusional if she thinks she is comparable to Kim Basinger or Britney Spears.”

“She should have stayed out of the limelight, instead of doing interviews and public speeches. It doesn't work both ways.”

“Amen Liz. He cracked up the Caddie because there was an incredibly angry woman with a driver in her hands in the driveway. Maybe he should have put sand traps instead of trees in his yard.”
