Oh, Dan, if only we could.

But since we can't: VOTE OBAMA!

HEY SLOG STAFF!

You guys are all posting the same things. Perhaps you should pause for a staff meeting.

@2 - Someone else already made that comment on another post. Several times. You might want to coordinate.

I know, right? I've missed Bill all these years. Always loved him, skirt-chasing and all. His DNC12 speech is going to be in poli-sci textbooks for years.

Romney: shameless liar, committed job outsourcer, inveterate crazy religionist, unrepentant speed user, unconvicted tax evader, fake human. Right up the Republicans' alley.

If only we could, if only we could. He'd win by a landslide, even after MonicaGate.

I think this is a good way to phrase the issue: "If Donald Trump knocked on your door and asked you to just give him $2,000.00 every April 15th, would you hand it over? If so, vote for Romney. If not, vote for Obama."

A bit cheap, maybe, but consider the tactics we have to contend with, what with Republicans saying they plan to "lower taxes" and conveniently not mentioning that most Americans will not, in fact, experience lower tax rates.

I'm a big Bill Clinton fan, but don't forget that he oversaw the passage of DOMA and the final repeal of Glass-Steagall. He ain't perfect.

@8 I love it. You conservatives are such babies. Clinton did everything you want but are too stupid or malevolent to accomplish: balance the budget, rein in spending, keep America working.

You can throw your poo-poo at him all you like, but Clinton was a great president. And no matter how hard you try to white-wash it, Bush was the worst president in over a century. He was absolutely pathetic, and you idiots want to elect his clone.

Why do you hate America?

Shit - if he taught economics at a university, I might actually understand all of it. He makes more sense of it in 2 minutes than some of my professors did in a full semester.
