According to True Democracy, it is good for politicians to remake their positions according to the political will of the body they’re representing. (Maybe! PoliSci 101 was just boring enough for us to drop the shit out of it and read poetry for four years instead. American Politics is easy enough to figure out by reading like two articles per week and not being fully retarded. And yet…) But according to common humanity, Harold Ford Junior is the embodiment of diarrhea. This morning: “I am pro-choice — have always been since I entered politics almost 15 years ago.” In 2006, when he was running as a pro-life candidate: “Let me say this. No, no. I was not pro-choice at one time.” HAROLD, FOR THE LAST (not really) TIME, YOU ARE NOT BARACK OBAMA. [Eschaton]

He’s adopted position neutrality. Filthy neutral.
Elect me! I can be whatever you want, baby.
He’s always been on the “Pro” side of the argument.
Perhaps he changed his mind after getting all those white wimmins pregnant in Tennessee, or whatever that attack ad told me.
Has he always been light-skinned?
Harold is pro-choice in much the same way that Maude was pro-life.
Good morning Wonkette!

Did any of your eastern US folks feel it?
[re=493541]Radiotherapy[/re]: We’ll need a tooth whitening chart and a modified Jindal Grid™ to answer that question with any level of certainty.
Better watch out or you’ll have to Escape from Guantanamo Bay all over again.
Wasn’t this guy serving me coffee just a short while ago?
American politics is basically the same as poetry, in that it’s a bunch of gibberish and is secretly run by the gays and Jews
Yo yo, what you need? Pot, meth, gay marriage abortions?
[re=493547]Bearbloke[/re]: eh, fewer mouths to feed.
Harold is Pink!…
Harold Ford is truly a man of the people — he just hasn’t decided which people.
[re=493534]ManchuCandidate[/re]: The centre, she cannot hold.
I hate this guy so much, and am so glad he will never, ever represent Tennessee.
You’re welcome, New York! muahaha!!!
If Gillibrand can’t solidly whomp a guy with Village-of-the-Damned eyes who has been sucking the Merrill Lynch teat for the past several years, she probably can’t beat a republican either.
So. He was for it before he was against it before he was for it? Something like that?? WTF???
At least with my PoliSci degree, I can fully understand the political processes under which I and my fellow citizens are being total screwed. Which probably makes it even worse, come to think of it.
[re=493585]AnglRdr[/re]: Word, as you whippersnappers like to say. On the other hand: L’il Bobby Corkhole. Turd.
[re=493587]Birdcrash[/re]: Yes exactly. LOOK INTO MY EYES: YOU ARE GETTING VERRRY…SLEEEEPY…
Dead-eyed soulless pampered egobag narcissism: It’s not just for whitey anymore.
[re=493595]MzNicky[/re]: I forgot about him. He’s easily forgettable. And hate-able.
“YOU ARE NOT BARACK OBAMA.”
but he wrote a `memoir` and dropped the negro dialect. What more do you demand of him?
So many other Fords were somehow more meaningful — Henry the anti-Semite manufacturer, Tennessee Ernie the hick baritone, and of course Mary, who sang so nicely with the late guitar wizard Les Paul. Harry is the most infuriating type in all of politics: a hack wannabe.
Harold Ford Jr. is the ingrown hair on the genitals of American politics.
All that talk of Julia Allison, anti-abortion stance for the ’06 TN Senate race, anti-gay-marriage votes, Ford, Sr., calling Memphis “The Anti-Himey Town”* has us forgetting possibly the most wingnutty position Ford, Jr., has assumed: Social Security bamboozlement. He was the House’s answer to Liebermann’s Senate bamboozlement. Never forget.
*As in ‘opposite of Himey Town’.
[re=493593]BlueStateLibtard[/re]: But wait, I thought there was this huge populist uprising, and that from the Red Hook baseball fields to the ice hockey rinks outside Buffalo, from T shirt-salesman on 125th St. to hikers in the Adirondacks, good citizens across this fair land have begged, pleaded this programmable robot to replace the other programmable robot that they now don’t like so much.
But in reality maybe no one has even heard of this Kristen (Christine? Kirsten?) Girliebrand, or the pathogenic (or is it photosensitive? I forgot) carpetbagger. I guess anyone can cast a procedural vote these days.
[re=493547]Bearbloke[/re]: I still haven’t figured out why God haits Haiti so much. It’s the most god forsaken hell hole in the entire Western Hemisphere, or Northern Hemisphere for that matter. Three-fourths of the world!
The weather is pretty nice, the food (when available) is good and savory, they speak a lovely version of pidgin-French, herbal smokables are readily available to tourists with ready cash. The people are gracious and welcoming if you give them half a chance. Why is this place not Heaven On Earth? Why does all the horrible politics, violence, disease, and now, natural disaster have to be centered in this place, this harmless little island in the Caribbean?
This place almost makes Bolivia look like a vacation paradise in comparison.
Michael Steele: Whitest Negro
Harold Ford Jr.: Whiter-than-whitest Negro
Anyone who has ever watched this guy do the talking head thing on “Morning Joe” can attest to the fact that he comes off like a junior high school debating squad rookie, very eager to praise some point made by others, if the other is in a position to invite him back on the show. His “depth” level makes John Edwards look like a Princeton professor.
[re=493668]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: [re=493547]Bearbloke[/re]: Voodou what ya gotta do.
