Political Punch

They are playing to win. What's wrong with that?
I like Obama and I will vote for him if he gets the nomination but I also really like seeing a woman play hard ball politics for once.

Why Hillary Clinton is not accepting defeat, even though she knows she cannot win the Democratic Nomination.

She knows she can not win this year, but she is destroying Obama. She is hoping that when Obama gets the nomination of the Democratic Party for 2008, he has been damaged so much that he will lose to MaCain. That way she will have a chance to run and become president in 2012. If she accepts the defeat, with out destroying Obama, and Obama becomes president she has to wait for 8 more years (2016) to run. By that time she will be too old to run and her chance of wining will not be good, especially if she has to compete with Obama’s Vice President. She is not only destroying Obama, but also the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party leaders and super delegates should stop her.

""Guess what? The fact that this National Review writer is normally hostile to the Clintons makes her defense of Bill in this instance more credible not less. Basic principle of logic, law, and one would think, journalism.""

I am going to take that quote and use it next Saturday to wash my hogs.

That's like saying that if Moon's propaganda outlet and right wing mind trainer, the Washington Times, wrote something one liked it would make it a legit news outlet. Just nonsense. Reminds me of reporters/pundits who say that since both sides criticize them then they must be doing something right. More hogwash. Fact is, most times one side is right and the reporter is too stupid or too cowardly or too eat up with his effort to push propaganda to take a stand.

here's a news flash. Hillary made a speech on a future housing plan today in Philadelphia; what's so strange is that it is so similar to the memo Obama sent out March 2007 to Federal Reserve Chairman and Treasury Secretary. Hillary has a lot of gall and what she banks on is the American people not reading...

Clinton slick wording does not fool many people.
He meant what he said, when he described his wife and McCain as two candidates 'WHO LOVE THEIR COUNTRY',..but Obama doesn't.
Since when a candidate of one party praises the opposit opponent's party nominee against his own party's front runner?!
Only the Clintons will do this...keep praising McCain.
McCain is smiling and appreciating the support of the Clintons, who are giving him 'free commercials'.The Clintons don't care about destroying their party chances of winning in Novwember as long as they can have Hillary nominated and crowned.

The master of "the meaning of IS" is Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton is an attorney who learned his trade well, he knew exactly what impact his words would have, and there was no ingenuity in his calculated comments.

Not to worry about Hillary Clinton dropping out. The upcoming fraud trial in California will take care of that. The Clintons are toast.

Guess what? The fact that this National Review writer is normally hostile to the Clintons makes her defense of Bill in this instance more credible not less. Basic principle of logic, law, and one would think, journalism.

Let’s talk about Hillary Clinton’s patriotism. She has named Sandy Berger, a man convicted of taking classified documents from the National Archives as an unofficial advisor to her campaign. Sandy Berger, initially lied about taking the documents, and then said it was a mistake. Ultimately, Berger admitted to intentionally distracting archive staff to swipe 5 classified documents pertaining to terrorist attacks. He also admitted to destroying 3 of these documents. Berger allegedly took these documents to protect the Clintons from damaging information contained in these documents about their role (of dropping the ball) in terrorist attacks. I suppose that Berger’s unofficial role gives her plausible deniability in formally associating with nefarious characters but I can’t help wonder if Berger is receiving unofficial monetary compensations (gifts if you will). Next we can review the donations of Chinese dishwashers, waiters and street stall hawkers (up to a thousand dollars each) to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. Funny how only 100 of the 150 individuals named as donors could even be identified as existing. Furthermore one of the identified individuals indicated he had never given money to Clinton’s campaign. It is puzzling why a dishwasher or waiter would NOT give up to $1,000.00 to Clinton’s campaign. Finally there is her husband’s pardoning of 4 men in New York convicted of stealing 30 million dollars in education aid. This was of course after their religious sect overwhelmingly backed her New York Senate candidacy and delivered her 1400 votes, compared to 2 votes for her opponent. It is amazing Bill and Hillary Clinton haven’t been designated the patriots of the millennium.

Tapper posts this article, including relatively positive defense of WJC, yet also apparently sees a need to post 4 negative links re HRC.

All in all I would have to accept that as "fair", by current media standards and media trends toward HRC. I guess given said trends we should be delighted to get 1 positive comment out of every 5.

Obama outspends her 4-to-1, Media "blasts" her 4-to-1, not bad odds when one is a fighter such as HRC. She just keeps on "dealing" with it, persevering despite the odds. That is one reason I support her. She can weather a storm and still get the job done!

In fact both Clintons are like the proverbial old watches that John Cameron Swayze was alway tying to boats and stuff. Like those watches the Clintons "take a licking and just keep on ticking".

16 arduous years and still standing tall, giving their detractors fits.

You will be much more persuasive if you back up your opinions. If you don't, no one will pay any attention to you.

If you support Mrs. Clinton, know why and say why. If you do not back Obama, know why and say why. No generalities.

Start by reading about them. You will be surprised what you find out.

If you care about character, record and leadership, I expect you will change your point of view.

women who hate Hillary are just green with envy. They feel inferiority so they rather decide her misgivings and frailities over her monumental figure for women who can be as powerful as men. Obama is a mediocre and an insult to the Americans. We should write him off as nightmare so we can move on.

The point that we are all missing about Bill Clinton:

Hillary Clinton has never been able to stand on her own two feet. This race is not her game. Yes, she wants the end power and glory, but it's Bill's game.

She stayed with an abuser who abused her over and over again, because he was the ticket to her ambitions.

I ask all women. Do you admire that? Is that what you want your children to look up to as a role model:

We negate all the strides women have made in the past forty years, if we support a woman just because she is a woman and ignore the troubling underlying history.

Can you imagine Margaret Thatcher, putting aside whether you subscribed to her politics or not, relying on her husband on the campaign trail?

Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton is giving a major policy speech on the economy today.. but who cares... when we can gossip about Bill Clinton.

I tell ya folks, as long as the american people allow themselves to be led around by the nose by the sensationalist media, we will NEVER get any good leaders. As long as we care more about what some comment some campaign surrogate makes, rather than what the candidate is actually saying about the issues.. well, we get what we deserve. More mediocraty and continue on the slow decent out of superpower.

Hello Pennsylvania,

Did you know that Barack Obama will not tax seniors making less than $50,000 a year.

Imagine that!!

I would be sinning against God if I were to vote for Senator Clinton, after going through the long, long list of dirty financial scandals she has been involved over her lifetime.

In previous post "detrators", at bottom, should read "detractors".

Don't know if caused by bad typing or sub-conscious thoughts.

As in, "detrators" equating with "the traitors".

Here's what we have on Obama so far;
1. Lied to the people about the amount he accepted from Mr. Rezko - from $150,000.00 now he is saying $250,000.00
(100 thousand dollars difference).
2. Lied when he said he never heard Mr. Wright preached Racism and unpatriotism to our country then he retracted again and said he heard some.
3. He had his senior economic advisor relay info to a Canadian Ambassador that his rhetoric about NAFTA is nothing but a political ploy.
4. He attended 25 years in a church which preached Racism, bigotism and unpatriotism.
5. He is involved with an indicted businessman Mr. Rezko which the case is ongoing and his name will more likely surface anytime soon.
6. He was caught PLAGRIARIZING.
7. Another bombshell that should come out soon is about his intimate relationship with a man from Minnesota. This man was silenced by DNC, Mr. Axelrod and Mr. Obama himself. ABS should dig deep on this bombshell as well so America will know the facts.
8. Obama and his wife are known to be UNPATRIOTIC americans. Obama refused to patronize the national and pledge allegiance. His wife stated that for the first time she is proud of her country.
9. Obama continues to lie to the American people. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

Read an earlier post that quoted Richardson and others stating:

Obama ,once in a lifetime leader!

I can only respond to such lofty rhetoric with:

Not in my lifetime, Adams! I do not trust him or his backers with this country. President of a large "dreamy", out of sight commune? Cool! I would back him for that!

I personally have a Saviour in my life, and I am pragmatic enough not to need idealistic, vacuous verbiage such as "hope and change" as a guideline for governance.

I trust HRC to bring back sound stewardship!

Good to see some balance here, the media’s Hillary bashing is usually just a little too rampant.
