Carville Says Obama Short on ‘Cojones’
May 04, 2008 11:57 AM
Of the comparable toughness between Sens. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and Barack Obama, D-Ill., Clinton adviser James Carville tells Newsweek: "If she gave him one of her cojones, they'd both have two."
Classy.
(Carville also says Clinton needs to win both Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday. “The onus is on her. She's got to do better than tie. If she wins Indiana and North Carolina, she's the nominee. She's got to shock the system, and she may be shocking it.”)
There sure are a lot of men around Clinton who keep throwing out gonad and gender references to imply Clinton is stronger than Obama, as if strength is an exclusively male characteristic.
A few days ago, as ABC News' Eloise Harper reported, Paul Gibson, the president of a local steelworkers Union Chapter 6787 in Indiana, announced support for Clinton, saying it's "going to take an individual with testicular fortitude" to deal with the nation's problems.
In February, Jack Nicholson announced that "Hillary is the best man for the job."
In relaying this to crowds, Clinton changed this to "real men vote for Hillary."
Linguists are going to look back at this election as a treasure trove.

It is interesting that Obama was born with only one cajone. So when people think he doesn't have the cajones, he literally doesn't. LOL!

But Obama wants to talk to the leader of Iran and ask Ahmadinejad about his feelings.

From the start of this campaign the Obama people and Obama himself have called Hillary terrible names and attempted to vilify and minimize her as an apponent. They have gotten a pass on their constant rhetoric.
Now Obama to take the spotlight of of himself and his association with Wright continues to play this music of painting Clinton as a "do anything to be elected" candidate,
He is the guy who didn't have the guts to tell his minister of 20 years that AIDS was not a government conspiracy, He is the guy that has lied countless times about his own church and what was taught there.
He is the guy that continues to lie about his "other mentor" the slumlord and Obama investor Rezko.
He lacks courage...He lacks integrity...he is a politician as usual...who claims to be something else.
Sometimes the truth isn't pretty but I don't get too outraged at the people who tell it! After all we want a president that can deal with foreign dictators and a stalemated Washington...words won't fix that.
Carville has a history of making controversial statements to make a point.
Point taken

I would never vote for Obama. Obama is a total fraud. He is weak and he is a bumbling, stuttering moron when asked direct questions, which is why he tries hard to avoid any serious questions.
Obama needs a mentor at age 27? What a pathetic person. And he chose REV WRIGHT?
Obama (just like Wright) is nothing more than a pandering opportunist. The guy makes me puke. He "is" a puke. He's projectile vomit being spewed all over the web and the TV and radio 24/7. He's a fake and I will not ever vote for him.
The number of HRC supporters who will NOT vote the Obama Fraud, grows daily.
We will not sit idly by and watch the President be chosen by the MEDIA.
Obama blows.

"Senator Obama as a child ate food that his loving mother bought with food stamps"
Not even OBAMA claims this! HIS claim, of which we haven't heard much lately, was that his "loving" MOTHER, after leaving him with his grandparents, was herSELF on food stamps -- which is extremely unlikely.
What you've posted here, however, is just plain made up.

When Bill Clinton came to the White House in1993, Democrats were a congressional majority, with 258 seats in the House. When he left in 2001, they were a minority with 46 fewer seats. There were 30 Democratic governors, when he arrived, 21 eight years later.
A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll found nearly 60 percent of voters think Clinton is dishonest and will lie whenever she thinks she needs to.

I'm passing all the articles I see about it to all the superdelegates I come across. After her shoddy performance on TW - in a cakewalk 'you're not going to embarrass MOMMY are you little Georgie' setting, it's rather clear what she has two of that starts with 'c'.

Gosh, that's what Obama said about his granny. If you're more than twelve years old and the notion that having b__s makes you cringe, hothourse hustler Obama's your, uh, man. Or whatever.
But notice how robust he becomes when he's talking about subjugating/slaughtering guiltless individuals in Afghanistan. That makes ME cringe.
Sissies tend to sadism -- look at George Bush! Be careful what you wish for.

"Integrity, Honesty"
Especially on mobsters, Bill Ayers, money-laundering, ballot-clearing, and food stamps. Getta grip.

Such vulgar language from a campaign team simply leaves me cringing - certainly not at all ready to vote for Clinton.

Oh, they're ALL "well-versed" in the Constitution. Just gotta have the b___s to live by it, and Obama ... doesn't.

Carville says Senator Obama is "short on [cojones]" what does cohones mean? Anyone know?? Is it male trousers in Spanish?
No, it's b___s in Spanish. To avoid accusations of "racism" (closely followed by accusations of "homophobia"), Clinton's male supporters are stuck with attributing to HER what is manifestly missing in OBAMA's personal/political makeup.
Posted by: Belle Starr | May 4, 2008 5:14:58 PM
Why is it considered okay by ABC censors for posters to cast doubt on Clinton's -- but not Obama's -- heterosexuality? ("Lesbian", "hermaphrodite", etc. are okay to say about Clinton, but for tender candidate Obama, one must even expurgate the plain word "b__s".
Just pretend they're both white guys, and Obama's the wussy one.

Belle, it is the Clinton supporters/endorsers that are talking about Hilliary having "testicular fortitude" and having "cahones". NO ONE ELSE IS. The media is merely reporting on what her supporters say. Carville says Senator Obama is "short on cohones" what does cohones mean? Anyone know?? Is it male trousers in Spanish? Someone, please enlighten me! :)Thanks
Anyway, what they are really saying is that Hilliary is nothing without the testicular fortitude (a male trait) and without the cohones. She is merely a weak caricature of the female species. Methinks they better do some thining before they make such outrageous comments! They backfire! |

Still looking for his absent parents, the tender candidate found, alas, social-climbers Michelle and John Kerry.

Hillary's poor judgment:
1.Urging the passage of NAFTA;
2. Voting to authorize the war in Iraq which so far has resulted in the death of over 4000 Americans and millions of Iraqis.
3. Voting to empower Bush to declare the Iranian Guards as "a terrorist organization; thereby giving Bush the power to declare war on Iran."
4. Having as her campaign manager, Mark Penn, who earned her and her husband over $800,000,00 from the Colombian government for urging passage of a free trade agreement.
5. Threatening to “OBLITERATE” Iran instead of negotiate.
6. Trying to run her own campaign for president.
7. Marrying a sexual predator.
THAT JUST FOR STARTERS; I'LL TAKE OBAMA ANY DAY.

Hillary has nuts alright, and a face to prove she's been in one too many fights.

Its about time somebody had guts enough to say it. Obama is a passive coward. Just what we need in a president. lol
OBAMA---- wimpy, wimpy, wimpy
