Hillary Clinton's Idea of Fun...
May 31, 2008 9:07 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper reports: Does standing for six hours in a moving pick-up truck with dirt and wind blowing in your face, waving and waving the whole time, sound like fun? Well according to Sen. Hillary Clinton it was the most fun she has ever had campaigning.
"We went through many cities, and I was so happy to be standing up in the pick-up truck waving at all of the people on the streets and in the cars who were driving by," she said in San Juan, Puerto Rico. "It was the most fun I think I’ve had campaigning anywhere."
Clinton did take a few breaks while canvassing -– but as others began to fade at the end of the long day watching the senator wave to people from the truck, she kept smiling and waving, as the loudspeakers that followed her blasted songs by Ricky Martin and others, with "Hillary Clinton" incorporated into the lyrics.
At the end of the day, Clinton addressed the Mita Congregation, one where a few thousand of people gathered wearing all white.
"I feel very much at home here because I believe that we understand that we are called not to lead just hearers of the word, but doers of the word," she said.
Clinton also expressed her feeling of closeness with this island, saying as she has said frequently: "I am not a stranger to these beautiful islands, nor to the people of Puerto Rico. I am proud to represent 1 million Puerto Ricans in New York. I have also felt as though I was your senator as well as New York’s senator."

TGC,
"Dead-enders", last time I heard that it was coming out of Cheney's mouth and has since been discounted as wishful thinking of a blind propagandist. Of course he was talking about Al-Kai-eedah, but you aren't now equating the 17M+ Hillary supporters as terrorists are you? That seems like something that a Bushie would do.
=======================================
Obama* gets an asterik today, second choice of the majority of officially recognized VOTING Democrats!

Derek,
Better get that grey matter checked. I only have influence over a couple of hundred folks. All that I've spoken with are sitting on their hands as opposed to pulling a lever for either Obama or McCain. Good luck with that General Caucus, I didn't find your insults very convincing.
=======================================
Obama, the candidate for the more arrogant of the zombies!
=======================================

Westie and alpaig
An Interesting Alliance has formed between Clintonites, the Talk Radio Right and the Conservative Elite. These parties and their wingnut footsoldiers form an Axis, I suppose.
All speak the same talking points and share a similar goal. These days it can be virtually impossible to distinguish a Red State Wingnut from a Clintonite by their respective use of rhetoric when reading the comment boards on the internets. Since these groups have combined forces, maybe there is a new group of people who qualify to be labeled as wingnuts. Perhaps they are all wingnuts now.
Right now, we have a new name for this alliance of Clintonites, Wingnuts and Conserva-gensia.
The Big Three are now named:
THE AXIS of the INCOHERENT.
Back to you Westie. Lead your deadenders wisely.

Because my insults aren't directed to you, I'm sure you are a decent person. My insults are directed at hateful inbreds in WY, KY and PA who simply wont vote for someone because of their skin tone. And to the Hillary supporter who had to be removed by force from the RBC meeting hall.
You do what you want in the general election - but if Hillary truly was the better candidate, she would not be in this position.
Posted by: Derek | May 31, 2008 10:41:10 PM
Rush's support for Hillary has been unprecedented. There's definitely something going on there. Same talking points, strategy, low-brow tactics, etc. Hillary should run with McCain, and she would get a lot of support- not!

TCG,
If 51% or more of the people are now classified wingnuts, then wingnuttery is the norm. Doesn't leave much room for the zombies to establish a beachhead. Last time we saw such an election phenomenon was the Gore-Bush election of 2000 and we saw how that turned out. Not a threat on my part, just a passive observation, things do not look so bad for McCain.
=======================================
Hillary in '08 or '12, the lower the number the higher the IQ of the Democratic Party.
=======================================

Man you mean ABC has to put a blog on this geez, so what if she was in the back of a pick up?
ABC needs to go now and try and convince all those angry Hillary supporters out there to buy into this Obama nomination, from what I am seeing in the blogs it not going to be a easy sell.
Looks like McCain will win this GE in his sleep

This was not democratic, it was dictatorial! I watched the whole debate, just as I have followed the whole warped campaign. I listened to Sen Bill Nelson and the passionate words of Sen Joiner and was encouraged, believing that the so called Rules Committee would get it right. I listened to Harold Ickes at the end of the debate, at a loss for words because of the total injustice. By this time I was broken hearted by the travesty of justice, because the decisions have totally negated the rights of the voters. You may think it's unimportant, it's only a primary, but it's a matter of principle! DNC such a shame on you! I hope Hillary challenges this and takes it to the August Credentials Committee, because this has been a total stitch up throughout!

Di its fair just wait for the spin from MSM it is the fairest thing you will ever see from any country in the world, don't you know we are the examplers of democracy.
The DNC could just make up rules, change some, toss out a few delegates, or give a few to Obama now what else can be fairer than that.

Strive. You may yet be able to create wingnutopia.
Say hello to your brothas at red state, too.

Hmmm,
Obama supporters have been calling for hope and unity. All I have witnessed are hate, hate and hate from these people.

Most of these so-called 'Bama supporters are actually Repugnants, trying to rile up Hillary supporters. Take it all with a grain of salt.

"Most of these so-called 'Bama supporters are actually Repugnants, trying to rile up Hillary supporters."
They ARE not. I have debated with Obama supporters in person. One of my wife's colleagues is an ultraliberal who keeps saying we need to send half a million new American college grads to Africa to for five years. Good luck with that. Maybe Mugabe will take them if they are not White since he threw out all the White farm owners. All this liberal Obama lover could say was he didn't like Hillary because she is a bitch.
Obama supporters: do NOT expect many Hillary supporters to support him if Clinton is not nominated. Few in the SWING state can stand him. We will vote for McCain.
Clinton > McCain >>>>>>>> Obama
Posted by: Brent | May 31, 2008 11:52:52 PM
I believe I will stop even reading these posts. I see that the Obama supporters are becoming increasingly hateful, and consistently making noises that if people are not fans of Sen Obama that we are racist or don't want a man of color in the White House. How dare you? Shame on you and your ignorance.
Posted by: shelleyt | May 31, 2008 11:55:21 PM
Brent, I just want to welcome you and all the Hillary supporters aboard the McCain 'Straight Talk Express'. Your support is much appreciated. Anybody but Obama in '08. Obama wants to raise taxes on the wealthy, raise capital gains taxes, end the Iraq war, and fix the health care system. No one really wants that to happen. McCain is the best leader for the country.

THERE'S A CONNIVANCE AND HYPOCRICY INVOLVED IN OBAMA'S DEFECTION. WE CANNOT TRUST THE BLACK COMMUNITY... WE CANNOT TRUST OBAMA... THEY'RE ALL FOR SELFISH REASONS... THAT'S WHY GOD WILL NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN...OBAMA WILL NEVER WIN THE GENERAL ELECTION....GOD WILL NOT LET UNITED STATES OF AMERICA BE RULED BY BLACK HYPOCRITES. THEY WILL VOTE FOR OBAMA HOWEVER BAD HIS RESUME, HOWEVER DIRTY HIS WAYS TO THE TOP AND HOWEVER BAD HIS ASSOCIATIONS WITH DANGEROUS PEOPLE INCLUDING THE ENEMIES OF THE STATE BECAUSE OBAMA IS THEIR OWN KIND. THEY ARE TOO DESPERATE TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN KIND IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE BECAUSE THEIR CAUSE IS TOO SELFISH. IF AA RULES, UNITED STATES WILL BE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY BECAUSE AAs IN GENERAL ARE LIKE WILD ANIMALS UNRULY BY NATURE AND THAT'S A FACT. NOW, UNDERSTAND WHY THE WHITES AND OTHER RACES ARE TOO AFRAID TO LIVE IN ONE COMMUNITY WITH THE AAs.
HILLARY 2009-2012. GO HILLARY!!!!
FACTS: Only the Clintons understand the American economy. Social Security is being paid with money borrowed from China. The USA doesn't make enough money from tax payers the IRS only reports $400 billions a year. The USA owes $40 trillions with interests. There are 1000 billions in a trillion. There is no money for Social Security it has been taken for other expenses.The USA people don't have as much savings compare to the rest of the world. The USA medical system is the most expensive in the world. The oil bought today is paid with money borrowed from China. The world considers China the new empire not the USA. When Mr. Clinton was President the USA was #1 in the world with the strongest economy. The Clintons left $500 billions surplus, a balance budget and the world enjoy peace. We need the Clintons right now, urgently. The Clintons also improved the condition of the Black community. They even gave them better privileges than any other race like healthcare, etc. and most importantly, afforded them the luxury of 230 points added to their SAT because of AA to get into an Ivy League school. Now, where are they? playing the race card. Made an issue on Bill Clinton's statement of truth in South Carolina. Geez, these people just don't now how to pay respect.
