Clinton - Page 2

richlevy · 04-01-2007, 07:16 PM

You know, I'm not really supposed to be telling anyone here this, but I just heard from a friend in the Clinton campaign. There is a better than 50/50 chance that Hillary will declare Bill her vice-presidential running mate.

For the past two months they've quietly had lawyers looking over the 22nd amendment. Obviously, there is nothing in there preventing a president from running for vice president once the term limits are up, but they had to look beyond the amendment to challenges on the intent of the amendment.

At this point they're weighing the pros and cons. On the con side is the possibility that Hillary will not be perceived independent from Bill, that she will be seen as a puppet. This is similar to the musings on the left about GWB's relationship with Cheney.

On the plus side is the possibility of satisfying conservatives who would not be comfortable with a 'male first lady' as well as moderates and liberals who would love to see Bill Clinton retake an official role in foreign policy.

On a public relations front, with Bill traveling overseas on foreign assignments, the couple could show legitimate reasons for separation due to job roles, freeing them from having to maintain a residence together and again from allegations of Hillary being manipulated by Bill.

From what I hear, they intend to declare in the fall. Right now they are reviewing other candidates as a backup and to provide cover, but it's pretty much a done deal. I probably shouldn't even post this, but I can't keep it in. Fortunately, the Cellar doesn't get many hits on any threads besides IOTD, so it should be safe enough to post it here.

He's back.

April's fool!

Bruce, permit me to correct you: Bush is dangerous to the fascists and the undemocrats.

Now into which of these camps do you fall? They suck equally, so the choice is entirely up to you.

But you could have chosen so much better. For God's sake, man, you could have thought like me -- and actually supported the Republic's true interests. And for starters, you must not scream at me about how Bush is awful for the environment or something -- because he's really not doing anything at all to speak of to or about it. He's not playing the busybody -- the actions of the Bush Administration do not support the idea that the Bush Administration is degrading the environment. Bush is busy elsewhere, being dangerous to fascists.

She's polling a distant 3rd (behind Edwards and Obama) on the extreme left-wing terrorist-sympathizing baal-worshiping baby-eating liberal blog Dailykos. Every month sees her lose more support with her pandering.

Undertoad · 03-18-2007, 02:49 PM

Worse than that - running fourth at dkos, and also on mydd.com, behind Richardson's third.

Says it all, doesn't it?

It's the not-real people who support this Saul Alinsky disciple.

The real people yearn for a Democrat who could both win an election and win the war on terror.

Looks like they can whistle for him, and frankly pinning their hopes on a Democrat to behave in the Republic's interest is pinning the tail on a donkey that isn't there. And isn't there for us, either.

People who are realer yet are looking for warfighters, inasmuch as we are engaged in a war. Dumbass Dems are avoiding seeing that.

Trilby · 03-21-2007, 08:34 AM

Well, we all know candidates never, ever side step direct questions OR pander to every group out there. She's the first.

TheMercenary · 03-22-2007, 04:15 AM

She will not make a good president. I would love to see her defeated in the primaries. I will not vote for her.

Urbane Guerrilla · 03-31-2007, 01:45 AM

If I lived in New York, I could have the satisfaction of voting against her -- often.

Really, I don't think I'm voting for a Democratic candidate for the remainder of my life, after the shit they're pulling.

What "shit" might that be?

Isn't it shitty that the whole of the Democratic Party's foreign policy is the giving of aid and comfort to our nation's violent, and shooting, enemies? I've said before the Dems would behave in a manner either stupid or treasonable, and they are managing both. (For treason, see Art III, Sec. 3.1, US Constitution.)

Didn't you fucking notice that? Better check the prescription on those spexx. You are seriously purblind.

I say things for a reason. If you cannot grok that reason, the deficiency lies with you, chum, not me.

I do not trust the Dems to keep the Republic. That they belie their own name by ceasing to press for democracy in places it's not been allowed by the ruling elites is simply beyond understanding -- except in postulating that the Dem Party mostly is not very bright, and has developed tacit fascist sympathies which now rule their every move.

The yatterers for impeaching the President are similarly ill founded. It is not a high crime nor a misdemeanor to try to win a war -- one started by others, I'll have you acknowledge. Do not the Democrats carry on as if they believed it was? Yes they do. Yet even the Dems aren't stooping to the impeachment foolishness. That's for the real political mad-cow cases.

What might that be, indeed! Spexx, I require you to be not so lame of brain. Can you meet that requirement?

Just like Rush Limbaugh propaganda presented daily on the radio to the brown shirts. Don't bother with reality. Just insult and mock those who bothered to learn before posting.

Everyone knows one need not learn before knowing everything. And when that does not work, rewrite history. It's classic Limbaugh logic.
