Oh, please. Give me a break.
First off, Hillary has said NOTHING that horrible or that divisive or that destructive to Obama. While the 3am commercial was obnoxious, so was Barack's Harry and Louise ad which he copied off of Newt Gingrich. Secondly, in case if you guys haven't noticed, in the VERY FEW issues in which they actually disagree, like National Health Care and Nuclear energy Hillary is MORE liberal than Barack. Thirdly, if the Democratic party can be "knee capped" by a primary fight then it was already hobbled to begin with. Finally, i consider it pretty ironic that the man is running on unifying the nation while at the same time doing everything he can to disenfranchise two large states. Who else won by disenfranchising Florida voters? Oh yeah, George Bush. But i guess so called "progressives" don't mind people being disenfranchised as long as their guy gets the benefit of this. ![]() |

i also find it ironic that she signed the pledge to strip delegates from those states who blatantly broke the party rules - and then conveniently re-nigged on that pledge when it became apparent she'd lost the primary elections in a desperate (and futile - even WITH those states) attempt to drag out her inevitable funeral.

Any mother-fucker who wants to expand or open government, in every possible, as much as possible, can go ass-fuck a razor-blade. If there is good reason to expand or open or increase (or the 'conservative' converse), than fine. Otherwise, these words are nothing more than meaningless political terms, used for no other purpose than coercion. |

You have to give yourself a break from ignorance.
Quote:
You are correct. What Hillary has said has not been "inane" it has been dishonest and ignorant. The 3 am commericial was not "obnoxious" it was absurd. It was an insult to the intelligence of the voter who is a smarter than to think that Hillary is sitting at a desk at 3AM fully dressed and in pearls. More importantly it was premised on a lie. It suggested that Hillary has experience she DOES NOT HAVE! What is EXTREMELY revealing about Hillho people is that they always criticize the healthcare ad by comparing it to the Harry and Louise ad. IN ALL THESE YEARS---they have not figured out that the problem with the Harry and Louise ad was NOT that a husband and wife were sitting at a kitchen table trying to figure out what to do with their families future. THE ONLY problem with the Harry and Louise ad was that it successfully pointed out the mangled bureaucratic mess that Hillary had created. PERIOD. It trumped a deception that Hillary was trying to sell the American people. That is ALL. Similarly, Hillho fans are frantic about the Obama ads because point out the sloppy ineffectual cursory mess that Hillary is trying to sell now. And no Hillho supporter has even TRIED to defend that. They relie on a negative impression of the Harry and Louise ad---that is lame! Quote:
It also amazes me just how dependent Hillho people are on maintaining the pigeon holes of the repuke party. Were you thinking that "liberal" was somehow intrinsically embued with some positives for those in the Dem party. How insulting! Quote:
Moreover, if the Dem party were solid as steel with no issues whatsoever this would still provide NO argument for Hillho's inappropriate behaviors. What sort of back assed, fucked up argument is it that if you shoot a man in a wheelchair and he dies you should not be considered a murder because he was already crippled? What kind of mind satisfies itself with such abyssmal excuses for behavior as this? What voter looks for a candidate who lives up to the LEAST of the ideals of a society? And actually argues that being the LEAST should be rewarded? Quote:
Only on two occasions in 20 years has FL voted in a primary before the candidate was selected. Where was Hillary? Does she not know this? Are we suppose to believe that she cannot read or google? Florida could have chosen to maintain it's date in this primary season and their votes would certainly have been important this time. They wanted to get a larger share of the income that accompanies the early campaign dates. Unfortunately, it seems that 2000 gave them some sort of imperilistic sense that they were critical to process. So much so that they should be given some sort of special place in it. WRONG! Florida has only been Dem in the general twice in 32 years! 1976 and 1996. The Dems in that state have been repeatedly unable to deliver for the party. Quote:
What does George Bush add to the merit of your argument? This is a attempt to use a negative association of concepts in hopes that the anti-Bush fervor will win your argument. It is demoralizing to see people in this party stooping this low. If Hillary had an ounce of decency she would not have led her voters down such a ridiculous path with nothing but bullshit to rationalize their assertions. If Hillho supporters had more personal integrity they would not have followed her once they realized that she had no merit to her position. Last edited by RK77; 04-19-2008 at 10:28 AM. |

Hippy - liberal
Hippy - liberal Dirty hippy - liberal 9/11 - Iraq 9/11 - Iraq 9/11 - Saddam It's the same stupid trick. They connect two things that have nothing to do with each other, so they can control you. 'Don't vote for liberals, or the whole country will become dirty hippies... including you. Vote conservative and you'll have a nice car, you'll be good-looking, and you'll have lots of dates with attractive people.' |

Three words: umbrella of deterrence Two words: exponential Surge Not to mention her October 2002 vote to give President Bush the authority to bomb Iraq, never mind how she and her one supporter insist upon spinning it. Everyone else who voted Yes in October 2002 takes responsibility for his/her vote. Not Hillary Clinton. Last edited by HarperLee; 04-19-2008 at 12:11 PM. |

Now it's true that Hillary did state that Michigan delegates wouldn't count, however she was just as wrong to comment on it as Barack Obama. The fact of the matter is that by emphasizing meaningless RULES over meaningful votes you and my fellow "progressives" have become one with Antonin Scalia. Enjoy your company. Furthermore, the "wishes" of the voters in Texas and Nevada were overturned by the method of counting the votes in Nevada and the caucus system and the method of counting the votes in Teas and I don't see any Obama supporters crying foul about that. So basically the way it works is this: The DNC uses THE RULES to disenfranchise 2 million + voters = That's the way the game is played. Hillary Clinton uses THE RULES to woo the superdelegates (of course, i'm sure sainted Barack has never made one phone call to the superdelegates) and thats = A MORAL OUTRAGE! Barack Obama wins Texas and Nevada despite losing the popular vote in both those states and that = That's the way the game is played. Hillary Clinton points out that "Hey, doesn't the fact that he won the caucus and lost the popular votes prove beyond all doubt that Caucuses don't necessarily reflect the hallowed "will of the people" and that = A MORAL OUTRAGE. Now don't get me wrong, with the exception of the Florida and Michigan debacle Obama supporters are completely right. These were "the rules" going in and Hillary and her campaign were a bunch of dumb asses for not having a strategy to win the caucuses past Super Tuesday. Their "strategy" seemed to of been whining about it after the fact. Yeah, they're not all that democratic, but it's too late now. However, for the most part, you don't see too many Hillary supporters whining about Texas or Nevada or the Caucuses. Not so with Obama supporters. When a RULE disregards the "will of the people" and helps obama it's the way the game is played, but when a rule disregards the "will of the people" and helpls hillary it's A MORAL OUTRAGE! So basically Obama supporters don't give two shits about "the will of the people" they simply want their guy to win. Fair enough. But stop being so damn sanctimonious about it. |

Nope, that's not a supporter but the communications director for the Clinton campaign. Or is this further sore loserism?
