Trippi: "Biggest Blunder I've Seen" Is Clinton's Campaign Strategy

He worked some of that Howard Dean campaign magic on him, that's what.

Say what you will about Joe, but at least he's consistent.

If they aren't proud of this country and they're so rich, you'd think they move to (*gasp*) FRANCE! But no, instead they have to go and run for president and try to "fix" things...

Of course the President who is VERY proud of the USA!! - I know, because I have seen his lapel pin in many photographs - is a far greater American than any of the candidates in the running. And Lord knows, thing's are so great right now under a proud American president who is SO proud of his country that he's bankrupted it by giving no-bid contracts to his well-connected buddies, letting good American jobs skee-daddle overseas, and sending our proud American kids into the Jaws of Hell so he could have a "successful presidency" as he once put it.

But hey man, it's all OK! Because you know ol' George even wears that flag on the lapel on his pajamas, proving for all time that he is a far greater patriot than those disgusting, craven candidates who only show their love of country by wanting to make it better.

Go USA!!

Feh.

Would you be more at home with candidates with similar bios who pledge to continue the current program of senseless wars, looting the public treasury, and spying on citizens?

Fercrissakes.

Success doesn't bind one to selfishness or to the kind of blind wrapped-in-the-flag patriotism of jingoistic warmongers. Warren Buffet has come out against Bush's tax policies. George Soros (Oooh, I know that makes your teeth grind,) is a billionaire and supports Democratic causes. It is not a given that Republicans are the best bet for successful people.


No one ever challenges Republican theories of economic prosperity. It turns out that the average annual change in Real GDP during Republican administrations was 2.8 percent while the annual change in Real GDP during Democratic administrations was 4.4 percent. The overall average was 3.5 percent. A statistical test indicated that the chance of obtaining this result due to random chance was nine out of 1000. One way of interpreting these numbers is that the average business can expect an average increase in output above inflation of 2.8 percent during Republican years and 4.4 percent during Democratic years.
Go back to Rush Limbaugh and listen to what you want to hear. You don't seem able to entertain contradictions inside that tiny cerebellum.

Another dim wit Republican. Where in the he!! do you think Mc Cain sleeps? Or on top of who for that matter.

And the Clintons love America and are very proud to be Americans.

Well, "Strong," that "brief bio on one pair" certainly is impressive; sounds like your talking about a Republican, which is why I'm surprised it should so distress you. And your assertion that "all four are not proud of the USA and believe that the USA is seriously flawed" ... and "there is a flaw. It's allowing such ingrates to be so successful."

That's muscular stuff, Strong. Moral/political reflections of what your country's done or is doing or the course it's about to take -- weakness, damn it. Cheers to you, Strong.

I bet your heart skips a few beats just hearing, "We are the greatest people on earth, and we are the greatest country on earth!" Oh, you know that quote -- because everyone American politician from a small town mayor to a presidential candidate tosses it out like read meat to a pack of starving dogs.

I guess it's because we're a very insecure, delusional people, and we need to be told how great we are over and over and over.

Needless to say, other nations don't know how to take this. Either we're rabid imperialists or just a pathetically insecure, delusional, but ultimately harmless comatose giant.

And if you're convinced that the only American "flaw" is "in allowing such ingrates to be so successful," then you really are obligated to clean up this mess. How 'bout a prison for political dissidents? Throw Clinton and Obama in there for starters, then anyone who comes to mind.

Strong, with all due respect, you'd make a fabulous Fascist. But then you already are, kind of. Just buying into the neoconservative rant makes you one.

I wouldn't be throwing the ego card so carelessly. Clinton started with a huge advantage and screwed up totally. $95,000 on sandwiches is a bit foolhardy, don't you think. And with all the money and party support she blew state after state. Now, she is left with divisiveness and mockery and anger. I doubt anyone could run for president without a healthy ego, but really, what makes you think that another war will drive the 70% who think Iraq was a mistake into the arms of Oedipus Bush?

Another paid republican shill... or is this another one working for Hillary?

Hey wait! On late Edition Sumday Republican Chuck Hagel of Nebr. said this; The new president needs to engage with foreign country's like cuba an Iran. Following Senator Obamas words that change don't happen unless you talk and reach out to world leaders. That it's nonesense to say we can't trade with cuba------we are now tradeing with two other communilst country's of china and vietnam. cuba would like to export millions of dollars of our food we grow in our fields off our farms. We can use those Millions of dollars because Clintons out sourceing through the Nafta program with china has caused us thousands of American job an and thousands of dollars. Ans she can't argue that with Mccain-------but he can use it against her in this Election to cause us to lose this election again to some one who wants to keep us in Iraq 100 more year. Obama can use that against Mccain in the upcomeing election--------but once again with Hillary voteing for this war---Mccain will turn it against her. You have to look who will unite our Gov. and not Divide it. Republican Senator Hagel shows where thier heart is and it's not behind the words of Mccain or Clinton. It's along the same lines of Obama and what he wants to astablish and accomplish.

I was just going to say that...but give the guy a break. Corporate dollars backed off Edwards.

Funny, Trippi, never associated with winning anything, doing campaign analysis. Whose next, Donna Brazile?

Thank you for crediting Governor Dean for his insistence on a 50-state strategy plan when he took over the DNC in 2005. And who told Dr. Dean that such a strategy was 100% foolish? Former DNC chair Terry McAuliffe, now Senator Clinton's strategist.

What Dr. Dean realized, and Senator Obama has built upon, is that Americans want to be Americans together. They have not liked being divided into Red States and Blue States nor their backgrounds isolated and targeted into voting blocks like soccer moms and NASCAR dads. Dr. Dean realized in his 2004 presidential campaign that the Internet would bring like-policy-minded people together and that this would prove that states are not all red or all blue.

Senator Obama brilliance was in recognizing Dr. Dean's premise: take a common sense view of Americans' character trait of traditional, intrinsic common sense and create a campaign that includes all Americans in every state and makes a point of recognizing, and appreciating, the American founding principles of common sense and good will toward all.

And President Hillary Clinton....Oh, wait....

Who is this ass and why does anyone give a shit about what he thinks?

Gary Hart:

Follow me media I don't screw around. The media did and what was Gary doing and where was he doing it? The dumbest guy to ever run for president. Almost.
