Hillary Get Your Gun

Ask yourself, would you rather go duck-hunting with Hillary Clinton or Dick Cheney? While the vice president might shoot you in the face, Hillary would plaster your backside with buckshot.

With Obama always visible in her campaign's sniper scope, she has never hesitated to pull the trigger whenever she recognized weakness or opportunity in her rival. Because of a careless yet fundamentally truthful remark Obama made at a private San Francisco fundraiser on how disgruntled working class folks "cling to guns and religion," Hillary immediately went into lock-and-load combat mode.

Listening to Hillary prattle on about her lifelong commitment to firearms and gun rights, you'd think she spent weekends with the late Charlton Heston and his hunting lodge pals.

Granted, she has had more experience being around guns than former GOP presidential nominee and occasional varmint-chaser Mitt Romney, but I have trouble picturing Hillary in full camo, hiding in a tree blind, sipping Jack Daniel's from a flask, while waiting for a 12-point buck to show itself.

The only deer she wants to slay is Obama. Sorry, Maureen. Obambi.

To his credit, Obama fired right back at his opponent while speaking to a crowd of supporters in Scranton, Pennsylvania. "She is running around talking about... how she values the Second Amendment. She's talking like she's Annie Oakley."

Let's call this unfriendly fire.

By the time of the Democratic national convention, expect both candidates to be packing dueling pistols.

You either had to laugh or pinch yourself in disbelief when Clinton cynically denounced Obama's guns 'n god comment as "elitist and divisive." Come again? With her and Bill claiming over $100 million in income since 2000, she expects voters to believe that she's Ms. Blue Collar channeling Dennis Kucinich?

If anything, her campaign has been elitist and divisive right from the very start. She felt entitled to the presidency and will do anything and say anything and be anyone in hopes of moving back into the White House.

Yet Hillary and Bill keep shooting themselves in the foot as her battle-weary campaign limps on. Since she doesn't respect the value of surrender in the face of imminent defeat, she's acting more like a kamikazi pilot hell-bent on wrecking the Democratic party in her cockeyed pursuit of personal glory.

She also told this whopper at a press conference, "Senator Obama has not owned up to what he said and taken accountability for {the remarks}...what does he really believe?" When she's on the attack, she becomes as odious and unsavory as any weaselly Republican operative who still thinks Rove walks on water and Bush is infallible

Hell, if Hillary really wants to show the world what a great good-ole-boy gun lover and patriot she is, how about traveling to a forward-operating base in Iraq? Go mano a mano with a Moqtada militia sniper--and perhaps put to rest the tissue of lies surrounding Bosnia?

Because what does Hillary really believe in apart from winning? No one really knows anymore, except that she is determined to keep firing away at Obama until she runs of bullets and the public runs out of patience with her offensive behavior.

Excuse those of us whose urban communities are plagued by weapons fire and dead children to be too busy grieving over their loss than to grieve over the gun rights of a minority of persons which might be lost through more efficient gun control.

That is a truth which is, yes, bitter.

Hillary Clinton is for glorifying guns, cluster bombs, an ammendment to the constitution against flag burning, lobbyists as real americans, helping poor credit card companies, giving a bonanza to insurance companies under the guise of her healthcare plan and many other progressive ideas. She may have to form her own third party to the right of both the democratic and republican parties in order to realize her dream of a completely neocon america.

PART I
Posted minutes ago on ABC NEWS " and do not give me any guff about it being on ABC news " there are more Hillary warmongers over there then any blog I have seen:
Barack Obama has knocked down one of the three tent poles of Hillary Clinton's campaign for president, surging ahead of her as the candidate Democrats see as most likely to win in November. He's challenging her on leadership as well, leaving only experience as a clear Clinton advantage in the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

On the eve of their debate before the Pennsylvania primary next week, Democrats by a 2-1 margin, 62-31 percent, now see Obama as better able to win in November -- a dramatic turn from February, when Clinton held a scant 5-point edge on this measure, and more so from last fall, when she crushed her opponents on electability.
T
he poll finds other pronounced problems for Clinton. Among all Americans, 58 percent now say she's not honest and not trustworthy, 16 points higher than in a precampaign poll two years ago. Obama beats her head-to-head on this attribute by a 23-point margin.
The number of Americans who see Clinton unfavorably overall has risen to a record high in ABC/Post polling, 54 percent -- up 14 points since January. Obama's unfavorable score has reached a new high as well, up 9 points, but to a lower 39 percent.

Part II
There are other strong signs of the toll of the long Democratic campaign. The number of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who describe the tone of the contest as "mostly negative" has risen by 14 points since February, from 27 percent then to 41 percent now. Those who say so mainly blame Clinton over Obama, by nearly a 4-1 margin, 52 percent to 14 percent.

The candidates are at or near dead heats in trust to handle a range of issues, including the economy, the war in Iraq, international trade and terrorism. Clinton's lack of a significant advantage on these, despite her wide edge on experience, is another challenge.
Obama, meanwhile, has largely succeeded in moving past the controversial comments made by the former minister of his church, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright; 59 percent of all adults, and 72 percent of leaned Democrats, approve of the way Obama has distanced himself from Wright. (Nearly half of Democrats, however, are concerned the Republicans will use the Wright imbroglio effectively against

Obama if he is nominated.)
Does the controversy over Obama's remark calling some voters "bitter" seem to have hurt; his favorability rating, though down from January, lost no ground across the nights this poll was done (Thursday through Sunday) as the issue gained volume.
