Bill Clinton: Hillary Would Be Winning Under GOP Primary Rules
Bill, I suggest that she move to the Republican Party as it is in many ways a better fit for her. But tell the Goldwater Girl that we have no hard feelings toward her. We've known for a long time what she is. posted 04/21/2008 at 17:14:41
Who is Hillary Clinton?
There is good reason for that.
WAR:

but she claims to have opposed it before Obama!
And change? Scaife and Murdock are not stupid. They know why they support her. Do you?
But then there is a very telling tale about Bosnia which had to be exposed -- but if one is used to saying anythinng convenient and expecting to get away with it, ... Doesn't this tell you that (unless she is really delusional) she must be a classic sociopath? posted 04/21/2008 at 23:33:59

Clinton Camp Won't Say How Hillary Disagrees With MoveOn
She hates a lot of things: MoveOn. DailyKos, Mother Jones, HuffingtonPost, BuzzFlash, almost all papers in PA (those not owned by that great Funding and Founding Father of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that she recently joined!) She loves Fox, however.
She hates to tell the truth also it seems. McCain would be better than Bush (not a lot better, but better; it's not hard to beat the worst ever!) posted 04/21/2008 at 17:28:41

Hillary doesn't like MoveOn because it is too anti-Republican. It is even opposed to Republicans dressed as Democrats. Molly Ivins was like that!

Swiftboated or Suckered -- It Still Means Losing
There are too many who would be turned off by a sell o0ut to Clinton after her dirty campaign.
I realize that in the p;rimary the media has p[layed her up. So mujch so that "Bittergate" is equated withy "Bosniagate" as though they were the same kind of thing.
The one began with a true statement with which there was nothing wrong; it was twisted by some spin artists and played out off tune by our fine media.
The other was a stupid lie that almost had to be exposed, but it tells us something very important about the speaker. EDither she is delusional or she is a sociopath. Since she thought it a joking matter when she was caught, I tend towards the latter.
But in the general election, look for Fox, et al, to revert to form and play the Republican way.
Hillary is a loser. (But she will win PA by ten. Scaife iks such a good new found Liberal friend!) posted 04/21/2008 at 23:16:10

Ok, in the "debate" he was asked about an "ASSOCIATE" who had been a Weatherman aand recently said some objectionabler things. Obama responded by saying that he knew the mann but he was hardly an 'associate' and he didn't think thaat he could be held responsdible for the acts 40 years ago "when I was eight" or anything said recently by someone he baqrely knew. Hillary jumped in and said that he did more than just know him, that Obama had served on a board with him. Obama then said that he had indeed served on a board that the former Weatherman,. now a professor, was also appointed to. But that didnn't make them close friends or anything.
And, moreover, in considering that, one might also consider that Bill Clinton pardoned some Weathermen.
So after the 'journalists' hit him with a cvharge she had raised earlier, and he responds dismissinng it as nothing, she tries to make it seem something else; THEN he responds by pointing out her more suspect 'association.' He didn't initiate that, nor even counterattack until he had had repeated hits on it, although he knew that his ammunition was better.
But talking about her lies is more legitimate than her talking about acts by someone he knows. And she not only lied about Bosnia; when caqught she joked about it. In other words, she thinks her lying is OK. That is a legitimate cause for concern. posted 04/20/2008 at 12:50:01

Clinton Faces Steady Erosion Of Support
The contest is to detrermine who is most 'elitist.'
Barack Obama has lots of people like me making small contributions. Hillary Clinton has a few big donors who have been having their way, but now feel compelled to threaten the Democratic Party that any deviation from subservience to them -- and their pet candidate -- won't be tolerated.
Somebody added up the totals and found Obama way ahead. That allowed them to laugh in the faces of those would-be blackmailers.

Obama Going Negative? Mailer Hits Clinton On Trade
No, iLogos, he didn't lie. After Clinton's representative told the Canadians what they wanted to hear, they contacted Goolsbee, who told them that Obama is not against trade but holds that any agreement should have conditions to protect labor and the environment, which NAFTA lacks. Then the Neocon PMO "leaked" a lie to help Clinton. After the voting in Ohio which was won by Clinton with the aid of that lie -- and her fake news report radio ads just before the vote --, the PMO released a statement denying the claim in the leak and admitting that it was false and harmful to Obama. The spins since have been nothing but attempts to muddy the waters, and have affected no voting.
So in sum, a lie was put out to win Ohio for Clinton which, in all probability, she otherwise would have lost. Note that our great MSM trumpeted the lie "leaked" by the Neocon Canadians, but has been as quiet as mice about the correction they issued. But why should anyone expect anything else? By the way, the Canadian public was quite upset by this dirty trick. posted 04/18/2008 at 12:31:06

Byrd made a long journey from a KKK recruiter about 70 years ago to his more recent lonely Senate opposition to the invasion of Iraq because that is not the kind of nation we are. Sadly, though, we were and those supporting it remain unashamed. Clintonistas?

And at home, isn't it time to start living up to our creed?

Someone who likes the Clintons should tell Hillary that the best way to generate a lot of hate is to continue irritating people with lies and petty attacks and a generally false way of depicting the issues.

And the corrections are always so shily ofered after the damage is done, though they were trumpeted full blast beforehand.
There have been many Clinton lies tyhat were unchallenged. Those that werer disappeared from the screen very quickly, but this fake faux pas will be drummed to death.

I am indeed angered, but not by Obama's remarks. I've heard these before. The same analysis is in his book. It is not, as some lying or just plain ignorant, Clinton supporters claim, but an exact statement of the facts. His interaactions with people in Galesburg after the Maytag plant there closed and moved the jobs to Mexico, formed the basis of his discussion.
I am angered at the disagreeable person who can't compete on the basis of her merit, so resorts to twisting, distorting, ans spinning her better opponent's words. She is not at all trustworthy, Didn't she claim to be anti-war before Barack? But shev not only voted for the damned war (and let's not forget such real issues!) but she even voted for more war with Kyl-Lieberman. (But old Joe was her favorite Democrat, until he wasn't one anymore.) She and her DLC fvriends would be more honest if they all went the way of therir great pal Joe.
Please see what Hillary and friends looked like in 2006.

You want Obama;s positions? Read his book. In "Audacity of Hope" he addresses all the issues talked about in this campaign so far (and the book waas written quite a while back), including a discussion of the working Americans who have become bitter at the way our government has let them down, how they fall back on things that give them comfort, like religion or the camaraderie of hunting with friends. It has some verry good stuff in it, like the meeting of Barack and Senator Byrd. I guarantee that you will find the reading worth your while. posted 04/14/2008 at 21:26:21

Our media will still spin Clinton's distortions of Obama's true analysis of the situation. And it is surprising that so few haven't heard it before. He made it on Charlie Rose. He wrote it in his book "Audacity of Hope" and Clinton stole words from that source to present as her own and attack the well spun false take on him.
She is beneath contempt. But she also claims to have opposed the war. She didn't. She voted with her friends, Joe and Joe and Rahm. Molly Ivins called her on it in 2006.

I now live in Central Illinois, which is a lot like Central Pennsylvanis where I used to live. I have a son now living in fly-over Indiana. What Barack Obama said was right on the money. Clinton's complaint about "bitter" is foolish. Would she like it better if he had just said that since they have been lied to so much, they can't believe any promises from our candidates? She doesn't like thas word "cling." Would "hold fast onto" have pleased her more? And how come she is talking so much about church going? She doesn't do it a lot herself. And guns? She can't recall the last time she touched one. And recall that the problem really began with the economy and lost jobs? NAFTA, anyone? And it came to resentment of those taking the jobs. Not a pretty sentiment, but ubderstandable. Rather than complain about bsomeone noticing it, wouldn't it be better to join his effort to lead people away from resentments like that by getting them to see why the jobs left, who were the deciders in that operation, what was involved? The villains are not the impoverished Mexicans who got the jobs lost by Galesburgers when Maytag moved. The voters should see as the villains those politicians who refuse to address the realities of the situation. And especially those who seek to obscure it. posted 04/17/2008 at 14:57:52

Time Mag: How Obama's Mom Made Him Who He Is
In his book, Audacity of Hope" you will get a good insight into Obama. He talks about his experiences as a community organizer, how he got people to talk and suggest ways to solve problems. That is how a good leader works; he first listens. In the book he discusses his views on many subjects, and you can see how he thinks. But the book tells a great story. One of the best parts of the book to me was Barack's meeting with Robert Byrd. Oh, yes, I know that in his youth, Byrd was a KKK recruiter. Doesn't everyone? Isn't it talked about enough? But he is also the man who stood up in the Senate and shamed his colleagues by speaking against the invasion of Iraq, based on who we Americans are, what our nation and its ideals are. It was one of the greatest speeches ever given in our Senate. I heard echoes of that in Obama's speech in Philadelphia on perfecting the union. Anyone can make mistakes, but if we are big enough to see them, we are also able to learn and grow. Obama is a strong person, strong enough to be gentle, and gentle enough to will over those who oppose him. He is strong enough to see the good in others. He can unite us.

Although she opposes the Colombia trade pact, she will probably vote for it in order to maintain good relations with her connections there. And although she dearly loves truth, she doesn't ever want to overwork it, so she seldom indulges herself needlessly in its pleasures. posted 04/09/2008 at 16:20:17

The purpose of a campaign should be to allow the public to know the candidates and choose the one best qualified. Hillary made her pitch and couldn't convince the voters of her merit, so the strategy became to change the subject. Her complaints about the media are ridiculous, and she knows it. But it's the fourth quarter; throw a Hail Mary and hope for an interference call. Good gamesmanship, but poor patriotism.
Still this is par for the course in American politics (sad to say). We are used to it, so there will likely be no overwhelming reaction to it. And McCain is such a weak candidate that the Democratic nominee will likely win anyway.
So, Obama supporters, keep cool. Do as he is doing. Stay focused on real issues. Keep the vitriol low. It is probable that this will make the fall campaign easier for him. Even most two time Bush voters now see the need for a new kind of leader.
When people question his ability to unite us, have them look at his cordial relationship with Robert Byrd. And those doubting the ability of people to change might look at Sen. Byrd himself and read that magnificent speech he gave against our unprovoked invasion of Iraq. (Like Obama's Philadelphia speech, it was reasoned from who we are as a people and a nation.) We all have the ability to grow as human beings -- if we are willing to face facts, reason, and consult our hearts. posted 04/09/2008 at 08:40:53

He is first and forermost a good listener. (That is how he approached his work as a community organizer.) And he knows a heck of a lot about other cultures and peoples.
But, if we get to specifics, there are things Obama doesn't know about, like what it feels like to have a Bosnian sniper shooting at you.
He also knows what Reagan did to our economy. (Someone should tell McCain!)
He was a brilliant law student. He even passed the bar exam on his first attempt -- as most good students do. I was quite impressed with the story of Barack's meeting with Robert Byrd. It was a good scene. It should give all people of good will encouragement that we can change the things wrong with our country by following our traditions, our Constutution, and out ideals. I'd like all those now focussing on small minded divisiveness, to read Byrd's speech against the invasion of Iraq and Barack's speech on perfecting our union, and see where our solutions can come from. posted 04/10/2008 at 12:36:22
Oh, be nice! She's hurting now. Don't rub it in. I have a brother who voted for Bush twice. (That has been hard to forgive!) He now plans to vote for McCain, I'm sure. (He voted in the Democratic primary for Hillary.) But even he realizes who our next president will be. He was visiting this past weekend and the only words about politics were his; when he picked up the morning paper, he said, "Well, there is our next president. I'll agree that he's not bad. We could do a lot worse." Then we talked basketball.
I know a lot of women were hoping Hillary would get in, mainly because of her gender, but most of them now are beginning to see that she is not really the person for the job. The only excuses for remaining blind to that are that she is better than what we've suffered through ffor the past seven years plus, and frankly nobody is ready for everything that can be thrown at a president. Yet when one begins to root for a person in politics or a team in sports, we tend to ovedrlook their flaws and exaggerate their strengths. And then we start believing our exaggerations. So it hurts to lose.
Be generous.
By the way, blue faces are interesting. My wife had one when we were in the high Andes. But she didn't feel good with it and was glad to come down and get more oxygen. posted 04/07/2008 at 15:40:33

Mark Penn Resigns As Chief Strategist For Clinton Campaign
When one resigns from a campaign, he leaves it. Mark Penn is not leaving Hillary's campaign! He, therefore, did notv resign from the campaign. He merely gave up the title "chief stategist" aand wilol now be called her "pollster and adviser" but he will still be there doing his same old thing. posted 04/07/2008 at 09:26:40
Do you mean that it isn't what one is called but what one does that really matters? posted 04/06/2008 at 23:24:08
Patti Solis advised Hillary to get rid of Penn. Hillary got rid of Patti instead!
But even so, when another contradiction is exposed, she hads to dump him, yoo.
But considering all the lies Hillary herself has told, when do you think she should do the right thing and
fire herself? posted 04/06/2008 at 23:19:46

GOP Strategist: Condoleezza Rice Campaigning For VP Slot
OK, Condolezza Rice is intelligent, and she has held a high position in The George W. Bush administration, BUT what has she accomplished that we reaslly wanted done? Who and what have been served by her?
Being a part of DumbDubya's regime is nothing to brag about. It is the worst in our history!
So I fail; to see why anyone should be excited to vote for her.
McCain wants the presidency too badly; for that reason he swallowed the slime Bush put on him in 2000. then campaigned for him. That doesn't giver me any feeling of strength in the man. And all his ideas now are rehashings of Bush and past (unsatisfactory!) Republican programs.
McCain/Rice? Not on your life, (and mine and our grandchildren's and ...)! We need a cure for this madness, not more of the same. posted 04/06/2008 at 22:53:40

Kos: Clinton's "Destructive Coup Attempt" Good For Democrats
I'm an old guy. Many of my friends are on salt free diets. Their doctors warn them away from Clinton's speeches. Too much of what she says can only be taken with a grain of salt. posted 04/08/2008 at 00:21:06
I want people to shut up and let Hillary ccontinue as she will. That is because I think it will be good for Obama! The longer this goes on, the more people will see of both. He impresses people who get acquainted with him. (I wish everyone would read his book "Audacity of Hope" see his ideas for themselves and judge him on them.) But the more people see of Hillary, the leess they like her. Why? Because they can't help seeing her falseness. She lies -- gets caught -- laughs about it! Her parody of dodging sniper fire shouldn't defuse that bomb, but should be itself a bigger bomb. She has no remorse when she does wrong.
The longer this goes on, the more people will be happy to have Barack as our candidate.
One thing I certainly hope to see the end of soon, is the offer to reward Clinton's bad behavior with a VP spot of a SC Justice appointment. This isn't the Mafia. posted 04/06/2008 at 23:06:50

Who Can Beat McCain?
A feared smear campaign? Golly! Do you think that they'll claim that he sired a Black daughter? posted 04/07/2008 at 09:12:27
Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking about!
I may be an old white man, but I am not completely stupid.
I have no trouble with a woman in a leadership role, have had women bosses several times.
But I can judge which woman has the necessary qualifications, can't I?
Take Hillary Clinton. She finished lawschool at the bottom of her class, failed ther DC bar exam. Does this give one confidence that she is as brilliant as some say?
She has been caught recently in numerous silly -- for being so obvious! -- lies. Does that demonstrate the judgment and character one expects in a Supreme Court Justice?
High positions of trust should not be political bribes to stop a troublesome candidate from, acting badly.
Nor should they be filled by unqualified persons for political reasons. That is what has created for us ther present Court, much to the detriment of the nation. posted 04/06/2008 at 22:38:47

Clinton Makes False Claim About Her Iraq Record Vs. Obama's
There is, however, a big flaw in her lying. While she can lie with the same sincerity that she can speak the truth, she is careless about what is easilt known by others.
Her birthdate and the date of Sir Edmund Hillary's Everest climb are known facts. Eventually somebody had to notice that lie.
Her Bosnia sniper fire story had to be refuted sometime by someone viewing the tape of her actual reception. (Those thinngs are always taped.)
And so with all too many other of her lies. A good liar not only sounds sincere but checks that his claim isn't silly or counter to commonly known facts. (Which is why, when I'm at the bar I never claim to have quarterbacked the Giants to an NFL championship.)
So, in my humble opinion, Hillary is a lousy liar. She tells too many without profit, too many easily exposed as false, and too many that sound too much like tall tales. posted 04/08/2008 at 09:06:46

Are you suggesting that those of us on a salt free diet must also avoid listening to Clinton? posted 04/06/2008 at 23:38:28
Hillary has a funny way of opposing things.
Or maybe she is an exception to the statement: "By their fruit shall ye know them."
He war opposition yielded votes for war.
Her NAFTA opposition yielded speaking for it and boasting of it.
Her anti-Free Trade with Colombia yielded an oops with Mark Penn (whom she is keeping around with a different title.)
Her being caught in the sniper lie yielded -- no! not remorse, definitely not! -- a nonfunny parody of it. (Recall Bush looking for WMDs under ashtrays?) Some see typical sociopathic behavior in this.
I probably just don't understand Hillary. With her the old rules do not apply.; posted 04/06/2008 at 23:36:29
