Soooo, let me get this straight *eats popcorn*

[SummerSnow]

The ONLY thing that the GOP "has" to go after Hilary Clinton is that her husband cheated on her in 1995? *sips juice*

[hrmjustin]

1. They are desperate and it really is sad.

Looks like she will beat them by double digits and it is frightening to them.

[Scuba]

2. Well, I'm pretty sure they won't go after her ties to Goldman Sachs. So they got Bills blowjob ...

... Benghazi, and pants suits.


Don't be surprised to hear the words "Whitewater" and "Vince Foster" resurrected in the media as well.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. Well, they've already used up all the other lame reasons.

This is all they've got.

[Initech]

4. And it really makes them look childish and stupid that they're still talking about this in 2014.

[freshwest]

25. It will get the job done:

Because their voting block is 'childish and stupid' but they vote every time while Democrats don't.

[SummerSnow]

29. When she ran against Obama, they never discussed her husband. Now they are...

cause now they are scared

[11 Bravo]

5. They only need to log-on to DU in order to pick up some new avenues of attack.

[Hekate]

11. Oh, I'm sure their little helpers are assiduously taking notes...

.... and have been since 2007 or thereabouts.

Also I'm sure said little helpers periodically chime in here with very earnest questions about her, pro and con, just to gauge reaction and temperature.

[freshwest]

26. Definitely! n/t

[sabrina 1]

13. Well, they can't go after her on all the things they agree with her on, like her support

and theirs, for Bush's Wars. Her support for Wall St. So they have to go for the trivia. There are so many things they are too hypocritical to admit they agree with her on. But we can always remind them, who knows they might even vote for her.

[11 Bravo]

17. Put them on speed dial (just in case they miss something).

[sabrina 1]

19. All they have to do is talk to Rupert, he's very pleased with her.

I'm sure he has her on speed dial. I don't have any right wingers or Big Corps, like Walmart, or Big Banks on speed dial and wouldn't even if I could. But I'm sure Hillary does, I'm sure most of our politicians do.

But we have to keep up the illusion that we have two parties, one of which is supposedly NOT the Corporate party?? Which one, a lot of people are wondering.

[msanthrope]

37. You Better Believe It! nt

[unblock]

6. have you met the republican party? they're just getting warmed up.

they'll be blaming hillary for 9/11, the great recession, the polar vortex, and a bad flu season before by the time she's elected!

[SummerSnow]

23. They are probably blaming her for Miley Cyrus twerking meltdown too.

[shenmue]

7. Yeah

Zoiks.

[Warpy]

8. Gotta love that stench of flop sweat

when it's theirs, not ours.

I hope Clinton isn't the nominee. I'll vote for whatever stiff the party gives us in 2016, but if it's Clinton, I'll grumble about it.

Oh, I don't give a flying fornication about her marriage or her husband. She's just too conservative.

[libodem]

21. You got it!

Booyaw.

[Hekate]

9. Yup. Pass the butter.

[cali]

10. not why they're doing it, I don't think

I think it's a not very subtle reminder that the clintons come with a lot of drama.

[Mika]

12. What about (((gasp))) WHITEWATER & VINCE FOSTER???!!11111!!!11111 n/t

[spanone]

14. they should remember that regardless of what bill did, the country likes him.

[lpbk2713]

15. Use extreme care while eating popcorn.

People have been shot while doing just that.

[Orsino]

16. It's one of the few things she's done with which they disagree.

And she didn't even do it.

I wish Clinton would push some policy they really hate, so that their rage would focus on the real world.

[libodem]

22. Pretty sure she would be their dream candidate

If they were not so purely partisan. She out Republicans the Republicans on most issues. Heads they win tails we lose.
My mom was so devoted to her. When she ran in 08 mom would say it will be like getting Bill back. And she meant it.

[VanillaRhapsody]

28. Proof please....

link that PROVES without a shadow of a doubt that HRC is to the Right of Bill Clinton please....

(btw...just because everyone says it...doesn't make it so....just like ONE issue doesn't)

[Orsino]

35. She would be the GOP's dream opponent in at least one way.

In that the Right would know exactly how to campaign against her: in the same goddamned outdated ways they always have, that completely miss any points in any way relevant to the actual quality of life of anyone any voter might care about.

Limbaugh could just rerun two years of shows.

This could work out as a net positive.

[VanillaRhapsody]

36. Oh really? You have proof of that contention?

[Orsino]

38. See, you're talking about real-world issues...

...and I'm talking about hidebound GOP campaign strategist/consultants who preach recycled nonsense to the same ever-shrinking choir.

Apples and oranges.

[VanillaRhapsody]

39. No I am talking about the TRUTH not a MEME!

this meme is bullshit.

[Orsino]

40. That was more or less my point, too. n/t

[VanillaRhapsody]

41. Okay I misunderstood then...thanks!

[sheshe2]

32. Nah...

They will only hate her cause she is a woman.

Warning*** Egos at stake!

[Earth_First]

18. That had better be stovetop popped kernels...

and white grape juice you're enjoying.

[okaawhatever]

20. They'll reserve whatever else they're going to use or make-up for later. Specifically, October

before the election. With the bought and paid for media I can assure you you'll know everything she's ever done wrong.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. They can't very well go after her for supporting and voting for Bush's war.

Fortunately, we Democrats can.

[VanillaRhapsody]

27. They've already tried and failed at all the others already....it was the only thing left!

[donco]

30. Kinda makes me wonder

what proportion of the balanced budget/surplus do they attribute to her presence then? Should change the name from repug to mad hatter party .

[WhaTHellsgoingonhere]

31. Yeah, she's much more vulnerable to an attack from the left

[CatholicEdHead]

33. They are also hoping for pavolian responses from voters

after 20+ years of Clinton bashing. They hope they have conditioned enough people to burst out in endless rage at the word Clinton.

[KentuckyWoman]

34. No they also have the fact

she wears a larger size than she did in high school.
