Has Hillary Clinton actually SAID that she is running for President?

[PlanetBev]

I can't believe that anyone is their right mind would deliberately put them themselves through this. After what she went through in White House, all the horrible books written about her and the constant drumbeat of slander, why would she put her family through this? And why doesn't she sue this dickwad, Ed Klein?

Isn't this all just a right-wing wet dream? These maniacs have their heart so set on increasing their hatred for her that if Hillary doesn't run, they would all suffer a meltdown.

1. For the purposes of the present witch hunt

It doesn't matter whether she's running or not. Uppity women must be crushed or the repressive right loses, the terrorists win, and everyone gets more cavities.

3. They blame Bill and Hillary for everything

Rained-out baseball games, lost luggage, crab grass and bad breath.

I can't stand this shit anymore.

4. You forgot

moldy grain, sour milk, and hailstorms.

6. Bunions, corns and the heartbreak of psoriasis

Anything else?

[janx]

2. Of course not!

But that doesn't matter. Rush and the rest of the media know better than she does. ;-)

5. By the way, Janx

Cute puppy...

9. He's five years old now!

And his sister is coming to visit this weekend--we're ready for some rough and tumble weimaraner antics!

I love seeing other people's dog pics as well.

10. Good natured dogs, for sure

When I was three years old, I remember coating the next door neighbor's Weimaraner with mud. Don't know why, just the creativity of a three year old, I guess. Fabian just stood there and took it.

And now, back to Hillary...

7. NO, she has not.

8. A "potential" Hillary run is more politically potent than a declaration

for both sides.

The Repugs can use it as fodder and pull in lots of contributions without having to actually do anything except throw around "lesbian" (feminist) innuendo.

The DLC can hold her up as the kind of candidate that the party SHOULDN'T have, paving the way for a more pro-military candidate to be acceptable.

All this is very sad because Mrs. Clinton is far brighter than most of her opponents, and, I think, far more capable.

11. She is DLC

The Clintons were the quintessential "New Dems".

[Spectral]

13. I understand that. That doesn't prevent the DLC from using her

for purposes of their own.

Mrs. Clinton always had a more progressive profile than her husband. The fact that she has to "move to the center" by making nice with neocons is an indirect proof of how ingrained that profile actually is in the national consciousness. By contrast, her husband was seen as more of an opportunist. Even Limbaugh found it convenient to blame the national healthcare agenda ("socialized medicine") on Hillary as opposed to Bill.

I don't put the DLC above waving around Hillary Clinton as a threat, even though she is one of their own.

14. Currently they are promoting her as much as rget can without

aggravating Bayh (another DLC potential candidate) and Max Warner (a third one)...

It seems the DLC is not short of candidates for 2008. May be they should hold their own primary before the Democrat primary.

12. President Clinton admitted the other day it was Rove's DREAM...

On one of the talk shows.

To me, that about summed it all. :shrug:

Holding out on a firm response right now is all "political maneuvering"

As the 2006 NY Senate elections draw closer, residents will continue to demand that she promise them a full term.

I think she will give them that promise.. but not yet. All the Hillary speculation is too much fun for Hill & Bill. :rofl:

They're not stupid.. They know Republicans are drooling over a Hillary run.

You seriously think they'd want to hand Rove his dream candidate? ~~~~~ They're toying with the ReTHUG party ;)
