McCain in Esquire: "Clinton is smart & tough; discipline like Bill wasn't"
Wow. Yet another Republican is "spontaneously" offering his belief that Mrs Clinton is the one to watch and that they all fear her beating them. Thanks for the hot tip, Republicans! I was starting to think maybe yall wanted to run against Senator Clinton. But the way yall talk, I'll bet she's just the one to kick yalls booties back into the McKinly administration where you belong!

Seriously tho, I don't think McCain's intended audience in saying this was Democrats. That's not how the GOP mind works. He's pointing his comments at (1) the Fundies & Foxies, who euqal parts loathe and fear Hillary Clinton. They may not love McCain because he will on the rare occasion vote to show off what a "maverick" hee is.

I think his messge is pointed at te Right Wing He's trying to push along the idea that only he can defeat this most "formidable" and despised Democrat. I still don't like them telling us who we ought to nomates.

2. McCain in Esquire: "Clinton is smart & tough; discipline like Bill wasn't"
... said the spider to the fly. This endorsement tells me one thing: This is the candidate McCain wants to run against. Period.

HILLARY

IS

UNELECTABLE.

That's why they and their lapdog media are pushing her so strongly. I hope we are smarter than this.

3. They've had a decade of speculation
...so of course they want Hillary to run. They'll have spent that time preparing for this.

5. Right. How long were those working days Bill Clinton put in? I love this
undisciplined mythology the right wing pushes on Clinton. He had his faults, but that was hardly one of them. Now Captain Courageous, with his 10AM-5PM routine, with nap time, on the other hand...

7. Okay
Well at least he is telling us who to elect because we do not know how to vote. Murdoch is even helping Hilary raise money. he also wants her to get the democratic nomination.

8. The thing is, they ARE scared shitless of Hillary
whether or not you wan't to believe that.

If you don't think that's true, then just go out into the field and ask some right wing nuts about it. They'll all admit their biggest fear is that Hillary will indeed make a successful run for president.

10. Yes, the wing nuts in the field do fear Hillary
Because their "leaders" keep telling them that Hillary is a closet Commie. Secretly, the GOP leaders are praying for Hillary to be nominated because after eight years of scare tactics they know the "clueless right" will come out in force against her.

12. I'm not so sure about that myself...
I personally think they want to "bring her on" as far as the Democrats '08 pick.

But maybe that's just me.. :shrug:

11. I hate McCain.
To quote a great American, "I find him to be a crass, obvious manipulator." Which he is. Both crass and obvious.
