Hillary Clinton: New Darling of the Right?
First Rupert Murdoch, now this. We're seeing another Joe Lieberman in the making and, lucky us, we live in a generation when we get to witness this terrible beauty.

This is the best endorsement that any Democrat‘s ever gotten since Fox News and Karl Rove discovered Joe Lieberman: Hillary Clinton‘s got the endorsement of the Weekly Standard’s Bill Kristol.

Lucky her. At the end of Ann Kornblut’s article in the Washington Post, Kristol was quoted as saying, "Obama is becoming the antiwar candidate, and Hillary Clinton is becoming the responsible Democrat who could become commander in chief in a post-9/11 world."

Now, this could be considered a poison pill designed to kill her campaign or it could be a neocon acknowledgment to Hillary’s seeming commitment to continue fighting this war and for refusing to apologize for her vote to go to war with Iraq back in 2002.

1. IP, the muckracker.
You're not the best at your assignment...you are diligent, though.

You're either paid too much or way too little.

5. silly silly
That wasn't an endorsement. It was an opinion that Clinton would make a better President than Obama. And 40% of Dems agree.

Should Obama and Dean return their News Corp. money? Ah ah! I know news corp had a fundraiser for Clinton - but it was a SENATE fundraiser. Clinton is the Senator of the state News Corp. is based in.

6. I wish she'd publicly sever her ties with some of the
losers from the bill Clinton administration - namely james carville. It doesn't appear that he is playing an active role in her campaign but he turns off a lot of potential supporters. The suspicion that this piece of shit is lurking behind the curtain keeps me from feeling very positive about her candidacy. And I suspect I ain't alone.

13. He's not "active" in her campaign? Meaning she didn't hire him?
So he's NOT working for her. But you still slime the impression that he is. In fact, you slime the impression that Hillary is working for Carville.

I AM impressed. I LIKE a cheap smear with layers.

18. If she's smart, she will. Now is the time.
She could step out tomorrow and make the declaration that what worked for them, both Clintons, was then and this is now.

She has to take that metaphorical jump from the plane.

She's packed and repacked her chute. And, she'll have to take that step which takes her outside the plane's door.

And, experience the free fall, before she pulls that ripcord. Will she?

I guess we'll see. MKJ

7. Ya know, you're not doing your candidate any favors..
Edited on Wed Aug-08-07 09:58 PM by Tellurian
for the new brand of politics representing Obama... For what you do, combing the garbage of the political underworld and posting it. You set a fine example of Obama's 'new politics' as nothing more than the 'old politics'..

Have you ever wondered why he so confused? You posted a complimentary article about Hillary thinking it was a slam!

It's all the fault of people like you!

16. Obama will be destroyed by his "supporters."
Which is why I often wonder if that's what they really are.

12. Can we fair---Whoever is our Candidate--if they become
President--really they are president of all the people.

In order to win an election, the candidate will have
some appeal to the Republicans.

This goes for any candidate.

I can be as partisan as the best of them, but every now
and then I have to be raalistic.

21. More like HRC is the darling of all those who adore their corporate masters.
It's all about giving the Corporations free reign and the continuing merging with government: FASCISM. Whether it be a DLCer like HRC or a Republican, the LARGE CORPORATIONS and The Military Industrial Complex WINS. :puke: :thumbsdown:
