Give a Cheer to Hillary-“Clinton brought both camps to their feet when she blistered the Bush admin”



~ALL FIRED-UP FOR THE LADY~ YES SHE CAN, YES WE CAN~


…..Clinton brought both camps to their feet when she blistered the Bush administration and, by inference, a likely Republican nominee she had no problem branding a conservative — even if he's struggling to sell that label to his party's right.

"We have tried it President Bush's way," she said, and now "the Republicans have chosen more of the same."

"President Bush has already put his stamp of approval on Senator McCain's conservative credentials," she said, adding wryly, "and I'm sure that will help." The line won cheers and laughs. Bush has nudged his party to unite but not explicitly endorsed McCain.

The Arizona senator lost the Kansas caucuses Saturday against long-shot rival Mike Huckabee, who draws support from conservatives.

Clinton described Bush's way as "hoard power, disregard science, shred the Constitution, smear dissenters, impugn patriots, go it alone in the world wherever you can and cooperate only when you have to."

She told the audience: "You know, for me, politics isn't a game. It's not about who's up or who's down. It's about your lives, your families and your futures. And isn't it about time you had a president who brought your voice and your values to your White House?" ……

1. I was proud of the way she kept her focus on the party and the people.

nice tone, good delivery, and an inspiring speech

[rodeodance]

3. Thank you--so was I.

[DUyellow]

51. I was there, and this does not depict how the atmosphere was at all

one of the lines that i laugh at "Chants of "Obama" rang through the hall as she made her way offstage, and they grew much louder when the Illinois senator arrived."

Chants of pro Obama rang through the whole night. including the hour in between Clinton's speech and Obama Speech.

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. Yes, the way the word "populism" is used by politicians and the MSM,

at best, it has dismissive overtones, and is more commonly used pejoratively. Yet, what does it signify? Pretty much the same as "democracy". The people's will enacted.

[blm]

31. But she couldn't do it for 7 years when Bush NEEDED opposing? He isn't running now

but now she wants gullible Democrats to believe she has opposed him vigorously ALL ALONG? And some Dems are FALLING for that snowjob?

[rodeodance]

36. ha ha--says both camps cheered---so cheers to you.

[yardwork]

38. What has Obama done to vigorously oppose Bush that Clinton has not?

Please show me votes in opposition to Bush that Obama has made that differ from Clinton's.

As far as I can tell, their voting records in the Senate are virtually identical.

[yardwork]

44. I'm waiting. Please enlighten me.

[blm]

54. He didn't have the cache she had at the time, nor did he have 4yrs supporting Bush

consistently from 2001-2005.

Or do many of you forget how Hillary stayed on the same page with Joe Lieberman up until Lieberman lost his primary race and THEN Hillary adjusted her rhetoric to SOUND more in opposition to Bush on his decisions she had solidly supported up till the end of 2006?

I trust Obama and HIS WH advisors to end this war - Gary Hart, John Kerry, Richard Clarke and Gen Anthony Zinni.

I KNOW what Hillary's advisors think already - after all, what American ex-president was ADVISING Tony Blair from 2001-2007?

[TankLV]

33. I've noticed Hillary is always doing this, while obama is usually trashing Hillary as opposed to the

repukes...

[yardwork]

35. Case in point - Post #31 on this thread.

Enough said.

[rodeodance]

42. that comment was posted a few times.

[yardwork]

43. I responded to it a few times, too. So far - crickets.

[rodeodance]

48. i just notices. thanks--

[nonconformist]

49. Exactly.

Whose side is he really on, anyway?

[rodeodance]

2. and give this a REC please

[CatWoman]

11. ok

:)

[rodeodance]

16. Luv the kitties

[Tellurian]

21. Thanks for posting, rodeodance...

Great Article.. Our Girl is focused and determined to win!

[rodeodance]

23. yes she is. `YES SHE CAN~ YES WE CAN~

[rodeodance]

4. CHEERS

[Deja Q]

5. K&R

[rodeodance]

6. CHEERS back to yah:-)

[Deja Q]

10. Thx!

:pals:

I've read more from Clinton supporters that has given me hope, should she be nominated.

Either way, I think we've got good candidates.

[rodeodance]

7. ....

[CTD]

8. Nice to see her going out on a limb like that.

Bush is past-tense. And everyone paying attention already strongly dislikes this admin.

Let's hear it for the ultimate low-risk applause line.

Woohoo!!

[rodeodance]

9. what a vile post--go POOP somewhere else.

[CTD]

15. It's true. It's a no-risk applause line. Which typifies everything about her campaign.

Poll-tested and safe.

Or am I supposed to cheer bland mediocrity?

[rodeodance]

22. go ask the Obamababies why they cheered also.

[Deja Q]

13. Don't get cocky.

I say that as much to people in general, but cockiness has helped dissuade people in previous elections.

[CTD]

18. Bashing Bush (at this point) is the same as when Reps "praise the troops" in a political speech.

It's an empty, cheap applause line that shows ZERO political courage.

Do you guys want to win or do you want to have a self-congratulatory circle-jerk?

If you want to win, you should be calling this type of stuff as it is - meaningless crap.

Don't get me wrong, I DESPISE this administration and what it's done to the country and the Constitution. But at this point, mentioning it is just a cheap applause line that doesn't help us win in November.

[rodeodance]

20. whatever--note that BOTH camps cheered her on.

[TankLV]

39. but at least she's bashing the REPUKES with almost ALL of her speeches, unlike your man, who spends

most of his time bashing fellow DEMOCRATS...

oh, and pandering REPEATEDLY to gay BIGOTRY...

[susankh4]

59. No... actually...

it is the applause libe BOTH of our candidates should be using.

It is time for Obama to take on the GOP. We are running out of time to keep picking on one another.

Barack/Hillary or Hillary/Barack 2008

[CTD]

61. However much we all dislike Bush, attacking him at this point is pointless.

Attack McCain.

Oh wait, Obama *is* attacking McCain.

[susankh4]

63. Wrong!

The goal is to unite the Democratic party, so we can vote against 4 more years of Bush policies.

Do you want a united party of not?

[CTD]

64. 70% already know Bush's policies are failures beyond historical precedent

The other 30% will vote GOP no matter what.

Not much to be gained here.

Tear down the already weak presumed GOP nominee. Don't waste time and effort beating the dead horse that is the Bush admin.

[susankh4]

65. You are kidding, right?

You do know that your candidate is going to go after Bush/McCain in the national election, right?

Or do you really think this battle is between factions of the Dems?

[susankh4]

66. You are kidding, right?

You do know that your candidate is going to go after Buss/McCain in the national election, right?

Or do you really think this war is between factions of the Dems?

[rodeodance]

19. right on. bothe sides need to check it -at different times. But this is celebratory thead.

Posted by DeepModem Mom on Sun Feb-10-08 11:33 AM

CNN: February 9, 2008
Clinton raises $10 million since Super Tuesday

(CNN) – Hillary Clinton raised over $10 million from 100,000 donors since the February 5 Super Tuesday contests, her campaign announced Saturday, as Democratic voters in three states and the Virgin Islands weighed in on the presidential race.

In a conference call earlier this week, Clinton Campaign Chairman Terry McAuliffe suggested that reports the New York senator had decided to loan herself $5 million in January were the chief reason for the recent fundraising boost, saying many donors had been unaware the campaign was facing a cash crunch. He also said Clinton’s entire staff was receiving their full salaries, following reports some senior staffers had voluntarily offered to forgo pay for a month.

After the cash influx, the campaign began to air television ads in Nebraska and Washington State, and Maine....

UPDATE: Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton said in a Saturday statement that the Illinois senator's campaign had raised more in the month of February than the Clinton campaign had, though he did not reveal the exact amount. He added that more than 350,000 donors had contributed to the Obama campaign so far this year.

17. Hillary has been doing ALL the heavy lifting for the Dem party /nt

Do you honestly think healthcare would even be an issue if she wasn't in the race?

Great video from 2006 http://youtube.com/watch?v=pe1jhARvjTc

She's just getting better and better out there!



:applause: :woohoo: :applause:

[rodeodance]

46. ~YES SHE DOES~

[blm]

30. Why wouldn't she do it when Bush NEEDED OPPOSING the last 7 years?

NOW she wants to run against someone she refused to oppose vigorously for 7 years when they aren't even running?

[rodeodance]

32. SCRAM

[yardwork]

37. What has Obama done to oppose Bush in the Senate that Hillary has not?

I'm genuinely curious. What has Obama done to oppose Bush that Hillary Clinton has not done? Can you point to a single vote where Obama has voted differently from Clinton in opposition to Bush

[yardwork]

45. crickets....crickets

[TankLV]

40. umm - she WAS - YOU weren't paying attention...

[yardwork]

47. Silence in response to my question - looks like we scared off the poster

[rodeodance]

50. twas just another Whining Obamababy

[blm]

56. Sure - that will NEVER happen. 2001-2005 BEFORE Obama in sebate HOW did Hillary LEAD

any opposition to Bush? She and her thugs were UNDERMINING any Dem who DID stick their necks out to oppose Bush throughout that time.


As noted by historian Douglas Brinkley:
http://www.depauw.edu/news/index.asp?id=13354

Bill's consistent and PUBLIC defenses of Bush in summer 2004:
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/19/clinton.iraq/

Carville on election night sabotaging Ohio Dem voters....for who?
http://www.tpmcafe.com/blog/coffeehouse/2006/oct/07/did_carville_tip_bush_off_to_kerry_strategy_woodward


Hillary opposing Bush.....oops....wrong....she found a camera to JOIN Bush's smear against a Dem:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk1k0nUWEQg

[blm]

55. Really? ToraBora saw Hill ACTION? Rumsfeld's firing after Abu Ghraib saw Hill ACTION?

Downing Street Memos saw Hill ACTION?

Alito filibuster saw Hill LEAD that ACTION?

I saw Hill undermine the 2004 nominee and saw Hillary REFUSE to give back up on any of the actions listed above AS THEY HAPPENED, and even took to the senate floor to deride Kerry-Feingold bill for Iraq withdrawal timetable.

She also joined Bush in his smear of Kerry in 2006.

YOU call that OPPOSING Bush for 7 years?

Even Bill defended Bush for 3 weeks of his summer 2004 book tour at the exact same time Kerry was attacking Bush on his decisions.
http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/06/19/clinton.iraq/

And Carville sabotaged Dem voters in Ohio - who did he do it for?

But, hindsight is alway 20/20. And now it's time to move forward.

Obama/Clinton or Clinton/Obama 2008!
