The last thing Washington needs is more empty speechifying.
- this is the kind of thing Hillary needs to be saying -


Washingon has no shortage of jingoistic sermonizing.

What we need is progressives who know Washington and know how to get things done in Washington.

Democrats deserve that and have worked too long and too hard to settle for anything less from themselves.

1. Good advice, TP
Hillary should use some of that exact terminology when she makes her inevitable comeback very soon, especially the "jingoistic sermonizing" part.

:thumbsup:

4. She usually just refers to how we need more than ''speeches''
Which gives Obama the opening to do one of his favorite things: compare himself to JFK and Martin Luther King. Since they made speeches too. The guy's ego is insufferable - he really believes it, when in fact he isn't and will never be one-tenth the man either of those two were. Her terminology needs to forestall that bs.

I agree her comeback should start very soon, like right now.

2. Can millions of motivated voters be wrong, this will stop corrupt politians entering the system.
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 10:29 PM by cooolandrew
All the new voters entering the process will have a vested intrest in restoring America if their nominee doesn't make it they will go back to sleep and America will trundel closer to the cliff. The way it looks now Hillary would lose the GE and prevent another woman being president indefinitely. The wisest move by feminists now is to make Obama take a woman VP. Boxer would be a great woman president and she is eco friendly too. Any woman VP is sure fire president at the end of Barack's tnure assureing 16 years of power.

3. Inotherwords
Obama and Democrats nationwide should spit in Hillary's face.

The one woman who has stood up to the Publicans over these past 16 years
while Publicans were running roughshod over the left and Democrats were out to lunch.

The one woman more qualified to be President than any ever.
And certainly far, far more qualified than Obama.

And we should pick Obama so he can replace Hillary with who, Claire McCaskill?
That's about the level of disgusting attitude we've come to expect from Obama supporters.

I think more Democrats will sit out Obama in the general, or vote McCain,
than I care about new voters 'going back to sleep'.
