Sniper Gate is Hillary's way out of the elections |
|
It's so bad it may be good for her and the party. She can now bow out and not even her supporters could blame her. The party will be able to heal now with a clear winner in Obama.

Wright--"I wasn't there, "I didn't hear that stuff," "I was there," "OK, I heard it but there's nothing wrong with it." :)
Rezko--"5 hours," "Well, maybe 17 years," I donated it all to charity so that makes it all right," "I'm donating more now, the rest of it, well, part of it, give me a figure that you can prove and I donate that." :)
NAFTA--"I did nothing of the sort," "Absolutely not," "Say what! you've got a memo? (shit)" "Ok, we did it but Hillary did it too." :)

6. Snipergate is the tip of the iceberg of Hillary's lies and distortions to try to get ahead |
|
the Obama campaign and the media need to look into her past 35 years of experience claims and boasts.
The tax returns would be helpful too but we all know about those.

7. The ads comparing McCain's bravery to Hillary's will be devastating. |

It's brave to drop death on peasants from 30,000 feet?

15. Come on...Mccain was a POW in Vietnam.... |
|
I don't agree with his politics. But I have to give him credit for going through this. Anyone who is sure they would do any better can say the first word!
Compare this to Hillary's dishonesty here. And exaggerating her peril. I can see it now. Repuke hate ads....Chicken Little Hilary...the sky is falling!....nope...flip flop....it isn't after all....
Anyone thinking Hillary can be elected in 08 is naive.

23. I am sure I wouldn't do better as a POW, and that's irrelevant... |
|
McCain didn't choose to be a POW, no one does. What he chose was to be a bomber in a war of aggression, dropping incendiaries on peasants and murdering them (unless by some chance he always missed) on the orders of his superiors. Even if he was personally brave, I dispute that bravery is the most relevant descriptor for his participation in crimes against humanity. Others in the U.S. military, more than a few, made a different choice in Vietnam: they mutinied, and they helped put an end to the U.S. invasion of Indochina. That's bravery.

10. Just imagine John McCain's ad on this one. |
|
Video rolls: Hillary telling her hair-raising lie; then video of the actual landing in Tuzla.
Followed by tape of McCain's actual war experience.
"IS THIS THE KIND OF LEADERSHIP WE NEED IN AMERICA?"
VOTE FOR INTEGRITY. VOTE FOR REAL COURAGE! VOTE MCCCAIN!"

13. On St. Patty's day, she told the press a story about... |
|
...touching down in Bosnia in 1996 and having to avoid sniper fire while running from the plane with their heads down to safety. Someone found footage from 1996 of the actual event and it was more like a parade/photo-op than a warzone with sniper fire

Hillary lied about her Bosnia landing. Hillary lied about her Bosnia landing. Hillary lied about her Bosnia landing. Hillary lied about her Bosnia landing. Hillary lied about her Bosnia landing.

Then add other Hillary flip flops and triangulations.

22. If it was so dangerous, why did she bring Chelsea? |
|
Wouldn't that have been child endangerment? Would any responsible parent take their only child into a place with snipers running around?
Let's see her answer that question!

25. If the plane was about to land, and the pilot/soldiers told me |
|
...there may be gunfire, and my daughter was on the plane, you're damn straight I would be wringing a certain pilots neck until he got back in the air.
Are you fucking kidding me, put my daughter on an open tarmac with possible snipers around? WTF?

That she said it was so dangerous they moved "her" up to the cockpit, but everyone else had to stay in their seats, even her daughter???
You know the old saying, one lie leads to another, and another and......!

29. In this moment... I'd like to reiterate what Sinbad has to say on the topic... |
|
In an interview with the Sleuth Monday, he said the "scariest" part of the trip was wondering where he'd eat next. "I think the only 'red-phone' moment was: 'Do we eat here or at the next place.'"
...
In her Iowa stump speech, Clinton also said, "We used to say in the White House that if a place is too dangerous, too small or too poor, send the First Lady."
Say what? As Sinbad put it: "What kind of president would say, 'Hey, man, I can't go 'cause I might get shot so I'm going to send my wife...oh, and take a guitar player and a comedian with you.'"

Edited on Mon Mar-24-08 10:00 PM by TheDeathadder
really? you wasted 1 of 3 threads for this? If this is the best you have you are going to be pissed after Penn and even more after the convention when she wins and goes on to bury McCain.
Dropping out over Sniper Gate? Sniper Gate? Why do people put a gate after everything...wait let me try...this is a LAME-THREAD-GATE.
