23. whats wrong with Hillary ?
This is my 1st post.


whats wrong with Hillary ?

She is super smart, and Bill can be a big part of the campaign. That would be a winning combination, i would think.....

25. Why Not?
She would energize the right wing fundraising and poll turnout.

She has her own ambitions for 2008 if Kerry doesn't win.

She is a democratic senator in a state with a republican governor who could appoint anyone he wants if she vacates the senate.

A Kerry/Clinton win would mean two fewer dem's in the senate because Weld of Mass. is a republican as well.

She motivates no base that is not already motivated.

Two northern liberal dem's on one ticket, what ARE you smoking?

She and her husband are already working hard for the party raising more money than Kerry himself.

I am sure there are a lot more reasons too, but these are enough.

29. Here's one you forgot....
The standing ovation she gave Junior's LIE about Iraq being the central front in the "war on terra".

After that, she will NEVER get my vote.

27. Easy
She's Hillary. The right-wing hates her more than Bill.

8. This is a recurring nightmare of the RW
and Drudge is just aggrevating it probably for the click traffic. Its the end of the month AND the end of the quarter. Drudge thanks you for the clicks!

12. Hilary for VP
is the RW's wet dream. Tlak about a way to moblize the base. When she was running for the senate in NY there were fundraisers in AZ for her opponent (some smarmy little Repug whose name I have long forgotten).

15. No way.
Hillary has already said...a MILLION times, that she made a promise to her constituents, that she would serve her entire term. Drudge is sludge! He has no clue what he's talking about.

17. She won't be VP. Don't you know she is going to mastermind a takeover at
the convention and she will be the nominee? Did you get the memo?

28. Repugs say this shit all the time to rally their base
Edited on Wed Jun-30-04 11:40 PM by zulchzulu
She's only denied it a million times.

If I were John, I don't know if I'd want to have a Clinton looking up my ass. Might pull a Vinnie...

/sarcasm

I guess what makes the story interesting is that it's from a bigtime DC insider who wants to remain "unnamed".

It's probably the new Jamaican stud bouncer at one of the gay bars Drudge is lubeing himself up at these days.

C'mere, rasta boy. Oooh la la.

30. Clear-thinking people have had a 7-day
television love fest with the Master of FP, Wesley Clark.
We can't talk about him, because, well, that would be against media policy - soooo.... we have to drag out poor Hillary meme's again.
Sorry. I'm not buying it. I believe her when she says she wants to be a senator for awhile - you know, more than one term.

31. He reported several times during the primaries
that "sources" were saying Hillary was "considering" jumping in the race. And remember the Kerry/intern story?

32. May I ask this for the 10,000th time?
Why do we give a flying fuck what that pissant, closet case, self hating gay asshole says?

Matt Drudge can fucking go to hell. I'd like to take that dumb ass hat of his and shove right up his ass.

Thanks for the funny though. Now, what little piece of news is going to come out that they are trying to divert our attention from with this drivel?
