what part of "Murdoch and Richard Mellon-Sciafe endorsed" do her supporters not get??? |
|
I haven't heard a reasonable explanation from Hillary supporters that explains how they can purposefully ignore the support of these scions of the right wing. I hate to repeat myself, but this fact is just mind-boggling.
How could the two pinnacles and vanguards of right wing media, each responsible in their own way for the erosion of our Democracy these past 14 years,
HOW COULD THE ENDORSEMENT OF THESE MEN AND THEIR ORGANIZATIONS -AND IT'S MEANING- GO OVER YOUR HEADS??
Is WINNING more important than the ultimate result of this unholy alliance? How can you expect it to be anything but the status quo third Bush term these evil groups hope for?

5. Change? You mean as in lots of loose change? |
|
Hillary seems to be more about the statue quo. i.e., More war all the time.

|
to compare a DINO covering his ass by endorsing Obama to Richard Mellon-Scaife, financier of all that is evil in the right wing, is just childish

I think they know they're going to lose. A loss to Hillary doesn't change their positions of power. A loss to Obama does. They will do anything to keep Obama from winning.

27. Then it's a bogus assertion |
|
That was a long time ago when no one on Earth gave the Republicans a chance of winning in 2008 given how the Iraq slaughter was in the headlines every day, and hardly anyone thought Clinton would not win if she ran.
Much more recently the newspaper Murdoch owns and controls (and you bet your ass Murdoch controls the editorial policy for a Presidential endorsement at a newspaper he owns) endorsed Barack Obama over Hillray Clinton. I'm not trying to make any anti Obama claims because of that, but it is hogwash to now say that Murdoch endorsed Clinton.

He intro'd her to his entire circle of high end movers. Disingenuousness doesn't help here TR. Or is it denial?

36. Smart Capitalists play both sides when power is about to shift |
|
Murdoch warmed up to Labor in England when he had to also. At the time it looked like Hillary was our next President.
Look, this one has a very clear "paper trail". Murdoch's rag, the New York Post, endorsed Barack Obama over Hillary Clinton for President. Not to even mention that was disingenuousness.

18. I think many of her supporters are kind of clueless |
|
I'm not trying to be mean, but moe and more they come off as naive, gullible, unsophisticated and kind of silly. I don't think they really get the full picture of what's going on in this country and what's truly at steake. For many it's as simple as "the woman vs. the black guy". It's kind of like "our team vs. their team". They just don't get it.

30. Murdoch, Scaife, Rush, Coulter, |
|
The list of rabid right wingers goes on and on. Listening to the radio yesterday on the way in, and heard about the "thousands and thousands" of Republicans who had ditched their party affiliation in PA to switch over to Democratic and vote in the primary. I'll give you one clue as who they voted for, and it begins with an "H":think:
The conservative element in this country is desperate for Hillary to win, because they know that she is the weakest candidate of the group. They know that the name Clinton will rally their base and bring their voters out to vote for any Republican running against her. They know that independents will for McCain over Hillary in large numbers, and they know that many Democrats will either vote McCain, go Green, or stay home rather than vote for Hillary.
This is why the right wing is pushing Hillary, yet her supporters seem to think that it's some sort of sign of her appeal:eyes: Suckers, one and all if they believe that. They watched Bill get railroaded by these selfsame people back in the nineties, but now think that they want to play nice:rofl: Sometimes it becomes obvious that Hillary supporters have a lower education level than Obama supporters, and this is one of them. Falling for this sort of crap:eyes:
