Is GOP Using Vote Fraud To Steal the Primary for Clinton, Or Is Clinton Angling to be McCain's VP?
I have seen these attacks and every variation in between today on GDP.

So which is it?

Do the Republicans know she is so weak that they can get out their RW "Hillary-hater" vote in November and beat her no matter what?

Or do they love her so much that they want her as the vice presidential candidate of their party?

All you anti-Clinton conspiracy nuts should probably get together and coalesce around one kooky theory regarding the "evil Clintons" and stick with it.

1. The RW has no love for Hillary
The reality is they can't stand her, but they have no problem using her.

2. Wouldn't the GOP fear putting her on the ticket
..based on McSame's age and the long history the Clintons have of bumping off their enemies ;-)

3. When she threw the kitchen sink at Obama the GOP knows she has lost the Dem base
In her desperation to win Hillary has done the GOP's job for them.

No, not just on Obama, but on herself.

The AA community will never vote for her.

Obama's large youth vote wont vote for her.

The grassroots she has derided wont vote for her.

If she manages to steal the nomination, the GOP knows she now will be one of the weakest candidates our party has nominated in the last 40 years.

4. Those seeking to demonize "conspiracists" are usually the ones involved in the conspiracies...
...I don't know why people giggle and roll their eyes when a conspiracy theory is discussed.

Grow the fuck up, already.

Conspiracies are part of being human. Whenever two teenager girls get together to exclude a third girl from an event, that's a conspiracy. When Bush Jr and his pals met in secret to finesse the theft of the 2000 presidential election, that was a conspiracy. When Bush Jr knew in early fall that Enron would have to file for bankruptcy in a few months, but kept silent so that KennyBoy Lay et al. could pull their money out of Enron, shift it overseas, etc., and continue to tell Enron investors that Enron was sound--that was a conspiracy.

Hell, when Eve joined with the serpent in the Garden of Eden to pull a fast one on God, that was a conspiracy.

Board-room power-plays are all conspiracies.

But what you find that the people who try to demonize or discount a conspiracy theory which is based in fact are the very people who were involved in the conspiracy and don't want it outed.

So when you demonize conspiracy theories in general, you are doing the handmaiden work of people like Karl Rove, Bush Jr, Gordon Liddy and Richard Mellon Scaife.

5. Big Money is training our candidates to sit up and beg.
At least one seems not merely willing but eager to comply.

6. I was wondering the same thing.
Not the part about her being McCains VP, but the part about the republicans using their dirty tactics to get her elected as the nominee.

I don't think they would let her be the VP, it would be a sure loser in the GE, and they know it. Heck most republicans can't stand McCain, but they "HATE" the Clintons!

7. its more than just that they don't want her as VP, they don't want her as president

If something were to happen to "Spring Chicken" McCain in office, obviously his VP would take over. The GOP would never take this risk.
