So Hillary is the meme of the McCain campaign rolled out today
Edited on Sat Aug-23-08 08:20 PM by eleny
I read here about the ad McCain is putting out soon with all negative things Hillary said about Obama during the Primaries.

Then there's the "Don't vet me if you aren't going to choose me" article from AP. Without verification of its accuracy.

And just now on MSNBC Pat Buchanan is hammering at how he thinks Hillary should have gotten the nod for VP.

Okay, I'm convinced. It's McCain's latest strategy to divide us.

This is my response to that plot

1. That's exactly how I see it.

I think your first statement you mean, "all the negative things HRC said about HIM during the Primaries."

All of it is, distracting soundbites to take us off the focus of the GE and getting back the White House.

K & R

3. It's their strategy.
They are going to start rolling out stuff like this aimed at Hillary supporters to try and alienate them from Obama.

7. The "don't vet me if you won't choose me" thing actually helps Obama
It vindicates him from the attacks that he was never serioius about Hillary.

11. McOLDman is becoming a LAUGHING STOCK !!!
His party has to be embarrassed that this is all he can come up with!



I can't wait until the debates..

The REAL debates --- "not the bogus Saddleback Set-up"

p.s.. Kudos to Tweety for dissing that debate and saying that he thought the content was pathetic!

15. In the 90's, Hillary was Satan's spawn to the Repukes...
...to them, she was evil incarnate who was a lesbian ball-buster towards her husband.

Now, they like her. She's being done wrong. It should have been her! It doesn't take a brainiac to figure out what the motives are behind this bullshit. And who's behind it.

19. As noted, she was the spawn of satan UNTIL
sometime in January of this year, when it became clear that Barack Obama had a good chance of beating her ...

As someone else noted, they spent 15 years gearing up for a fight with Hill, and all the pent up hatred and all the crape they have booked up on her, pfft, up in the air.

21. No doubt. And then the scary black man with the funny name appeared...
...and they became oh-so concerned for Hillary.

17. Last chance failed. A little ripple in comparison with "the" ticket.

20. Hillary is cool. The republicans are stupid as always.
Don't bother with them. They just like beating up on Hillary, so they're disappointed she's not the VP.

22. Yep.
I suspect they actually know that the majority of Hillary supporters WILL vote for Obama in November, so they are desperately trying to grasp at straws.

23. Also, the McCain campaign looks silly doing all this
talking about Hillary. Most people are just going to wonder why they're so out of it--I mean, why are they even still talking about her? Does McCain et al even KNOW who is on the Dem ticket? ROFL.
