is bill clinton supporting a mccain presidency?

[spanone]

just wondering

[countingbluecars]

1. It appears that way to me. n/t

[goclark]

24. Asked McSame to give the Opening Speech ~ why not Al Gore?

:shrug:

[The Traveler]

2. If he isn't he is faking it well.

:wtf:

[gaiilonfong]

3. YEP

He thinks IF...that's a big IF Obama loses Missy Hillary will get the nom. in 2012....UH......THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN

As I have said, I am looking to Billy FINALLY being irrelevant in 2009

He has just been awful

[LiberadorHugo]

5. The man honoured Dixie veterans of the Civil War...

Anybody who's ever doubted that he's a racist fuck needs to learn some history.

[Spider Jerusalem]

22. History is rarely as straightforward or simple as we'd like it to be.

My 3rd great-grandfather fought for the Confederacy. He was a poor farmer from Clayton County, Georgia who enlisted in the Georgia militia in the spring of 1864, when he was 46 years old and well past military age, when Sherman was on his march to the sea, and he did it for one reason: to defend his home and family. He was not, so far as I know, political, nor did he own slaves, and there were thousands like him who fought for the Confederacy. I can't consider the situation and say I might not do the same thing myself.

Clinton is also a Southerner, from a former Confederate state; the South has an uneasy and vexed relationship with its past, but it seems to me that it's possible to honour men like my great-great-great grandfather, who took up arms not in the service of some racist ideology, but in defence of their homes against an invading army (and that the cause they were nominally supporting by doing so was morally bankrupt and wrong doesn't make their individual actions so).

[DemocratSinceBirth]

51. Of Course I Would Have Fought For The Army Of The Potomac

But Sherman with his "total war" theory often didn't discriminate between civilian and military targets.

[Spider Jerusalem]

53. Would you?

Would you if you'd been a Georgia farmer in the path of Sherman's march? What would you have done then?

[karynnj]

27. Who did? McCain or Clinton?

Also, I would say that there is not a necessary link between honoring Confederate Veterans and racism - though there is most certainly a correlation. As has been said on Iraq and Vietnam, you can't confuse the warriors for the war.

[LostinVA]

37. Bill Clinton isn't racist

Even though I think he's going bonkers this election cycle, he isn't a racist, nor does he WANT a Republican to win... although at this point, McCain winning would doom teh Repubs even more, just because the next President will be a one-termer who is DOOMED from Day One. I'd prefer a two-term Dem. Yet another thing that ass Bush has spoiled.

[Colobo]

4. Of course he is.

[BridgeTheGap]

16. Caption for photo: "There's the son of bitch over there. Don't trust him!." n.t

[AtomicKitten]

6. Only until HRC can run again in 2012.

[NYC_SKP]

7. Bill, the gift that just keeps giving, and giving, and giving. nt

[WeDidIt]

8. Looks that way, doesn't it?

[obiden]

9. Yes nt

.

[LonelyLRLiberal]

10. Indeed, so it appears from every one of his recent appearances.

And, what's up with inviting McLame to his event? Did he invite Obama? If not, why? I've about had it with Bill, and if Hillary thinks I'm letting her off the hook for not stopping Bill, she's nuts.

[faithfulcitizen]

11. clearly, yes.

[Balderdash]

12. Of course not.

Another day of Clinton bashing when McCain, the enemy, is on the ropes.

[Arkansas Granny]

45. It makes you wonder what their real motives are, doesn't it.

[Balderdash]

52. Indeed, it does make one wonder...

:)

[Peacetrain]

13. I saw that on GMA.. I do not even know what to say..nt

:shrug:

[BlooInBloo]

14. Fuck the Clintons.

[FloridaGrl]

15. I think so

his words are half and half between Obama and McCain but his actions says it all. It's time some folks come out of denial.

[Borgnine]

17. He can't accept that it's not his party anymore.

It's becoming more and more obvious, and I refuse to play the game of Twister that's required to defend his actions this week.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

18. No doubt! Fuck him!!!!!

[Tarc]

19. More ridiculous, half-assed, tinfoil bullshit from Clinton-haters

This should be a day for roasting McCain over the coals for his cowardice in running away from the Obama debate, where he knows he's going to get his ass handed to him.

Instead, we get a sad sack of Clinton-haters...a group that seems to have more numbers here than they do at the free republic...whining and pissing their tired, whiny critiques.

[gabby garcia]

21. So then you agree...

that this is the day Bill Clinton should be roasting McCain over the coals for his cowardice in running away from the Obama debate, where he knows he's going to get his ass handed to him.

I'm so glad you agree.

Now where's Bill?

[Tarc]

23. Are you being intentionally stupid, or is it accidental?

Bill and Hillary have been campaigning heavily for Obama this entire time now. By definition, that IS speaking out against McCain, Palin, and their backwards policies.

Twit.

[spanone]

29. i beg to differ. i'm not a clinton hater. but when mccain opens bills forum and he thanks cindy.....

[Captain Hilts]

20. Of course not. Don't be stupid. He knows Obama's going to win...

and said he'd win BIG. No reason for Bubba to get in the mud.

[TwilightGardener]

25. Yes. Bill would rather see the country get fucked for his and Hillary's personal gain in 2012.

[ShortnFiery]

28. What insults me most is that Bill Clinton must think that we, the American People, are too stupid

to see through "his act." :(

[BigDDem]

33. What's stupid is thinking Dennis K was going to get the nomination.

[WinkyDink]

54. Whence this remark? I supported DK because he has REAL Democratic values, to the core of his being.

[TwilightGardener]

34. Yep--even the Freeptards know what he's up to--they love it.

[Arkansas Granny]

56. Do you think that Obama is too stupid to see through "his act"? After all, Obama

did meet with Clinton to discuss Bill's appearances on Barack's behalf. Do you really think he's gullible to accept "help" from someone who wants to see him defeated? You are allowing your hatred of Clinton to cloud your judgment.

[DainBramaged]

26. Is McChicken just senile?

Just wonderin'?

[BigDDem]

30. Some of y'all really need to seek help, seriously.

[seabeyond]

32. and some need to quit being enablers and living in fantasy world. n/t

[BigDDem]

35. In your version of reality, has Obama said flattering things

about McCain? Just wondering.....

[seabeyond]

36. did obama give mccain a platform for this speech? just wondering. n/t

[seabeyond]

31. looking for place for wife in 2012. didnt believe it in 2004 when people said it. all the bs he

did, being buddies with bush, son to barbara, people would say want kerry to lose so wife could run in 2008. i didnt believe it. i let it go in 2008. and now this

the hugest fuck off you egotistical self interested asshole

[BigDDem]

38. Thanks for making my point!

[seabeyond]

39. egotistical self interested asshole.... so you agree

he is an asshole?

hm

[BigDDem]

44. No, you made my point that some of the Clinton obsessed

really should seek help.
Just my opinion friend, have a good one!

[seabeyond]

47. you can have the facts right in front of face, yet continue to deny. n/t

[BigDDem]

49. Why is Obama asking Clinton to go campaign for him?

[Arkansas Granny]

40. Of course he isn't. Post like this do nothing for unity and surely don't help Obama.

You are just wallowing in your Clinton hatred.

[seabeyond]

41. and having a dem put mccain on platform allowing him to STEAL obamas

5 points isn't a hell of a lot of help to obama either

[BigDDem]

50. You dodged the first time...I'll try again

In your version of reality, has Obama said flattering things about McCain?

Not a hard question, you can do it man!!

[spanone]

42. i'm a clinton fan maam, that's why it distresses me. clinton hater my ASS.

[Arkansas Granny]

55. Sorry if I misunterstood you intentions.

[HeraldSquare212]

43. Yes, he is. Or maybe he's thinking of running for Senate from Connecticut.

[PeaceNikki]

46. Ridiculous and stupid.

[PBS Poll-435]

48. As much as you are.
