DeLay: 'Hillary Will Be the Next President'

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay said today that Sen. Hillary Clinton (D.-N.Y.) would be elected president in 2008 and would probably tap Senate colleague Barack Obama (D.-Ill.) as her running mate.

DeLay met with conservative bloggers at a weekly lunch meeting hosted by HUMAN EVENTS and the Heritage Foundation. He is making the rounds in Washington to promote his new blog and activism website, TomDeLay.com.

DeLay said he was motivated to start the blog and create the Grassroots Action and Information Network after observing the success of liberal organizations such as MoveOn.org, the Media Fund and Americans Coming Together. He said he hopes to utilize some of the same tools to help Republicans win elections.

It’s this liberal coalition, working in concert with the news media, that will propel Clinton to the White House in 2008, DeLay said. “Hillary will be the next president of the United States because they have built a coalition,” he said.

DeLay also implored conservatives to start digging into Obama’s past. He said Obama’s record in the Illinois Senate was on par with a “Marxist leftist.” Citing defeated U.S. Senate candidate Harold Ford of Tennessee, DeLay said Obama was attempting to disguise his liberal views.

1. Why does anyone interview this moron?

Well, that should start the RW assassins on the warpath.

God help the poor fuckers on the USSS details.

[Jackpine Radical]

3. Yup--the whole thing is about scaring the Puggy Faithful with the

Boogiewoman.

[jaxx]

2. If he's tooting Hillary's horn, then Obama really has them scared.

[babylonsister]

4. The rethugs have been tootin' Hil's horn since 04; that

makes me wonder. Perhaps they hope she'll run because she doesn't have a chance of winning. :shrug:

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. Or they figure they can own her

somehow.

[AtomicKitten]

5. ugh

Now that Delay has his cooties on that prediction, Hillary will most certainly not be the next president.

[WildClarySage]

6. Oh good. I can stop having those nightmares about

Frist, Gingrich and McCain stealing the presidency. Glad he can see what's good for America! lol

[quiet.american]

7. He's not in jail YET? n/t

[Aviation Pro]

8. Aviation Pro: "Tom Delay will be real popular in prison."

...and have a spiffy new name: C'mere bitch.

9. yeah Tom -- and you're a SUCCESSFUL blogger!

:rofl: :rofl:

[spanone]

11. Tom who?

[WI_DEM]

12. I will say one thing: it would be a great moment in American history

if that happened--a Woman nominated for President and an African American nominated for Vice President.

13. The Only Reason He Said This

Is because he needs to strike fear into the hearts of Republicans so he can organize them into a coalition and raise from them large amounts of money. No one does this better than Hillary.

14. Take it from the horse's mouth--the crook who designed our election system,

who, with that other major crook in the Anthrax Congress, Bob Ney (abetted by as-yet-uncaught crooks like Christopher Dodd), spread $3.9 billion and a lot of lavish lobbying all over the country, to fast-track untested, insecure, and extremely insider hackable electronic voting systems, run on TRADE SECRET, PROPRIETARY programming code, owned and controlled by corporations with very close ties to the Bush regime (Diebold) and to far rightwing causes (ES&S). Goal #1: to manufacture a Bush win in 2004, and a lapdog Congress, to keep the hogpen of Iraq going. Goal #2: to limit the country's reaction in 2006, to modest Democratic gains, hampered by a number of Bushite Democrats (didn't entirely succeed--the people outvoted the machines). Goal #3: to choose the Democratic Party candidate for president in 2008, in the primaries--a pro-war, pro-corporate Democrat, who will tear the party to pieces. Goal #4: to put Jeb Bush in the White House.

With the amount of shit that is going to hit the fan, because of the Bush Junta ($10 TRILLION deficit, our name becoming mud in the Middle East, etc.), they may not want to proceed just yet in Goal #4, and may do an interim thing, put Hillary in White House, heap blame on her for all that the Bush Junta has done, and THEN put Jeb in. They can count on Hillary not to investigate them very much, in the interim. And she gets to deal with the food riots, and the vets' peace marches, and the Draft, and the "Gulf of Tonkin" with Iran, and all the rest. Heh-heh.

Tom Delay & Co. designed it. Diebold and ES&S are implementing it. And, if we don't evict these Bushite corporations from our election system, we get to watch it happen.

The only thing I can think of, that might change this scenario--besides a 100% handcount of all the votes--is a Gore landslide that will sweep past the machine programming (--be so big they can't steal it). That's why I favor Gore, and hope he enters the primaries. I think he has the magic, the resume, the steadiness and the vision to inspire a huge win. But, I'll tell you, my perspective on leaders and leadership has changed quite a lot since I was 16 and worked in JFK's campaign. We, the people, ARE this democracy. There is no leader who can save us, and none that cannot be take from us before his or her time. Democracy is from the grass roots up. That's what they've realized in South America, and why they have accomplished this amazing, peaceful, democratic, leftist (majorityist) revolution that has spread over the whole continent: Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Venezuela, Bolivia, Ecuador. It's not about the leaders. It's about the people--and their long hard work on grass roots organization and transparent elections.
