6. No shit! Let all Americans votes count and then talk about it.
Otherwise we should do away with the whole election process and let the wealthy, powerful and media pick take completely over. Its bad enough they choose what candidates that Americans are allowed to be educated on!

8. The funny thing is he's more experienced than she is former Gov. and current senator...
how the fuck is that going to play in the General election, with a six year senator vs. a two term Governor and current senator.

Since she's in love with herself, she can nominate her ass. It follows her wherever she goes. And if she could reach it, she'd kiss it.

Soon you'll be listening to "Hail To The Chief" everytime she walks in the room.

I'm sure you'll have no problem when HRC is reading your e-mails and checking your bank accounts like the chimp and the dick are doing now. But hey, if you're not doing anything wrong, nothing to worry about right?

and soon you can tell everybody
that it was your fault you voted for her. Or will you be hiding your head in the sand, and lying to peple that you didn't? I can tell by reading all the posts here on this site that hillary's a big uniter. Can you tell as well? won't that be great for this country? Use your brain, she's the worse thing that could possibly happen to this country. divider not a uniter - remeber that in the voting booth

38. The media also gave support to Bush's theories about WMD in Iraq
Hillary is not unstoppable. The wise elders of the Party will show the younger ones who are drawn to the shiniest objects that it is best to go with the candidate who is most qualified to be president, not the candidate with the most money.

We hired a new supervisor at work and today was her first day. She walked around from cubical to cubical introducing herself. When she introduced herself to me she noticed my "Bush squeeze toy," as she referred to it. She said, "that's ok; I've got a Hillary squeeze egg at my desk." My point is this: Hillary is to Republicans as Bush is to Democrats. Right now the Republicans are demoralized. Let's not give them something to get energized about.

I don't believe Hillary can win a general election, but if she did, she would hurt the Democratic Party for years to come. We have better candidates. We should utilize them.

39. Bill Clinton
Hillary should choose Bill for her VP.

Now this sure would raise an interesting Constitutional issue. One of the recent ammendments (the exact number skips my mind) says that a person may only serve two terms as President. But I don't believe the Constitution says anything about term limits for the Vice President, or a former (maxed out) President serving as Vice President.

So, Bill could be Vice President, but if he had to take over as President, he couldn't. So I guess the job would then pass to Nancy Pelosi, assuming she is still Speaker.

42. Another example of putting the cart called Hillary
Ahead of the horse called election.

And people have been telling me my observations that folks are "assuming" Hillary is the presumptive nominee is in my imagination.

Can't we have the primaries first? You may be surprised.

Oh and regarding the MSM - fuck em!

46. I reel with disgust
The avatar also makes me puke. Let's just let selfish states defy rules of organizations to which they belong and just fuck the rest of us while bellyaching as if they're victims.

As for Hillary, I'm just disgusted.

Fine. Take Clark. That was pretty obvious anyway. The right will still hate you, even though they're being as stupid as most Democrats in this instance. Dems should loathe her as the corporate appeaser she is, and conservatives should love her for this, especially since she'll toe the business line and if anything blows up in her face, it's all the fault of liberals.

Has there ever been as big an oxymoron as "common sense"?

Yes, a female warmonger should select an ex-general for a running mate.

It will make her look "extra-tough" like that awesome and laudable Jack Bauer. :eyes: :thumbsdown:

Just reading the bumpersticker on the back of a car at an intersection would make me chuckle since I'd otherwise be depressed knowing we'd be headed for at least four more years of Repugs controlling the White House, the Senate, the House and certainly the Supreme Court.

We'd lose big thanks to empowering the GOP base to vote en masse where they otherwise would have sat out the election.
