She knows that against John McCain, Obama won't stand a chance, but she will CRUSH him like a fly.

It's just a matter of time before ALL the Super Delegates figure out what she already knows :smoke:

and the ONLY candidate we currently have who can throttle McCain's sorry ass. Obama would be raked over the coals by the Right Wing and left standing in shock wondering what hit him.

51. She's willing to say anything to get elected. Look at her stupid gas holiday then dismisal
of all economists! Look at her reflections on her Bosnia Trip, on her role in the Irish Peace Plan. Why would you put credence in anything she says?

BTW Why is your "Goddess of Peace" the largest recipient of contributions from the Defense Sector-even beating out McCain?

Hillary is the top recipient of contributions by Defense Industry even topping John McCain:

67. Delusional.
Sheesh, There is a reason the the Defense Sector has given their $ to Hillary over McCain. It 's rhetoric like "Obliterate Iran", it's votes like IWR and Kyl Lieberman. If you want to buy into the BS from an exposed (film of Bosnia) liar, then be my guest.

Don't expect any additional replies from me-not worth my time.

22. Hillary won't let a closet DLC'er like Obama get the chance to bring Repukes into his cabinet
That's why she's staying it this until she wins it. She's a true Liberal and Obama is a Reagan lover who reaches out to Republicans just like what's in the DLC playbook and is why DLC Chief is in Obama's corner right from the get-go.

Obama has DLC written all over him. He just isn't a card carrying member.


Ford predicted the DLC will play a major role in the issues debate that unfolds in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary process. The group will not side with any one candidate, he said, even though the organization has close ties to a number of potential nominees, from Vilsack to Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) and Joe Biden (Del.) to Gov. Bill Richardson (N.M.). Even Sen. Barack Obama (Ill.) has expressed interest in "finding ways he could work with the DLC," according to Ford. (Ford describes Obama as a "personal friend" and says they talk regularly.)

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2007/01/fords_next_move.html

From a year ago:

DailyKos straw poll shows shows Kossacks prefer John Edwards 37% to Obama’s 27% with Wesley Clark a distant third at 14% (the Blogometer has checked these numbers at 6K, 13K ,and 16K votes and there has been no change in the %s). Netroots ambivalence towards Obama’s candidacy seems to stem from two related sources: 1) his perceived centrist/Liebermanesque/DLC rhetoric; 2) and his inability/refusal to lead take the lead on a major progressive issue (especially the war).

http://hotlineblog.nationaljournal.com/archives/2007/01/obama_wire_the.html


The DLC doesn’t necessarily pre-select candidates, but they do keep an eye out for possibilities. Obama has been on their watch-list for some time. Now that they see his sex appeal, they may rally behind him. He could be Hillary without the polarizing effect, a real possibility to hold the office.

http://pieceofmind.wordpress.com/2007/01/18/obama-lieberman-and-the-dlc/

Add to that his DLC campaign theme of "reaching out to Republicans" and it doesn't take long to see who the real DLC candidate is if you're willing to read between the lines.

71. Not at heart, but Obama is. Just look at his campaign. Imagine what his cabinet would look like
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama would tap George HW Bush as his Secretary of Veteran's Affairs, Joe Lieberman as his Secretary of State, and Morning Joe for his Secretary of Homeland Security.

What I was talking about is that she is running and they aren't, so it's always easier for someone else to speculate on what the candidate should do. McGovern and Clark are two of the best. I love 'em.

What is hillary's position on extraordinary renditions?

Do you know who began the extraordinary rendition program that is used today?

"Superdelegates say, we will decide"

By Alexander Bolton

Posted: 05/06/08 07:57 PM

Uncommitted Democratic superdelegates in Congress overwhelmingly say they won’t necessarily back the presidential candidate who wins the most primary delegates. Instead, electability will be very important in their decision………Lots more…..

52. "Goddess of Peace"?!? Are you fucking kidding me?
The woman who enthusiastically voted for Bush's war in Iraq & wants to turn Tehran into a radioactive glass parking lot is the "Goddess of Peace"?

That's the most obscene thing I've heard all day.

63. No, I'm serious. Why do you think the Republican war machine fears her so much?
They KNOW she's the true blue Liberal of the two candidates and she's really for peace.

61. The other guy talks peace and votes to fund the war. Figure that
He also skipped town on Kyl-Lieberman. He and McCain were the ONLY two Senators who chickened out of voting for obvious political self-serving reasons.

115. There's a huge difference between allowing the war
and funding the troops.

He abstained from Kyl because he wanted language that explicitly stated no attack was approved.

You low information Clinton toadies really need to brush up on your stuff before you blather on.

64. Goddes of Obliteration, you mean?
You've got to be kidding me! What has she done to earn such a lofty title? These days she's sounding like a neocon (although I think a lot of it is desperation)

Obama v. McCain, OMG, Bob Dole's showing will look downright respectable compared to the drubbing McLame will take from my main man!

has lost...she is trying to damage Obama so he can not win. She believes in 2012 we will elect her-she would foist four years of McCain on us because of her political ambitions-it feels like 1994. Hillary Clinton is not fit to be president. She is destroying the Democratic Party.

Transmissions between here and zargon 5 take a few months to cross teh distances. The string resonance communicator has been on the fritz so they're having to resort to intergallactic robotic carrier pigeon.

When the grand Zargudata learns of her shameful defeat the many tentacled one will visit us and consumer her to keep her insanity from spreading. We don't want a nother Carlack 7!!!! Do we now? :eyes:

Clinton is not the person whose judgment we should depend on about who can be elected. She just lost her campaign to Obama and she's trying to give campaign advice. That would be like taking financial advice from the homeless.
