I think most of us would like to thank Bill Clinton for blowing the election for his wife


Well, at least we won't have this disaster to worry about anymore.

But damn, Hillary must be pissed. First Bill shamed her when he was the president, and now he's cost her the presidency himself.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? How about one whose husband cost her the presidency after repeatedly cheating on her?

Good news though for HP'ers is that Clinton's stupid 5-year freeze on housing gambler interest rates and 90 day freeze on housing gambler foreclosures is as dead as her campaign.

Bush / Clinton / Bush / Clinton - nope.

She'll win. Last time I checked she was still up by 100 delegates.

Its going to be a close one, but I think in the end, she wins.

I voted for Obama, but she still carried my state, Jersey. Not sure how, with all the campaigning Obama did in the state, I thought it was sealed for him.

Was there some headline that I missed this morning? Did Hillary drop out? Let's not count our chickens before they are hatched. Hillary still has the entire donkey political establishment behind her, including a majority of the super-delegates.

Compare this picture of Bill Clinton to the 17 year old clean cut kid who met President Kennedy at the White House of just 5 years earlier. How do you account for the change? 3-4 assassinations, riots in the streets, the fear of being sent of to Vietnam, the spreading of the sex, drug, rock counter culture and viola you create the "baby boomer" phenomenon.

That's how they created this mess, folks. Shock trauma, one after the other.

Trust me, it's over. She lost.

Money is the mother's milk of politics, and momentum is the daddy.

Hillary ain't got either. Watching her campaign implode is like watching home prices in Miami now.

Keith,

I wish I personally knew you to put a bet on this one. I say Clinton wins this one. She's got the tough and she has had the same momentum since the whole thing started. Always up by 100 delegates. I say she wins.

What, HRC's campaign is dead? I missed the news story about the wooden stake through her heart.

The last time I saw a photo of Obama in public, he had six Secret service guys. Now that the Clinton's are desperate, it might be wise to increase the size of his SS detail to 12.

Keith,

Something on the same note.

Republicans always try to game the system. Always, and that's why I dispise the party even more.

In 2000, they knew that Howard Dean stood a better chance of defeating Bush, and you know what happened to him after that famous Iowa caucus. Fox and friends defamed him as a maniac. What a bunch of loosers, and it's sad Americans chewed this.

This time, even though I like Obama, they will destroy him if he wins the democratic nomination. Destroy him. And I say they rather see him in the Democratic ticket, than see Hillary. I think they see him as an easier target.

Let's just say they havent even attacked the guy. If he wins the ticket, they'll destroy him. Remember when in Fox, they refer to him as Osama. Fox news even had a poll yesterday asking who would be an easier candidate for John McCain to beat. The most popular answer, you guessed it, Hillary. According to the poll, most believe Hillary is an easier candidate to beat. These guys might be smarter than the average smuck, but they dont fool me.

I hope you're right Keith. As lame as I think Obama is he's still a hell of a lot better than Clinton or that psychopath McCain. Question is - will it be Vice President Hillary and then two months into his presidency will Obama have a fatal accident with a pretzel?

Sorry Keith.

As much as we ALL wish Hillary would go away, the dems threw away their vote. This will go to the "Super-Delagates", and they will annoint Clinton II.

The only ray of hope is that enough dems vote for comrade McCain since the people don't like Hil'. No way he gets a second term since NOBODY likes him.

Hillary stood by her man.

It’s the kind of 'family value' I respect.

It’s the level of commitment we need in a leader.

America’s enemies will feel her wrath, and not the imperfect male whom she's committed to.

Look; no man is perfect, besides us HPers of course.

The sadistic onslaught by the perverted religious right on the Clintons is a much greater sin then the ‘lying under oath about his personal business’ accusation.

Malcolm said...

I wouldn’t blame Bill too much. He’s doing the best he can with the material he has.

Part of Hillary’s problem comes from the fact that she comes across as being a “mean person”. I never cared for Bill’s policies, and I didn’t vote for him (twice), but the fact is: I like the guy. He looks like someone you could enjoy having a beer with.

Hillary, on the other hand, is like (to steal someone’s quote): the old guy who keeps your ball when it falls into his yard.

The fact that Hillary and Obama are so close after Super Tuesday is not good for her. She’ll win Texas (and most of its 228 delegates), but if it’s a money sprint then the advantage has to go to Obama.

The big money advantage he has over her (aside from the fact that he has money and she’s going broke), is that most of Hillary’s donors have already maxed out their legal limit.

She had the money up front because her core supporters gave the max $2300, whereas Obama’s donations were coming in $100-$500 at a time. That means that her core donors are tapped out; they can’t give anymore; where Obama can go back to the well if he wants.

Here’s a chart showing the schedule for the rest of the primaries, with an indication of race and gender:

http://bp0.blogger.com/_VLNbQBSqCFI/R6uEdJ5nSSI/AAAAAAAAAaI/TaQP__VaNFI/s1600-h/PriSch.JPG

Obama traditionally does poorly in Hispanic neighborhoods (which is why he’ll lose Texas), but he stands a very good chance of picking up much of the 476 delegates in the next three races (2/9-2/12)

To that add the fact that it is obvious to anyone in the know that a Hillary nomination (even having her on the ticket at all), will solidify the republican party like it hasn’t been in years; whereas an Obama nomination would suck a massive amount of votes away from the republicans.

Insiders in the democratic party already know this, and are trying to figure out a way to broom her before she costs them yet another election.

If I were Obama, I would nominate a woman other than Hillary as his running mate.

Chris said...

Look at the states that are coming up.

Washington Caucus = Obama
Louisiana = African americans 4 obama
Nebraska = flyover for Obama
Maryland = Obama
Virginia = Obama
Washigton DC = African Americans 4 obama

Hawaii = Home state 4 Obama
Wisconsin = State above illinois 4 Obama

He will have so much frigging momentum, I don't think Texas, Pennsylvania and Ohio will be enough to rescue Hitlery

Anonymous said...

I so hope you are right...How in this green Earth someone can believe another Clinton in Washington is a good thing is beyond me. I was burned by supporting another Bush and I can promise you that it was a mistake I will never make again. The party lines are so blury its not Dems vs. Rep like in the past...they are all on the take. The only difference you can make is to vote new blood in every 4 years so it takes longer to establish connections and corruption cost more...Come on and do your part...vote change (Any Change)

Burned by bush...

You say that both parties are the same, than how come you keep voting Republican. I will tell you why, because they are different. That is why you have republicans and democrats.

I said it from the beginning, I could care less who wins the nomination, as long as it's not a Republican, I'm happy. For some odd reason republicans think this will end if they choose a different person, i.e. McCain. McCain will problably start a couple of wars if you ask me.

We are sick of this and we want the Republicans OUT. OUT.

I continue to think Hillary will destroy McCain anytime, but Obama will not. Obama will not. I can see all those states that voted for Obama in the primaries, giving their votes away to McCain during the regular election. They dont want a black president and it's the truth. Those states are not like the Northern states, where Obama would win. I would rather see Obama run as a vice president. Period.

Plus she has an advantage with the super delegates.

But anyway, let's say you are right....I am voting for Clinton, but if it is Obama vs McCain.. then Juan McCain will get my vote. And this is a big reality now.

Hillary will win the primary but lose in the general election to McCain.

McCain will be a joke of a one-termer, get voted out in 2012, when Hillary will win and succeed him as president.

Which means we get 8 years of hell instead of 4.

I'd much rather see Hillary win now, the democrats will then get flushed out in 2010 and republicans would take a 2/3 majority in congress after Hillary ruins the dem party forever, and then a real republican (not McCain) would win the White House in 2012.

Anyone voting for Obama must be sleeping with a copy of The Communist Manifesto under their pillows. The only reason to vote for him is that you want free sh*t at the expense of those of use who actually work.

She's winning and she has the machinery in place.

The democrats nominated the only guys in their party who couldn't beat Bush in 2000 and 2004 in that they voted for the priveledged white guys who couldn't point out the fact that Bush never could have gotten where he was without nepotism. They'll do it again by nominating the most devisive figure in modern political history who also happens to have been stupid enough to have voted for the war.

The only way the democrats lose this election is to nominate Hillary, so my money is on Hillary. They deserve what they get.

So it's unanimous. The replies to this blog have reached a consensus. The following events will definitely happen:

I dont know whether it will be Clinton or Obama, but I do not understand those folks who think continuing on the current path is the way to go.

Bush is the worst president ever. Initiating a costly war that got us nothing and sent our kids the bill. I pay my bills and demand that my government do the same. I am completely against the war, but if we decide to do it, I want to pay for it, not hand the bill to my kids. Tax breaks for the rich? My wife and I make 250K and dont pay shit (percentagewise) compared to the guy working at 7-eleven. I am asking for tax increases for those who have made the most (including myself) - lets pay our f'ing bills or start learning chinese.

To all you Hillary haters out there! Please just get on board with her because if Obama gets the Dem Nomination there's a very good chance McCain will be the next president. IF YOU WATCHED THE EARLY DEBATES OBAMA SEEMED AS IF HE WAS LEARNING ON THE JOB AND USING HILLARY'S AND EDWARDS WORDS ALOT. Just think Obama vs McCain in a debate! The GOP smear machine will easily show Obama as very in expereinced with national security and Mccain as the safe bet.The pundits will have a field day with Obama. Hillary will wipe the floor with McCain! McCain will be the lapdog for the conservatives and we will suffer a far worse fate then 8 yrs of Bush. VOTE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT!
IF YOU DON'T EARN OVER 200K A YEAR THEN YOU WILL NOT BENEFIT FROM ANYTHING A REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION CAN OFFER. SO IF YOU ARE IN THAT HIGH INCOME BRACKET AND VOTE REPUBLICAN THEN YOU ARE JUST A GREEDY ROBBER BARON WITH NO REGARD FOR HUMANITY AND THOSE WITH LESSER.

For the people who still think the president's wife is gonna win, I'm just telling you how it's gonna be. Tomorrow's headlines here today on HP.

Just look at the calendar, look at the trends and look at the money. The Democratic race is O-V-E-R. The only thing Hillary can do now to win is quite frankly knock off her competition, which is a true worry of mine.

Now will Bloomberg run? I don't think he will with McCain / Obama. Clinton/Romney he would have. But he has no niche with the two centrists winning.

My general election prediction - Obama 40 state landslide.

This is not an endorsement. It's just a prediction.

WASHINGTON - Former President Clinton says he's learned a lesson from the dustup over his remarks on the campaign trail — he can promote his wife's presidential candidacy, but he's not free to defend her.
ADVERTISEMENT

Bill Clinton also said that everything he said in South Carolina about Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was "factually accurate," but a lot that has been said about what he said is "factually inaccurate."

"I think the mistake that I made is to think that I was a spouse like any other spouse who could defend his candidate," Clinton said, referring to his wife, New York Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, who is waging a hard-fought contest with Obama for the Democratic nomination.

"I think I can promote Hillary but not defend her because I was president. I have to let her defend herself or have someone else defend her," Clinton said in an interview with NBC affliate WCSH-TV as he was campaigning in Portland, Maine, Thursday.

To be honest with you, I used to like McCain, until he started backing Bush in everything he said. I dont want Bush again in the white house. This is far more scarier than that Clinton, impeachment crap. And seriously, how does sleeping with someone make Bill a bad president. He was one of the best presidents we ever had.

My thoughts on McCain (and remember, I'm from AZ):

1) a fraud and a fake. ran in 2000 against the "agents of intolerance" the christian right wingers, got killed in SC, so in 2008 he kissed their ring knowing it was the only way his power-mad self could win. pathetic.

2) is pro illegals, pro amnesty. nuff said.

3) wrong on iraq

4) way to old and mean and angry to be president. yesterday's news.

5) has been in dc for 100 years, part of the problem. nuff said.

6) keating 5. nuff said.

7) would be the wrong man at the wrong time to be president. a caretaker, a one-termer.

8) he bores me.

that said, he'd be a definite improvement from the monkey currently in the white house.

I'm actually rooting for huckabee now for the GOP - against all hope. he's the only candidate supporting the fair tax. even though he's a nut on most other stuff. And now that RP is one of 3 left, let's see if he can get a few more delegates to matter.

But to say so about the others is fair game, but for Clinton it's sexist and Obama it's racist?

The prescience of the film "Idiocracy" is astounding, can we expect to see a future presidential race ran by the Bush twins and the Hilton sisters with the winners selected on the basis of who has the perkiest tits?

Hillary got some more sympathy campaign funds today (after she dumped in $5M). She can be polarizing, but it's to your disadvantage if you continue acting whack over it. Its a tactic that weeds out the whack, and clears the path to the real opponent/opposition.

I'd love to see Gingrich, Delay, Paul, Bloomberg start a third party campaign. McCain is not a conservative! Split the vote on principle!

It seems to me that on this blog I'm hearing alot of MEN say that they hate or wont vote for Hillary. I think shes a good candidate as compared to McCain and Obama I don't label her as a woman or inferior but I do see her as highly experienced with politics and national security issues, compassionate and who isn't some crazy war mongering power mad fasist nazi type. I see her as rational doesn't talk to god is very educated a lady who I would not be embarrased to represent America when abroad. i do see her as ending the war and not starting new ones, I see Hillary as America going forward and m ccain as leading into the 4th Reich. I see Obama as very bright but more like an over confident intern honestly. I do see Obama as black only as a positive thing to bring more black people and minorities into government to represent all america's people.
I see Obama as a vice President as Obama could be able to bring countries together in peace but not the final decision maker
I think anything other then a white male is a good start for this Male Dominated Rich White society.
Knowing what the right wing spin machine and election fraud is possible to achieve I really think Hillary is are safest bet to avoid anoither Republican Admin to STEER US RIGHT OFF THE CLIFF!

Actually I am taking a different tack. You can trash me or call me an old fart Baby Boomer, but I now look for a leader of this country to have the least ambition for self benefit, post Presidency. Eisenhower, Reagan, Truman and others were old. They had little to gain personally other than promote their own dogma politics. The young ones like Clinton obiviously has plans for personal gain. He and his wife accumulated $85 million during her years as a Senator. so far. He made some of his best income as an influence peddlar. With Hillary as President, can you fathom what price Bill will sell out the country for? And what Bill and Hillary will collect afterwards as spoils, if Hillary was President? It's scary, but what would you expect from a lawyer and sex predator.

Frankly I am putting my bet on McCain. He can't benefit from post Presidency spoils, he'll be too old, besides after Vietnam, I bet he doesn't thrive on materialism. If he lasts one term, he could not do too much damage with a Democratic Congress. Hillary and a D Congress will be devastating. I'm for Less is More.

That's my thoughts as a desenchanted, lied to, screwed, cheated baby boomer who was one of the 50 million lemmings who made millions for the rich and now is discarded as a drain on the economy, root of all evil. To that I say B!S!

I repeat, if you vote for Obama, McCain will be the next president to continue Bush/Cheney's legacy, including new phony wars to make money to the same cronies.

All that Hillary bashing that you've been watching daily by the corrupt MSM will shift to Obama, just like it happened to Kerry and Howard Dean. They will pick on anything minor that Obama does, turn into a monster, and play on the screen to death, Britney's style.

No only that, the GOP slime machine will destroy Obama, which hasn't been tested yet against those evil maniacs. Hillary has been tested for decades and keeps beating them.

If Obama runs against McCain, the shady group that profits from wars, fake security contracts, and high priced oil, will come up with another phony terror event to make McCain seem stronger than Obama in national security. Pay attention to how "new Osama and Al-Qaeda" videos will start popping up fresh from the CIA oven until elections.

We know that Americans are nothing but a bunch of sheeple and they buy anything that corrupt MSM loops infinitely on the dumb's screen. Remember the "security moms" and Kerry's Swift boat BS?

Oh, and one more thing, if the Republicans were so concerned about national security, why are the borders still wide open for anyone to get in, including tons of drugs from Mexico? Do you really think that it's hard for any terrorist to pay off Mexican coyotes to come across the border?

If you think that national security is a priority, you are a fool. All that matters is creating phony boogieman tales, in order to transfer taxpayer money to Republican cronies through shady contracts, like Giuliani's company has been doing since 9-11. That's why Giuliani has endorsed McCain, to keep getting security contracts at taxpayer expense. He knows that McCain will be another Bush, including pushing amnesty to millions of illegals. And watch out Iran because Lieberman and all his pals back in Israel are in love with McCain. Meanwhile our bridges are collapsing for lack of maintenance and the dollar is in the toilet. Priorities anyone?

So, if you're really interested in changing the current situation, vote for Hillary instead. Obama will be destroyed by the GOP slime machine, by all the powerful shady groups that profit from wars and turmoil in the Middle East, and by the corrupt MSM that works as a bootlicker for those shady groups.
Don't fall for their trick that somehow Obama, a black liberal Democrat, is suddenly loved by the MSM and GOP. Out of the blue, everyone is in love with Obama. Wake up, people. It's a trick to get rid of a much tougher opponent, which happens to be Hillary.

I've been saying Hillary is next for a year, and I see no reason to change that prediction.

Hillary still has more delegates. She doesn't really have any experience in governing, but she knows how to run a political machine, and she has a political machine to command. The super delegates are hers to command. She will win the nomination.

McCain has the nomination, but he did it by winning in Democratic states, states he won't win in the general. Democrats have twice the turnout of Republicans this cycle. Not to mention that people vote the economy in presidential elections, and the economy is sucking, and will suck worse by the election.

So it's gonna' be Hillary/McCain, and she'll win it.

Hillary stood by her man.

It’s the kind of 'family value' I respect.

Exactly, and thats what pisses off the religious right and why they are so much against her. She actually put Jesus's words into practice and forgave him. That makes their hipocrisy look all the more bad.

Dubya Shrub + Penis Shooter = "Little Boy" + "Fat Man"

This nation and its Americano citizen is as toasted as a snapper turtle skewered on a stick from head to ass all sizzling, juices dripping, fat popping over a bed of white hot charcoal grill.

Americano = Grilled Snapper Turtle

Heeeee... Haaaaa... Arrrrr...

So, tell me, does the average Americano take it enough in the butt yet by the forceful penetration of "Little Boy" + "Fat Man", or do you want more "Enter The Dragon" ?

Americano = Being Entered By The Dragon up the Kazook

Heeeee... Haaaaa... Arrrrr...

And all of you sub-human retards, ass-head that voted for SHRUB and worshiped his ASS over the last 8 years, guess what, the chicken are coming home to roost on your head-ass. Are you sorry yet ? Do you feel ashamed and stupid about your shallow thinking, narrow-minded love and swoon for DUBYA ? Do you, do you, do you ???

I blame the Dems for f*cking up America with their terrible leadership. They were a terrible opposition party these past few years and still are (reid/pelosi exhibit 1)

Hillary needs more money? No problem, I'm sending $50 on Monday. And I'll send more if she needs it. Hey everyone out there who's sick of Republicans destroying the country and then blaming on the Clintons, get your checkbooks out and save your future.

I was making much more money and my cost of living was much cheaper with Clinton than anytime the Republicans were running the show, and that includes the farce Reagan. Plus the dollar was strong to travel overseas. No more Republicans as presidents, ever!

Keefer,
as always.
right on housing
wrong on the US dollar
wrong on calling this one.

Hillary will be our next president.

Although, I’m a little concerned about her foreign policy.

I just will not allow the religious right sex police win.

It is an evolutionary battle, the reason the religious sex police hate her so much,
(really frightened of her) is the exact reason I want her to win.

I would have voted for a black person with substance too,
But Obama???

Poleeeeze.. give me a break. He’s an idiot repeating the same word over and over and the sheeple are getting it.

You people are morons. Hillary is a centrist, yet annoying woman. Obama is a communist yet charming man.

If you care about personality over issues you are truly DOPES.

Jason said...

Anonymous, you idiot, when Hillary and Barak were in the Senate together, they voted the same 94% of the time. There's no meaningful difference. They're both leftists on social policies, and corrupt crony capitalists on economic policies. No different than the leaders of any other banana republic. I think we may end up missing Bush. You might not agree with his vision for the world, but he at least had a vision of the world, one that extended beyond personal enrichment and increased control of the day-to-day lives of average Americans.

Keith,

That's exactly why I say you are a Republican. Somehow, you spin stuff to blame it on the Dems. And actually, you can do that with just about everything. You know that. I will refute your claim with the truth here.

Check this out.

The democrats did not have any good candidates or leadership (subjective - I think they were by far, better than Bush, both); therefore it is Dems fault. Are you serious??? Gore won the Novel peace price for GOD's sake. What the hell is wrong with you guys. I am not even going to mention Kerry, all I will say is that I dont think you can find anyone worst than Bush. An analogy: I fell yesterday leaving my house, it is your fault for not being there to catch me. Hahahaha.

Why are you saying they were not good candidates? The 2 best presidents in the last 40 years were democrat. And that's 2 out of three (Kennedy and Clinton) presidents.

In the mean time, republicans had one (very subjective - since I am democrat independent), who was Reagan (1 out of 6).

Sounds like a better chance that a democrat will be a better president, dont you agree?

Then you go and mention the Opposition party, Reid and Polosi. Oh great, what a joke. So what you are telling me is that the Dems were in power of congress from 2000 until 2007. Or is that backwards, the Republicans had majority vote of the house, congress and executive. Keith, get your stuff straight.

The Republican party did whatever they wanted from 2001 until end 2007 because the american people voted them into the the congress and executive branch and the Republican government abused that power. A total mistake by the american people and a total failure. You should know this.

Refute this Keith, and find a way to blame the Democrats. But you know that the abuses this government has comited are only to be blamed on the people that voted for this government and the government itself. Take responsibility for your mistakes and stop blaming it on a party that wasn't even the majority. Polisi and Read didnt even matter in the last 7 years. Why do you think that all of a sudden Bush is Polosi's best fried. Answer = because the Dems finally won the congress at the end of 2007.

Yeah, but you keep pushing the GOP Kool-Aid here almost daily on your blog and keep voting Republican no matter how grotesque is the GOP's candidate. Let me guess, you're another Republican who's suddenly in love with a Black Democratic candidate for president of the USA

You Republican loyalists seem like those hardcore Muslims who grow up being brainwashed that the Clintons are sinners and the only good thing out there is the GOP, no matter how much they screw up the country.

We had 7 years of Republican White House, Republican majority in the Senate and House: The country is bankrupt, 2 phony wars going on, the dollar is in the toilette, the price of oil went from $8 to $90, the biggest bubble in history, biggest deficit in history, and the list goes on and on.

But you Republican freaks still want another Republican as president to keep the destruction. You are nothing but a radical Muslim clone.

I probably said I would vote to have bush impeached, waterboarded and brought up on war crimes charges, maybe that's why you're confused.

To quote Glenn Beck:

"The Republicans have become Democrats and the Democrats have become Socialists."

That being said:

Hillary and Obama are essentially the same. They are the two most liberal Senators in Congress.

Mccain poses as a Rep. but his record shows him to be a Dem.

Where does this leave me?

I HATE Mccain; he's an angry old war-monger with no clue about the economy. No offense to Vets whom I admire greatly, but I believe they are too damaged by their war experience to hold the highest office in the nation. However, I HATE Socialists even more. I don't want anyone to tell me I have to buy healthe care and I certainly don't want to foot the bill for those who can't afford it. TOO BAD. It's called a free market.
This country is still democratic capitalist one but every day our liberties are being taken away...Patriot Act anyone?
I realize an idiot named Bush got that enacted; we all agree Bush was a mistake.

People, look beyond that stupid letter at the end of the candidates names and look at their record instead. That being said I am still figuring out this pile of crap we were given as candidates. Maybe a miracle will happen and the GOP will hold a brokered convention.

And as for the broker border, neither party cares because the North American Union is in the works....do some research, its real. There's no other plausible explanation why it's stayed broker for so long and neither Dems or Reps cared to fix it.

I voted for Bush in 2000, I was a Republican, and Bush was campaiging on a policy of conservatism and non intervention in foreign affairs.

in 2004, I was disgusted with Iraq, and I voted for Kerry and a Democrat for the first time ever.

I am now disgusted with both parties and consider myself to be a libertarian.

I won't vote for McCain because the war in iraq is bankrupting America and making us less safe in regards to the war on terror because our presence is causing even more hatred than before.

I don't like the welfare and nanny state that the democratic party brings. Let people keep their own money and be responsible for their own success or failure.

2000 = Bush
2004 = Kerry
2008 = Ron Paul Write in

As far as I am concerned I picked the best one every election.

For what its worth if I had to pick between McCain and Obama I would vote Obama. However, I will just write in Ron Paul.

The point I am making is if you Democrats want to win this November, then Obama is the answer, because if someone who voted Bush in 2000 would vote for Obama but never Hillary that basically describes the level of hatred most America has for Hillary and you cannot possibly win with her.

Especially with illegal aliens going McCain which is her main base besides lesbians.

lemming,
Reagan made $2M for one speech in Osaka, Japan, very soon after leaving the White House. He admitted to his desire of making speeches on the "mashed potato" circuit. He probably would have made millions more if he hadn't gotten sick. GHWB makes a killing making speeches to anybody who'll pay, and his son W is itching to get out and “replenish the ol’ coffers.” These are the benefits of being on the inside...hardly a valid measurement for any future politico.

alba said...

With all of the Republicans choosing to retire, or not run again, for reasons like having sex with other men in public places, or just being a crook (Doolittle), the override veto count is looking good. We could have W back in for a third term, or even Keith, and its not going to matter.

Funny, many of the so called "anti-socialists" here, because of Universal Healthcare proposals, don't realize that their own health insurances won't cover them for serious interventions or disability.

I bet that your make-believe health insurance policy that you hold, won't cover for major cases. And I hope that the time comes when you really need your insurance for something major and the insurance company will leave you or your family hanging, as they usually do. You need to learn a lesson.

So, unless you're very wealthy (which I seriously doubt) or a politician, your health insurance sucks. Don't be so cocky because life has a strange sense of humor, and that big truck may be waiting for you at the next intersection, or that cancer inside of you may finally decide to say hello.

Historians will be amazed that the US almost elected the wife of a president as president

We laugh at North Korea, Cuba, Syria and others who have nepotism and corruption like this. And then we get Bush/Bush and almost Clinton/Clinton.

It's embarrassing, it's shameful, and oh what a mess.


Strange, it wasn't that embarrassing or shameful when it was time to elect the son (Bush 2) of a disgraceful president (Bush 1).

All the Republicans thought that electing the son of a horrible and incompetent former president was a great idea, TWICE. Not only that, these Republican geniuses voted knowing that the son of the former president had been a f*ck up for most of his adult life, doing coke and being an alcoholic until he was 40 years old.

But now it's so horrible to elect the wife of a former president who was better than both Bushies and Reagan together? Funny how the evil minds or Republicans work.

I know, I know, you Republicans are special and know better, even though the country is currently in shambles after 7 years of Republican administration and majority in Senate and House.

First of all, that's really nice that you'd wish I'd "learn a lesson" by hoping I get a serious disease. Way to go , pal. For the record, I lost my mother to cancer at a very young age so "lesson learned."

And secondly, I think we can all agree that if you have insurance, it should cover major illnesses. I'd call THAT health care reform. I don't believe the government should (i.e., my tax $) foot the bill for those who can't afford it. Its called a free market; supply and demand. If more people are covered on their own dime, the cost just might go down.

And let's not forget about quality of care....ask the Canadians how long it takes to see a Dr.
