HuffPo Exclusive: Secret Memo Reveals Hillary's Red State Strategy for '08
HuffPo Exclusive: Secret Memo Reveals Hillary's Red State Strategy for '08


TO: ALL
FROM: HRCRSSCT (Hillary Rodham Clinton Red State Street Cred Team)
RE: BUILDING ON FLAG BURNING SUCCESS

Good news. Our internal polling is going through the roof over HRC’s signing on to Bennett’s flag burning bill. Our focus group feedback shows it’s the perfect have-it-both-ways positioning. We get to be pro-flag and anti-constitutional ban at the same time. Moderate Dems can embrace this as the lesser of two evils; Red Staters just know that we support Old Glory. Sure, we’re getting some blowback from the lefty blogs…but that actually helps up our Red state street cred. Messaging suggestion: HRC might want to lay off the flag burning/cross burning comparisons (even NASCAR dads don’t equate flag burning protestors with the KKK).

HRCRSSCT recommends that we continue to push the envelope with our Phase Two rollout. Here are the top ideas we discussed at our last meeting. Feedback and progress reports welcome.

Defense of Marriage Act (the Sequel)

HRC proposes amendment to Defense of Marriage Act making it mandatory for gays to marry… but only heterosexuals. It might even play both ways: she’s pro-gay marriage (indeed, it’s compulsory), but anti gays marrying gays. Insert language into HRC speech, something like “I know this can work, and I speak as someone with experience in troubled marriages.” Bonus: anytime HRC talks about her marriage her “sympathetic” numbers spike. Any chance HRC and BC could pull a Huckabee and re-state vows in a covenant marriage?

Shoot On Sight Border Patrol

A Red State “three-fer”: we score points with anti-immigration crowd, national security crowd (“shooting terrorists at the border so we don’t have to shoot them at home”), and the NRA crowd. Using Gingrich and Frist photo-op template, we should arrange press avail w/Minutemen and Wayne LaPierre (is Heston out of the question? Can we photoshop him in?) Synergistic legislative tie-in to:

<snip>

Sturgis Rally

The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is being held on August 7th, and we expect HRC to be the “Grand Marshall.” HRC has agreed to get three tattoos. Thoughts? Top suggestions so far: “Semper Fi,” “Live Fast Die Young”, and “Senators Do It on the Floor”. Check local chapter of Hell’s Angels for endorsement and temp renaming to “Hillary’s Angels”. Must be sure HRC’s motorcycle lessons are completed by then, and remind her to call her bike her “hog”. Also, what size bustier and leather skirt is HRC?

And of course this is satire.

8. Yes of course
but wouldn't you love to go to Sturgis to see Hillary getting tattoo's alongside Hell's Angels? A little leather for Hillary might be a good thing.

2. If Howard Dean proposed this, he would be hailed as a hero/genius
You know it's true.

3. I know some right-wingers who will pass this along as
'very important news' to their clueless friends.

One right-wing twit on vote.com message boards once passed around an article from "The Onion" as serious information to all her nitwit friends.

9. Heheheh...
me likee.

Hillary in leather. A freep's dream come true.

Have you ever seen some of the faked images those guys have come up with of Senator Clinton? Yeesh!

Well this time if Hillary runs for pres in '08, when the R's say "she'll do anything to get elected" I will have a tendency to agree with them on that point.

And no, not because of this particularly amusing piece at HuffPo.

11. I almost thought it was real...
Hillary seems desperate to act like a Republican, so until the tattoos, I was halfway to believing this... :D
