Clinton implys that Flordians should vote for John McCain

“I think people across Florida and Michigan are thinking to themselves,‘Well if the Democrats don’t want my vote, maybe John McCain and the Republicans do?’ We can’t let that happen,” she told the small crowd . . .

The untiy 08 ticket.

Peopel said it was crazy, but there she is talking about joining up with McSame.

They deserve each other.

I mean that in all seriousness.

She has lost her way. She is like Gollum running after "her precious."

She now scares me. I thnk she might go completely kukoo and destroy the party.

A week ago I thought that line of thinking was nuts. Now I think she is.

the republicans were right.

If we would have impeached Bill in 1998 Al Gore would be in office for 10 years.

She is NOT talking about her joining up with McCain.

In just one day, Clinton has used a variety of arguments to convince her party to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, going as far as comparing the struggles of the voters in Florida and Michigan to those of abolitionists, suffragists, to the plight of Zimbabweans. Clinton even warned that if a resolution is not reached, Democrats in these two states would feel abandoned and likely jump ship to Republican John McCain.

“I think people across Florida and Michigan are thinking to themselves, ‘Well if the Democrats don’t want my vote, maybe John McCain and the Republicans do?’ We can’t let that happen,” she told the small crowd .

Clinton pointed out that unlike the Republicans, the Democrats have not been able to solve the Florida issue in a timely fashion saying, “We have allowed ours to go on.”


Sounds like a lightly veiled suggestion to me.
'If you can't vote for me ... vote McCain'.

It is more fun to make up stuff and spout phony outrage.

McCain/Clinton - Iran, Be Scared.

McCain/Clinton - They eat baby bunnies for breakfast. Raw.

filling big venues? Did they only let seniors in?

:puke:

process to help her win on name recognition before the other candidates had a chance to present themselves to the voters.

Last Wednesday, Obama strutted out Edwards. I thought we'd get a little treat like that today. But he does like to build suspense. Maybe an announcement of some kind tomorrow or friday?

disgusting

How long must this farce continue? It's obvious to me that the Clintons want to destroy Obama. There's nothing to prove it otherwise.

At some point, even the most skeptical has to conclude that the Clintons are working against our victory this November. This is just one more of her comments in a never-ending string that clearly show where her heart is.

Tell me a reasonable answer to why Clinton would be working against a Democratic victory in Nov.

so much into things, it's mind-boggling.

problem can they? Either their hate has eroded away their intelligence or they are simply searching desperately for something more to hate about Clinton. Maybe this is an example of the 'dumbing' down of the US. Good God, I don't know. Unbelievable that people can read that statement made by Clinton and claim she is supporting McCain in some obscure manner. It's nutty. Hate destroys reason.

Her statement surely is not designed to making her audience more inclined to vote Democrat in the GE. But be full of shit. Why the hell not, it doesn't seem to bother you.

responses that educational standards are way below par in he US. Foxy way you got around saying I'm full of it. You are clever, aren't you.

And although I made a grammatical error in my last post, my education level is unimpeachable. I'm getting ready to pull a reverse Bill Clinton. We can hope I won't turn into the ginormous, dishonest asshole that he is, as I'm switching the order of degree affiliations.

get the message. Lady, you have a problem if you can't put that unimpeachable education to better use.

I'm not sure what interpretation of it you're trying to spin. Sure sounds like she's not shrinking away from the idea of them voting for McCain. She's presenting it and not challenging it as wrong or bad thinking. Which certainly adds validity to the idea.

She's tying it to Florida- and Hillary- not getting its (her) way. She's presented a reason (in her deluded mind) for them to behave this way (vote McCain) and refuses to say it's wrong. That's despicable. Particularly because her position on Florida and Michigan is such intellectually dishonest horse crap.

But I'm shocked you couldn't tell from my posts that I'm a sexist male (maybe it's because actually I just HATE liars).

is acceptable, even laudable.

Somebody can post a blatant lie and it has 50 recs before a rational person points out the lie. Then they still repeat it again and again and again.

God, I hate that woman.

Whatch out for rising blood pressure.

As well as anyone who advocates for her, advocating for him.

maturity you just might get something right. Clinton is advocating for McCain? Oh that really is erudite. Tell us more oh wise one.

I have never before seen such an abundance of ignorant stupidity in all my life from most of these kids who rave and rant for Obama. Bring on the straight jackets!

Can't pass up an opportunity to vilify her, can they now?

She is insistant on destroying the Democratic Party if she doesn't win.


It is confirmed now she is JoeLieberman in a pantsuit....this needs to end now.

A reading comprehension course might be in order, maybe.

By insisting on the disenfranchisement of Florida and Michigan voters!

Hillary Clinton has been fighting for their rights from Day One!

Hillary will get the nomination or the Democrats will lose. That's the bottom line. Operation Chaos!

I hope that's the case. :-)

Part of me wants to see the GOP get some of their own medicine in the form of Hillary Clinton. She totally appeals to my cynical we are all doomed to perish from global warming anyways side. Hillary Clinton represents a win at all cost never say quit, change the rules at every advantage path to power, and you have to respect that. You keep writing her off, and she keeps coming back.

I used to admire her, but part of me want to see her just destroy the entire Democratic party so that we can start from scratch. Let her convince the Democratic part that whites will never vote for a minority in a general election, while also throwing the sexism card whenever she is called on it.

Remember the SNL skit? Was that sarcasm or was that the cold hard truth? Its hard to tell the difference isn't it?

their stupor. It is true, Obama can play the underhanded game just as well as any other pol. That's good tho', he'll fit right in in DC if he makes the big WH. Clinton's right, every voter should have their vote counted in the primaries. Too bad the 'educated' Obama loud mouths fail to use their 'educations'.

...the DNC rules, they would be punished?

What the hell are you talking about? :shrug:

BS. She is out to bring the party down if she isn't the candidate.

Anything to give an occasion for the hate to which these people have become addicted. They're hooked on their hate and must have it now, truth be damned!

I think she added: "and they would have a pretty compelling case" or something like that.

She more than implies that they should vote for McCain. She pretty much said that if their votes aren't counted, they'd have a good reason for voting GOP.

Make me VP and I'll bring my supporters back in line and help Dems win the general election.
Don't make me VP and I'll signal that my supporters shouldn't vote for Obama and McCain will win.

It's game theory.

She figures she has a strong enough hand to make the Dems lose the election, and damn it she's willing to play that hand if she has to. So she figures Obama has no choice but to make her VP.

Possible flaws with this strategy:
1) She might be toxic to the ticket anyway in termns of boosting Republican turnout, so Obama might figure he's still better off with someone else, and the Dems are just weaker.
2) If Obama doesn't select her as VP, does she have a credible threat? Not really, so she's trying to lock herself in now.
