The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line | 70 comments (70 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (4.00 / 2)

Did you see this? Per Jake Tapper - a DNC official says the only thing she has left is the Tonya Harding option:

The question is -- what will Clinton have to do in order to achieve it?
What will she have to do to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, in order to eke out her improbable victory?
She will have to "break his back," the official said. She will have to destroy Obama, make Obama completely unacceptable.
"Her securing the nomination is certainly possible - but it will require exercising the 'Tonya Harding option.'" the official said. "Is that really what we Democrats want?"

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (none / 0)

"Obama is a victim" posts are quite tiresome.
And Jake Tapper will publish anything to increase ratings - even if it means Obama followers getting all upset about nothing.
No - Hillary won't break his back - and there is no big mean Clinton Machine to take him down.
But whatever it takes - to cast Obama as the "victim."

Obama is dividing the Dem Party with his race-baiting and name calling.

Actually, I thought it was funny.

I think you missed that. But you don't seem to have much of a sense of humor.

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (none / 0)

Nice try at diverting the discussion. It's not about Obama the victim, it's about Clinton's character. She has proved herself petty, clueless, and ruthless even to the point of providing McCain and the GOP with winning arguments against herself. Her blatant hypocrisy has reached the point where she's becoming indistinguishable from Bush and McCain.

She has shown that she'll do anything to win. I think most of us have had enough of that -- it's what the demand for change is all about. Obama is no victim -- he's taking care of business brilliantly. It's Clinton who is the increasingly pathetic victim of her own blind ambition and inability to understand the consequences of what she says. Her gracelessness is in the spotlight for all the world to see. She deserves compassion for what she is bringing down on herself and her future credibility, but she has shown beyond the slightest doubt that she if fit for neither the nomination nor the White House. Ever.

Bush is "the first President to admit to an impeachable offense." --Former Nixon counsel John Dean

And don't forget that the newspaper she delivered her drivel to is not a mistake either, but rather owned by Richard Mellon Scaife...and as a philanderer, is so enamored by the philanderer par excellence, that apparently all is forgiven.

So let's see that's

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (none / 0)

Obama is race baiting??? Up is down then. Isn't this the b**ch slap theory of Rove--smear someone then when it's pointed out you say they're whining or "playing the victim".

Beautiful. This is not how Democrats should be talking about each other. Huckabee and McCain showed more dignity about this, unfortunately.

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (none / 0)

Hillary's selfish and destructive gamble will fail miserably. The carcass of Billary's legacy left for the pickings.
A few months ago most of us would have gone along with a Hillary candidacy, but since Iowa her fatal character flaws have become way to obvious.

Re: The Clintons Have Crossed the Final Line (none / 0)

Clinton plans to go the distance for the next three months.

What will she do when Jeff Sharlet's book, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power is published in May?

I highlighted here on Sunday - Hillary's Ties to Religious Fundamentalists
- Barbara Ehrenreich, Alternet.

When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, Hillary Clinton is a lot more vulnerable than Barack Obama.
Does NOW know this?
Furthermore, the Family takes credit for some of Clinton's rightward legislative tendencies, including her support for a law guaranteeing "religious freedom" in the workplace, such as for pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions and police officers who refuse to guard abortion clinics.
Obama has given a beautiful speech on race and his affiliation with the Trinity Unity Church of Christ. Now it's up to Clinton to explain -- or, better yet, renounce -- her longstanding connection with the fascist-leaning Family.

Come May, Emily's List and Now will be asking some pointed questions, No? Perhaps sooner. This entry by BooMan has received replicating and links through the Blogosphere.

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"
