    Hillary and Nader are multimillonaires who will do anything to help McCain so they can keep their top 1 percent tax cuts

    HILLARY IS MENTALLY ILL CLUB

    *before that I just found her to be a distasteful, opportunistic liar.

    C'mon, guysf: Yes, H.C. is saying unkind things about B.O. They are what's called in the real world -- opponents.
    This from an editorial in today's NYTimes: "There is a lot of talk that Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton is now fated to lose the Democratic nomination and should pull out of the race. We believe it is her right to stay in the fight and challenge Senator Barack Obama as long as she has the desire and the means to do so. That is the essence of the democratic process."
    I could care less whether Hillary wins, loses or drops her drawers in the Oval Office, but back off, please, and let democracy take its course.

    She'll probably have her book on Obama and the campaign ready for publication in August. The Clintons already won the presidential sweepstakes once and capitalized on it. Why won't they give it a rest?

    Time for a good ole Shunning..........

    how about we focus on McStain and his senior moments???
  • aquarius2 · 1 year ago
    All I want is for HIllary to stop with the negative crap she has pulled, , citing/slamming Obama on his health is fair game, hell she has nothing else to grab onto at this point.

    But the question is WHY is she still out there? If she persists in following through the next, what 6 contests, then I am falling into the camp that says she is out to destroy Obama in preparation for a run in 2012

    Honestly, I've been fed up with Hillary, but this one doesn't particularly bother me. First, it's about policy, not a character attack. And second, she's taking him from the left rather than from the right; it's not like McCain is going to be able to pick this up and tell Obama is health plan isn't inclusive enough. I'm already convinced she should bow out, based on her comments about white working class voters and her shenanigans concerning Michigan and Florida, but this isn't a big deal.
  • cspan2 · 1 year ago
    What she says about Obama's health plan is inconsequential, as the specifics will mean little to nothing in the general election. The beef the GOP will have is that he has health plan. They don't want anyone covered by a government system and that will really be their issue.

    this post should read "Hillary Clinton attacks Democratic nominee".

    Hillary's campaign is in its LAST THROES.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    She's starting to resemble the bride jilted at the alter but still hanging around the church in her wedding dress with a crazy look in her eye.
  • moxiegrrrl · 1 year ago
    Yep, for about 2 hours there, I thought she was going to do the right thing. She had canceled her appearances and seemed to be downshifting. Nope. Apparently she was just taking a deep breath.

    It's very sad actually. I am watching people who stood by each other lamenting the Bush administration deeds turn to yelling at each other as though they were trolls. Thanks Hil.

    well I have a link: seethesign.com, it tell how to spot the early sign of Alzheimer, maybe it just me but along with PTSD, I also see some sign of early stages of Alzeimer. I am really worried about John Mc cain.

    Design Hillarys next Tee Shirt, her website is accepting t shirt designs.

    What would be a good design for a Hillary Clinton Tee Shirt? Maybe just a fat lady singing.
  • Bush_Bites · 1 year ago
    17 (!) members of Congress calling themselves "Swing-State Democrats" wrote a letter to their colleagues today to support Hillary.

    Gotta say:. Any group with 3 members from NY State and 3 members from Texas are just pulling your leg when they call themselves "swing state."
  • Reason0Politics1 · 1 year ago
    typical scorched earth style, is all it is. we have been reduced to that. Although i have yet to see Obama do anything negative..it truely is amazing. However, cant expect much difference from a obama presidency. hes just as owned by power as the others are. no president can fix what bush has done to the US. we are done.
  • JMOHR · 1 year ago
    Well, here goes my rating but I went back to the original article. It is a policy difference but it is not an attack as in wright, elitiest and so forth. However, HRC should also be attacking McCain who would gut insurance and throw everyone into the pool as individuals against insurance sharks. This makes me really suspicious the HRC want Obama to lose despite the damage that would occur to the country with McCain as president for four years.
  • 1BobbyBlue2 · 1 year ago
    Wow, John, did Hillary kick you out of bed at least once? Jeez, fellow, bring it down a notch -- maybe even take a vacation (until after the November election). Screw her, screw Obama, screw McCain -- not one of them is worth the heart attack you're working your way toward.
  • MommaKat · 1 year ago
    Rick, I have to respectfully disagree with your assesement that she's talking from the left on this issue. As a nurse and single mother I have a vested interest in changing the problems inherint in our broken healthcare system. Her plan actually serves to protect the corporations that are honestly at the root of most of our aberrantly high health care costs, it isn't true universal coverage, and she only addresses the cost of insurance premiums.

    Sen. Clinton would like people to believe that her plan consitutes universal coverage by virtue of her mandate that all citizens purchase coverage. There's the rub, though, true universal coverage involves government run and funded health care without an insurance industry, except those that provide optional extended coverage benefits beyond those provided by said government. In point of fact, she wants the same thing proposed by both Edwards and Obama, an enforced group insurance market open to all people that invites existing insurance companies to the market. What's worse, her plan reduces insurance premiums far less than either Obama's or Edwards' plans call for. When you dig deeper into the plans only Obama and Edwards implement components designed to drive down the actual cost of care. So, while Clinton's plan purports a reduction in premium cost of approx $500 / yr for avg family of 4, Obama's plan purports to reduce the cost of premiums by $2500 /yr for the average family of 4, and that's been verified by a panel of independent analysts. His plan then goes a step further to reduce the cost of care in a number of ways that also serve to make the provision of health care safer.

    As much as many of us in healthcare would like to see universal healthcare offered in the U.S., the reality is this is unlikely to pass in our current political atmostphere, and something needs to happen to reduce the burden of health care costs in our country immediately. As a nurse, and as a parent and consumer, I can live with Obama's plan. Sen. Clinton's, on the other hand, lends itself to some very big problems, not the least of which are imbedded in her mandates and just how those are enforced, and in the fact that she calls it universal when it's anything but. People will expect to receive one thing and end up with quite another. In other words, if you think Canada sounds bad, just wait unitl you have to seek care under Clinton's plan!

    HRC reminds me of a slug in its death throes. Here in Oregon, we have a log of slugs. They are snail-looking creatures without shells. Sometimes people dump salt on them to kill them because they eat our tender seedlings and ruin our strawberries.

    Once the slug has salt poured on it, the slug begins profusive sliming as it begins to shrivel. The voters and superdelegates are pouring salt on Hillary, and as slugs do, she is sliming and shriveling. Do you see any difference between the two?
  • LeslieB · 1 year ago
    Rachel Maddow said she would and she is. And what are the supers doing? They could end this.

    Thank you for that explanation. I swear I hear them talk about their plans but didn't real know what they were saying.
  • SociologistTina · 1 year ago
    Excellent post, Joe. Thanks.
  • vwcat · 1 year ago
    Wasn't there some kind of agreement with the supers that she can stay in as long as she doesn't attack Obama. If she is then they need to shut her down now.
  • DougStamate · 1 year ago
    "Clinton attacks Democratic Opponent", perhaps? Or, even better, "Clinton attacks Primary Leader/Frontrunner". "Probable nominee" or "Likely nominee" would also fit. "Presumptive" could only apply if Sen. Obama already had 2025 delegate votes (any mix). But, until the convention chooses one, we don't have a "nominee" .
  • debrazza · 1 year ago
    Why is everyone afraid of her?
  • ggm1957 · 1 year ago
    If Hillary is so great - as she proclaims - why would she have to attack anyone else? She should be able to stand on her own without putting anyone else down - even her opponent. Hillary is a vicious manipulator who does not deserve any votes. I used to think it would be wonderful if she ran for president - back before she ran. I have been an Obama supporter from the beginning and voted for him in our Vermont primary back in March. I was convinced then that he was the best candidate and Hillary certainly never showed me any reason to doubt that for even a second. It is way past time to get rid of her. She should have been sent home long ago.
