Gawd, Already?

Fantastic speech from Hillary Clinton last night. The Fox News people at our hotel are already making noise about one line omitted from the speech that would have made her support for Obama more obvious. I’m not exactly sure how she could make it more obvious. Their spin, that they debuted in the hotel bar last night and adopted this morning, is that Clinton said she’d support Obama, but never asked her supporters to vote for Obama. Gawd, is this what we are going to be treated to for the next eight weeks?

For four years or more, many rabid Republicans and conservatives have been planning to go after Senator Clinton when she got the Democratic nomination. Rush, the ultra-right preachers and others felt they could destroy her (and her husband) and elect one of their own. Now that she isn’t the nominee, they’re changing their tune to a public line that she should have been the nominee, she deserved it, she’s been cheated out of it, her supporters have been victimized, etc., etc., etc. And, led by the usual Fox suspects, many media “experts” have fallen for the story. I didn’t back Hillary, but I think her speech last night was outstanding. Let’s hope we can get on with business today and tomorrow.

Hillary showed what she is made of last night – solid gold! What a candidate! What a winner! And she still is a winner in the U.S. Senate. After Barack, let’s have Hillary! She laid it out in terms we simple women can understand! Keep goin’ on!

Hillary’s speech was a winner; I’m a little sad that Bill gets a night too, though. Enough of this Clinton drama. Let’s slip Joe off the leash and loose the dogs of war! Time to go after Republicans with the same fervor with which we’ve been eating our own.

Oh yeah, we’ll be treated to this and worse…the wingnut blogosphere here in AZ is becoming more vile by the minute. They’re exploiting any hint of disunity among Dems. In the shrink world it’s what we call “splitting” – a tactic of patients with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Personally, I am appalled that neither Hillary nor Michelle Hussein O’Bama mentioned the undeniable fact that the surge is working. Clearly, they both hate America.

Republicans are never happy with whatever the Democrats do so lets face the fact that they are going to turn this into mush. Only their kool-aid drinkers will buy it.
Hillary, as someone already stated was rock solid gold last night as she shown brilliantly from the stage. I have heard from a few of the Hillary supporters I know who have been complaining they were undecided that are now on board to at least vote for Obama and not McCain. I think she shamed them a bit last night and brought them back to the reality that it isn’t about her but about what the country needs.
Finally someone in the Democratic party stood up and said what needed to be said–I hope Joe Biden and Obama do the same. I also hope all the mean spirited Hillary smack will now stop. This great lady deserves our respect.

When will intelligent progressives stop using the “N” word in the same sentence with the “F” word? The politically correct reference should be “the Rupert Murdoch propaganda outlet”.

Republitard proves how ignorant he/she is: Michelle ROBINSON Obama is the proper name. Clearly this person lacks an understanding of democracy. Freedom of ideas is an inherent right!

The surge is working?
Explain that to the folks in the Republic of Georgia who get to listen to Bush and McCain sit there and make baseless threats they can’t back up because our military is stuck IN IRAQ! That’s also why the Iranians have gotten so bellicose lately– they know we no longer have a credible deterrent.
And in the meantime, the war against the people who actually did attack us– A-Q and their Taliban allies– which Bush put on the back burner while he went and wasted half a decade in Iraq– has deteriorated steadily since we attacked Iraq in March 2003.
What would have WORKED would have been to finish the job in Afghanistan. Which Al Gore spoke out in favor of in the summer of 2002 when the Bush administration first started to stampede us away from Afghanistan and into Iraq, and Barack Obama figured out in 2002 and spoke out against going into Iraq as well.

Lavender,
Bill Clinton was elected and then re-elected in a landslide. He left the country in much better shape than he found it at the beginning of his presidency. The average American hadn’t seen their interests advanced more effectively by a president since LBJ.
Do you think it’s an accident that the Republicans impeached him for what fell far, far short of “High crimes”? What part of vast right-wing conspiracy don’t you understand? Why exactly do you think our enemies have worked so hard for so long to trash his accomplishments and his record, and who has led so many Democrats who loved him when he left office in 2000 to despise him now?
Like Al Gore, he is an immensely valuable asset of the party and the nation. It is self-defeating and foolish to bad mouth him.

I have to say TexAZ your post is right on about Bill Clinton. How much tax payer money was spent trying to bring this guy down and all they could find was a stained dress in the back of a closet of an intern. With hunting skills like that it is Amazing that these same folks can’t find bin laden.
