Bill Clinton says Hillary gaining military support

BY MELISSA NELSON

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER DESTIN, Fla. -- Former President Bill Clinton says his wife has strong support among military voters and that the Democratic presidential candidate is up to the task of rebuilding the nation's military after years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"I think she will do better than you think (with military voters) because she has an enormous amount of allies around the country in the military," Clinton told The Associated Press on Monday night following a private, $2,300-a-plate fundraiser for Hillary Rodham Clinton in the Florida Panhandle.

Sen. Clinton, D-N.Y., did not attend the event.

Speaking after a fundraiser in this heavily Republican and heavily military Panhandle county, Clinton said military voters should be especially concerned about how the next president goes about rebuilding a depleted military.

And Clinton said his wife is the best candidate for that job.

Not if real Americans get out and vote against this worst of all candidates in history. Hitlery is an unindicted criminal, a terminal liar and a power-hungry demon in pants. I hope you are wrong in your prediction. For a reminder of the Clinton crimes, read: “The VRC’s Dossier on Hillary Clinton” by Amanda Carpenter. It clears the mind and clarifies her terrible history.

Hey Goober, the Terrorists in Iraq can’t vote for your wife.

“This delusional fool was President??”

Remember what that one Senator said about the horndog...

“He’s an exceptionally good liar.”

Sounds like wishful thinking to me. The military wasn’t enthralled by his presidency; why would Hillary’s be any different?

The Clinton’s would not allow uniformed Pentagon staff to enter the White House and Chelsea used to tell the Marine Guards that her parents loathed them.

Hillary gaining military support

Bill probably saw a "Run, Hillary Run" bumper sticker on the front of a tank and thought it meant something positive.

This is so much a steaming pile. Hillary wouldn’t allow a uniformed individual in the White House. These people depise the military. The only part of government that got smaller in Bubba’s tenure was the military and our intelligence community. Jeesh!

Good evening folks, I’m Bill Clinton.

There was a girl knocking on my hotel room door all night! Finally, I let her out.

A drunk was in front of a judge. The judge say,s “You’ve been brought here for drinking.” The drunk says, “Okay, let’s get started.”

“Doctor, my leg hurts. What can I do?” The doctor says, “Limp!”

I wish my brother would learn a trade, so I would know what kind of work he’s out of.

But seriously folks,

My wife Hillary has an enormous amount of allies around the country in the military.

I’m Bill Clinton, you’ve been a great audience.

That and the fact there are lots of women, minority and “progressive” voters in the military for whom The Evil One II is an attractive choice just because she isn’t a white male Republican.

The doubleplusgood duckspeak of the media just reinforces what they were weaned on.

I avoided using the word hate...having spent my summers in Shalimar, FL. with my grandparents (my grandfather retired as a USAF Colonel) I was around a lot of active duty/retired military...they tempered their disgust with Clinton but it was pretty obvious from the lack of officer retention during the Clinton years...he was detested.

“He’s an exceptionally good liar.”

In leftist circles that’s a resounding endorsement.

I think that the rarest thing on earth is an honest liberal. They repel from truth like a vampire repels from a cross.

Outside of some very small groups in Arlington and the Pentagon... her support among the military is a joke. The “Military” that is for ‘toon are the ones that leak to the ny slimes.
