Clinton's "don't ask" policy
Los Angeles Times Blogs ^ | December 28, 2007 | Peter Nicholas

Posted on 12/28/2007 6:26:44 AM PST by Sig Sauer P220

As she races through Iowa in the days before next week's caucuses, Hillary Clinton is taking few chances. She tells crowds that it’s their turn to “pick a president,’’ but over the last two days she has not invited them to ask her any questions.

That woman that got into the crowd the other day and asked her what the effect abortion had on social security, seems to have done Hillary in.

That’s simply because she doesn’t have any answers. Just lots of warm-fuzzy platitudes about herself and self-contradictory insults hurled at all things conservative.

The “prevent” defense never works. Gotta stay on offense til the clock runs out.

“it’s their turn to “pick a president,’’

Isn’t she clever and witty. Seens she forgot, like so many dumb-o-crats, that we PICKED the president we have now, twice.

If Bill was the philandering King Henry VIII, Bush II was his sickly son Edward and Hillary his vicious daughter Mary, then who will be the capable ruler Elizabeth I who finally put some perfume on the stench of the Tudor dynasty?

President George W Bush is the Freedom President. Once again the Republican Party drags the Liberals kicking and screaming like spoiled brats, blindly into the 21st century. George Bush is a visionary that sees the World as it can be, not as it is. He is the eternal optimist as well an eternal soldier. Never before have we had a leader who can visualize the power of people’s hunger for Freedom in the oppressed spirit, smoldering like a glowing ember in a wheatfield. Whether it is in a village in Afghanistan, a town in Iraq or facing a tank in Tiananmen Square the human spirit longs to feel the warm embrace of Lady Liberty.

Exactly what Senator Clinton lacks or is just plain void of. Excellent! (from Bray's home page)

Hillary is coming to Manchester, Iowa Saturday where she will allow her subjects to come to her on bended knew and kiss her ring. She will be attired in a new pants suit designed by the famous “Omar the Tent Maker”.

She needs to plant more people in the crowds so that she can answer prepared questions and appear spontaneous.

Maybe Green Helmet Guy and Pony Tail Guy can team up to start Hillary’s task force...

“Clinton campaign officials said that she may take questions in the coming days. But her focus is on seeing as many voters as possible before the caucuses next Thursday”

Apparently someone has made a scientific, political study (probably Bill) and has developed the theory that if a candidate gets out among the crowd and doesn’t allow questions, it still has some positive political effect. I disagree. But let’s face it, she slips and says some interesting, uninformed things every now and then. They are trying to hold on to what they got.

I think a large amount of dems will vote for hillary in order to get Bill back in the whitehouse. That is why there is a massive migration towards her in recent polls. But I am not one of the supposed scientific political experts.

Huma is just hooking(pun unintentional)herself to Hilly’s wagon. She doesn’t realize the wheels are about to fall off.

given the FIRST thing Bill Clinton did domestically (remember hillary was the domestic co-president in 1992) was to impose homosexuals on the military, it would not be surprising to find most of hillary’s staffers are playing for the other team.

“...she could do a lot better than Cankles.” Got that right, but power is a mighty aphrodisiac!

Or she is being paid an awful lot of money by some foreign entity to keep close to Hillary so she can be an "an Agent of Influence" on behalf of said group or country in a Hillary Administration. Just a variation of the old Honey trap.
