Suck it up Rats, your battle is working out perfectly

New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson yesterday suggested when endorsing Sen. Barack Obama in the Democratic presidential race that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton should drop out, while a primary-election lawsuit had made it tougher for the former first lady to secure the party's nomination.
The one-time candidate's endorsement helped Mr. Obama at the end of a difficult week, giving him the support of another former Clinton administration official who also is a superdelegate and a high-profile Hispanic.
"You will be an outstanding commander in chief," Mr. Richardson told the Illinois senator at a rally in Portland, Ore., yesterday. "Above all, you will be a president who brings this nation together."
The former energy secretary and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations during President Clinton's administration also said in an e-mail to his supporters on behalf of Mr. Obama yesterday that it may be time for Mrs. Clinton to get out of the race
"My affection and admiration for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver," he said. "It is time, however, for Democrats to stop fighting amongst ourselves and to prepare for the tough fight we will face against John McCain in the fall

These suggestions have a force that will pile up. I hope she fights to the bitter end and they haul her away kicking and screaming.
This is getting interesting. All the old friends of Clinton are bailing, perhaps they don’t want their FBI files in a room of power again.
Suck it up Rats, your battle is working out perfectly
Before the Pennsylvania primary? Why? Are the DemocRATS afraid she’ll embarass Obama by winning big there and in other remaining primaries?
They are bailing because they are political whores. None of them know a thing about loyalty.
“All the old friends of Clinton are bailing, perhaps they don’t want their FBI files in a room of power again.”
Or, the’re afraid of being called racists if they oppose ol’ Dumbo Osama/Oblama/Omama.
Neither will mine.
"Everything is proceeding according to plan. Heheheheh."
Where’s the countdown to when Hillary goes Britney?
This guy is a real opportunist; it’s great that he was a part of the Clinton team for so long. They all deserve each other.
Aww! Gov Richardson's got a boycrush
I mean, unless your name is John Dillinger or Charlie Manson or John Gotti, who cares if the Clintons have a copy of your FBI file? If I was a powerful politician and the Clinton goons tried to blackmail me with such a juvenile tactic, I would do three things:
Bill had to run to the center to get elected in '92 and '96, if Hillary ends up in the White House having run as far left as she has, then capitalism in this country is in trouble.
Obammie doesn’t have the skills to negotiate with the career Pols on Capitol Hill. If the Pubbies would just knuckle down and focus on the congressional races, get people to run who understand that the only way to survive is to lower taxes and SPENDING then we would be OK!
She'll be doing more of this...
Hey, they’re the CLINTON’S - they’ll take down the party and start a race war before they’ll back off from the possibility of power.
The blind leading the blind.
Rove, you magnificent bastard.
"Fu-Manchu" Bill is as clueless as ever. Obama isn't bringing people together. Obama and his "Reverend" mentor are dividing people with amazing regularity, one with his racist hate speech, and the other for lapping it up for 20 years, then acting like it's normal to hear that sort of foolishness in any church in the land. Man, is Bill Richardson a dim bulb or what?
I tend to agree, but I know nothing about FBI files.
What do they have that one can not get from public records?
What is laughable is the big stink over some public service employees looking at candidates passport files, which to my knowledge has nothing that is not public record.
Paging Newt Gingrich, Bob Livingston, Dick (toe sucker) Morris and others.
I would first of all tell them to take that FBI file and stick it someplace I shouldn't mention here.
I would personally call the FBI and file a report.
I would call Matt Drudge, put some popcorn in the microwave and watch the fun begin.
One problem with this. Most of the GOP in Washington has been a bunch of spineless, limpwristed, testosterone-deprived nancyboys more interested in getting invited to cool Washington parties and retiring to some 7-figure lobbying job, than actually standing up for any principle. As a matter of fact, I personally believe 98% of ALL politicians are a bunch of pro-big-government, pro-abortion, gun-grabbing egoists- it's just that the Republicans probably go in behind closed doors with their bedwetting, flag-burning collegues from the Democrat party and say stuff like, "Heh heh heh, ah agree with ya. Ah just gotta git re-elected by them thar dubmasses at home."
Maybe I'm being too cynical. However, when you've had Trent Lott as your Senator for nearly 20 years, you tend to get cynical
If your grade school teacher suspected you of having an unnatural relationship with the family pet, whether justified in her statement or not, it's there.
A lot of raw dirt and leads to sift for real gems.
For that reason, those files are protected by Federal Law. One of Nixon's minions did 10 years over one file.
The Clintons made off with over 900 files on leading Republicans (wonder why they couldn't do anything, why some of the votes (on the Impeachment, for instance) were, well, wierd?--wonder no more) and uploaded that data to the DNC via a LAN from computers in the White House.
Not only were they NOT charged for doing so, or for accessing those files, they still have data which may enable them to manipulate the political landscape.
It would be perfectly plausible that they picked out a few up-and-comers in the Democratic Party as well.
So he’s gone from supporting a completely stuffed pant suit to a completely empty pinstriped suit. Deep thinker, that one.
Do they know something about Pennsylvania through there internal polls that we don’t...is that why she is being asked to bail? Or do they think they can beat McCain only with a younger more vital candidate such as Barak HUSSEIN Obama...(there I go being politically incorrect again...must genuflect and say 10 “hail lenins” and pay another 100 dollars in taxes)
Operation C H A O S
She's wanted to be President her whole life. She's suffered through a “marriage” to a man who could get her to the game, she got a Senate seat, and she and her husband screwed over Jon Kary so she'd be set up for 08.
It has to be 08. In 2012, she'll look like Hellen Thomas.
Short and to the point!!!
Exactly. Hillary made Nixon’x enemy list look like amateur hour stuff. Plus they has people like Joe Wilson and Plame all over the federal gov.
“My affection and admiration for Hillary Clinton and President Bill Clinton will never waver,” he said.
Yup. That knife you stuck in her back is proof of your affection and admiration.
Remember that he dismissed the whole thing as "an innocent bureaucratic snafu".Janet "Burn 'Em Out" Reno wouldn't even open a case file on that one.
After sitting through all those black church services
After two trips to Africa
After setting up an office in Harlem
After crying as a teenager as black churches burned
After walking through Harlem as a college student
After proclaiming himself as the first black president
After visions of being back on AF1
It has to be driving Bubba and Bubbess nuts to think they are losing to Obama because of the black vote
Talk about ungrateful Judases
If he drops out what does she get?
I know that these are the Clintons, but why haven’t they been charged with having these files?
If it’s common knowledge then is there no one who can stand up to them?
Ok I know I’m dreaming.
wow, their double talk boggles my mind. He admires hillary, but won’t back her.
amazing.
Ugh, can’t stand Richardson.
I love the argument about losing power over federal money because of term limits, etc. Good. The more money that can't be spent by D.C. is more money that can stay home to begin with.
PLEASE, Come on guys. #15 (SamAdams) is right. There's no there, there.
HERE is the FBI File list Hillary Had, past tense...
Filegate NamesTake a good look at the names, they are 99% nobodies. Only their mother would care about their FBI file. And they certainly are not "900 Leading Republicans"
The constant FBI File harping makes FReepers look like Moonbats. Worse, it proves FReepers are lazy. This info has been Google accessible from day one.
So please, give it a rest already. I'm sure Terheran Janes Brighthaupt and Richard William Diguiseppe would appreciate it too. They're on the list - whoever they are.
A while back, Howie Carr had Louis Freeh on his radio show. Before it ended, someone finally called in and asked about the files. He wanted to know if they were ever returned. It was obvious that Freeh didn’t want anything to do with that question and simply said “yes, they had been returned”. No big deal, end of story. Even in his book he says very little about the whole snafu. I find it interesting because he’s no friend of Bill and Hill.
He went on to say: "But when push comes to shove, and when you're looking to score brownie points, and secure your place as V.P. on the Obama ticket, sometimes you've just got to toss your old friends over the cliff."
Now, by refusing to denounce the hate filled, irrational and racist rants of reverend Wright, he has chosen sides, leaving whites (any with the lights on) in this country to rightfully and forever question Barack’s advocacy for them.
Race preferential hiring, grants and college admissions are unconstitutional and here today. What's next with a president on the hook to give back to the black people with whom he “struggles”? He'll bias his judgment in that races favor, regardless if it promotes racial disharmony.
It can't work, it could never work. Who ever runs this government must be colorblind on either side. This interesting piece of living history let me see that.
By Freeh saying “yes they’ve been returned” it indicates that the files were taken (illegally)....and nothing happened to the perps? Even secretly so that the masses were never informed? Astounding.
Plus, they want jobs in the new Rat administration.
Richardson and Pelosi both are angling for the VP spot.
The fact is that they had a bunker of files of persons they had no business “investigating.” They delivered them to a Committee on government oversight, as I recall.
