I lurk at the DUmpster and all the Hussein followers have told all the Clinton followers to go jump in a lake. (although they used much more colorful language)
They really do think that they do not need the Clinton followers. They are effectively saying that they don’t need HALF their party to win the GE.

Obamesiahism has truly clogged their brains, even worse than the marijuana has.

Yep. They simply disregard any and all criticism of their Obamamessiah and are COMPLETELY unwilling to compromise or cooperate with anyone who doesn’t toe the line. That includes HRC supporters. They’re completely delusional (although that’s rather obvious), thinking they don’t need her supporters to be competitive.

As someone on a HRC board said: “What is it about this man that turns his supporters into rabid little monsters?”

Seems like a match made in Heaven. Maybe McCain will choose her for a V.P. running mate? Perfect!

“””Makes sense if you consider not all democrats want to support a man who went to a racist church for 20 years and is friends with terrorists.”””””

Here in rural NC farmland, there are quite a few bluedog dems that simply “will not vote for a black guy”

We can expect blacks, latte liberals (read intellectuals trying to prove they are ‘enlightened’ and non-bigoted), and the MTV crowd to show up in droves. But the rural bluedogs...they will stay home.
Hussein has the ‘enlightened’ liberal and the black vote. That ain’t enough.

“What do you think?”

I think that’s McCains core voters. Certainly not Conservatives.

He was begging for those votes last night.

I’ve seen many Presidential elections. I don’t remember one, including McGovern’s, where there was so much animosity among supporters of different candidates as this one with the Democrats.

I believe Hillary has a better chance at the White House in 2012 running with McCain now than with Obama. And aren’t McCain/Hillary pretty chummy there in the Senate?

This could happen, probably won’t, but is not beyond the realm of possibility. The entire ‘08 election is horrifying.

I believe John Kennedy would be shocked by McCain’s leftist stance on some issues.

Even better, I think JFK would have been profoundly shocked by his brother Teddy's location at the most extreme left of the political spectrum. JFK was a Scoop Jackson liberal, he cut taxes and he was a strong anti-Commie. In those days, liberals still loved their country.

He was pro military. These yokels these days embarass themselves, and are too dumb to know it.

I agree with your comments re: Ted et al.

Thanks.

“Clinton Supporters Offer To Help McCain”

Isn’t that special. And why not? He has proven he doesn’t need conservatives. Wouldn’t it be nice to be represented in one of the presidential races? Silly notion, I know.

They simply disregard any and all positive attributes of the GOP candidate and are COMPLETELY unwilling to compromise or cooperate with anyone who doesn’t toe the conservative line. That includes Mitt Romney supporters. They’re completely delusional (although that’s rather obvious), since they don’t intend to fight FOR McCain and give the election to Obamessiah.

At this point, I wouldn’t mind seeing Hillary as McCain’s running mate. Things won’t be much different because we aren’t going to get a conservative in the White House anyway. And with the economy and Wall Street running sour, it could clear the way for some REAL change next time around.

Who does this surprise? I’ve been saying for months that Clinton and McCain were almost peas in the same pod. I’m not convinced at all, that Hillary won’t be his Vice-Presidential pick. No, I am not kidding.

Either Lieberman or Clinton. If the former Hillary backers go for McCain, then he truly can win without the conservatives--by getting the liberals!

And here some are worried that not voting for McCain would ensure a victory for the libs.

I'm counted among them. As far as I'm concerned it's a good match for him politically.

With the Gorgon as Veep, whoever is President won't last more than a month beyond his inauguration. They'll find him dead with several self-inflicted gunshot wounds through his brain and the door to The Oval Office locked from the inside.

Frau Clinton makes Lady Macbeth look like Mother Theresa.

Wow. That sounds exactly like what the MacCain people are telling conservatives.

Third party, anyone?

I have been telling Lil since Juan locked up the nomination that I think McCainez will win in a landslide (of Nixonian preportions) if Obama is nominated. Juan is just this side of a moderate demoncrat so he will attract “moderate” demoncrats in droves. Add that to the fact that Obama is truly looney left and watch out for the avalance.
