Hillary Clinton Supporters Rendezvous with McCain Operatives(including her brother!)
Fox News ^ | August 20, 2008 | Brett Bahr

O Brother, Where Art Thou?

One of Hillary Clinton's brothers and some Pennsylvania Democrats who backed her presidential bid socialized Monday with a top adviser to Republican John McCain. The Scranton Times-Tribune reports Tony Rodham attended a gathering hosted by political consultant Jamie Brazil, a longtime friend of the Clintons. Brazil is a paid national director of the Citizens for McCain coalition.

Also there, McCain top economic adviser Carly Fiorina. The other guests included an attorney who coordinated Clinton's presidential campaign in northeast Pennsylvania during the primary election, and the sister of Scranton Democratic Mayor Chris Doherty.

Under Wraps

The company producing John McCain's political ads is refusing to reveal the identity of the narrator used in the campaign's most recent commercials. The Politico newspaper reports chairman of the company Strategic Perception Fred Davis III says, "We consider that a corporate secret."

The woman who narrates the now-famous McCain ad "Celeb" has also been used in three other commercials attacking Barack Obama. Her voice is described by some at the company as "pleasant to listen to" and "an every-woman's voice."

What is known is that her first name is Joan and that she began doing political voice-overs about a year ago. The Politico reports the business is desperate for new and unfamiliar voices and that is why the company is so tight-lipped_about Joan's identity.

Commercial Appeal

Senators Obama and McCain plan to pull all campaign ads that criticize each other on September 11. The candidates say they want to honor the memory of those who died in the 2001 terrorist attacks.

McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said, "9/11 is not a day for politics," and Obama spokesman_Hari_Sevugan said, "We hope September 11 is a day when Americans come together and reaffirm our resolve to address the common challenges we face together."

So what does it all mean?

Will it be Hillary vs. McCain and McCain will voluntarily lose the race?

Of course we knew McCain and Hill are good friends....but what is this all about? The Hlllaryites so disgusted with the Obamists that they are coming around to help McCain?

Or just spying...

whew head is spinning...

Hmmmmmm, maybe the Clinton campaign is giving McCain some more ammo to use on Barry before the convention.

OK first bear with me here! These are the comments from TexasDarlin.wordpress.com, per Se ME!

TexasDarlin,
Actually I am not a Democrat, I am a Conservative Republican, but I have to comment on this, it is trickery at it’s best, Kind of like playing space invaders in the old days when it was first introduced, I could not be beaten, because I had figured out the programming as to what was to happen next. Unfortunately he “Obambi” has done nothing wrong in his attempt to be the President. With the exception of his evasiveness, which also can be attributed to the above video game, I was asked mant times how I did that, i just shrugged and said i was just lucky, when in fact i had figured out how to beat the system. The problem here is to let the American people that there is a system, and it has been broken/cracked/hacked or whatever you want to call it.

I look at it as may the best person win, and unfortunately it is not Obambi, if we “the Republican candidate should loose, I would completely rather see Hillary in than Obambi, at least SHE is straight forward and her motivation has been defined.

TD corrected me-it was another super delegate with the broken ankle.Not Stephanie.I just told my husband the other night how I thought she was a “hot potato” I loved her.Took the wind out of my heart today that she passed.

TD, TommyJoe…..

On the Obama Groups and other more radical left sites, on of the main complaints against Hillary is often cited as her working with McCain and other Republicans to pass legislation!

We all need to realize these minions of the “Chosen One” so hate our democracy, so hate any opposing ideology, they will put our entire country at risk to triumph.

People are so afraid to speak out and give the nomination to it’s rightful owner, Hillary Clinton, because they are afraid the Obama supporters will riot. They know the Hillary supporters won’t riot because we are generally responsible adults. We’ll file papers, we’ll try to appeal, we’ll do all the legal things we can do, but we won’t riot in the streets, destroy public and private property or do physical harm to other people. The Obama supporters will and this is the reason they want to give the undeserved nomination to Obama. This is wrong on so many levels. What do they think the Obama supporters will do when he loses to McCain in an election they can’t control? They will do the same, they’ll riot, they’ll destroy, they’ll physically harm anyone in their way. So, are we going to cave in because we’re afraid? It’s going to happen either now or in November. Either way, when Obama loses, his supporters will riot and possibly even kill other people. Are we going to give him the General Election as well to prevent the riots?
I say we take a stand and do what’s right for the country, do what’s right for the party, do what’s right period. When they riot, then THEY can be the ones in the metal cages set up for “us” in Denver. When they riot, they can go to jail or be confronted by the police and National Guard (the part that isn’t fighting in Iraq if there are any left). Instead of caving in to their demands, we need to stand on principal and allow law enforcement to handle the riots that will ensue either now or in November. We cannot be so afraid of what his supporters will do that we just hand them whatever they want. This isn’t freedom, this is tyrany and Obama is the tyrant.
If we are going to live under the fear of what his supporters will do, we have already given up the rights and freedom that our ancestors have fought for over the past 230+ years.
A stand will have to be made and the sooner it is made, the better. Law enforcement will already be in place in Denver to contain “us” (who are not dangerous or willing to kill others), so we may as well give the Law enforcement something to do by nominating the correct candidate, letting them riot and stepping back, allowing the Law enforcement step in and take care of it. If we do any less, we are not only giving away our party’s nomination, we are giving away the freedoms and rights that this country was founded upon.
Obama surrounds himself with thugs and criminals to intimidate others. We have to stand up and let him know that his intimidation isn’t going to work. The rest of the nation doesn’t work like chicago. We aren’t of the mob (or mobster) mentality and we will not be forced into complacity by intimidation. We either stand now or stand in November. If we wait until November, we’ve lost Hillary Clinton who we NEED to clean up the mess bush has made. We have to stand now, we have to stand strong and we have to stand together or go ahead and allow bush to start the fire that will burn the constitution and obama can dust the ashes of it from his shoulders.
Benjamin Franklin said: Ma’am, we have given you a democratic republic, if you can keep it.

Anything that is of value is worth fighting for. The US Constitution is worth fighting for with our very lives because our very lives depend on it. Barack Obama/Barry Soetoro is not above the law and he will NOT destroy MY country with his lies, deceit, crimes and intimidation. I am not afraid of Obama, I’m afraid of losing the Constitution and will not allow that to happen in my lifetime. The thugs and henchmen will not rule our country, we have a well trained military to keep them from it and laws to prevent them from taking over. It’s time we exercise our rights and say NOBAMA, Not now, Not ever! I Own my Vote and I will NOT give it to him!

Ridgeliner,

But that is what makes this a great Democracy, crossing the fence, crossing the isle or what ever people want to call it, to do the best for ALL American people. I personally, IMHO, do not believe that Obambi is up to that, it is going to be his way or no way, if you step across the isle your going to get stepped on! There will always be a VALID reason, that is why there are Lawyers and not us!

One more thought. If Hillary does become the dimocRAT nominee we need to remember this meeting. It can be said that Hillary conspired to keep Barry from becoming the nominee. A certain segment of the dimocRAT voting block will not like that. Hehehehehe.

Well, I for one am shocked - shocked! - at the implication that the dear, saintly Mrs. Clinton would stoop so low as to torpedo her own party's candidate so that she could get the nomination in 2012. Why, that would be devious. Manipulative. Mendacious. Has anyone ever known that gentle, innocent creature to act that way?

I can see it now - Obama gets the nomination in Denver in a hail of falling balloons, McCain holds off on naming his VP, and the very next week there is a drum roll in Minneapolis and there, standing next to McCain, carbide steel teeth glinting in her famous death-rictus smile, stands She Who Must Not Be Named, the next Dick Cheney!

Would it be worth the death of the entire United States in the inevitable flaming holocaust that follows just to see the heads exploding on that one? Yeah, probably. ;-)
