Very succinct analysis..kudos..it does explain why Breck boy may be hanging around..hoping that lightning strike him. However..if Hillary implodes, and it apears that Obama lacks ( dare I say it ) “gravitas”..then there is no doubt in my mind that Gore would be drafted..no way they choose Edwards..
I’d rather HAVE steak instead of all that other stuff.
I’ve said all along that Obama is the one republicans need to worry about. Unless, of course, Gore jumps in third party. In which case, watch Hillary because she will explode into a million pieces.
Obama is a neophyte on the national stage, especially amid the glare of a high-pressure campaign. He could easily have a “Dean-Scream” moment..or a “macaca” gaff...which could finish him...I’ve written here several times that McCain’s run in 2000 actually was a good thing for W..it toughened him for the general election race against Gore..
After seeing Obama's amazing fundraising numbers, I wonder if he isn't the next Jimmy Carter.... The sad fact is he'd probably win, Edwards would probably win, but we can beat the Witch and she is most likely (and luckily for us) the Dem nominee.
Fred is the Alabama Ribeye of steak.
Hillary has a lot of problems.
First, she isn’t nearly as good at lying as Bill is. I don’t mean she doesn’t lie as much (she does) but she doesn’t do it as well. Bill’s the proverbial slick used car salesman. He can assure the customer that the worn-out lemon they’re about to buy is a great little vehicle that only has a few thousand miles on it, and was only driven once a week by its prior owner, a little old lady who drove it to church. He can pander and bite his lower lip and convince the moderately gullible that he’s telling the truth. Hillary just doesn’t have that same personality. When she lies, only the extremely gullible believe it, and they’re all gonna vote Democrat already.
Also, Bill’s a liberal, but knows when to compromise. When pressure for welfare reform got too strong to resist, he signed the bill. When Congress made it clear that they weren’t going to force taxpayers to pay for abortions, he relented. When Congress passed the bill protecting states from being forced to accept same-sex “marriages” performed in other states, by a veto-proof margin, he signed it. Hillary has only compromised her leftism once (see the Iraq War vote below). She’s a socialist ideologue, and everyone knows it. If she were president, we’d get the same kind of government at the federal level that they have in Massachusetts and Vermont, where state officials actually conspire against their own citizens to thwart resistance to government policy.
Bill and Hillary are both dishonest flip-floppers, but Bill could pull it off by biting his lower lip and saying something to the effect of “Aw, shucks, it ain’t no big deal” when called on it. Hillary’s flip-flops are mostly rhetorical (claiming to be for “family values” while supporting homosexual indoctrination in the schools, for example), but she still denies them in a manner that can’t be swallowed by anyone with a brain. She considers herself to be perfect, so in her mind she never makes a mistake or changes her position. Thus, she voted for the Iraq War, and is now against it, but won’t acknowledge that she ever changed her position. She doesn’t just brush off the criticism, as Bill successfully did, but instead flat-out denies that she ever changed her stance when obviously she did. Even the gullible and stupid notice this after awhile (e.g., Cindy Sheehan).
Bill comes across as personable. Hillary comes across as the typical nagging, know-it-all shrew who won’t stop lecturing you in that shrill, grating voice.
Yeah, I think Hillary’s quite beatable. The corporate media will do everything in their power to elect her, and she’ll be drenched in campaign contributions from fat cats and (for all we know) foreign governments, as happened when Bill & Al ran. But her weaknesses are obvious. Margaret Thatcher she ain’t.
I think he is a fine receiver and maybe a game breaker.
Dolphins however have not had a q.b. since Marino retired and I think the revolving door is still in place. Boy from N.D. may be the real deal as he obviously is tested under fire unlike the guy the fish took for q.b.
Now as for the Pats, they have Brady and a whole real team to play with.
Fish have Huizenga who doesn’t give a damn, he make oodles from the fish regardless if he spends for a good team or not.
You saw what he did to the Marlins, so he obviously cares only about the money.
I look for about a 5 win season for the fish and for the Pats to be in the super bowl once again.
I think she probably has an inside man who feeds her whatever she wants.
While I agree with your sentiments, I don't think Repos will again fall for the flim flam game where they have a choice of a machine tooled, phony patriot Repo (who's first loyalty is to international business) or a else get stuck with a Demo Rat devil from Hell. I am not sure what they will do, but I don't think they will turn out in droves unless they feel they have a legitimate choice rather that a flim flam choice.
“.....Obama lacks (dare I say it) “gravitas”.
But he’s clean and articulate!
Me too. Though I still Hillary will get the nomination, I think he's right, it won't be the coronation she's looking for -- and he points out well her vulnerabilities. Gore is out there lurking in the wings -- he wants to be the Left's anti-politician, dragged into it "kicking and screaming." That's so Gore, Hollywood boy that he is.
The line this guy used that really grabbed my attention was near the end where he said "it isn't the guy who grabs the middle who wins, it's the guy that makes the most sense." That's so simple, but we never look at things that way anymore. We always over-analyze. That line really woke me up.
I think you’re right, but I think you are so right that the flim-flam patriots won’t get through the Republican primary. Baring extremely bad luck of some kind, I think that Fred is going to be the nominee. If that’s the case, then I think my argument holds. It doesn’t matter who the commie-treason party nominates, we will cream them.
Yes, Bill has charm and sex appeal; Hillary comes across as nasty, shrill and duplicitous.
Notwithstanding the cheeleading for her by the MSM, there will be anti-Hillary avalanche if the RATS are dumb enough to nominate her. Seniors, who vote in disproportionately high numbers, generally despise her.
If by some stretch of the imagination Hillary is elected, she will become so instantly unpopular that the GOP will regain both the House and the Senate in 2010. There is even a chance that the House can be retaken in 2008 with Hillary at the top of the ticket.
This woman will not sell.
Maybe she did and saw nothing but disaster for her if he is the nominee.
This assessment is not surprising to me or to most here on FR. We have been saying this for years.
Yep! I think one of the reasons Bill got away with his many sexual escapades is because of Hillary. People said, “If I was married to that shrew, I’d seek out other women myself”. So they were willing to forgive him for his adulterous behavior.
I think you’re definitely right that Hillary as president would trigger a massive GOP congressional landslide.
I think I heard it said best on a radio talk show once. Hillary reminds men of their ex-wife..
