Hillary, the inevitable candidate
Washington Times ^ | 8/19/02 | David N. Bossie

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton says she will not run for president in 2004. Mrs. Clinton also made a commitment to New Yorkers that she would only consider the vice presidential spot if asked.

Well, during his 1990 campaign for governor, Bill Clinton told the voters of Arkansas that he would complete his full term if re-elected and not run for president in 1992. Two years later he was being sworn in on the U.S. Capitol steps. So much for commitments.

I really don't think she will run, but if she does I would welcome it. There's simply no way we can lose if she puts her face in there. She has no chance of winning the Presidency on the national level, and I doubt she has any real chance of winning the Democratic nomination. But if she ran, she would surely stir and muck things up in the Democratic primaries, and that spells everything good for the GOP. It would be like Al Sharpton multiplied by 10, and the pockets of Republican contributers would open accordingly.

Amen. I might even ask Alec Baldwin for his unused ticket. (Just kidding)

I almost agree with you. The exception is: If she divorces Bill, she wins..against anybody.

Looking to gain allies, she has also donated nearly a half-million dollars from her political action committee to Democrats running for the House and Senate.

This and her fundraising efforts for 'rats far and near - she is buying delegates to the dnc convention.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Not of her running for president but that she might come out in public without her make-up on.

Noway, fairly speaking, but these people have ways - and as long as these Lefties have a chance, then America hangs in the balance. . .

Not to mention her own crimes and cruelty to people.

All this talk of her running really makes me nervous-we know that Democrats win most of the elections they do win through vote fraud and I think that if she did run, the shadowy, felonious, bat-wielding wing of the rat party would be out in full force in every major city and the rats would have a 300% turnout.

This is terrifying.

I am afraid you are wrong, and it is because of her face though not in the way so many people suspect. As a presidential candidate, with a serious chance of winning, she will be on the cover of at least one major magazine every week. Not only that, she will be on the morning talk shows at least twice a week, and the softball questions will barely even make the net, much less affect the campaign. GWB will be all but ignored by the media, except of course when there is a problem to which the answer will be "If only we had a woman at the helm, she could solve everything!"

None of billy jeff's problems will follow her, because after all, she just wasn't in charge. It was something he did, and something she won't.

I really think GWB should have directed Ashcroft to prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law upon taking office. There is an old saying about if you are going to kill the king, you better make sure he is dead. GWB let the king live.

If she did run, it would be "once more into the breach dear friends" time - hounding this vicious harpy on every step of her slime soaked trail is a dire necessity.

NAME RECOGNITION?
Adolf Hitler probably has 100% name recognition, but it is not in a positive sense, similar to Hitlery!

Mr. Bossie has been reading Freeper threads.

While he hits on the key factors of various windows being open for a limited time (and the absolute necessity of derailing Gore), he is much too polite and omits the blackmail factor. The Bubba Rex machine has a plethora of intel gathered during their eight-year scam in the White House - and the value of the information only deteriorates over time. Sooner or later, some Republicans might decide to step out and fight (wouldn't that be novel?!), or a Dem questioning the divine right of Hillary Regina might come forward, or ...

H.R. must move now. I don't agree that it has to be the POTUS play. VPOTUS can work, with less risk in the event of a loss, and if she pulls that off - the trip to the oval office is just a walk in the park away (guess which park?).

Howdy, mate! We'll do the hounding, Ivan, but the facts say that we shouldn't have to.

The 'Klintoon' family-of-crooks should be behind bars, including Terry McCauliffe, and Reno, but they're not!

Our Government has become a 'Hydra', and it seems like a joke, and the joke's on us!

I think I'll go fishing............FRegards
