WARNING: BARF ALERT (From a liberal website)
In the past couple of weeks, Senator Hillary Clinton has violated that cardinal rule again and again as she personally vouched for the readiness of John McCain to assume the presidency, while belittling Barack Obama as nothing more than a speech.
Here is perhaps the most devastating gift she gave to the Republicans as she patronizingly dismissed Obama:
Calling McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee a good friend and a
Clinton couldn't stop herself from praising McCain: The pro-McCain comments were quickly and widely panned — so Clinton repeated them.
James Fallows reported on Wednesday,
Eric Zorn, a normally low-key columnist for the Chicago Tribune, reacted with uncharacteristic alarm:
Former Senator Gary Hart was one of the many long-term party activists who was appalled by Clinton's pumping up of John McCain while patronizingly dismissing Barack Obama. He decried her comments:
By saying that only she and John McCain are qualified to lead the country, particularly in times of crisis, Hillary Clinton has broken that rule, severely damaged the Democratic candidate who may well be the party's nominee, and, perhaps most ominously, revealed the unlimited lengths to which she will go to achieve power. She has essentially said that the Democratic party deserves to lose unless it nominates her.
Former presidential candidate and Senator Bill Bradley was quoted in a London newspaper:
Bill Clinton presaged the strategy of his wife when he noted a few weeks ago that Senator Clinton and Senator McCain had deep respect for each other and would run a civilized campaign.
We don't know what Senator Clinton's criteria are for the crossing "the commander-in-chief threshold." The Chicago Tribune pretty much debunked Clinton's scant claims to foreign policy and military experience, and McCain wants to bomb Iran and continue the war in Iraq for a hundred years. What allowed McCain and Clinton to cross that threshold? It appears to be poor judgment in foreign policy as far as their Senate careers are concerned.
We'll be further exploring the Clinton-McCain connection in foreign policy and D.C. establishment ties in tomorrow's BuzzFlash Editor's Blog, "Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barack Obama and Judgment Day."

Unfortunately, that investigation she is currently under probably nixes that idea.
Since McCain isn’t against choosing a democRAT for his running mate, I’ll bet he chooses Joe Biden.
That gives him the “crossovers” he’s looking for, and it removes one person campaigning against him.
You were right. This IS written by a Lib!
A lot depends on who McCain picks for a running mate.
He wants someone who will make him look like a moderate
Someone who will appeal to women voters
Someone who can steal democrat votes from Obama
He wants to be bi-partisain, and "reach across the aisle"
(And if he really DID pick the Hildabeast for a running mate we'd STILL have people here trying to convince us it would be better than voting for Obama)...
“He’s more likely to pick Paris Hilton than Hillary.”
Paris Hilton will be Secretary of Energy.
I thought it'd be another Joe, ... Joe Lieberman. (Liarman)
Quote:If McCain picked her for VP and stepped down in 2012, and Hillary won the 2012 Dem nomination, we could have a female vs. female* presidential race and the nation could see once and for all how different conservative women are from liberal women.
*butch
YEAH!!!! MUD RASSLIN!!!!
You know, back durig the primaries (when I was opposed to McCain) I remember seeing that pic of him and Hillary smiling at each other posted in a lot of threads. And you know, it doesn’t mean crap. If I got photographed as much as McCain there’s be pics of me smiling at some of the local Dems...they’re jerks but I’m not going to pretend they aren’t human and stomp around like a sulky baby. As for Hillary, how many fake smiles do you think are crossing that mug every day?
But it's still funny.
Your MDS has reallly messed with your ability to think. Even if McCain secretly wanted Hillary on the ticket (I highly doubt it) he would know that there's not a chance he'd win the election.
... VERY well said!!!
That would be the end of the GOP and the birth of the American Conservative Party.
Then again, the way so many Freepers are running around promoting this RINO, nothing would surprise me at this point.
We may yet find out if it’s accurate...
There are more Hillary supporters, than there are McCain supporters.
Only 67 percent of the primary voters ...
voted for someone other than McCain, in the Republican party.
McCain is never going to pick Hillary. She’s too far to the right of him...
Ooooooooooookay.
The Republican Party died when we started listening to Dick Morris and Karl Rove.
Ooooooooo. I’m scared.
