"It's as simple as that,” Begala wrote in an email. ‘They don't view us as some kind of weird alien being. They see us as their friends and neighbors and cousins and friends - because we are."....

"U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton said Sunday that she became fond of the people of Arkansas during the 19 years she spent living in the state. But her former Whitewater business partner Susan McDougal remembers things differently.
"I loved Arkansas," Mrs. Clinton told ABC's Barbara Walters. "And the people of Arkansas were not only very good to me, but I made some of the best friends that I've ever made."
But in a 1996 interview with "Blood Sport" author James Stewart, McDougal recalled Hillary showing disdain for the residents of her husband's home state.
McDougal described an encounter out on the campaign trail, where an Arkansas woman offered Mrs. Clinton a pair of earrings shaped like hogs, the Arkansas Razorback mascot.
According to author Stewart, "Hillary mustered a thank-you, then the woman asked her to put them on. Hillary wouldn't. With the woman out of earshot, she turned to Susan [and said], 'This is the kind of s--t I have to put up with.'"
In 1999, Mrs. McDougal explained to NewsMax why the former first lady didn't like dealing with Arkansans.
'Big Hog Gathering'
"In Arkansas politics, you pretty much know everybody's cousin and their grandbabies. And it's a big hog gathering, you know. And Hillary was not used to that.
"I do not blame Hillary at all for saying, I cannot put these hog earrings on. Now, I would have put the hog earrings on and I would have had a good time. But this was not her kind of deal. She's a lot more intelligent than I am." Source
You know....
Maybe Clinton flavored Kool Aid and even Barry flavor has the same shelf life as everything to the new generation. I mean the iphones are only awesome until the new model comes out and there are ‘early fall/late fall clothes now.
Wouldn’t it be great if the Dems were undone by all the ritalin they gave people? I mean the whole ADD mentality they engineered in society as a whole?
Oh the freaking irony.
Christians worship Christ as their Savior.
Clinton Democrats are the same, only different.
These terms apparently have no meaning anymore.
She is so Two Decades Ago. There is NO comparison of her “Pretty in Pink” interviews and the disheveled unkempt Senator of yore. Even her run up make over for 2008 was pathetic. Sorry Hillary, the end date on your packaging has expired and you need to go on off and be a grandma (if you can avoid a jail sentence for treason).
Clinton ,Clinton ,who the hell is Clinton
How truly crappy must obola’s poll numbers actually be that the dims would be desperate enough to turn to an albatross like the Clintons? I guess some parts of the bottom of the barrel look greener than others.
You shouldn’t compare the Clintons to iPhones. iPhones have many uses and work well. The Clintons? Not so much.
An old brain damaged lesbo with cankles, what other qualifications are there?
“My feeling is that the underlying fundamentals in the region work against the Democrats.”
The, ‘underlying fundamentals’ such as LIBERTY? FREEDOM? LOVING AMERICA? Those? ;)
I loathe these people. Just die, already! I’ll take the week-long love-fest form the MSM just to have it OVER with! Why are evil people like the Clintons permitted to go on and on and on? Enough! SO sick of them!
They do serve a purpose. buying them helps fund leftist causes. Abortion, social justice, land closure for ‘conservation’ ;)
That’s what our generation should keep saying. Stop any brainwashing of new voters from believing they are their saviors. Grifters, pure and simple
So this is what I’d imagine what it would be like to have to sleep next to an ogre every night. Geesh!
Hell or Bust!
Seems they are one and the same.
A dirty old man and a grouchy old woman? These are the best the Democrats can muster?
“Bill! Get off that bimbo! And get that bimbo off our lawn!”
No kidding. It DOES feel like punishment from above! As I was walking the dog on this BEAUTIFUL Fall morning, I was having a conversation in my head.
If my Governor, Scott Walker (R, WI) loses to the empty skirt running against him, I’m giving up. I am accepting the fact that this country has gone over and we’ll all be Socialists, if not outright Communists by the time I die (30 more years, hopefully.)
If we get Hillary! as prez, shorten that time frame. Significantly.
Me and mine will be fine. We’re already so far dug in and hunkered down that not much can touch us. However, it makes me so very, very sad.
I honestly haven’t been happy with or trusted Mother Government since the Reagan years. And even THEN, I now know I was kidding myself.
I don’t blame President Reagan. For me, he WAS, ‘the shining city upon the hill,’ more so than any other and it’s been downhill ever since. Grrrr!
If only it were so for all fifty states.
