I don’t think they like her. I suspect the left wing media are biting their tongue and will vote for her, despite her being old, fat and bitchy. Who else would they vote for....the Pubbie? LOL

As Rush said yesterday, libs don’t care about her lies, her hypocrisy, or anything beyond beating the republicans. They will only dump her if they think she will lose. My take: Libs will never, ever vote republican, even if the dem candidate is the illegitimate offspring of Adolph Hitler and Charlie Manson.

We’re told by Womens’ Health Experts that Hillary is no longer “bad in age” to assume the office of President since she’s passed those “deadly years” – thus, no badinage is allowed about her elderly status or appearance…

“COME ON, GET HILLARY!”
by The Takes-a-Village Family

America, here’s an old song we’re singin’:
Come on, get Hillary!
A whole lotta lovin’ is what she’ll be bringin’
$he’ll make you happy...

She had a dream, fellow-travelin’ together,
And spread a little lovin’ as we keep Movin’ On™
Somethin’ always happens whenever we’re together
We get a happy feelin’ when we’re singin’ this song.

Travelin’ along, here’s the song that we’re singin’:
Come on, get Hillary!
A whole lotta lovin’ is what she’ll be bringin’
$he’ll make you happy!
$he’ll make you happy!
Come on, get Hillary ......

She was never a hippy. Dippy, certainly, never hip.

All the badinage about Hillary
By the press may not bode well-
She’s lost that temper before
Sending decorum right to hell

When she decides to be pissed
At all the jokes about her van
Drive-by media will be ducking
Into any shelter that they can

She may throw ashtrays and drop
F-bombs like she did to Bill-
If so by the time she’s done
The press may have its fill...

I’m late getting home-when we saw a big storm coming from the west, we got into our trucks and left the job to beat the rain-I decided to stop at the general store for a pita for dinner so I wouldn’t have to grill in the rain-as I turned onto the road I live on, it started to pour, and after I had opened the gate, closed it, parked, unloaded my stuff, and taken the dog out, we were both soaked.

She was delighted to be wet, I was not-now we are both reasonably dry and about to share that pita-just another day in paradise...
