Maureen Dowd: Can We Get Hillary Without the Foolery?

PLEASE don’t ask me this anymore.

It’s such a silly question. Of course Hillary is running. I’ve never met a man who was told he could be president who didn’t want to be president. So naturally, a woman who’s told she can be the first commandress in chief wants to be.

“Running for president is like sex,” James Carville told me. “No one ever did it once and forgot about it.”

Joe Biden wants the job. He’s human (very). But he’s a realist. He knows the Democratic Party has a messianic urge to finish what it started so spectacularly with the election of Barack Obama — busting up the world’s most exclusive white-bread old-boys’ club. And he knows that women, both Democratic and Republican, want to see one of their own in the White House and became even more militant while listening to the G.O.P.’s retrogressive talk about contraception and vaginal probes last year....

Piss on Jimmah!, when it’s time.

[laplata]

Yep.

[ReaganGeneration2]

The only serious conservative contender will not have the perfect agenda, but will base every position on liberty.

He/she will tell people constantly that they need to dismiss the media because they have been, and are being, brainwashed.

He/she will tell people that America’s greatest political problems are economic, and are due to aging Baby Boomer leaders, and that it must be rebuilt by the succeeding generations.

One thing we’ve learned from , at least, the last two presidential elections is that if the LMSM reporting is honest about her qualifications, she’ll never get elected.

When I was in Army intelligence I sometimes taught a class called “Know Your Enemy.” Any idea why they had me doing that?

“Can We Get Hillary Without the Foolery?”

Get her what?

Convicted and put in prison?

If that’s the case i’m all for it!

[CitizenM]

Maybe she’ll have a concussion.

[jobim]

Yes, I agree that it is important to know one's enemy. In the
case of the evil witch, what is it that you don't yet know? Is
there an iota of information about her that you lack, after her
decades in public life, pillaging, plundering, pilfering, prostituting,
philandering, and poisoning? (And that is just the letter P).
How can any additional discussion of her political plans to
further destroy our nation enlighten? What is it that anyone
still needs to know? Isn't the mere mention of her name an
inducement to suicide, or at least to pouring cyanide in one's ears?

[2ndDivisionVet]

It’s not what you and I know, it’s what the other 399,998 FReepers know or don’t know about her.

[PhilDragoo]

"What difference does it make!"

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

“What difference does it make?” should (if this were a sane world) put paid to any idea that Hillary! will be POTUS.

That “3 AM phone call” she talked about during the primaries in ’08 cropped up in the evening - and neither Obama nor Hillary! did anything but hang up the phone and go lie down.

[ScottinVA]

The space bar is your friend.

[Caribou]

They are promoting the witch to keep our eye on her and not obummer and what he is doing/not doing.

They know she is not well liked and they are putting her up as the lightening rod to divert attention away from the worst president in history.

Maureen Dowd: Can We Get Hillary Without the Foolery?

No, because you can't rely on fraud alone. Hillary will need some real votes, and they will come from the "foolery".

[ontap]

Last I heard the pubs were embracing the likes of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio....the dems are Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden....tell me again who is running the white establishment. Obamacare is coming apart at the seams, the economy is in shambles and zeros’ rating are tanking....I don’t see Hillary as a moving force....a old white has been!!!

[ontap]

Sheeeee's back!!!!!

[jrg]

If the republicans win in 2016, they will be taking over the ruins of 8 years of O-bozo, and will bear the blame for all of the bad stuff. I wouldn’t want to have to clean up after this loser

I started the Hillary Dead Pool here two years ago. I’m still going with a stroke in less than a year. Book it Dano!
