Clinton & Clinton - To maintain their hold on the party, Howard Dean had to be destroyed
Wall Street Journal Opinion ^ | February 1, 2004 | EMMETT TYRRELL JR.

So, no sooner does Sen. John Kerry emerge from the New Hampshire primary as the Democrats' fragile front-runner than word gets out that Bill Clinton was flying down to Washington to plan the Democrats' return to the White House, and at this "high level" meeting Sen. Hillary Clinton would join him. What is this all about? Are the Democratic presidential contenders not capable of sorting things out on their own? Two, after all, were coaxed into the race by the Clintons, Sen. John Edwards and Gen. Wesley Clark.

What frightens me is that a lot of people blew her off as a senate candidate, thinking she was too despised to win anything, anywhere. More people like her (or think they do, because they just buy the image of her the media tells them to have) than I'm comfortable with.

I wish I could count her out of ever being in the White House again, but with that and the way people act around here sometimes, I wouldn't bet my house that she won't be back.

And that's the day I bite the pill.

If for no other reason GW must be relected. We can cope with some big spending, the illegals, but we will not be able cope with what a FAR LEFT turn of the SCOTUS will do to America. Can you imagine 3 more such as shillary on the SCOTUS and hundreds more on the federal bench!

All we have gained in the past decade, especially all we have gained in the last 3 years will be gone, dumped down the toilet out of pique with W, simply because we are not told the whole truth by the media of his reasons behind the things and spending he purposes.

"A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued; but when once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their liberties to the first external or internal invader."

--Samuel Adams

>>Hillary is the "unnamed" democrat the polls go bananas over.

So I've heard. Men will date that sort but they don't marry them. Likewise Dems will enjoy promoting her candidacy, but they won't elect her.

Cincinatus,

And were is the inforcement of the "Beck" decision to try to stop the cash flow from these Unions PAC's from GWB?

Especially after McCain-Feingold and the Supremes?

The impotenece of the Bush team sometimes is on issues like this is stunning. I may sit this one out or vote libertarian, I manned the phones for him on 2000, not again.....

Karl Rove, you screwed the pooch.....

Thanks, we may noat always agree with W on his spending, but I've come to understand that there is a method in his 'madness' as the saying goes, there is usually some tie in to ACCOUNTABILLITY and RESPONSIBILITY. Something lacking in RAT controled gov't.

"....If a Democrat wins the presidency, and Rehnquist retires or dies, the leading candidate to replace him will be Hillary Clinton....

I doubt it. She may have been an officer of the court, as such, but has had ZERO experience as a judge, even on a local level...let alone Federal or Appelate courts.

"Then Hillary will make her grand entrance

And that is exactly how the Clinton play is being written. Ms.Clinton's book signing is nothing more that a Stealth Campaign towards the 2004 election. She has crisscrossed the country and Europe with this contrived book with baseless drivel about her years in the White House.

It appears that the Clinton Snake Oil Show is America’s New Third Party...and like the circus it is, it gathers people who are titillated by all things slightly scandalous; thrill seekers who aren’t interested in country, they just go along for the show, waiting for that exhilarating fall as from a bungee jump or courting fear so they ride on a roller coaster; Clinton people are far from the American core, they are the hate America; bash America; blame America unless it is for self and in this case for power over people. They are the socialist teachers of the NEA, AFT, NCSS; literally hundreds of organizations that teach Social Engineering with Marxist theory. The activist gay and lesbian groups; all Socialist and “hate capitalism” groups. Terrorist love the Clintons because they are weak, non-nationalists and pro United Nations; appeasers to all, victors to none but themselves.

With Dean down for now, Kerry and Edwards will play leap frog for awhile; Joe Lieberman will play the game, until July 26, 2004, when the candidates have run out of time and money, Ms. Clinton will be drafted as either president or vice president for the Clinton Progressive Party of America.

The only way to stop this assault on the once vibrant Democratic Party – is for real Democrats to vote for a Republican in 20004. I think many will.

This is true. People should know by now that what Hillary wants, Hillary gets! She won't attempt anything she isn't absolutely certain she WILL attain. Losing is not an option. If she gets in the race, look out! SHE WILL WIN! So if she doesn't get in the race this time its because she knows she could lose. If she does get in the race, it means we're in big trouble. And of course the Clintons are not above anything underhanded and low to win an election.

So forget her. She's just a bogeyman, she can't hurt you.

Bad advice my friend - forget her at your peril.

You're so right. My idea of a horror movie is a Kerry/Hillary ticket, with some conservative voters staying home on election day just for spite saying "That'll show Bush!" causing a Dem win. That'll give us four to eight miserable years of Hillary Clinton in the White House (no matter where she starts out on the ticket, she'll be the one in charge).
