Andrea Mitchell: Hillary Wants VP Slot
http://www.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2004/3/21/122309.shtml ^ | Mar. 21, 2004

Hillary-friendly NBC newswoman Andrea Mitchell said Sunday that the former first lady is indeed interested in teaming up with Sen. John Kerry as his vice presidential running mate.

Dismissing the longshot prospect that Sen. John McCain might switch parties to run with Kerry, Mitchell told NBC's "Chris Matthews Show," "I think there's another long ball - Hillary."

"According to Republicans and Democrats on the Hill in the cloakrooms, she is interested in running," Mitchell insisted.

She suggested that Sen. Clinton is "doing what is necessary" right now to show proforma support for Kerry's presidential bid, but would take a much higher profile if she knew such an invitation was in the offing.

"Kerry is a weak nominee and it's very possible that he will lose the nomination at the convention as it so happens Hillary the beast will be waiting in the wings.....how about that!!!!!!!!"

Yep. I think that's the plan.

• She keeps her promise not to run for president in '04
• Two years and one day into her term the first slotter gets arkincided
• Under Article XXII, she can still run for two full terms as the incumbent
• The Hillary!™ Decade begins
• Hillary uses the Patriot Act to it's fullest extent, and beyond
• At the end of the Hillary!™ Decade there is a National Emergency "temporarily" delaying the elections
• Under the pressure of the National Emergency, the 2nd and 22nd amendments are repealed
• By the time the National Emergency is over all
the 'improved' source code for the touch screen electronic balloting will be in place......

You left out somewhere between steps two and four:

• There is a military coup
• 25 states secede from the Union

"I never really felt that Andrea Mitchell was all that objective in her reporting. Now I know why. And she's just stirring the pot. There's no way that Hillary will be second to a man to get anywhere in life. She would never do that."

Really? So you conclude that being the FIRST woman VP would be second place? It is just another stepping stone for her.

Not that I am worried about Hillary running, in fact, let's get it on...it's just that those who are making light of Andrea's comments should pause and consider the source. She just may have access to inside information that we don't.

Hillary Wants VP Slot

"So it shall be written, so it shall be done..."

Oh yes, please. She'll unify the GOP just like the Passion has unified Christians everywhere.

"Here it is, the bait and switch. When JFK slumps and its time to pull a Torricelli, she will be there to take the nomination, no questions asked.
If she wins, great. If she loses, its not her fault and she is the defacto candidate in 2008 for the Demos."

Exactly.

I which case - you better watch out Johny....

Stay out of Fort Marcy Park, take your heart medicine, and don't fly out of any airports on foggy days with mountains nearby . . . .

Serious threads get my serious prayer ...

That the Lord would render the Clintons, and all their minions, totally powerless and nameless and faceless and useless and voiceless and homeless and penniless ... that He would strip them bare before the world, such is their evil, leaving only their immortal souls, and it is for these souls I pray ...

I don't think Lurch would want Hillary as his running mate. She would outshine him and he would only be in the shadows.

Nothing will motivate the Grassroots Republicans like Hillary on the ticket.

I believ that right after she went on the ticket, katsup-boy would commit arkenside[sp]. Then Hitlery would then go before the convention and state something like this, I accept the nomation for president, on behalf of my party [commies everywhere],my nation,ect... [you guys get the idea!] I will run on behalf of my fallen, patriot, friend katsup-boy. I then will turn this country in to the socolist[sp] dream, that I have always wanted.

The Kerry camp is screwing up big time by teasing with the name of McCain and allowing speculation that it might be Hillary.

If its not one of those two, the person he actually selects will look like a consolation prize to many Democrats and independents.

McCain must be expecting the VP slot. When he was asked about McCain being named VP, McCain looked visibly shaken

Kerry may be playing a very stupid game by teasing the media.

Hillary wanted to run with ME, I'd be looking for a very good bodyguard right now.

Guess he'll definitely have to get rid of that Son of a B*tch that "knocked" him over on the slopes.

"The Ugly Similarities between Hillary Clinton and John Kerry"

from http://www.hilldabeast.com -

Recent events show the ugly similarities between Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.
They share many of the disgusting traits from the underbelly of liberal bottom dwellers.

Both, Hillary and John have the following in common:

• Socialist/extreme left agenda.
• Contradict themselves regularly.
• Want to raise taxes and distribute wealth.
• Could care less about the country due to their own power hungry plans of destruction.
• Not easy on the eyes.
• Look horrible in a skirt.

Just to name a few.




(FR Posters add some more...)
-- "treat secret service like 'the help'"

-- "Use their offspring as props.

Kerry got caught in some faux pas that was fodder for
the Boston "news" people. He deliberately went on a
shopping spree (where have I heard that before??) with
his then - young daughters. The hounding press were
unable to ask the biting questions.

And, of course, he denied using the girls as a shield.

Hill gets around, doesn't she? She'll do anyone to get elected.
