"need the vapors."

Not that it doesn't make sense, but that's a new one on me. I've heard people say they "have the vapors".
The southern idioms police might have to put Rush on their watch list...

[Springman]

Ping.

[expatpat]

Yeah, I think there's psossibly going to be a schism on the left. The moveon goup and the DU/Deaniacs are way too left for this country. So either the Demo'rat Party moves left or there's a schism. The good news: that should split the leftist voters and keep the 'rats in a minority for a while. The bad news: long term, the 'Rat Party gets to be the Centrist party in the political spectrum.

My grandmother would frequently put the back of her hand to her forehead and complain mightily about having the vapors. The posture was usually accompanied by shallow breathing while her other hand fanned her face rapidly. My dad (her son) would just roll his eyes and ignore her. She always seemed to be in good health to me whenever she got the vapors.

I had always thought "the vapors" were gas

"For the moment, I don't care whether... I don't believe her anyway. That's not the point here. To get into a discussion of whether or not Hillary is being honest is a waste of time. The discussion needs to focus on what the effect of this is.

This is either going to blow up the Democratic Party or it's going to be the long-awaited sponge that sops up all the refuse and sort of cleans it out. Only time will tell. On the other end of this, the Republicans had better pay close attention to this, because we ought not make the mistake that was made in 1994, and I've gone through this once or twice before.

In '94 we assumed mistakenly, "Well, that's it. Country has finally agreed with us," and we just started going, you know, full speed down the trail without a continuing education process. Now, I don't think that mistake is going to be made this time, but the Republicans had better realize that there is a shift in party ID.

There are more people now calling themselves Republicans than Democrats, and the number of people calling themselves independents is at an all-time high, and among some of those independents are Democrats who would rather be Democrats, but they don't have the guts to admit it because how far kooky left the party has gone, and a lot of them are in the south and a lot of them are the old Reagan Democrats who were Reagan Democrats on the basis of not just fiscal but cultural, social issues as well."

Faith based Initiative supporter..support the military,veterans benefits, now the softened rhetoric on abortion,fiscal rsponsibility, all "Triangulation"...She's well known to be a lib and feminist, really despise the military and that may hold the wild eyed lefty loonies while she sings her siren song to the rest of the sheeple.

Question is wheter the hard left's $$$$ ( the dems biggest resource ) drys up because of this or whether they will support her knowing she is an out and out LEFTIST and she is merely trying to soften her image ( which would change the minute she took the oath )

[MEG33]

I am slowly realizing she has a chance at the nomination..I am not ready to believe she is electable..She is sure positioning herself to be..

.There is one thing that people may not be ready for..A First Gentleman.

[newfreep]

All rats will support hildebeast no matter what she says. I sure hope the good guys have a solid candidate and not a RINO.

And there will be a lot of naive GOP types who will also

Just look at the posters here who fell for Gores so called concession speech in 2000 and also called for praying for Clinton during his operation

They don't recognize PURE EVIL for what it is

That is the sad truth

[STARWISE]

Prepare yourselves! Expect to hear sprinkled throughout her rhetoric in the coming months and years, little related situations about her motherhood, remembering when Chelsea did this and that, inciting knowing chuckles from particularly Moms, but Dads, too about typical child rearing and parenting situations..the trials, foibles, celebrations and victories or little cute stories about her niece or nephew's funny incident .. blab blah blah .. She'll HAVE to include Bill in it, just in a SMALL way, somehow .. can't avoid it, if only to say things like, "Bill was out campaigning ((messing around)) one time, and Chelsea and I were .....etc."

I have NO doubt it's coming .. as this contrived, calculated, totally orchestrated, cunning and predictable brainwashing period begins.

People will actually start drinking a little Kook.. .er.. Kool Aid .. intelligent people, because she's going to be SO believable ... so charming and convincing. It's going to be played so well that people will actually be saying to each other, "Wow .. maybe she's really changed. Why .. why ...she sounds like me! She's gone through the same things as our family!"

Yup .. she's gonna start very gradually and cleverly intentionally speaking and relating to Moms and Grandmoms and Dad and Grandads... particularly stressing her Midwest upbringing and childhood, and "traditional family" scenarios, and no more strident abortion speeches .. or screeching like a banshee, as has already started.

You're gonna hear a lot about Chelsea's baby days and growing up years ...little "adorable" inside stories, and cutesy inside family jokes and stories (all manufactured). Why not? It's ammunition and manna for the masses!

She's gonna go from this

and this

to this

and some very feminine and smiling "pretty in pink" looks like this

I fully expect a longer, softer, just-one-of-you-Moms-hairdo, too and a gradual wardrobe makeover away from Krusty to softer necklines, scarves, pearls, etc. Everything's being focus-grouped .. everything.

What's so amazing is that: we know it's coming and what she's up to; she knows we know it's coming and what she's up to and that it's completely contrived and calculated; and yet, she'll still do it and carry it off, for the most part, and make tremendous strides. It's both pathetic and frightening .. just how many people are going to succumb to her "sincerity" and actually believed she's changed and she's "just wunnerful, that Hillary."

Just my 4-1/2 cents

[goldstategop]

Hillary Clinton is truly the gift that keeps on giving. Republicans will not dare to move to her Left. She is the best friend conservatives have had and her presence should keep the weak-kneed RINOs from wandering off the reservation. Three Cheers For Hillary!

Thanks for the ping. Looks like I'm going to be Rushless this week. Too busy.

He's got the ailment ('the vapors') mixed up with the remedy - smelling salts. I think he means that if this keeps up, he'll swoon (faint, pass out, have the vapors) and then he'll NEED smelling salts to revive him! :-)

Of course, smelling salts put out quite a vapor of their own - it's really ammonia.

[mrsmith]

Well, we best not hijack a Rush thread. So I'll just reply that that's an excellent description of the vapors and an excellentd description of Rush's mistake.
According to my sainted grandmother I gave her the vapors many a time but I know never handed her any ammonia salts.

[kitkat]

Thanks, LaserLock. Excellent

[GretchenM]

Regardless of Rush's optimism, she scares me because there will be, as you point out, many who drink the , she has enormous sway, and Rush can't re-educate them all.

I am very glad he's still out there educating the young skulls full of mush, however.
