It's not enough not to be Hillary
Seattle Post-Intelligencer ^ | November 16, 2007 | MARIANNE MEANS

WASHINGTON -- Raw emotions will out. Civility has its limits. A woman bluntly asked Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., at a GOP rally in South Carolina, "How do we beat the bitch?" She went right to the heart of the Republican problem this year, without all the customary polite niceties.

McCain chuckled and revealed his own true feelings, too. "Excellent question," he said.

It would have been nicer politics had he shown a little more gentlemanly courtesy and objected to the questioner's crude demeaning of a U.S. senator. Ultimately, he recognized his Dukakis-like blunder and told the audience that he respected Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.

Too late, too lame. Civility never hurts when it is genuine, in the long run. But it doesn't win elections in the short term.

Hillary is the devil in Prada -- or whichever pantsuit she is wearing-- that Republicans must confront, even if they haven't yet figured out how to do it.

Here’s a typical strategy post. We need a genuine conservative as the nominee in order to win it. Of course, the complaint about Hunter is that he is not civil enough or somesuch thing.

Oh I like Hunter very very much. However, he has no traction and, quite frankly, he would get munched by the Beast in the general election.
***On the contrary, anyone who is not truly conservative will get munched by the beast. All of the frontronners neglect to consider that the MSM has been essentially playing nice. As soon as the GOP guy gets nominated, regardless of who it is, the MSM will turn on him. It’s their nature. The trick is to get the media into such a frenzy that they jump the shark, they pull a Dan Rather because they can no longer see straight. The model for this strategy is Bill Sali, Proposition 187 in California, and Ronald Reagan. The media went nuts and loudly predicted failure, but all won big. When the media starts saying things like, “anyone who wants Prop 187 to pass must be a racist” or “Reagan will be responsible for all the schools closing down”, then mainstream America recoils. All the frontrunners are running on the hopes that the media will portray them in a positive light. Only Duncan is running with the knowledge and a strategy that this will not be the case.

Bill and Hillary Clinton have degraded every office they have occupied. They are criminal scum of the worst sort. Their continued treason is an insult and danger to every U.S. citizen.

Additionally, these pompous bungholes have the unmitigated gall to posture themselves as the epitome of graciousness while grubbing after everything they can lay their greedy hands on, including the White House silver!

Make no mistake. The Clintons are malicious, conniving, deceitful, murderous criminal sociopaths. The are traitors who stay out of prison only because of their continued hold on national office and the main stream media. Socially they are swine. Those such as the Clintons used to be accurately characterized as white trash.

Because of all this, Hillary Clinton long since forfeited any claim to the courtesies inherent in the office she was given. She is a bitch. She and the rest of the country know it. The sooner her veneer of respectability is publicly stripped away, the sooner she will be retired to the cesspool she swims in.

And for those who think this is too harsh; notice how disrespectful Hillary, the Democrats, and the main stream media are to President George W. Bush. He is both a gentleman and the President. Yet they all go out of their way to omit his title at every opportunity.

George W. Bush’s title is “President” not “Mister”. It is the only honorific to be used. And it is noticeably absent when traitors speak and write about President Bush.

Both President Bush and Hillary the Bitch have earned their titles. For the Democrat-liberal-traitors and main stream media; here is a simple chart to keep all of this straight:

George W. Bush = President
Hillary R. Clinton = Bitch

Feel free to use it regularly.

Nobody is planning to run, just on “I’m not Hillary.” This is an empty strawman argument.
