Bayh: Assassination Reminds Us That If We Don't Pick Hillary, GOP Could Paint Dems As Weak

Looks like Obama adviser David Axelrod isn't the only key player talking about the effect the Bhutto assassination will have on the Dem primary.

Here's Hillary supporter Evan Bayh, saying that the killing is a reminder that the Republicans will use such occasions to paint Dems as weak, which is why we need to nominate Hillary:

“When there are unfortunate calamities like this, the Republicans [will say], ‘See. See what we told you? We have to have someone who’s strong to defend America at a time of concern.’ Well, Senator Clinton is strong,” he said. “And she’s experienced. And she’s tough enough to defend this country and do it in a way that’s true to our values, the civil liberties we cherish, and that’s one of the reasons why I’m supporting her.”... “The job of the next president is not to be entertainer in chief. The job of the next president is to move our country forward to make the substantive changes that will matter in our daily lives, and to protect us in an uncertain and dangerous world. And that’s why in a field of very good candidates, I believe Senator Clinton has the right combination of experience and strength to accomplish all of those things.”

Pick Hillary

2008!

I say Richardson myself, but we’ll see.

There must be some enterprising soul somewhere who will figure out that if there are millions of stupid suckers willing to vote for Hillary, the most corrupt woman ever to run for public office, that he would offer to sell swamp land to those fools at a million dollars an acre to support Hillary.

I like it! Could promise a 'Hillary' bumper sticker with every purchase.

OTOH. . .maybe the more successful draw here for Hillaryites would be simply 'giving away' the swamp land. Their actually paying for anything could otherwise negate a deal.

Evan Bahy HAS to be the MOST BORING politician ever!! ANd Evan.....Democrats ARE WEAK against America’s ENEMIES....they think republicans are their enemies.

Thanks for that grim reminder. Certainly a ‘forgotten’ memory on behalf of the MSM et al.

I actually thought he’d be the next President if he ran. Not sure why he didn’t.

Bayh is positioning himself for Clinton VP or a position in the Clintonista Cabinet. If nominated, Hillary666 will pick Bayh as VP——lib female voters think he’s “dreamy.”

The only thing Hill is tough on is Americans like us.

Duh! Now we are hearing about the military potential leadership of the liar. The closest she ever came to military experience was a turndoun by a Marine recruiter:

[reg45]

The top three Democrats are weak, weaker and weakest.

[BOBTHENAILER]

Good posts....we are in total agreement.

H911ary

What exactly do you mean by that?

[melt]

B⁹¹¹ & H⁹¹¹ary Clinton were "Co-Presidents" in the '90s. Their weak responses to the attacks on the 1st World Trade Center & the USS Cole helped to inspire 9/11.

Also, they were offered Bin Laden's capture in 1996 by Sudan several times--- but refused.: http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2006/9/10/181819.shtml

Their mutual incompetence led to 9/11.

I changed the "I" in their names, and substituted it with a "9" [thus, "911"]. It is a crude visual reminder as to who really dropped the ball on 9/11.

It caught your eye, and got you thinking--- so I guess it worked. : )

[jveritas]

I definitely agree that Bill Clinton weakness was a major cause that led to 9/11 terrorist attacks.

[RightWhale]

When did Hillary!08 become the darling of the military establishment?

[melt]

I would still include H⁹¹¹ary in the mix. On the Newsmax tape, she says, "WE were looking to try to deal with Bin Laden..."

She had a major role in the Clinton Administration's dangerous decision-making.

And now she's hired the terror document thief Sandy Berger--- again.
