The Dims are mainly LIBERALS and are the party of the gullible. They generally believe in "Style" over substance when considering a candidate.

The need even WANT womb to the tomb, cradle to grave government involvement in their daily lives.

They vote based on FEELINGS not THOUGHT and as a whole believe there is NOTHING about the United States worthy of any type of sacrifice.

They hate the upper middle class and consider them, the rich and big business our nation's ENEMIES, NOT AL QAEDA.

They hate Christianity and see no difference between Billy Graham and Osama Bin Laden.

They embrace, even idolize any and all deviant behaviour, their motto is, "If it feels good do it." And no one is responsible for their own behaviour it is always someone else or society's fault!

There is no right and no wrong, no good, nor evil [except hypocrites and conservatives] and as Ann Coulter says, "Abortion is their sacrament."

Two weeks ago did anyone really expect Hillary Clinton to be fighting to win the nomination instead of being coronated? Very few did expect her to be fighting and the vast majority expected a coronation. Although she will most probably be the nominee still she proved that she is not that popular among many democrats because she is the most unlikable and meanest candidate to run for President in decades. The myth of the invincible political power of the Clintons is greatly overrated. Bill Clinton who is vastly more likable and charismatic than his wife never got a majority of votes in two elections held in time of peace. Hillary Clinton is not going to be elected President because she is the most unlikable and meanest person to run for President in decades, neither her, nor her husband, nor their political machine, nor the media can change this fact.

PS: The "tears" and "my feeling are hurts" tricks can only be used once, and she used it in New Hampshire.

People will find reasons to do what they’re going to do. There is an old Russian saying, “The dog has a thousand reasons to mount its own mother.” Or something like that.

This manufactured controversy is just the splash, not the wave; the water rather than the energy moving through it.

The Dems are starting to realize that Obama isn’t such a good idea. They lost their nerve in 2004 and went with the perceived safe Kerry, rather than their wild boy inclination.
They said it was the scream, but it was more like the cover of National Review: “Please Nominate This Man.” (Dean) They knew it wouldn’t be wise and they found a way to wiggle out of it.

Now we have a black man whose middle name is Hussein, winning Iowa for the Dems, who wake up next day wondering how they got in bed with this stinker. And an old demon of a pro (Clinton), immediately after calling him a false prophet, morphs into a sweet whimpering alternative. The inferred tears wash away the headlines about her debate meltdown, and light the path for those who would flee the Obama camp.

“Come to me,” she murmurs with her suggestion of tears, before the nation has quite absorbed the shock of Obama’s Iowa win. Before the panic has taken hold. She knows they’re about to stampede, and she is ready to direct traffic.

It’s inspired strategy. What a little thing to hang it on! Obama saying with spontaneous chivalry, “You’re likeable enough, Hillary,” is being condemned. Her clearly phony whimper is heard ‘round the world.

But it never would have worked, if the Dem hordes weren’t ready to move, to recoil violently from an Obama ticket to disaster.

I was speaking with a good friend last night who is always a good interpreter of the news. He saw the Hillary segment and did not believe it was contrived. His comment was that out of all the candidates this is the only one we know of who has spoken of how she really, really cares. I can see what he’s saying. From her perspective, even if selfish and socialist, she was speaking from her heart. (So, if Stalin says he really, really cares, we might question what he cares about, but it’s also true that he might really care for his own bad reasons.)

The point is this: it isn’t any phoniness that we should be pushing. That only looks like sour grapes.

What we should be screaming about is that the night before an election, the MEDIA gave her the entire evening of a non-stop campaign commercial. Every outlet did it: Fox, ABC, CBS, etc., etc.

They showed that clip over and over and over....

Now, someone tell me why that camera in that setting with that video segment which really isn’t based on any issue whatsoever got that kind of attention?

“This was supposed to be her year. Her triumph. Her her-story.

“Maybe a few of those tears welling up in her eyes were real after all.”

BINGO!!!! Finally. Somebody gets it right. The welling of tears was real. As MM says, “Anyone who believes Hillary spontaneously teared up and got emotional on the campaign trail has been in a coma the last three decades.” True. It was not spontaneous. But the emotion was real.

What people don’t get is that it had nothing to do with the words coming out of her mouth. She was upset bec she saw her “inevitable” coronation evaporating.

It is a distinction that our sides MUST understand if we are to counter the Beast’s tactics.

See my post #30.

Also, nobody else has pointed this out, but when I went to the ABC website to check out the video on the day it happened, guess what? It was nothing but Hitlary. There was no reporter. NO voice over. No framing of the incident by the media. Nothing but the raw video of her whine fest.

This is simply NEVER done by the media. NOBODY gets unedited, raw footage made available to the public. Just doesn’t happen.

Except this time.

Can somebody get this factoid to MM or Rush or SOMEBODY who can do something with it?

when I went to the ABC website to check out the video on the day it happened

The segment I saw was roughly 3-5 minutes long, and I saw it at least 5 times that evening. There were other times when I saw just pieces of it. I heard commentary on it. There was absolutely zero discussion of ANY issue. None.

I'm not sure what an advertising buy of a 5 minute segment played continuously throughout the day on every single media outlet would have cost, but I'm guessing something like 250-500 million.

How do we count that when we look at legalities in her contributor's list? We won't, because it will never show up.

polls be darned.

have clinton supporters suddenly changed their mindset?
they love the clintons because of their conduct, not in spite of it. they think it’s a slap in the face to “big oil”, “big business”, “corporate greed”, ad nauseum.

clinton supporters have not turned into saints. they are still the same, with the same hatred for “the rich” and still embroiled in socialist causes. they will not abandon an effective machine that works for them.
(imho)
