Brokaw: My Most Conservative Friend Might Vote for Hillary
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/23/2008 6:25:59 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Tom Brokaw says his most conservative friend has told him he might vote for Hillary Clinton. I for one believe the former NBC News anchor. Hillary supporters might indeed constitute the rightward fringe of his friend set.

The revelation occured on today's Morning Joe.

I have no respect for Tom “former News reader for NBC News” Brokaw, he is a leftist.

Watch for the media left, to start pummeling Romney now.

Always a good sign.

Tom Brokaw says his most conservative friend has told him he might vote for Hillary Clinton.

Alternative possible explanation: After being nagged, harangued and yelled at by Brokaw for hours, his friend finally said "OK, I might vote for Hillary" just to shut him up, much in the same way you would tell a screaming child "You might get ice cream if you're good" knowing darn well that the little brat is getting a double serving of Brussels sprouts tonight.

Who’s Sean Penn’s most conservative friend? His drug dealer?

Four doctors are at a conference and get to discussing the state of the medical arts in their respective countries:

The Japanese doctor says, “Medicine in my country is so advanced that we can take a kidney out of one man, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in six weeks.”

The German doctor says, “That is nothing. We can take a lung out of one person, put it in another, and have him out looking for work in four weeks.”

The British doctor says, “In my country medicine is so advanced that we can take half a heart out of one person, put it in another, and have both of them out looking for work in two weeks.”

The American doctor, not to be outdone, interjected, “You guys are way behind. We are about to take a woman with no brains, put her in the White House, and then half the country will be out looking for work.”

I’d rather have a leftist Democrat President that Congress opposes than a leftist RINO that Congress tries to work with and get things done.

Yeah, Tom, but your most conservative friend wouldn’t vote for anyone to the right of Lenin.

There is a school of thought floating around out there that if it comes down to McCain & Hillary (liberal vs. uber-socialist) that it might be better for Hillary to be in the saddle so when things turn to fecal matter, the public will have a clear message who to blame.

Not sayin’ I buy it, but it’s out there.

It might be an anti McCain vote to force to GOP back to the right.

It’s like Brittney Spears’ kids picking their best parent.

Yeah, but his “most” conservative friend is to the left of Stalin.

NO one who calls himself a conservative is a conservative if they vote for a devoted communist. Sorry Tommy boy. Your friend is NO conservative. If he votes for the communist bitch, he throws HIS beliefs out the window and has totally gone to the dark side.

Probably some imaginary friend. Most MSM mopes have no friends only other MSM mopes looking to stab them in the back for their job.

That’s of course predicated on an actual conservative congress...

Exactly; it reminds me of the NY Times drama (or was it food) critic Pauline Kael’s remark in 1980 that she just couldn’t understand how Reagan won “because just everyone I know voted for Carter”. They live in their own (small) universe and we ain’t part of it, no regrets on my part.

LOL!

Wouldn't that be nice, if we had to vote for the more liberal of the two.

I wont vote for either one, under any circumstances.
