The High Cost of Hillary

Commentary Magazine ^ | Jan 28, 2008(?) | Peter Wehner

[Spok]

Is there a limit to how much evil even a Democrat can tolerate?

[ari-freedom]

if hillary loses the nomination, that would be seen as a repudiation of a clinton record that many democrats were quite proud of. They wouldn’t have any example to point to. That would be a big loss for democrats

[Responsibility2nd]

I predict Bill will screw it up big time.

There’s only so much America can tolerate.

[Graybeard58]

We are now seeing the zeal of the recent converts in action.

A beautiful sight to behold. I haven't had this much fun since the Supreme Court refused to let Gore steal the election.

The only damper on my fun is the lack of anybody on the Republican slate to get excited about.

[VRWCmember]

There’s only so much America can tolerate.

The clintons (and kerry and algore) have demonstrated that the limit is WAY more than it should be.

[RoseofTexas]

Probably not, BUT the one who is looking EXTREMELY admirable, honest and presidential is... President Bush. After seeing and hearing how ugly the RATS are Mr. Bush stand heads above them all. When his term is finished he will be remembered as one of our GREATEST presidents. Of course the mediaWHORES and liberal historians will try their best to sling mud at him just like they tried with Reagan and look, Reagan is one of the most BELOVED president in our country. GOSH, I miss him. GOD BLESS PRESIDENT MR. BUSH!!

[Raebie]

Hillary is learning belatedly what Gore learned years ago.

Bill is toxic.

[Rodm]

OH NO! Fascist Benito Hillary Clinton going down in flames.

[Caipirabob]

Wow. Liberals coming around to actually understand what the Clintons are about?

We should start hitting them up on smaller government, lower taxation and the big lie called "global warming".

I can dream, can't I?

[Republic Rocker]

Guess that makes us conservatives correct and right on all these years!

[winodog]

The Clintons took a poll and decided there were enough Mexicans to drive the bus and decided to make blacks ride in the back.

[SERKIT]

Sometimes I think about the "Rat F*ckers" in the of days of old in the Republican party and, man, could we use them now against the Clintons.

But then, we really don't need such a squad if the Republicans simply expose, expose, expose the history of the Clinton RICO organization.

Doug From Upland is a great example of this, but he seems to have trouble getting traction. Will ANYONE from the Drive-By-Media not only look at the FACTS but have the will to actually talk about them. Forget about what is sequestered at the Clinton Lie-brary and Massage Parlor, the facts are in the public domain.

Secondly, will ANY candidate (including Obama) dare to discuss the Clinton scandals on the campaign trail?

Don't look for McCain to use ANY of these facts or tactics if he becomes the Rep candidate - he's just "too cute by half" with Hillary. Rudy is too vulnerable on the scandal front, and Willard doesn't seem to have the stomach for it.

Where are the new "Rat F*uckers"?

If Hillary is the candidate, the definition of the RICO laws will have to be rewritten. If Barry is the candidate, MANY Reps will switch over and vote for him.

[PGalt]

Great article by Peter Wehner and great thread by FReepers! BTTT!

[Inspectorette]

Rose, I’m with you - I think history will be kind to President Bush.

[Richard Kimball]

The Democrats not only tolerated the Clinton shenanigans, they were gleeful when the Clintons were using much nastier tactics against the Republicans. The press functioned as a megaphone for the Clintons when they called a mild recession "the worst economy of the last fifty years." They sat on their hands and couldn't find their keyboards when Sandy Berger was caught stealing and destroying top secret documents. They manufactured excuses when 900 FBI files were found in the White House. They whistled quietly and looked away when the subpoenaed billing records from the Rose Law Firm showed up in Hillary's private quarters at the White House. They joined the Clintons in spitting on Ken Starr and thought it was quite a yuk when other subpoenaed documents were separated so the pages were out of order, then mixed with hundreds of pages of non-relevant documents so it would take the special prosecutor a couple of weeks just to find and assemble the pages.

The Clintons are probably shocked. They haven't done dick to Obama. All they've done is make a few snide comments. Wait until the Democrats find out that the Clintons have the super delegates lined up, and that Hillary is going to figure out a way to get the Michigan and Florida votes to count. Anybody think Hillary was behind having them NOT count in the first place so she wouldn't have any competition, and would have two large states to bring in as a backup plan if things got hairy? The Dems haven't seen half of the Clintons unleashed on Obama yet.

[Richard Kimball]

The only reason they’re waking up is because they think they may have another horse to ride with Obama. If Hillary’s the only horse, they’ll get back on and ride her.

[tpanther]

My sentiments exactly.

[glorgau]

... face ever new depths of shamelessness from the Macbeth Family

Fantastic line! It frames their motivations quite nicely.

[fightinJAG]

If this guy’s observations are accurate, something good is happening for the country right now. If the ‘Toons, and their ruthless politics of personal destruction, can be crushed, and truthful ideas can then be debated, that will be progress.
