I think he's fairly accurate. Money quote: "Just because the Clintons say something doesn't mean it's untrue."

"Just because the Clintons say something doesn't mean it's untrue."

I put the above quote in my Free Republic profile

[ken21]

the clintons have focused public attention on the

racism of the democrats.

[rod1]

“Carl Bernstein recently reported on the Huffington Post that Sidney Blumenthal, the Clintons’ preferred smear artist and rumor spreader, has been pushing the press to cover Obama’s ties to Bill Ayers, an alum of the left-wing terrorist group the Weather Underground, as well as “many other questionable allegations about Obama.” ...”

So Sid Vicious is not in a NH jail?

Hillary's bitter-end fight would position her to say to Democrats, "You were warned."

I have no doubt the Clinton's think this. However, if Obama crashes and burns in Nov., MOST Democrats activists are going to turn and say "This is YOUR fault Hillary" I think in pursuing this bitter end stategy Hillary is not only hurting Obama but destorying Clinton Inc political future.

[MNJohnnie]

Her centrism would no longer seem calculated

It is a sign of just how far gone the GOP Establishment, and the Democrat party, are that Hillary is now defined as a "Centrist".

Time for a political revolution.

You are probably right, but she is still going to stay in until August 28. Then she will have crossed all tees and dotted all eyes. She can then sit back and watch barack mcgovern get his ash kicked from Maine to arnoldfornia.
We are not the only ones who have people on our side who say “Let them have the White House and when they destroy the country the voters will crawl back.” We had fool who believe that line in 1992 and it gave us 8 years of the clinocchios embarrassing us and keeping us in constant danger. The clintons don't give a damn about America. They just want power. Letting barack mcgovern crash and burn gives them the rationale for the beasts nomination in 2012.

Howdy Hillary! I love it!

Although, I suspect that in reality, the roles are reversed. That is why Bubba feels such a need to stray from their so-called "marriage". /psychobabble

[Does so]

"...if Obama crashes and burns in Nov., MOST Democrats activists are going to turn and say "This is YOUR fault Hillary". I think in pursuing this bitter end stategy Hillary is not only hurting Obama but destorying Clinton Inc political future..."

Obama DOES have Secret Service protection, doesn't he?

"Time for a political revolution."

Now you are talking my kind of language!

But in the land (USA) of instant gratification will enough people start and/or sustain a "political revolt" long enough to insure it's outcome?

Our Declaration of Independence and Constitution gives us the political tools to do so - Our founding fathers foresaw that the time might come when "we (the people)" might just be in the position where a real political change is necessary.

George Washington, in his farewell address, went to great lengths to warn of problems of swearing fidelity to political parties. Alas, "we" didn't listen.

The "political revolution" you mention won't be won overnight. It was not intended to be. At age 62 I have already declared my independence and I feel sure in saying that I will not see the change if it indeed comes. Will enough Americans take the same attitude? I doubt it, but my decision has been made. I can only do what I can only do, if you get my drift.

"Time for a political revolution."

I'm in!

"Just because the Clintons say something doesn't mean it's untrue."

The klintoons will always lie, even if better served by the truth.

They will, on a rare unknowing moment, speak the truth, but it is an accident.

They are both pathological liars, but if either one says that today is Saturday, I check my calendar.

I’m still in for the beast in ‘08.

[detch]

Operation Chaos is a cigar that will explode in Rush Limbaugh's face.

Hillary will be on the ticket with Obama, and she'll be holding hands with him during the entire general election. (Bob Beckel wrote that Obama putting Hillary on the ticket as VP cannot NOT happen, and I think he is right).

Thanks Rush — you got the troops out to keep Hillary in the race after the Texas primary.

And, as your reward for that (low life, democratic Party type) tactic, we will see Obama and Hillary win the election.

Then it's welcome back to the STAGFLATION of the Cater years...

But it will result in higher ratings for Limbaugh than if McCain gets elected. For Rush, it's all about Rush.

[Anti-Bubba182]

After all the obstacles Clinton has thrown at Obama she won’t be able to claim she did not damage his 08 campaign, except she will do so anyway.

[EQAndyBuzz]

“I’m still in for the beast in ‘08.”

“So why does she keep going?”

Because as long as she can get suckers to fund her run there is no point in backing out. Anyone who thinks that that 20 mil she owes will not be paid back by some foreign lobbyist is naive.

All Hillary has to do is flip the superdelegates, many of who were in the Clinton camp to start with. I don’t buy that “we changed to Obama because...” crap. They are going to make Obama look as bad as possible steal the nomination from him then tell the blacks to get back on the plantation, which they will happily do because that’s what they have always done. And Clinton knows that.

There won’t be any riots in Denver. No one will be able to afford the gas to drive there to protest.

Coincidence?

[LS]

Glenn Beck and Neil Boortz have esposed the theory that she has to stay in to keep raising money to pay off her $20 million debt---that once she stops, the money dries up and the Clintons are on the hook for it.

Not being a Marxist, I have trouble seeing money driving anything like this for this long. If money is your motivator, you just don't have the energy and pig-headedness she has.

Moreover, the Clintons are richer than snot. $20 million is a few weeks' worth of speeches by the two of them, and one more book.

There is more to it. But I don't think Goldberg is right either---I don't think she can wait four more years.
