WARNING: BARF ALERT (From a liberal website)
In the past couple of weeks, Senator Hillary Clinton has violated that cardinal rule again and again as she personally vouched for the readiness of John McCain to assume the presidency, while belittling Barack Obama as nothing more than a speech.
Here is perhaps the most devastating gift she gave to the Republicans as she patronizingly dismissed Obama:
Calling McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee a good friend and a
Clinton couldn't stop herself from praising McCain: The pro-McCain comments were quickly and widely panned so Clinton repeated them.
James Fallows reported on Wednesday,
Eric Zorn, a normally low-key columnist for the Chicago Tribune, reacted with uncharacteristic alarm:
Former Senator Gary Hart was one of the many long-term party activists who was appalled by Clinton's pumping up of John McCain while patronizingly dismissing Barack Obama. He decried her comments:
By saying that only she and John McCain are qualified to lead the country, particularly in times of crisis, Hillary Clinton has broken that rule, severely damaged the Democratic candidate who may well be the party's nominee, and, perhaps most ominously, revealed the unlimited lengths to which she will go to achieve power. She has essentially said that the Democratic party deserves to lose unless it nominates her.
Former presidential candidate and Senator Bill Bradley was quoted in a London newspaper:
Bill Clinton presaged the strategy of his wife when he noted a few weeks ago that Senator Clinton and Senator McCain had deep respect for each other and would run a civilized campaign.
We don't know what Senator Clinton's criteria are for the crossing "the commander-in-chief threshold." The Chicago Tribune pretty much debunked Clinton's scant claims to foreign policy and military experience, and McCain wants to bomb Iran and continue the war in Iraq for a hundred years. What allowed McCain and Clinton to cross that threshold? It appears to be poor judgment in foreign policy as far as their Senate careers are concerned.
We'll be further exploring the Clinton-McCain connection in foreign policy and D.C. establishment ties in tomorrow's BuzzFlash Editor's Blog, "Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Barack Obama and Judgment Day."
Oh, and if you'd like to print out the McCain-Clinton for President and Vice President campaign button, just click here and print. .....
but you look ANY way.
...or it could even be...you CAN'T look away.
Wonder if that was really a Freudian slip and means, I really should just look away? Lol!
My blood pressure [and my family] would probably appreciate it if I did the latter. ;^)
Yeah, since The Clintons declared their candidacy (which anyone with half a brain had known was coming since about 2000), my blood pressure has been dangerous. It’s gotten worse since ‘Operation CHAOS’ , all the popcorn cartoons/pictures, and the “you know, I really have to admire Hillary, and having them in office again would be better than McCain or Obama” FR posts came into the picture. And now the same people are salivating about 2012 already, since they didn’t get them this time.
I'm NOT SUPPORTING that liberal piece of garbage, McCain. Conservatives will be better off, if McCain isn't in the Whitehouse. Then they can protest democrats and protect conservatives. But with that RINO in the Whitehouse, conservatives are toast.
Karl Rove and Dick Morris are our worst enemies!!
That's true, but that's not what you're saying.
What you're actually saying is, "Either you agree with me about tactics or you're a liberal." Sorry, but that's a...
...as in, "I'm not buying it." And I don't think many other people will either. I mean really, take me for example: Former Hunter supporter, former keeper of FR's pro-life ping list and publisher of the Useful Idiot Caption-A-Rama, conservative columnist and blogger who has fielded death threats from libs with a smile, board member of two pro-life ministries, founder of my town's weekly pro-troop demo, which I have faithfully attended each week for the last five years...and you're going to tell me I'm not a conservative?
Good grief man, you need to get over yourself.
I would also note that you've said "Conservatives will be better off, if McCain isn't in the Whitehouse," but unless I miss my guess you're not one of the people who will have to serve in combat under Barack Hussein Obama.
We disagree on tactics, not on conservative fundamentals. To think we do is delusional self-righteous prig blather.
But even those serving in combat will be better without McCain in the Whitehouse.
McCain only destroys conservatives.
Your vote would be better spent on Barr.
It will be the Democrat protest vote (Hillary voters) that will put McCain in office, not the Republicans.
Yeah, just like the military was better off under Carter. I hope the police don't catch you smoking whatever that is you've been puffing on.
See post 63 where he says those who vote for McCain aren’t conservatives, and post 64 where I answer that stupidity.
We need someone who will defend the military,
Yeah, Barack Obama. That'll be great. With the guy who wanted Rumsfeld fired because the Haditha killings really happened (why bother with pesky trials) standing right next to him. Maybe they can make Bill Ayers SecDef, he's got Pentagon experience.
It really is fun to watch you guys try to excommunicate people from conservatism because they're making the same choice that Ronald Reagan made when a RINO won the primaries in '76. Truly, you guys know more about what's good for America than that liberal jerk Reagan.
Even more hilarious is your little "cut-n-run" graphic, featuring the people who wanted to lose this war, a war we are now winning because McCain fought them and demanded tactics that would work. Meanwhile, you want to put their best buddy in office and tell us all how good it will be for America. No thanks. Why don't you go over to the American Lung Association and design them a new ad campaign featuring Joe Camel and the Marlboro Man?
If I'm not a conservative in your eyes, I guess you'll just have to call me a Reagan liberal. I'll wear that label proudly.
