I really don't understand this almost reverent fear that some conservatives still hold for Hillary Clinton. It's as if they haven't noticed that she's had almost no clout at all during the last three years, and has routinely been bypassed by the White House in her position as SoS.
She's done nothing to distinguish herself in that office, and has more or less been a mincing mouthpiece for The One, when she finally does speak up. On top of that, she hasn't sought to make herself or the State Department (remember them?) into a high profile, powerful arm of the administration, as others before her have.
In fact, Bubba has been in the news a whole lot more than she has, in the last three years. Where's Hillary? Junketing around the world, wearing that dumb grin, and dressing like she's on a holiday cruise.
Last but not least, have you looked at her lately? She's dried up and worn out beyond recognition. She's also told reporters on more than one occasion, that rumors of her seeking the presidency are completely false, and that she'd refuse to run, if asked.
And let's not even start with what would happen to the internal dynamics of the Democrat party if Obama were to step aside for Hillary (for any reason). Blacks, for one, would cry "FOUL!", and throw the world's biggest hissy fit. They'd turn away en masse, even if Obama begged them to support Hillary.
Do you think the party bosses are too stupid to know that's what would happen if they pushed Hillary instead of Obama? I think not.
And most of that parasite class won't vote next year, just like in every other election.
Those starry-eyed idiots who took Obama over the top in 2008, will not vote for him again. That leaves the Obamatron vote, which won't be near enough to defeat a nation full of nail spitting, broken glass, hair-on-fire, Republican voters.
Bank on it.
Well that's B.S.!
And I hope you clarified down thread.....that 49% of voters don't pay FEDERAL INCOME TAXES.
Of course they pay sales tax, gas tax, phone tax, etc..etc....( And of course some got that money to pay those taxes..."free"..) But they don't pay "no taxes".
RANT OFF
I am certain that Obama is a one-term wonder, but the GOP are doing everything they possibly can to help him by pushing establishment RINOs for office and governing like Socialist lite. I’m pretty sure I could run a rock and beat Obama in 2012, but if he wins, it will be because the idiotic morons controlling the GOP did absolutely everything wrong.
Tough to see others throw in the towel.
Yep, you speak truth. We are at THE tipping point. Another RINO will pretty much seal America’s doom by not overturning Obama’s socialist damage. I’m not even certain a conservative can ferret out all of the damage Obama did, but a RINO will simply codify and entrench it.
I am very afraid for my country. Very.
The leaves are green long after the tree has died.
The body might be weak...but the mind is clear.
I’m sorry that a brief reply in a casual discussion in a public chat forum did not include an encyclopedic analysis of the totality of the subject covering all conceivable preconceptions of the matter, focusing in particular in your own neurotic hot button - whoever the he11 you are.
If the nation is hell-bent on maintaining this unsustainable status quo, then failure is inevitable. So be it, just be ready for the do-over.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"
I'm sorry for your brief lacking in clarity casual post also.
I just thought to correct it...for the uninformed casual reader out there, that might take everything as the gospel...here on FR.
I'm also very sorry,...that a mere correct correction trips a trigger for you.
My intent wasn't to pour "After Death" hot sauce down your pants....but just to help you out.
Of course I am deeply sorry...to have offended you. So I apologize
If job-one is to unseat obama, then the job-prep has got to be unseating Romney.
He is the only one obama can beat; and he would lose badly.
That is why the left and the lamestreams are trying to funnel him into the nomination — their kill zone.
If we manage to vote him out, I do fear what he will do from election day until the inauguration of the new president. He will do way more evil stuff than Clinton did as a lame duck president.
As you say, if he wins again, God forbid, all bets are off.
I cannot believe that America wants more of this hell.
If half of America is so stupid as to elect him again, we are all doomed.
Besides praying, I am donating as much as I can to the candidate I support.
We have to get a conservative as our nominee.
BHO has got to go. And he will. Next year this time Barry will be packing his prayer rug and heading back to Chicago and the bath houses.
Will Obama have Hillary for a vice pres and then bow out to become leader of the world because of the debt crises? Hillary then would be in the position to take over as our “leader” and because of the debt crises Obama would become world “leader”. No more USA but a USA under Obama as world leader? Is Obama the antiChrist?
I agree...
The martial law option IS open to him. Remember all the powers we have vested in the Presidency under post 9/11 legislation.
It does not matter how many vote obumo gets. It matters how they COUNT the votes, and how they flip the votes from R to D! obumo’s humongous war chest will see to it that he gets more votes than the R, unless -
we keep obumo’s name off the ballots!
Why let him run when he is NOT constitutionally eligible to run?
The war is on in NH to remove his name form the NH ballot.
Keep it going to remove his name from just a few states and he is toast!
