Pee Wee Herman for President.

[alloysteel]

Herself is so OBVIOUSLY the front-runner, all you other chumps just as well go home right now, save your time and effort.

This is going to be a CORONATION. The Prom Queen is in the building.

Juanita and Kathleen are hoping to be able to confront her during the campaign. Katherine Prudhomme would like to join them if she is able.

[bmwcyle]

So you don't like Hillary?

The white woman, the only real swing voter...

My ex would fit this 'swing-voter' description better than anyone I know. White, intelligent, divorced, professional female... doesn't really care for the Clinton's but just might vote for HRC only because of her gender. Politics wouldn't really enter her mind if it came down to The Beast versus a Republican... she would simply vote for the female.

Scary.

You've done it again! Mia, thank you for the many hours of research and work you put into these threads. It is important that these clips and incidents be archived, lest we (and others) forget. You are an FR Superstar! BTTT

[pinz-n-needlez]

I think that's *Howard* Wolfson.

I know, it's hard to keep all of Hillary's cabana boys separate! lol

Can you imagine what her SOTU speeches would be like???!!!

Carville compares her anatomy to ideology. Bill must love that one everytime he unzips his scud missle from the silo.

[Forthill]

Somebody's got a little time on their hands.

[IVote2]

I wish we had a MiaT running against this hideous impersonation of a woman, Hillary!

Brilliant observation about Car-vile!

[Mia T]

Oh, one more thing. The title....

While it is unclear who deserves the credit for the title, 'The Power of Hillary,' Carville and Penn, or the Washington Post, its blaring lack of subtlety--and its insidious second message: (Dare to dump powerful hillary and you'll pay. Bigtime!)--only serve to underscore what jackboot thugs the clintons are and how great the desperation is these days in the hillary camp.

[Texas Jack]

Another fine post. Thank you.

CORRECTIONS, ADDITIONS

CARVILLE'S 'Clinton is electable! Clear the way!' BATTLE CRY SPELLS TROUBLE FOR HILLARY

by Mia T, 7.02.06

he embarrassing need to dispatch longtime clinton operatives, James Carville and Mark J. Penn, to the Washington Post in order to prop up hillary clinton yet one more time,¹ confirms what is plainly in the field... and what is doubtless in missus clinton's internal polls: Big problems ahead for the quondam shoo-in.


"Faugh a Ballaugh!"

The Post Carville-Penn apologia, full of poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication is, clearly, missus clinton's response-by-proxy (how else?) to the growing 'dump hillary' movement within the Democratic Party.^1a

THE PITCH

[S]he's tough enough to handle the viciousness of a national campaign and the challenges of the presidency itself.

The Power of Hillary
James Carville and Mark J. Penn
Washington Post, 7/2/06

Oh really?

Then how come missus clinton relies exclusively on the likes of Carville and Penn to answer her critics? How come she never defends herself?¹

How come missus clinton submits only to scripted, softball interviews with friendly hosts and prescreened audiences?

How come she routinely quashes the dissent of the people by abusing her Secret Service detail paid for by the people?^1b

How come she is answerable to no one, ever?²

There is a difference between being an abusive scold³ and being tough. Missus knownothing victim⁴ clinton is the very definition of weak.⁵

  

 The difference with Hillary is the intensity of her support.-- ibid

 

The difference with hillary is the smallness and parochialism of her support. The difference with hillary is the intensity of the revulsion.⁶

Pundits and fundraisers and activists may be unsure of whether Hillary can get elected president, but Democratic voters, particularly Democratic women and even independent women, are thrilled with the idea.

The X factor for 2008 -- and we do mean X -- is the power of women in the electorate. Fifty-four percent of voters are female. George Bush increased his vote with only two groups between 2000 and 2004: women and Hispanics. Bush got 49 percent of white female voters in 2000 and 55 percent in 2004. Of his 3.5-percentage-point margin over John Kerry, Bush's increase with women accounted for 2.5 percentage points. The rest came from a nine-point increase among Hispanic voters: from 35 percent in 2000 to 44 percent in 2004. We believe that Hillary is uniquely capable of getting those swing voters back to the Democratic column. -- ibid

Why are Carville and Penn making such a transparently spurious and insulting argument? They aren't that dumb.

For the same reason Harold Ickes fulminated on C-SPAN.

The election of 2004 confirmed missus clinton's worst fears:
9/11 and the clintons' willful, utter failure for eight years to confront terrorism) were transformative. They caused a political realignment--for all practical purposes permanent--that is not good news for clinton, or for the Democrats, generally.

The white woman, the only real swing voter, the demographic the Democrats MUST get in order to win the White House, has turned red.⁷

And when the socially conservative Hispanics hear more about the clinton rapes and predations⁸--hear, specifically, about missus clinton's role⁹ in them--hillary can kiss their vote goodbye.











We think she represents the kind of change the country is yearning for: a smart, strong leader-- ibid


hillary clinton is no smarter¹⁰ than she is strong.⁵
'Nuf said.

Oh, one more thing. The title....

While it is unclear who, Carville/Penn or the Washington Post, is responsible for the title, 'The Power of Hillary,' its blaring lack of subtlety--and its insidious second message: (Dare to dump powerful hillary and you'll pay. Bigtime!)--only serve to underscore what jackboot thugs the clintons are and how great the desperation is these days in the hillary camp.
