Please let me know if you want ON or OFF of my Hillary ping list.

[Gondring]

Meanwhile, I support the conservative still...Ron Paul. When I get the opportunity to vote, that’s who gets my pick.

[gusopol3]

Obama seems to be Soros’ dog in the fight.

[Senator Goldwater]

So do they hold their meetings in a large place, like an elevator?

[NRPM]

This is a good analysis.

1) I want Hillary out NOW, not November. There’s plenty of time to work on Obama - he’s a very weak candidate.

2) Too risky! Too many issues we need to deal with to sit back and hope the Dems mess them up. There’s no certainty that people will turn back to the Republicans.

3) I voted for Reagan twice, and I’ve resigned myself that he might be the most conservative candidate I ever vote for. So I will make the best decision given the choice I have.

[mountainlyons]

Hillary conservatives? How do you spell oxymoron? I think Cain is far left and billery are even farther that way.

[DallasDeb]

Sounds like an oxymoron to me.

Worth a Poe Bump!

[jabonz08]

Very insightful, Mr.Poe. It occurs to me that’Bush Derangement Syndrome’ is also contagious to some Conservatives.

[Liberty Valance]

Interesting story. I believe i’ve seen all three types right here on FR. Always some convoluted excuse to vote like and for a dem. Have you written the story of the Obama-cons yet? That’s a whole other story even more convoluted than the Hillary-cons. I cast my vote in the Texas primaries yesterday, the last day of early voting, and DID NOT vote for either of those two lib/socialists. Trying to pick candidates i felt would do less harm to Texas and America was tough but i felt pretty good about it.

An Open Letter to Hillary Conservatives

Isn't this a bit like writing to Santa Claus?

[calex59]

If they support Hillary they are not conservatives.

[OESY]

Excellent analysis. We ensure Hillary’s election at our peril and the peril of generations of Americans, your kids and mine. It will be very difficult to reverse the damage she (or Obama) does. Here’s a partial list of what to expect under either Hillary or Obama:

Premature retreat from Iraq
Evidence of US weakness
Expanded Iranian influence
Iranian nuclear weapons
Possible attack on Israel
Costly attacks on US assets
Possible contamination of US cities
Involvement in Darfur and elsewhere
Interventions without vital national interests
Effective and real increases in taxes
Continued slump in public education
Unrealistic and costly energy mandates
Increased spending on global warming
Universal healthcare incl. 33m illegals
Undercutting drug patents and other companies
Less pharmaceuticals brought to market
Windfall profit taxes and other disincentives
Price controls and resultant key shortages
Trial lawyer suits/shakedowns destroy firms
Job losses from antibusiness legislation/suits
State gay marriage laws extended nationwide
Partial birth abortion and funding promoted
Removal of bankruptcy protections for pro-lifers
Bans and/or restrictive registrations on all guns
Restrictive use provisions on private land
More land designated as national reserves
Increased surveillance/audits of GOP opponents
Corrupt campaign and fundraising practices
Sale of pardons to Friends of Hillary (or Obama)
Criminal prosecution of terrorists, esp. domestic
Catch & release treatment of illegals restored
Elevation by press to untouchable status
Muffled criticism of government initiatives
Increased voter fraud by scuttling ID programs

Minutemen were outraged when President Bush called them "vigilantes". But Bush never hampered their operations. President Hillary would handle them differently. She would declare the Minutemen "domestic terrorists" and send them to Gitmo for waterboarding.

If this sounds farfetched, consider the counterterror policies of the last Clinton regime. Barely a month after Bill Clinton took office in January 1993, Muslim jihadists detonated a bomb beneath the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring thousands. The Clintons responded by declaring war on "domestic terrorists".

1. I think you’re giving Hillary too much credit. I don’t think she’ll win the nomination - even the Dems (some) are sick of her. From what I’m hearing she’s going to drop out Wed if Texas doesn’t go her way. If she drops out now and we win in Nov. she’ll be the presumptive nominee in 2012. If we want to take her out once and for all she needs to get the nomination this year otherwise she’ll be back.

2. Obama will make a worse President than Hillary. They believe the same things, but Obama has the charisma to get it passed through Congress.

[jveritas]

Agree 100%. The idea of Republicans voting for Hillary Clinton in Texas and Ohio is super idiotic. If they give her a huge win in Texas and Ohio she is going to be the nominee by the end of next week and without any fight at the convention. If she wins, she should win by little margin so Obama will go to the convention with a large delegates lead and in this case she will be forced to steal the nomination via Super Delegates plus seating Michigan and Florida delegates, which will lead to the huge fight at the convention and the break up of the democrats for many years to cone.

[HawaiianGecko]

I agree with Poe on much of his argument except his main theme.  Under no circumstances is Clinton in the position she finds herself on purpose. She's where she is because she underestimated this guy from Chicago and the machine that's backing him.  Obama has raised a phenomenal amount of money. When the February numbers come out his total is going to be somewhere North of $185 million.

I certainly haven't written her off and for the reasons that Poe points out. The Clinton machine is tough, it's big, it has all the right people and it's ruthless.

Obama is selling hope and it's working thus far.  People with common sense of course realize that it's easy to sell hope... hope is not a commodity... hope is not a service... hope is not a food.  Anyone can have all the hope they can handle without the help of Obama and they can have it for free.  Obama's hope comes with an expensive price tag.

Right now is seems that every time Obama does something that appears to work, the rest of the pack jumps on the same bandwagon rather than taking a deep breath, analyzing what this man is really selling and then asking themselves the simple question we all ask ourselves with every other purchase we make.  IS IT WORTH IT?

Hope is what con-men sell!  And someone had better start explaining it to the American public.

[aShepard]

I’m the fourth kind.

I’ll probably vote for Hillary, as McCain already has it, and I’d like to see Hillary have to spend every nickle that her machine has raised on her hideous campaign, just to be sure that she can’t steal the unspent amount, and hide it in Switzerland.
