43% of the US voter's are 'RAT, noteably boomers and seasoned citizens. These people vote 'Rat only because of the (D) behind a candidate's name. They live in a fantasy of utopia founded by FDR and JFK. There are no new 'Rats, just the same ole vermin. The Klinton's are vampires. It's up to the opposition party, the GOP, to put a stake through the hearts of these swindlers.

" If they continue to be captive of the Democratic Party, blacks risk being ignored by the dominant Republican Party and continuing to be taken for granted by the Democratic Party. "

Risk hell! The Democratic party sees blacks as field slaves. They will never let them in the house.

All Democrats likewise need to shake themselves free from the Clinton Curse...

Probably too late for that. The deal with the devil is a long term contract with no escape clause.

Will the media ever wake up?

Not likely. The bias is so deeply ingrained that the liberal cheerleaders in the mass media are incapable of even recognizing it.

Thx!

Q ERTY6 utter failure bump

 

In my view, Peggy Noonan gets mired in microanalysis and stuck in semantics.

It was glaringly obvious since September 11, 2001, and it was confirmed on November 5, 2002: the Democrat party is in the throes of death.

It suffers from terminal obsolescence, intractable vacuity, a vertiginous, egocentric spin, and spontaneous corruption--that is to say--the Democrat party suffers from malignant clintonism.

From this it follows--no post hoc reasoning this--that the clintons and clintonism are already dead. The only question left is whether a decent burial is in the offing...

 

 
Thou art arm'd that hath thy crook'd schemers straight.
Cudgel thy brains no more, the clinton plots are great.
 

Mia T, On Neutered and Neutering,

IT IS OBVIOUS

By Mia T, 3-3-02

 

It is obvious to anyone who bothers to remove his political blinders. It is so patently obvious that even those whose political blinders are a permanently fixed fashion statement -- that is to say, even Hollywood -- can see it. (Just ask Whoopie Goldberg...or Rosie O'Donnell...) Bush's poll numbers are a reflection of this self-evident truth.

What is manifestly obvious and confirmed on a daily basis is the plain fact that Democrats are, by definition, constitutionally unfit to navigate the ship of state through these troubled, terrorist waters. Democrats were unfit pre-9/11, but few could see it then. It was 9/11 and its aftermath that made this truth crystal clear even to the most simpleminded among us.

The unwashed masses, the uninformed, the disinformed can see it now. All America can see it now. Self-preservation is kicking in, trumping petty politics at every turn.

And this is why Democrat demagoguery and stupidity and sedition are achieving new lows...

We are witnessing the last gasp of a political relic. The Democrat party is not merely obsolete. As 9/11 and clinton-clinton-Daschle action and inaction have demonstrated, the Democrat party is very dangerous.

We must now make sure that this fact, too, is obvious to all...

Clinton's failure to grasp the opportunity to unravel increasingly organized extremists, coupled with Berger's assessments of their potential to directly threaten the U.S., represents one of the most serious foreign policy failures in American history

Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize

 

 

Bill Clinton may not be the worst president America has had, but surely he is the worst person to be president.*

---GEORGE WILL, Sleaze, the sequel

 

Had George Will written Sleaze, the sequel (the "sequel" is, of course, hillary) after 9-11-01, I suspect that he would have had to forgo the above conceit, as the doubt expressed in the setup phrase was, from that day forward, no longer operational.

Indeed, assessing the clinton presidency an abject failure is not inconsistent with commentary coming from the left, most recently the LA Times: "Clinton Let Bin Laden Slip Away and Metastasize."

When the clintons left office, I predicted that the country would eventually learn--sadly, the hard way--that this depraved, self-absorbed and inept pair had placed America (and the world) in mortal danger. But I was thinking years, not months.

It is very significant that hillary clinton didn't deny clinton culpability for the terrorism. (Meet the Press, 12-09-01), notwithstanding tired tactics (if you can't pass the buck, spread the blame) and chronic "KnowNothing Victim Clinton" self-exclusion.

If leftist pandering keeps the disenfranchized down in perpetuity, clinton pandering,("it's the economy, stupid"), kept the middle and upper classes wilfully ignorant for eight years.

And ironically, both results (leftist social policy and the clinton economy) are equally illusory, fraudulent. It is becoming increasingly clear that clinton covertly cooked the books even as he assiduously avoided essential actions that would have negatively impacted the economy--the ultimate source of his continued power--actions like, say, going after the terrorists.

It is critically important that hillary clinton fail in her grasp for power; read Peggy Noonan's little book, 'The Case Against Hillary Clinton' and Barbara Olson's two books; it is critical that the West de-clintonize, but that will be automatic once it is understood that the clintons risked civilization itself in order to gain and retain power.

It shouldn't take books, however, to see that a leader is a dangerous, self-absorbed sicko. People should be able to figure that out for themselves. The electorate must be taught to think, to reason. It must be able to spot spin, especially in this age of the electronic demagogue.

I am not hopeful. As Bertrand Russell noted, "Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so. "

Mia T, hillary clinton blames hubby for terrorism

(SHE knew nuttin')

Meet the Press, 12-09-01

 

 

*George Will continues: There is reason to believe that he is a rapist ("You better get some ice on that," Juanita Broaddrick says he told her concerning her bit lip), and that he bombed a country to distract attention from legal difficulties arising from his glandular life, and that. ... Furthermore, the bargain that he and his wife call a marriage refutes the axiom that opposites attract. Rather, she, as much as he, perhaps even more so, incarnates Clintonism

Q ERTY3 co-rapist  bump!

You make a bunch of sound points in your post, but the problem with McAuliffe being "discarded, just like Reno and Cuomo" is that McAuliffe is a money man and as such knows the real Clintons in ways that Reno and Cuomo never did. It may be a rather sticky wicket for the Clintons to discard him. The shared lack of principles that define McAuliffe and Clinton is a strong binding force, and if one goes down, the other may ineluctably follow.

Ron Brown and Vince Foster knew the real Clintons too.
