Do you really doubt that the Clintons will do ANYTHING to win?

Something I read this morning BLEW MY MIND.

For weeks now I have been reading about Rush Limbaugh’s public call for Republicans to switch party lines and vote for Hillary. His contention was that by extending the Democrats’ primary race that it would hopefully weaken them for the race against a now assured John McCain candidacy. I think that some people thought it a joke, but apparently it’s working. Here’s the video:

Now for the mind blowing part: BILL CLINTON APPEARED ON THE RUSH LIMBAUGH SHOW ON THE MORNING OF THE TEXAS AND OHIO PRIMARIES. For real. Is it conceivable that Bill Clinton was in bed with one of his biggest critics and demonizers of anything democrat? Yep. If it would help Hillary on election day.Geraldine Ferraro was recently sent out to make a statement to ensure that the race card would be played in this election. As a paid member of Hillary’s staff, many have called for her dismissal, which the Clintons so far have rebuffed. A far cry from the dismissal asked for and granted when one of Obama’s senior staffers dared called Hillary a MONSTER (which she is), the Clinton campaign has ignored cries of horror from party democrats at this divisive, petty tactic. Would an elder stateswoman in the Democratic Party intentionally make racist, divisive statements to advance the needs of her candidate while at the same time hurting, or at least disctracting the party? If it would help Hillary on election day.UPDATE: Geraldine Ferraro resigned yesterday saying it was her own decision and that Hillary, nor her campaign asked her to. – ed.

The Washington Post thinks Hillary’s “3 A.M.” ads in Texas and Ohio were fear mongering right out of Karl Rove’s play book. Exploiting fear to promote her own experience was ugly enough, but the fact that SHE HAS NO EXPERIENCE IN TIMES OF CRISIS made it hypocritical.The Chicago Tribune did a great job detailing Hillary’s exaggerations and lies with regards to her ACTUALForeign Policy experience. So as the Clintons have used fear mongering ads, basically perpetrating LIES. We have all seen the effects of repeating lies enough that people begin to believe them. Remember the Weapons of Mass Distraction Destruction that were talked about for months leading up to the Iraq War? “Don’t let the smoking gun be a Mushroom Cloud over the United States” was and oft-repeated phrase we heard verbatim for months on television and in the print media. Would the Clintons stoop so low as to apply such Rovian tactics to this election? If it would help Hillary on election day.

The Clinton’s are ignoring math, which keeps getting worse for her campaign all the time. They are ignoring the will of the Democratic party by continuing their often dirty fight against Obama, and what it seems at times like the entire Democratic Party. They seem to be hoping for a miracle, a back room deal, or some other form of a political Knife Fight at the Convention. Hillary has even gone so far as to state that McCain would be a better choice than Obama if Barack were to win the democratic nod. Hillary has become a political suicide bomber, willing to take down Obama, and the entire Democratic Party if necessary to meet her goals.


So the real question here is: What would Mrs. Clinton do if she was in charge of the country? If she is so willing to DO ANYTHING to get the job, what is she capable of doing with the newly expanded powers of the Oval Office?

Mrs. Clintons has proven that she will ignore the Democratic party, get in bed with the Republicans, and ignore ethics, morals, and decency in order to achieve her goals. We already have a president like that.

We need a change.

Enough Already!

The president today announced that he is IN SUPPORT OF TORTURE. Bush announced that he would veto an anti torture bill already passed by congress. “The bill would take away one of the most valuable tools on the war on terror, the CIA program to detain and question key terrorist leaders and operatives,” deputy White House press secretary Tony Fratto said Friday.

So, we’re for TORTURE, at least as defined by Amnesty International and other human rights groups? Check.

Last week it came out that the war against terror didn’t in fact cost us $750 Billion, as we were told for the last several years of public spending statements. Bush and company will have spent almost $3 TRILLION on the war SO FAR, the increases mostly hidden in SECRET APPROPRIATIONS BUDGETS. While not an overt lie, this really does seem like a lie of omission. Borderline financial impropriety? Check.

John McCain has said repeatedly that he intends to be in Iraq for 100 years. This doesn’t include the upcoming conflicts in Iran, Syria, and perhaps VENEZEULA. At our current pace of spending, that would make for a $100 TRILLION commitment for the next 100 years. Insane unsustainable path of destruction for our country? Check.

Economy in the tank? Check.

Taking every opportunity to eliminate our Constitutional granted rights? George Bush has stated publicly that “its just a goddamned piece of paper!”, when asked about the Patriot Act’s possible infringements on our rights. So we have a president an administration and a party that support him who do not believe in the constitution? Check.

A president and an administrations that categorically lied to get us into war, to enrich his friends? Check.

So enough already, THESE PEOPLE HAVE FAILED.

I have an idea on how to fix things, or at least try to fix things. DO NOT VOTE FOR THESE PEOPLE AGAIN!

John McCain is another Bush, prototype, Pro-War, Pro-Big-Business, president. Voting for McCain is offering an extension to the current administration. Unfortunately, this one we have isn’t working so well now. Look around. These people have failed. Giving McCain a chance is basically saying “things are going great, let’s stay the course“.

Staying the course hasn’t worked for Bush, why would we use his tactics to give McCain a shot at continuing the wreckage caused by this administration?

We need change.

Good news continues for Obama, not so much for Clintons

Obama Button

In continuing trends, the good news continues from the Obama camp. In the latest primaries Obama has cut deeply into Hillary Clinton’s base, and continues to win convincingly in red states, where he was not expected to do well. The 2 million member strong SEIU Union gave Obama a critical endorsement, and this just in from the New York Times:

“Representative John Lewis, an elder statesman from the civil rights era and one of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s most prominent black supporters, said Thursday night that he planned to cast his vote as a superdelegate for Senator Barack Obama in hopes of preventing a fight at the Democratic convention.”

Over in Clinton’s camp? Bill has been accused of misusing campaign mailing lists to garner millions in consulting fees in trade for lists of supporters. Mark Penn, Hillary’s chief strategist was tied to controversial nuclear firm, Exelon, and shown to have accepted nearly a $250,000 in consulting fees from them.

Hillary is also being railed for missing a critical vote on the FISA Bill extension, including immunity for Telecoms who aided in warrentless wiretaps on United States citizens. Obama missed the vote to be fair, and he was in DC. Mrs. Clinton was campaigning in Texas, as her new strategy is to bank everything on Ohio and Texas.

The Clinton campaign is losing the financing race badly, and Hillary has vowed to take the Democratic nomination even if she does not win the popular vote, but persuades enough superdelegates to vote for her at the convention, her campaign advisers say. She even had her own surreal Coast to Coast Town Hall meetings – that nobody noticed.

This election is starting to look one sided to everyone but the Clintons. I hope they start to notice soon for all our sakes.
