Hillary Clinton’s Done (At Least for 2008)

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

It’s difficult to see how Senator Clinton comes back from that remark about staying in the race because anything can happen. Fine up to that, and then she brought up the R.F.K. assassination in June of 1968. Now it might be a little tangiental to read too much into that, but WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? Her big primary wins in important states are now irrelevant. She has become radioactive. The remaining fence sitters among the super delegates are lining up behind Obama. By the way according to Robert Novak the electoral map according to current polling shows John McCain eaking out a victory against the senator from Illinois…at least for now

Hillary’s Latest Obituary

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

It seems that although the numbers don’t look good for the former First Lady, that Mr. Sunshine New Kind Of Politician can’t close the deal. I thought I was in Wonderland watching George Stephanopoulos on Sunday. When the question was put to Goerge Will, his response was (and I’m paraphrasing) that Senator Clinton’s huge win in West Virginia was little more that “A bump in the road for Senator Obama.” 67 to 26 percent in a red state that Democrats need to win a bump in the road? A 65 to 30 percent win in Kentucky. Hey George. Is that just a bump in the road/ Obama may be well ahead in the delegate count, but again he can’t wrap it up. What he does do is declare it impolite for anyone to question him. He may well be unbeatable in the primary. Beyond that it looks like the general election campaign should make for some good TV.

 

George W. Bush.

If President Bush would only talk a little more when the opportunity is right, he’d have better poll numbers.                                                                                                                                                   “Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is — the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”                                                         

Now if anyone reading the President’s words to the Knessett can find something to disagree with, I’d love to hear it. But from the Democrats’ collective reaction, you’d think someone had b____slapped them in public. From Barack Obama’s mischaracterization of the speech as an unjustified false political attack. And Senator Biden’s huffing and puffing on the Sunday shows was just pitiful. President Bush finally did what most conservatives have wanted to see him do. Call something what it is. Hey Barry. We don’t need to use the office of the President to elevate the status of a tinpot dictator/terrorist who’s seeking nukes. If you want to know what Ahmadinejad is planning to do, just listen to what he says. He’s been talking a lot about the destruction of Israel in case you missed the memo.

John McCain & His Liberal Moments

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Either he’s pandering to the La Raza segment of the Hispanic vote or he still believes in comprehensive immigrattion reform unlike what he said earlier to placate conservaitves. I stand by my earlier agreement with Sean Hannity that we’ll get some of what we want with Senator McCain in the White House and everything we don’t want from the Democratic side, given that Barack Obama is the likely nominee. Hillary Clinton, for all her left wing stands on issues, is someone I just don’t want to believe would let the country go down the tubes on her watch as the first woman President. (I admit I base that on nothing but one part observation and a larger part: my own gut.) But the presumptive Democratic nominee we’re likely to have is slightly to the left of Teddy Kennedy. (If that’s even possible.)

Global Warming

David Limbaugh actually wrote a nice piece about the biggest hoax environmentalists have ever tried to pull on us. We always want to reduce pollution. My own home state of Florida is dealing with gambling ships dropping sewage close to the shore. We’re reassured that only some marine life are damaged. HELLO! We EAT some of that marine life. Besides who wants to swim in poop water! But I digress. Man made global warming is highly unlikely if you look at the real evidence. (Don’t believe me. Check with Nasa.) And consider also that the majority of greenhouse gasses are generated by cows! So why are John McCain and Newt Gingrich hopping on the bandwagon? We will pay a steep economic price for no good reason if they get their way. I’d love to see official figures on the volume of greenhouse gas produced by gassy politicians.

Hillary Clinton

Congratulations to the Senator and former 1’st Lady on her win in the West Virginia primary. The news writers are already saying it doesn’t mean a thing because of demographics and other factors. To that I say “Fight on!”
