Clinton Kabuki

I HEAR OSAMA BIN LADEN WOULD EXCEPT THE VP. AFTER ALL THE HAVE THE SAME AGENDA

One more bit of good news before I leave for work:

Grumpy old dudes like me can't drink BO Kool-Aide, it gives us heartburn....

And heartburn brings on a bad case of reality.

I am sickened by what I read in many of these posts. HRC supporters blaming BO supporters for dissing their candidate. It went both ways in all the comments I've read on varioius sites - and some of those posts were by Repugs trying to keep things stirred up between the two camps. The primary is OVER. BO won...period. Politics are politics. Neither candidate is the end all be all. They are PEOPLE, just like the rest of us. It's reality check time for both sides. We simply MUST win this election in the fall. Our country cannot economically survive another 4 years of corporate greed, nor can our military take 4 more years of war after having been stretched to the breaking point. Do any of you want them to go on 10 TOURS OF DUTY before this is over? That's where we are headed. How many more do you want to die for Bush's War? Or come home without limbs? These are your brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, friends! I don't give a rat if Hillary is on the damned ticket or not. But it is not my decision - it is Barak Obama's decision and whatever that decision is, I will live with it. The blood and treasure this country has spent on this stupid war of Bush's, not to mention the detriment to the economy cannot continue under a McCain presidency. So suck it up and everyone start acting like adults - this country is more important than any one person! Our founding fathers would be disgusted to know they put their lives on the line and fought so hard for this country to see it end up like this.

A vote for McCain is NOT a vote for Hillary. A vote for McCain is a vote for Geo. W Bush.

There are many McCain supporters posing as Clintonites, urging you to vote for McCain. They are trying to manipulate your mind.

Clintonites everywhere have to ask themselves some hard questions. I know that Obama has been your rival in the Democratic primary, but it pays to know who your real allies are. If you voted for Clinton because you believe in her policies, you would NEVER vote for McCain, whose political stand is OPPOSITE to Clinton's. Even if your don't like Obama or you are ticked off at the fact that Hillary didn't get the nomination, remember, it is not about who you like as much as it is about WHAT they will do in office. Obama's plans and politics are almost identical to Hillary's. Voting for McCain because you are upset that Clinton lost is like shooting yourself in the foot. Do your REALLY want four more years of a failed economy? Do you REALLY want the recession to become another Great Depression?

I am a Republican who decided to vote for Obama, partly because I think he is a great candidate, but even more so because I am very concerned about the economy. Early in the race when it wasn't certain who was going to win the Dem nomination, I used to say that if Obama lost I would vote for McCain. My reason for that was that I'm a Republican, also because I hated the Bill Clinton drama years, and I just couldn't warm up to Hilary's personality. But two months ago I realized that if Clinton gets the nomination, I would have to vote for her, even though I really don't like her, because voting for McCain would be so dangerous for our economy, which is on the brink of ruin.

I really respected Huckabee's morals and loved his personality, but when I thought it through, I couldn't see him as President, he just wasn't strong enough to tackle the problems facing us today. McCain is in the same boat. You may not like Obama, but you have to admit he ran a great campaign and has some serious chops as a politician. He can get the job done. Hillary could have too.

Hillary in her graceless performance last night proved that she is incapable of being a team player. She was the epitome of the soreset of sore losers. Totally ungracious. Totally self-absorbed. Totally "Clintonian." Did we really expect her not to behave this way? Yes, I guess we hoped she would act like an adult, but somehow feared that she would not. But her lack of grace was so jarring that even some of her strongest supporters are amazed. If anyone saw "The View" this morning it was very apparent that Hillary has lost their respect. And Charlie Rangell is voicing concerns. She has crossed a line here that is going to be difficult to step back from. But she better try. She needs to come out NOW and sincerely congratulate Senator Obama and concede and say she will wholeheartily support the ticket - BUT THAT SHE WILL NOT BE ON THe TICKET! The longer she waits the more damage is done to her legacy. She blew it last night. Her surrogates like Lanny Davis should be told to stop all of this VP talk. There is no way that she will - or should - be on this ticket. She proved that last night..

Jans88:

Didn't seem to bother you that Obama played the race card from day one of his candidacy though did it? Typical hypocrite. May not like what I have to say, but at least I tell the truth.

FYI! McCain is not antother "Dubya"

MCAIN, MCBUSH, MCSAME = NO DIFFERENCE!

A vote for McCain is a cote for another for years of Bush!

Wake UP call. Here is a new look at the whole Hillary/Barack VP situation. Barack should choose Hillary based on the single fact that she was so close in the primary. If for any reason during Barack's term he can no longer fullfil his duty the next in line would be the runner up in the primary. The United States would have a VP that THEY chose, not one Obama picked. We all already know her qualifications as a leader and as an advisior, really what harm would it bring? I recently had a discussion with my mother-in-law, who very narrow mindedly said during the conversation, "I won't vote for Obama if Hillary fills the VP slot.". People really? This is a decision that shouldn't be based on emotions, it feels like high school all over again. If you support Obama then you should support Obama. Who the vice president is really shouldn't alter your support. Same for Hillary supporters. If you support Hillary as president than you should support her as vice president. She will still be providing influence on the issues that we love her for supporting. While in her position she will be able to offer a second look/opinion/plan and from the two America can pick a better course. We need unity and here is the first step. It needs to be taken by those that we have chosen to lead.
