How to Beat Hillary (Next) November

Hey folks, Scott Mcclellan , the former White House Press Secratary, wrote a book that is coming out in Spring of 2008. Here's an excerpt featured on Public Affairs:

"The most powerful leader in the world had called upon me to speak on his behalf and help restore credibility he lost amid the failure to find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. So I stood at the White house briefing room podium in front of the glare of the klieg lights for the better part of two weeks and publicly exonerated two of the senior-most aides in the White House: Karl Rove and Scooter Libby.
There was one problem. It was not true.

I had unknowingly passed along false information. And five of the highest ranking officials in the administration were involved in my doing so: Rove, Libby, the vice President, the President's chief of staff, and the President himself."

How wil Mr. Rove spin this one?

This a freakin' freak show...

At the time of the Clinton impeachment, I wondered if Jerry Ford was spinning in his (metaphorical, political) grave. After all, if he had not pardoned Nixon before he went to trial, America would have learned what constituted high crimes and misdemeanors. He could have pardoned him after conviction, like Libby; at least his crimes would have been aired.

That, of course, was before the crimes of Bush, Cheney, Rove and the like. I'm not sure they have outdone Nixon's aims, but they have surely exceeded his ability to control the media, means of communication, and dissent. Everyone who has dissented has been labeled stupid, if not traitorous. Criticizing the President is enough to get your name, address, phone number published online so haters can harrass you forever (remember the kid commenting on SCHIP?).

I'm surprised Rove doesn't discuss push polling or other unethical tactics that are his trademark.

The problem with Rove's strategy is that he assumes any of the possible nominated Republicans will call for a change or provide any shred of hope of change from the disastorous war,foreign, and domestic policy that he, Bush and Republicans brought to us. The Worst President Ever , means Rove is the Worst Political Strategist Ever. A stolen election shouldn't be credited to Karl, it should be asterisked like Barry Bonds, or stripped like Marion Jones, and Floyd Landis.

FREERANGER, YOUR COMMENTS WERE INTERESTING AND SERVE TO UNDERLINE WHY AMERICA CANNOT AFFORD TO TURN OVER REIGNS EVEN FROM AN INEPT ADMINISTRATION WHICH I VOTED FOR TWICE TO A GUTLESS ADMINISTRATION OF LIBERALS. WHETHER WE AGREE OR NOT OVER THE WAR WHY MUST LIBERALS CONSISTENTLY LIKEN THE U.S. TO NAZIS. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING VERY TROUBLING IN THE LIBERAL PSYCHE TO PREFER WOODCHIPPERS IN USE BY SADDAM AGAINST HIS OWN PEOPLE TO REMOVING HIM. WOULD THE OVENS IN GERMANY STILL BE IN USE IF TODAYS LIBERALS HAD BEEN IN POWER?

How much do you have to hate America to hire this guy? It must be alot. I cant believe greed and short term benefits now override patriotism and loving your country. It's a shame people hate this country so much and could care less about it, by hiring this hate mongerer.

Whatever happened to America standing together?

I guess its loss to short term gains and the misdirecting of the ignorant.

Congratulations Newsweek for becoming the National Enquirer.

The Democrats will promise you anything to get you to vote for them. Reality is that most of their plans and schemes will fail. The Democrats remind me of a love sick teenager, not thinking clearly, and doing all the wrong things. The bickering and the competition amongst themselves proves they are unable to do a job that calls for strong leadership. Not focusing on what they are able to do, with the experiance they supposedly have, or telling us of the specific successes of their past, is a sure sign they don''t have any at all, which is what a leader should do. On the job training is not in the job description of a USA President, EVER.

So Newsweek decided to hire the neo-con who committed treason by outing undercover CIA agent Valeri Plame and in his very first article he bashes Hillary Clinton. Wow, how unexpected!
No mention of Bush's illegal war, nothing about the administration failure to capture or kill Osama.. Just Hillary. Hope you're not paying him much because I can imagine subscribers are dropping like flies. If there is any justice in this world, Hillary will become president and Republicans can feel like Democrats did on November 12, 2004.

I wonder how fox news will wave the flag once Hillary wins?
Republican deserve everything they are getting....one exception...McCain, he's the real deal.

There are some seriously deranged people posting here. Don't like Karl Rove? Tough ***. He beat your spineless asses before, and now you want to whine. Bill Clinton was Josef Stalin reinvented, American-style; one has only to look at the total destruction he wrought on his own military to prove that. And---in a final touch that topped "Uncle Joe"---he left a totally destroyed military and an incendiary situation in the Middle East that was GUARANTEED to be an uncontrollable mess for the next president. God himself could have taken the office of President, it wouldn't have mattered. 9/11 was already happening before Bush got anywhere NEAR the White House, so all you conspiracy theorists, quit smoking that weed already.

The Demcraps proved with the last series of elections that they will do ANYTHING to steal the seat of power in this country, without having done anything to earn it. THEY are the nasty slimy ones, the REAL criminals in this country. Now, I don't particularly care one way or the other about Bush; quite frankly he's a shining example of what political inbreeding has done to this country. But he could be stoned AND drunk completely out his mind, and only have half his brain cells working to boot, and he'd STILL be light-years better than that walking abortion Al Gore. (Tennessee might redeem itself if it elects Fred Thompson to the White House.)

You all need to just go to Canada; maybe they'll appreciate your brand of sniveling and cowardice there. But you are NOT Americans, and you can all ***.

Democrats love homosexuals and presidents that cheat on their wives in the white house, that's just not me, need I say more???????

It's a blast to watch a people like KarlRoves3rdChin go off, shrill and absolutely unhinged...as usual. Does nothing but help us conservatives in the long run, as people are seeing just how hateful liberals like him/her - and the Democrat party they dominate - have become. Keep it up!

The job of U.S. President is really a tough one demanding lot of mental and physical strength and stamina. The person holding the job must have super human qualities in every respect. The world peace and prosperity depends up to a great deal on the moves made by United States of America.
At the world stage rivals of Mrs. Clinton are more or less new comers and unknown. It is very difficult to predict whether the first four years in the office they will spend learning the ???Job??? or discharging their duties in the manner expected of a US President.
Mrs. Clinton has a few advantages over her rivals. She is well educated, may have learnt a lot and acquired good experience from the success and failure of her husband Mr. William Jefferson Clinton during his presidency and above all will have his continued back room invaluable support from him during her own tenure.
There is no doubt that Bill Clinton is a very intelligent, hard working, well educated person and above all a practical and good diplomat. He is a well liked person all over the world and is a well traveled person.
The husband and wife duo will be most suitable occupants of White House and with their background will bring more peace and prosperity to the people of America

"So totally destroy that just one year later that that army fought 2 wars in 12 months? We did win the wars by the way. " And which wars would those be? The one in Somalia that Billy Bubba carefully constructed into a loss for us, at the cost of our best soldiers? Or the one he conveniently started with a few cruise missiles over Bosnia, on the eve of his impeachment proceedings?

It's "totally destroyed", by the way. Quit smoking crack. It's not good for your spelling abilities.

You're delusional. Do us all a favor and get the hell off the internet.

"Bush has compounded the problem by launching a war in Iraq that was completely misguided that has destabilized the region (before completing the task in Afghanistan and bringing Osama to justice) further. Just because those of us who are thinking patriots and don't blindly goose step when some rich elite oilman and his cronies want us too, doesn't make us any less American. Judging by your post, you would have done well carrying a torch in Nuremberg back in 1933--same mentality of blindly following along and questioning the patriotism of those who dare to speak their mind."

Two words: *** you. And that ***-juggling thundercunt you call a mother.

I am a patriot. I've already fought for this country; invested a considerable amount of time in it's defense. And I'm ashamed that I ever defended morons like the ones posting on this page. The Hitler charge is the same exhausted accusation that all liberals use when confronted with the outrageous fallacy of their actions; conservatives are all brownshirts and us poor put-upon liberals are just trying to help remedy tyranny. Of course, the liberals would know what tyranny is; it's the only way they know how to lead anybody.
Disagree with them, and YOU'RE the one that takes the long walk down the basement steps to the bottom landing. Liberals never have to face the people they hurt...pretty much like Beria and the KGB that came after him.

"Rich elite oilman"? This is worn out too. If Bush was really some kind of oil-based dictator, he certainly wouldn't hide it. We'd all be driving SUVs and paying a nickel a gallon. Liberals just can't make up their damn minds: Either Bush is the worst dictator that ever lived---worse than Idi Amin or Hitler---or he's the biggest moron that ever walked. You can't have it both ways; make up your mind.

The war was never misguided. But you are. Quite frankly, me and my fellow soldiers have had it with you, putting a knife in our backs the way you do. Next time the terrorists come calling, we'll give 'em your address and then you can tell them all about how you've got nothing worth fighting for. As for me and mine....we'll be off doing something we actually enjoy. Like fishing. Or maybe actually staying home with our wives (or husbands, as the case may be) and our kids. Helluva lot more enjoyable than mucking about in a sandbox for a pack of TOTAL *** INGRATES LIKE YOU.

The Dems and Reps spend too much time just beating each other up. I'm tired of all the hatefulness that comes from both parties. I personally don't see any of the current hopefuls as the best choice. Oh, if only Colin Powell would get into the race!!!
