Michael Moore: Hillary a Star in 2008
NewsMax ^ | Dec 18, 2004 | Limbacher

Posted on 12/18/2004 9:49:53 AM PST by Tumbleweed_Connection

Conspiracy filmmaker-turned-political strategist Michael Moore is touting New York Sen. Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party's star presidential candidate in 2008, saying that women in America would turn out in droves to vote her back into the White House.

In quotes first reported by California's Santa Monica Mirror, Moore told Democrats gathered last week at a Pacific Palisades home, "Hillary is a star. She walks into a room and it lights up."

Story Continues Below

Saying his party needed to nominate "a candidate people want to watch," Moore contended that Clinton would be hugely popular with female voters, especially single-moms. "Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better," Moore predicted. "Don’t give them a candidate with a confusing message."

The single-mom vote is critical to the party's success in 2008, he said, because they make up a disproportionate percentage of the 70 million people who did not vote in 2004.

The conspiracy filmmaker does have one problem with a Clinton candidacy, however, complaining that she’s been hawkish on the war in Iraq.

Pollsters (probably Zogby-inspired) already show her beating Jeb, Frist, etc., by 10%, although 20% were still undecided. She will get the usual Dem base of 40%. These polls are way too early and too dependent on name recognition, in which case she beats everyone put together.

And after the last election and the great job the pollsters did, I wonder if we will ever be able to trust anything they say again.

"Hillary is a star"

Let me guess the constellation:
Cancer - the crab
Serpens - the snake
Taurus - the bull
Equuleus - the little horse - specifically the star in the horses rear.

Michael Moore kills every campaign he touches. The campaigns of both Wesley Clark and John Kerry were destined for the ash heap after MM endorsed them.

Hmmm! You don't suppose that every Michael Moore action is really an extraordinarily Machiavellian maneuver choreographed by Karl Rove?

Naah!

Hey larda$$, allow me to paraphrase Sojourner Truth:

That [fat] man over there say a woman [will vote for hillary]. Nobody [who knows me could imagine that i'd vote for hillary under any circumstances] And ain't I a woman?

saying that women in America would turn out in droves to vote her back into the White House.

Dems always seem to view all women as wishywashy radical left-wing feminists, who are easily swayed by other powerful women. But many of us women are either conservatively-minded or simply aren't so easily persuaded as they like to think. Plus, what kind of minority feminist upperhand will they have when Condi Rice runs against Hillary in '08?? Sure, I know the Dems are very much at ease with bashing strong conservative black women. The Dems came out of the Bush vs Kerry race looking like big a$$ hypocrites --trying to appeal to pro and anti-war people and industry and environmentalists all at the same time. I imagine they would expose even more ugly bigotted sides after a Condi vs Hillary race.

If Hillary is planning to hook her "star" to Moore .. she's already in outer space and unelectible.

"Poor, disenfranchised, single moms - they will come out to vote if they believe their life will be better,"

So what Mike's basically saying here is the campaign will hinge on whether or not these gals can be duped.

I think one way to deal with her candidacy is to create a 527 to deal with her in much the same way the Swiftvets dealt with Kerry. I've been watching presidential campaigns since about 1952, when I was 10 years old. To the best of my memory, the Swivtvets are the only operation in that time where a group of individuals and their spouses who were seriously injured by the candidate came out and directly testified against that candidate on national TV.

Hillary has left just about as many highly credible, deeply antagonized, people in her wake. Ones who immediately come to mine are Billy Dale, the persecuted WH Travel Office Director; the NY cops and their families who were injured by the Puerto Rican terrorists whose sentences were commuted by the Sink Emperor; and military people who were on the receiving end of incoming rounds that were paid for by "Oil for Food" money that was skimmed by Saddam with the invaluable help of the Clintons' buddy, Mark Rich. Rich's OFF activities mostly occurred AFTER he received the pardon, which at least implies that having the pardon was essential for him to engage in them.

Imagine how effective a series of ads, along the lines of the Swiftvets' template, with testimony by those people against Hillary, would be.

Hillary is not a star but a gas filled windbag.I hope the democrats do pick her to run for president because she will lose by a huge margin.Most Americans don't hate Bill Clinton but Hillary is seen as a cold and calculating bitch.I don't think the democrats and the tub of shat Moore could pick a candidate less liked by the American people if they tried.Run Hillary run all the way into history as the biggest election day loser in the history of the world.

The worst possible candidate is Hitlery and I can imagine no one more certain to finally destroy the Republic because she would have Billygoat along to carry it out. We had eight miserable years with those two commies but there are too many brain-dead voters out there who might vote for her. Hey, they actually voted in millions for that moron Kerry. Start now to catalogue and publish her real record. Stop Hitlery and deport Moore!

I thought lights exploded when she walked in to a room.

This is all part of their propaganda. They want you to believe Hillary walks on water which is the farthest thing from the truth. As far as I am concerned she is part of that establishment that made women believe they were getting a raw deal in marriage which started a trend in divorce.

This woman is not a star. She should be a jail bird. That is more appropriate.

Their life won't be better. That's just it. My bet is that it will be worse because they will enslaved by the government. If these people would only realize that being their own individual and making their own decisions is so much better.

So when Hill runs in '08 do we refer as a communist, socialist, Marxist or the idiot who wants to destroy a village?

I aver to your cautionary post, but this "woman" has negatives well above 50%. Plus the MSM is losing its influence because we have millions of pajama-clad fact checkers when the lies and propaganda are rolled by old Dan, et al.

We surely need to watch the properly named "brown shirts" and defeat them on the local level person by person in the next three years, so these troops will appear like the left wing kooks they are. This will make them largely ineffective during the general election in "08.

What do you think?

Well, it's after 4 pm. Time to visit Mr. Scotch and two fingers.
