That's the "Vagina Vote" ...

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton is already the frontrunner for her party's presidential nomination in 2008.
But to win the general election, she'll have to overcome opposition from a significant number of voters who absolutely can't stand her.
Survey after survey shows that approximately one-third of New Yorkers has a negative opinion of Clinton, the New York Times said Saturday.
"The voters who disapprove of Clinton are numerous and unshakable, and they have been around so long that they have a name in political circles. Hillary haters."
The former first lady's negative image is largely driven by the perception that she traded on her husband's marital misconduct to gain power and influence in government.
While Mrs. Clinton has largely overcome that image with her constituents, outside of New York the percentage of Hillary haters remains problematically high.
In a recent Marist College Institute for Public Opinion survey, roughly 4 of 10 Americans said they disapprove of her.
"There's work for her to do nationally," Marist poll director Lee Miringoff told the Times. "Beyond her appeal to the Democratic base, there is a need for her to build bridges to reach out to moderate Republicans and independent voters if she hopes to succeed."
Mrs. Clinton, however, remains undeterred.
Asked recently whether her divisive image has Republicans hoping that she becomes the Democrats' next presidential nominee, the former first lady told NBC's "Today Show," "We have a president who is quite polarizing - and very successful, I might add."
She not only traded on his deplorable misconduct, she harassed, tormented, and tarred the women who he was fooling with.
She belongs NOWHERE near the presidency, or government in general. And, it would be nice if the WOMEN of America wake up to who this "woman" really is. I'm sure the old media will be helpful in shining light on the real 'Lady in Pink' over the next four years. (sarcasm off)
Clarence Page writing on Hillary Rodham Clinton.
She's got four years ahead of her to make herself a defense and intel hawk, sponser legislation banning late-term abortion, stand up for the rights of christians, pass laws to kick out illegal immigrants, impose tort reform, privatize social security, call for school choice, and kick gays in the crotch.
If co-starring in a revival of "Oh Calcutta!" was neccessary for her to be a beliveable candidate for president, she'd do it. Look for a major image remake, indeed, she's the only one with the juice to turn the Dems around.
David Letterman, CBS "Late Show" 6/30/99
The Clintons have buggered their base before ("Don't ask, Don't tell," Welfare Reform, NAFTA, etc.) and gotten away with it. Look for Hillary to do an encore. After all, who else will the Leftoids have to vote for in '08? Ralphie boy again? Nobody is more terrified of the Clintons and their deadly smear machine than their fellow democrats. Unless a relative unknown whom they don't have a thick file on steps up to the plate between now and then.
LOL. You're so right, she might even take to baking cookies. She's trouble if the people don't get to know her true nature. I've read about a dozen books on her, and I know what makes her tick.......... and it's not the well-being of this country's citizens!
She has been "networking" since back in the late 60's. She will have a network of people behind her that is incredibly huge.......... and BEHIND her is quite a large area.

* CNN anchor Bernard Shaw: "Now wait a minute now, this woman brings a lot of strength."
Newsday columnist Jimmy Breslin: "What strength?"
Shaw: "Don't you agree that she brings a lot of strength to what she is trying to do?"
Breslin: "No, I think that the strength comes from a lot of people on television or in newspapers that just write drivel." -- CNNs Inside Politics, July 8, 1999
"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that [Hillary Clinton]...is a congenital liar."-- William Safire
And, it would be nice if the WOMEN of America wake up to who this "woman" really is.
It amazes me how many "woman" like her just becaue of her gender and ignor her shady politics.
"Everyone is fed up with the creepy dynamics of this warped marriage. We have lost all hope of getting any shred of authenticity from either Bill or Hillary -- unless it's the authenticity of the deluded. They have chosen tactics over truth with such consistency that it's impossible to accept anything they say." -- New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.
One more for fun: "Hillary loves Bill. And Bill loves Bill. It gives them something in common." -- Dick Morris
"She is married to a fellow who believes that politics is all about turning enemies in to friends. Her attitude, friends say, is that enemies are enemies for life and should be consigned to the outer darkness, then vaporized." -- columnist Gloria Borger on Bill and Hillary Clinton.

"If Reganomics works at all, Whitewater could become the western hemisphere's mecca." - HRC in a 1981 letter to Jim McDougal, Bloodsport
Count me in........she sucks!!!
The great majority of them don't even know of her "shady" politics, thanks to the liberal/Dem/socialist/one world/old media. Example (these BOOS were removed from all the tapes and DVD's) --
"Senator Hillary Clinton's inner circle is furious at MIRAMAX king Harvey Weinstein after the former first lady suffered through a public relations nightmare during Saturday's AMERICA: A TRIBUTE TO HEROES concert in New York City.
Hillary Clinton was jeered and booed by thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden as she took to the stage -- unannounced -- to introduce a movie clip. VH1 cameras captured firemen and police heroes wildly booing Clinton, who attempted to raise her voice above the shouting crowd.
"Get off the stage! We don't want you here!" yelled one New York City police officer just feet from the senator. Anti-Clinton slurs spread and intensified throughout the Garden, with many standing near the stage lobbing profanities.
Event-planner and close Clinton friend Harvey Weinstein was visibly shaken as he heard the crowd erupt with boos and jeers, according to an eyewitness. The junior senator from New York ending up giving the shortest presentation of the evening, clocking in at under 20 seconds.
"How could we not know this would be the wrong forum for Hillary?!" shouted one confidante. "These are cops and firemen who listen to right-wing talkradio. They still think she killed Vince Foster, for Christ sake!"
*****
There are four years of work to do.
Utter pipe dream; we conservatives can only pray the demonrats will be this stupid to nominate her.
That said .... pray hard. I'd LOVE to see Hillary get nominated. Talk about all the wire haired harpies appearing on TV, shrilly bleating their support for her. Just think of all the young and impressionable young women who will look up to their model of ..... womanhood. Oh please pray hard!!!!
A New York stockbroker got stuck in some bad traffic on the way home the other day. He asked a cop on the beat, what was the holdup. Cop says, "it's Hillary in her motorcade. She stopped and is threatening to douse herself in gasoline and set herself on fire. She's depressed because Bill's running around on her more than ever, Bush upstaged her in Iraq, she's flipped out about Gore and Dean, and the Saddam capture put her over the edge. So we're taking up a collection for her."
The stockbroker asks the cop, "How much have you got so far? The cop replies, "About four and a half gallons, but a lot of folks are still siphoning."
She has been "networking" since back in the late 60's. She will have a network of people behind her that is incredibly huge.......... and BEHIND her is quite a large area.
I especially like R. Emmett Tyrell's anecdote about her keeping a rolodex full of political contacts even in high school...
He used the phrase "coat and tie radicals" and "grade grubbers" to describe the Clintons and their ilk. Even in their swingin' sixties youth they were careful never to join the sit-ins and riots so as to "maintain their viability within the system." There is only one photo of Bill from his Oxford interlude briefly sporting the hippy dippy look ('fro, beard, turtleneck, army jacket) for a year two abroad. Otherwise Hillary's blue jeans and granny glasses at Yale were as wild as either of them ever got.
Tyrell's Madame Hillary painted a very formidable picture of the War Machine she has constructed, the moolah she has already collected, and the chits she is piling up in the Senate. I very much doubt anyone knowledgeable can call her the "junior senator from New York" with a straight face.
The $64,000 question we have to be asking ourselves is could it be possible for her or anyone to actually run for president in this day and age without ever having to face an unscripted interview, non-neutered press conference or non-handpicked audience? No one thought she could win an NY senate seat that way, but the MSM went out of their way to lay their cloaks in the mud for her a la Sir Walter Raleigh and Queen Bess.
LOL.

"Bill and Hillary possess that rare blend of Grade 'A' Machiavellian caginess combined with the luck of a two-time Powerball winner" -- Dennis Miller
Everyone remember when the word was that Hillary didn't stand a chance in New York for the Senate? Senator Hillary has a plan, the people in place and the power.
I will not underestimate her.
Not to mention the outstanding number of shrinks who say she`s a bonafide sociopath. Only in New York would there be enough liberals to elect a bonafide psychotic into the Senate who would get her husband to pardon 17 FALN members who bombed their city 130 times (hey it was only 130 times) And all so she could buy a few votes..and she did it all before she was even elected or even lived in New York. What`s the definition of barging in and aiming for the morons?.. "Uh, so what if she puts our lives in danger. Duuuh..So what if she has absolutely no record other than promoting herself, I`m gonna vote for her! Duuuh!" I don`t know what`s worse; The people in Mass. voting for Ted Kennedy over and over and over and over for over 40 years or the idiots in Washington who voted for Marion Barry for a second term after he was caught smoking crack in a motel room with a hooker. Hey, after all, it was only crack. I hear OJ is climbing the walls out of lack of attention. I guess he never considered running for office in any one of those three states. Obviously he would win by a landslide.
That's the "Vagina Vote" ...
This should help you with your answer to that!

If Hillary Clinton's New York state Listening Tour had been any further scripted, it would have to have been registered with the Writers Guild.
She'll be given the love-in treatment that the snivelling pawn Tim Russert gave her about a year ago, as he sucked up to her and purred like a little frightened tub of conman goooo!
Right...... get this!

"She goes to state dinners with her lesbian friends,
Makes big investments with high dividends,
Forgets to pay taxes but then makes amends,
That's why the First Lady is a tramp."
-Don Imus
L.O.L......get ready Hillary...we've only just begun......
While I never count the Clinton's out, it is hard for me to believe that she could build any momentum under a primary system, especially one that starts in states like Iowa and NH. Then a swing through the South? My guess is that an Evan Bayh or similar Dem could trounce her.
You have"NAILED"it!If Shrillary gets any"TOUGH"questions from reporters,she will"LOSE IT" pretty damn quick!!She will bring up that"VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY"crap in a heartbeat!!!
Not at all. She is extremely capable .................. capable of the anti-American creations of a narcissistic 'castle communist'.

"As a lifelong active liberal Democrat, I find the choice between HRC & Mayor Giuliani not difficult,".... "In all our campaigns, we were trying to work for decent and intelligent government. Neither Clinton can give us that. It is not in their character; and their hands are too dirty." -- Bartle Bull, a lawyer and writer who served as Robert F. Kennedy's New York City campaign manager in 1968, wrote in an opinion piece published in the New York Post.
I would too!It would be DELICIOUS to see the Sh*t kicked out of her(politically,I mean)!!!
Is that Hanoi Jane? If so all those tucks and lifts have her looking like Connie Stevens. Yoi!
Wait until they ask the question - Knowing what you know now about Bill Clinton's sexual conduct in the White House, would you want him to be First Lady and have access to all those interns AGAIN?
I don't know. She hates to lose, and there is no one more well organized.
I see that 1969 LIFE magazine article as serious BIG and OLD MEDIA foreshadowing that she is to be the president. I pray that I am wrong. As I wrote earlier, I've read about a dozen books on her. She's very persistent and ruthless. I don't see the Democrat Party stopping her in the primary season in 2008.
Yes, remember this ....

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Matt Lauer ---
LAUER: Let me take you and your husband out of this for a second. Bill and Hillary Clinton aren't involved in this story. If an American president had an adulterous liaison in the White House and lied to cover it up, should the American people ask for his resignation?
HR CLINTON: Well, they should certainly be concerned about it.
LAUER: Should they ask for his resignation?
HR CLINTON: Well, I think that if all that were proven true, I think that would be a very serious offense.
Never really answered the question .......... as usual.
Absolutely right Cai....we must remain vigilant. Only 4 of 10 (according to this poll) disapprove. Call me blonde, but I don't think that's a majority. It will take all we have to defeat this viper in '08.
This is so true.
Unfortunately Congress is riddled with people that fit the above description. Many are deliberate "enemies" of this country, bent on Her destruction, and many are simply followers that are controlled by "feel good" policies and the overwhelming desire to be in positions of power, getting re-elected, and feeding at the public trough.
This is not simply a problem of our times, it has been going on throughout our history.
Like the Swiftee's and other watchdog groups, the word must be gotten out and restated over and over, until enough of us get the message.
As here, on Free Republic, we will have disagreements, but the fact remains that when all issues are put on the table the one that is paramount is the continuance of the United States as a country of power and influence, for good, throughout the world. All else is secondary.
But alas ... I ramble ;)
It is never a question of choice with Hillary. She knew everything that was going on. That was her business, and she did it well.
As Steve Croft of 60 'Too Many' Minutes said,
"Hillary is tougher and more disciplined than Bill is. And she's more analytical. Among his faults, he has a tendency not to think of the consequences of the things he says. I think she knows. She's got a a ten-second delay. If something comes to her mind she doesn't think will play right, she cuts it off before anyone knows she's thinking it."
Personally, I think Croft gives her too much credit here. She flips out when confronted, she cannot take the heat, but she never has to face heat. She is definately not "cool".
Let's let Laura Ingraham interview her for a couple of hours. LOL!
Can you imagine a woman who can't take the heat being president?
With all due respects, what, or whom Bill screws, or does not have sex with, is of little consequence to this country.
His being in a place of power does.
Please ......... ramble on!
;-)
Dont worry the media elites and all of Hollywood will be pouring an ocean of perfume on that pig...
But then again in politics all things are relative..and for sale
imo
-- Dennis Miller
Let's see...the last time Hillary and Bubba were together in the White House she threw ashtrays and broke lamos in her fits of temper.
As POTUS she would have better things on which to vent her anger...like the football.
"At a minimum Hillary was Bill's defender and sexual enabler. At maximum, she was actually a co-abuser of these exploited women she should have defended as her feminist sisters." -- The Hillary Blitz, By Lowell Ponte, | June 10, 2003
Let's see the last time Hillary and Bubba slept together was at R. Reagan's funeral service.

We have established that New York is a special case, furthermore she had the majesty and favor-bestowing power of the presidency behind her (and what better a way to say: "I'm sorry" than with the gift of a senate seat?). But a presidential candidate must endure a hectic schedule of appearances, to vast and varied audiences, and those all across the country, with numerous speeches delivered under all manner of conditions, some of them quite trying and exasperating and often while exhausted or cranky.
That screeching, grating voice makes for terrible microphone under the best of circumstances. Lord only knows what manner of choice cuts El Rushbo and friends could collect and play back for our edification and amusement over the course of a bruising campaign. She already has a long record of snubbing people, letting loose tirades and letting slip her smiley mask. Can you imagine the opportunities for a cock-up on camera even with everyone but Fox News and talk radio eager to carry her train? Hell, by '08 people will probably have digital video cameras mounted in their eyeglass frames.
Furthermore, Dave Horowitz and his crew have brilliantly tied all the Soros connections and organizations into his "Shadow Party" concept. This has just been luridly substantiated with that recently revealed memo wherin several of his "527" minions baldly state that they "own" the democrat party. If this is true then it will be dragged even more insanely to the Left. The Party of Abortion and Gay Marriage will have Drug Legalization, Euthanasia, World Government, Age of Consent Lowering and a whole raft of looney Amerikka-hating causes added to it's platform. The thought that the party might be controlled by this sinister-accented James Bond villain may or may not have played a role in this election. It most certainly will in '06 and '08. I think it's safe to say that Hillary knows that's a recipe for electoral self-immmolation. Whether she and Soros get along well now may be beside the point. Sooner or later they may have to wage battle royale for control. In addition, four years from now there may finally be a slate of primary contenders unafraid to take her and her lackeys on.
The rest of that Don Imus parody "The First Lady is a Tramp":
She always takes top, when she fornicates,
Gets really cranky, when she menstruates,
Prefers to stand up, when she urinates,
That's why the (former) first lady is a tramp!
She's sophisticated, and so very well read,
Doesn't go to the ballet, likes pro wrestling instead,
She made Vince Foster shoot himself in the head,
That's why the (former) first lady is a tramp!
I could go on, but.......
And considering the info that's continuing to come out about the Toons, it's an ever increasing significant number. The Toons, unlike fine wine, do NOT improve with age.
Hill's being characterized as one of the big winners of '04. Obama, too. I guess it's the RAT dream ticket.
Then they edited the booing out of the released CD. No media bias here....
