Worrying About Hillary (Dems are worried)

WASHINGTON -- Many of the Democratic congressmen who ousted Republicans in marginal House districts last year privately express concern about the impact on their re-election prospects if Hillary Clinton is nominated for president.

Because of the strong possibility that Sen. Clinton indeed will be the party's candidate, these congressmen will not openly express their fears. But they dread her impact from the top of the ticket.

Clinton's opponents don't raise the question in public. But there is such underground talk in Iowa, the state opening the battle for convention delegates, questioning her "electability."

Even some RATS are beginning to realize hillary will drag them down in flames. Hopefully, she’ll still manage to get the nomination before she totally self-destructs from her own criminality. She could be as big a setback to the RATS as watergate was to us.

Hey bring it on. Hillary thinks it’s her divine right to be President. Would love to see the Clintons get their comeuppance.

If HRC gets the nomination expect every dirty trick you ever heard of to elect her.

How long is she going to be able to keep the facts of Vince Foster killing under the rug?

A HRC nomination will breathe new life into the Republican party. May be the only possible way a Republican can win.

The Clintoons have an extensive list of “room temperature” associates. Foster is but one of them. Pray that there are people with gonads and fortitude to expose the varied corruption behind the Clintoons before the election.

They are completely drive-by media-created-and-supported organisms. Without the media covering for them, they’d be toast.

The Clintons have complete faith that those who are dead will vote for Hillary.

Hillary will promise alot of things if she wins the nomination, and she could win the presidency on that tactic alone...

No Way.....nancy piglosi....stated the congress will be the most honest and ethical in history and of course the new standard bearer of the lib/dem party (the piaps) will do anything and everything to ensure that piglosi’s words are accurate...just ask the fugitive lib/dem fund raiser currently sitting in jail....

At the last Democrat debate it seemed the other candidates were listening closely as Clinton spoke, and were very careful about picking their words when speaking about her. Anyone nervous about being beat by a girl?

Straight-ticket voting against Hillary ought to sweep most of the Dem House members from Texas out of office. As Martha says, “It’s a good thing.”

They ought to be worried... And they should have considered this scenario before they became the RATS that they are or decided to run in those vulnerable districts. Last year’s election was far from the “movement” the media claimed — it was a media-driven switch in a few states and districts, certainly not a call for a Dem agenda. Payback time lies ahead.

So true but then the entire democrat party would be toast if the media didn't cover for them

But I don't expect that to change --they love Hillary

And the phantoms (non-existent people registered to vote) will vote dim. And the people who go from one dim-controlled precinct to another all day in a bus to vote multiple times. And the illegal aliens who are recruited to register to vote. Vote fraud usually runs 3-5% nationally. I expect it may hit 10% if HRC runs. Oh yeah, I forgot the dim precinct in Texas that in 1996 had 110% turnout, but no voters appeared to actually show up. The signatures on the Voter Roll were all in the same handwriting. Apparently the Election Judge and Clerks just cast a ballot for everyone in the precinct; that’s a lot cheaper than chicken dinners and a van to get-out-the-vote. If all else fails, local dim officials can count the actual ballots any way they like, as in Florida in 2000.
