Why I Think Hillary Will Win (Dick Armey Gives a Major Wake Up Call to the GOP)

[Hillary4Penetentiary]

I think we need to stop convincing ourselves Hillary can't win. Unfortunately she can. I'm not quite so pessmistic as Armey, but she has a real shot in a political environment that is awful for the GOP right now. Polls that show 50% won't vote for her don't hold up when she's matched against the GOP candidates, against whom she either beats or in one case only basically ties or slightly loses. We need to stop the squabbling amongst ourselves, the tired "RINO" labelling, and threats of third party candidates or not voting and unite, or we're going to be looking down the barrel of far left wing extremism having total hold on the government. Sometimes it's better to take a plate of 75% of what you want, than a buffet of bulls--t like we'll get from the Clintons.

I know, some of you will call Armey a RINO, he's not, but he is the last fiscal conservative we've had in a position of governing power in the GOP. He is worth listening to and not easily dismissed.

[in hoc signo vinces]

She has to win to usher in the Apocalyse where all liberals will be cleansed from the Earth once and for all...

[Sacajaweau]

She cries and lies...all in one breath.

[colorado tanker]

I’ve never said Hillary can’t win. It doesn’t take any inside intelligence to know she’s favored and she’s one tough candidate.

[cripplecreek]

I’m not going to live in fear of terrorists so living in fear of Hillary would be foolish.

[Hillary4Penetentiary]

It’s not about living in fear, it’s about recognizing reality and taking necessary precautions. I don’t think it’s an act of fear to lock your doors at night. It’s an act of sensible prudence. The same is true of not underestimating this woman’s abilities and chances, and what’s more not sitting out the vote next year if you don’t get a candidate who doesn’t think 100% like you do.

[cajungirl]

I agree. Anyone who thinnks Hill cannot win has his head in the ether or the sand.

[Graybeard58]

Our country survived 12 years of the likes of Clinton and Carter and it makes me sick to my stomach to think of 4-8 years of another Clinton. The country would survive it but I don’t know if I would.

That being said, I have serious doubts that I could ever vote for Rudy, Mitt or Paul, Paul doesn’t have a chance but the two top guys Rudy and Mitt are unacceptable for me.

All my voting life I have been voting for the “lesser of two evils” with the exception of Reagan, whom I genuinely liked. Sadly there’s no Regan on the scene now.

[cripplecreek]

Scare tactics won’t work on me.

[Tax-chick]

Dick Armey is understandably miffed at the lack of support from the GOP during his financial fiasco. I’m sure part of the problem was that people don’t like him very much ...

Welcome to FR. You spelled “penitentiary” wrong.

[jwalsh07]

Hillary is easier to beat than Obama or Edwards despite Dick Armey’s problems beating her, an unelected nobody with average intelligence, in policy debates during the Clinton years. JMHO of course.

[princess leah]

But if she wins, I’m selling off things that she could “take away from me for the common good” and go live in low-rent housing (or become a missionary to a small island somewhere).

[Doogle]

..the real battle starts in January.

[Romneyfor President2008]

Hitlery can beat any of our candidates right now. But we’re not united yet. Once we unite under one candidate we can face Hitlery.

[Graybeard58]

not sitting out the vote next year if you don’t get a candidate who doesn’t think 100% like you do.

Settling for a candidate that is damn near as liberal as Hillary is not acceptable to me either.

I'm talking about the gun grabbing baby killing, homo marriage promoter Rudy.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Uh Dick,The beast is not slick willy.She does not hold a candle to him.Sooner or later she will have to debate one on one with our Republican nominee and she will get slaughtered.

[Signalman]

Wait until the Presidential debates next year. Either Rudy or Mitt will run rings around Hildy. I guarantee it. The ONLY way she could come out looking good in a debate against Rudy or Mitt (or Fred for that matter), is if she is intentionally nothing but soft-ball questions.

[Graybeard58]

I hope you give me a pass on the word “cemetery” sometimes I spell it right and sometimes I don’t (cemetary). Guess it depends on my mood.

[Signalman]

“is if she is intentionally ASKED softball questions”.

[Tax-chick]

I put two r’s in girrafe half the time.
