MSM delcares '08 race over - Hillary to be sworn in in January, '09
Me | 1/20/08 | GeorgiaDawg32

Posted on 01/20/2008 7:21:15 AM PST by GeorgiaDawg32

Representatives from the MSM will have a news conference Monday evening to declare Hillary Rodham as the new president to be sworn into office in January, ’09.

Media spokespersons representing FOX, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC and C-SPAN explained their rationale for this historic declaration. “We feel actual voting is a disservice to our tried and true method of polling to determining the election in advance. In doing our polling of likely voters, our panel of independent experts, their donations to the DNC aside, have found that the people prefer Hillary. We did our polling across a broad range of Americans and Hyphenated-Americans with an emphasis on Detroit, Baltimore, Atlanta, South Central Los Angeles and several cities in Mexico. We discounted flyover country since everyone knows conservatives in those areas prefer hard work, little government control, and personal responsibility. Thus, they are out of touch with mainstream America. Further, Americans will no longer have to take Tuesdays off or leave work in order to vote. This will be a huge boost to the economy saving employers millions of dollars.”

Representatives have also done preliminary polling for the ’12 elections and have found, stunningly, Chelsea Clinton as the Democrat favorite. Said the pollster, “Yes, we know she won’t be old enough in ’12, but the Constitution is a living document subject to interpretation in a new age and time.”

I don’t know that the prospect of Cinton Inc returning to the WH is anything to joke about. These are ruthless people; perhaps killers.

Still don’t know why RON BROWN’S BODY has received so little attention. It’s a great book.

the joke isn’t about the clintons returning to the WH. the joke is that the media is appointing the next president through their coverage, IMHO.

I don’t mean to sound like a grouch, but maybe I’m becoming one. The prospect of the media successfully creating a McLame/Hitlery race is too depressing to think about.

I hate the MSM.

that’s the point I’m trying to make. The media is determining this with actual voters, in many cases, being swayed dependent upon polling results. IMHO, ALL polling should be stopped when something this important is happening and let PEOPLE, VOTERS make the decision.

Don’t see a lot of reason to bother voting in that contest.

Unfortunately, we ARE going to elect Hillary as President. Probably the worst possible candidate, but 50% of our population believes in revenge against “the white man” so you can count on many (not all) women, blacks, Hispanics voting for Hillary. It doesn’t matter that she is mean-spirited, a criminal, corrupt, abusive, a liar and has sold us out to China. The “tax the white man and gives us the money and free health care” coalition is greater than 50% of the population.

We are the NEW MEXICO!

Imagine Hillary stepping up to deal with Putin! After she continues Bill’s downsizing of the military to pay for social transfers (aka, payoffs).

My question is assuming a few Republicans are left in Congress what will be the best way to fight Hilary?
I think she will make the current Bush hatred seem like a wet dream.

................ You and many others, that’s why the Clintons know they’ll win. Remember, Clinton won in a 3 way race, had it been a 2 way race they’d both would still be in Arkansas. If Hillary wins, look for the 5th head on Mt Rushmore.

There’s always 3rd party or write in protest votes.

I have yet to vote for a successful candidate, I’m too old to start now!

“It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see...”

“You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?”

“No,” said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, “nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.”

“Odd,” said Arthur, “I thought you said it was a democracy.”

“I did,” said Ford. “It is.”

“So,” said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, “why don’t people get rid of the lizards?”

“It honestly doesn’t occur to them,” said Ford. “They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.”

“You mean they actually vote for the lizards?”

“Oh yes,” said Ford with a shrug, “of course.”

“But,” said Arthur, going for the big one again, “why?”

“Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,” said Ford, “the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?”

Life is going by too fast to wish another year were gone. Besides, they seem to think miraculously that everything will suddenly turn wonderful on that day. Ha ha.

Actually, it is probably closer to truth than fiction.

America has decided it wants socialism. Those voting in the republican primaries certainly seem to want it by their voting records. Marxists are already there. America wants free stuff. It wants to be like the Eurowinnies. It wants peace, low prices, cheep gas, cheep Chinese goods, short work weeks, socialized medicine. It wants to get the good life for free. So, they are voting socialism.

The media is just the medium; the problem is the media culture. A people raised from toddlerdom to get input from TV, starting with teletubbies and sesame street, and progressing to classroom TV and every broadcast/cable tv show, and then to TV news... we are programmed by the media, not to vote based on a debate on the issues, but for the soundbite or joke or putdown or appearance or... media push.

And the Sheeple keep grazing on whatever they dish up.

I agree the MSM have selected McLlame to lose to Hitlery Rotten Klinton in 08’

I CALL UPON ALL CONSERVATIVES TO UNITE. REFUSE TO FUND THE RNC AND RHINOS until they return to the ideals of Ronald Reagan, Kirk, the young Goldwater and Buckley.

What have the RINOS and the MSM done to my HEROS???!!

I agree with your analysis. While the media contributes to this attitude it is but one of the offenders. Kids learn it at public schools, churches preach the gospel of "free stuff", politicians lie about the consequences of "free stuff".

Americans have become soft and stupid--it is a nasty combination.

Sadly, you are exactly right. People here are talking about some conspiracy by the MSM to silence conservative candidates and that's a crock. Voters are more informed than they have ever been. The reason that conservative candidates are doing poorly is because people aren't supporting them! The country has long since moved left culturally and we are quickly moving left economically. The right doesn't currently have someone articulate and inspirational enough to change peoples' hearts and pull them back to conservatism as we did with Reagan.

There are threads here where people are talking about who Thompson should pick as his running mate. Get a grip!!! Thompson ain't going anywhere but down! By Tuesday he'll probably be out of the race. 2008 is a wash. It is the Democrats' to lose.

At this point we have two parties, liberal and more liberal and that is what the voters want.

“At this point we have two parties, liberal and more liberal and that is what the voters want.”

Or as John Derbyshire over at National Review likes to say “It a battle between the 60% statists and the 80% statists”. In other words big government is what the people want and its left to the two parties how much they are willing to give it to them.

As has been point out here many times, where is the Republican Party in all of this? I am not very optimistic about next November.
In 1976 we had Carter, but he was a buffoon; Hillary is not.
Hillary is better organized and has a far more ruthless group of people behind her. I am normally quite optimistic about conservatives winning elections but I fear 8 years of another Clinton.

Your right. I thought about this a little while ago, and this is what I thought: What the Soviets could not do in 50 years of the cold war, AMERICANS are doing in one short election cycle at the ballot box. Turn America socialist and communist. Damned sad. Rome burned and fell. America is burning and will fall.
