HIDE!

EL PASO, Texas - Trying to overcome a string of losses and a staff shake-up, Hillary Rodham Clinton sought new energy Tuesday night from a boisterous crowd of about 12,000 in a state she hopes will provide a rebound in her quest for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Clinton, whose rallies had been overshadowed by rival Barack Obama's huge crowds, arrived at the packed University of Texas at El Paso basketball arena as voters were giving Obama victories in Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.
But her sights were set on the March 4 Texas and Ohio primaries and on President Bush.
"I'm tested, I'm ready, let's make it happen," she yelled to cheering supporters.
She slipped into a "you all" and criticized Bush, the former Texas governor.
"There's a great saying in Texas," she said, "all hat and no cattle. Well after seven years of George Bush, we need a lot less hat and lot more cattle."

I heard part of her rant in El Paso (on TV, fortunately I was 1,000 miles away from the Shrildebeast). It was truly pathetic, but she does rant like a true Shrillary.
HIDE!
Shrillary had to be in Texas as her mounting losses were announced because she is desperate to try to change the subject away from her collapsing campaign..... it is fun to watch the implosion of the once ‘inevitable’ nominee for the Demagogues, although I certainly do not look forward to the choices remaining to voters in ‘08.
not gonna happen. Barry will win Hawaii and Wisconsin, and shillary will have to live with for the next 4 weeks with “loser” painted on her forehead. By the time Texas gets here, it’ll be all over.
not sure I’ll be celebrating though, is obama really any better?
Don't worry. The "superdelegates" will save her. The Democrats won't send the black guy to the back of the bus, they'll just throw him under it.

No, Obama Hussein is definitely not better, but I do want to see the CLintonista machine booted into obscurity. Obama Hussein is if anything even more of a doctrinaire socialist, whereas Shrillary at least pretends to be more open to reason (but only when she wants to fool the voters). Obama Hussein has only gotten this far because he campaigns with vague platitudes and no one really demands any content. If/when the public knows what a diehard socialist he really is he should not be able to command anything close to a majority, except of course that the Rs are in such pathetic condition that who knows??? Ronald Reagan could win his biggest landslide ever against either Obama Hussein or Shrillary, but of course we do not have that option!!!
Did you hear her shrill screeching?
And yet...
Somehow, I still cannot help but take pleasure in Hillary's travails. She obviously feels that she is entitled to the nomination--and even to the presidency itself. So despite my very deep reservations about Obama (to put it as kindly as possible), I am so happy to see Hillary getting her comeuppance!
And when it happens, that is going to be SOME SHOW. Grab the popcorn!
When Democrats go for “change” they usually nominate someone [relatively] young and/or unknown - JFK, Carter, Bill Clinton, Obama...
When Republicans nominate, they usually go for the “old” - Ford, Bush, Dole, McCain...
“Sad and pathetic”...
When we’re stuck with Obama the partying will stop. McCain could beat Hillary. He won’t stand a chance with this Obama momentum. They’ll squash him like a bug with this ridiculous rhetoric, but it won’t really matter. He’s so far left that even born alive babies aren’t safe and America is cheering.
And we’re shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic.
The Democrats believe in the voice of the common man, unless of course, the common man contradicts the wishes of THE PARTY.
Yes I do worry as well that Obama Hussein could prove a more formidable candidate because of Shrillary’s negatives — but I do so want the Clintonistas to be sent packing, and I do think that Obama could be defeated, if not in ‘08 then ‘12 — but I’m sure not looking forward to what such a leftist could do in the WH. Both Shrillary and Obama are hard-core socialists posing as more moderate for electoral purposes only. I’m not sure that Obama would be any more likely to be able to ram through a lot of policy than Shrillary though.
This was held at a local, let us just say, very, very rich guy’s house. Several times AF1 came to the Valley for receptions at his home.
Anyway, it didnt’t and isn't’t sitting very well with the Dem’s down here.
Looks like Upland.
Well I don’t trust my political prognostication skills at all but is it so sure that Obama Hussein’s myriad weaknesses and far-left politics will not weaken his candidacy? I know that the MSM will try like crazy to protect and promote him, but what little record he does have is one of the most liberal/left US Senator and a promoter of many ideas/causes well out of the US mainstream. If he can’t be stopped then the R. party (and Senator McVain) must be more pathetic than I’d feared.....
I saw Hillary in El Paso on the local (San Antonio) news tonight. The venue looked packed, and those gathered were very enthusiastic. Apparently decades ago, Hillary personally helped to register voters there, and the children of those voters are now old enough to vote, too.
I saw that Cesar Chavez, Jr, and Robert Kennedy, Jr are supporting her. Lulac is endorsing her, so Texas should be pretty interesting.
I know this isn't the race charged 60's or 70's but I have to wonder what Obama's more radical backers would do if he wins a majority of the votes but then loses because of some back-door deal that the Clinton's orchestrate?
Will they take it to the streets or take it lying down?
LOL!! Shrillary LOVES cattle futures!
I have speculated that she raised the $5 million she personally put into her campaign with her own cattle futures fund, applying those historically unprecedented skills she revealed so long ago......
Also, Obama, if elected President, would be a lot easier to "manhandle" by his fellow Senators and probably the House, too... he wants to be loved but doesn't yet know or have the machine to be feared. JFK accomplished almost nothing during his presidency (even with LBJ's strongarming capability), and was not all that popular going into 1964 election cycle... His popularity is due to Camelot myth created after his death.
Can GOP voters cross over and vote for Obambi? That would be better than voting McRino.
She is obsessed with blaming Bush. In his home state no less. I know some people eat it up, but it is getting mighty stale. Obama has done some of it but not like she has. No wonder people like his positive, upbeat style better.
Think about people in your own life who keep blaming somebody or something else for everything. Are you drawn to them? I want to get away from them and their negativity because it brings me down.
“not sure I’ll be celebrating though, is obama really any better?”
I don’t think so.
I know what makes Hildabeast tick.
I trust here far more on war on terror stuff.
Not as much as McCain of course.
Obama? The guy gives me the chills. Like a cult leader.

His weakness, his inexperience, his bizarre church, his flippant Margaret-Sanger attitude to babies born alive, his world tax proposal, his bailing probably not from Iraq but from Afghanistan too, his statement to bomb Pakistan even if their government objects, his never having held a real job, etc.
None of it means jack squat to his followers because they’re all listening to Oprah, and all the other “stars” who are lending their voices to Obama.
As someone said, it’s “American Idol” for the presidency by mindless lemmings who haven’t the slightest notion what issues we face or what it takes to address them. It’s all about enjoying the Obama girl video and being part of a “movement”.
And no, as some have suggested, this won’t spark a conservative revolution because none got any support in this election, beyond about 3%. It will just set a new low for the conservative bar because McCain will be considered “far right”.
And we all know better than that, and compared to Obama, he probably looks that way.
I don’t know about Ohio but Hillary will probably lose Texas and that will seal it. None of the dirt on Obama is going to stop the celebrity PR machine.
We’re about to get our worst nightmare. I am not cheering at all.
apparently in Texas you affiliate with a party for the current year simply at the time of voting in that party’s primary (according to info at a link posted above), so yes, it does appear that a lot of conservatives could decide to muck things up for Shrillary by voting in the ‘Rat primary, but only if they can really bear to mark a ballot for Obama Hussein......
Agreed. Who'd want to see Serpenthead and the Forehead in positions of power again?
Now I'm going to go shower and try to wash away the memory of everything I just posted.
I couldn't do it.
Yes but, unfortunately, GOP did them one better and offered up John McCain.
I'm going to do that in Ohio. Of course I'll have to register temporarily as a dem.
Rancho Cucamonga. A few days ago, I was heading west on Foothill, just west of Haven. Traffic was backed up, so I made a right turn and would head home on Baseline. When I saw the sign, I remembered that I had my camera. I got the shot and knew it would come in handy.
Besides Joe Lieberman, I can’t think of a qualified democrat. Maybe Evan Bayh. He is a “reasonable” democrat. Other than that all of the dem candidates are anti-American a$$clowns.
There may be 4: Bayh, Ben Nelson, Zell Miller, & Sam Nunn, plus Lloyd Bentsen’s and Scoop Jackson’s ghosts.
—”.... but I do want to see the CLintonista machine booted into obscurity.”—
And that, is worth the price of admission right there.
As a side bonus, the RINOs get a shellacking as well.
—”.... he should not be able to command anything close to a majority”—
Agreed. I’m confident we can hold him at bay.
Good Luck!
Texas is Norte Mexico.
You may find just how much sway you guys have on the election. It will prove to be an interesting election after all and I sure wouldn’t want to be viewed as one of those who crosses party lines just because I don’t get my way. The guy many of you here seem to support really never existed and if he did, would be unelectable anyway.
Some seems to be shooting themselves in the foot.
Zell Miller
Hillary has an annoying (to me) habit of saying’ in the beginning of all her replies:
Ya know I....
