“All he needs is a bucket of water and Hillary within throwing range.”

That, or a stake or silver bullets.

Maybe short term your thinking may be right. But if you are suggesting the clintons would screw up this country only short term you are mistaken. I don’t want to leave to my children a country, totally indefensible. You know since the beginning of lovable bill’s term in office they cut defense spending and we know what eventually happened. There are other ways to hassle moderates. Not give the election to the bolshevics.

I may be overly optimistic, but I’d like to think the “peace dividend” following the Cold War skewed our thinking into allowing Bill to cut our intelligence and military. Now that we’ve seen the folly of that, I don’t think Hillary would be successful in wrecking the military like Bill did.

The effect on our culture, and on our welfare spending will be horrible if McCain is POTUS and the Republicans in Congress use ‘party unity’ as an excuse to allow Amnesty through. Legalizing 30 million aliens would give them access to all the welfare programs designed for the poor, more than doubling the cost of those programs since most of the jobs they are doing would qualify them as “poor”. What happens when welfare spending goes from $400B/yr to $800B/yr ? Are you ready to see your taxes go up by 1/3rd ? McCain can do PERMANENT damage with Amnesty. That is worse *longterm* than anything Hillary could actually GET THROUGH Congress.

I can’t believe our choices have come down to choosing amongst three liberals, but McCain is the only one that essentially creates a liberal supermajority in Congress even if half of them have ‘R’ after their names. At least the ‘R’s will FIGHT the liberal POTUS if its a Dem.

You think Hillary will have trouble get her ideas through congress? She won’t have any problems. Bill’s first term he had no trouble in his first two years. I don’t see the republicans strong enough to get congress back. As for the idea that after the cold war congress felt that defense could be cut drastically, this congress still wants to cut it. Check out what pelosi and reid are doing. No, unless you can prove to me that our future leaders won’t have a jimmy carter problem. Voting for her is not the answer. Seems like you are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

"wouldn't dare to swing to Hillary"

I don't like to see that kind of language that implies threats. I expect to see a lot more of it, when Joe Camel's bubble bursts. Being rats, I wonder how many super delegates will soil themselves with fear of the "community"and vote for the oppressed partially black man?

I heard if the shedevil becomes president/queen that we should all stock up on water, silver bullets, garlic, and wooden stakes.

Bill is a good politician, and used to know how to run campaigns. They started out with more money than anyone else. Also, Bill’s ‘92 campaign was all about the “war room” and making tactical changes as things happened in the campaign. It’s so hard to believe Hillary’s campaign seems unable to make changes as events happened.

She's not letting Bill, or Bill's people, run it. Hillary is running a "feminist" campaign, her way, with her people. Her ego will not permit her to acknowledge that she's not competent to run a campaign.

A Hillary presidency would be interesting to watch as she puts all her bull-dyke friends into all key positions in government

If it comes down to Hillary vs. McCain in the general, then it will be an easy choice for conservatives — Hillary. If it comes down to Obama vs. McCain, some conservatives might be tempted to vote for McCain. So we need to stop Obama now.

Do you hate McCain more than you love your country? I ask that because clearly Hillary will be an awful President - she'll do like her hubby did: take the military apart, give away secrets to China, ignore terrorists, raise taxes, try to take our guns, cooperate with the UN as much as possible, name the most leftist judges and Justices possible, etc. Do you think that subjecting this country to that treatment will be a good thing?

Believe me, I don't like John McCain either - not one bit. I'll be going into the voting booth with a gas mask on. But I don't suffer from MDS enough to want Hillary to be POTUS.

It isn’t a matter of ‘hating’ McCain. See my post #23.

Hillary and McCain will propose the SAME liberal agenda, the only difference is that Congress will FIGHT that liberal agenda if it comes from Hillary.

HA..Ha..ha.... "This was supposed to be over on February 5th. The DNC designed this whole front-loaded primary system so Hillary could clinch on Super-Duper Tuesday.

They did not expect to have to campaign in Ohio and Texas"

Hoist by their own Petard.

Shardenfreude.
