Interesting story. I believe i’ve seen all three types right here on FR. Always some convoluted excuse to vote like and for a dem. Have you written the story of the Obama-cons yet? That’s a whole other story even more convoluted than the Hillary-cons. I cast my vote in the Texas primaries yesterday, the last day of early voting, and DID NOT vote for either of those two lib/socialists. Trying to pick candidates i felt would do less harm to Texas and America was tough but i felt pretty good about it.
Isn't this a bit like writing to Santa Claus?
If they support Hillary they are not conservatives.
Premature retreat from Iraq
Evidence of US weakness
Expanded Iranian influence
Iranian nuclear weapons
Possible attack on Israel
Costly attacks on US assets
Possible contamination of US cities
Involvement in Darfur and elsewhere
Interventions without vital national interests
Effective and real increases in taxes
Continued slump in public education
Unrealistic and costly energy mandates
Increased spending on global warming
Universal healthcare incl. 33m illegals
Undercutting drug patents and other companies
Less pharmaceuticals brought to market
Windfall profit taxes and other disincentives
Price controls and resultant key shortages
Trial lawyer suits/shakedowns destroy firms
Job losses from antibusiness legislation/suits
State gay marriage laws extended nationwide

Increased surveillance/audits of GOP opponents
Corrupt campaign and fundraising practices
Sale of pardons to Friends of Hillary (or Obama)
Criminal prosecution of terrorists, esp. domestic
Catch & release treatment of illegals restored
Elevation by press to untouchable status
Muffled criticism of government initiatives
Increased voter fraud by scuttling ID programs
.
If this sounds farfetched, consider the counterterror policies of the last Clinton regime. Barely a month after Bill Clinton took office in January 1993, Muslim jihadists detonated a bomb beneath the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring thousands. The Clintons responded by declaring war on "domestic terrorists".

1. I think you’re giving Hillary too much credit. I don’t think she’ll win the nomination - even the Dems (some) are sick of her. From what I’m hearing she’s going to drop out Wed if Texas doesn’t go her way. If she drops out now and we win in Nov. she’ll be the presumptive nominee in 2012. If we want to take her out once and for all she needs to get the nomination this year otherwise she’ll be back.
2. Obama will make a worse President than Hillary. They believe the same things, but Obama has the charisma to get it passed through Congress.
I agree with Poe on much of his argument except his main theme. Under no circumstances is Clinton in the position she finds herself on purpose. She's where she is because she underestimated this guy from Chicago and the machine that's backing him. Obama has raised a phenomenal amount of money. When the February numbers come out his total is going to be somewhere North of $185 million.Nothing would please me more than to be wrong about Hillary and her rope-a-dope strategy. Indeed, I pray that I am wrong.
What bothers me, though, is that the Obama "machine" to which you refer does not appear to be independent of Hillary's machine. Both candidates draw support from the "shadow party" of non-profit front groups created and led by George Soros.
Of course, it is possible that Soros betrayed Hillary and threw her overboard in favor of Obama, at some point. Maybe. But that seems a slender reed on which to hang one's hopes.
It seems more likely that the "shadow party" is enacting some sort of elaborate charade. And that worries me very much.
I’m the fourth kind.
I’ll probably vote for Hillary, as McCain already has it, and I’d like to see Hillary have to spend every nickle that her machine has raised on her hideous campaign, just to be sure that she can’t steal the unspent amount, and hide it in Switzerland.
And the Cheshire Cat has a few more months as President..
The Mole Rats are following Oprahs piping and the White Rabbit is late for a very important date..
What the hell is America SMOKING..
I’m certainly not writing hillary off until the fat lady sings. But I wouldn’t underestimate Obama either.
As for our duty to vote, we have been put into an impossible position. Hillary is a menace. Obama is a menace. And McCain is a menace.
All in different ways, but all extremely serious. McCain is a little better than the other two, but the problem is that if he wins it will destroy the party and the conservative movement, and he will be in a stronger position to pass malign legislation than a Democrat would be.
There are no easy answers here. The Republican Party is on course to commit suicide no matter which of the three wins, and perhaps to bring the country down with it, given the illegal amnesty problem and the Islamic problem and the Chinese and Russian problems, not to speak of a looming world-wide economic catastrophe on the horizon.
Our country has its back against the wall, and we have been given three impossible choices.
She hides her diabolic end-game strategies as well as she conceals her uber-Marxism.
Those among us who would vote against (ugh) McCain in order to settle a score with the RNC or the primary voters will regret their shortsightedness as the jackboot of a Hillary regime kicks apart the foundations of our Republic and our way of life.
Excellent and thanks for the ping.
I do not believe that McCain will arrest conservative activists. The Democrats will.
As long as conservatives are free to organize at the grassroots level, there is hope. We don't need a conservative president. We just need a president who will leave us free to organize.
The Minutemen exist because Bush tolerated their existence. The Democrats will not tolerate such groups. They will prosecute conservative activists and throw many of our leaders in jail.
"It seems more likely that the "shadow party" is enacting some sort of elaborate charade. And that worries me very much."Your article is so accurate, thank you for sharing it with us.
Yes, I would like to be on your ping list.
