Okay, “like” may be too strong a word, but in the hollow socialist panderfest that is the Democrat primary, I can’t help but pull for Hillary. It’s easy to pull for her really, she’s behind in the polls (perhaps insurmountably), she’s been given a raw deal by her former allies in the Trotskyite press, and of course there’s all those schadenfreudistic impulses like watching Bill Clinton systematically dismember the last vestiges of his political legacy, watching the bloodbath caused by the autocannibalistic Hydra that is the inter-party interest group battle, or watching the Democrats throwing away boatloads of valuable campaign cash on their ludicrous and comically protracted proportional representation primary.
But on the other hand, despite her crocodile tears and her increasingly frayed appearance, Hillary Clinton has managed to hang in there tenaciously, and relatively speaking, seems to be the one imbued with a modicum of gravitas, geostrategic realism, and policy sense. Which isn’t to say that she isn’t an endlessly calculating leftist panderer, she is, but next to Obama she seems like the stronger option, and each day when I turn on my TV and see him fixing to play paddy-cake with Ahmadinejad while she’s shouting “this may go into overtime” from atop a stack of Maker’s Mark barrels, my gut says she’d be a better commander-in-chief. Point is, I find myself in Hillary’s corner, and I hate it here.
It’s not as though I needed any help disliking Obama, he’s like a Frankenstein of all the lefties I can’t stand, I mean he’s Barbara Boxer on domestic issues and Jimmy Carter on foreign affairs for crying out loud. To make matters worse he’s nearly as smooth as Bill Clinton, and he’s got JFK’s fawning, supine fan-base to boot. He’s the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, has a preacher stricken with ecclesiastical Tourettes, a political steering committee headed by tie-dyed terrorists, a prospective first lady that’s the political equivalent to Nurse Ratched, and a tax policy invented by Robin Hood…oh, and he’s endorsed by Hamas too. Now that the iron man primary is nearly over and the politburo is ready to put the stamp on Obama, the real circus begins. Forget about all that stuff he said about America, guns, God, fear, bitterness, etc., it’s time for the general election…so slap on the flag pin, print up the faith-based bifolds, and roll out mom and the kids. Let me know when we actually see him eating apple pie.
No thanks. At least I know Hillary Clinton, indeed I’ve always enjoyed disliking her, and when compared to the nouveau-internationalistic-egalitarian-trans-utopian-social-metamorphistic whatever-you-call-it drivel that drives Obama’s latte-drinking drones crazy, I’ll take good old Mrs.Clinton’s Machiavellian scheming any day, and chalk it up to one more reason I dislike Barack Obama.
The country can survive 4 more years of Clinton, but surviving another 4 years of Carter is questionable.
Big wet smooching Hillary alert! Enough of this from you Hillary's-not-so-bad weenies.
“Funny stuff!”
Then I must be humorless.
This election cycle has left me drained, and madder’n “H”.
...you must be, I laughed out loud.
I was in college in the Carter years, and then lived through 8 years of Billory. IMHO, Billory did more damage to the country, albeit it took them 8 years to do it.
But this is CERTAINLY NOT an endorsement of EITHER candidate!
LOL, my family and I are struggling with the same stuff here! ; )
Hillary is almost cuddly compared to Obama - EXTREME TRIPLE BARF ALERT!!!
Lol. Same at my house. Never thought I’d see the day. Still could not make myself pull the lever for her in Texas, but I was rooting for her.
“I hate Obama…he made me like Hillary”
...and for that he CANNOT be forgiven...
I have to say, I’m in agreement.
I never thought there would be a dem nominee I detested more then Hillary, no one I’d consider a better choice for the opposition. But B. Hussein Obama has managed to do the unthinkable in Hanneybean World.
Hillary is putrid, scheming, cold, ruthless, etc. etc. etc., but even with all that (and more) against her, B. Hussein Obama scares the CRAP outta me. He scares the living crap outta me. His wife scares the crap outta me. His worldview scares the crap outta me. His drone-like disciples scare the crap outta me. His marxist, messianic image scares the crap outta me.
Did I mention how he scares the crap outta me??
As far as I’m concerned, I’ll take the devil you know against this upstart, elitist, idiot marxist with his audicity of hope and his bitter comments and his GD America mentor and his terrorists best buds. YES I CAN.

“Funny stuff!”
Funny because it is true!
Having to choose between Clinton and Obama would indeed be bleak. But Obama has caused some to see Clinton as the less “leftist” of the two.
Let’s hope we won’t have to endure either of them as president.
Funny but true. I started watching her a little a few weeks ago and she is my pick for prez of the three. She will pander and move to the middle unlike johnboy and bambi. I have even had crossing thoughts of sending her money.
I wonder if there is any other conservative in America who feel like I do.... probably not.
