CARVILLE'S 'Clinton is electable! Clear the way!' BATTLE CRY SPELLS TROUBLE FOR HILLARY
The Post Carville-Penn apologia, full of poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication is, clearly, missus clinton's response-by-proxy (how else?) to the growing 'dump hillary' movement within the Democratic Party.1a
Then how come missus clinton relies exclusively on the likes of Carville and Penn to answer her critics? How come she never defends herself?1 How come missus clinton submits only to scripted, softball interviews with friendly hosts and prescreened audiences? How come she routinely quashes the dissent of the people by abusing her Secret Service detail paid for by the people?1b How come she is answerable to no one, ever?2 There is a difference between being an abusive scold3 and being tough. Missus knownothing victim4 clinton is the very definition of weak.5 The difference with Hillary is the intensity of her support.-- ibid The difference with hillary is the smallness and parochialism of her support. The difference with hillary is the intensity of the revulsion.6 Pundits and fundraisers and activists may be unsure of whether Hillary can get elected president, but Democratic voters, particularly Democratic women and even independent women, are thrilled with the idea. The X factor for 2008 -- and we do mean X -- is the power of women in the electorate. Fifty-four percent of voters are female. George Bush increased his vote with only two groups between 2000 and 2004: women and Hispanics. Bush got 49 percent of white female voters in 2000 and 55 percent in 2004. Of his 3.5-percentage-point margin over John Kerry, Bush's increase with women accounted for 2.5 percentage points. The rest came from a nine-point increase among Hispanic voters: from 35 percent in 2000 to 44 percent in 2004. We believe that Hillary is uniquely capable of getting those swing voters back to the Democratic column. -- ibid
For the same reason Harold Ickes fulminated on C-SPAN. The election of 2004 confirmed missus clinton's worst fears:
And when the socially conservative Hispanics hear more about the clinton rapes and predations8--hear, specifically, about missus clinton's role9 in them--hillary can kiss their vote goodbye. While it is unclear who, Carville/Penn or the Washington Post, is responsible for the title, 'The Power of Hillary,' its blaring lack of subtlety--and its insidious second message: (Dare to dump powerful hillary and you'll pay. Bigtime!)--only serve to underscore what jackboot thugs the clintons are and how great the desperation is these days in the hillary camp. footnotes COPYRIGHT MIA T 2006 |
