I heard Sullivan on some talk show the other day, Maybe Hewitt. He is so totally in love and lust with Obama he almost fainted. Really creepy.
They may own the justice department, but they don’t own Congress, who does the impeachment and removal.
And unfortunately, he did much damage to the country. Yet look at us! We continue down the same slippery slope like we're braindead! Just freakin' unbeliveable, like a nightmare becoming real.
Here’s my email to Andrew Sullivan:
“That’s a shame - because Obama clearly represents, whatever his faults, a different racial politics than that of Jackson, Sharpton and the past.” (that’s Andy’s quote. my response below)
and what are those “faults” you speak of? I’d like to know, Andrew. Really, ‘cause I haven’t seen much about that from you. And now you’re giving Democrats advice on how to heal the divide by bringing HILLARY to the VP slot?! Wow, have your priorities changed. I mean, your style hasn’t, but your priorities have. Also, after basically writing off Hillary as the devil (one of the few points of yours I still agree with these days), it seems worse than cynical for you to want to bring her to the fold, just to have your hero win the nomination. And what’s worse than cynical? I’ll give you a hint- it starts with “R” and ends with “ovian”.
One other thing, when your admiring reader Wrights that Obama “appeals to Republicans (like yourself)”, how in the world do you not correct him? You’re a lot things Andrew, some of them even good. But you are certainly no Republican these days. I think that’s one thing you and I can agree on, no?
If this were anyone other than the Clintons, I'd agree with you. But this is about Hillary, not the democrats. Once she has her foot in the door as VP, all bets are off.
I don't think she has enough pull with the Secret Service to have them look the other way when she suggests a walk in Ft. Marcy Park, but I think she owns enough low level bureaucrats at Justice to have them find whatever evidence she needs to start impeachment proceedings in the House. Owning enough congresscritters to make impeachment happen is just a matter of owning FBI files, also available from the Justice Dept.
When the Republicans went after Clinton, they went in with the evidence available to them, and proceeded according to the law under the Constitution. When Hillary went after Nixon, she went around the law. She re-wrote the rules to forbid Nixon's having an attorney to defend him. And she was only a low-level staffer at the time. Imagine what she'd be able to do with the network she has in place now.
That depends on the outcome of the House races this cycle. If the dems hold then House, all she needs to do is convince a majority of them to see things her way. That should be easy, given that FBI files will be easily available to her from Justice.
But you are forgetting that it takes a 2/3 majority to remove a sitting president. That means that the Republicans must agree that the crime Obama is accused of is serious enough to remove him from office.
Hillary could be hoping Obama will do the Nixon thing and resign rather than face impeachment. Personally, I think he'd go the Bill Clinton route and tough it out. Either way, he's damaged goods and she's the savior of the party.
I can't think of any other reason she'd want to share the ticket with Obama. Party unity means nothing to her if the Party isn't united behind her. I don't see her giving up gracefully and going back to the Senate. It's past time for her to be President. I think she'll be on that ticket one way or another.
the raw truth is: Clinton's victories in Ohio and Pennsylvania and persistence in states such as North Carolina and Indiana, which vote this Tuesday, have kept Obama from closing the deal definitively. Worse: the demographics seem to be hardening into a difficult dynamic for him. White working-class women -- crucial to Democratic marginal states -- remain resistant to his charms. Hispanics are also iffier than they should be. Somehow, the Clintons' brutal assault on his brand, aided and abetted by conservative media outlets, such as Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly, have managed to dent this unifier a little.my comment is, the joker who wrote that screed is oh-so-obviously a media shill for Obama. "Clintons' brutal assault" and "this unifier" -- ridiculous crap. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.

Your comments seem to describe the out of the closet gay mediots and those still in the closet like Chrissie Matthews with the thrill up or in his leg.
Makes one wonder if Hussein is one of their own.
