Bill and Hillary's petty party

Though Democrats are stunningly and obsessively wrong about which party tried to steal the 2002 presidential election, they're entitled to their opinion. Where they cross the line is in their endless campaign to illegitimatize President Bush. And doing it on the verge of a war is unconscionable.

It would be one thing if only fringe Democrats persisted in this destructive charade, but it's their leaders. Sadly, the adults have never regained control of the party. The adolescents still reign, and boy, do they carry a grudge. George Bush took their ball away from them, and they have been pouting and whining ever since.

Terry McAuliffe, the titular head of the party (the real head being Bill Clinton), tells us repeatedly, as do scores of other Democratic heavyweights, that Bush didn't win. Yes, the Clintons are still calling the shots -- and I do mean shots. Every chance they get they take cheap shots at President Bush -- since arguing the issues hasn't seemed to get them anywhere.

Senator Hillary Clinton, at a private fund-raiser in Los Angeles for Missouri Senator Jean Carnahan (Los Angeles, by the way, is in California, not Missouri), told the audience that President Bush had been "selected," not elected president. I couldn't obtain the full transcript of Hillary's speech, so I don't know if she also called the president a moron. So the jury's still out on whether New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has become her speechwriter.

Hillary didn't limit her negative remarks to the presidential election. She said, "You know, I'm a fan of Clintonomics, and this administration is destroying in months our eight years of economic progress." (Don't miss her use of "our," making it quite clear she wants to perpetuate the image of her co-presidency with Bill as she continues to position herself for a presidential run at the earliest feasible convenience.)

Then, Mrs. Clinton, in vintage pot-calling-the-kettle-black mode, accused the Bush "machine" of trying to "ruin the reputations of our candidates or, if they can't, to depress the turnout" through nasty politics. "But, you know," said Hillary, "you have got to hand it to them. These people are ruthless, and they are relentless." (The philosophical question to ponder is whether one should take it as a compliment and vindication when a ruthless and relentless person calls him ruthless and relentless.)

Seriously, how can these co-authors of the politics of personal destruction complain about other politicians employing their signature tactics? Of course, the truth is that Bush has not engaged in this type of politics. If anything, he has consistently erred on the side of appeasing Democratic partisanship.

But I do use the term "co-authors" deliberately. It isn't just Hillary making noise out there. And it isn't just happening in Los Angeles with fawning Hollywood types looking on. Last month, former President Bill had the audacity, as you'll recall, to undercut his successor on foreign -- albeit ally -- soil.

In his shameful speech to a Labour Party Convention in Blackpool, England, Clinton spit, "The election was so close in America that they won it fair and square -- 5 to 4 at the Supreme Court. We actually should be glad, though, because there were seven Republicans and only two Democrats on the Supreme Court -- and two of those Republicans (God bless them, they will be rewarded in heaven), they actually took the decision that we should count votes when the American people vote, and I appreciate that."

You don't have to take my word for the Clintons' vindictiveness. Newsweek reporter Howard Fineman, in an interview with MSNBC's Chris Matthews, provides some insider confirmation. "What do the Clintons want? They want back in the action. They want credit for the, quote, 'Clinton years.' And they want to humiliate the Bush family if they can."

You also don't have to take my word that the Clintons still have a vise-grip on the Democrats. According to Fineman, "The people who are running the Democratic campaign behind the scenes are Bill and Hillary Clinton and all of their friends from the Clinton years. Whether it's Harold Ickes, James Carville, Stan Greenberg, Terry McAuliffe, the party chair -- it's all the Clinton crowd."

The Clintons, with the Democrats in tow, are still trying to rescue their legacy from the embers of its smoldering corruption by falsely accusing their opponents of similar corruption. Would somebody please tell them it's not going to work -- and that their speechwriters need some new material?

The one thing we have to remember about the psycho clintons is that they cannot survive unless they're constantly the center of attention - positive attention or negative attention, it really doesn't matter to these troubled individuals. As long as the spotlight is on them, they enjoy it.

The corruption they've engaged in through their entire lives will stop only with their deaths because with each scandal comes yet more attention and a bigger spotlight to bask in.

I sat by two very liberal friends at a wedding and listened in to their conversation. While the rest of us were talking small talk they were in a heated discussion of how Bush stole the Presidency. Their angst was flowing all over the floor. The best comment was that they were glad Torricelli was out because he was so corrupt, but even if he had not resigned, they would have voted for him. They like to tell me to vote for the man not the party.

I actually came away feeling good. They were not in good spirits going into this election, instead they were very disheartened. And this was with Lautenberg leading in the polls. They do not like their own candidates nor the way their party is taking them.

"Has that clinton "legacy" made you feel safer yet?"

Lest Americans ever forget why the clintons, and all their enablers need to be hectored, hounded, and harried into silence, until "clintonese is only spoken in Hell," look here:

Say what????

[Steely Tom]

They do not like their own candidates nor the way their party is taking them.

There was a great observation posted by a Freeper last week, or maybe the week before, that your post reminded me of. It was something to this effect: "The liberal's reward is a future of self-loathing." Not a direct hit on your observations in the field, I know, but related. I wish I could find the exact quote, it may have been more eloquent than I was able to remember.

'pouting' far to kind and innocuous a word. . .

The Democratic Party is no longer what it used to be. It is now nothing more than a vehicle of lies, confusion, and deceit for the Clintons and their determination for power and wealth. The Mafia Don’s have more honor and integrity among themselves than the Clintons and their defenders, supporters and apologists, however no less deadly. The feminists who support Hillary regardless of her lack of veracity on most issues and Bill who has little respect for women, the Sovereignty of his country or the Constitution that guides it let alone any law that does not work for him, are all special interest, not Americans for America.

They live separate lives yet show a “united” front for fund raisers etc. falsely representing themselves as something they are not. The people that are keeping this absurd and myopic view of their party alive by donating to the Clintons are cutting their own throats and those of their children and the moral fiber of this country. Look at what has happened to our laws, our reputation abroad, our educational institutions, cheating and lying for votes and the out and out fraud in the market place...all became the norm under Bill and Hillary Clinton, just as it has become the norm for the DNC.

Being a Democrat today is nothing to be proud of. The only way democrats can regain their party is for democrats not to give money other than to their own states while being very careful for whom they vote and elect to run under the DNC banner. Lending credence to the Clintons is the worst thing they could do for their country as the Clintons represent nothing this nation stands for; they represent absolutely nothing but their own mendacious, greedy selves.

I too was struck by how restrained and kindly David Limbaugh was being in this article.

[anniegetyourgun]

I'm not sure that the 'little guy' in the DEM party can regain control by simply not giving. They are have portions of their paychecks heisted every payday from the unions, and the liberals in Hollywood and liberal corporations will make up the rest. I think that's how the party is getting by at this point anyway, as witnessed by decreased DEM coffers this year.

You know I recall Ann Richards tried this tactic and if I recall she fell from that high horse of hers .. Here is hoping that Hillary falls even harding

Keep up the good work Mr. President, you are doing a great job

How the Clintons don't CHOKE on all their bull$h!t has always been beyond me.
They are seemingly without a soul and void of any ethics. The rest of the Democrat party and their voters are NOT far behind them.
The fact that many Americans side with their way of thinking is scarier than anything else for me.
What are some people becoming in America to follow and admire that slop?
The Democrat party has led to the death of decency in many people recently and the Wellstone political funeral rally was a total sickening display of vulgarity.

[#3Fan]

The Democrats are definitely trying to drown out truth with a flood of lies out of their mouths. Maybe the earth will swallow their lies and them up.
