As I consider the single greatest threat to the current levels of liberty and economic security of the citizens of the United States to be the election and inauguration of Hillary Rodham Clinton as President of the United States, I am therefore initiating this thread for the purpose of debate and monitoring of the unfolding circumstances which will ultimately determine whether this impending threat is realized or avoided.
I chose the analogy of the DOOMSDAY CLOCK as a useful tool for measuring the advances and retreats of this impending threat by means of inspiring and soliciting public debate on the perceived relevance of current events as they relate to HRC's obvious ambitions.
In my opinion, the events of this December 2002, have moved the "clock" from 20 minutes until 12 to 15 minutes to 12. These events are in order of importance, 1. The announcement of Al Gore not to seek the Presidency on Dec. 15 2. The reporting of a Dec. 21 CNN/Time Poll describing support for an HRC candidacy at 30% versus the announced and likely candidacies of Kerry and Lieberman at 13% each 3. The successful re-invigoration efforts of the Democratic Party's vitally important core constituency, black voters, as evidenced by the Lousiana Senate race victory and the resignation of Trent Lott.
The current setting of a quarter to 12 represents, in my opinion, the idea that less than a dozen new criteria would have to happen for the doomsday result to be realized. I would arbitrarily assert that future revelations concerning the economy, the war, and the current administration's legislative programs would move the clock a minute or two, whereas such things as an announcement of a candidacy or consideration of a potential candidacy, perhaps a separation from her husband, and the nomination itself in the summer of 2004 would move the clock as much as 5 minutes, in and of themselves.
I hope this thread will provide a useful, educational, and entertaining tool for those who believe vigilance is a necessary responsibility and obligation of those who seek the maintain and expand individual liberty.
All comments are welcome, let the debate, pontificating, and monitoring begin!
You're a sick Freeper! ;^)

Muleboy is harldy being a "Chicken Little". He merely opened up a discussion.
If you can say, without any reservation whatsoever, that she "HAS VIRTALLY NO CHANCE OF ACUALLY GETTING ELECTED", you are more than naive.
You are wise beyond years, Muleboy.
Those are exactly the same words we used to describe Bill's candidacy in 1991.
We knew about the taxing and spending, the womanizing, the double-talk, etc.
But we also knew about the ambition. Our mistake was to discount the ambition and give far too much credit to the mass-media and the electorate.
I do not want to make the same mistake again. The old saying "Fool me once..."

No she didn't It was a brilliant move. People in Alabama, Mississippi and a few other areas will hate her for it. She wasn't expected to win ther anyway. The rest of the country has been hating the South and using it for a whipping boy for 40 years. It's become a national sport she can play into.
Let us hope that GW's reticence in prosecuting the Clinton's means that he is saving the ammunition for, in Foghorn Leghorn's words, "just such an emergency".
In the neverending political game of divide and conquer, look for every Republican who has ever had his picture taken with a Confederate flag in the background to be lambasted in 2004.
GRRRRRollin' God Bless USA and Merry Christmas!
