Rush nailed Hitlery on this!
Rush Limbaugh ping!
What is there to be scared of? What I am scared of is Republicans afraid of a fight.
Rush is of course right on this, but the problem is this: will the American people be right on this? And the answer to that question is far from certain, despite what Rush maintains. Many millions of American literally idolize both Clintons and would follow them off a sudden cliff to their deaths.
Hillary won't get the dem nomination. Unfortunately, Guiliani will be the next Prez. Better than any democrat, but not my cup o tea.
Under normal circumstances, I'd agree that as of 2008 the United States would not elect the likes of Hillary. I think the US will still naturally favor a conservative for at least a couple more elections, but that doesn't mean that events, and the media, couldn't conspire to elect Hillary.
I could see the war on terror cutting both ways; if things are quiet and Iraq is stable then Americans might overlook that Hillary would be commander-in-chief, while if its bad, people might be fed up and vote for someone they think will get us out asap.
If the economy is bad. If gas prices are still so high. If the corruption charge still has play....it could happen. And we shouldn't let up our guard, especially since the media will make it their number one goal to make Hillary synonomous with 'moderate' and 'centrist.'
I think she would off bill if she thought it would garner any sympathy votes. Of course that would make her the first Black Widow President. I'm not sure she could overcome this hurdle..
It has little to do with politics. It has everything to do with the mushy middle who watch American Idol.
If you're more likeable than the other guy, you win.
Hopefully Bush can get Scotus nomination 3 in before he leaves if Rudy gets it.
Please God, just one more Supreme Court Justice from Bush....oh, please.
Good one ..... heheheheeee :)
But more importantly, recall this:
HILLARY: I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic, and we should stand up and say, "We are Americans, and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration!"
I'm sorry, but the simple truth is that all the Republican party has to do is run that clip, without editing or comment.
Only a very few balding ponytailed girlymen could stand to have THAT shrieking at them for 4-8 years, or would trust THAT to defend their families against terrorism.
The Dems, if they take back the House, may very well try to impeach Bush, but in the end, he's seen by friend and foe as someone who did TOO MUCH to fight terror. Against those who want restraint in the fight against terror, that's a powerful weapon.
Stevens can retire, that would do the trick.
Two more would be most excellent.
My biggest concern is McCain pulling a Ross Perot by running independant and screwing us over by splitting the conservative vote.
I don't think Hillary can get more than 50% of the vote. Rush made a good point. a) Bill never got 50%. b) This is the best Hillary is ever going to look to people. She has gotten nothing but wonderful press for 13 years now...no opposing views of her. No real, genuine scrutiny. She's not going to be able to do that through a campaign.
The only way she wins it is if we can't put up a good candidate or if McCain successfully splits us up. We totally need to be on guard for that....remember the result of Perot. Eight years of one of the worst Presidents in American history.
One more would give a conservative majority for the first time in 50-60 years.
Two more would be an earthquake of massive proportions and effect a change on the court for generations.
Hopefully Stevens will die or resign at the very least.
I gotta disagree with you. Unless Guiliani comes out strongly against abortion, and renounces his support of partal birth abortion, he won't even get the nomination.
resign, I hope. LOL
Except I don't believe she 'fell in love' with that horn dog; she saw power potential. She didn't really give it all up, either, but took a different route. A single feminist wasn't going to make it anywhere politically back then unless she was just going to be a sideshow like Joan Baez or Jane Fonda. The way to attain power and recognition was by attaching herself to the fat boy from Arkansas who had once met the iconic Democrat president, JFK.
