Straight from the Too Good To Be True Department.

It would be lunacy if the rats tried it - but there are conservatives who want to do the same thing to our party.

Obama would bolt from the Democratic Party and run as an Independent

Too funny to be true but it would sure get Billary's attention. lol

Meant to say “she” won’t accept a loss under any circumstances.
Obviously, I do not support the ‘beast...except over OsamaObama for the primary in TX. Newly registed and undeclared, I am voting Dem if only for this one day to try to bring about this nomination bloodbath.

The Grifters have been outmanuevered by the newbie in the empty suit. Whoever’s advising him is very, very smart.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the Dem opponent for his Senate race was crushed by a scandal . . . and then his Republican opponent was crushed by a scandal.

That said, if I actually saw Obama go third party with Bloombergs backing I would believe in that “loose association of millionaires and billionaires” . . . and know that McCain is somehow part of it.

I’m going to be drinking a lot of beer and eating a lot of popcorn this year. Bring it on!

It’s time for Hillary to get out of the way, and let the Obamarama revival roll on. Our pop culture has their messiah. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I can’t wait until the same flakes are begging someone to save them from the pop shock Obama is going to give them. I want Democrats to get into such a fever pitch over Obama that they swoon at his feet. The higher they float up on his hot air, the harder the crash when they fall.

It does seem far-fetched, but so was Ross Perot! :-)

And that adviser would be none other than SATAN himself.

You’re right, Perot did it and there’s no reason Obama couldn’t do it too.

Can you imagine how unhinged Willy would get if it happened? It’s possible he’d have a stroke.

I am! :)

Seriously, you make good points. The Clintons have never won the WH without a stalking horse. I sometimes wonder if the Huckster is working for the presidency or for the Clintons. It would be delicious to see the Clintons being stalked by an Obama horse.

“The word on the street is that the Obama campaign and New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg have already met and devised an incredible plan if Clinton wins the nominee. Mayor Bloomberg would give nearly $1 billion to Obama’s campaign after which Obama would bolt from the Democratic Party and run as an Independent candidate with king-maker Bloomberg as his running mate. The Obama campaign realizes that Obama is too new at this game and doesn’t have the political weight of the Clintons to bring in the true heavy-hitters of the party’s hierarchy. So, according to sources it was Bloomberg himself who suggested this cunning strategy. It’s mind boggling that the Clintons are willing to destroy the entire Democratic Party, and potentially in the process lose the White House and seats in Congress, for their own selfish thirst for power and glory.”


I don’t know where Armstrong Williams (whom I have always liked and admired) got this, but there’s no way that Obama will throw away his chances at running for president in the future by splitting the Democrats and running as an independent with Mike Bloomberg as his runningmate/sugar daddy. But if Obama was stupid enough to do that . . . mamma mía! (I’m currently making a hand gesture similar to the young mafioso at Connie Corleone’s wedding when he eyed the bag with all of those cash wedding gifts and said “if it was somebody else’s wedding . . . mamma mía!”)

.....Did I miss a decade or something?.....

The rumor indicates that the rich and powerful businessman that happens to be mayor of New York City thinks Hillary Clinton et al are a disaster that will destroy America.

Earlier rumors put Bloomberg as third party candidate by himself. The new strategy is better.

A blilion$$$ is a small price for destroying Hillary Clinton.

The really far fetched part (to me) is Bloomberg putting up a BILLION dollars of his own money just to be vice president. I’d think that if Obama made this threat to the superdelegates/DNC powers that be, they’d have to call BS on that figure.

I know who Bloomberg is. I also think Hillary is a disaster. My question concerns just how popular Bloomberg really is. His 3rd party candidacy proposal was silliness in my opinion.

She didn’t drop anything. She “loaned” her campaign the money. And I’m sure for 20% interest or more.

I wish he’d also give Fred Thompson a billion to bolt the republican party.

That Bloomberg “bit” set off my BS meter. I don’t buy it.
