Q: You’ve raised $55 million in February and in your speech today you said “I was against the war in ‘03, ‘04, ‘05 — all the way on through 2010, and you specifically mentioned Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Could you ever see yourself on the same ticket as Senator Clinton?
A: Well, you know, I think it’s premature. You won’t see me as a vice presidential candidate — you know, I’m running for president. We have won twice as many states as Senator Clinton, and have a higher popular vote, and I think we can maintain our delegate count — but you know, what I’m really focused on right now, because all that stuff is premature, is winning this nomination and changing the country. And I think that’s what people here are concerned about. How are you going to provide health care to every American? So I spend a lot of time talking about the plan I wanted to put in place that would not only lower costs for those who already have health insurance, but also make sure people who don’t have health insurance can get health care as good as the health care I have as a member of Congress. Those are the kinds of issues that really make a difference in people’s lives, and we’re going to keep on talking about them.

Have the Clintons Outsmarted Themselves?

The Clinton campaigns (all of them) have masterfully used suggestion and innuendo to entice supporters and undermine opponents. For example, Bill Clinton began the primary campaign season saying that “he always told Hillary that she’d win the general election easily, but getting the nomination would be tough”.

What was the point? The voice of wisdom showing everyone how smart he was, that he understood everything that the rest of us, including his wife’s entire campaign staff, did not get? Was he not on the phone to donors talking about her “inevitability” at the same time? Her whole campaign was geared to February 5 and nothing beyond, suggesting the inevitability argument was persuasive.

What Bill was doing was telling people not to worry about the general election—about which everyone remains VERY worried—and that the challenge was the nomination, so that, if they supported her, they would overcome that problem (that, in their minds, did not exist), and that was her “last” major challenge.

Bill Clinton did NOT predict the Obama phenomenon. He was playing with peoples’ psyches, and abusing his status as the voice of wisdom in the party. Reverse psychology.

They now employ this tactic to suggest, not so subtly, that Obama can be on the ticket—just not at the top. Vote for Hillary, and Obama makes a great deal of sense, because they appeal to different constituencies, says Bill.

Ok, Bill, if Hillary would even entertain putting Obama on the ticket, does that not mean that she considers him to be able to take over on a moment’s notice? Every Presidential nominee, in both parties, has always said that the first criterion for a VP choice is “ready on day 1″.

Thus, Bill and Hillary, if you are entertaining putting Barack on the ticket, does that not mean you both agree that he passes muster on that criterion?

Or, are you just cynically trying to manipulate peoples’ psyches—again? I’m shocked, shocked!

When Dirty Tricks Are Rewarded

March 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

 

When Dirty Tricks Are Rewarded
There is a perception
 by some that
most people
 are intelligent
enough to tell the difference between fear mongering, lies, deception etc.
However,the outcome of Ohio and Texas showed me that most Americans are easily manipulated. This is not to say that there weren’t substantial amounts who were truly thinking for themselves and understood what Hillary was doing.
But there seems to be a truly amazing loss of analytical ability and honor for truth in this nation.
Here’s some of what they looked over when they elected Hillary to take over this nation:
Signs She Will Say and Do Anything To Be President:
Hillary said she’d NOT meet with our “enemies” and belittled Barack over it, implying he’s naive (stupid) for stating he would.
Weeks later she was asked essentially the same question by MSNBC’s  Keith Olbermann and stated emphatically “absolutely” and promptly parroted Obamas reasons why she would.~ LIAR?
Nukes or no nukes. On ‘Meet the Press’ there was a clip of her saying she would not “engage in hypothetical’s”(meaning she would NOT say if she would use nuclear weapons)The host apparently showed her In a clip from the Bloomberg channel where she empathetically  states that “NUKES ARE OFF THE TABLE” ~LIAR?
Her network CNN (Clinton News Network) staff asks an audience member (Maria Parra-Sandoval, 22, a senior political science major at the University of Nevada) to give a softer question “diamonds or pearls” instead of a more serious question about the Yucca Mountain nuclear repository.
~DECEPTIVE? TRICKING THE PUBLIC for a warm feel good moment for a falsely positive last impression?
She takes federal lobbyist monies (while Obama doesn’t) and when asked if she would continue taking the monies, she said “yes I will” will no shame! Yet she tells people in her rally’s she’s against lobbyists and will stop the power they have in Washington! $$HRC$$ is bought and will owe them. Meaning she will be forced to do their bidding against the interests of the American people. ~LIAR?
Earlier in her campaign she said wanted to” turn the heat up on the republicans”. This let’s you know her mentality once she’d get into office. Confrontations over negations have been rewarded with gridlock against laws that favor the American people as well as creates a smokescreen to sellout to the lobbyists while claiming “gridlock.”
~LIAR?
Her husband tried to make Obama a ‘for blacks only’ president to turn off White voters while she continued to defend Bill on his assaults against Obama.
~LIARS? DECIEVERS? Divide and conquer?
Hillary attempted to call Obama a plagiarist for using several phrases a member of his campaign suggested he use.
~LIAR?
Hillary’s chief advisor Mark Penn attempted to ghettoize him with reflections of Obamas drug use (that he admitted to in his first book in the 1990’s) as a young man. She didn’t demote or fire him.
~DECIEVER? ANOTHER ATTEMPT DEVIDE AND CONQUER?
She continues to say Obamas Universal Healthcare plan leaves out 15 million no matter how often he tells her in detail how it does not! ~LIAR?
She claims to have observed enough of the workings of the White House of nearly 10 + years ago as if EVERYTHING is still the same. ~SELF DECIET?
She speaks how she visited around 80 countries. By boasting of such, she acts as if every leader she visited is still alive and in power as well as the countries she visited (again around 10+ years ago) are in the same political and social condition. ~SELF DECIET?
She refuses to stop claiming Obama was fully aware of a meeting with a staff member in Canada. Even when the Canadian government stated clearly that Obama did not say one thing about his position contradicting his on air position on his 20th debate with Hillary regarding NAFTA (the North American Free Trade Agreement). ~LIAR?
Why are some people willing to excuse this evil as “politics”?
We shouldn’t expect those who ‘represent’ us to be lairs, deceivers, dividers!
If there’s more stuff I’ve missed, I’m sorry. I’d love to have you fill in whatever I left out!

Hillary Gets Free Attack Ads Without Protest

Hillary Gets Free Attack Ads Without Protest
Posted: 11:55 AM ET

A new Obama fundraising e-mail sent by campaign manager David Plouffe.

(CNN) – Barack Obama’s campaign is using reports of a pro-Hillary Clinton group airing television ads on her behalf in its own fundraising appeals, sending supporters a plea for donations that points to actions by “Swift Boat-style groups and smear campaigns.”

“News broke yesterday that a few wealthy Clinton supporters are gearing up for a massive spending campaign to boost her chances in the big upcoming contests in Texas and Ohio on March 4th,” wrote David Plouffe in the Thursday e-mail message.

“The so-called ‘American Leadership Project’ will take unlimited contributions from individuals and is organized the same way as the infamous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth,” he added.

Yesterday, the Obama campaign sent out a statement that used the same comparison – a characterization Jason Kinney, an organizer of the group, called “heavy-handed and hypocritical.”

ALP, which includes veterans of the Clinton administration and longtime supporters, is a “527” group, which means it is not bound by federal campaign finance laws as long as it does not directly advocate on behalf of a particular candidate.

Their new ad praises Clinton and seems to criticize Obama, though the ad released Wednesday does not mention the Illinois senator by name.

Why Obama’s Wisconsin win is especially telling

February 21, 2008 · Leave a Comment

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/
Not so long ago — like, earlier this month — one of the dismissive talking points that the Hillary Clinton camp pressed against Barack Obama was that he was winning nominating contests in states the Democratic presidential ticket won’t have a prayer of carrying in November: North Dakota, Idaho, Utah, Alaska, Nebraska.Those triumphs, the case went, offered no clue as to whether he would be a candidate capable of putting together a winning electoral college majority later this year.

As Obama’s winning streak has stretched to 10, that argument has subsided. And Obama’s sweeping victory in Wisconsin should bury it once and for all.

As a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story astutely notes, the win “came in a 50/50 battleground … that is a virtual must-win for Democrats in November.”

How tight have the recent presidential elections been in the Badger State?

Al Gore carried it over …

George Bush in 2000 by about 0.2 of a percentage point.

 John Kerry slightly improved that margin in 2004, winning it against Bush by about 0.4 of a percentage point — making it the most closely contested state in that year’s race.

In winning Tuesday’s primary by 17 percentage points, Obama dominated Clinton among various demographic groups; exit polling showed he won men by more than 2 to 1 (while running even among women) and carried independents by about 30 points.

That latter statistic, in particular, should put to rest any dispute about which of the Democrats would be best equipped to hold Wisconsin for the party in the general election.
