Hillary Clinton Launching Presidential Run
She’s running. I won’t go through the whole story, just a few of the highlights that really jerk my chain.
She said:
"As a senator, I will spend two years doing everything in my power to limit the damage George W. Bush can do," Clinton's statement added. "But only a new president will be able to undo Bush's mistakes and restore our hope and optimism."
Um, Hill? We’ve been listening for your dissenting voice for a couple of years now with nary a peep from you. Now that it’s safe, now that everyone has jumped from The Good Ship Lollipop and been plucked out of the waters by the USS Reality, now when it’s safe for you to speak out, NOW you think Iraq is a bad idea. You’re a day late and a dollar short, lady.
Many political watchers consider Clinton the Democrat to beat — particularly given her prolific fundraising abilities. Associates of Clinton say she will be capable of raising tens of millions of dollars in the year to come.
Isn’t that a crying shame? She’s deemed the Democrat to beat because she can raise the most money. Remember, America, you don’t always get what you pay for. Sometimes a bargain brand just works better because it has to.
Clinton's support is particularly strong among Democratic women; 49 percent favor her for the nomination, compared with 29 percent of Democratic men.
Ok, ladies, I’m talking to you here. Just because Hillary Clinton has a uterus, that’s no reason to give her permission to run the country. Voting for a woman simply because she’s a woman makes you stupid and not worthy of owning a uterus or a vote. While I agree it would be wonderful to someday have a woman president, not this woman. She has proven herself to be just another professional politician. I also agree that while it would be a comic delight to have Bill back in the White House, it would only be fun for about five minutes. Forgive me for what I’m about to say, but come on ladies, stop voting with your twat! I’m sorry, there was just no better way to put it. And I apologize for using the words Hillary Clinton and uterus in the same sentence. (Expect freaks who Google “twat” to show up any minute and be very disappointed.)
This past week, Clinton made a highly publicized trip to Iraq, where she met with top U.S. commanders. During that trip, she told ABC News' Jonathan Karl the situation in Iraq is "heartbreaking."
Way to use
"I don't know that the American people or the Congress at this point believe this mission can work," she told ABC News.
You don’t know? Pick up a newspaper, girl. She knows damn good and well that the tide has turned for this war. That’s why it is now safe for her to jump on the cool kid’s bandwagon.
After returning to the United States, Clinton proposed legislation to cap the number of American troops serving in Iraq and to begin a redeployment of troops out of Baghdad, and eventually out of Iraq. She also supports putting conditions on the money being spent in Iraq.
Obama proposed similar legislation the following day. He often points to the fact that he never supported the war in the first place. Clinton did vote to authorize the use of force in 2002.
I’ll admit it, I get a certain amount of joy from the fact that the flag-waving, uber-patriots of 2002 are finally getting their comeuppance. Having voted for this war in back in 2002 is political poison now, and it should be. And while they’re all singing a different tune, now that it’s a safe thing to do, they should have had the strength, decency, and common sense to do it back then.
Prior to Clinton's proposal for legislation, John Edwards leveled indirect criticism at Clinton for not taking bolder action to oppose the war. In a speech commemorating Martin Luther King, Jr., he said: "If you're in Congress and you know that this war is going in the wrong direction, and you know that we should not escalate this war in Iraq, it is no longer okay to study your options and keep your own private counsel."
Now THAT’S how you do it. If you voted for this war in 2002, then you suck it up, admit your mistake, and come out firing both barrels against it now. Not some wimpy, milquetoast, “I don’t know that the American people believe this can work” crap. For someone who’s been labeled a pit bull, she sure seems to be a fence-straddling, chihuahua to me.
In my book, she’s the very essence of what a politician is. And that’s not a good thing. So unless some phenomenal woman throws her hat into the ring, we will just have to wait four more years. Voting for an unethical woman for president just to get a woman into the White House is an unacceptable option. After all, we want the first female president to go down in history as a good thing, don’t we?
Come on, Hill, stay in your cushy Senate job. I really don't want to have to vote Independant this time around.
And I know this is a typical, catty, question and has nothing to do with anything, but why is she wearing a wedding cake?

We don't have enough people running like Fred Tuttle, The Man With A Plan.
You teach me SO much, Moogirl. First, taking nekid pictures of yourself is bad and now, wearing an outfit made out of doilies isn't a good look. :)
My aunt things Hillary is a good role model for us women. Whenever she says that, I mentally hit my head on a hard surface.
Oh Murf, God love ya.
Lesson #1. Taking nekked pictures of yourself…bad.
Lesson #2. Wearing icing OR doilies…bad.
Lesson #3. Listening to your aunt’s advice on anything other than cooking…really bad!
Well taking pics of yourself isn't all that good idea since you can't get very good composition that way. I'd let someone who knows what they're doing take the pictures since there is a lot more to think about than posing involved in getting good images.
I'd guess it depends on the way the outfit was made and the ocassion, in some situations that could be quite a hit *wink* I've had great success with icing before *wicked grin*
I don't take political advice from relatives at all. I agree with most of Moogirl's points about Hillary, being a woman doesn't really enter into it since her record is so bad. Being a career politician is a lot more important since she has followed the polls and the way the prevailing wind blows a lot more than any beliefs in principles.
That's definitely not what the country needs, it's tough enough to avoid all the corruption even if you have principles of right and wrong, but if you start off only doing what the polls tell you then you're especially prone to being led around.
For anything other than chip dip, I'd question her cooking advice as well. :)
Unfortunately, this renders your aunt totally useless, unless she gives you money.
Are we related to m(urf)?
I think she's the sister nobody talks about.
That works for me. I do my best work when under the radar. You keep causing trouble, girls. I'll be here doing the same thing yet looking too sweet for people to know what I'm doing. :)
OMG Jane, Murf and I were separated at birth! Hey Murf, we call that “under the radar” thing “the bunny face”. I have perfected the bunny face.
Jane, on the other hand, always wanted full credit for her wickedness.
Moo, I think you're onto something. You and m(urf)are the masters. The closest I can get to bunny face is rabbit with rabies.
lol@ rabit with rabies...more like a pitbull!
...with PMS!
Hillary Clinton is a communist, and her husband is a traitor.
Don't get me wrong, GWB is a scumbag as well.
Hillary is a communist and Bill is a traitor?
Wow, what do you base those claims on , genius?
