Original article: What does Hillary want?

fill up with low octane

I know full well Jefferson's history. a deeply flawed man, and one to whom we owe an unpayable debt. As far as the wine and cheese liberal slur, I give a shit what you think. Our family, four generations worth, gets together almost every Sunday for a great meal and to be together. The rest of the week is rice and bean time. Fester asked about what we were serving for mother's day, and I responded. You probably take Mom to the McDrive-through if you pay her any attention at all. So, yeah, once a week we eat pretty high on the hog, the other six days it's slim pickings. The fact that our family has attained college education (by work and scholarship, not by legacy or money) doesn't make us apologetic for knowing the difference between Bo Diddley and Beaujolais. You sound like a typical trailer trash republikan to me. I could send you our spent corks, and you could insert them as leisure permits. how fitting your screen name coincides with a screwdriver: a tool for a tool.

shawn is incomprehensible

the meth delivery must have come early today, so our hero, Shawn, is in rare form. Fringe form. Radical lefty left fringe fringe latte sipping hatermongering racists who are too black, too white, or both. and McCain will duplicate the LBJ sweep of '64. Shawn knows these things. He examines his stool before every flush, and the patterns therein reveal hidden truths, septic mysteries kept from us "liberals". Liberals means anyone to the left of Joe the Ho Lieberthing, the senator from Tel Aviv. So, please, continue with your Delphic expositions, Oh Shawn Almighty, and lettuce spray. Yea, and verily, I implored the Lord to send us a moron, and it came to pass that Shawn was provided, the stool inspired fool and all-around fascist tool. Amen.

You think the clintons are going to do anything other than grub for big bucks? They make 20 mil a year. Jimmy Carter, or John Edwards, actually spend time they could have been using to fatten their bank accounts in diligent efforts to help just the sort of underclass, the downtrodden and forgotten, that you list. If you actually gave a damn, you'd get involved, help stiffen the spine of the Democratic party, and do the long term, thankless, day in and day out work that it takes to change this country. Hillary cares, yes, but most deeply of all about herself. IF this campaign has proven anything, it's that she'll do or say anything to win.

shawn the pawn and joe the ho

your ned lamont anal-ogy is just as lobotomized as the rest of your fetid tripe. Lamont lost because another DINO, Joementum "tel aviv kid" Lieberting ran as an independent. It's kinda like how Big Bill and His Big One got in the White House to begin with: a third party to siphon off votes from morons like you. The only turd party quisling scuttling around the baseboards in this campaign might be Raff Nadir, but he'll get on so few ballots and draw so few flies it won't matter this time around. So, Obama will be President. I know that galls kloset klan kids like you, an uppity coon in the White House, and not as a waiter or a dishwasher. It will be the first time any couple has had sex correctly in that House since JFK. Or do you revere the image of Monica and her kneepads? Ah, the Clinton legacy, now permanently besmirched by a low blow, say anything, do anything campaign that lost. Yes, past tense is proper here: lost. She's in the rear view for good, and the low blows will only satisfy Big Bill.

visionary? hillary?

smart, yes. qualified, without a doubt. visionary? how? by moving to NY and becoming a carpetbagging senator? by being on the Mall Wart board of directors for several years? By working for an all white corporate law firm? By being first lady of something for sixteen years? by being a Goldwater girl? This is a lifetime of sacrifice and vision? Gimme a break. She is whip smart, and demonstrably interested primarily in gaining and retaining power. Money, too. She's put 11 mill on herself, and is now working behind the scenes to have Obama's amazingly well run campaign, with its millions of small dollar donors, bail her rich butt out. visionary? that's a pretty pedestrian vision. She's proven herself petty and vindictive. Smart doesn't solve everything. Would she be competent as President. Of course. Bush has set the bar so low my first grade grandson could cover for him. Hillary is a hack, a common as dust. She has no vision that I've ever seen that does not involve herself. if she could see, she'd know that the race is effectively over. Should she run out the string? fine. She's earned it. But she needs to show, at long last, some class, some valor, some selflessness. that might be the start of visionary.
