GOP: Here's to Hillary's big party!

Nothing would delight Republicans more than for the Clintons to upstage Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention.

    The real democrats

    To those of you who think Hillary wants to upstage Obama: She is true to her party and is going along with their wishes. But the truth is that she cannot help but upstage Obama without trying. He is nothing and she stands head and shoulders above him with her knowledge, confidence, and intelligence.

    To those who think the PUMAs and others are not real democrats: Learn what democrats are really supposed to be instead declaring yourselves as such and following the leaders who are trying to turn the party into something else. We are trying to keep this party clean and let them know that this is a party of the people not a handful of selfserving leaders who have their own agenda. Dean, Pelosi, Reid, and Brazile must go.

    And to the idiot who thinks a little old lady is afraid of

    Bill Clinton in the White House: How childish and absurd can you get? You should be able to make a better case for yourselves for trying to put your White House in the hands of an incompetent, arrogant Obama.

    As far as the Republicans wanting Hillary to overturn the supers and put forth Hillary as the nominee that is not their dream because they would lose in a landslide. McCain will only win with the support of former Hillary supporters since they know that Obama will be a disaster.

    Hillary is doing all she can to see that Obama is elected but she will be blamed for his failings no matter how much support she gives. He is not electible and the democrats need to wake up to that fact.
