Clinton to aim at McCain

Hillary Clinton's speech will bring the red meat on John McCain's economic policies.

The letters thread is now closed.

"aim" +"Assassination Plot" = propaganda + comedy gold

You people are shameless.

But hilarious at the same time - just in a creepy way.

It's one thing to bring the red meat ....

but the Democrats in general need to bring the barbeque.

This should be good!

I can't wait to watch it.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 11:55 AM

Looking forward

to watching Clinton put the smack-down on McCain. She can't be too happy (but can't be too surprised either) that McCain is using her words in the primary against Obama.

Obama not just better

She needs to convince her supporters, esp. those who threaten to stay home on election day, that Obama is essential to the future security of the country. It's not just about getting Joe Lunchbox a job or keeping inflation down. The military-industrial complex will have its way if pugnacious, big-talking McCain gets into office; we and the Russians will be lobbing nukes at each other by this time next year.

Now this is what I've been waiting for!

Hillary needs to, and can, rip that fake "maverick" mask off of McSame.

McSame will drop a load in his Depends (TM) after Hillary gets her claws in that worthless old geezer.

This is also a HUGE opportunity for Hillary to undo a lot of the damage she did to herself by going "kitchen sink" negative during the primaries. And even though the repuglicans pretending to be her supports at the convention are not completely the fault of Hillary (hey, scumbag repuglicans will be scumbag repuglicans) she could have done more to make it harder for them to impersonate Democrats at the convention. Everyone saw this repuglican dirty trick coming, (except for the network mcnews organizations).

If she can land some good body shots on old man McSame she can once again enter the good graces of the Democratic party.

If she focuses on herself and her "supporters" and does not rip McCain, and the Democratic candidate were to lose in November then she will, with a lot of justification, be pointed to as a major reason why the Democrats blew it.

rupert_c + calling anyone creepy = kettle calling pot black

but in a really hilarious way repuglicans can't see from their glass houses.

Time to put up or shut up PUMAs

So tonight, your candidate is going to tell you exactly why McCain is against everything she stands for. If you still say you're voting McCain, or staying home, after that, you're not her supporter. You're a loony cultist.

But, we knew that already anyway.

Alright Hillary!

You go girl! United we stand divided we fall.

Aim straight, aim true

Hillary Clinton needs to rip the face off of John McCain this evening. She needs to deliver a scorching address in which she excoriates this double-talking fraud in blunt and unconditional terms. I am not interested in hearing a self-congratulatory paean to her followers or to her primary campaign; that is history.

The focus needs to be squarely on the future of the general election campaign and of the nation. It is not Obama who needs her now, it is all of us.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 01:07 PM

Careful, Hillary

All this talk of face-ripping, etc...listen, we don't want her sounding more ferocious than Obama, give the Republicans a chance to say, "See? They picked the wrong candidate."

Hillary should talk about Barack & Michelle's lousy healthcare "initiatives"

See this article: Obama Camp Has Many Ties to Wife's Employer By Joe Stephens

Washington Post Friday, August 22, 2008; Page A01

Mardge Cohen, MD, said: "In three decades of practice, I've seen thousands of patients denied access to health care in Chicago. I know that piecemeal solutions like the University of Chicago Medical Center plan are insufficient to overcome this problem. Chicago and the U.S. do not need another single-institution initiative. They need, desperately, a single-payer system -- so that hospitals can focus on treating patients and not shuffle them elsewhere."

Meanwhile, back to what really matters. Mrs. O's climactic one-night stand at the convention podium does not mean that Michelle Obama has your best interests in mind.

Sheesh. Why do Americans fall for all the showmanship?

@John762

I am voting for McKinney, not McCain. Commenting on creepiness in the MSM propaganda machine is pretty creepy for the propagandists. So I guess that makes you one?

Or do you just like the aroma and taste?
