She obviously knows she cannot win. She couldn't care less about the Dem party. What she is doing is taking every opportunity to bring Obama down so McCain can win this year, leaving her the next apparent Dem candidate in 2012.

What is particularly interesting is what is going on with respect to the 2000 election where the oft-made liberal claim is that Bush "stole it" despite the will of the people.
It is now mathematically impossible for Clinton to win the nomination. So, the strategy seems pretty clear, go to the convention and charge that Obama is not "presidential" despite the voice of the people.
Ah, liberals. Gotta love 'em. Things must be one way one day, but then later when it no longer suits them, thier previous view is out the door.
Clinton has used the line "The people have spoken" many times, particularly with regards to Iraq. Now the word of the people doesn't seem to matter that much. Thus the empty and ever changing stance of a liberal. We can only grow the way the wind blows.

Popular vote doesn't elect a president, electoral vote does. Bush won that, fair and square. Constitutionally, he won the presidency.
If we elected a president by popular vote, 2 or 3 large (populous) states could name the president; the rest of the country be damned. The electoral system is there for a good reason, and it worked perfectly. People need to get over it.

The votes were recounted by several independent agencies, most of which were liberal leaning. Bush won Florida in every single recount.
All Gore had to do is win his home state, he couldn't even do that.

You're more disillisioned every day. What evidence do you have that Obama is a "true socialist" or anti-american? You have none. Just typical paranoid blabber.
You oviously have the IQ of a moron. Obama has co-sponsored a bill in the Senate to give away $845 billion to the UN for them to "fight poverty". This amounts to $2,817. per person in the US or for a family of four it equals to $11,267 per family. Now if that is not Anti-American then I don't know what is. Most of these countries which will get aid in the name of the UN are anti American. That is "socialism" pure and simple taxing the "rich" countries with a huge cost burden for us to give to the "socialist" poor countries with no private enterprise like in Africa where the goverment runs everything through graft and corruption. You just keep with your garbage mouth and name calling.

That amounts to a check of over $3,000 to every man, woman and child in the US. That's $12,000 for every family of four in the US.

I'd rather pump some dollars to the UN and let them take the heat. Actually, less dollars and still let them take the heat. When middle eastern governments allow nut jobs to crash into buildings you simply go over and level every building they have. Problem solved. Let the UN figure out what to do internally and let the people over there plant IED's blowing each other up. If you think the US needs a couple oil-fields for the trouble, take a few.

Well sys some days you are really ignorant also. The Democratic controlled Congress has authorized every penny spent in Iraq. We are fighting terrorism over there and just can't simply pull out and that's why we are still there. I personally wish we never went there but we are there and yes in my opinion Bush should have never taken us there and I felt that way from the get go and not just later.
At least there is a reason for the money spent. There is no justifiable reason whatsoever for the money which Obama wants to give to the UN so they can take the credit to help mostly our enemies in this war on Global Poverty. It will be money taken from us when we can't afford it, to be spent as the UN not the US sees fit. Talk about a crime if there ever was one. I am outraged that he or anyone else would even suggest this much less co-sponsor a bill in the US Senate to do this. Try and justify that instead of saying Iraq, what about this bill pending in the US Senate that Obama wants passed. You can't and no one else can either. It is impossible to defend or argue for.

He also claimed to have proof of an Obama - Rev. Wright sexual affair, which is why Obama hung around him and supported him for so long. Hannity pressed him on his proof but the dude said he would release it at a more adventageous time. Hannity blew him off because it was an unsupported accusation, and hurtful to the democratic process. I just caught the end of the interview, and didn't get his name. Apparently he had been on with Shawn before.
I'm sure this was pure BS, but it sure makes me wonder if some pre-convention bombshell is why Clinton is hanging around. If something does go off, then we will know that Clinton is truly evil at heart.

Change in the direction of the war in Iraq...an actual deadline for the beginning of troop withdrawal. Changes to the economy through a different economic plan....the war again is costing this country a fortune besides lives lost. Changes to foreign policy since we've alienated ourselves from alot of the world. Changes from the "BUSH" way of doing things....which like I stated will continue under McCain.
Too generic...be specific. "A different economic plan." What's that? I'll bet it is more taxes taken from what I EARN. "Changes in foreign policy". What's that? Maybe that means appeasing terrorists nations, like Iran. Speaking of Iran, what do you do about them when ya pull all US troops out of Iraq? Do you beg and say "please, pretty please" do not invade Iraq? Maybe the "BUSH" way of doing things sure beats the "change" you seek.

Specific: He's spoken about closing loopholes for tax breaks that the oil companies and other Fortune 500 companies are exploiting. He also has a strong way of dealing with Iran...either they comply with shutting down the nuclear development, or further sanctions will be imposed,and didn't rule out military action.
He can't possibly be worse at foreign policy than we have right now. We attacked a country due to them having WMDs, found none, and created a civil war in a country that was stable under it's dictator,even if we don't agree with his actions. We did this AGAINST the advise of our allies and the UN. Personally I could give a rat's a$$ if Iran invades Iraq, when the dust settles that region might be better off. We need to become far less dependent on oil.....which Obama is for the development of alternative fuels.

Whec, check out his link http://www.theobamafile.com/ It has more damming info on Obama they you could imagine. Check out the section on "Politics" it has some real heavy stuff.
I don't think that that many Republicans are going left as the leaders are and hurting the whole party. Bush, McCain, and a lot of the Senators and Congressmen have crossed the line. I have no solution to the problem other than this may be the result of years of constant bias reporting of the news along with the commie leaning teachers union and their 100% control of public education in the US, leftest professors, ACLU, federal judges, most lawyers vote Democrat by a large percentage, and the PC culture which is destroying free speech and used to silence conservatives because we are perceived to be cruel and uncaring.

What a bunch of pipe dreams..:rolleyes:
He is going to cut loop holes? okay....what holes, how?? He's running for President, so lay it out! He won't cause he is like all Democrats....just talk.. no "Do". Besides, its not like he is gonna cut the balls off his buddies at Wal Mart. Who do you think is bank rolling this farce of a government we have now?
Further sanctions on Iran?....well....whiptee doo!! Tell me, do you think that will work? That was the "please, pretty please" I was talking about.
Iraq violated UN weapon inspections. That is the record. So, until confirmed, THEY HAD WMDS. The United States confirmed they had none, something UN was unable to do. Why? Because they are a joke and guys, like Saddam, knew it.
You might not care if Iran invades Iraq but others do. You think Israel will stand for that? How long do you think we can hold these guys behind the gates? If this happens, I wouldn't blame Israel for going after them. You think it is a mess now in the ME, wait till clowns like Obama take charge.
The world is a dangerous place. Wishing and sanctioning your way out of problems will get us all killed. Think about it.

Whew...that is quite a resume. How did this guy get as far as he has.....oh yeah...the MSM. You sure won't see this on the NBC Nightly News.:(

Smoking the only cure for our dependence on foreign oil will be to kick all the environmentalist out of Congress and that would include all the Democrats and a lot of the Republicans and lift restrictions on oil drilling and nuclear power. Plus repeal all the subsidies on alternate forms of fuel and allow private enterprise to solve our problems and not have more created by big brother.
Obama has the most radical background of any candidate who has ever ran for the office of Presidency. His church, his friends, his family and his voting record like wanting to give all our wealth to the UN. What a joke.

So we should drill here for our own oil..how far will that take us? It WILL run out eventually. And most people don't want nuclear power plants popping up everywhere. Even though there's a very slight risk of a meltdown, it can happen. And the more plants that are built, the higher the risk becomes. And what do we do with all the waste? Yes, it can be re-processed, but there's only so many times you can re-process it. There is going to be waste that we have to put somewhere. Maybe we can put it in your backyard? What we need to do is stop this thinking that we can only focus on one form of an energy source. We need to implement different kinds of energy sources, that make the most sense for different parts of the country. Then WE can become a global energy leader, and the rest of the world can rely on us for a change. Goinf nuclear or drilling our lands for oil is only taking us backwards and not makng any real progress.

Your logic is flawed. All forms of energy production create waste - The difference is that nuclear waste is contained and somewhat recyclable. Only through some catastrophic event can it be released. Waste from fossil fuels and bio-fuels is released into the atmosphere freely.
All forms of energy production should be explored and developed, without respect to politics and special interests.

Yes, all forms of energy create some waste, but the risk of that nuclear waste becoming uncontained is simply to high, no matter how slight the statistical risk is. A meltdown that got out of control would do LOTS of damage to the immediate area. I never said I was against nuclear power, that just can't be the only road we look at going down. There's no flawed logic in that. We need to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, there's plenty of alternatives that are out there.

At this point there's no feasable way Clinton can win the Democratic nomination. She is now hindering the Dem's race to beat McCain. What does it take for her to admit defeat?
It takes whatever we use to get our WIVES to admit defeat!!! LMFAO! I just couldn't resist. :-)

If I were Obama I'd try really hard to make her irrelevant. I wouldn't give her anything she can be successful with and plan on firing her... if he's successful.

Ha......that's easy! Put her in charge of forming a task force for universal health care for all, or improving public education.:p:D
