Skeleton closet.
My brother (a republican) told me today that it was way too early for the Republican attacks saying Hillary's a lesbian. He said it's because she scares them.

He said they'll dredge up every skeleton in the Clinton closet and rake her over the coals by November.

What are some of those skeletons, and what can be done for damage control?

I heard Vince Foster mentioned in the last day or two.

13. Agreed.
God, if you're reduced to the "Hillary is a lesbian" thing, you're really, really desperate. She'll have no trouble whatsoever dealing with this stuff.

3. My brother in Northern Georgia
says people there told him they will kill Obama.

He hates where he lives now.

8. I'm sorry to say, I live in N. Ga. and I don't doubt what your brother said.
I've lived in SC, TX, PA, and GA. They are still fighting the racial wars in all 3 of those Southern States! There was a day I refused to go to work because I would have had to drive by a place where the KKK was holding a rally in SC. SC is always flaunting the confederate flag, but believe me, it's also still a popular thing in Ga & TX too. I had a very good friend of mine (and a good Dem.) say to me "In an election that the Dems couldn't possibly lose, what do they do? Put up a woman & some black guy! They're throwing a perfect opportunity away!" He also said "You KNOW nobody in Ga. is ever going to vote for either one!"

I hate it, but other than responding to each person I talk to, I don't know what I can do about it.

14. It's really a pretty nice place...as long as you don't talk politics.
I honestly haven't met anyone who wasn't a nice person or was mean to me...unless I said something political, and we've lived here 8 years. Even the fundies have given me a pass when I tell them I'm a Catholic, and that was always considered a cult here.

I'm always talking politics! I can't imagine having to keep that to myself.

27. This stupidity and ignorance riles me. Tell your "Fundie" acquaintances that the Catholic Church
HAPPENS to be known as the MOTHER CHURCH. AS in---ORIGINAL CHRISTIAN CHURCH.

That, indeed, EVERY Protestant SECT since Martin Luther can be considered an aberrant CULT, if actual HISTORY means anything.

End of lapsed-Catholic rant.

9. I'd be on the phone turning them in to the secret service. He has them already apparently for good
reason. Then move.

17. my husband seriously asked me the other night "What will the Dem Party do if their candidate is
assassinated before the election?"

he is quite concerned Obama won't make it to November if he's the candidate.

4. She knows that George Bush deserted his National Guard Unit
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 06:32 PM by SpiralHawk
and that he failed America on 9/11 by going AWOL again, sitting on his keester and doing NOTHING even though he'd been informed twice that America was under attack.

I am sure the anti-American republicon homelanders will throw that at her: the sin (to the republicon homelander 'mind') of being an informed citizen...

5. I honestly don't think that will work for the Pubs.
They did EVERYTHING possible to destroy both Clintons for 8 years, and in fact have continued to try to blame EVERYTHING since on them too, but it simply hasn't worked. Bill is still very popular, and Hillary is more popular today than she was a year ago. The American people were sick of hearing that crap back in the 90's and they're not going to respond kindly to the Pubs for bringing it up again!

18. lots of made-up bullshit, just like they'll make up about any candidate
republicans spent $70 million dollars investigating the Clintons, and couldn't come up with anything beyond Bill's lying about a blow job.

After originally investigating the Clintons having lost money in a real estate scheme, they moved on to investigating their having a friend that committed suicide, misplacing billing records, who they invited to spend the night at the White House and something about the travel agency they used. That's all that I can remember, but I'm sure there is more.

Anything dirty about Hillary Clinton has already floated to the top.

20. Yes, but the public won't we as willing to believe lies now.
Voters are fed up with the Republican Party. In 2004, the war in Iraq made it hard for alot of people to vote for a Democrat. This year, however, the war in Iraq, the economy, the corruption, etc. will make it much easier to vote Democratic. The Swiftboat gang won't have as much effect this time around.

22. Well, don't forget she's the AntiChrist
There's a who subculture of sixtoed inbred retarded goobers who have been told she's the AntiChrist since 1992. They see her run for president as another step in Satan taking over the world.

I wish I was exaggerating, but I'm not. I've heard people say this.

23. Most, if not all, the Clinton skeletons have been dredged up
for years and years and years. The pubs prolly have many more skeletons that can be dug up. Beat them at their own game.



Peace:thumbsup:

26. check out your local craigslist politics page
for the attacks that they will use on Obama and Clinton.
It is just more of what WILL come.
You can count on it.
