Backup Plan: Is Hillary Campaigning to be the Republican VP too?

[Yes We Did]

When Joe Lieberman left the party and became an.. cough cough "independent" I was furious, as were all of us on here.

When Joe Lieberman endorsed McCain and started actually campaigning for him, once again we were all outraged. How could a fellow "democrat" do that to his own party.

What I see in Hillary Clinton now, what I watch her do every day reminds me so much of what Lieberman did.

So, it makes me wonder... Is she really trying to have it both ways? Fine, if you don't want to call it "endorsing" McCain, I can live with that. But you cannot deny the FACT that she has been awfully kind in her references to him lately. And at the same time, in the same breath she slams Obama.

That is not what democrats do. At least none I have ever seen. As a presidential nominee, you do NOT "endorse" your opponent in another party over your competition in your own party.

And the reason this really boggles me, is why she would make these comparisons between her and McCain. It doesn't make any sense, and doesn't help her case.

If it comes down to experience, McCain beats her. He simply has more than she does. Plus, they voted the same way on a lot of key issues; especially the ones pertaining to "national security."

IWR, Kyl-Lieberman, Levin Amendment...

She is giving McCain everything he needs to beat her in a general election. She doesn't want to show us her tax returns now because compared to Obama, they look horrible, but compared to McCain... you could basically flip them and not know the difference.

The other thing that gives me concern is the FACT that both Clinton and McCain have the SAME company running their campaigns. I don't get that. Why on earth would you go with the same company as your competition? Doesn't that seem odd to any of you?

If you listen to the rhetoric coming from both camps you will notice they sound eerily alike. I don't like that. Something is wrong there.

Before you say "Republicans Hate Hillary," just think about it. Would they hate her if she became one of them? I don't think so.

We have seen this, what Hillary is doing, before, and not too long ago. We all thought Lieberman was vying for McCain's VP. Is it such a stretch to think that Hillary doesn't have a backup plan? I don't think it is. And it scares the hell out of me.

I honestly hope I am wrong here, but I don't think I am. Only time will tell. Just remeber, I said it first.

**edit:
I forgot the most important reason: McCain will only be a 1 term president... Setting her up as the front runner in '12.

1. I think McCain/Clinton is more likely than Obama/Clinton

[Yes We Did]

2. What scares me most is it could win, + McCain will be 1 term.

He's too old to try for a second, and that sets Hillary up beautifully in '12.

4. Rush would drop dead and next year McCain

This year is crazy in politics and nothing will suprise me.

5. Just What I Was Thinking nt

[rodeodance]

6. Clinton is a proud Democrat. got it! what a stupid thing to say!

[Henny Penny]

7. Unlike the op it seems. n/t

[Yes We Did]

14. Obama all the way. That's how a REAL democrat votes now.

Only those unwilling to open their eyes cannot see that what Hillary is doing is undemocratic.

[dkf]

8. So why is she praising McCain over Obama?

She's doing a Lieberman. She and Joe are two peas in a pod...losers who won't go away and who turn to the dark side.

[Yes We Did]

13. That don't have an argument for that.

There is no excuse for what she is doing.

[rodeodance]

15. i refuse to chat with illogical posts.

10. Hillary is as much a Democrat as Zell Miller and Joe Lieberman

She loves McCain!

[Yes We Did]

11. She sure doesn't act like one.

Not anymore.

[krkaufman]

19. Sorry, but she's lost that characteristic ...

... when she began campaigning for John McCain.

She's definitely got pride. But it doesn't have anything to do with the Party.

3. I hope so

She would be the ruination of the GOP.

They hate her (with some valid reasons), they're not real happy running McCain either, so she would be the perfect way to splinter the GOP into a hundred different pieces.

[Yes We Did]

12. They wouldn't hate her if she became one of them.

Plus she'd take her diehard supporters, just like Lieberman did.

18. But they'd win in the General

You're ok with that? I thought Bush was supposed to have ruined the GOP.

9. Hillary routinely has prayer breakfasts with "The Fellowship"

one of THE most conservative Christian groups in D.C.

She isn't a member, as far as I know... but she does meet with them frequently.

[Neshanic]

16. Uh oh, our secret plan has been revealed. Contact Hillary and

tell her to go to plan 5.

[info being]

17. I think you are right

[bowens43]

20. Whatever is takes for her to get what is hers..........
