C'mon Hillary, is it so hard to get your filings done on time?
Just like with the tax returns, wait and wait and wait some more. Did the numbers need massaging? This is not a campaign that would indicate strong leadership is in store with a Hillary Presidency. Obama's campaign has convinced many that he is an able leader, and will be the person ready to go on day one.

2. Pay no attention to the way Hillary has bungled her own campaign.
It has nothing to do with that real world experience she's been touting ... Nothing at all ... Everything will be fine and dandy when the President Fairy sprinkles its glittering dust upon her head ... aaaany day now.

I really wanted to see these. Oh well. In the last couple of hours, I've been reading different boards and seeing posters'input on what types of people/things would make a better president than Bush. These include dead dogs, cats, kid sisters,their own ass, dirty socks, two month old pita bread. Someone should make a thread.

French Fries, Dixie Chicks And ABC: A Frightening Revelation

Does anyone besides me remember when George W. Bush first announced that he was running for President? He came out of nowhere. All anybody knew about him was that he was a governor of Texas and the son of George The First. The press very quickly asked him about his well-rumored drug use, specifically his use of cocaine. I remember it like it was yesterday. Bush said to them in a sarcastic tone, “I don’t have to answer that question” and stalked off. Whoa, I thought. This guy is going nowhere fast. He’s an arrogant snot and doesn’t like to be questioned.

Throughout his campaign, each and every time Bush’s own past conduct or failures were questioned, he would say that he isn’t “into psycho-babble”. And that would be that. In short, people were afraid to question George Bush. Stories of his past were rampant. The stories of his dubious service to our country were everywhere on the internet. The stories of his drunken behaviors were everywhere. People even provided documentation.

It was well-recorded that everything Bush ever touched turned to cr-p. He failed at every business endeavor he ever participated in. He was the only Oil Man in Texas who couldn’t find oil! Who ever heard of a presidential candidate successfully pawning off his use of drugs and alcohol at age 45 as a “youthful indiscretion”? We Democrats wondered why the “press isn’t covering this!”.

To add insult to intellectual injury, no matter how many lies George got caught in and no matter how many gaffs he made, the only thing that mattered to Bush’s sycophants was electing Him. He was their Savior. A week before the General Election, the press decided to “leak” his DWI story. Of course it was too late and had no legs at all.

And let’s face it, it wouldn’t have mattered to his cult-like followers anyways. George Bush could have been caught snorting Coke on camera and they still would have protected him. That’s the nature of a cult-like following. The rest of the Bush failure and the devastation upon America’s economy and reputation is now our own nightmarish history.

Enter Barack Obama. He gets elected as Illinois Senator by beating Alan Keyes. Now as we all know, a cockroach could beat Alan Keyes. Then Obama makes a moving speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. Everybody had a tear in the eye. Even me. Whoa, I said, that was moving! I wonder who that guy is. I never heard of him. The next thing we know, Barack Obama is running for President. As with Bush, nobody knew much about him at all, except that he made a Double-Plus-Good-Duckspeech at a convention and was a first-term Senator with not much in the way of accomplishments in spite of the spin.

Then….suddenly…. Barack Obama was having rallies that appeared to have been organized directly out of the Hitler Youth Corps play book. Children were swooning. People were fainting. College students were chanting. And chanting. And chanting. Sexy young girls with serious boobage were making videos of their sexual fantasies about Barack Obama. Rappers suspended rapping about stabbing their bitches and killing women and cops to rap homage to The One. What an honor. Busloads of young people were pulling up to state caucus sites, hooting and chanting and drowning out or driving away their opponents.

Quietly, in the meantime, people with brains decided to look into this Messiah before committing to his chanting-charisma. After all, history has given us plenty of people with charisma who wreaked havoc upon the world. Records of Obama’s friendships and affiliations with domestic and foreign terrorists and slum lords who committed fraud and bilked the poor in Obama’s district were everywhere, documentation included. His “autobiographical” writings were debunked handily. The red flags were everywhere. Yet…silence in the press. Members of the press were having “tingling sensations” up their leg for Obama instead.

Much of the information not being covered by the press about Barack Obama makes George W. Bush look like the male version of Mother Teresa. But as with Bush, people were afraid to question Barack Obama. To Barack Obama worshippers, as with George Bush worshippers, it just plain doesn’t matter what the man has done or what he hangs around with–or even what his true intentions are. It’s not important to them. He is their Baby Jesus doing the Hope-y Change-y thing. How many things can you find wrong with this picture?

It’s not just about the press protecting Barack Obama as they protected George W. Bush. It’s about the similarity between their “followers”. George W. Bush’s followers were zealots. George never had to get any shit on himself. No sir. George would just have to express displeasure and the machine of zealots kicked in and spewed the slime for him, doing as much damage as inhumanly possible. George didn’t have to get any on himself at all.

When a Dixie Chick expressed her embarrassment at having George Bush as President of the United States, the slime machine kicked in. Dixie Chicks are persona non gratis. Dixie Chicks are bad. Dixie Chicks must not be supported. Dixie Chick records must not be purchased. Dixie Chicks concerts must not be attended. The hatred directed toward the Dixie Chicks by Bush zombies was downright frightening. Could they have killed one of the Dixie Chicks, they probably would have.

These talented people suffered horrible assaults because, right here in America, they did not like the President and that was not only not acceptable, right here in America, but it meant they must be destroyed. It took several years for the Dixie Chicks to recover from the assault.

When George Bush expressed displeasure with France for not supporting his Coalition of the Stupid, Bush sycophants became seriously frenzied. Being basic lockstep ignoramuses who shared the worship of their savior, they went after France. They even boycotted “french fries,” as if they were actually French. In congress, french fries were renamed “Freedom Fries”. We all laughed our asses off at these entranced fools who blindly followed an idiot wearing a suit.

When the press corps attempted to question Barack Obama about his affiliation with the indicted Tony Rezko, he was at first evasive. Then he walked out on them. How many things did you find wrong with that picture? If you are an Obama worshipper, what he did was not only Just Fine but How Dare They Question their Baby Jesus???

When Philadelpha’s Mayor Nutter endorsed Hillary Clinton, his website was inundated with threatening, hateful messages from Obama worshippers. His phones were inundated with hateful calls. Eventually Mayor Nutter had to bounce the emails he received. It was a feeding frenzy. Obama worshippers were not going to have Mayor Nutter get away with not endorsing their Messiah without a great deal of pain and fear. And Barack Obama never had to say a word. Just like George Bush.

At a debate last week, when ABC developed the cajones to ask the questions of Barack Obama that the mainstream press has consistently refused to deal with, the Obama backlash was akin to the Dixie Chicks’ professional assassination. Droves of frenzied, hate-spitting Obama zombies descended upon ABC’s web site to complain. They tied up their phone lines.

They wanted ABC dead, as if ABC were a person. A death threat video directed at George Stephanopoulos was placed on Youtube and thousands of wild-assed, wild-eyed Bush Obama sycophants posted the most vile and hateful remarks they could possibly pull from their bilious guts. It was as if hanging out with domestic and foreign terrorists, collecting money from middle eastern radicals and the PLO, posting the Black Panther website on your campaign site, being called a Savior by the leader of the Nation of Islam, and acquiring an endorsement from Hamas is trivial information about a candidate for the most powerful position in the world.

As I mentioned earlier, it took quite awhile for the Dixie Chicks to recover from the cult-like assault they suffered by Bush Zombies. They responded to their odyssey in the video below.

To Barack Obama, the Obama Cult and the DNC– as well as all other organizations that start with a “D”, this is also our message to you: We will Not be Ready to Make Nice for the vicious, threatening and cruel, sick and filthy assaults upon ourselves and the far more capable candidate, Hillary Clinton. We will point that out to you more effectively in November, should this Plastic Jesus steal a nomination through bullying, conjuring and the threat of violence. Just so you know — we understand how to flip our collective middle finger too. See you in Pennsylvania.
