No, No, No, You Can't Give Hilliary A Pass On This.........
everyone knows that this is precisely what Hilliary was hoping that Obama would do and the Hilliary campaign would have jumped on it so fast they would have drummed Obama back to his childhood.

I don't care that RFK Jr. is ok with this. If she hasn't already she needs to call Barack up or better yet Michelle and the girls up and apologize to them directly.

I'm sorry for this reaction - but I just woke up and heard someone on MSNBC attribute this as a 'gaffe' because she's exhausted from the long campaign. This was no gaffe. This has been a theme of hers for extending this long campaign for a long time now. This was calculated and purposeful. She knew what she was saying. Even Terry Macullife has been eluding to 'anything can happen'.

She needs to 'suspend', 'dropout' or whatever they want to call it - she has gone too far - this was the last straw.

Her campaign is on life support as is - and she pulled her own plug.

The fat lady has sung and she was the fat lady. (go ahead and flame me for that one) I'm sorry - I no 'we' tolerated a lot during this hard fought campaign - but this is absolutely the last straw. It's over - and if she doesn't know it herself - then - she is not fit to be OUR president and certainly now she shouldn't be the VP after making a statement like that.

She has no conscious.

1. This was at least the third time she speculated on an assassination

that might pave her way to the Presidency. Gaffe my ass.

4. Hillary 'assassinates' her own campaign. Can I say 'ASS..ASS.I...NATE?

2. Mostly the Hillary campaign is finalized. My take is to move forward to contractive things like

addressing McCain. Whether she was right or wrong it was probably the wrong time to say it and so rather than use our energy to dwell on this we can use it to keep the campaign going. The primary for me is now old news.

5. She has a conscious, just no soul
This was most obvious during the ABC sham of a debate. Notice how she was staring out into nowhere when she dropped the Hamas and Farrakhan bombs. She knew what she was doing was wrong, yet she did it anyway. I guess the Republican attack machine has left her bereft of a soul.

6. Can't be a gaffe
when on a prior occasion she repeated nearly verbatim the same words and on still a third occasion again with similar wording.

she knows exactly what she is saying

her big money backers who they have promised so much to are now coming down to roost on her; those boys don't like the fact that the Clinton's did not deliver on her "sure thing"; she is desperate as is her husband; what now? we are evidencing her crazy wild behavior; they can't pay up to the loan sharks and are about to be knee capped.

I say thank goodness we are witnessing the death of the DLC and the Clintons along with them.

7. the only way you're correct is if you're the one speaking for her
that's something Obama folks have tried to do the entire campaign.

8. The damage is done...
"someone on MSNBC attribute this as a 'gaffe' because she's exhausted from the long campaign..."

I have seen this excuse before and it always brings to mind the 3 a.m. call video about who is more prepared to answer that call. If the campaign has her so exhausted, which I'm sure it does, what will the presidency do to her when the safety of our country is at stake? Right now, she's just trying to figure out a way to kick Obama out of the way....if you get my drift.

No, the fat lady screwed up...and it wasn't the first time she said the same thing. She screwed up and has now lost any chances she might have had for VP. Plain and simply.

I'm thoroughly disgusted.

9. "She's exhausted and didn't choose her words well" was the new meme from defenders yesterday
and I guess it is today, too. Pat Buchanan was using it. But he wasn't yelling it this time. He sounded more like a defeated man. He didn't have the good head of outrage whipped up that he does when you can tell he truly believes in his argument's legitimacy.

They're grasping at straws and trying to find her a graceful out. But there is none.

They are claiming exhaustion for a woman who did an ad that specifically said that at 3 AM, she would be better at dealing with a world crisis than would her rival.

Now we know better. At 3 AM, no one better wake her up, because she'll be exhausted, and who knows what she might mention over the phone?

11. She harmed herself greatly though.
The furor is crazy now...even the apolitical are talking about it.

12. answering questions
There was no need to go into such detail on why she won't get out of the race. The best reasoning has been previously brought up, and that is that it has gone this far, why not let the remaining states have a vote?

Edited on Sat May-24-08 09:18 AM by ikojo
striking back when Hillary and her surrogates try to swift boat him. If he is the nominee, will he run as weak a campaign against the Republicans? Hillary has been beating up on Obama for months and he just sits back and takes it, even compliments her! OH please! Dude..your political birthplace was in Chicago! You KNOW how to fight back and strike hard!

Call Hillary on her Wal-Mart board membership
Call Hillary on her support of NAFTA
Call Hillary on her support of out sourcing American jobs
Call Hillary on her divisive politics

Call Hillary on a lot of Republican ideas but just DO NOT call her to be your VP candidate. Send her back to her adopted home of Chappaqua NY.

14. It's not worth his effort
to fight back against Hillary. She is perfectly capable of torpedoing herself, as recent events have shown. He is winning without having to go negative against her, making him the gracious winner in the process. Now McSame, he is in for a bruising.
