Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, March 19, 2008

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton announced two superdelegate pick-ups on Tuesday, including a big one from Representative John Murtha of Pennsylvania, her first burst of super-delegate good news since her March 4 victories in the Ohio and Texas primaries.

Ah, poor John. We hardly knew ye.

Now you will be slimed by wild-eyed Obamites as a Satan-worshipping Hillary Shill, and no good American or true Democrat.

More's the pity.

(and less the votes)


"Therefore, I whole-heartedly endorse her candidacy and recommend to all Pennsylvanians, and all Americans, that they vote for Senator Hillary Clinton for President of the United States."

Ha! Spud saw this on the CNN while having dinner and wondered how long before Corky used one of his blog entries for the day on it.

Apparently ...not too long.

Where's the suprise here? The older someone is the more likely they are to vote for Hillary. She has the Depends crowd eating out of her hand.

11 Obama bashing threads and finally you found sommat nice to say about Hills campaign, eh?

If you can't say something nice about Hill say something rotten about her opponent. That's Corky's theory.

It explains why he never sez to much about Hillary, certainly.

Be Well.

King Pork-Snatcher Endorses Queen Porky-Snatch.


King Pork-Snatcher Endorses Queen Porky-Snatch.


That has connotations that make my brain shiver.

Thanks.

-the Depends crowd

As noted, let the sliming begin.

John Murtha hasn't the integrity to have an honest opinion about his choice for President, he has to be in some way negatively caricatured by our friendly neighborhood cartoon character.

If you can't say something nice about Hill say something rotten about her, the more outrageously paranoid and untrue, the better. That's Whipped Taters theory.

Obama whipped.

For some reason, this endorsement doesn't surprise me terribly.

However, I don't think it will matter. It won't be by much, but I'd bet a nickel (if I had a nickel) that Obama will take the PA primary.

Murtha should help a little, but he's also got some baggage for taking so many earmarks over the years. He doesn't help Clinton in an area where she's vulnerable herself. Barring some monumental scandal, Clinton should win Pennsylvania, but I don't expect the margin to make a big dent in Obama's delegate or popular vote lead. He'll gain the losses back elsewhere.

Spot on RCade.

(AP) Shortly after endorsing Clinton, Murtha traveled to Alaska to visit his State's National Guard Unit quick reaction force.

She needed an anti-war figure to come out and support her. This should help her in PA and probably going forward.

Is Hillary still in a net negative position with SDs since Super Tuesday I?

How soon will we see Murtha's articles of impeachment?

Oh, Sorry. That is S-O-O-O-O 2006

wild-eyed Obamites - Corky

Have you seen Hillary's eyes??? Maybe she is wild-eyed for Obama now...

-a big dent in Obama's delegate

It doesn't matter how many delegates one has if one doesn't reach the Magic Number needed to win.

If Obama has less than say the 100 delegate or so lead needed to be in any way considered significant in the minds of SDs, and less than 2024 needed to win, then popular vote and winning in the fall become the criteria for SDs.

Murtha, along with the 30+ flag officers who endorse her, helps substantiate HRC's claim to be better prepared to be CinC than Obama.

That should take care of Pennsylvania...

Murtha was right all along. All the USMC generals would go to Murtha for advice and they gave him the real dope of what was happening on the ground. Who do you think I respect -- the liar Bush or the respected USMC veteran John Murtha. That's a no brainer.

It doesn't matter how many delegates one has if one doesn't reach the Magic Number needed to win.

Delegates aren't the end-all-be-all, but if one candidate goes in the Convention with more votes, states and pledged delegates, that candidate should come out of the Convention with the candidacy.

P.S. Corky, I am thinking more and more that Obama is going to have to name Hillary as his VP if he gets the nomination, and not so much if it is the other way around.


That's how it might go, Tax.

But the question is how many more? 1 more delegate? 2 more? 3 percent more? 5 percent?

IF they are within a few percent of each other in all these categories, and no one has reached the Magic Number, it will be totally at the digression on SDs as to who can best win in the fall.

According to rules.

And of course, to stay topical, John Murtha's endorsement helps HRC not only in Penn, but also with anti-war types anywhere who may have been on the bubble.

I completely agree, and I think this takes some sting out of her 2002 vote.

Hillary will not accept the VP job.

Well, Corky, as much as I was adamant there be no more Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton I have to admit after what's happening with Mc"bomb bomb Iran"Cain and Obama and his beloved anti-American preacher that Hillary is looking better and better. I still can't stand any of the three of them, though. But if I have to pick one -- as of today it might be Hillary. GOD HELP THIS COUNTRY.

Hillary will not accept the VP job.

If it means the dems taking the WH, I think she would take the job. Moreover, I would imagine she would have a bigger role than other Veeps of the past - kind of like a Big Dick Cheney.

Murtha's endorsement carries a lot of weight with me. I'm pro-USMC to the core.


Process of elimination, eh Chris?

If you are thinking of voting for Hillary, then she has a chance to carry men in this race in better numbers than previously thought.

One more time... if Billary goes to the WH we are looking at two years of Clinton shenanigans followed by a Republican congress who will have impeachment on the table --- in spades !

"in spades !"

That's racist.

YoMeLIB your such a f*cking....Sorry you are correct;-) it will be 1994=2010.

I still think my strategy for this election cycle is the best: Write my own name in; watch from a bunker when everybody else tears themselves and each other apart when "their guy" doesn't get the nom/job because "the other guy" is a piece of crap; rebuild with a much smaller population base.

Now where did I put that spare bunker...

f you are thinking of voting for Hillary, then she has a chance to carry men in this race in better numbers than previously thought.

I'm a white dude and if my choice is between her and Crazy Grandpa Pee-Pants I am definitely pulling the "bitch" lever and not even holding my nose while doing it (and this Murtha endorsement helps me do so).

P.S. Corky, after some thought I think she has to include Obama if she gets the nod if she thinks she is going to need the black and elite vote come November. Of course, I can see her camp saying, "we don't want to touch this Wright fella."

Billary isn't gonna get nominated. The threat of race riots is enough to scare all the Dem chiefs into pissing their pants and handing over the nomination...Just like they intend to hand over whatever Al-Qaida asks for.

It won't matter...they're gonna lose the election.

"in spades !"

That's racist.

Thanks... I sure need a laugh !

Can you imagine McCain Vs Clinton...
it would be the biggest joke ever perpetrated on this nation.

-P.S. Corky, after some thought I think she has to include Obama if she gets the nod


I think you are correct, sir.

Like I always say, sometimes....

Clinton/Obama 08!!
16 Years is better than 8!

I'll even broker a deal for them. HRC has to resign at the end of 7 years, BHO gets 9.

Corky,

Delusional.


Nice description of the race so far, Jonny Boy.

What I described should fit right in, lmao.

Obama is damaged goods and his speach yesterday did nothing but to solidify the 20% of the country that is already fanatically behind him. I find it kinda funny that both Bush and Obama have ~20% of the population that is willing to suspend reality to place their guy in a good light.

Obama's momentum is gone and he has not even won the nomination yet. If you think this is the end of Wright - remember Obama still insists he never heard these kinds of comment - then you have a hole in your head. The Republicans are laughing as Wright was a softball - wait until they ramp up serious race baiting and negative campaigning....and that does not even include Rezko or the other lurking issues in Obama's past.

If you are angered by this email, then you are part of the Obama 20% - you now have something in common with BUSHLOVER2....

I still can't see Hillary taking it, unless she stops going negative. It may be too late, but I do agree if she does win the only way not to piss off what is now the majority of the party who supports Obama off is to have him as VP. If he wins, will he choose her as VP?

It's funny you speak of damaged goods Jacque, when I hear people comparing his latest speech to the "I have a dream" MLK speech.

Talking to the American people like adults about the race problem, that makes you damaged goods? I don't see it.

- If he wins, will he choose her as VP?

She will turn him down and run again in 2012.

Nor do I think Obama will extend her the opportunity. He'll be smart not to. Otherwise, one or two days after his inauguration, he will be found dead from an apparent suicide.

You may be right, but if so, it's a pretty sad commentary on the role of race in this election.

When Dr. King was killed on the balcony of a Memphis motel on April 4, 1968, Ms. Rodham was devastated. "I can't take it anymore," she screamed after learning the news, her friends recalled. Crying, Ms. Rodham stormed into her dormitory room and hurled her book bag against the wall. Later, she made a telephone call to a close friend, Karen Williamson, the head of the black student organization on campus, to offer sympathy.

Ms. Rodham, who met Dr. King after a speech in Chicago in 1962, had admired his methodical approach to social change, favoring it over what she considered the excessively combative methods of groups like the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee, or S.N.C.C., pronounced snick.After Dr. King's assassination provoked riots in cities and unrest on campuses, Ms. Rodham worried that protesters would shut down Wellesley (not constructive). She helped organize a two-day strike (more pragmatic) and worked closely with Wellesley's few black students (only 6 in her class of 401) in reaching moderate, achievable change -- such as recruiting more black students and hiring black professors (there had been none). Eschewing megaphones and sit-ins, she organized meetings, lectures and seminars, designed to be educational.
www.nytimes.com

I almost snipped the part about crying and throwing her bookbag against the wall because it begs for derision, but I give her credit for that. I grew up in a white family in the 1960's, and while there were a lot of tears shed for Kennedys, there was an endless list of thinly-veiled racist apologia where King was concerned -- "he may mean well, but is creating strife," etc. etc. Hillary was way out in front on this.

She was raised in a Republican family and began her political activism as a Rockefeller Republican (moderate to liberal on social issues, financially conservative), but left the party for good after Nixon's nomination.

Along with other interns, Ms. Rodham was invited by Representative Charles Goodell, a moderate New York Republican, to help Gov. Nelson Rockefeller's last-ditch campaign to defeat Mr. Nixon for the Republican nomination. At the party's convention in Miami, she met Frank Sinatra, shared an elevator with John Wayne and decided to leave the Republican Party for good. "She was particularly furious at how she felt Rockefeller had been trashed by the Nixon people," Mr. Schechter said.

"I'm done with this, absolutely," Mrs. Clinton recalled thinking upon hearing Mr. Nixon's acceptance speech. She characterized the Republicanism of her youth as one of fiscal conservatism and social moderation, and at odds with what she viewed as the intolerance of Miami.

"All of a sudden you get all these veiled messages, frankly, that were racist," Mrs. Clinton said of the convention. "I may not have been able to explain it, but I could feel it."


Of course, I can see her camp saying, "we don't want to touch this Wright fella." -- Tax

She hasn't, though. She could be exploiting this in all sorts of subtle ways, and instead only applauded Obama for speaking out on race. Very consistent with the commitments she has made through her life.

"It's funny you speak of damaged goods Jacque, when I hear people comparing his latest speech to the "I have a dream" MLK speech."

The only people doing that comparison are the same 20% that would have made the same comparison had he farted into a microphone for a half hour. Like I said, he did a good job solidifying the 20% of the country that was already firmly in his back pocket. He did nothing for people that were supporting Hillary or were on the fence - white men in particular are fleeing to McCain. Once Obama gets his clock cleaned in PA, then maybe you will wake up....or, more likely you will be like the 20% that support Bush and Iraq and call it a successful endeavor despite the rest of the world laughing at you.

MOOOOOOOOOOOt. BO has it wrapped up my friends. Any bets;-) Billary the w(b)itch of the east or the MAN with hope....

How is it that you seem to think that the only people who support him are these '20% ers', yet he has more popular vote and more delegates than Clinton? How are you get from more than 50 percent of people voting for him to only 20% supporting him? There seems to be a logical disconnect.

That same disconnect follows, as I have people both left and right make the comment on his speech being as memorable as the MLK 'I have a dream' speech.

How do you explain the disconnect between your reasoning and the apparent reality (that is Obama has more support than Clinton)?

Corky, Clinton has a lot of support, yet she is trailing in popular vote and delegates. It's getting a little redundant now.

Yes Clinton and Obama have a lot of support. Obama has more new support, Clinton more old. I get it, we get it. More people have to actually vote.

Now the discussion on republican influence on the voting is quite another topic, and one at least I don't feel is discussed enough.

I was referring to the GOP House member who shot a watermelon in his backyard to simulate Vince Foster's death, 'Tard-o.
