Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, May 24, 2007

Aides to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) scrambled late yesterday to control the fallout from a leaked memo advocating that she pull her campaign out of Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses, where she is trailing in polls.

I didn't know she was trailing in anything except looks.

Fold up the tents, Hillary. Nobody wants you except Willard Romney.

What a pathetic article. Not only do they not provide the language used in the memo, they focus almost entirely on the excuses being given by the Clinton campaign. What a fair newspaper the WP is.

Another leaked memo?

"Skip Iowa"?

Sounds like a friend of Scooter Libby.

Sounds like Hill's got plumbing problems.

Drip drip drip.

It's the slow leaks that are the most annoying.

Trailing in Iowa and by enuff to make it seem worthless to go there and stump?

Or is this just realistic recalibration in light of the new and improved caucus schedule?

Hill should call a plumber here but prolly not the same ones Nixon used.

Be Well.

Not to worry Joe, I will be very surprised if she makes it past the primaries.

If she does it will be really close in getting a Republican back in office.

The DNC is not being too smart for the last several months.

Could have gone for the throat but in stead have been big toeing it showing they have almost always fall in line with the white house.

The two parties are a waste of time.

"The two parties are a waste of time."

Couldn't agree more.

Let's see, "unnamed sources" have been behind leaks on a large number of negative issues relating to Edwards over the past several weeks and now a memo is leaked that HillBilly may skip Iowa, where Edwards is leading her by 8 percentage points.

More then a coincidence?

I said it months ago, the Dems are going to hammer each other in the months leading up to the primary while the GOP sits by, quietly taking notes.

It's gonna get UGLY.

Sounds like Hill's got plumbing problems.

Well, if you have ever seen her in a skirt, it is readily apparent that she has had a "broken toilet" for years.

HILLARY CLINTON OKAYS 'SANCTUARY CITIES" AND TIES COPS' HANDS ALL OVER THE NATION FROM FIGHTING CRIME AND/OR ILLEGAL ALIEN GANGBANGERS

ms-13 -- the worst illegal alien international gang in the USA can now run amok freely in every "sanctuary city across the USA because with her vote today Hillary tied the hands of every single law enforcement officer.

It was a 49 (NO) - 48 (YES) vote whether or not to allow law enforcement to question a criminal's legal status in this country.

Just watched it on C-SPAN. A senator had put up a bill saying that law enforcement should be allowed to not enforce immigration laws (that's ICE's job) but be able to ask a criminal his legal status after he has committed a crime -- like murder, maybe?

Los Angeles is a "sanctuary city" and our cops' hands are tied. If they see a gangbanger with a rap sheet of felonies a mile long and they know he had been ordered by the courts to be deported at least 6 times before, the cops are NOT allowed to question the gangbanger about why he is BACK in the country UNLESS HE IS IN THE MIDDLE OF COMMITTING YET ANOTHER CRIME.

HILLARY - the((((QUEEN))) of national security and protector of U.S. citizens and all law enforcement officers???? HAH!

Hillary was the swing vote and just sided with the illegal gangbangers AGAINST the law abiding U.S. citizens, and gave a green light to making every city in the U.S. a "sanctuary city" for illegal alien gangbangers.

With this little noticed Senate vote on the floor today:

HILLARY IS HISTORY.

Wow...this sure is news, if you're a bit slow to begin with. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Hillary is a fool

Hillary is giving edwards a haircut.

Hillary is giving edwards a haircut?

Now THAT'S a putdown - boy howdee, yessiree! Pretty hard to mount a come back against an intellectual giant like Junior Juvenile Delinquent Jerk 1187.

Thanks for stopping by... again and again and again.

Since when is it holy writ that "thou must win the Iowa primary to be President"?

It is past time we have tiny un-representative (e.g. almost all-white) states decide who becomes leader.

If the memorandum is true, Hillary is far from the first candidate to make a calculation like this. It means nothing other than that there is normal "gaming" going on, which everyone has no choice but to engage in. As long as We The People allow the perpetuation of an absurd process for nominating candidate, we shouldn't pretend to be upset when they try to work with what is there.

And for those who think there is no difference between the two parties, try to imagine where the USA would be today if it was President Gore who took the oath of office in January 2001. One place we would not be is bleeding and bogged down in Iraq.

Alot of the chaff being aimed at Hillary reminds me of the proud lefties in 2000 who stayed "pure" against the "corrupt Gore" by voting Nader and putting a smiling Texan into office.

The two parties are the same? The GOP loves to hear this sort of thing. As long as voter participation rates stay low, a committed right wing can continue to exert power far beyond the actual popularity of their real policy positions.

I would be the last one to say the Democratic Party doesn't have flaws or that I always agree with what its leaders do or say. But it remains the party most hospitable to progressive thinking and as long as that is the case its nominee will have my vote.

She's already telling lies... I say don't even give her the chance to screw us like billy did.
