Clintons to Destroy Democratic Party
I'm losing any remaining respect I had for Bill Clinton as the minutes go by. I thought he was a smart former President but he's showing otherwise.
And do we really want to elect him again if his judgment is already going senile? Yes, we are electing him by voting for Hillary. He has taken over the Hillary Clinton campaign and he'll do the same in the White House. After wondering about that for some time, the answer is obvious. He's in control. Hillary is turning into "just the first lady" again.
She wouldn't be a known name at all or even a Senator without her marriage to Bill Clinton. So how is it that she would be the first woman President? She would be the first woman President that another man allowed. That doesn't count. She wouldn't be there if not for a man. So I'm surprised that any feminist would defend or support her in this way.
And they have apparently hired Karl Rove for their campaign. Suppressing votes, slandering opponents records, making up lies, inserting subtle words in here and there, "extremely young African-American" instead of just another opponent. Shame, shame, shame. Anything they can do to win. So then Karl can help the Republicans beat her which won't be hard. She is the only thing that can unite the Republicans and give incentive for people to get out and vote....against her.
Hillary Clinton is the only way the Democrats can lose the White House again.

Michigan, Press 4 for English
Amusings from another night in 2008.
I was born and raised in Michigan but I have been gone over a dozen years now. It's not the state I new when I was there.
Michigan voted for Mitt Romney, the corporate candidate. He is the guy who represents the gutting of the the American company and it's factory jobs. But he talks about it so people vote for him. He is also from Michigan. He also, for the second time in the race, went against normal protocol and decency when he came out for his speech as others were speaking. Normally, the third person comes out, the second and then the winner. Romney is strategically going against this decency and cutting others off. He did so in Michigan even as his campaign was on the phone with McCain saying it's okay to go out and talk. Says a lot for how he'll run the country doesn't it?
7% of Michigan people voted for Fred-my-writers-are-on-strike-Thompson and Rudy-911-turrets-syndrome-Guliani. 7% is also the current unemployment rate in Michigan. The highest in the US.
McCain was rejected for several reasons.
McCain talked about global warming. Not a good Republican topic. Republicans believe strongly in Hell so it's not a big deal that we are getting warmer. Bush tried to take us there faster and many in the party wants to continue on that path. The Republicans want to keep us in a war in the hot Middle East deserts so we need to adjust our body temperature. Well, for at least a hundred years. Well, at least until the Rapture. Or maybe until every bit of oil is drilled up and sold to us suckers in America. And Michigan also has the Great Lakes. No worries, mate. Since we won't have jobs, we won't need the beef from all those dying cattle throughout Australia.
McCain talked about fuel efficiency. Republicans don't want to hear about that. The party believes they will share in the big oil jackpot. Just like they think those tax cuts are really benefiting themselves. Only the executives really win in the game of oil and tax cuts but that fact hasn't trickled down yet to the common folk. We wouldn't need many taxes if we stayed home and took care of ourselves in the US. Michigan also would have more jobs and be in better shape if they thought about fuel efficiency sooner....Say sometime in the last thirty years.
McCain talked about green initiatives and new technology. Republicans want oil and sand. Michigan wants big old dirty jobs back. They don't want sparkling clean jobs. They don't want to be an early leader in new jobs. They want the seventies back. They want big old cars that eat gas and rust out rapidly in the Michigan winter salt. They want to be paid $20 an hour to sweep the floor with full benefits at the auto plants. And if they can't have that, they'll have nothing.
McCain is not the answer either. And really, no President is the answer. They can't do anything good by themselves. Look at our current elected idiots. We all want to hang the hat of our own mistaken beliefs and lack of history knowledge on one person. We want to live in our own little world protected by SUVs and mobile media devices while believing all is good as along as someone else is suffering more than ourselves. We believe we have the right to make a few people rich as we try to police the world.
Here's a thought. Hire our own people, build our own stuff, buy our own stuff. We need to stop listening to people like Mitt Romney telling us we need open markets to sell our stuff to the world. What stuff? Factory production is said to be down to 12% of what it was twenty years ago. And even that sounds high to me. Do you see many USA Made items in Wal-mart, Target or K-Mart? Can you even find any? Do you see much produce in the grocery store from a nearby farm? Even our canned beans come from China!
The Reagans, Bushes and Clintons sold us out. They have taken money for themselves and associates and turned us into a shell of what we once were. Executives that used to make $150,000 a few years ago now make millions. We are top heavy with bloodsuckers and running low on blood. We can't survive selling each other (imported) coffee, toxic fast food (majority of beef comes from outside the USA) and Oreo cookies. It's time Americans wake up and take our country back while we can. Before our own answering machines tell us "Press 4 for English" in a language we can barely understand.

Team Politics
The McCain Thompson duo is interesting. Fred Thompson once was part of McCain's campaign and is his friend. So he stays in the race despite pulling low numbers in various states. He attacks Mitt Romney where he is McCain's leading opponent. And he is attacking Mike Huckabee where he is McCain's leading opponent such as in South Carolina. So is Fred Thompson running for himself or his friend John McCain who can give him a cushy job in government where he doesn't have to work very hard?
McCain and Huckabee have been friendly helping each other beat Mitt Romney in Iowa and New Hampshire. McCain can now stay friendly while having his own friend in Thompson beat up on Huckabee. He doesn't take the negative heat but benefits from the attacks. And Mitt Romney is pretty much by himself in the race. He only has the corporations behind him. He is from Michigan so there is no better choice for some. Would you rather be fired by a faceless corporation or fired by the corporation given incentives by one of your own? Either way, he'll continue to help corporations sell Michigan out. It just depends whether Michigan residents want a familiar name to do it.
On the other side, Obama and Edwards both want Hillary Clinton to be knocked out of the race. And in previous times, it seemed like Richardson, Dodd and Biden were working to defend Clinton. But it's only a team for the moment. Eventually the Richardson camp was suspected of teaming with Obama's camp and throwing his support in caucuses over to them. But that could also happen on various state and local levels. There are really only two teams on the Democratic side. Those for Hillary and those against. No matter how much we love a family, do we really want thirty years of just two families running the United States? We're not supposed to be run by royal families but it sure looks like it.

Hillary Tears Up
I found Hillary tearing up a bit and almost had some sympathy for her. But I also thought about the tough women out there that must be cringing and yelling at that scene. She probably lost more people than gained with that one. I don't want a President crying at a State of the Union or any other public event for that matter.
But then she goes on the attack. And attacks just aren't going to work. It's too late for that. She needs to keep promoting herself instead of attacking others for some of the same positions she has had.

Mitt Romney Is A Moron In A Suit
"Don't make the pharmaceutical companies into the bad guys. " They are trying to do good work, says Mitt Romney at January 5th's debate.
What a moron. Tell that to the people they rip off every year. They only bother to do good work so they can make more money.
He may be a successful business person but based on the last few months of stupid comments, I can't figure out how he could sell a glass of lemonade and make money. I know he is a successful business person but either himself or his staff is terrible at giving him talking points. He changes too often (not FOR change) on so many things. He needs to get in touch with people and stop defending corporations. I've heard him do that many times on C-Span as well. It just sounds terrible as most people don't have much sympathy for big companies that sent their jobs away.
