Conservative columnist: "I'm tired of Bill Clinton"
Edited on Mon Dec-24-07 02:06 PM by antiimperialist


Michael Goodwin, conservative columnist from the 6th largest newspaper in the nation--the New York Daily News, yesterday let his readers know that,
Something was bugging me, but I couldn't figure out what it was. Then it hit me. While I was reading about the campaign, the realization came like a thunderbolt: I'm tired of Bill Clinton.

Tired of his half-truths and full lies about where he stood on Iraq. Tired of his bull, as when he says he'd campaign for Hillary "if we weren't married" and calls her a "world-class genius." Tired of his whining, as when he says the media has been too tough on her and too soft on Barack Obama.


One day he uses the phrase "roll of the dice" to warn against Obama, and soon she's using "roll of the dice" to warn about Obama. The echo chamber happens often enough that if she wins, Hillary could end up being No. 2 in her own administration. Maybe that's the plan.


Read it:

3. Mr. Goodwin should quit and move to a cave
or maybe Ave Maria (is that the name of that religious town in Florida?)

5. If he's "tired" of Clinton's supposed lies
He must be ready to shoot every last GOPer for their REAL, DOCUMENTED lies starting with Bush & Cheenee.

6. I've heard several DUers say exactly the same thing. What does it mean when DUers parrot wingnuts?

7. Who's he kidding,
he'll never tire of flogging Bill Clinton. It was a daily staple for 16 years now. Now he's tired of it? Baloney!

9. I thought they would attack Obama now that he leads IA and NH
I guess I was wrong. Criticism of Obama by conservatives has been mild or nonexistant.
Joe Conason recently wrote an article titled, "Why conservatives love Barack Obama". It's a must-read

10. And we should care what some RW mouthpiece thinks?!
Why, oh why, do 'some people' feel the need to drag GOP garbage into the DEMOCRATIC Underground?

12. It's an illustration of how conservatives want Hillary to lose the nomination
They find Obama a much easy target. If you didn't realize that by now, you are naive.

16. in all fairness, the OP at least points out that Goodwin is a
conservative.

This same exact editorial was posted yesterday without that caveat... and was used by most of the posters in the thread to attack the Clintons.

15. Then perhaps, Mr. Goodwin . . .
You might have the slightest tinge of an inkling about just how tired 75% of the country is of the George W. Bush, and indeed the entire Bush family. Now, I'm sure you're not just some irrational Clinton Hater, so you would never ever think to dismiss me and the other 3/4 of the country that disapproves of George W. Bush so heartily as mere Bush haters, right?
