Media Matters::Bill Clinton Right!!!
They keep trying to make the election about The Clinton's...It is about Obama and ALL his undiscovered garbage...divert..accuse..blame...Instead of making shit up about the Clinton's, I think we should be a little more critical of THE OBAMA'S...There IS There..There.


The media proved Bill Clinton right

Speaking in North Carolina last Friday, Bill Clinton talked about a potential general election match-up between Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Bill Clinton's comments were quickly distorted by several news reports; here's what he actually said:

BILL CLINTON: I believe those are the three reasons you ought to be for her: She'd be the best for the veterans, she'd be the best commander in chief, and she would certainly be the best at managing this economy. And finally, according to the evidence today, she's also the most electable. She's running ahead of Senator McCain in Ohio; her opponent's running behind. She is ahead in Florida and Arkansas, a state that voted for me twice, 'cause I was the governor -- they sort of had to, I guess -- and voted for President Carter once. They haven't voted for another Democrat in 44 years. This week's survey in Arkansas: Senator McCain is leading Hillary's opponent by 16 points; Hillary's leading him by 15 points. So she can win this election. And, and, we need to change the direction of this country.

But it won't be an easy race. John McCain is an honorable man, and as all of you know, he has paid the highest price you can pay for the United States, short of giving your life. And he and Hillary are friends; they like and respect each other. They have big disagreements on foreign policy and economic policy, they have taken reluctant Republican senators all over the world to prove that global warming is real but there is a way to deal with it that grows the economy and doesn't shrink it. And we now have a bipartisan majority in the Senate to do something about this. That's the kind of leadership this country needs.

And I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who love this country and were devoted to the interests of the country, and people could actually ask themselves, who's right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics. So that's my argument for her. She'd be the best for veterans, the best commander in chief, the best for the economy, and is the most electable.

6. Hillary does not help veterans
I lost my all my health care benefits due to Bush and Cheney, and Hillary did not lift a finger to stop the screwjob we got. Besides, no one wants another serial liar like Hillary "I dodged sniper bullets" Clinton in the WH.

9. Bill Clinton wrong.
John McCain is not an "honorable man." His having been imprisoned and tortured as a POW does not make his decades of support for deadly hard-right policies honorable.

I know the Big Dawg is just showing professional courtesy, but he is demonstrably incorrect here. If there's an honorable Republican leader out there somewhere, it ain't McCain.

10. Obama's noise machine hunts for any minor word combo they can twist into "EEEK!! RACISM!!!"
They're crying "Wolf!!" so often that when McCain & Rove finally do trot out racist crap no one will listen because they've falsely squealed "Wolf!!" too often before.

Aesop was Wright.
