So Hillary fans: do y'all think the repugs are backing her
against Obama because she scares them come November? Or is this more Operation CHAOS?
Or could it be the oligarchs really don't care if it's her OR McLame.

Hillary Inc.

"Everything has been skewed," Clinton says, jabbing her index finger for emphasis, "to help the privileged and the powerful at the expense of everybody else!"
(snip)
"If Clinton really wanted to curtail the influence of the powerful, she might start with the advisers to her own campaign, who represent some of the weightiest interests in corporate America. (snip)

... her inner circle are closely affiliated with unionbusters, GOP operatives, conservative media and other Democratic Party antagonists." Eli Attie, a former speechwriter to Vice President Al Gore.

Ah, the tragic choices for a gun-loving, bible-thumping, populist progressive! She feels your pain!

2. Yes, she has a secret fund from the Cayman Islands that GHWB personally monitors.
I read it here.

6. That's Rush Limbaugh's attempt to disrupt the Democratic primaries.
He's encouraging his dittoheads to commit felonies by falsely registering as Democrats so they can vote in the primaries for Hillary, because it keeps the Dems fighting each other.

10. Who knew?
Thanks for the info. I am not online much anymore and I miss a lot of this kind of thing.

Sadly, as far as I can see, there are plenty of Dems fighting each other without any help from Rush or anyone else these days.

:(

18. Not all of them are dittoheads.
Some of them are trying to disrupt the Democratic primaries, by voting for Hillary.

There are some other Republicans, which I prefer to refer to as "future Democrats" who are genuinely pissed off, disgruntled, and shall I say, bitter, at the bad behavior of the GOP, and are supporting Obama because they genuinely believe he's the best man for the job.

4. Obama
Voted for Dick Cheney's energy plan that gave over $ 25 billion in taxpayer money to Big Oil.

I thought of that today when I paid $ 3.48 for a gallon of gas.

Mr. Obama certainly doesn't feel my pain.

Maybe when he's done calling Pennsylvanians a bunch of idiots he can explain his vote for Big Oil.

16. There were alternative energy subsidies attached to the bill
that would benefit Illinois. Plus there was a 3 billion dollar spill tax appended.
It's called politics (the devil is in the details)

17. Whenever a Republican defends and backs a Democrat that should tell you they are up to no good.
The Repubs don't want to take on Obama in the fall. They want Clinton because they know she will lose.
