Name one thing that Bush* did that Hillary wouldn't do.

[LoZoccolo]

I'm not saying that Hillary will act like a Republican or that there's no difference between her and McCain or any of that. She has her own plans and I'm sure they diverge from the Republican Party's plans and are thus better. I'm just saying, is there any particular thing that Bush* did that Hillary would be like "whoah, no way, I would never do that"? I think she would do any of it if it kept her in office for the second term. Again, she probably won't have to, and almost definately won't. But I'm not sure she would hesitate to do any of it if she felt she had to.

[Occam Bandage]

1. Intervene to keep Terri Schiavo alive. Well, that was Congress, but still.

[Occam Bandage]

2. Fucking with EPA reports on global warming.

[Occam Bandage]

3. Vetoing SCHIP.

[Occam Bandage]

4. Attempting to privatize Social Security.

[newmajority]

31. You must not have read her "American Dream Initiative" she wrote for the DLC

Privatizing Social Security is part of that. Of course in DLC fashion they pretty it up with language like "Dream savings account" or some bullshit like that.

[lastliberalintexas]

37. Obama has said "everything" was still on the table

in discussing SS reform. He and Clinton really aren't that different, despite what so many here seem to think.

[LoZoccolo]

5. She would do that. She lies whenever she feels like doing it.

She has not shown an unpropensity for lying.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Sure, she doesn't mind lying. But she has a good voting record on energy issues.

[LoZoccolo]

9. I think she'll continue to have an overall good record on them too.

I'm just saying, take any one thing that Bush* did, and ask if Hillary would be willing to do that one thing if it were politically expedient. I'm not sure I could find anything that she wouldn't do.

She won't have to replicate Bush*'s actions because Bush*'s actions are bringing down the Republican Party and thus are not politically expedient, so I don't expect her to.

[Occam Bandage]

10. Ah, if we're talking "how low would she go," and not talking policy direction,

then yeah, I can't think of anything.

[baldguy]

Clinton will do anything she feels is politically necessary to remain in power.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

7. Gag on pretzels while crashing a bicycle?

[madame defarge]

12. LOL!

That's the best answer yet!

[texastoast]

8. Eviscerating environmental laws at every opportunity

Removing protections of endangered species; allowing aerial hunting of wolves; removing the Roadless Act; removing protections for mine workers and weakening OSHA at every turn; neutering media diversity

Oh, the list goes on and on.

[bullimiami]

11. pretty much everything. dont be silly.

[Gore1FL]

13. Have sex with Laura Bush

[sakura]

40. Do you really think George is doing that?

[Gore1FL]

45. I bet he did the night he attacked Iraq

That did seem to be ll about testosterone.

If he didn't the White house plumbers probably spent weeks unclogging the toilets.

[sakura]

72. Eeeeewwwww!

:puke:

There's an image I won't soon forget!

[chascarrillo]

14. Nomiate conservatives to the Supreme Court.

On edit: Considering Bill Clinton's moderate balancing act, he did do a great job of picking good Supreme Court nominees. The only "fault" (if you could call it that - I wouldn't, I'd call it "principled") is nominating older candidates who actually had a lifetime's worth of experience, unlike Bush I & II's young, inexperienced nominees, who will still be on the court for decades to come.

[sniffa]

15. Drink

Oh wait, never mind.

[cbayer]

16. Has hate eaten holes in your brain? nt.

[sniffa]

21. It's a symptom of his hammering those nails into your palms

I'm so sorry for you. :hug:

[cbayer]

22. Why are you sorry for me?

Seriously.

Oh, and congratulations on getting a DUzy this week.

[sniffa]

29. Thanks buddy

I've been going DUzy-less for far too long. JeffR has it in for me, and I know this paltry, 1 DUzy, is just his attempt to stave off the coming backlash.

[TahitiNut]

36. Sometimes I thnik JeffR is stalking me. I try to sneak in some subtle yucks ...

... and see a lot of them again on Friday. Makes it hard to cruise under the radar. :silly:

He has agents everywhere. They're everywhere, I tells ya. :scared:

[cbayer]

38. You are kind of scary and stuff.

I enjoy your posts and you frequently do some pretty funny posts. On the other hand, I would go out of my way not to get into a battle with you.

peace (and I mean it)

[Ravy]

17. It is interesting that so many Obama supporters bash Hillary for being

"republican" while she and her supporters are trying to get the republican's and their ideas kicked to the curb, while their candidate is campaigning on giving republicans a place at the table and respecting their ideas in an effort of unity.

I don't get it.

[NYCGirl]

18. Sleep with Condi? NT

[joeybee12]

25. Sleep with Jeff Gannon? n/t

[shayes51]

19. Pick Cheney for VP.

[sfam]

20. I think the demonizing has probably gone a bit far here...

There are MANY things that nobody other than those in the Bush administration would do. Cancelling habeas corpus and torturing prisoners are two that come to mind, but denying health care to children might be right afterwards.

[joeybee12]

26. True...come on, there's nothing to indicate she or any dem (Holy Joe excepted)

would do anything as bad as Bush has.

[lastliberalintexas]

35. Lieberman is not a Dem anymore

He left the party, remember?


And yeah, the hate has gone over the edge. I may not like Clinton, but even I admit that she would be a thousand times better than Bush or McCain or any republican. I just don't get this place anymore.

[joeybee12]

39. I know, but he votes with the dems for party purposes, but technically

he isn't...the problem is people here who hate her go to other sites where they hate her and get that reinforced.

[lastliberalintexas]

41. Personally, I think some of them have hated the Clintons since the 90s

A now tombstoned poster started a thread recently about being an "Obama republican" and there were far too many Obama supporters who responded by saying that they used to be republican, but that Bush had pushed them out of the party or Obama had drawn them in. It was quite enlightening, and helped explain the Clinton Chronicles references I have seen from some of the Obama "supporters" over the last couple of months. Clinton hatred is once again chic.


It makes me appreciate the sane Obama supporters, like Occam Bandage usually is.

[joeybee12]

44. Hmmm...interesting...

...you're right, Clintons really were hated in the 90's by the right, and even by the left. Bill had become way too centrist for people, but I say it's politics and you have to make sure you live to fight another day.

[texastoast]

50. DING! DING! DING! for the "I'm not voting" whiners

Oh wah! I'm not voting for Clinton/Obama or whoever is not my candidate for whatever stupid reason.

When it comes down to IT, this is what your choice will get you, and it ain't as bad as if you don't vote, because then, you are voting for McCain (as it turns out aka Bush III).

[billybob537]

23. Piss standing up

[Buzz Clik]

32. Wrong! Been there, done that.

[Oleladylib]

24. she would not have" ass-u-med" that the WMD evidence was accurate

without further proof...women are more suspicious by nature.

[joeybee12]

28. She wasn't planning on going to war with Iraq back in 2000 so she wouldn't

have even been looking at those reports....the war was planned a long time ago.

[DJ13]

27. Dance with native tribesmen in Africa

[texastoast]

51. And that would be bad because . . .? n/t

[Buzz Clik]

30. Puke in Laura's lap?

[KAZ]

33. Come on. As much as I dislike them right now, the chimp has a ..

.. special place in hell. Until she Joe/Zells on us, I'm giving her the BOTD.

[CreekDog]

34. booze in private

:rofl: :hide:

[LoZoccolo]

43. CreekDog FTW!

:thumbsup:

You found it. This thread can sink now.

[invictus]

42. The Clintons believe in nothing. They have no principles. n/t

[billyoc]

46. I got nothin'

:shrug:

[ruby slippers]

47. give us all a rebate check?

[texastoast]

53. On the backs of our children?

:shrug:

[ruby slippers]

65. yeah, but remember, I gave 250.00 of mine back to Obama in

Maitland last Wednesday....Thanks, Dumbya.

[texastoast]

52. Then read the thread n/t

[HooptieWagon]

48. Fuck John Mccain...errr, never mind.

[Cha]

49. Go in the men's

toilet?

[Major Hogwash]

54. Come to Idaho.

She has never been here.
Even though her husband was in the White House for 8 years.
She didn't even come here and campaign this year.

She's running all over Montana chasing delegates this week, though.
Funny that.
If you thought that I think she's about the biggest fucking hypocrite in the entire Democratic party, then you would be right.

See, she said "red" states like Idaho "don't count.
She said that we wouldn't vote for a Democrat in the fall, so she just flew over us.
On her broom, no doubt.

Yet, her story about "ducking sniper fire" - well, not even Bush told a whopper like that one.

[FlyingSquirrel]

55. Clear brush?

:shrug:

Land on an aircraft carrier in a crotch-grabbing flight suit?

[TeamsterDem]

56. I'm an Obama supporter but this is a stupid question

Hillary wouldn't fire federal prosecutors because she wanted to get people in those jobs who'd violate the law to go after her political rivals.

She wouldn't have launched the Iraq war (I know she voted to authorize it but she most certainly wouldn't have done what Bush did).

She wouldn't openly attack unions and appoint right wing assholes to the NLRB or the Supreme Court.

She wouldn't have ignored Hurricane Katrina.

She wouldn't veto a stem cell bill.

She wouldn't have landed on that aircraft carrier.

She wouldn't have said "Bring 'em on."

The list goes on and on. Hillary isn't my choice but she's so far from Bush it's ridiculous to ask this question.

[AnnieBW]

57. Make a video from her dog's POV

Especially because Buddy's in the happy hunting grounds.

[Barack_America]

58. Turn the Presidency over to an asshat like Cheney.

And that is a BIG difference.

ETA: What is the point of this thread anyway?

[AnnieBW]

59. Mangle the English language?

It's NOO-CLEE-ER, not "nukular"!

[greguganus]

66. Appoint rightwing ideologues to the federal bench

nt

[Shae]

67. Spend Christmas at Kinnebunkport,

sleep with Laura the "lump," call Putin Pooty-poot(or whatever), veto every bill the Dems send to her, send Helen Thomas to the back of the room, say "nukular," say that global warming is "junk science," mega-mismanage something of the scope of Katrina -- to name a few.

She'd be light years better than Bush -- who wouldn't be?

[SeattleVet]

68. Destroy the reputation and international good-will

that the US used to have in the international community?

Try to exit a room by using a decorative panel instead of a door?

Sit and read "The Pet Goat" for several minutes after finding out that there was an attack in progress?

[DesertRat]

69. Condone torture. n/t

73. Completely gut our HC system for the benefit of the insurance industry.

[MonkeyFunk]

74. turn you guys into raging idiots?

Bush never got half the ridiculous hate here that Clinton gets.
