The Clintons are playing GOOD COP-BAD COP

[polichick]

Hillary goes out and makes a strong case for Senator Obama, seemingly making it clear that there's too much at stake to play games.

Then Bill goes out and muddies the waters, complimenting the other side and acting as if a reckless unwell warmonger and an unethical religious zealot would be just fine in the White House even though he prefers the unmentionable guy. (As an aside, think about what being "unmentionable" means.)

WHAT A LOAD! It's as if one or both of them would really like to see McCain win so that Hillary can rescue us from him (or, more likely, Palin) in 2012. No surprise that Hillary's voters aren't completely on board yet ~ the message is too muddy to read.

1. not that i disagree, but let's let it drop.

let's just elect O without them and move on-

[renie408]

6. The voice of reason....is going to get completely drowned out. But thanks for trying. n/t

[No Elephants]

8. Seconding Jakem.

[PBS Poll-435]

2. WHAT A LOAD!

Bill and Hillary Clinton concern threads are only allowed on Mondays.

It is Tuesday.

[QC]

10. Nah, they are not only allowed but required at all times.

Oceania only had Two Minutes Hate every day, but we have improved on them with 24/7 Hate. How very progressive!

3. It' really too early to read crap from lunatics like yourself...

...that's all I gotta say, you nutjob.

[babylonsister]

4. Pot/kettle? nt

[joeybee12]

16. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid sweetie, and never have an original thought

of your own, parrot the talking points and attack anyone who disagrees...pathetic that people like you think you ]know how to reason.

[babylonsister]

29. I guess you told me, 'sweetie'. NOT. There's just the smallest

possibility I do disagree with you, no? I'm not parroting anyone, but who are you parroting? Yes, you are pathetic, but you know that. Are you 13 yet? :eyes:

Lunatics? Nutjob? This is a discussion forum, not some place you get to display your rage. Go talk to someone else that way, or try to curb it.

5. If the pugs hate Bill Clinton half as much as you do, his words will fall on deaf ears nt

[TexasObserver]

7. Yes, most of us have noticed that, too.

All except the few who put Bill above Democrats winning.

[RichGirl]

9. So when Bill was saying stupid things...

...during the primaries that hurt Hillary's chances...was he wanting her to lose???? He's not a 'talking points' guy...he says what's in his head.

Keep in mind, if Bill had said all the right things during the primaries, Hillary would most likely be our candidate right now.

Don't be distracted. What Obama needs most is UNITY!

[Lerkfish]

11. In fairness to Bill, I think his view comments are exaggerated, but even so

I think we should accept that his comments are or should be irrelevant at this point and move on.

[renie408]

15. HOLY JESUS!! Wherever he is, Bill Clinton's head just started spinning!

Can you imagine how Bill would feel about being called irrelevent?? LOL!!

[Lerkfish]

17. Irrelevant in terms of the fight ahead, yes.

the enemy is mccain, not bill clinton.

[ShortnFiery]

12. Bill Clinton is going off half-cocked, it hurt his wife and now it hurts Obama.

Bill needs to go off "on holiday" with his Billionaire Canadian friend ... Oh, for about 2 months or so. ;)

[jakem]

13. holy crap. i did not see this until now....

18. FYI

The Obama campaign has not attacked Palin directly. Attacking the person who "is just like us" is not smart. The truth about Palin is out there for all to see. Obama doesn't need to dirty his hands.

[RichGirl]

14. With all the zeal of criticizing Bill...

...who actually listened to what he said. I did.

Bill said that he believed Obama would win. Dave asked him if he thought it would be a close race. Bill said "no".
He not only thinks he will win, but apparently it will be a big win. He may have given the old guy a lot of pats on the back, but his confidence is in Obama.

[QC]

19. Yes, yes, actually listening to what people actually say is all very nice,

but it might deny some people around here the opportunity to do the melodramatic hatefests that lately make up about 3/4 of this forum.

[niceypoo]

20. Apparently you missed the convention speeches

None of them has ever said they want McCain to win. Your being a chicken little.

[Medusa]

21. Chris Rock cleaned Bill's clock last night

on Letterman. It was poetry in motion.

[cboy4]

22. Oh my Lord make it stop

:banghead:

[scheming daemons]

23. Only Bill can make it stop..by enthusiastically supporting the ticket and quit rehashing the primary

[cboy4]

27. No, there's nothing he can do that will please the people

who hate him and his wife.

[scheming daemons]

28. Don't bring his wife into it.... Hillary has been AWESOME since the primary ended

This has nothing to do with Hillary.


She's been a true Democrat since the primary race ended.


ON EDIT: You'd be hard-pressed to find a SINGLE anti-Hillary post on DU since the DNC.

[cboy4]

31. Uh huh.

[scheming daemons]

35. Please reference a single negative comment about Hillary in any of these threads

Just one.


Uh-huh yourself.

[BeyondGeography]

24. I disagree...they're not that organized

Not in the primaries (see reasons why Hillary was defeated) and not now.

That said, George Will has been a more effective advocate for Obama than Bill Clinton. If it's his wife's political future he really cares about, he'd do well to turn up the volume for his own party.

[scheming daemons]

26. "George Will has been a more effective advocate for Obama than Bill Clinton"

That's what is sickening about this.

[babylonsister]

33. Wow. You are so right, but the mind boggles. nt

[seabeyond]

25. cllinton was bro to bush and son to barbara in 2004. makes ya wonder

alas, they dont seem to be best of pals now. seems was for 2004 election

[PBS Poll-435]

30. You have said this a few times already

And it is just as irrational now as it was the first time you said it.

[RichGirl]

32. You can stop wondering.

Bill Clinton, for better or worse, has consistently liked EVERYBODY. You know, like Will Rogers. Sorry he isn't the carbon copy left wing pundit who simply memorizes the talking points.

[babylonsister]

34. That's the problem. When he doesn't like someone, we know it. nt

[woodsprite]

36. They both better get on and stay on board. If Obama/Biden don't

win this time around, there won't be anything left for her to rescue in 2012 or 2016. The sooner her holdout supporters realize this, the better.

I think her supports who switched over to McCain are a slap in her face. It proves her uterus was more important to them than her policies.
