1. Here we go again
:eyes:

Swallow it whole. Don't wait for the NEXT YEAR to play out. Take the bait...or catapult the propaganda, whichever it is you're doing.

42. Gotta catapult the propaganda. It's the New Way.
Edited on Sat Nov-17-07 07:12 AM by tom_paine
I have to admit, in terms of following the Bushevist pattern of creating false realities using technology and falsely magnifying their presence in places where their support is thin, the Clinton Team has indeed showed they can fight the Bushies...

...by becoming them.

Sadly, reality is such that I will be giving my vote to Hillary in 2008 if she is the nominee, for what will undoubtedly, merely be a brief rest from Bushevik Vampirism, but in which NONE of the issues of constitutional or economic import will be addressed or fixed (leaving it all ready to advance further when the Imperial Family takes back what is theirs in four years).

It will also be the sad truth knowing that, to Hillary, we are likely viewed just about the same as the Busheviks view us, as stupid cattle to be lied to and spun with False Reality Gestalt-Bubbles, thus keeping the herd docile.

But I will be grateful for the brief rest after so much vampirism. That we, we as a nation can collectively heal and make our blood nice and juicy and fresh, for the NEXT member of the Bush Family to suck our necks dry.

2. What makes her more qualified than
Dodd, or Biden, or Kucinich, or Richardson? And do you have results of intelligence tests or something to back that part up?

5. Remember, we tried this a couple of days ago. NOT ONE PERSON could answer.
Not one. They're content to lob turd-grenades like the OP, with absolutely nothing to substantiate their claims, but they can't seem bothered to actually tell anyone why Hillary is worthy of the office.

13. I know what you mean
I think Hillary would make a fine President, as she would likely not seem so appeasing to swing voters. But those you mentioned are surely very qualified. And I personally think they are all intelligent.

corporate-corruption model of DC--is brilliant--sure, Hillary's
the Rhodes Scholar of politics!

Whooopee Dooo! Let's all celebrate warmongering as genius!

What's next? You going to tell us "My candidate can beat up your candidate?"

8. She might be. She might not be.
Very likely we'll know more after the Iowa caucus on January 3rd. The race there has tightened. My guess is it will tighten some more.

I would definitely not consider anybody a shoe-in at this still-early stage in the game.

Republican or Republican/Lite... Sounds almost like a Busch commercial (with a c there)...

19. Hey, Skinner!
How 'bout a new rule?

If a member throws out a piece of trash flame-bait post like the OP, and doesn't even participate in his/her own thread for say twenty replies, the post gets canned. Not the poster, just the post.\

Just thinkin' . . .

21. I'm not sure Hillary can handle the fire. She gets kind of brittle
and it seems to bring out her worst characteristics. She should learn to defuse the criticism with humor like JFK did--or even Reagan for that matter. I think it would help her image a lot.

27. No, I don't see it. The last couple of debates everybody has been piling up on her
and she doesn't handle it well. I really think she should let the criticism slide off and defuse them with humor. I think it would help her.

24. Based on what?
Her years as First Lady?

Her years of being Senator in a state she didn't live in until she decided she wanted to be Senator?

Her constant shuffling of how she stands on the issues?

The corporate and lobbyist interests who are stuffing her bank accounts with cash?

I will vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, but I do not think she is the best candidate. Her nomination will motivate the right wingers like none other. They will drag up all the old dirt, which will suddenly be relevant again, and even though nothing was ever found despite all the investigations, she will be guilty in the media we have today.

I think we need someone less indebted to big business, with less baggage. 2008 is too important to muck up.

31. Before last night? I would've agreed that she had it in the bag...
But Biden is by far the most qualified,capable and ready to lead and finally!last night he shined and showed the world JUST what I've always believed about him... I think he may have a shot at winning this thing now!

*Got my hopes up anyway,lol*

32. I disagree with your statement.
What makes her more qualified than any of them? Nothing.

That's why there is a vote.

35. No doubt the people profiting from the Bush regime wouldn't mind much.
So, yeah, could be. All they want is someone they can handle. They'd probably prefer Giuliani or Jeb or whatever but she'll do if need be.

She is the most qualified female running. insofar as the smartest and intelligent? hordes of people have fallen for her line of horse-shit. :rofl: that doesn't make her qualified at all... Bush did the same thing.:rofl:
and that line of hers about security trumping human rights... she should be excluded for that remark.
Biden :patriot: is still the best for America and the rest of the world.

40. Yes and DU is a flame free forum.
And Bush is the greatest president ever.
And Republicans support the troops.
And Joe Lieberman is a Democrat
And FEMA is prepared for any emergency.
And terrorism is down!
And the economy is great!
And Ann Coulter is a kind warm hearted person

See we can all do it. All we have to do is ignore the reality based community.

Maybe she is intelligent, but she's proven to be a cue card confusing and contradictory parrot in the debates.
