That settles it: I'm voting for "the Bitch"

[theredpen]

I'm actually favoring Edwards and I dislike Hillary Clinton, but if she's the nominee, I'm voting for her November 2008. I'm submitting my paper absentee ballot with Senator Clinton clearly marked as my choice for president — no hesitation or wussy "nose holding." I think that a lot of Americans will be like me (and even many who are more anti-Hillary) just because the snickering Repuglicans have decided that they are running against "the bitch."

It's infuriating that in the 21st century such a crude epithet has wedged itself at the top level of the race for the highest political office. Many polls have shown that America wants the grow-ups back in charge. Say what you want about Hillary Clinton, but I think it will be abundantly obvious to a vast majority of Americans that she'd make a better president that the people who think this is cute:


I really thought this was going to die down, but apparently, the geniuses in the Republican camp think its hilarious. I hope it doesn't wear out before next year.

Then again, I hope Edwards is the nominee and its a moot point, but if not...

1. If she wins the nomination, I hope we break out the Elton John for her reelection bid. nt

14. Yep. I'll be voting stone cold sober, as a matter of fact.

2. i am in the same vote as you.

4. If Hillary Clinton is the nominee, I will fully support and vote for her.

I will not sit out the election, I will not vote 3rd party and I will not vote for Mitt Fucking Romney. Period.

8. count me in as well n/t

19. Definitely the third.

But I am still trying to wrap my head around THE RESOLVE of the possible conclusion that we don't really have a choice.

5. Yes, I am with you all, and for McCain to get away with that remark is disgusting.

I sort of felt sorry for the old coot, didn't realize how needy he was. Of course, Hillary could always brag about how long and how hard she worked to attain that title and thank you very much. I've been known as a real b**ch for years, and am proud of it...

12. McCain isn't actually the one who used that word to describe her,

it was a woman in the audience at a stop he made.

[theredpen]

13. Yes, McCain just responded with "Good question."

...and then kinda downplayed the "bitch" comment ...and then sent out a fund raising letter based on the incident.

What a guy.

18. from what I heard he did offer a weak

statement about respecting senator Clinton. I think it is a bit over the top to hold the candidate responsible for the remarks of a supporter, look at all the negative remarks made about our candidates on this site. Should we hold the candidates responsible for the negative remarks about another candidate here?

20. Hid did offer a weak "respect" comment... but then there was the fundraising letter.

Here's a HuffPo post with more detail:

6. I agree. This whole B***** thing has made her a more sympathetic figure..

..for me. I wasn't entirely sold on her, but hardly think that label should be applied to HRC (it should be reserved for Anne Coulter alone).

9. Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you meant this one..

11. I'm not sure what the word is for THAT...

and I don't think I even want to ponder....

[backscatter712]

16. God help us if that bitch becomes President.

I'm voting for the other one...

Seriously, Ed Schultz was talking about Rudy, and how he would actually be far worse than Bush, even though nobody thinks that's possible.

[hlthe2b]

10. Yup.. I'm there...

I do wonder what they will use, should Barak Obama get the nod... As if B**tch is not bad enough....

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. i will vote for her too.
