Hillary Is An Abomination

Yes, I called Hillary Clinton an abomination. I could not be more correct with my description and here is the definition of abomination to prove it:


    Abomination - A*bom`i*na"tion, n.

    That which is abominable; anything hateful, wicked, or shamefully vile; an object or state that excites disgust and hatred; a hateful or shameful vice; pollution.


Fits perfectly. Hillary would, obviously, disagree. A month ago, she compared herself to Rocky.



It’s true. Hillary is Rocky because she is not going to win and she is beating the shit out of Obama, while getting the shit beat out of herself at the same time. Sadly, Rocky and Apollo Creed fought for 15 rounds – a fight length that is now illegal because of the damage done to the fighters.



We are now in round 13, with a couple more horrible, bloody rounds to go. I can only assume Hillary will be holding onto Bill at the end, mumbling, “I did it,” though her grizzled and battered face. Just like Rocky, there will be no knock out and the decision will go to the judges. In this case, they are known as the superdelegates.

This abomination will not give up. Her spinmeisters are running around telling everyone who will listen that Obama is unelectable and can’t win big states. The unelectable argument is moronic because she is behind in delegates and the popular vote. Never thought I’d see someone in second saying the person in first is unelectable. Amazing.

The “big states” argument is equally retarded. Hillary claims Obama can’t win big states in the primary, so he won’t win the general. I guess that would make sense if Hillary were a Republican, but it turns out Democrats are voting for both Hillary and Obama. That means in the general election, Democrats who voted for both would probably vote for Obama. Anyone buying the "big state" argument is wasting their brain and it should be removed from his or her head -- immediately.

Worst of all is the argument Clinton and her supporters are making that no one is actually saying out loud: Obama won’t win big, industrial states because he is black. It’s straight up racism and it’s disgusting, but it’s the claim she is trying to make to superdelegates. If it were true, I’d rather try with the best candidate, who happens to be black, and lose, than toss him to the side for the not-as-good white lady because of racism fears. To choose Clinton for this reason would be morally heinous and I think anyone doing so is scum.

The truth is Clinton’s 9-point victory in Pennsylvania was actually a loss. She needed to win by a 20-point margin to make a serious dent in Obama’s delegate lead. She didn’t. She only gained around 10 delegates out of 158. There are now only 408 delegates remaining in the final primaries. Clinton needs 483 delegates to get the 2024 necessary to win the nomination. See how that might be a problem?

This means the only way Clinton wins the nomination is via superdelegates. But she will need 70% of remaining uncommitted superdelegates to win – if she splits the remaining popular delegates. Which means she has to convince 215 human beings that Obama can’t win the election, even though he has received more votes and popular delegates. That’s 215 people who have to buy the “black guy can’t win” argument. Good luck with that.

And while the Clinton people are at it with the “black guy can’t win” argument, they are going to continue to throw every Republican attack possible at Obama. See, the Clinton peeps have this awesome idea in their heads. They don’t think Obama can handle the Republican attack machine in the general election and to make that point, they are going to attack him like the Republican machine. It’s kind of like an honor killing; we have to kill him to save the family honor.

So, Hillary will continue to hang out with the guy who started the rumor that she killed Vince Foster, and the owner of Fox News, while she praises John McCain. At the same time, she will use all the Republican talking points about Reverand Wright, call Barack an elitist, and point out his connections with the Weather Underground, no matter how tenuous or hypocritical.

She has completely crossed the “vetting Obama” line and is now simply a Republican tool of destruction. If the only way you can win an election is to convince 306 party insiders to overturn the will of the people, and you continue on that path, you are a fucking asshole. It’s already having an effect. Just take a look at Fox’s newest promo.



That’s Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe. Good work, douchebag.

Meanwhile, Obama has done nothing to imply Clinton cannot win the general election. He is only making the case that he is the better candidate. Clinton is dragging them both into the ditch. Her approval rating is plummeting and Obama’s is also slowly slipping.

According to Hillary, she plans to take this "all the way" to the convention, no matter how obvious it become that she is done. MSNBC has declared the popular delegate race over. The New York Times ripped her a new asshole yesterday.


The Low Road to Victory

The Pennsylvania campaign, which produced yet another inconclusive result on Tuesday, was even meaner, more vacuous, more desperate, and more filled with pandering than the mean, vacuous, desperate, pander-filled contests that preceded it.

Voters are getting tired of it; it is demeaning the political process; and it does not work. It is past time for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to acknowledge that the negativity, for which she is mostly responsible, does nothing but harm to her, her opponent, her party and the 2008 election.

If nothing else, self interest should push her in that direction. Mrs. Clinton did not get the big win in Pennsylvania that she needed to challenge the calculus of the Democratic race. It is true that Senator Barack Obama outspent her 2-to-1. But Mrs. Clinton and her advisers should mainly blame themselves, because, as the political operatives say, they went heavily negative and ended up squandering a good part of what was once a 20-point lead.


The most damage being done by Hillary is the fight over Florida and Michigan. She has been making the case to voters in those states that Obama is responsible for their votes not being counted. It is completely untrue, the DNC made the decision, but Obama’s chances of beating McCain in Florida and Michigan have been plummeting, according to polls. Without those states, he has no chance. She is literally killing the Democrats chances of taking the White House.

Which is why she is not Rocky. Sure, Rocky lost to the black guy and both left the ring battered. But Rocky was a lovable character who won by losing. That is not the case with Hillary. A more appropriate comparison would be Jason Voorhees: A horrible, thoughtless, driven killer destroying all in his path. She’s just crisscrossing America with a machete, slashing and killing everything in her path.



Kudos, abomination, kudos.

FearTheReaper thinks Rocky has more impact in Italian and Jason Voorhees is scarier with Nordic death metal.

This DAMN election is like watching a historical re-enactment of a train wreck...your pretty sure how it's going to end...you want to look away...but you just can't...
I am starting to get a really bad feeling about this election...and how it is going to end...
The mudslinging has begun- and we are not even out of the primaries ...
Between unelectable Republicans and unelectable Democrats (because of the all the shit slung around)? Who will get elected...
I'm guessing either Nixon's head or the Libertarians...
Is Carter a viable write in option?

mad mad mad
P.S. What do you do when the election for P.O.T.U.S. looks like a bad version of the election for the third grade student body President on an 80's TV show... puke

neither candidate will win the nomination with primary votes alone. DNC rules give weight to the superdelegates for a reason, they want to be sure to nominate a candidate who can win the general election. these rules have been in place for 35 years now. so please, everyone stop saying that Obama has won the nomination. he hasn't.

right now deals are being offered for superdelegate support. i doubt that it's gotten to promising seats on the supreme court yet, but I'd bet a paycheck that promises are being made to congressional delegations (remember, sitting members of congress are superdelegates) offering federal goodies for support.

trying to be as objective as possible, I believe that the democrats would be best served by choosing a third candidate, and offering both Obama and Clinton some other compensation: majority leader, secretary of state, maybe VP (but I doubt that one).

FTR is right. bilary is all about the entitlement. The question should be if bilary was the defacto nominee, then why did't she seal the deal. That is easy, because Obama is more likable. People are tired of bilary, who really wants bush, clinton, bush ,clinton.
Until bilary had her new math bullshit where if you count the Florida and Michagan primaries then she leads in the popular vote, I would of voted for her had she won the Democratic nod. The only problem with her facts, is the fact ithat Obama was not on the ballot in Michagan. So he did not receive any votes counted in his name and if people wrote his name in then those ballots were in fact tossed out. 44% of the michagan voters voted uncommited 53% voted for bilary, the rest for Kuchinich and Gravel.
Some may say that the message is mysoginistic but it's only anti -bilary. I'd vote for Suze Orman hell even Ophra. Just no longer for bilary.

Manty times I make statements to incite discussion. This in my years is a straight talk statement. I truly believe that neither of the democratic front runners will win. Why? We have a country that still is not ready tomelect the to minorities running. We have screwed ourselves again. I think that Edwards would have won against the republicans, do to the attitudes of this land that we have not got past the old timers die off frown

Here's the problem I have with that statement. It sounds too much like a business owner who doesn't want to put a woman or a member of a minority in a position of responsibility "because the customers won't accept it."

We believe in equality or we don't. A lot of people didn't think we could elect a Catholic in 1960, either.

I'm always amused by FTR's wonderful political insight. Every week I'm on the edge of my seat to see how his latest rip Hillary column any different from all his other ones. With his skills, at telling the same story a different way, if the Eskimos ever run of words for snow, FTR should really be their go-to guy for coming up with some new ones.

I know this website is exactly a cornucopia of political commentary and discussion but reading the same thing week after week really gets old.
