Hillary Clinton

Fast forward to now. Hillary, who was so sure she had this in the bag, is now sitting in a very uncomfortable second place and is doing as much damage…and damage control…as possible. Case in point:

1. Hillary suggests that Obama would be a great Vice President…more then once (I don’t know why she did this…we all know she wants Bill to be the VP). Brilliant power play if I may say so, but dirty politics that make me quiver with anger every time I read the words. I get the idea…put the thought of Obama as VP into the minds of as many democratic voters as possible before another primary goes by with the hopes that they will put her on the top of the ticket and that she will select him for a VP. Together they will be an unstoppable force to rule the world! (Well, with hubby Bill alongside them it will be an awesome threesome). I guess she realized after an embarrassing 12 loses in a row that she might not win this.

Here’s the flawed logic Hil:

1. You’re in second place. Last time I checked second place was still the first loser. Loser. I love the quote I read on CNN that said (and I paraphrase a bit here), “This must be the first time in US History that the second place person has offered the first place person their job” or something to that effect but you get the drift.

2. If Obama is not fit to be the President, what makes him fit to be the Vice President? He looks good in speedos? (Oh Lord woman, I think you and you’re husband went way wrong with Al Gore if that was your standard. Though Arnold wouldn’t have been a bad choice).
According to Hil, Obama lacks the experience to be President. I’m sorry, maybe I missed something, but how many elected offices have you held missy? Ummmmm, I think I can count them all on one hand unless some of them were in the parallel universe that you live in called delirium. I didn’t realize that being the wife of a politician offered so much experience that would qualify you to be the President. I would have to say that you and Obama are both probably equally matched in that area Senator.

Now, Hillary has tried just about everything possible to discredit Obama and he is standing strong in the polls. It does appear, however, that neither candidate will be able to secure the delegates needed to win the nomination. So what is Hillary doing? What else? She’s saying that the voting in Michigan and Florida was “fair” and their votes should be taken into account at the DNC in August. I don’t know that we can blame her for trying, but I have to say that it just makes her look like a bigger butt-head than ever. Everyone knew before the voting that Florida and Michigan had broken convention guidelines and they were being punished. She didn’t have a problem with it when she thought she was winning, but now she’s getting desperate and is unwilling to play by the rules set forth, claiming that the voters in Florida and Michigan should “have their voices heard”. If they want their voices heard, they should remember what their states did and vote out the idiots who tried to move the primary before the allotted time. If those pulling the strings were not elected officials, find the morons who made the change and stone em. No…that would be wrong. Just give them a noogie and a swirly–that should teach them to mess with the voters of Michigan and Florida!

Sorry Hil, but I just think you’re desperate attempts to get in the White House and gain power are a little disturbing and make you look ugly. I guess you’ve earned your yearbook title as the person most willing to do anything to be President.

Hillary and Obama

Regardless of political affiliation or agenda, one cannot deny that this political season has been one of intense scrutiny and has kept both republicans and democrats on the edges of their seats. If you’re a republican, you may have kept an eye on the democrat nominations to see who will be running against the republican nominee, John McCain. If you’re a democrat, you are probably glued to the edge of your seat watching every primary and caucus like it’s an inevitable train wreck in the making (especially in light of recent news).

For those of you who have read my husband’s blog, you probably know that we are Ron Paul fans. Since Ron Paul will not be the republican nominee (shocker I know), we have to decide who to throw our support to. This has been a really interesting political season for us on many counts.

1. For the first time in history the top contenders for a party nomination are either a woman or an African American.

2. Greg and I attended our first political rally.

3. Ron Paul was in the running and has some interesting ideas for change in the government (say goodbye to income tax!!)

4. Record numbers of people have showed up to vote in primaries for the person they think is best suited to be our next president.

Okay, now I need to put a disclaimer in here. You can write me all the comments you want, but if you don’t like what I have to say, just know that we are going to have to agree to disagree. I will be fair and listen to your points and if there is any good reason or sound logic, you may persuade me to change my view. Please know beforehand that I have become very convinced in my beliefs as of this point and attempting to change my mind may in fact bring untoward pain and suffering upon you in the form of tickle attacks, or if you do not live nearby, many superpokes on Facebook. That being said, the information you are about to read is not originally mine but rather that of writers much more prolific than I. You can read them on www.cnn.com. I’m pissed off and want to comment about it to the general world so there you go.

Rewind to January of this year. Primary season was gearing up to begin and Bill Richardson was still living in the delusion that he actually had a chance at being President. Florida and Michigan thought they would be smart and move their primaries before the instituted date that the DNC set up (if you don’t know what the DNC is then just stop reading now- no I’m just kidding, it’s the Democratic National Convention). As a penalty for Michigan and Florida making a power play, the DNC (you should know what that is now, if not, stop reading-really) fined both states by taking away their delegates. This move could have, and should have, been anticipated by these power hungry states.

Move to mid-January. Michigan and Florida hold their elections and the voters, the candidates, the DNC and everyone else in the the world who care at all about US politics know that these delegates have been stripped from the states and voters turn out to cast their votes anyway. Florida gives the win to Hillary with Obama winning a much smaller portion of delegates (Mind you neither campaigned there…although Hillary did do some fund raising that was apparently sanctioned by the DNC). Michigan is an entirely different story. Obama opts not to put his name on the ballot and Hillary (shocker of shockers!) won the state with some ridiculously high vote count of like 68%. At the time the candidates agreed not to campaign in either state to honor the decision of the DNC.
