Hillary for VP Part II

[Dreadsox]

According to the Drudge Report......

Hillary is the pick......


If this is indeed true.....this quote is not going to help I can see the ads now!

[Q]June 30, 2004 -- "Many of you are well enough off that . . . the tax cuts may have helped you. We're saying that for America to get back on track, we're probably going to cut that short and not give it to you. We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

Honest, but not good.

Anna Quinlan 's Newsweek editorial may point to why she may very well be the pick:

[Q]First there were the soccer moms who gave Bill Clinton a boost in 1996. Then came the security moms who turned out for the GOP in 2002. This year the most desperately sought female voters don't have a catchy title, but some Democrats are convinced that they could help swing the election. They're America's 46 million unmarried women -- a group that ranges from never-marrieds just out of college to single mothers, middle-aged divorcees, and widows. Despite their differences, these women have two things in common: deep economic insecurity and a tendency to turn out for Democrats when they vote -- by a 30-percentage-point margin in some polls.[/Q]

My mind is made up if this happens.......

 

[Danospano]

Yeah, that does sound like a bad idea. She's smarter than that, so she must be planning some alternative that will still provide tax incentives.

I like Clinton enough to support her as VP, but I'd prefer Wesley Clark or even Edwards.

 

[ThatGuy]

So tax increases aren't imminent? How else are we supposed to resolve the deficit?

Also, that quote selectively fails to mention that she was talking to wealthy supporters.

 

[deep]

methinks some people spend to much time drudge

and give it way too much credibillity.

 

[nbcrusader]

Shoot the messenger.


It scares me to think that some politicians look at individual wages as part of their own slush fund.

 

[ThatGuy]

Yes, shoot the messenger.

Nobody wants to hear that we may have to raise taxes on the wealthy.

 

[deep]

You are talking about Cheney and the no-bid contracts for Haliburton, right?

 

[nbcrusader]

Still have Haliburton on the brain?

 

[deep]

It is in the papers again today that Haliburton is taking another charge off. Most likely would be in BK without no-bid contracts.


Not surprising Cheney pushed Iraq and lied about it.

Does anyone think the wealthy are ever going to pay, or suffer? Don't fool yourself. They will find a way around it, they always do. If they don't, they will take it out of the working person's hide with cut salaries, benefits, and downsizing. Who will pay for this 'common good?' Why, the average hard working man and woman in America above the poverty level but below the wealthy level- most of us Our money will be taken for programs we do not support, and our own families will suffer. This is why I could never vote for them, socialism disguised as helping the poor at the expense of the wealthy, but in reality, poor aren't helped much, and the middle class, which has been sinking for years, will suffer more.

I am tired of people (especially the old who remember FDR) saying the democrat is for the poor. Why are there still so many poor? Get real, no politician cares about the poor, they don't have any money.

And Hillary is a b****

But I honestly think they will not pick her because she is so extreme she will scare away the moderates and many of the 'anybody but Bush' crowd and will make Kerry look like just another Dukakis.

 

[verte76]

I don't think Hillary is going to be on the ticket. She's way too controversial and divisive. Besides which, she's still serving her Senate term. I have no idea who the pick will be--but I feel sure it's not going to be Hillary.

 

[U2Kitten]

I hope not.

Hey, suppose she and Kerry both resign their Senate seats to run, then they lose... and get replaced

 

[Dreadsox]

Some people have trouble reading I guess.....

I prefaced it with if it is true......

Deep, you sure you never have posted something from Drudge? Just curious.

I'm sure if this was illegal, the appropriate charges will be filed.

 

[BVS]

There's always a way to legally find a way to unethically run business, especially when the White House has it's hands in your pockets.

Ah this is all small game compared to the LBJ/Nixon/Millitary Industrial Complex/CIA plot to overthrow Kennedy by assasinating him and pinning it on a lone nut thus allowing NSAM 263 to be overruled and then the subsequent escelation of the Vietnam war.

/Semi Serious on that one, I think that that period of history is very interesting but some of the conspiracys are downright nutty. We will not know the truth about Iraq for some years to come but I strongly suspect the truth will be a mixed bag that will not favour either side, Saddam was definitely an evil man and removing him was a good thing some of the methods and covert means used here will remain secrets for decades to come, basically were screwed whether we like it or not because all people in power will do what it takes to pull of their goals, this is how it happens this is how it allways happens and any politician who tells you differenrly is playing the same game.

Im also thinking that Hillary may have picked up a few pamphlets and books and an anti-war ralley and has since learned of the virtues of the Collectivization Projects of the grand Soviet Empire during the 20's.

I went to a peace rally here in Birmingham in February 2003. We didn't have any literature about "the good and great Soviet Union". If there had been, I would have informed the people that the Berlin Wall is down, the communist dictators are out on their asses, totally discredited, and that I think Stalin was as bad as Hitler. None of the speakers mentioned the Soviet Union. It's in the past, and it's there to stay.

 

[A_Wanderer]

I was at an anti-war ralley in febuary last year and they had a little table with a funny smelling and poorly dressed true believer who was selling (the irony ) books about Mao's Cultural Revolution and how Stalin has been misrepresented by the west, that Communism has and always will be a purely benevolent system. Note the picked up line though, not saying that everyone there is a communist but just a few utter nutters who happen to be very loud.

That's Revisionist History From Hell. Mao killed millions of his political opponents as did Stalin. They were very evil men.

Oh look...the Sludge Report got it wrong again.

He's more muckracking than the Boston Herald. "Middle-of-the-road" my ass. They say that FOX News is "fair and balanced" too, but all the rhetoric in the world doesn't make it true.

Melon

 

[verte76]

Looks like Drudge blew it. It's Edwards. Much better!

 

[nbcrusader]

There are always dangers with prognostication. But it sells....


Besides, Edwards was Hillary's choice

 

[deep]

I'm sure if this was illegal, the appropriate charges will be filed.

With Hillary as Attornrey General the Bush Administration offenders may get their just deserts.

 

[nbcrusader]

With Hillary as Attornrey General the Bush Administration offenders may get their just deserts.

And all "vast right-wing conspiracies" will be investigated as well.

 

[Salome]

There's always a way to legally find a way to unethically run business

in a weird way that is even admired by many

 

[verte76]

The guess here is should there be a Kerry Administration Hillary won't be in it. She'll still have two more years of her Senate term to go.

You are right

the Dems would not want Pataki to appoint a Republican Senator

Perhaps Kerry/ Edwards can find a nice Cabinet Post for Bill.
