Clinton-Obama: 'Jump ball' if Clinton gains traction

And while we're into fantasies, if Clinton goes to Iraq and dodges sniper fire and perhaps, skip over to Iran for tea, she can lay claim on the nomination that way too.
Clinton is toast. Burned toast. Time to lick her wounds, pack up the lies and beg Dean and company for a consolation prize, so that she doesn't have to go back to the senate so thoroughly humiliated.

If you want a soft spoken president that carries a big stick to beat the middle class into the ground..then vote for Obama...If you want a voice that resonates loud and clear to all of us and has a proven road in politics then vote for Hillary Clinton. She will fix our economy and bring our SOLDIERS HOME!!..GO HILLARY!!Pull out while you can with dignity Obama before more of your true side becomes visable...

So, Obama thinks America doesn't "get" Rev. Wright? Don't be so condescending, Obama. We "get" him and all that he stands for: division, hate, victimization, blaming, anger, rage, racism, adding fuel to the fire, us against them , black against white, rich against poor, etc........

What we DON'T get is why you chose this man to be your mentor and your spiritual leader and practically adopted him as a family member. What we don't get is why your so willing to cringe at the honest, private feelings of your grandmother who raised and loved you while refusing to "cringe" at the TOXIC influence Mr. Wright has in passing on his hate to the masses. I think the Rev. is a little more frightening than grandma. Yet, you seem so mucy more willing to defend him than your own flesh and blood.

DON'T BE DUPED !!!

Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.

But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. "Carpe diem" (harvest the day).

I think Hillary Clinton see's a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it's time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children's future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.

You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don't want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.

Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama's. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!

As much as 30% of Obama's primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.

Hillary Clinton has been out manned, out gunned, and out spent 2 and 3 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.

If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON'T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.

The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.

I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton's offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama's place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.

The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.

Fortunately the Clinton's have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton's. Only the Clinton's are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.

"This is not a game" (Hillary Clinton)

Sincerely

jacksmith...

Fact of the matter is OBAMA STARTED THE FIGHTING AND PERSISTED IN IT WAY BACK IN 07. Obama is a sleaze and so is his racist pastor! Hillary wanted nothing to do with Obama's sleazy attacks and his preacher's racism. I am voting NADER if Obama wins the nomination.

Here is something Very interesting! Read on:

There's a reason Hillary Clinton has remained relatively silent during the flap over intemperate remarks by Barack Obama's former pastor, Jeremiah Wright. When it comes to unsavory religious affiliations, she's a lot more vulnerable than Obama.

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that "through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as "The "Fellowship," also known as The Family. But it won't be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet's shocking expos The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

Sean Hannity has called Obama's church a "cult," but that term applies far more aptly to Clinton's "Family," which is organized into "cells" - their term - and operates sex-segregated group homes for young people in northern Virginia. In 2002, Sharlet joined The Family's home for young men, forswearing sex, drugs and alcohol, and participating in endless discussions of Jesus and power. He wasn't undercover; he used his own name and admitted to being a writer. But he wasn't completely out of danger either. When he went outdoors one night to make a cell phone call, he was followed. He still gets calls from Family associates asking him to meet them in diners - alone.

The Family's most visible activity is its blandly innocuous National Prayer Breakfast, held every February in Washington. But almost all its real work goes on behind the scenes - knitting together international networks of right-wing leaders, most of them ostensibly Christian. In the 1940s, The Family reached out to former and not-so-former Nazis, and its fascination with that exemplary leader, Adolf Hitler, has continued, along with ties to a whole bestiary of murderous thugs. As Sharlet reported in Harper's in 2003:

During the 1960s the Family forged relationships between the U.S. government and some of the most anti-Communist (and dictatorial) elements within Africa's postcolonial leadership. The Brazilian dict ator General Costa e Silva, with Family support, was overseeing regular fellowship groups for Latin American leaders, while, in Indonesia, General Suharto (whose tally of several hundred thousand "Communists" killed marks him as one of the century's most murderous dictators) was presiding over a group of fifty Indonesian legislators. During the Reagan Administration the Family helped build friendships between the U.S. government and men such as Salvadoran general Carlos Eugenios Vides Casanova, convicted by a Florida jury of the torture of thousands, and Honduran general Gustavo Alvarez Martinez, himself an evangelical minister, who was linked to both the CIA and death sq uads before his own demise.

At the heart of The Family's American branch is a collection of powerful right-wing politicos, who include, or have included, Sam Brownback, Ed Meese, John Ashcroft, James Inhofe and Rick Santorum. They get to use The Family's spacious estate on the Potomac, The Cedars, which is maintained by young men in Family group homes and where meals are served by The Family's young women's group. And, at The Family's frequent prayer gatherings, they get powerful jolts of spiritual refreshment, tailored to the already powerful.

Clinton fell in with The Family in 1993, w hen she joined a Bible study group composed of wives of conservative leaders like Jack Kemp and James Baker. When she ascended to the Senate, she was promoted to what Sharlet calls the Family's "most elite cell," the weekly Senate Prayer Breakfast, which included, until his downfall, Virginia's notoriously racist Senator George Allen. This has not been a casual connection for Clinton. She has written of Doug Coe, The Family's publicity-averse leader, that he is "a unique presence in Washington: a genuinely loving spiritual mentor and guide to anyone, regardless of party or faith, who wants to deepen his or her relationship with God."

Furthermore, The Family takes credit for some of Clinton's rightward legislative tendencies, including her support for a law guaranteeing "religious freedom" in the workplace, such as for pharmacists who refuse to fill birth control prescriptions and police officers who refuse to guard abortion clinics.

What drew Clinton into the sinister heart of the international right? Maybe it was just a phase in her tormented search for identity, marked by ever-changing hairstyles and names: Hillary Rodham, Mrs. Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton and now Hillary Clinton. She reached out to many potential spiritual mentors during her White House days, including New Age guru Marianne Williamson and the liberal rabbi Michael Lern er. But it was the Family association that stuck.

Sharlet generously attributes Clinton's involvement to the under-appreciated depth of her religiosity, but he himself struggles to define The Family's theological underpinnings. The Family avoids the word Christian but worships Jesus, though not the Jesus who promised the earth to the "meek." They believe that, in mass societies, it's only the elites who matter, the political leaders who can build God's "dominion" on earth. Insofar as The Family has a consistent philosophy, it's all about power - cultivating it, building it and networking it together into ever-stronger units, or "cells." "We work with power where we can," Doug Coe has said, and "build new power where we can't."

Obama has given a beautiful speech on race and his affiliation with the Trinity United Church of Christ. Now it's up to Clinton to explain - or, better yet, renounce - her long-standing connection with the fascist-leaning Family.

Jack Smith, seriously, you need to stop posting and get a life- you must spend 24 hours a day spamming up news comment sections with your Obama insults and Hill Clinton worship. If Hill is paying you, I guess you're doing a good job, but I'm tired of seeing you on every website I look at.

How sad Barbara Ehrenreich has Alzheimer's.

Jump Ball? Unfair! That clearly favors Obama. I say we do Rock-Paper-Scissors.

Obama would win either jump ball or rock, paper scissors.

This guy is incredible.

From the beginning of the democratic race Hillary has positioned herself as the presumptive nominee before we even voted.

She then started knocking off the other candidates.

Barack Obama is the only one she can't topple with her and her husbands poltical sniper fire.

You're supposed to get traction in the early part of the contest, say after 10-20% of votes are cast. After 80% are cast is a bit late.

Okay, it's so late it's almost laughable. Come back Dennis! You may find traction yet!

As for this, "So goes Florida in this election, likely will go the country": This is self-aggrandizing on a, well, a Clintonian scale. The country has been trending Democratic, or at least toward the party Bush isn't. Florida has been trending Republican, more so with each presidential election. Add in Crist campaigning for McCain and possibly as veep, and FL really has no "do what we want or we go McCain!!!" threat to wield.

Pennsylvania, please turn the page and save our beloved republic. The Clinton dynasty machine will do anything, throw the kitchen sink, kneecap, lie, slime, smear, destroy the Democratic Party, to return Bill and Hill to the WH for an unconstitutional 8 more years. We are on the brink of transformation, into a banana republic owned by a few super-rich, by lobbyists and by Middle Eastern and Eastern European despotic donors to the Clinton Presidential Library. Hillary has not been vetted, else why not release her tax returns, why the thousands of blacked out pages on her WH record, why the emergence of her outrageous lies of coming under sniper fire? There is a ton of corruption held in that pantsuit beside the history of Bill lying under oath that is captured on camera. Turn the page for all of US.

And I agree with Sally on Jack Smith who has been posting anti-Obama spam everywhere everyday. He needs to get a life. Or get lost.

I am amazed at how people honestly believe Obama at this point is electable in a general election. McCain is a war hero, and the Republicans have successfully wrapped themselves in the American flag the last two election cycles. They swift boated John Kerry, a purple heart Vietnam Vet, for opposing the war after he returned.

Obama has the Wright controversy intertwined in the minds of voters. Republicans will air ads targeting the following:

Obama: Refuses to wear a flag pin

Obama: Refuses to cross his hand to his heart when reciting the pledge of allegiance

Wright: "Our Chickens Have come to Roost" - 9/11

Wright: "God Damn America"

Michelle Obama: "I am proud of my country for the first time..."

Obama: "Typical White Person"

I haven't even delved into his ties to disgraced financier Tony Rezko.

If Obama is the nominee, McCain is guranteed a victory in November. Stop drinking the Kool-Aid and start realizing the cold reality of an Obama nomination.

Political sniper fire? Anna--you just recently began reading a NEWSPAPER like the rest of the Obamites, right?
Why does normal vetting behaviorqualify as a 'clinton attack'
give us a break.
go back to the sandbox.

Cover me I'm going in...(sound of sniper fire)

Hillary is fighting an old style campaign, she is of the politics of yesterday preserved for The Rich and the Lobbyists of Washington, she is only clinging on now for her own selfish vanity of self interest!

We want Change, not the old style politics of either McCain or Clinton, Barack Obama is the only one who can deliver, those still to Vote use that vote wisely.

Barack Obama has not had to run a dirty tricks campaign or personal attacks, he has remained dignified, his records in Chicago and Illinois is evidence of The Man, he and his campaign is making no wild claims like Hillary "It will all be over by February 5th"

Quit yer crying! p.s. tell Hillary to watch out for those snipers.

Geraldine - what is "normal vetting behavior"?

Would being asked about your Dad and an intern be considered "normal vetting behavior"?

I think Chelsea Clinton will be completely vetted after this campaign, and should run in 2016. She's visited lots of countries, dodged sniper fire, and she's been asked the really tough questions.

Want a break? Me too, a break from 2 families running this country. A break from people blindly following the Clintons or Bushs as if they're going to get a job, or a check, or somehow on January 15 they'll wake up and the world will be a different place.

You can throw all the rocks at Obama that you want, or McCain for that matter - have at it. But don't put Hillary on a pedestal - especially when Bill didn't.

Rezko received a $3.5 million loan from London-based IRAQI billionaire Nadhmi Auchi -- a loan that was later forgiven in exchange for shares in a prime slice of Chicago real estate. Rezko gave $700,000 of the money to his wife and used the rest to pay legal bills and funnel cash to various supporters."

These Funds from Auchi's loan helped finance a complex series of transactions between Rezko and Democratic Presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama involving the 2005 purchase of Obama's Chicago mansion and Rezko's purchase of an adjoining landlocked parcel.

Rezko claims he paid “full market price” and Obama apparently received a “discount” of several hundred thousand dollars for his parcel. Rezko then improved his parcel to benefit Obama.

Instead of handing cash to Obama, Rezko handed Obama a preferential price for property. This is the same form of “honest graft” and preferential treatment that sent former Illinois Governor Otto Kerner to jail over 30 years ago, see United States v. Isaacs, 493 F.2d 1124 (7th Cir. 1974).

The Chicago Sun-Times recently reported that Mr. Rezko, around the same general period he was wheeling with Obama, also provided a preferential price for a property purchase by U. S. Representative Luis Gutierrez.

Instead of transferring cash to buy influence, Rezko was engaging in structured property transactions and preferential treatment of public officials to confer significant financial benefits on them, far above the legal limits of any legitimate political contribution permitted by federal law.

Mr. Tony Rezko who owns a slum landlord business in inner city Chicago is under indictment in Illinois for seeking to extort money from potential state vendors.

IRAQI billionaire Nadhmi Auchi stills lives in London.

Watch out for Obama... He is a wolf in Sheep's clothing!

The Republicans will beat Obama in the November Election, and they will receive my vote towards ANOTHER Republican if Obama is our Presendential nominee. All my life I have been voting Democratic. But Obama is not the right person for the job.

Shirley, MI

lol - how is the momentum with Clinton ... lol... what's the writer been smoking ?
