Bill Clinton heats up: 'Blew gasket'

This is Hillary Clinton: Whitewater, Travelgate, Monica Lewinsky and impeachment, renting out the Lincoln bedroom, the loss of the Rose Law Firm billing records for nearly 2 years until they were miraculously found in the White House living quarters, removing files from Vince Foster’s office following his suicide and before investigators could get there. Her stalling to release her full tax returns and earmark requests from her time in the Senate, as well as her Clinton library donors. Her apology to the African American community (for her campaigns racist comments) which came days too late. Her decline to return $170,000 in campaign contributions from individuals at International Profit Associates, or IPA accused of widespread sexual harassment, and whose CEO is a disbarred lawyer with a criminal record. Lets not forget her campaign eventually returned some $850,000 to Hong Kong businessman Norman Hsu who was found to be a fugitive in a 15-year old theft case. He was indicted for fraud related to his campaign contributions in 2007. Her failed inclusion and diplomacy with congress on her universal health care bid. Her subsequent surrender and alignment to the health care industry. Her flip flop on NAFTA. Her flip flop on Iraq. Her flip flop on Florida and Michigan. Her exaggerated foreign policy experience. Her dealing the race card better than Republicans could. Clinton photo with Rezko. Clinton photo and prayer breakfast with Rev Wright. Her lies about Bosnia. Her failure to get the endorsement of close friend Bill Richardson. Her flip flop on pledged delegates and superdelegates by encouraging party elite to vote against the will of the people - “I believe strongly that in a democracy, we should respect the will of the people and to me, that means it’s time to do away with the Electoral College and move to the popular election of our president.” - Hillary Clinton in 2000

Who cares, Clinton is running for the Veep spot on the Repub McCain ticket anyway.

This will all be over in a matter of weeks if not days. Hillary's shoes and pantsuits are about to be repossessed, I swear.

Clinton's planes will be grounded for lack of gas money, her phones will be cut off, electricity will get cut off and her credit cards will quit working any day now. She won't find any more vendors willing to give the bum anymore credit. The MSM will start talking about her long list of creditors and it will start to be curtains.

She is so in debt right now that the campaign has resorted to astroturfing her FUNDRAISERS! Check out the WSJ for Peggy Noonan's column. Noonan had bought a cheap seat, but then they moved a bunch of folks from the cheap seats into the "high dollar" area lest it look completely barren and empty.

Also - Slate has a deathwatch meter up.

TPM election central has the links....

The Clinton campaign has about $2 million in chargebacks that they need to issue for "accidentally" doublecharging donors on their credit cards

Let Clinton bowl by herself Barack, she's broke and desperate for attention.

Clinton has to stay in this race, she has to continue getting campaign donations from her supporters in order to pay off all of the self-made Clinton campaign debts. Clinton should have canned her incompetent campaign manager, Mark Penn, a looooooong time ago.

"Cash-strapped Clinton fails to pay bills"
By: Kenneth P. Vogel- Politico

Hillary Rodham Clinton?s cash-strapped presidential campaign has been putting off paying hundreds of bills for months ? freeing up cash for critical media buys but also earning the campaign a reputation as something of a deadbeat in some small-business circles.

A pair of Ohio companies owed more than $25,000 by Clinton for staging events for her campaign are warning others in the tight-knit event production community ? and anyone else who will listen ? to get their cash upfront when doing business with her. Her campaign, say representatives of the two companies, has stopped returning phone calls and e-mails seeking payment of outstanding invoices. One even got no response from a certified letter.

"Is Hillary broke"?
March 29, 2008
BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist

Scoop du jour? Sneed hears major money problems in the Clinton camp may soon become a coroner knocking on her campaign door.

To wit: Word is the cash feeding into Hillary Clinton's campaign coffers has not only slowed down in a big way, undisclosed campaign debts that have yet to be made public could signal the end and have insiders biting their nails.

"Hillary needs to raise money to stay alive," a top Dem source said.

This is very understandable. His wife and he have not had much quality time together. Bill not being able to have his wife by his side at night, obviously has played a heavy tole. If Hillary does not win, then maybe the two can go on a nice long romantic cruise together.

Those guys are really POed at Richardson. They need to just get over it.

such hateful comments ... seems to me barrack is not much different than bush in that he says one thing, does another. addresses one issue by leading to his own agenda instead of real issue, and because he is a strong orator (unlike bush) he is deluding so many. but here is my question--if barrack were so sincere, why is he not standing up for the corner stoine of our democracy--for the right of each american to have his/her vote counted. i don't care that hillary supporters aren't getting on the blogs, but i pray hillary supporters are people of action--especially since those left to vote need to help those of us in florida who have been silenced to get our voice heard -- GO HILLARY!

Ah, the Obama trolls are at it again - setting the "new" tone for political discourse.

Memo to Bill: Start to get used to "blowing gasket" because Hillary won't get the nomination. And be nice, some day, you might have to ask Richardson for a job!

you obamites need to heed clinton's call to "chill out." the worst part about all this is that obama probably will be the candidate and come next year we'll all be reading about president mccain. wake up people! barack's only ahead by a hair. go hillary!!!!!!!

Whenever I see such mean, libelous comments about the Clintons and their supporters (calling them racist when they're just stating a fact or two), it makes me pick up the phone and volunteer for them.
Bill Clinton was the best president of my lifetime and I'm over 50. His domestic agenda, and that of his wife, is on a par with John Edwards' plan. It is CLEAR that the crap the Gingrich crowd impeached him on was merely done to derail his domestic agenda. Bill Clinton had ships and weaponry in place to take out al qaeda--there would have been no bombing of the WTC by George Bush's friends.
The Obama crowd needs a lot of history lessons.
I hope we're not about to have to live through an Obama presidency. It would be a disaster---but it won't happen. He will cost the Democratic party the white house if he is the candidate. Obama supporters need to just shut up about the Clintons.

golden oldie, what makes you "certain" that Obama will be bad? That's really the kicker on it: we KNOW much of the bad things about the Clintons, and there are many. Obama has a VERY clean record for politics and has a sparkling good track history. So while I do not have the history that you have, I do represent the new wave of political activists that would just as soon see EVERY OLD POLITICIAN get voted out of office and start with a new slate. There is just too much coruption with the old "experienced" ones. Also Goldie, you have not been taking a tab on the national scene, as just about every foreigner says that HRC is another blight to our country image, and Obama has the best chances of repairing our country's image.

It's comments like these by Obama and his supporters that have kept him from closing the deal.

Democrats don't like it when a candidate trashes a former two-term President and the First Lady.

Obama has shown no respect for the party and it's Democratic voters. His willingness and continued attacks and lies about the Clintons have only alienated the voters the Dems will need in November.

Obamas bully tactics will no longer work!

"why is he not standing up for the corner stoine of our democracy--for the right of each american to have his/her vote counted."

The right to vote in the general election is the cornerstone of democracy. The right to vote in the Democratic primary is something the Democratic party screwed up this year. America is not denying these people a vote, the Democratic party is.

As a registered Independent in New York, my vote is "disenfranchised" every primary season, since Indies can't vote on the Dem ballot in this state.

If the Dems want people supporting their party, they'd probably better shape up!

Golden Oldie - I understand how you feel! Bill Clinton once held the covented "ghetto pass", which is not given to many. And you are right HE was the best president this country ever had. Not the most graceful, that will always be Kennedy, but the BEST.

But his wife's campaign has managed to tear down ALL of it. And the way they are behaving puts me in the mind of the most vile Republicans who I think they are in alliance with to get rid of Obama. Bill will be remembered for this ruthless campaign. And I am a lifetime democrat, but I wont no part of this party if they are involved in any way. Any politician knows you DO NOT diss an entire demographic and then go into the general election. After all we did for them....talk about JUDAS! America, I beg you to NOT fall for that race baiting stuff. It is not black against white, or male against female - but the culmination of Dr. King's Dream.

OH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!!! Bill Clinton has broken my heart!

IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT CHICAGO TRIBUNE, MSNBC and other LIBERAL media are treating this election as an AMERICAL IDOL contest, giving Obama a BLANK CHECK and doing a disservice to this nation. Media needs to vett both the candidates equally. Look at their past credentials and performance and not just scripted speeches. Obama is increasingly emerging as DECEITFUL AND DISHONEST. In his latest television ad, he declares that he does not take money from oil companies. According to the Centre for Responsive Politics, however, Obama is overlooking the $213,884 he had received from the oil and gas industry up to 29 February, most of it channelled directly from the CEOs of two major oil and gas companies.
On 30 March the Washington Post reported that key details in Obama's version of how JFK and the "Kennedy Foundation" had funded his Kenyan father's study in the US "are either untrue or grossly oversimplified". It quoted an Obama spokesman acknowledging that Obama had "erred" in crediting the Kennedy family with a role in what he called his "very existence" in the US. Obama's evasions and silences about his close relationship with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, currently on trial for extortion and fraud, also come close to lying; he used the furore over his pastor to release, virtually unnoticed, details of even closer links with Rezko (a $250,000 donation from him rather than $150,000, for example) that he had failed to disclose before.
Obama's judgement is flawed when he coddles racists, divisive pastor Wright. He surrounds himself with flags but do not respect them. He does not sing Alliegiance to the Flag nor puts his hand to his heart.

The Electoral Collage is one of the many gems the Founding Fathers gave us and should never be done away with. People who think otherwise would be well served by spending a few hours researching exactly what its purpose is.
I used to be among the people who would have it done away with until I did that. I discovered that there are many reasons for it, any one of which is enough for its continuation. Among those reasons, but not all of them are these three:
1-The President is not the President of the People, he or she is the President of all the States.
2-The Electoral Collage gives voice to the people within each and all of the states not just to the most populous states.
3-Issues germane to a region of the country will not overwhelm the issues of the rest of the states.
It is important to remember that we do not live in an actual democracy and that it is a good thing that we don’t because in a democracy the minorities are at the mercy of the majority. How could civil or even human rights be insured to all, if that were the case?
It may well be that the way Presidential elections are covered by the media the purpose of the Electoral Collage is hidden and minimized; and so people are coming to see it as archaic. Do not be fooled by that tactic; there are those who would like to be in the ruling majority of a democracy! The Electoral Collage is far from archaic, however, it was and is the most progressively, far-reaching invention of all those conceived by the Continental Congress when they were constructing the Constitution. With it all of the States' populations have far more of a say in the selection of our Chief Executive Officer than a simple popular vote could ever accomplish. Urban centers cannot override the needs of rural populations, industrial areas cannot overshadow agricultural regions, everybody has an equal voice in choosing our President.
While there are many areas of our government that need to be reformed, do not be too quick in tossing out the baby with the bathwater. The Electoral Collage is a wonderful way to elect a President and it works very well. I’m sure that JFK would agree; it worked well for him in 1960!
