Face it, this is what socialists really think of us...

Wake up, friends! This is what the socialist elites really think about us...we're just a bunch of dumb old hicks who they're betting will be easily subdued once they return this country to its agrarian roots...hope your kids like picking fruits and vegetables. That's why Bubba Clinton was so popular...he deluded the blue collar crowd with his home spun garbage and then did the same with the black community...don't forget, he was the "first black president."

The reality is most Americans have gotten lazy when it comes to our expectations of leaders. Everyone in the bottom 98% is just fodder for the Soros and Kennedy crowd anyway. Just give us our American Idol, fast food, and we're ready to close our eyes and be led to slaughter.

As offensive as Shrillary may be on this topic, at least she's honest in her disdain for the poor, uneducated white trash constituency. NObama on the other is doing his "Glamour Shot" best to stare into the camera and hypnotize us with his pablum-filled message of rhetoric.

(And no, I'm not a Republican either.)

a little racist...

I'm white and that offends me. She thinks white Americans are turning away from Obama (??) and so she thinks that imaginary large white base is why we should give her the privelige to represent democrats? Let's throw policies out the window and vote by race?! That's what it sounds like. This is nonsense. Maybe she wants to take attention away from the comments she made about submitting to Israel's whims (AKA "defense" and "existential threats") most recently regarding invading Iran. Who knows.

She has also claimed she is "electable". I think that's a sorry reason for anyone to win, but that's US politics.We'd have to get rid of the electoral college and these conventions to make any real progress there... Anyway, the republicans will tear her to shreds if she is the democratic candidate. They've had a trial run at this with her husband. Most Republicans I know have developed a rabid hatred for the Clintons, so it will be no problem to break out old scandal, find new, and dust off those old Clinton jokes. If you're looking for electable, Clinton's not your gal. With Obama, we'll have to counter those poor people who still think he's Muslim :) (and those who think all Muslims are terrorists, but that's another topic).

Americans in general turning away from Hillary! (By the droves)

Mrs. Clintoon's "mouth has proved to be her ruin" or so the consensus seems to be, if the press has any credibility left at all. After months of the television press seeming to favor one canidate one week and another the next; the bad has finally outweighed any good Hillary might have ever accrued.

Seems like most folks that have opined with me about Mrs. Clintoon, have almost without exception, remarked about Hillary's perceived sense of desperation not only in her far fetched public attacks in regards to her opponent but the high irritating pitch with which she delivered some of her outright untruths about Senator O. as well as her own non accomplishments that she'd have us believe spanned the globe. Especially when her globetrotting involved "sniper fire"...

Many were I suppose, wondering just how much more saturation American voters could tolerate before tuning Hillary & her red faced hubby totally out. In retrospect, it seems as if Willie was the one that started out too rough and had to be reigned in by the Mrs. herself. And as we all know by now, no one but no one seems to have any control over what comes out of Hillary's mouth (or tear ducts); truth lies or dares...

These past months seem to be a textbook example of precisely how not to run a Presidential campaign. Everything that could go wrong, seems to have done just that. Only now are we getting a clearer notion of just how deeply in debt Hillary's campaign truly is. There have been rumors in the past as well as a few articles of how vendors serving her staff's breakfast & snack needs, had seemingly been stiffed or placed on hold til further notice by Hillary's strongmen (and women) higher ups.

Certainly the primary reason Hillary continues to 'make like a tick' even now, would be in her fleeting hope of recouping some of her personal monies that she 'loaned' the campaign in darker times. A heavy concern now by too many pundits seems to be that now would indeed be the time Hillary should cut her losses & close shop. Trouble with that is, not only a stale sort of pride Hillary & Willie seem to share but an obvious common desire to make up some of her financial losses by burrowing in & hanging on for dear life.

This final chapter seems to chip away at one of Hillary's many 'theme songs' about how she wanted to help the little guy; the middle American with too much on a plate at one time, so to speak. It appears now that Hillary's plate has been and is her number one concern at the end of the day or better yet at the tail end of her strange campaign.

Many are so thankful that we won't have to look at 'the triplets' too much longer. It has been a very unpleasant chapter in U.S. politics and I pray that Hillary will never be so crass as to try and repeat this mess in some other race, later on down her road...

CNN reported that Hillary Clinton suggested Wednesday to USA TODAY that "White Americans" are increasingly turning away from Barack Obama’s candidacy. She's quoted as saying, "I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on." Read the story here.

What do you think about what she said? Is she right?
