I’ve had a theory I’ve discussed with my one friend who could be conceivably called a Washington Insider. If Sen. Clinton makes it through the Democratic primaries and caucuses, she will win the general election. Why? The Republican Noise & Hate Machine cannot resist attacking her, usually going over the line. One must remember that the seething white hot rage they hate Bill Clinton with is magnified 10,000x for the senator.
They cannot restrain themselves, they go over the line of decency in their attacks on her (like Ed Klein’s book that was championed by the right) and it ends up softening her and bringing people to her defense. Senator Clinton has had her highest moments of approval when the Republicans have just gone too far. In 2008, if she becomes the nominee, the disagreements on the left with her on vital issues like the war will pale in comparison to the movement to "get" Hillary.
Chief among these operatives is Matt Drudge, who is pimping a video of Clinton in Iowa singing the national anthem. The goal of this is to promote eye rolling versus Clinton, to slam her for not sounding like pre-crack Whitney Houston. But as Eat The Press points out the video humanizes her. Any average American who’s been to a sporting event and sung the anthem knows that 99% of us can’t carry a damn tune but we sing along anyway, and that’s exactly what Sen. Clinton is doing here. It’s the first of thousands of these sort of misguided attacks coming her way, and all it does is increase her chances of being president.
Heck of a job, wingers.
I have a theory too oliver. My theory is that when hillary needs to be made more human, she will publish pictures of the former “philanderer-in-chief” getting a hummer from some unsuspecting sweet young thing…..then she can slap that victimhood card that the democrat party likes so much right down!
Well when the Republicans thought that we should throw out the constitution because Clinton got a blow job, he got some of the highest ratings of his presidency. You wingers can’t help yourselves.
Don’t try to change history oliver….we thought clinton should have been thrown out for committing perjury…the blow job should have only pissed off Hillary and NOW….But hey, if you are proud of the fact that the leftists thought he was a hero for it…well…
’nuff said.
Pedro, get some help. You’re freakishly obsessed with Clinton’s dick, and I’m kind of nauseous speculating why.
pedro, we all know the dire straits our nation faced in the 1990’s are mostly the fault of bill clintons penis. no arguments here.
Oliver, i had never looked at Hillary that way. It is also a lot of why Obama is plausible as a candidate (madrassas fer chrissakes??!?), but I’d never seen Hillary in that lens. Again, good call.
Who wanted to throw out the constituion? Clinton was constitutionally impeached. Bob Barr was a visionary.
And lighten up. Every politician is mocked for things like Hillary did. Do you want special rules for Hilalry? I also think she will get elected, mainly because she will string along the surrender-at-any-cost- yahoo left, get thewir big bucks, and then dump ‘em during the stretch run. She will, then, as I have predicted before, be ‘LBJ’-ized. Hey hey, Hillary, how many babies have you killed today!
You are so lucky to have someone as prescient as myself posting here.
Yes. We give thanks every day. If it wasn’t for you, we might go a whole day without seeing the word “surrender” used like a royal flush slammed on the table, even though it’s two pair at best.
“Surrender-at-any-cost” Dugger, still using last year’s talking points.
Yeah, but dugger. Hillary has been through the ringer so many times this video makes her look good.
but see what you want to see, as always
first she has to get by the left that, like myself, really dislike her.
she is a DLC insider corporate war monger.
She has 0 support on from the netroots and so, her first worry is the fact that she evokes the same feeling on the left as on the right.
At least she got the words right.
Wow…reading this takes me back. People are still freaking out over Clinton getting a blowjob?
I’d say she has a fairly good chance at both primaries and election. If for no other reason than the right come unhinged anytime she’s mentioned.
Let me just point out, for the sake of order, that Bill Clinton was not charged with perjury in the impeachment trial. You will have to ask the House managers why, but it likely was because he didn’t commit it. Even they recognized that particular charge was a lost cause.
At least Hillary knows the words, I’d hate to hear Bush mangle our national anthem: whose broad strips at ripe bars through the perfidous night?!
Pedo, Clinton was acquitted of perjury. What are you talking about? Did you know GW Bush is the tenth president to have articles of impeachment read against him in congress.
Yes, Clinton “may have” lied to us about something that was really none of our business so he wouldn’t get in trouble with the wife. String him up.
Of course, we don’t know his intent, so we can never know if he truly lied or not.
Yea midder, and OJ was aquitted of murder.
Clinton was also disbarred…
