Hillary supporters Unit #3 ..yes we are still here!

["Got Disney"]

You could write me in GotDisney, but I am not qualified to be pres. I guess, DISUNC it will be.

Call me Robin and since I said DISUNC first you can be his VP

Well, I guess if McCain can be born in Panama and Obama who knows where, I guess I could run too. Write me in. If I win, you can all have a place in my cabinet and I will appoint Chobie to the Supreme Court for the next available vacancy.

That could be fun. ..than maybe we would get something accomplished....although not to sure about Chobie as SCJ...how about Secretary Of War...we need a true OS to be SOW.

I would like to be in charge of Economics please...I am great at saving, managing moneys and relocating in the right places...I am fiscally responsible. I will be sure that moneys go to the schools and places where it is needed to most. I will get this money form raising the taxes on cigarettes and making them $10 a pack as a reformed( love that word reformed) smoker I can reform all other smokers to pay or quit.....those that can will and those that cant wont.... but for the ones that will ...buy doing this health insurance and Life insurance premiums will drop. For those that can't well than they will support our schools.

I have more that i can do just ask me and I will provide...after all a promise is a promise in politics

so what seat would you like in the White house?????? and what would you do

 

[punkin]

No, Robin. I will personally be in charge of economic policy. Hey, I've got an undergraduate economics degree. I beat all 4 of the bozos currently running.

I agree with you "tax the smokers" policy. You can be my "Tax Czar" If, I'm VP, then I want to be like Cheney and run the entire show. We'll let DISUNC out on state occasions. Maybe.

Ther is no secretary of war anymore (it's now secretary of defense), but I agree with chobie for that cabinet post. We need someone rabidly pro choice for the SCOTUS though. Who shall it be?

Man I wanted to be in charge of Economics.... ...Well than I will take on and vamp/reform the way medicine is run since I have over 22 years of Nursing. After all the main reason I left nursing was because of all the politics involved. Nothing worse than not being able to take care of your patient because the ins. Companies say "no they wont allow that procedure because it cost to much or no wait till the patient is almost dead than maybe will we say yes. So just let me loose I'll show them

Oh and Yes I know it is Secretary of Defence....but since Obama is always talking about WAR I thought I would change it to SOW(secretary of war)

Fine. You are now officially my Tax and Health guru.

If we appoint a SOW, do we have to put lipstick on her?

Given the nature of the rally and the critical voting segment behind it, this was IMHO not a good call by Hillary:

Clinton Cancels Rally Appearance After Learning Palin Invited

It was not a good call by the organizers. What were they thinking? Both of them showing up would have generated more talk than the event itself, overshadowing it. I understand Hillary not wanting to be part of the Palin Circus. She has shown her support to the Jewish community throughout her long carreer, and will have many more opportunities to do so. Palin on the other hand needs to be there

I don't see this having any effect on her, the elections, or her (proven) good relationship with the Jewish community as a whole.

dang, do we have to be serious now?

Actually, I think this is a non issue. I can see why Hillary does not want to be seen with Palin. It's a lose/lose situation for her. If she is civil to Palin, OS will say she is undermining Obama. If she is not civil, it makes her look petty. I think in this case, it is the better part of valor to back out. I also don't think it will seriously influence the Jewish vote.

ITA. I have no doubt that at the event someone would have pushed for pictures/video of the two women together, smiling. I can only imagine how JMC's campaign would have used that in ads, etc. adding al kinds of meaning. The more I think about it, the more I agree with Hillary deciding not to attend.

I still believe that it’s a negative on Hillary. It screams that she’s unable to support a cause just because a political opponent of who she is backing is there. To me, it seems childish. Hillary’s people just need to tell the organizers that Hillary’s there to support the cause and there will be no photo op’s with Palin. You set ground rules such as that before you appear and then show up to offer your support and there’s no photo’s flying around the internet after it's over stating that Clinton and Palin are now BFF’s.

I respectfully disagree, Dolce. Hillary has more than proven her support to the Jewish community. One rally won't destroy years of Support. I don't see it as childish on Hillary's part. JMO

I honestly see this as a non-issue, being made one by McCain's camp

 

[LuvDuke]

I don't think Hillary Clinton needs to shore up her credentials with the Jewish community. Nor does she have to shore up Palin's credentials by standing beside her.

Good for Hillary.

You see what I mean about OS having freak outs if Hillary even stood next to Palin. It makes Obama look bad, and we can't have that.

 

[Dolce27]

I'm not saying that she should "shore up her credentials with the Jewish community". I'm saying that if this is a cause that she stands for and supports than she should show up and offer her support. I still think she looks childish for not willing to be at the same even as Sarah Palin. Again, she doesn't need to have photo ops with Sarah or even shake her hand but geeze - two people from opposite sides supporting a bi-partisan event? There's nothing wrong with that. If it was a Republican based even - then yes, I doubt, nor would I expect, any Democrat to show up. And yes, I still support Hillary Clinton but no, I don't think she made the correct choice in this. I thinks she comes off looking petty.

Yeah, that's it.

By Hillary backing out with the only reason being Sarah Palin, it also makes Obama look petty and so scared of the other side and an unwillingness to even work with the other side that he won't let one of his supporters be seen with a VP nominee at the same event. What are they so scared of?

 

[punkin]

What are they so scared of?

Losing the election.

Clinton is saving face with the OS and right now she absolutely has to do that.

As an aside, was Biden going to this event-that would be balanced-both VP candidates.

See, I'm not looking it as it must be both VP candidates, ect... I'm looking at it as the cause that's there to be supported and not who's who of politics. If they support it than they, everyone political, should stand up and show that we are Americans supporting this cause. Isn't that what they're trying to do by having it bi-partisan? Show that this is a greater cause to stand up for regardless if you are a Dem or a Repub?

I guess I’m saying: people are tying to make the who’s who of politics attending more important then the actual cause itself and I disagree with that.

 

[Chuck S]

So, if during election season, they are inviting Senator Hillary, why didn't they invite a Republican Senator? If they invited VP Candidate Palin, why didn't they invite VP Candidate Biden? It really seems like a breech of both common courtesy and political protocol. I think Hillary was correct in declining. I'd feel the same way if it was Biden and a Republican senator.

 

[moon]

I just read that Hillary was blindsided, never even told that SP would be there. They (Hillary and her staff) found out about it from the press. How could she then trust any agreement she'd ask for to be met? The orgamizers were less than honest, and she had every right to cancel over it.

Why invite both of them? Why not invite SP and Biden? Why not invite Hillary and some other Republican Senator, or some other Rep from NY?

The motives seem fishy. I think the whole thing stinks to high heaven. Hillary had enough reason to cancel just because their lack of disclosure, and IMO a very smart move for her to do so.

_______________________________

Now this is a very personal vent of mine, reflecting my feelings only

I -for one- don't want to see them together. Don't want to know of them appearing at the same events. this is JMO, but it legitimizes SP choice as VP it would make it seem like Hillary and SP are "equals". SP is light years away from being even close to Hillary, and rightly or wrongly, the tought of both of them together in any way, shape or form irks me.

I once said that Obama wasn't qualified to carry Al Gore's briefcase. I feel the same about SP and HC. Sarah Palin isn't qualified to carry Hillary Clinton's briefcase.

Rant over.
