Hillary Supporters unite....no bashing please! only smiles

[Chuck S]

That one cracked me up too! But it makes me wonder about the women that drive those things....

Ann Coulter?

 

[MAKmom]

The Hummers fell under a Tax incentive or rebate for small business a few years back that is why you see so many of them. My DH said they were getting them cheap.

 

[Planogirl]

Ann Coulter?

I shouldn't joke about the things but I drive a tiny car and those always seek me out in a parking lot. First I can't find my car and then I can't see to back out. (Unless it's the H1, then I can see under it.)

I remember that. Way to go giving incentives to gas guzzling behemoths.

BTW one of my best friends drives a Suburban. She is barely 5 feet tall and says it's the only car in which she can see the road.

 

[wvrevy]

Aw, so sad.

Anyway, it's nice to see some people coming down to earth and taking a fair look. I think both candidates should be scrutinized carefully and treated like real people. Neither one is above it all and neither one is a devil if you know what I mean.

See my response earlier in this thread about that. We're not talking about some middle-of-the-road independent that happened to support Bush before being won over to the Democratic side. We're talking about the very person that Hillary was referring to when she coined the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" phrase. That article is nothing more than a more subtle version of Rush Limbaugh's plea to get people to vote for Hillary NOT because they support her but because it will screw with the Democratic nomination process. Richard Mellon-Scaffe is about as far to the right as Michael Moore is to the left, and anyone that thinks that article was sincere is simply being naive about its author. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it IS, and I'd say the same regardless of what the article said or who the subject was. The Trib-Review is about as reliable on political issues as the National Enquirer.

Barak just lost the vote of every elderly person in PA!

He is giving a speech and the news cut off the last 2 minutes of "The Price is Right" to show his speech! My parents are flipping, we will NEVER know who won todays Showcase Showdown!


They seriously want to call the news station & complain.


BTW...speaking of Media Bias, Hillary gave a speech this am from Philly...It was not shown on TV!

I saw some of it on CNN-she was doing great going after McCain! She made sure people were aware of his "stance" on the economy, which is basically "if you're not doing well, that's too bad for you".

You need to get XM Radio...They've got a station called "POTUS '08" that does nothing but political coverage, and I heard most of her speech (before the AP satellite feed cut out) at lunch. They also had McCain's speech from this morning, and will have Obama's on later.

Honestly, I think it's the most unbiased source I've seen anywhere in the media. Everywhere else is either pro-Obama, Pro-Clinton, or Fox News.

They broke in with a SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN!

So first they thought someone died!

Heck they dont even do this for the President

This is the local CBS affiliate! WYOU.

If anyone wants votes in PA the rule of thumb is NEVER cutoff any part of "The Price is Right" or "Judge Judy" for a speech!

Trying to Shove Hillary Aside
By Marie Cocco

WASHINGTON -- Have you noticed something similar about those Barack Obama campaign surrogates and the media soothsayers who have started a drum-beat to force Hillary Clinton out of the Democratic presidential contest? Hint: They tend to share a certain anatomical attribute.

I guess the boys are just being boys again. They've failed to dispatch Clinton in the race thus far -- remember, they were predicting the fall of the "house of Clinton" in New Hampshire. Then Kennedy magic was supposed to transform Obama into the anointed nominee on Super Tuesday, but star-power appearances in California by the women of Camelot failed to help Obama there, and not even Ted Kennedy could deliver his home state of Massachusetts. Clinton won decisively in the Bay State and took all the big states on Super Tuesday, except Obama's home state of Illinois and in Missouri, where he edged her by a single percentage point.

Clinton then was supposed to bow out after March 4 if she did not win the crucial states of Texas and Ohio. But darn! She messed up their game plan again by winning both of those states -- and Rhode Island, too.

Those looking ahead now see no way, based on current polling and the way the demographics of Pennsylvania break down, that Obama will win that next mega-state on April 22. Those looking even further ahead see only more uncertainty -- a series of contests lasting until June in which some states seem to naturally favor Clinton (Kentucky, West Virginia) while others seem to favor Obama (North Carolina, Oregon).

Since we're talking boy-talk here, we might as well get right into their rhetorical comfort zone: Obama now is ahead by a field goal in the third quarter. But the fourth quarter has yet to be played and who knows what the score will be at the end of regulation? So here's their plan, hatched in the locker room: Push Clinton off the field now so that Obama can take his early victory lap.

Obama denies that he is personally behind this strategy. But let's face it. The pronouncements by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and Chris Dodd, D-Conn., both big-name Obama supporters and superdelegates, that Clinton needs to limp away with her head held low looked terribly orchestrated.

Leahy was particularly odious when, after declaring Clinton had "no way" to win the nomination, he offered her a very warm seat. It happens to be one she already holds and it is, of course, comfortably below the glass ceiling. "Frankly, I feel that she would have a tremendous career in the Senate," Leahy declared.

If it weren't so galling, it would be amusing to watch the Democratic men shuffling nervously in their television studio chairs, trying to conceal the audacity of their arrogance. For they have something in common besides their anatomy: It's Hillary Clinton. For nearly two decades, she's raised more money for more Democrats than anyone except, perhaps, Bill Clinton. She's certainly done more obligatory "Women-for-(Your Candidate's Name Here)" events than, say, the Obama girl on YouTube.

Now Clinton's methodical, dogged history of work for the Democratic Party is treated just like the methodical, dogged histories of so many women in the workplace: Having come this far she must not go too far. She must step aside to take the smaller office, with the lesser title and the lower pay to make room for the younger guy with the thinner resume. And please, would she just go quietly like a good girl?

Maybe it is true that Clinton has no realistic way to win the nomination. But Obama hasn't won it either -- and contrary to the myth his campaign has spun, Obama can't win without superdelegates to put him over the top.

Somehow the Obama campaign has come to believe that insulting Clinton is the same as beating her. It isn't. And insulting her supporters -- especially women and, in particular, working-class women, who have clung to her candidacy all these months -- isn't much of a general-election victory strategy. Women were 54 percent of the electorate in the presidential election of 2004. Without their support, Al Gore would not have won the popular vote in 2000 and John Kerry wouldn't have come so close in 2004. Women voters put Democrats in control of Congress in 2006.

So, the Obama campaign can continue trying to get its allies in the media and various party pooh-bahs to push Clinton aside early. Or Obama can welcome the fight -- and win it like a man.

YES they did! With the Blaring "Special Report" music and everything. Not too mention this was a special "April Fools" edition of TPIR!

I have too talk to my friend later, she works in a Nursing home...She often says the only peace they get all day is when TPIR & Judge Judy is on TV! I know recently she said she CANT wait to the Basketball games are over...they keep Judge Judy off the air, and the Angry Elderly Mob want dinner early then....All heck breaks loose!

They are real cheap to lease now. I am 6'3 and weigh 240.....EVEN I think the Hummers are just ridiculously BIG. Really ya should need a Trucking license to drive one of these.

 

[JARNJ3]

I got a 10 out of 10 too!

Heehee, just for fun I took the Republican loyalty quiz where I got a 1 out of 10. I wonder where I went wrong...

Another 10 here too!!!

Two great quotes from Hillary's speech in PA:

"John McCain admits he doesn’t understand the economy – and unfortunately he’s proving it in this campaign. He looked at the housing crisis, and he blamed consumers. And his plan for the economy is to extend George Bush’s tax cuts for billionaires and give a new $100 billion corporate tax cut," said Clinton. "But don't take my word for it. Even Republican Senator Mel Martinez gave Senator McCain’s economic plan an 'incomplete.' He said: 'where I think he fell short…is the fact that we need to do some things that can help families, that can help people.'"

"President Bush has stood by and watched as we've lost 3 million manufacturing jobs. And he’s done nothing about the loopholes in our tax code that actually encourage companies to ship jobs overseas," said Clinton. "It's time for a different approach. I'll fight for every single job in America – and create millions of new, high paying jobs that can’t be outsourced. We're trying to run today’s economy on yesterday’s infrastructure – and we’re jeopardizing tomorrow’s prosperity. So I will rebuild America – by rebuilding, repairing and modernizing our infrastructure."

I loved the "Nice Hummer. Sorry about your *****" bumper sticker question...

"Got Disney"...how the heck did you get an 8 of of 10?!?! After taking the test, I'd figured we'd all get a 10...

I liked the Hummer answer also...some made me laugh. Why I got an 8 must be because I was so tired and did it without my reading glasses looks like your all a better Dem then I...but that's okay because I'm going to Disneyland

They broke in with a SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN!

So first they thought someone died!

Heck they don't even do this for the President

I would have thought the same thing...someone died, a plane crash or something like that....would not have minded if they did a special report for Hillary however, but would have still thought it was overboard...
