Cutting Through the Nonsense: 10 Reasons to Vote for Hillary

I love this list of her qualifications and her experience.

And damn straight about her being a fighter! In contrast to the other one, trying to defuse the bad press he expects:

Obama Predicts Clinton Win on Tuesday

Posted: 2008-04-21 15:43:15

SCRANTON, Pa. (April 21) - Barack Obama predicted Monday that Democratic presidential rival Hillary Rodham Clinton would get the critical victory she needs in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary, but said his goal is to keep it close. …

Mr. Yes We Can has predicted a Clinton win. Wow. That was a hard one.

I guess he figures all those praying hicks with guns are going to vote.

ARE YOU A ***TYPICAL WHITE PERSON ***OF OBAMA
ARE YOU A ***BITTER***PERSON OF OBAMA
ARE YOU A **GOD DAMN AMERICA***BELIEVER
ARE YOU A ***PART OF OBAMA CULT***

IF NOT THEN ,,,VOTE HILLARY

I love CNNObama. When Obama is ahead by four points, they call that a margin. WHen Hillary is ahead by 7, it’s a Slim Margin.

Good news though. They accidently let slip that the preponderance of the 7 percent undecided are mostly Catholics, which favors Clinton.

Thanks Jeremiah! You miserable poor excuse for a man of God, you.

This from a National Review article by Byron York:

“I could tell you I’m going build you a house, and I’m going to do everything you want,” a man named Bernie tells me. “I’m going to put everything in it just the way you want it. And then you give me your money, and you find out I’m not a carpenter.”

It correctly sums up why not Obama. Bernie is a smart guy. Why Clinton is not a difficult question as your blog shows.

(april 21, 2008) Obama Superdelegate Margaret Campbell - Montana DNC, Changes to Uncommitted (Missoulian News Online)

——————————————————————————–

Politico’s superdelegate watch listed in today’s update that Montana DNC Margaret Campbell was being switched to uncommitted. Here is a link to the article

Excerpt:

Quote:
Although she expressed support for Obama’s candidacy, she also called one of his staff members later in the day to make it clear she was not ready for a public endorsement. She said she needed more time to speak with voters.

The staff member tried to dissuade her, said Campbell.

Later in the day, Campbell was told a national press reporter had already moved forward with the story of an endorsement. “The New York Times jumped the gun,” she said.

Meanwhile, Clinton had also been in contact with Campbell on Sunday, following a weekend of rallies, dinners and fundraisers in Montana by both Democratic presidential candidates.

Clinton called while Campbell was driving back to her home on the Fort Peck Reservation. Clinton thanked Campbell for the gift of a star quilt - Obama also received a quilt - a tradition shared among Great Plains tribes.

“Like all Montana Democrats, I was extremely excited on Saturday night by the speeches of both candidates and the change they offer after seven and a half years of failed policies of the Bush administration,” said Campbell. “And I was proud to present both senators with gifts on behalf of my people.”

While on the phone, Clinton discussed Campbell’s superdelegate vote. “She said she knew I had a tough decision to make,” said Campbell.

Campbell said she realizes she is in a unique position, given that she is one of three American Indian superdelegates nationwide. She said she feels it is her responsibility to take more time to listen to voters, including leaders in Indian Country.

I DID MY PART

WHO ELSE DONATED

waited until 3:44 (central) and made a $44.44 contribution to hillary. went to my email to check for receipt (not there yet - maybe they’re a little slow due to massive contributions coming in? hope so).

what i found was another of those howard dean emails wanting money. text of my reply is below:

I just made another contribution to Hillary Clinton.

I will NEVER give a dime to the DNC, because of the DNC’s blatant, unforgivable maneuvering to force an unelectable, un-presidential, un-Mmerican candidate on us.

If Obama is nominated, I will immediately start contributing to the RNC.

I’ve been a completely loyal democrat all my adult life (4 decades). You have changed that.

If you want me back, and millions like me, you will stop your efforts to nominate Obama and stop your efforts to fool democrats into thinking you have our best interests at heart. You will have to earn me back.

I see no indication that you intend to even try, so I guess I’ll have to become a McCain democrat. Your doing.

have sent similar replies every time they ask for money. never get an answer. they keep asking so i guess they’re not reading my messages. will keep trying.

“Why can’t I just eat my waffle?” he said, when asked a foreign policy question by a reporter at the Glider Diner.

Obama: ‘Why can’t I just eat my waffle?’

Every time he’s asked questions he seems to complain. You’d think he’d be used to it by now.

ABC website has the announcement that Barry doesn’t want to debate in NC again, so it has been cancelled.

Call it what you will … he looks totally frightened to face any media scrutiny or to take on Senator Clinton.

Comments there are not really looking favorably on this move.

Debate Cancelled For Obama posted by OxyCon

We can’t let Barry Obama look bad, can we?
This is the debate that Obama defiantly said he would not attend, after he got his clock cleaned in Philly.

North Carolina Democratic Presidential Debate CANCELLED

We regret to inform you that the proposed Democratic Presidential Debate scheduled for April 27 has been cancelled due to time constraints and logistical issues associated with such a large, national event.

You have shown tremendous passion and interest in being a part of history as Democrats are poised this year to elect the first female or African-American President. However, there were also growing concerns about what another debate would do to party unity.

From NBC/NJ’s Aswini Anburajan

SCRANTON, PA — Chomping down on sausage and waffles at Glider’s Diner in Scranton today, with his Pennsylvania BFF (Sen. Bob Casey) at his side, Obama avoided commenting on former President Jimmy Carter’s meeting with Hamas.

Asked by a reporter if he had heard that Carter reported a positive outcome from the meeting, Obama looked sternly at the reporter in question and said, “Why can’t I just eat my waffle?”

Asked again by the reporter, Obama bit — not at the question but into a butter covered bite of Glider’s specialty over-size Belgian waffles. With a wink this time he said, “Just let me eat my waffle.”

Let him eat his damn waffle, ’cause HRC is gonna DRINK HIS MILKSHAKE!!!

You can add then to the list below!!!

1. As a young woman, Hillary Rodham worked as a babysitter both after school and during her vacation breaks, sometimes watching the children of migrant Mexicans brought to the Chicago area for itinerant work

2. She worked at various jobs during her summers as a college student, once in a canning factory in Alaska, in 1969.

3. Hillary Clinton volunteered at Yale’s Child Study Center, learning about new research on early childhood brain development, as well as New Haven Hospital, where she took on cases of child abuse and the city Legal Services, providing free legal service to the poor.

4. Perhaps the most successful component of her accomplishments as First Lady was initiating the Children’s Health Insurance Program in 1997, a federal effort that provided state support for those children whose parents were unable to provide them with health coverage.

5. She also successfully sought to increase the research funding for illnesses such as prostate cancer and childhood asthma at the National Institute of Health.

6. The First Lady also gave voice to the illnesses that were affecting veterans of the Gulf War, with the possibility of their suffering the toxic side effects of chemical “Agent Orange” used in warfare.

7. In the spring of 1974, she returned to Washington as a member of the presidential impeachment inquiry staff advising the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives during the Watergate Scandal.

8. She cited the Adoption and Safe Families Act of 1997 as the achievement she initiated and shepherded that provide her with the greatest satisfaction. Beginning with an article she wrote on orphaned children in 1995, through a series of public events on the issue, policy meetings with Health and Human Service officials, private foundation leaders, the drafting of policy recommendations, and eventually lobbying with legislators led to its passage.

9. The First Lady led a second effort, the Foster Care Independence bill, to help older, unadopted children transition to adulthood. She also hosted numerous White House conferences that related to children’s health, including early childhood development (1997) and school violence (1999).

10. She also supported an annual drive to encourage older women to seek a mammography to prevent breast cancer, coverage of the cost being provided by Medicare.

11. Hillary Clinton was the only First Lady to keep an office in the West Wing among those of the president’s senior staff. While her familiarity with the intricate political issues and decisions faced by the President, she openly discussed his work with him, yet stated that ultimately she was but one of several individuals he consulted before making a decision.

12. She persuaded Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin to convene a meeting of corporate CEOs for their advice on how companies could be persuaded to adopt better child care measures for working families.

13. With Attorney General Janet Reno, the First Lady helped to create the Department of Justice’s Violence Against Women office.

14. One of her closest Cabinet allies was Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Following her international trips, Hillary Clinton wrote a report of her observations for Albright. A primary effort they shared was globally advocating gender equity in economics, employment, health care and education.

15. During her trips to Africa (1997), Asia (1995), South America (1995, 1997) and the Central European former Soviet satellite nations (1997, 1998), Hillary Clinton emphasized “a civil society,” of human rights as a road to democracy and capitalism.

16. The First Lady was also one of the few international figures at the time who spoke out against the treatment of Afghani women by Islamist fundamentalist Taliban that had seized control of Afghanistan

17. One of the programs she helped create was Vital Voices, a U.S.-sponsored initiative to promote the participation of international women in their nation’s political process. One result of the group’s meetings, in Northern Ireland, was drawing together women leaders of various political factions that supported the Good Friday peace agreement that brought peace to that nation long at civil war.

18. Hillary Clinton was also an active supporter of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), often awarding its micro-loans to small enterprises begun by women in developing nations that aided the economic growth in their impoverished communities. Certainly one of her more important speeches as First Lady addressing the need for equal rights for women was international in scope and created controversy in the nation where it was made: the September 1995 United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, China.

19. Also like Eleanor Roosevelt, she authored books during her tenure. For the spoken word version of her book regarding family policies, It Takes a Village, Hillary Clinton was the recipient of the recording industry’s Grammy Award.

20. Hillary Clinton sits on four Senate Committees with a total of eight subcommittee assignments: Senate Committee on Armed Services with three subcommittee assignments, on Airland, on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, and on Readiness and Management Support;

Senate Environment and Public Works Committee with three subcommittee assignments on Clean Air, Wetlands, Private Property, and Nuclear Safety,

on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water and on Superfund, Waste Control, and Risk Assessment;

the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, with two subcommittee assignments, on Aging and on Children and Families; and the Senate Special Committee on Aging.

21. After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center in downtown New York City, Senator Clinton worked to secure $21.4 billion in funding to assist clean up and recovery, to provide health tracking for first responders and volunteers at Ground Zero and to create grants for redevelopment.

22. In 2005, she issued two studies that examined the disbursement of federal homeland security funds to local communities and first responders.

23. Senator Clinton visited American troops in Afghanistan and Ir
