Enough of this Hillary Is Unelectable Crap

I've had it.

Democrats can't even do a circular firing squad right.

• We're opposed to gun control (expect for Presidential candidates triangulating for independent voters.)
• Half the firing squad will show up late or not at all.
  
• Everyone's against capital punishment so now we're arguing if we can't just taser the luckless bastard.
• And ten percent want Ralph Nader to take over (again), because there's no real difference between a Democratic firing squad and the Republicans.

Horseshit.

"Oh, Hillary can't get elected."

"I'd never vote for Hillary."

"Corpses will rise from their freaking graves" to vote against her, y'all cry.

Yes indeed.

If we're to listen to the frantic whining of you petulant fucks whom clearly God herself couldn't please, if "that woman" is nominated for President, a veritable avalanche of diseased, decaying and deceased Republicans will arise, descend on the polls of America in a shit storm of body parts and blood not seen since Omaha Beach, burying that hapless helpless female and smother the bitch to death.

God bless America.

And some of you go on to say, you won't vote for her either.

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MINDS?

Did Ralph Nader not make an impression on you? Has seven years of George "I'm the Decider and I De-cider" Bush not burned itself in the blood of others into every fucking cell of your body?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE.

Republican. Democratic. There's a difference.

I don't care if the Party of Roosevelt, Kennedy and Clinton nominate a one-eyed three-legged dog for President. If she's on the ticket, I'm voting her in.

No Republicans, no third-party candidates, no withholding votes.

I vote the straight party-line Democratic Party ticket.

Twenty-seven percent of Americans support George Bush. Stop buying into the enemy's frame. They want you to believe Hillary is unelectable. They want you to believe she can't win.

She's a Clinton you fools. Of course she's electable. Why in the hell do you think the enemy is putting so goddamn much effort into convincing you she isn't?!

Knock it off. Stop doing their work. Stop talking up their frame -- it's a lie.

A one-eyed three-legged dog. I don't care who is on the Democratic Ticket. They get all my support and every dollar I can spare.

Republicans are the enemy. The Democratic Party is our friend and the hope of 220 years of the United States of America.

Is there a difference between the candidates in the Democratic Party? Of course. Campaign away, fight hard, and may the candidate you dream of, win the nomination. But when the nomination's locked, shut the hell up, get behind the plow and push.

If you don't get we're fighting for the survival of the United States, you're not paying attention.

Hilary Clinton is incredibly electable. The people who have you believing otherwise are Republicans and their media allies, terrified they can't beat her.

Stop buying lies. Stop spreading lies.

Knock that "unelectable" crap off.

Right Wing Rudy Take-down

27%

Of Republicans Would Vote for Pro-Life Third Party Instead of Giuliani

That 27% number keeps popping up.

It's the hard-core Bush-love Jebus-praising closeted-torture-loving one out of four fetus worshipers who it seems just don't have any love for the adulterous pro-abortion pro-gay New York liberal racist 9/11 9/11 9/11 9/11 Tourette‘s syndrome icon, Mr. Rudy "my wife & I always talk on the cell phone since 9/11 even through the surgical staples" Giuliani.

Praise the Lord.

Rasmussen Reports

A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that a three-way race with Hillary Clinton would end up with the former First Lady getting 46% of the vote, Giuliani with 30% and the third-party option picking up 14%. In head-to-head match-ups with Clinton, Giuliani is much more competitive.

Electability is a crucial issue for Giuliani because two-thirds of Republican voters seen him as politically moderate or liberal. That is a challenge unto itself in a political party where most primary voters consider themselves politically conservative. Fred Thompson is currently viewed as the most conservative candidate in the field.

Three of the last four Presidential elections have seen a candidate win with less than 50% of the total votes cast. If Hillary Clinton wins the Democratic Presidential nomination, there is a very reasonable possibility that neither major party candidate would top the 50% mark in Election 2008. With such a scenario, third party candidates on either side of the political spectrum could play a significant role by peeling away one or two percentage points of the vote.

It gets worth for his 9/11-ship. Oh yes oh yes, it gets worse...

MyDD

What A Right-Wing Challenge To Rudy Would Mean

As I wrote on Sunday, the evangelical movement's version of the Stonecutters held a super secret meeting on Saturday during which they apparently "decided to consider" supporting a third party challenger in the presidential race if Rudy Giuliani becomes the Republican nominee. Family Research Council's Tony Perkins, who attended the meeting, tried to pushback a bit on that story on Monday's Hardball:

This was more of a proclamation of principle, rather than a declaration of intent. There`s no desire to run a third-party candidate. But there`s been a line drawn, which I think most pro-life conservatives are not willing to cross.

But today, in a New York Time oped, Focus On The Family's James Dobson confirms that that line they decided to draw was indeed between their support and a Rudy Giuliani presidency:

The purpose of the gathering was to discuss our response if both the Democratic and Republican Parties nominate standard-bearers who are supportive of abortion. Although I was neither the convener nor the moderator of the meeting, I'd like to offer several brief clarifications about its outcome and implications.

After two hours of deliberation, we voted on a resolution that can be summarized as follows: If neither of the two major political parties nominates an individual who pledges himself or herself to the sanctity of human life, we will join others in voting for a minor-party candidate. Those agreeing with the proposition were invited to stand. The result was almost unanimous.

Or as TPM puts it:

Talking Points Memo

27% of Republican voters would rather vote for a third-party Christian right candidate in a general election than vote for Rudy Giuliani — and that's in a three-way race with Hillary Clinton.

The hypothetical three-way race shows Hillary with 46% support, Rudy at 30%, and the third-party conservative with 14%. Among self-described pro-life voters, Rudy gets only 36% support, with the third-party candidate at 29% and Hillary with 23%. Not just that, but Rudy gets only 25% of pro-choice voters, with Hillary still walking away comfortably with 65%.

• If these numbers hold up...
• If Dobson runs a third-party candidate
• Giuliani loses 2-3 conservative votes for
• Every 1 socially liberal independent vote he gains.

To win, he'd have to flip-flop, swing HARD right, except the right will never trust him.

The right at that point has their anti-abortion pro-torture candidate. The true heart of the country has the Democratic Party. And Giuliani gets smeared.

Oh, people are just getting started. Couldn't happened to a bigger turd.

“Jiffy Pop, bitches!”
