It Ends Tonight
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Or at least it should but who knows if Clinton is even properly attached to reality anymore. She has been living the last few months in a land of unicorns and rainbows. Funnily enough that land of make believe is right next door to the “permanent war is good” land of make believe that McBush is living in.
This just in: Clinton to ride a candy coated unicorn to deliver a speech tonight where, according to her campaign, she will not concede but she will acknowledge that Obama has enough delegates to win the nomination. I am actually getting quite sick of Clinton moving the goalposts.
I don’t know how Clinton and her rabid supporters can overlook what has been obvious to the rest of the planet: It is over. It has been over for a long time now. Pack up, go home, the game is over.
One thing that you probably won’t hear all that much tonight is that there is a Republican primary in New Mexico too. Pay attention to that one and see what percentage of the vote John W. McBush actually gets. The Republican party is hardly unified behind him. Hell, even just today Cheney was criticizing McBush and his plan to cut the gas tax for the summer.
Obama has been playing this one well. While Clinton still takes shots at him while trying to stay relevant he has started acting like the Democratic nominee. He has been ignoring her and focusing his attacks directly at Old Man Warmonger.
A question I have to any McCain supporters that read this:
Why didn’t McCain support the new G.I. bill? Why didn’t he even bother to show up to vote on it?
As a veteran he should be appalled by the way this administration has treated the troops. Inadequate supplies of body armor, inadequate care when they come home. And that is just the tip of this bloody iceberg. How can you, John McCain, in good conscience say you support our troops when you are not willing to even give them better college benefits when they come home. If they come home.
Our soldiers fight and die every day, every minute of every god damned day for this bullshit war that you want so badly to inherit and you aren’t willing to even help them better their lives when they come home.
The act is, you don’t support our troops. The fact is, you are just using them for your own political gain.
I have two more words for you McCain:
Fuck You.
Clinton Stops Exaggerating, Turns To Lying For Comfort.
Friday, March 28th, 2008Buried within the wall of text at http://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/women/ is a little tidbit that you may find interesting.
As First Lady, she helped pass the Family and Medical Leave Act
Oh, that was nice of her.
Her husband was inaugurated on January 20, 1993 and signed FMLA into law on February 5, 1993, only 16 days later. Goddamn Hillary is a fast worker. Or is she trying to pull a fast one? I checked theough her recently released White House schedule and the only thing that is mentioned about FMLA at all is about making an appearance at the signing.
Looks like it is another case of Hillary counting smiling and waiving as actual work. That makes her one silly hat away from being Queen Elizabeth II.
Holy balls that is creepy.
Who deserves credit for FMLA? Why, it is none other then bill author and former presidential candidate Chris Dodd.
1986
Senator Chris Dodd introduced the Parental and Medical Leave Act on April 9, 1986, to provide job security and health insurance protection to working parents who must take leave to care for family members (newborn or adopted child; seriously ill child, spouse or elderly parent).
1987-98
Reintroduced the Parental and Medical Leave Act. The bill was brought to the Senate floor in October 1988, but was later shelved in the face of a Republican filibuster and a veto threat from President Reagan.
1989-90
Reintroduced as the Family and Medical Leave Act on February 2, 1989 and August 3, 1990. The measure passed the Senate unanimously on June 14, 1990, but was vetoed by President Bush on June 29, 1990. The House failed to override the veto on July 25, 1990.
1991-92
Reintroduced the Family and Medical Leave Act on January 24, 1991. The bill passed the Senate by a two-thirds vote of 65-32 on October 2, 1991.
1993
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 passed both houses and was the first bill signed into law by President Clinton. FMLA provides job security for millions of Americans by providing up to 12 weeks unpaid leave per year to care for a family member.
And he is still going:
2007
Dodd announces intention to introduce FMLA legislation for the 21st century to provide the resources necessary to help families who otherwise could not afford to take unpaid leave, take the leave they need as result of an illness, to care for an aging parent, or to care for a new child.
Damnit Hillary, stop taking credit for everyone else’s work because you were standing in the proximity.
Yoko Clinton.
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Tuzla airport, Boznia
March 1996:
“I certainly do remember that trip to Bosnia, and as Togo said, there was a saying around the White House that if a place was too small, too poor, or too dangerous, the president couldn’t go, so send the First Lady. That’s where we went. I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
Macedonia
May 1999:
“negotiated open borders to let fleeing refugees into safety from Kosovo.”
The Macedonian border opened a full day before she arrived.
It seems like Clinton can’t keep her foot out of her damned mouth. She keeps talking about her “foreign policy experience” but it turns out that is like Yoko Ono claiming she was a Beatle. Unless, that is, you count a trip to Bosnia with Sheryl Crow and the comedian Sinbad. I hope this makes people realize that her political experience really amounts to being a face.
How dumb does she think we are?
She didn’t think she would see any opposition on her trek to the presidency and now that she is coming in second she is flailing about trying to keep her ass afloat. Even if that means using the tactics of Karl Rove. I guess this is her reaction to what she saw as her birthright being pried from her hands.
What do you think she would do as president if she can’t even keep her cool here.
Lucky for us she has no chance of winning the nomination as long as the super delegates follow the will of the people.
