Gee, did Hillary see her shadow today? Will it be 4 years of bad luck?

Both candidates should look to a Kennedy quote

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.
JFK 1-2-61

And if I adjust the quote to make a point for them….

And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your GOVERNMENT can do for you – ask what you can do for your GOVERNMENT. My fellow citizens of the world: ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Executive summary:

- “See that everyone? We like each other now. The next debate will be conducted from Barry’s magic lap.”

- “We have no specific plans except 1) make sure Iraq collapses for good 2) tax you suckers back to the days of Moses 3) blame Bush for 1) and 2)

- “You want change? He’s a brother and I’ve got cans! How many minds is that going to blow some minds out in the sticks!”

- Cackle, communism, retreat, mandate, ugly chick from Ugly Betty, pucker, smooch, and another cackle. Repeat ad inifitum

After Super Global Warming Tuesday if Obama is clearly lagging the Hill, you will see a Hill/Obama love fest break out and that will be your ticket for the election. An unbeatable ticket. If Obama hangs tough and remains close allowing him to think he has an outside shot at the nomination, he will stay in it to the convention. I’d be suprised if these negotiations wern’t already happening. Imagin how great it would be for the both of them to begin bashing Republicans weeks before the convention. Remember, these are strange times. Couple that with the Clinton’s will do anything to get back into the Oval Office and you have the Perfect Storm.

As far as Hillary needing to watch out for BHO in the West Wing, it’ll be her house and she will be wearing the pants. She could senf ol’ Billy Bob donw the hallway to quiet things up or ship BHO around the world to butter up our friends. Then, and only then, can the Clintons secure their legacy of being the first “black” president’s.

That would mean you, since you said “we”.
Glad that you recognize yourself as one of the “spoiled bullies”. Speak for yourself, as you did. Let the others speak for themselves.

Can you please clarify/expand on this?

Huh. I showed up to see what the HuckaHouseflies had to contribute to a thread about our opponents. Surprise, we got through the picnic, and no Houseflies showed up.

Dang. I wonder where those little Houseflies are. Kinda miss their buzzing.

I watched most of it.

My wife made me turn it off though. She doesn’t allow porn in the house, and she said she didn’t want the kids to see Wolf giving Obama a blow job.

terryanne — a “Democrat who is the most moderate and who will work our military leaders the best and also will be willing to compromise on health care” doesn’t exist.

What you see — two flaming communo-socialsts — is what we will get.

And it’s not made any easier by the Coulters, Limbaughs, Hannitys, et al — trying to enforce ideological purity on us.

If there is any hope, it lies with getting either McCain or Romney nominated and elected. I fear either will make things worse, but compared to what we’d get with Obamarry, we will be living in a Golden Age.

Is anyone being a spoiled bully? Why yes, I think you could describe John McCain as a spoiled bully based on his debate performance last night as well as his performance two days before the Florida primary.

I honestly believe neither Romney or McCain will beat Hillary or Barack. I think right now we need to hope the Democrat who is the most moderate and who will work our military leaders the best and also will be willing to compromise on health care will win. I don’t know who that is. The Democratic base is enthused and they are going to get what they’ve been wanting and what they think they should have had 7 years ago. I don’t think they are beatable this year.

JDH — I don’t think McCain can beat all the promises, programs and sell-outs the Dems are offering.

Hell, if G-d was a conservative (and I think He must be — he couldn’t beat these two.

One of those two is going to be the next C-in-C.

We’re the ones who are going to be waterboarded. Or at least reduced to abject poverty so Osama Obama or The Hildebeest can ~~pander to~~ help their downtrodden constituencies.

Still think McCain looks bad?

Obama, if he ever wants a shot at the presidency (I still think Hillary is the nominee) better stay away from the Clintons. I’ll point to Gore to emphasise that point.
