After Janeane Garafalo calling us racists for protesting high taxes and Sandra Bernhardt suggesting Sarah Palin should be gang-raped, Conservatives are probably used to being called every name in the book. But apparently Liberals don't like how it feels when actual points are made about the way they do business.
I was on one of my favorite sites recently, where a poster suggested that the libs get to create a video using the absolute worst things Repubs have said, and the GOP gets to do the same thing for the Dems. Well, I apparently found the Libs' video:

It's someone else's blog, but Media Matters (a partisan group started by the Hills Clinton)
I was going to do the bombshell here and now, but I think I will do it in the next post because I just thought of something. I realized in my very first post here, I had said that Hillary bowed out of the the Presidential race in hopes of becoming the Veep for Obambi. But did anyone really think that would happen?
Hillary wants the top job. She's never been the type of lady to play second string. The reason she stayed with Billy Bob is because they are the power couple. It wasn't for love or even for money; she doesn't need either (cuz she's a rich robot). It was that undying thirst for power that they both have. Bill hasn't been able to keep his mouth shut since he was termed out, and we all know he was willing to ride on Hillary's skirt tails all the way back to the big house, so they could return all of the stuff they stole on their way out the first time, and he could go back to riding other women's skirt tails in leisure.
That's part of why Hillary lost (everyone could see she just wanted to be Mrs. President), but it's also why, should the Messiah lose, she will be the party nominee come 2012. Here's the facts (as askaconservative sees them):
Hillz doesn't want to pull a John McCain and be 70 by the time she's able to run again (if Osbama wins). So she's going to do everything she can to subtly undermine him. Not enough for anyone to notice; just enough to put the old fart in office so's she can run against him and win (as she was, of course, meant to). You could hear it in her voice at the convention; she did everything but outrightly say, "I think this man should be President and I support him." That's a tactical move on her part: when he loses, she can gather all of the tearful Dems and say, "Hush now, hush. Didn't mother Hillary tell you? You can't move so far left and expect to win in a center/center-right country. It's okay babies, mama's here now and will make it all better in 2012."
The best move Hillary can make for Hillary right now is to tell the media to knock it off about Sarah Palin. The whole "lipstick on a pig" thing, the condescending looks and vocal inflections (I'm looking at you, Charlie Gibson), picking on her pregnant daughter and wondering if she can handle motherhood and the Vice Presidency at the same time. After all, Sarah's the incarnation of everything the feminist movement has been fighting for, except--oh yeah, she's a Conservative. A principled conservative who stands by her beliefs.
However, Hillary did exactly what she shouldn't have done, by pulling out of a demonstration she was scheduled to be at, just because Sarah Palin was there. How awesome would it have been to see them standing together for a common cause, much like her hubby and Bush 1 do for all the oversees tsunamis and earthquakes. But Hillscary has never been able to share the spotlight, and she probably didn't want to stand next to someone who would make her look even older.
I'm really interested to see what happens with the Clintons come November 5. They were played by the far left wing of their party, and their motto has always been "destroy all enemies."
Ok, now I'll do the bombshell. I'm finally back to being on top of things here!
So today Hillary sold her soul in hopes to become the Vice President--she bowed out and endorsed Obama. To be honest, I was rather surprised. I thought she would at least take it to the convention, and would have been only mildly surprised if she had pulled a Tonya Harding on Obama's Nancy Kerrigan. I mean, it wouldn't be the first time.
But for you diehard Hillarians, have hope. It's still possible for Obama to be "rubbed out." If you know what I mean. After all, who takes power in the event that the President becomes unable to perform his duties? You guessed it. Perhaps that's why she's eager to get the number two spot. The number one spot wouldn't be that difficult to get ahold of.
I personally don't see the point in wanting to be Vice President, especially if you're already a Senator. After all, the Vice President doesn't even vote in the Senate, unless it's a dead tie (something Obama is a little too familiar with for my taste. The lack of voting, I mean)! So I can't help but have this creeping feeling at the nape of my neck that, should Hillary become the Veep, she won't be in that capacity very long.
In short, Obama is now between a rock and a hard place. The difficult part is just deciding which one is Hillary as VP (which could bring about his demise) and Hillary as not VP (which could cost him the election). Decisions, decisions.
Got a question? Ask away!
