Ohhhh, is this delicious, or what?

Take it all the way to the convention floor Hill&Bill!!
This is going to go nowhere unless Hillary wants to be persona non grata. Didn't Pelosi even say to her recently "Don't threaten me"!!!?

If your second massacre happens, then we might has well change our name to France because with that many stupid people in the US then we might as well turn ourselves into a socialist country like France because that is what you are going to get.

For some reason I trust the people not to make that mistake again.

Pelosi, Reid and Co. have shown us they are not capable of running anything.

Why would you want more of the same failures in office?

Yes, the dems are scared and going back to the attack mode.
If you think 2006 was bad... just wait till november.

Yes, yes, we've heard it all before. You'll show us alright. As we sit back and watch the Democratic Party cannibalize itself.

Ummm, at least not without doing some research. The economy has been tanking ever since BUSH took office. Or, have you only recently began paying attention? The value of the dollar since 2000 has fallen to levels that are just embarrassing. Thank you Mr. President.

And as far as gas prices, well, you can thank your party leader for that too - he inherited a surplus of cash and spent it all in less than a year! Since we've been Bushed, our gas has quadrupled during his tenure ($1.00 in 2000; $4.00 in 2008). Here is a nice colorful chart for you: Gas Price Graph. And apparently we've seen prices this high before...whoda thunk it?

So, your theory of Dems ruining things just isn't supported by historical data, but nice try.

Exactly! This is why the Repubs won't win in November!

Bill pushing the VP spot tells me they know she is finished for any possibility of her getting this nomination. She can take it to the moon as far as I'm concerned. IT WILL BE THE SAME OUTCOME. Obama will be the nominee!
Go Obama go!

Gawd I hope not, we are not that stupid as a country to allow the new democratic disaster party to continue to turn this country downward.

Based on their performance, who or what knucklehead would vote for a democrat to congress after 2 years of ruining our economy, allowing people to lose their homes in record numbers etc. This congress is an utter failure, why add more nuts to the group?

The massacre already happened, when we voted these losers into office from all their promised to fix everything. Guess we got fooled.

My, how soon we forget.

Remember 9/11? The massive hit on our economy.

"W" has done an excellent job with the economy. I imagine if a dem was in office, you would be singing a different tune.

Low unemployment, low taxes, low interest rate, very good GDP growth, excellent stock market rebound after 9/11. I could go on.

Clinton Jumps The Shark: Says Michigan Florida Delegate Dispute Is Like Slavery And Vote Suppression
Hillary Clinton compared her effort to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to epic American struggles, including those to free the slaves and win the right to vote for blacks and women.
…”In Florida, you learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren’t counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner,” she said. “The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear: if any votes aren’t count, the will of the people isn’t realized and our democracy is diminished.”
The only problem: Clinton herself had earlier agreed to the party’s plan to punish Florida and Michigan. It was only after she needed the delegates that she changed course. For some reason when it looked as if she was a shoo in for the nomination the will of the people in Florida and Michigan were not as compelling to defend.
I agree with this article's point of view in this bizarre matter. It continues (my emphasis):
Andrew Sullivan has quotes from Hillary Clinton’s website and the quotes are even more polarizing than the ones in the news story. Sullivan writes:
She agreed that Michigan and Florida should be punished for moving up their primaries. Obama took his name off the ballot in deference to their agreement and the rules of the party. That he should now be punished for playing by the rules and she should be rewarded for skirting them is unconscionable.

I think she has now made it very important that Obama not ask her to be the veep. The way she is losing is so ugly, so feckless, so riddled with narcissism and pathology that this kind of person should never be a heartbeat away from the presidency.

No kidding. We conservatives/republicans have known this forever.

It's amazing to me the dems/libs are just now figuring the type of people the clintons are.

And all you dems/libs; If not for Obama, you would still be supporting the clintons.

You realize you are the only one who believes this? The Housing Boom/Bubble helped carry us through this wartime with "W." Americans have been living off of money they don't have...I guess they copied our fearless leader, since he's been robbin' peter to pay paul for his war! Now that the Housing Bubble has burst, unemployment is on the rise, as construction workers and many others employed in anything remotely tied to the housing industry, jobs come tumbling down.

Low interest rates?? Are you serious? The federal interest rate being low for so long has had a direct negative effect on our DOLLAR! And, most consumer interest rates are not "low" anymore. The banks aren't going to starve themselves for our sake.

We are living off of credit as a nation and that's not good, excellent, or even sustainable.

But please, keep living in your fish bowl, the big blue ocean is just too much water for you to handle.
