Billary Clinton Un-electable ?

[l-horn]

Now that political discussion has been opened up here, and I guess it always was, I would like to take this opportunity to join in. With the political season upon us I want to make sure that my views, or at least, some view, is consumed by all. If you don't like this thread, please feel free to ignore it and the many others that will follow in the coming months.  

With the general election drawing near, the democrats appear to be on the road to self destruction. As James Carville said last year, 'The only people that can beat the democrats in 08 is the democrats themselvs.' No truer words have been spoken. By nominating a candidate with the highest negative voter rating of any candidate in the last 20 years, they essentially guarantee the republicans could run a monkey for president, again, and win.

But alas the republicans don't have a monkey. They do have a philanderer, a preacher, an actor, and the Manchurian Candidate, but alas, not a monkey in sight. This is bad news for the republicans although democratic voters do have a soft place in their heart for philanderers. Who would have thought 20 or 30 years ago this was a polling plus.

As usual the issues will be lost. The Iraq war has essentially fallen off the map as a major issue for voters, replaced by illegal immigration and the economy. The question is, do the democrats have anyone that can win or was Carville right ?

Thanks for the correction. Geez, thank goodness for Hep C political discussions. Otherwise I wouldn't post to them. lol     All to familar and funny actually.  Wasnt' it Bowling with Bonzo?  Maybe wrong again,  but funny stuff.

Yike...you said you'd vote for anybody, Hillary or OSAMA????  I'll vote for her, but not for him.  I don't know if you know this, but he was responsible for 911, girl!  J/k.  I'm glad we can all talk & laugh about politics without getting lectured.  I remember someone (I think it was someone in this same post) who lamented George Bush--and got a lecture from another poster, who told them this is NOT the place for political talk (maybe it was on the other side of the board).  He went on to say something about "liberal garbage" or something, and the first poster apologized, but didn't demand an apology for what he said--argggh!  Anyway, it's late, I'm not making sense...but I'm just happy that this side of the board is open to other topics than our Hep C--we can all use a little lightening up sometimes!

Maybe I'm not the person to correct since I have already made some big blunders, but do you mean Obama?  Who in the hell would vote for Osama Bin Ladan????  Okay, we can have a laugh now.  It is late! Especially on the East coast

Yup, the cat is definitely out of the bag here....most definitely.

Ya see why we need a political discussion for hepper's?   We would be blown outta the water on some real board. lol

BTW  I agree with what Carville said.  It is true. Just like in the last election, Gore did it to himself pretty much.

Clinton/Obama's campaigns are obviously financed by the Republican party. All the democrats needed to win in 2008 was a candidate whose name wasn't Clinton and didn't rhyme with Osama. The corruption and graft associated with the rebuilding of Iraq has become so blatent at this point, the democrats could have run any unknown middle aged white guy and won.
I normally try to vote based on my opinion of an individual candidate (end up voting Libertarian, Green, Nader, whatever rather than Dem or Repub) but this time will do anything to take the ruling junta out of offfice.
