I just hope they don't question his pink hearts, yellow moons, orange stars and green clovers.

That would just be wrong.

Mother of Dog! Are they going to argue about who's the most liberal?

Say it isn't so. Ohhhh my this is rich. Break out the Lib-O-Meter.

 
ragekage [TotalFark] 2008-03-09 07:41:10 PM  
Don't forget his pots of gold, rainbows, and red balloons.

That would be an even greater travesty.

I simply cannot comprehend what world Clinton exists on. It certainly isn't ours.

Hillary: Barack, you're too Liberal.
Obama: Hillary, you're a Commie.
Hillary: No, you are. A big fat one.
Obama: Nu huh, sister. you are.
Hillary: am not
Obama: are too

/this is too much

And that differs in what important aspect from the Republican "I'll nuke America's enemies twice as much as you'll do it" circle jerk?

Her husband won becuase he ran as a centrist. She should have taken that stance long ago. I can see why she was trying to appeal to the far left early on though.

Obama is "too liberal" because he:
-takes vast gobs of campaign cash from ruthless transnational corporations
-supports the war
-supports USA-PATRIOT Act, torture
-wants to bomb Iran, Pakistan
-supports the US-Israel Axis of Apartheid

Git 'er done, Clinton.

In what world does she live? Is she even a Democrat?

I seriously wonder what her life is like. Does she have close friends? In private, who does she hang out with? I mean, she doesn't exactly have a close marriage in any emotional way. What the hell kind of person is this?

Questioning if he's too liberal to win a general election is a major and legitimate concern for many of his supporters. Calling him the 'most liberal senator' is just plain dishonest.

I can't take this crap anymore. I'm so tired... So, so tired...

This will cause me to do two things:

1) Donate as much as I can spare to Obama, and
2) Stop caring about politics until the convention is over.

 
El Uno Magnifico 2008-03-09 11:21:04 PM  
Saying a candidate is too liberal or too conservative to win an election is revealing ones ignorance concerning politics. It's not so simple as a straight-line continuum.

Bill Frist 2008-03-09 11:22:00 PM  
The Clinton camp has the most contradictory spin ever.

One second Obama is too much of a centrist who loves Reagan and isn't for universal health care. The next he is too liberal.

One minute Obama is not ready to be president. The next he is the ideal VP, one step away from the presidency.

One minute Obama is only popular with latte-sipping hippies. The next he is only popular with irrelevant red state democrats.

etc.
etc.

 
LittleSmitty 2008-03-09 11:23:02 PM

In theory, perhaps. But not when his opponent is Hillary Clinton, somone despised by independents and moderate republicans.

Whether or not Clinton is a liberal in reality, she wont' be getting the votes of anyone afraid of liberals, so pretending Obama's liberalness would be a liability vis-a-vis Clinton is idiotic.

Hey, Obama hasn't played this "you are too liberal!!!" game at all. At least yet.

I can't wait for Hillary to go to the ultimate attack on Barack: That he's only in it for power, that he doesn't care about the American people and he should stop campaigning for the good of the nation!

(Look in a mirror.)

Agreed; but that doesn't make calling him on it unfair in any way.

 
Falcc 2008-03-09 11:33:33 PM  
She was raised a republican neo-con, she's continually voted as a republican neo-con, she's campaigning like a republican neo-con. Scortched earth tactics, fear mongering, mudslinging, lobbyist pandering. It is not to say democrats do not do these things, simply that none can do them quite so well and all at the same time.

She is, for all intensive purposes, a republican. She's even got a potentially wide stance. You can't hide either of these things forever, and it's becoming ever more obvious as time goes on.

 
dervish16108 2008-03-09 11:34:36 PM  
Obama's not liberal enough IMO. But I'll give him a pass. Gobama!

I'll let you in on a secret. This is a woman who wants it so bad she'll kill for it.

Please - don't pass your shiat off on us. Be man enough to take the hit for your own screwups. Do you see us calling Bush a Democrat? Nothing is more disgusting than watching you gutless Dems try to wipe your own dogs crap off your shoe on our lawn.

 
Mouse21a 2008-03-09 11:41:30 PM  
How about the theory that she is playing for McCain... Ruin Obama McCain wins... mainly because without the Super-dels pulling some shiat she cannot win. So she goes after Obama to end him, set McCain up to win and in 4 years it's her turn.

Just a thought.

 
Planterz 2008-03-09 11:46:32 PM  
Do you see us calling Bush a Democrat?

Yes, quite a bit. It started in 2006 when the buyers remorse fully set in, and usually concerned Bush's spending and immigration stance.

Nice try, tho.

 
cast55 2008-03-09 11:46:39 PM  
Arguing sides when you have three right wing candidates competing against each other is a little surreal, from a non-US perspective.

 
quizzical 2008-03-09 11:49:47 PM  
Translation: The Clinton campaign will say anything to win. Obvious tag must be out on a dinner break.

Candidates try to appeal to the center of their party first, and then run toward the center of the electorate after the primaries.

DamnYankees: I'm waiting for the "Barack is riding the coattails of his wife" argument.

Some troll the other day was claiming that Obama had never held a "real" job and most of his life consisted of being supported by his wife. So, I guess we can say that that one is at least out there floating around the internet

INTENTS AND PURPOSES. FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES. What the hell are "intensive purposes?"

GAAAHHHH!

She's already kind of done that. Remember his kindergarten papers? Claiming he is only doing it out of some long held ambition.

Ahem, I'll have you know I'm a gutless Independent who voted for Obama in the primary. My first year old enough to vote and I already know not to grow too attached to any one party, maybe you'll get there sometime. The republicans might have been where it was at back when Barry Goldwater was the face of the party but we're in 2008 now and the face of the party is Bush, who Hillary is almost exactly like. Her campaign style is the same, her backers are the same, her goals are quite obviously the same, lip service to universal healthcare and declaration of taxes for all aside. Whether you like democrats or not she is certainly one in name only. Which is why she's so close to Lieberman.

And to be entirely realistic if Bush's numbers fall any further FOX will start placing a (D) in front of his name.

Lando Lincoln [TotalFark] 2008-03-10 12:05:02 AM  
This is getting downright insane. A member of the Democratic Party - accusing her opponent of being too much of a liberal? Wha?

Hillary, when you steal Karl Rove's playbook, you have to make some slight modifications to the text. Swap "Republican" with "Democrat" and "liberal" with "conservative." Dumbass.

Hey, you guys did the same thing to McCain, and I didn't see you laughing then.

Hillary's basically going Romney on his ass. We all know how well that worked.

Ah, the cry of the modern Republican: "for thee, but not for me!"

;)
