Is Hillary Running To Be McCain’s VP?
| Here is why Keith Olbermann is the only person in the MSM that I trust to point out the obvious. In this clip Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow discuss Hillary’s recent tactics. They discuss her Republicanesque fearmongering tactics, her hypocritical lack of any experience that has tested her (contrary to all of her claims) and lastly how she is backstabbing the Democratic Party. Watch: | |
Now I’ve written at length about Hillary’s use of fearmongering to try to win the nomination, and I’ve written about how her record in no way reflects the experience that she claims she has, but I haven’t written anything about her recent comments where she basically said McCain would make a better president that Obama. There really isn’t much that needs to be said though. You don’t have to read into these comments to find their true meaning, the implications are obvious. She believes experience is what it is all about, she goes on to say only her and McCain have experience, Obama doesn’t (which again is total bullshit, because her experience isn’t any better than Obama’s), yet Hillary isn’t going to be our nominee, she knows the probability of her winning is next to nothing, so why stab your own party in the back by saying your nominee is less ready to be president than your supposed enemy? As usual, there is absolutely no reason for it, and no justification. She isn’t doing it to win, she is doing it out of spite, to sabotage Obama, because if she can’t win, she doesn’t want anyone to win, because this is all about her and her political ambition, and not about what is best for the Democratic Party, not about what is best for the country, not about the voters, not about the issues, not about the children or the middle class, it is about her quest for power, period. As I noted yesterday, Bill Richardson criticized Hillary for attacking fellow Democrats. I hope this signals the beginning of Democrats coming together and telling her to stop attacking Obama, stop the vendetta, stop backstabbing your own party, stop acting like a Republican.
What was most striking about this video clip was at the very end when Keith Olbermann asked if it was fair to say that Hillary was saying McCain would be a better choice for president than Obama, Rachel Maddow, who can almost always be counted on to take Hillary’s side in a debate somberly replied:
That’s what you say when you want to be John McCain’s vice presidential choice, that’s not what you say when you’re trying to become the Democratic nominee for president.Olbermann’s response: “Unbelievable”, exactly. Unbelievable. And this isn’t some kind of secret, it is blatant and out in the open backstabbing, and everyone (minus Hillary and her hardcore supporters) knows that what she is doing is the worst possible thing for Democrats, and the best possible thing for Republicans (minus us actually nominating Hillary). Rush Limbaugh is trying to get his supporters to go out and vote for Hillary in Texas to keep her in the race in order to keep her backstabbing Obama for McCain, so McCain can keep his hands clean while Hillary does all of the Republicans’ dirty work for them, pro bono:
I want Hillary to stay in this, Laura. This is too good a soap opera. We need Barack Obama bloodied up politically, and it’s obvious that the Republicans are not going to do it and don’t have the stomach for it.So I guess what I’m trying to say is, WAKE UP DEMOCRATS!! HILLARY IS THROWING OUR PARTY UNDER THE BUS AND HELPING THE REPUBLICANS! SHE IS OUT OF CONTROL AND MUST BE STOPPED!! PUT AN END TO THIS NOW!!!!
As you probably know, we’re getting all kinds of memos from the RNC saying not to be critical there. Mark MacKinnon of McCain’s campaign says he’ll quit if they get critical over Obama.
This is the presidency of the United States you’re talking about. I want our party to win. I want the Democrats to lose. They’re in the midst of tearing themselves apart right now. It is fascinating to watch, and it’s all going to stop if Hillary loses.
So yes, I’m asking to cross over and, if they can stomach it — I know it’s a difficult thing to do to vote for a Clinton — but it will sustain this soap opera, and it’s something I think we need. It would be fun, too.
