Hillary Clinton Concedes Nomination to Obama

Its not over yet...

Or maybe she doesn't. Stay tuned, there's more to come. Michelle Malkin says its a going to be a two bags of popcorn night for political junkies. I'm going to bed early, popcorn gives me indigestion. Shovel away, Barry.

Hillary Clinton doesn't pump her own gas

You should be taxing the rich, memsahib, not the gas.

Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn't driven a car or pumped gas in many years because of Secret Service restrictions. When she is in St. Louis, Mahatma Gandhi pumps her gas.

Gas tax holiday? I see it as a double-edged sword that will only cut in my favor. Call me selfish. You'd be right.

Damned with faint praise

From Tony Harnden, Washington correspondent at Telegraph Blogs:

Standing in his cowboy boots on the back of a 1941 Ford pick-up truck in tiny Zebulon (population: 4,329), Bill Clinton bestowed on his wife Hillary what he perhaps considers the ultimate accolade. She would, he stated gallantly, be an even better president than he was.

Thats not saying much, is it?

Compare and Contrast

LBJ's 'Daisy' scare ad - 1964 campaign

Many youngsters don't know what it was like having atomic bombs pointed at us day and night, year after year by Rooskies who were even flakier then than they are now. Democrat Lyndon Johnson used this ad showing a child pulling daisy petals off morphing into a missile countdown and nuclear blast to leverage this fear in his run for the White House. I guess it worked, LBJ beat out Barry Goldwater. (What a shame!) The Johnson campaign was widely criticized for resorting to such tactics.

Now we have this ad from high-road Hillary trying to elevate the fear of today's world instability to the level of our old fear of Mutually Assured Destruction. I invite you to compare an contrast the two Democrat videos.

Hillary's '3:00AM' scare ad - 2008 campaign

Talk about tearing a page right out of nasty old Lyndon Baines Johnson's playbook. What next, Ms. Clinton, another Gulf of Tonkin? Maybe dog torture? Vote for me or I'll pull the puppy's ears off!
---
Update: Obama weighs in. Barack Obama has released his own ad in response to Hillary's 'fear mongering'. [No link yet, but I saw it on Fox. I think.] In it, Barack appears to be saying that its time to quit worrying about the 9/11 Jihad attacks on the US. I guess we won the GWOT, and the Jihad is no longer a threat. Now thats real hope in action!

Cop a laugh

Rush Limbaugh has suggested that Hillary Clinton will defeat Barack Obama through the workings of her well-established political machine. Maybe, if you include criminal election riggers in Hillary's 'machine'.

Stink-eye or wink?

It depends on what the meaning of union is.

No comment on the context; I'm no fan of unionism either. What about that face on Hillary Clinton? Is it a wink, or is Hillary giving someone the stink-eye?

ABC News: Unfair to notice Hillary's "looks"

Too much make-up or not enough Bondo?

ABC News, in an odd article suggests that Hillary Clinton's appearance is "overly scrutinized". The writer quotes none other than Geraldine Ferraro to the effect that this emphasis on the candidate's looks is "sexist". Geraldine doesn't name exactly who is to blame for this blatant misogyny, but it seems to me that this is a case of the MSM criticizing itself. The only place I've seen unflattering photos of Hillary Clinton is in the news media.

While I don't see anything inherently wrong with publishing pictures of public figures without airbrushing out the wrinkles and softening the focus, I detect a veiled hypocrisy in ABC story. To wit, and I quote Mizz Ferraro:

Nobody is going to say they don't like how [Illinois Sen.] Barack Obama looks and nobody is going to say that about [former North Carolina Sen.] John Edwards.

Baloney! What about Barack's big, protruding ears? John Edwards' costly haircuts and his girlish primping? Where was Geraldine and her friends at ABC News when the liberals beat up on Florida's Katherine Harris for her 'looks' back when they were accusing her of helping George Bush steal the 2000 presidential election from Al Gore?

You know Hillary colors her hair, but when Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson used a little Grecian Formula, everybody took him to task over it. Don't forget prune-faced John Kerry's botox adventure which hurt his hopes for the White House more than the swiftboaters.

I won't even mention all the atrocious hair pieces male politicians think will make them look electable. If there is a double standard here, I fail to see it. And who cares what Geraldine Ferraro thinks about anything, anyhow?
---
Rush Limbaugh, having been mentioned in the ABC News article, is stirring the "aging woman" pot on the air today. He figures recent photos show Hillary looking desperate and foolish.

Live better at your neighbor's expense!

You're Entitled!

Thats right! You are entitled to live better than you do now with no financial outlay on your part. Your neighbors will cover everything, whether they like you and the way you live or not. Why? Because its the law!

Now that over half of all US citizens are on the take its possible to vote as much money for yourself as you want. You have the power to vote for taxes that will make your rich neighbors finance your improved life.

Hillary Clinton has a dream.

Iron my shirts!

Cow-eyed Hillary pledges to iron for Bill

The "Iron my shirt" idiots came out of retirement to heckle Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire. You may recall that "Iron my shirts" was a comical anti-feminist slogan back in the day when Hillary was wearing paisley. I can't help but wonder if Clinton didn't hire these lame-boys to spice up her teary campaign. I guess she figured it would be less obvious than her planting supporters to ask fluff questions at her rallies was. Wrong again, comrade Hillary.

Michelle Malkin has a good analysis with background on the perpetrators of the heckle.

Ask: Do you suppose Hillary ever ironed Bill Clinton's shirts? Do you think Slick Willie can still put the cow-eyes and big grin on Hillary's face?

Hillary never looked better

That picture of Hillary on Drudge right now, as well-known woman blogger Ann Althouse called it, certainly got a disproportionate amount of analysis on the internets.

Personally, I don't think Hillary Clinton has ever looked better. The Drudge photo is reproduced at left. The top photo is of greasy-haired activist Hillary Rodham in the mid-1960's.

Click the picture for a better view. Based only on looks, which Hillary would you rather sit next to on a long bus trip?

At least today's old Hillary looks clean.

National Health Perils - HillaryCare Preview

We've decided to let you go.

National Health nurses in the UK are getting the power of life and death over their charges. Thats right, if your free National Health nurse thinks keeping you alive won't pay off, they can decide to snuff you out. I thought this euthanasia business was limited to places inhabited by self-loathing idiots like Holland.

The Democrats and their presidential candidates think your relationship with your medical doctor ought to be the business of the nanny state. Conservatives point out that any form of national health scheme the liberals posit will be nothing more than socialized medicine. Nobody wants socialized medicine, of course. At least not overtly, (with the possible exception of Hillary Clinton's Marxist health care plans.)

Sure, health care will be free. But it is inevitable that the quality and availability of health care will suffer in proportion to the amount of government involvement. Look at Cuba, Canada, Venezuela, and the UK. If you fall ill in any of these places, you will get a bureaucracy instead of real health care. With free medical care for all, we abrogate our responsibility for our own well-being. John Edwards wants mandatory physical checkups. Eventually they will come to your house to ensure that you floss, eat 'right' and don't smoke.

Lousy health care, inadequate facilities, long waiting lists and uninspired doctors aren't all we will get with HillaryCare or any of its ugly sisters. If we go the socialist route in health care, ultimately we will be letting the state decide who lives and dies. The results are horrifying.
---
Mr. Gustan, we don't think we can cure you enough to get you back paying taxes again, so...
---
Seriously, I don't think my health care is properly within the purvey of government at all. Not for any reason. There needn't be a "health care system" at all as far as I'm concerned. Sadly, that train left the station long ago, so if you like more analysis and less rant see: Sicko in Europe at Another Rovian Conspiracy, and Michelle Malkin's treatment of the same gneral topic. Warning: both these links could cause you to form a mental image of Michael Moore.

Castro to US: Vote the Communist Ticket with Clinton & Obama

As George Moneo at Babalu Blog says: That's good enough for me!

el comandante has some advice for the voters in the US. He happens to like two candidates to be part of a winning ticket in 2008. Who are his recommendations? Why Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, of course. These are castro's candidates!

If you think you have already the heard the Clinton/Obama ticket suggested for the Democrat Party ticket in 08, you are correct. Newt Gingrich and Rudy Giuliani are both on the same page with dying Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro. Who said politics makes strange bedfellows?

Who looks at Hillary's cleavage?

Hillary's Lard Sculpture Bust

I was sickened to see the continuing public fascination with the fact that Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi sometimes wear clothing that reveals the upper portions of their breasts. The term cleavage has been loosely applied to the phenomenon.

It was funny at first, but the continuing fixation on these two pairs of breasts is disturbing. It is so pervasive that CBS News Tart Katie Couric is concerned. Even oversexed teenage boys with X-Ray Gogs wouldn't want to look at these wizened old babes.

Now here is a candid picture of Hillary using a part of her anatomy in a manner that potential voters have good reason to be concerned about. How does she do it? How will she apply this talent to the Presidency?

Clinton-Obama ticket?

Will Barack Obama be Hillary's White House Boy?

Headline on the Drudge Report:

QUINDLEN: Clinton-Obama ticket...

Who will be on top? One guess. Here is more Democrat ugliness.

Thats what we said, Hillary

I did not have sexual relations with that woman!

Hillary Clinton: White House Needs a Clean Sweep. Seems like that's what we said the last time your family was living there, Hilly.

Marxist Thought Stinks on Ice

Marxist Glamor Girls

Hillary Clinton is a Marxist who would complete America's long slide into communism with her "I want your profits so we can share the wealth" mumbo jumbo if elected to the US Presidency. Now sheand her pal Nancy Pelosi want to implement one of communism's dearest programs: government control of the airwaves.

Worse yet, they want to justify their erosion of our First Amendment right to free speech by claiming that talk radio is biased. Perhaps these two cows and the rest of their commie herd should consider a government takeover of the New York Times or the LA Times? Or all of the TV Networks? Word has it that the media is all biased. I saw it on the Jawa Report. Time for a "legislative solution" to squelch all this willy-nilly free speech.

Hear a Breitbart Exclusive: "Appearing on John Ziegler's evening show on KFI 640 AM in LA, U.S. Senator James Inhofe says he overheard Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) saying they want a "legislative fix" for talk radio."

I foresee federal cops like those that grabbed Elian Gonzalez breaking into Rush Limbaugh's studio, smashing the EIB golden microphone and frog-marching Rush out of the building. If they don't burn the deviant broadcaster in a Waco type siege. It was enough to get me to subscribe to Rush 24-7 so I can watch it happen live on his DittoCam.
---
The cats that run the government wouldn't lie to us or try to trick us now, would they?
---
Update: Hillary responds to Inhofe's claim, via her press secretary: "This supposed conversation never happened - not in his presence or anywhere else." Somebody must be lying.
Repartee: Senator Inhofe sticks to the story - Inhofe interviewed by Breitbart.tv's Scott Baker late Friday.

French Farce

Want to know what happened in today's French elections? I didn't think so, but you can get tomorrow's news today by reading the Australian papers. I don't know how they do it. From the Monday, June 18th online edition of the Sydney Morning Herald:

History was almost certainly made in France yesterday. If voting trends in last week's first round of parliamentary elections have continued in the second round, the right-wing government of the President, Nicolas Sarkozy, has won by a landslide, and the Socialist Party has suffered a catastrophic defeat.

At least the SMH is only 'almost certain' of the outcome. At the same time, Hillary and the Democrat party are trying to sell us on the same failed socialist ideas that even the frog-eating French can't stomach. As you may recall, they were able to put up with Hitler.

Hillary Clinton's Marxist Plan for America

Out with Individualism!

The Marxists have crawled out from under our beds while we weren't looking and are making a bid to take over the United States. That bid's name is Hillary Clinton. She now openly advocates Marxist thought in her Presidential campaign. I hate communists. Here is one of the reasons:

I always thought that one of the main things that made America a great nation was the sense of rugged individualism held by its people. You can call it the pioneer spirit and claim its time passed with the frontier days, but I don't think so. You can read the works of Ayn Rand for a vision of a more mature individualism. Most cats that call themselves conservatives believe individualism is an inherent part of human nature. Karl Marx said it wasn't.

Marx and his followers dream of the New Marxist Man. And in the "share the wealth" fantasy world of his followers, there is no room at the table for them as won't accept becoming such a "New Man". If they can't 'educate' the folks by controlling public schools, they will try to grow new Marxists. Think of Nicolae Ceauşescu's hideous baby factories. None of these methods have succeeded in creating the selfless, ant-like worker the Marxist idealizes. And it isn't in the cards for Hillary, either.

All Socialist movements, be they of the National Socialist bent or the International Socialist persuasion, have ended up resolving this conundrum by suppressing or eliminating the ones that refuse to accept becoming a Marxist New Man. The extremes come to mind first, the likes of Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot and other butchers are easy to spot. But there are more insidious ways to crib the success of unworkable communal economies. The Gulags become hospitals, killing fields give way to re-education centers. Look for a President Hillary to hospitalize refuseniks for shock or drug therapy. Perhaps she will imprison for re-education those who won't give their wealth to the state.

At least it is out in the open now. Comrade Hillary is a Marxist.

Her campaign message might as well be: "From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs."

Addendum: Hillary and Karl Marx, by Henry Lamb

Hillary's rhetoric and voting record reveal a philosophy that penalizes success by taxing the rich and rewards failure by expanding the work government does for other Americans. Hillary's description of the government she prefers is one that takes "from each according to his ability," and redistributes "to each according to his need." In fact, she told a San Francisco audience: "We're going to take things away from you on behalf of the common good."

If that ain't Marxist thought, I'll eat Hillary's shorts.
---
Practical advice: should Hillary's election seem imminent, invest in ethanol. Americans will be drinking it like the Soviets drank vodka. To numb the pain.
