I doubt Hillary wants to have to compete against that or to have the Republicans lock up the White House for potentially 12 years. In a way, it could be a lose-lose situation for Hillary either way unless the next president really screws up.
As I said, Palin as former VP vs Clinton in 2012 would be exactly the situation you mention and I allude to. Clinton would be just fine with that battle, in fact with a woman on the ticket Clinton would possibly get some help from strongly right wing conservatives not voting or voting for independents. Even with 4 years of VP experience Palin's political record is not going to outshine Clinton's, it would end up being a heck of a battle that Clinton would love to see come about.

But Palin would pick a conservative and black VP so all the Obama supporters with sore pussies could still feel like were accomplishing something and get even for the terrible injustice they suffered.

Barrack is feeling the pressure. He is not planning to temporarily continue the Bush tax cuts. This.

What a dumb son of a bitch. IRB and Gobble, your candidate will not stop the Bush tax cuts immediately! He will continue the cuts until at least their expiration because he ADMITS high taxes hurt our economy. The politics of class warfare will not last too many more years. The sooner people realize that the government cannot take care of you the better. People know how to take care of themselves, much more so than any politician in DC.

This is just another example of the liberals realizing they are losing. Big time. LOL

How delicious.

Not so fast sunshine... Clinton's political record to date sucks... And don't give me any of that she was first lady bullshit either. To date she has not authored any significant legislation. She is most know for her flawlessly executed duties of containing Bill's bimbo eruption and her nationalized health care plan that failed miserably.

She does have 4 years to do something meaningful, but ultimately, it will only make her more popular with liberals (not Reagan Democrats) and she will get slaughtered like Bevo at the red river shootout!

Also, do not forget her negatives are at 51%.

Good luck with that pipe-dream spanky.

Big Time?
Did you really just say that? ok. Moving on.

He said he wont mess with them until they expire, but wouldn't renew them. This is consistent with everything he has said since day one.
Im not sure why he would. It would be an unnecessary fight. The Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest 10% expire in 2010. The timing is pretty much perfect.

Why kill something that is dying?

Seriously... You keep calling liberals desperate, and how nervous we are, but here you are with a truckload of forced, faked enthusiasm and self congratulatory mockery. It really, more than anything else, belies your own insecurities.

Deal with real issues, and information that speaks to reality and YOU wont look so desperate to try to invent a narrative.

And another thing. I know Rush and Sean are really interesting, and you can't wait regurgitate whatever talking point they have fed to you like a little baby bird, but they do it better than you, and you really do a disservice to such masters of propaganda with your weak sauce imitation.

Hillary has no chance in hell of ever winning president. she couldnt even beat a neophyte like Obama for the nomination.How is she going do better 4 or 8 years from now when she will be shriller, meaner and more irrelevant?

Really. Liberals and kooks live by the polls and they went from a 5-12 point lead, depending on the poll, to now trailing anywhere from 4 to 10 points.

As for economics, liberals are terrible with their plans. No socialist/communist society could compare to our Republic, period. The Soviets collapsed and they brutally murdered, tortured, or otherwise enslaved millions of people who were "enemies of the state".

Then comes healthcare. Bitch all you want about our system, the fact is it is the very best system in the world. In all other places around the world you wait for your your life saving treatments. Many times, the patient dies waiting. There are numerous examples of people from all around the world coming to the US to get treated because they couldn't get the quality of care they required in the time they needed it. This is not even debatable.

Nationalized healthcare sucks. Canada sucks, England sucks when it comes to providing health care. When the shit hits the fan and you find out you need an operation but cannot wait, you hop your ass on a Boeing 777 luxury liner and get your ass here pronto. Usually, within a day, you are getting cut. And don't forget BIG PHARMACEUTICAL! We develop the life saving drugs the world counterfeits. Our government can't make these drugs, but Abbot can As far as I am concerned, our BIG PHARAM companies shouldn't pay a god damn dime in taxes. The money they have to spend just on their lawyers right there causes mark ups.

Quit trying to say Conservatives don't know how the economy works, were the rich and we create the jobs. Its just the way it is. But here is the dirty little secret that libs fight like hell to keep quiet:

Conservatives like me want you rich. The more well off citizens there are, the more life rules. Rich people spend money on developing things to make life better. Whether it be through philanthropy or R&D, it is the rich.

Meanwhile, the liberals continue to enslave blacks and promising them Utopia if they "just vote democrat". Look at our nations cities runned by liberals. Detroit, LA, New Orleans, and DC, all liberal bastions that are failing miserably.

Yeah, America rocks Instead of bringing everyone down to your level, why don't you try bringing others up. Wealth distribution (IE Taxes) never works. We have been trying that crap since the 60s with the great society. Guess what, the shit doesn't work. The argument is that if we just give more it will get better.

News Flash: It never will. Get off your lazy asses and help yourself because the government won't, especially with a lib. I really think if some of you vitriolic libs spent more time working and less time bitching, you might make it someday.

Heh, that is a pipe dream just like Utopia.

LOL you think you're joking? Still foisting that "REPUBLICANS ONLY USE TOKEN MINORITIES" bullshit?

Go read Clarence Thomas' new book. Hell go read any of Thomas Sowell's groundbreaking work. Thomas Sowell, in addition to being one of the most important American Philosophers of the last 25 years, is a Chicago-School economist who studied under the Nobel Laureate George Stigler in the University of Chicago. Or hell, go read up Colin Powell's life. Or maybe just pay attention to Condi Rice's upbringing and triumph.

Condi Rice watched on of her best childhood friends, Denice McClair, murdered while she attended sunday school in the infamous 16th street Baptist Church bombing that was among the first salvos of the Civil Rights movement. Did Rice use that as some kind of career gimmick? No, she worked her ass off GRADUATED COLLEGE AT NINETEEN (we're talking Doogie Howser smarts here), and became the youngest (and first female) provost of Stanford University. While Obama was being jetsetted around Hawaii and Indonesia living off the affluence of his Oil-Industry stepfather. And while Jeremiah Wright attended the same opulent Germantown, Philadelphia schools and neighborhoods that Bill Crosby wrote so wistfully of, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, and Clarence Thomas were living through the REALITY of the civil rights struggle.

And what do you get for "black leaders" on the liberal side exactly? Jesse Jackson's career-long opportunism? Al Sharpton's hilarious version of history? Jeremiah "AIDS-was-a-CIA-experiment" Wright? Louis Farrakhan?

Have you even considered which side produces REAL leaders with a life full of merit and which side REALLY produces the empty, TOKEN suits?
