Just use bigger weapons.

Is this the beginning of a turn around in Hillary's policy!?

As for the idea of Boris for President: with no one better, I'd vote for him. Does anyone in America bother to vote in general elections anymore?

What would she do if Iran were to blow up the Moon or use a weather machine to cause droughts, floods and hurricanes?

...after last night's performance. I believe your cheque is taking a while to get through because she is running out of campaign funds.

Get Hillary to the Whitehouse and she will be greasing your palms (and elsewhere) once again

Though they are supposed to pay me royalties on my expressions and I haven't seen a cent.

I'll have to KASS them.

Hillary's got her second wind from flashing her testicles at Iran. I just have to work on her other policies.

...Hillary's campaign!

Hillary's 'testicular fortitude' Posted: Wednesday, April 30, 2008 5:52 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008, Clinton

From NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli
PORTAGE, Ind. -- The Clinton camp has worked hard of late to portray Hillary Clinton as the fighter in the race, someone with the determination to see her plans through no matter what the obstacles. Yesterday in North Carolina, Gov. Mike Easley (D) raised some eyebrows when he said Clinton was so determined she made “Rocky Balboa look like a pansy.”

Well this afternoon, a local labor leader introducing Clinton pushed the envelope further, saying the nation needed a leader “that has testicular fortitude.”

While defending Bill Clinton’s role in the passage of NAFTA, Paul Gipson, president of a steelworkers local, said that union members need to look forward, and support a leader who can work to amend and improve provisions in the trade agreement.

“I truly believe that that’s going to take an individual that has testicular fortitude,” he said. “That’s exactly right. That’s what we gotta have.”

Clinton, standing behind Gipson, smiled sheepishly before breaking into a nervous laugh. Gipson continued by slamming unnamed “Gucci-wearing, latte-drinking, self-centered, egotistical people that have damaged our lifestyle,” before endorsing and introducing Clinton.

The New York senator, after some introductory remarks, then had some fun with Gipson’s remarks. “I must say, Paul, I appreciate that endorsement. It means a lot to me,” she said. “I do think I have fortitude. Women can have it as well as men.”

Many in the crowd roared with approval.

...would be dismissed as ‘uncool’ by an electorate also castrated by trendy relativism (and brain-addled by MTV)."

You can see how desperate liberty-lovers are, many have apparently been suggesting that US born Boris Johnson should become the next US President!

"One suggestion...is Boris for President. This is less fanciful than it seems, since Boris was born in New York, and is therefore eligible for the job (as Arnold Schwarzenegger, for example, is not)."

"As news comes that you are considering a run to be mayor of London, all I can say is: your country needs you. Not Britain. The one you were born in: the United States of America. As an ambitious British politician, you have understandably played down the fact that you were born in the US, which might lead some to think you have dual loyalties. But this accident of birth - and fate leads me to believe it was no "accident" - offers my country an unparalleled opportunity that we would do well to reap."

Speaking in Indiana, Mrs Clinton said she had no regrets about promising to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons

The trouble with that approach, I think, is that Arminadinnerjacket would see that as a "Win - Win" scenario.

...is a win-win situation for you Linz.

Either you manage to split the democratic party, gain a KASS president Hillary or help McCain to win.

Brilliant strategy!

I can't help wondering if you had a hand in today's news from the hillary campaign.

"Even as Democrats fret over the damage that the battle for the party’s presidential nomination has already done to their chances of regaining the White House, Hillary Clinton’s campaign is talking of a “nuclear option”."

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections...

Barack Obama, struggling to contain a surging Hillary Clinton, has hit back against his dogged Democratic rival by branding her a President George W. Bush clone for threatening to "totally obliterate" Iran.

"It's not the language that we need right now, and I think it's language that's reflective of George Bush," he said on NBC television. "We have had a foreign policy of bluster and sabre-rattling and tough talk, and in the meantime we make a series of strategic decisions that actually strengthen Iran."

But Mrs Clinton, who narrowly leads in polls in Indiana and has crept up to within striking distance of Mr Obama in North Carolina, was unrepentant about her vow to respond in kind if Iran launched a nuclear attack on Israel. North Carolina and Indiana go to the polls on Monday.

"Why would I have any regrets? I am asked a question about what I would do if Iran attacked our ally, a country that many of us have a great deal of, you know, connection with and feeling for," Mrs Clinton told voters in a moderated session shown on ABC News.

"I think we have to be very clear about what we would do. I don't think it is time to equivocate about what we would do. I sure want to make it abundantly clear to them that they would face a tremendous cost if they did such a thing."

Speaking in Indiana, Mrs Clinton said she had no regrets about promising to "totally obliterate" Iran if it attacked Israel with nuclear weapons - a scenario that was put to her two weeks ago.

"I am asked a question about what I would do if Iran attacked our ally, a country that many of us have a great deal of, you know, connection with and feeling for."

... I'm Hillary's adviser. That's why she's not backing down. I taught her KASS!

I see Newsweek's latest cover story is about the "post-American world." Well, for reasons mentioned in this press release, America had it coming. Such a desperate shame.

Democracy was its proximate downfall. Giving the vote to morons, and creating an education system specifically intended to breed more morons. Just listen to the vox pops. Complete, clueless airheads, even stupider than Kiwi imbeciles. And they've got the vote! This is somehow synonymous with freedom??!!

..as I observed below in the "that wasn't real" thread, Linz is a secret advisor to Hillary's campaign. It's no surprise that Hillary recently compared Helen Clark to a cockroach and now this about Iran? Do you need any more evidence than that?

Now I really have seen everything.

My position on Clinton in relation to foreign policy has always been this: in spite of anything she might say officially I can't imagine that if I attacked America under her rule I would be alive the next morning. I mean really, can you? She is a cold hearted Ice Queen and you can be assured she will destroy anyone who sticks in her craw...ANYONE.

She has upped the ante. If McCain doesn't produce a bigger set of balls, this will cost him the election.

... I've been rooting for McCain. But he's become embarrassing in his diffidence. Calling for the Obama/Wright ad to be pulled was disgraceful. As Bosch has just observed, the Clinton comment should have come from McCain, but he's too busy trying to please everyone. I'd still vote for him at this point, but he needs to be KASSed and to KASS up.

[Edited to add: Where McCain is showing real KASS is on free trade and pork. Exemplary!]

Jason, I can't recall the last time McCain said anything strong against Iran. I do remember that tune he did about Iran, but we need him talking Now to make the clear difference between him and the others even clearer. And his refusal to go after Obama's Wright connection is as self-defeating as Bush's 'high road' attitude where they pretend that they don't have to get their hands dirty, as if politics is a clean business. But Obama did concede the other day that the Wright issue is a legitimate one in this campaign, which gave McCain a green light to finally talk about it. That he waited until then speaks volumes. And worse, he called fellow Rebublicans out of touch with reality after they used Wright's words against Obama in a commercial. This is going to be loooong 6 months, and I hope McCain holds out, because he is his own worst enemy.

McCain is the author of the famous "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran" Beach Boys parody (see YouTube). There can be no doubt that he is the most vocal candidate on this subject. I am surprised that JM isn't going after Obama on the Wright issue, but he has attacked him aggressively over his even more interesting relationship with leftist Bill Ayers, a former member of a terrorist organization responsible for bungling a series of bombings against U.S. targets in response to the Vietnam war in the 60s, and has since claimed that he has "no regrets" over doing so.

Damn, right, Lindsey, I'm not happy to say. Clinton's remark was exactly the language we need to hear, from McCain, but he's so busy trying to 'be the candidate for everyone' that he's afraid if one of those 'everyone' might be offended by it so he shuts his trap. Clinton is not to be trusted in the least, but I will say that while it's easy to dismiss her words as mere rhetoric, just imagine how her followers experienced her comment, after they picked their jaws up off the ground. It was a bold, out of line, out of character comment by her and it shames us that it's She who had to say what has to be said.
