Move along. Never thought watergate would look so good. This administration and their lemmings are the biggest bunch of crooks and political thugs ever. Anyone who can link a story from ABC, NBC, CBS, would like to see it.....May take you awhile...they're too busy sucking BO's cock. Wouldn't want to say anything bad about the black President.

greg775 Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Read the CNN story that Hillary was making nice with the reporters in Iowa, taking the lead from Bill, who was holding court with them enjoying the attention. Don't know if Hillary can do it in a full campaign. Can a person who does not like the media (Hilly, Chelsea too) suck it up and do interviews and love interviews for 2 plus years? Generally it's hard to fake it that long. Bill innately loves the media so it's no problem. This should be a fascinating study of a person's demeanor in the Hillary campaign/8 years of presidency. You just wonder if she's capable of playing the game that long with the media/public. Like I said it should be fascinating. Also her relationship with Bill during the 8 years should be fascinating. Is he just going to hide? He's a former president for gosh sakes and deserves the fame/accolades former presidents get. I think Bill is a MASTER politician/candidate for office. My gut tells me Hillary is not. Edited September 16, 2014 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 25, 2014 -> 07:41 AM) I think Hillary may actually be the 2nd least wealthy candidate to be on a ticket since 2000. Kerry, Bush, McCain, Romney were all loaded with legit corporate/inherited wealth. Greg's forgetting the numerous quotes at the time they left office and were complaining about being broke due to defending the Monica Lewinsky and Whitewater cases, among many. Almost all of their wealth was accrued post 2000, but it's nothing like a Steve Forbes or Ariana Huffington, or someone of that ilk, Ross Perot, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a record though of getting grouchy and saying things that are not very nice, certainly normally things not heard on a campaign trail. Even the glowing coverage of the Iowa appearance pointed out the media was shocked she was acting nice. Obama seemed like a regular guy . If Hillary was Republican she wouldn't stand a chance. How is she going to handle the impasse in Congress as well. Those Repubs will have nothing to do with her, even worse than Obama in trying to get any support I'd think. You have to admit this is going to be fascinating to unfold. Hillary is going where most winning candidates do not go -- having a Bob Dole-ish type demeanor.For so many years, part of an election is electing the person who looks the best and sounds the best on camera. Obama and Bill? PERFECT candidates. They are matinee idols in how they look and what they say. Edited September 16, 2014 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She, like Mr. Dole, is cranky at times, known probably more for a scowl than a smile. I am amazed that the Democratic candidate for president has it so easy nowadays. The Republicans are un-electable. That party is so out of date it is unelectable no matter who the Demos toss out there.

StrangeSox Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 (edited) ahahaha greg, whites are still the majority. In the coming decades, non-Hispanic whites will become the plurality--they'll still be the largest group, but they won't be 50%+ of the population. This is mainly due to increasing numbers of Hispanics, not blacks. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_...e_and_ethnicity Edited September 24, 2014 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There may not be a sign that says it but if you look at a RNC, you see a sea of salt. I was at a posh wedding a couple of years ago. White rich people galore and definitely Republicans. They asked me what I did for a living and most of them practically spit out their drinks because they probably expected me to say I was unemployed or worked as a janitor.

Just about every policy the Republicans have is not beneficial to lower-income people." and mine really that different? { edit, just realized that you didn't post what I pasted here.} Most of the issues that don't revolve around getting something from the government are semantics and framing. Raising minimum wage? Sure, might help some who get it, but many others wold be let go and even more still would have their hours cut, so wouldn't see any real benefit at all. Immigration reform? How does that hurt any person here of minority status? How does keeping out an illegal mexican hurt the poor hispanic/black.white person here? it doesn't. In fact it could help them by having more jobs available for them. War on women? Please, that is a made up piece of crap by the DNC. Not wanting to pay for birth control is not some oppressive patriarchy RNC idea to keep women in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. And if I recall, a majority of the offenders in the news the last year or so have been Democratic office holders. (Filner, Weiner, etc.). I also recall a study done around the last Presidential election (trying to find link, but my google-fu isn't that good) that tried to find out why religious, family oriented hispanics kept voting for Democrats, and the self reported answers trended to 'we get more stuff from the Dems'. As for the whites only club, look at many of the liberal institutions, clubs and even blogs that claim to espouse inclusiveness. They are whiter than my ass in most cases. I don't disagree that it happens. I have seen it a few times, and am happy I haven't seen it more. I've seen it the other way a few times as well.
