How freaking lame. Not only does he lack the cajones to back his party’s nominee, but when at long-last he summons the “courage” to do so, he does it through a spokesman. Not himself, someone else. And not even a direct quote from the spokesman, just a pair of paraphrased statements.
OTTAWA (AFP) — US presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton’s campaign, while rapping rival Barack Obama for telling US voters he is anti-NAFTA and saying otherwise to Canada, tried to reassure Canada too, local media said Thursday.
A top aide of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper meanwhile was identified as the likely source of an alleged leak that provoked a diplomatic fiasco involving both US Democratic presidential contenders.
Last month, Harper’s chief of staff, Ian Brodie, purportedly made impromptu remarks to journalists about Clinton’s US presidential bid, said Canadian reports.
If today’s report is true, that it was the *Clinton* campaign that initiated NAFTA conversations with Canada, then this week’s accusations from the HRC camp that it was Obama that did it become foul-smelling indeed.
I hope that progressives that support HRC for understandable feminist reasons will begin to see the right-wing limb she is climbing out on and her Liebermanness/Huckabeeness. Her scorched earth policy is just beginning to unfold.
Yea but doesn’t it prove just how “tough” she is? If she’ll do anything, sell out anything to win then we can trust her to smoke the first jihadi that raises it’s head when she takes over.
Gov. Mark Sanford has FINALLY endorsed Republican presidential nominee John McCain. A full two days after McCain locked up the party’s nomination. http://www.palmettoscoop.com/2.....es-mccain/
Hey Mark you Dummy! Fred J Sanford the real SANFORD is voting for Obama you and McCain should roll your faces in Cookie Dough and make some Gorilla Cookies.
Aunt Esther Ya! you GOP Heathens!
Ms Power told The Scotsman Mrs Clinton was stopping at nothing to try to seize the lead from Mr Obama.
“We f***** up in Ohio,” she admitted. “In Ohio, they are obsessed and Hillary is going to town on it, because she knows Ohio’s the only place they can win.
“She is a monster, too – that is off the record – she is stooping to anything,” Ms Power said, hastily trying to withdraw her remark.
“Interestingly, the people in her innermost circle seem to not mind her; I think they really love her.”
Ms Power was head-hunted by Barack Obama to become his foreign-policy adviser in 2005 and combines this role with her job as a Time magazine columnist and professor of practice of global leadership and public policy at Harvard.
She is setting herself up for 2012. She cares about nothing but her own ambition. All of it has been rationalized I’m sure. She deserves it and no one else does. She wants to cripple Obama while she still can.
And so I descend once more into the mysterious depths of “3 Women,” a film that was imagined in a dream. Robert Altman’s 1977 masterpiece tells the story of three women whose identities blur, shift and merge until finally, in an enigmatic last scene, they have formed a family, or perhaps have become one person.
AZ Matt, I was curious as to whether you are in Trent Franks district, and if you are, did you get a call from him last night? He did a conference call. I wanted to hear what he had to say, and more importantly, I wanted to ask about warrantless wiretaps. Of course, his theory is that the only wiretaps that were warrantless were to persons overseas, to “foreign terrorists.”
Obama is David and Hill, Goliath. How can a skinny black guy have the nerve to go against the Machine. And win.
This is new stuff for politics. This is a ground up campaign… 55 million last month from folks like me that gave $25. We own it!
she’s praising McCain over Obama because she’s scared shitless of Obama.
Never mind that, should she ever be in the general against McCain, all these statements will bite her in the ass so hard that there may not be any left.
The Clinton campaign seems incapable of thinking more than 5 minutes ahead.
God, but it’s refreshing to talk with people who know what end is up. I actually had to explain to a doctor I work with, speaking slowly in words of one syllable, why a flat tax is regressive. It took 3 examples, but I think I finally got the idea across… [banging head against wall]
The Canadian Government claims that both Obama and Hilary told them not to worry about their pledge on a TV debate to renegotiate NAFTA and add some labor and environmental provisions.
The Obama and Hilary campaign morons seem unaware that Canada now has a conservative government that would like to see McCain elected.
Expecting Canada not to talk was an amateur move.
Uh-oh, I think I’m pegged as an agent provocateur, Oceanic cable asked me about two specific days of a possible viral attack emanating from my ‘puter… Dang, They’re on to me…! ;-)
We believe Senator Obama has class, is inspirational, and cares about himself being liked. We think this man has the potential to uplift us from the last almost eight years of intellectual and compassion drought. Obama has an aurora of warmth about him. We think Obama cares about the rule of law, justice and fairness. We are sure he cares. About us. About everyone.
Pretty soon American drivers won’t be able to afford to work. Nice goin’ Neocons. That is pissing off American driver/workers. People don’t like losing their homes and their jobs. America is experiencing a rude awakening and its gonna get worse.
Cause if they were flat out lying then why haven’t Hilary and Obama said so! Honestly I want them both to denounce this story cause if its true a lot of Dems might stay home.
After all if our candidates are willing to lie about NAFTA then they might lie about ending the war and giving us healthcare.
I have spent two days this week trying to explain to lawyers why our AR Dem senator Mark Pryors vote on MCA against Habeas Corpus and pro torture is totally forked up.
The supposed “leaks” coming from up north are from conservatives in the Canadian government. Since I’m sure they’re on the phone with Rove every day, I don’t believe anything they say, whether it’s about Clinton or Obama.
I read recently (at The General’s) that St. McCain has human rights issues. Is any of this exaggerated? If it’s true this is a club we can beat him with.
Jane!
I got the Zed!
Oh, now maybe it’s ok to talk about the “endless” primary huh?
I got nothin’.
now, can you resist the straight line?
hahahahahahahah,i was thinking Fred…same age yaknow
A true diehard fan…! *g*
the zed is dead
Somebody has something.
i got plenty of nuttin
Heh, you wish…! 8-P
“I’m comin’ Elizabeth” *g*

“How’s you like one of these ‘cross yo lip:?
“Ask yo momma what it is”?
And nuttin’s plenty for me…
KO is really bearing down on the Clinton-talked-to-Canada-about-NAFTA story.
‘Lizza-beth, I’m a’coming…!’
In this house we are becoming increasingly distressed with the Clinton campaign.
Keith: “I can’t follow the Clinton campaign anymore”
Yeah I tried to find one with that but the photo of him looking up to heaven was the best.
*sigh* this whole thing is just shitty (sorry for the language) but between comparing folks to Ken Star, McStain huggin, etc.
Is Kiddo now a style?
;)
deservedly so.
I agree *g*
If today’s report is true, that it was the *Clinton* campaign that initiated NAFTA conversations with Canada, then this week’s accusations from the HRC camp that it was Obama that did it become foul-smelling indeed.
The HRC “brain”-trust seems brain-dead.
Don’t apologize to me, fuck this shit!
I hope that progressives that support HRC for understandable feminist reasons will begin to see the right-wing limb she is climbing out on and her Liebermanness/Huckabeeness. Her scorched earth policy is just beginning to unfold.
Yep — and with good reason. He manages to get his point across without flinging poo. I’ve been studying for a while now, and apparently it shows!
*g* Old habit to apologize for cursing
Don’t go wobbly on us…! *g*
When I first read Marion’s comment I looked up at the top expecting to see “kiddo” there.
ironically that is what repukes give us anyway”g”
Thought the same thing.
LOL Jane!
KO is certainly smokin’ tonight…
It’s heartening to see, right there on my own teevee, someone - anyone - who seems to be at least close to being as pissed off as I am.
I seem to have learned to tolerate it… 320 days… AND COUNTING!
Fred had a short fuse too just like McCain.
In this house we will support the nominee of the Democratic Party with its Supreme Court ramifications.
But the HRC camp is making us increasingly distressed about the long term effects on the progressive movement.
(With H/T to Kiddo for the style)
And lettin’it rip…! 8-)
all of us hanging by fingernails
Yea but doesn’t it prove just how “tough” she is? If she’ll do anything, sell out anything to win then we can trust her to smoke the first jihadi that raises it’s head when she takes over.
He is on top of all the stories. I had to turn Tweety off. He as spitting with glee.

Hey Mark you Dummy! Fred J Sanford the real SANFORD is voting for Obama you and McCain should roll your faces in Cookie Dough and make some Gorilla Cookies.
Aunt Esther Ya! you GOP Heathens!
Fred had redeeming qualities….McVain…ehh not so much
In this house we will do the same. There is one candidate we prefer over the other, but we will vote for the Democrat. Whoever that may be.
LMAO! That’s exactly how McCain will react to anyone looking at him wrong.
I think we should be his Esther. LOL
Why would she endorse McCain? You tell me…does she hate Obama so much that it will be anybody but Obama.
hahahahahahahahahaha
thank you,for very fond memories
So are Obama and Hilary both lying to us about NAFTA then?
Fred had a better left.
He does. Watching him during my childhood made for many laughs.
Apparently
And a good right cross with a ring on it. Ouch! LOL
How do you figure that?
Things are warming up:

In this household, we will…
wait a minute, it’s just me. Oh well, there is the fact that I do tend to talk to myself - so….
In this household, *we* think…..

First she channels kiddo, and now Norske!
She may be trying to prove her claim that she will be “ready on Day One” to be commander-in-chief.
Unfortunately, however, as her commander-in-chief role model, she appears to have chosen Chimpy McFlightsuit.
great show!
Sounds like Holy Joe LIEberman. Two peas in a pod.
I still think that her meeting with Ned and “loaning” him some of her campaign advisors was designed to sandbag him. And Bill sealed the deal.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956).
Kiddo has taken over Marion’s body and mind.
She is setting herself up for 2012. She cares about nothing but her own ambition. All of it has been rationalized I’m sure. She deserves it and no one else does. She wants to cripple Obama while she still can.
hahahahahahahahahaha
u killin me
Ever see Altman’s Three Women?
I’m a multi-channeler!
I got nothin’ to say to this. Nothing’
It is Bill and Hill’s party and no one else gets to play with it.
Use guys are the greatest!
Has Hillary decided that she does not need the African-American vote? Sounds like it.
No, but I like Altman a whole lot.
broken record…in more ways than one…*g*
Three Women Ebert
They will ruin it before letting anyone else have it.
Not. Good.

and may i say that Roland foods make Hoisin Sauce very,very good $1..50
I said this in the last thread. Thanks for doing it again
Where you been, jet laggin?
right next to the dog tags, eh?

This is new stuff for politics. This is a ground up campaign… 55 million last month from folks like me that gave $25. We own it!
Mississippi will answer that question resoundingly.
Roger that! And the little buddah.

Seeing everyone else’s rage is calming me down. :)
it tastes good on EVERYTHING
God, but it’s refreshing to talk with people who know what end is up. I actually had to explain to a doctor I work with, speaking slowly in words of one syllable, why a flat tax is regressive. It took 3 examples, but I think I finally got the idea across… [banging head against wall]
Did you catch my flower’s caper?
yep, and tryin’ to write a book report…right Jane?…*g*

I don’t get any of it…maybe she thinks that whatever Ohio wants the country gets.
I am in his district but got no call from him. He doesn’t really come around the Hopi Rez.
Wow! they are giving to Obama like crazy over on Kos because of Keith’s show.
Why do you believe Canada’s conservative operatives? I don’t.
Canada would like nothing better than to see 100 years of war McCain elected because Canada’s oil sands only make money if oil prices are high.
Hill always underestimates the blogsphere
Seems to me someone up there is not telling the whole truth.
We believe Senator Obama has class, is inspirational, and cares about himself being liked. We think this man has the potential to uplift us from the last almost eight years of intellectual and compassion drought. Obama has an aurora of warmth about him. We think Obama cares about the rule of law, justice and fairness. We are sure he cares. About us. About everyone.
Huh?
Hell, she underestimates the intelligence of average Democratic party voters, at least over the long term.
I reading a major reaming of Hil over there, is that what you mean?
Has the Clinton campaign begun to lower expectations about Mississippi yet? What excuse will “the first Black First Lady” have if she loses there?
We think Obama speaks to us.
Pretty soon American drivers won’t be able to afford to work. Nice goin’ Neocons. That is pissing off American driver/workers. People don’t like losing their homes and their jobs. America is experiencing a rude awakening and its gonna get worse.

I think we need a Haley Barbour alert. Hope Dr. Dean has the polls covered.
LOL
When they figure out that it was the plan all the time…they will be really pissed….
Lahoma and I resent 3:00 AM-ism.
Haven’t you heard, it’s another state that doesn’t rally matter. Like Indiana and North Carolina. :)
And you thought they really wanted to end the war and give us health care? Surely you jest.

When is America gonna realize that their troubles right now are caused by Bushco, and McBushco means more of the same. When???
that’s really a sad commentary. Are they graduates of Regent Law School?
Hey you guys. I may be wrong lots of times. But I do it with style. ;0)
I also do not believe any of this hoohah. Circles within circles - American politics.
That hasn’t been forgotten.
