We really wanted to watch the Democrat primary debate on Thursday but found ourselves delayed for a longer than expected time in a (southern) foreign country.
As we weren’t able to watch it live, we have been relegated to piecing together the debate via YouTube. The opening segment of the debate was about all we really needed to see, though. CNN, which broadcast the debate and which was moderated by Wolf Blitzer, was obviously aware of the Hillary licenses-for-illegals flip-flop and spent the entirety of the first 10 minutes or so encouraging confrontation between Clinton and Obama who was critical of her excruciating waffling.
We really enjoyed Obama’s accusation that Clinton was not doing enough to enforce enrollment in her universal health care program. My god. As any college-bound high school grad will tell you, one of the great joys of moving out of the crib is that Mom and Dad aren’t there to nag you about brushing and flossing, eating your vegetables, getting a good night’s sleep, etc. Well guess what, America? Depending on how things shake out next November, we’re all moving back home, so to speak. Mama Hill’ and/or Papa Back’ will be tending the premises, blowing taps, pulling bunk checks, announcing reveille and generally making us feel we are right back in Seminary. Golly, we can’t wait.
And we have a confession to make… We totally misread Hillary’s me-against-them-boys defense tactic that arose in the wake of the last debate. She ended the initial segment with a high decibel, shrill harangue about how she was fighting for America and was not going to put up with these attacks and something else and uhhh.. well, she was mad as hell and wasn’t going to take it anymore! We thought this tactic might have some traction among feminists and even after the applause she received afterwards we couldn’t help but feel how incredibly unlikeable the woman is.
Look…. You know and we know, we aren’t voting for any of these people so ironically enough, its easier to be objective about the Democrat candidates. As such, then, we have a message for Hillary that if we ever had the chance, we would love to pass along:

If you think its bad now, wait ‘til you have the actual misfortune of being elected President. You better get your act together and demonstrate you have the capacity to lead this nation rather than wasting our time bitching about how you are the lone woman in a man’s world.
Whether we like it or not, Hillary Clinton has a very good shot at being the next President and we want her to act like one. Above anything else, we are Americans and we are fiercely protective of our own and of our institutions. If she is elected President then that’s it… she’s this nation’s democratically elected President - she’s our girl.

Does this mean that we are going to go happily along with everything she decrees? Not at all. We will fight tooth and nail for our own governing principals of which we believe our President is running afoul. At the same time, though, we’re not going to threaten to leave the country, seek counseling because of CDS, call Sean Hannity and whine to him about how horrible it all is or participate in any other form of adolescent petulance we all saw and heard after the ’04 Presidential elections.
We love this country too much to start acting like a bunch of teenagers just because we don’t like who got elected and we’ll crack upside the head anyone we know who should know better themselves.

Good Lord, don't call Sean Hannity under any circumstances. The guy is a total dork.
As for Hillary, the MSM still has the lion's share of the public viewing and they would run cover for her like nobody's business. She would screw things up royally and the average Joe might never know it.
Perhaps... but I still believe a Hillary Presidency would be more manageable than an Obama one. One reason is that Obama's race would trump Hillary's gender as media scrutiny teflon coating.
And politics aside, Obama seems like a genuinely likeable person. Hillary.....?
... and yes, Hannity is a bit of a clown.
Dudes,
Glad to see other conservatives who share my view on Sean Hannity. I have always felt his ad hominem attacks and demagoguery give conservatism a bad name.
hannity is redundant, he repeats himself, he says the same thing over and over again.
above anon was the Dawg, forgot to sign in. (and forgot to be funny)
'Dawg, I found your comment quite humorous. It was also amusing but mostly I found it funny and it made me chuckle.
