If you don't like the weather in Denver currently, wait 15 minutes. Pt.II


While Obama’s Christmas… err, Holiday ad reminded us that “we all have a stake in each other” the man evidently neglected to drive one through the heart of the woman pictured.

Coy is how Hillary is playing this one… and both sides against the middle.

In a recent chat with supporters she reiterated her claim for a unified Party behind Obama but in a bid to salve the wounds of her supporters she allowed that, yeah… you know, I may allow my name to appear on the ballot at the convention and uhhh… I’m not telling you to vote for me but I’m not telling you to not vote for me either because there’s just no way (chuckle) that I’ll win.

And this from her blog regarding exactly what her (and Bill’s?) role will be regarding the campaign and possibly after the campaign: ““While no decisions have been made yet, I will make sure that we keep you up to date and involved with all of the Convention activity,”

Clinton remains hugely popular among Democrats as her 70 to 66 favorability rating over Obama would suggest so this subtle positioning weeks before the convention when McCain has closed the gap on Obama and, equally as significant, the Messianic shine has worn-off that coin, has caused quite a bit of musing around the BwD headquarters today.

She wouldn’t dare…. Would she…? No….

… chaos?

Oh, for the days of knock-down, drag-out, bare knuckle, smoke-filled back room political conventions.

Of course, 1968 in Chicago was the death knell for any kind of spontanaity. Now it's nothing more a week-long commercial full of carefully orchestrated pre-packaged crap.

The last half-exciting thing I saw was 100 or so members of the Texas GOP delegation throwing class and decor out the window while standing up and praying in the middle of a Log Cabin Republican's speech 8 years ago. That at least had some drama and a "Theatre of the Absurd" dynamic to it.

But, I'll watch anyway...

Most of the "stopObama.com" type emails are comming from my favorite dem, the Ass Baboon of Venus.

The venom and hatred while sometimes not altogether misplaced, is unusual for such a stauch Democrat.

Here is a sample of email..from a Democrat:

"Pause a moment, reflect back.
These events are actual events from history.
They really happened!!!
Do you remember?
1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by Muslim male extremist
between the ages of 17 and 40.........
7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver
trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists
between the ages of 17 and 40. ......
13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you
guessed it-- Muslim male extremists between the ages of 17 and 40.
(A little legit stuff about profiling then...)
According to The Book of Revelations:

The Anti-Christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will
deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE
Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him
and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power,
he will destroy everything.

This, from a Hillary Democrat!

Straight outta the John Birch manual. I love it!

Of Muslim descent, huh? Well, I guess we have nothing to worry about by voting for Bible-thumping Obama.

On par, seems I recall some rather venemous things coming from all corners of the BwD Kingdom not more than a couple months ago during the primaries regarding one Mssr. McCain. Did he turn the corner with you all during one of his electrifying speeches??

Mongo, You didn't get the memo? Go back to a July 14 post titled, "Its Time" which can be summarized quite nicely as this
