143. Clinton's entire BOOKTOUR was spent vigorously DEFENDING Bush on his terrorism and Iraq decisions
Edited on Tue Sep-01-09 05:22 PM by blm
and you have no concept of what 1992 was about do you?

Kerry is the one responsible for Bush1 needing to lose that election, as he expected certain impeachment after the release of the BCCI report in Dec1992.

So, Clinton had Kerry fighting Bush for entire four years before 1992 election, while Kerry had Clinton supporting and defending Bush2 for the entire four years before 2004 election.

And Kerry would be president today if McAuliffe's DNC had bothered to strengthen party infrastructure and secure election process for the four years he was charged with that duty.


Why are you pretending that the best known Dems were not supporting Bush's decisions on terrorism and Iraq war? They didn't HAVE to endorse Bush formally as they already spent his first term publicly supporting him on the biggest issues of the 2004 election. Both Clintons, Lieberman, Biden, Schumer, Bayh - the go to Dems for corporate media - all on TV siding with Bush's strategy on terrorism and Iraq war and at the very same time that Kerry was attacking those decisions.

You never noticed? Did any nominee in history have the last Dem president on air for three weeks defending the opponent as much as Clinton did? What makes YOU believe that there was no difference between 1992 and 2004, and 2004 and 2008, anyway? You had a Bush in 1992 who NEEDED to lose or face certain impeachment. In 2004 you had a Bush who needed to keep open government Kerry out of the WH - and so did Clinton (who protected Poppy on BCCI matters in the 90s. By 2006 you had a Bush WH who was failing miserably in ways the corpmedia could no longer cover up, and the 2008 election of a Dem was already a certainty.

What part of BushInc at its STRONGEST in 2004 and BushInc at its WEAKEST in 2008 rings untrue to you?

And further - I am not the only one who noticed the backstabbing Clintons and their minions were doing in 2003-4.



This talk by historian Douglas Brinkley occurred in April 2004:

Whom does the biographer think his subject will pick as a running mate? Not Hillary Rodham Clinton. "There's really two different Democratic parties right now: there's the Clintons and Terry McAuliffe and the DNC and then there's the Kerry upstarts. John Kerry had one of the great advantages in life by being considered to get the nomination in December. He watched every Democrat in the country flee from him, and the Clintons really stick the knife in his back a bunch of times, so he's able to really see who was loyal to him and who wasn't. That's a very useful thing in life."

Did Carville Tip Bush Off to Kerry Strategy (Woodward)

By M.J. Rosenberg |

I just came across a troubling incident that Bob Woodward reports in his new book. Very troubling.

section break

On page 344, Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.

Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.

So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.

So what happened?

James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.

"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio -- perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'

"Matalin went to Cheney to report...You better tell the President Cheney told her."

Matalin does, advising Bush that "somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes." An SOS goes out to Blackwell.
>>>>>


Clinton closed the books on Poppy Bush's illegal operations throughout the 90s, protecting secrecy and privilege of the powerful on many outstanding matters in IranContra, Iraqgate and BCCI - he needed Kerry to stay out of the WH as much as Bush did.

Keep adding - Did McAuliffe not bother securing the election process for 2002 and 2004 because he was focused on 2008 along with the rest of the Clinton team?

Hillary in 2006 - the backstabbing never let up.
