Who else thinks "Hill-a-Copter" will be this season's "Joementum"?

[jgraz]

Congratulations, Hillary -- you beat out McCain's "Never Surrender" express for the dumbest campaign idea ever.

[maddiejoan]

1. To be fair

It's only temporary until she gets to use Air Force I

[babylonsister]

3. Ha!

:rofl: Good answer, for you. Made ME laugh! :thumbsup:

[jgraz]

4. I'm sure Edwards will let her on from time to time

:evilgrin:

[ClarkUSA]

5. Gee, and I thought that the Clinton II inevitability meme was "a media construct"

That being said, I've got to wonder if Mark Penn did a focus group to choose the corniest name possible? :rofl:

[Joe the Revelator]

2. Is so amazingly hokey, even for Hillary

I don't think it's going to play well.

[razorman]

7. The Repubs will have a field day with it.

I have already heard references to "Broomstick One", and other such jokes. Basically, this ploy reeks of desperation, which feeds their view of HRC.

[Zueda]

6. Tis hard to offer a un-biased opinion...

but I truly believe I would wince if my candidate did this.

[ElizabethDC]

8. I think it's funny

Corny, of course, but so are most campaign things.

Let us not forget that Obama held an event for young people at a club and called it "Generation BO." Now, there's a campaign idea gone wrong.

Regardless, all campaigns come up with silly stuff. I think it's cute.

[annie1]

9. yeah, it's hokey, but hopefully it will end there. her campaign people...

seem like a mess. it coulda been cool that she couldn't use her bus and instead took a copter, but she should simmer.

[Hardrada]

10. Valkyies and Furies don't need airplanes

or broomsticks.

[journalist3072]

11. Congratulations on the useless post of the day

Some people here on DU will make a stupid a&s post about anything..

[durrrty libby]

25. You are soo right.I can barely be bothered with most of the fools

[jgraz]

29. Cool. Then maybe you'll shut the hell up and let the adults talk

[journalist3072]

36. I think you're the one that needs to shut the hell up you rat b%stard

How old are you? One?

[jgraz]

40. Sigh. Another HIllary supporter heard from.

Seriously, what kind of "journalist" are you? Have they taught you how to write yet?

[durrrty libby]

38. There are so called adults serving time for abusing, stealing

and killing.I'll give you the same respect I give them

[jgraz]

30. I dunno, I think pointing out obvious signs of a desperate, failing campaign is very useful

At least, for the 98% of DUers who want anyone but Hillary.

[Quixote1818]

12. I cringed when I first heard that term. It's right up there with "Shock and Awe"

and as you pointed out "Jomentum". Who the hell is on their campaign staff that is making all these stupid mistakes?

[annie1]

14. Agree about 'who is making these mistakes', it's really frustrating.

i keep thinking how awful it's going to be in the general. she needs to get rid of these clowns.

[RufusTFirefly]

18. Indeed. Once she gets rid of the lackeys, she'll be fine...

... assuming we overlook that she voted to give a mentally unstable tyrant a blank check and is unrepentant about it, that she's chastised the fledgling Iraqi government for not capitulating to multinational oil blackmail, that she co-sponsored a bill to ban flag burning, that she thinks torture is AOK in the fallacious "ticking time bomb" scenario, and that she's branded another country's sovereign military a "terrorist group."

Yup. Things are looking good. Up, up, and away with the Hill-a-Copter!

[K Gardner]

20. I just fell out of my chair ::dies:: so TOTALLY wasn't

expecting that..:applause: :rofl: :rofl:

[annie1]

22. lol. :D. ouch. :D

It's getting painful to try back her. :D

[Jennifer C]

31. LOL

:rofl:

[cali]

34. heh. and the OP's candidate voted to do the same thing but went

a step or two further. Repentance is all very well and good for a normal vote but on this one it won't wash the blood off the hands of anyone who voted for that war. She's repudiated the loophole for torture and did so in September of this year. And until JE scrubbed if from his site he went further than just wanting the IRG named a terrorist entity.

Her support for the IWR and her late decision about torture are two of the reasons I can't support her, but JE doesn't get a pass.

Having said that, I think the helicoptor tour is dumb.

[RufusTFirefly]

13. Hill and Joe. Peas in a pod

Both are neo-cons
Both are odd
Neither one
Would get the nod
Even though
They mentioned God

[tekisui]

15. She's going to copter to 99 counties in 5 days.

The Hill-o-copter buzzing to 20 counties a day doesn't look like confidence. It looks likes someone with a lot of money worried about losing.


Will it have the name painted on the side?

[Caseman]

16. She should also throw money out of the copter...

...so it would be a Hill-a-bration :D

[annie1]

17. lol

[K Gardner]

19. Maybe she should throw Bill out of the copter..

LIBeration...

[Strelnikov_]

21. Just hope they are careful out there n/t

[emilyg]

23. And why should we think this is important?

[Beacool]

26. Because they are a bunch of jerks

who are almost as bad as the Freepers!! The woman can't even talk (she's shrill), laugh (cackle), wear a summer top (cleavage) or even eat in peace (clogging her arteries), and don't get me started on the a-holes who call her a neo-con!!! Do you realize how offensive that is????

Geez, it makes me soooo proud to belong to the same party!!! There are millions of Clinton supporters out there, even if some of you don't believe it. If she manages not to win the nomination, give me one good reason why we should vote for the candidate of your choice given the nasty remarks emitted by too many of you? At this point I've started to think that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to not even bother voting next Nov. and f*ck the whole party!

[Froward69]

27. Bye, later, see ya

if Hillary gets the nomination. this party will have PROVEN just how willing it is to cut off its nose to spite its face. Loose the GE.

in America... UNNAMED DEM defeats Unnamed Repug 65% to 35%. same poll Hillary LOOSES to guilinni 48% to 52%.

Dumb Move nominating Hillary.

[RufusTFirefly]

24. "Hymn to the Hill-a-Copter" by Big Fleetwood Mac

I told Mark Penn to take it down
Watched propellers as they turned around
Then I saw my reflection in the poll-driven news
Till the landslide brought me down

[Lucinda]

28. It's not any lamer than Barackstars or Hillblazers or any other cutsey

phrase the campaigns are using this year.

[calteacherguy]

32. Ah, give her a break. It's not like she'll ever be in Marine One again.

Let her dream.

[Beacool]

33. Dream?????

She already rode that helicopter plenty of times, same with Air Force One. Your guy is the one who is dreaming......... LOL!!!

[calteacherguy]

42. What I mean't is dreming that she'll ever be in again. nt

[cali]

35. lol.

could be, but considering you're supporting the guy that went to work for a hedge fund to learn about poverty, it's funny as hell to see you mocking this.

[jgraz]

41. As long as he didn't call it "Johnny Hedge" I'm cool

I'll take the gamble that Edwards is serious in what he says. At least he's on the right side of the issues in his current statements.

[Perry Logan]

37. Hey--people LOVE dumb ideas.

[jgraz]

39. You mean like President Hillary?

:evilgrin:
