Clinton's creating a 40-member team

[Life Long Dem]

Hillary Clinton is creating a whip team to make sure convention supporters don't assail Barack Obama during her nomination floor vote, officials say.


The 40-member team will be charged with blocking any demonstration that might take away from Democratic unity during the Denver convention,...

1. When will she finally do something

that demonstrates she supports Obama??

WHEN????

[snake in the grass]

13. Never!

She is just simply evil, even worse than Bush, Hitler, the Borg, and Satan all rolled into one. Of all the politicians who have ever run for office in the history of the U.S. there was and is nobody half as bad, as calculating, as unlikeable, as conniving, as cold, as heartless, as treasonous, as shrill, as vain, as selfish, as whiny, as non-fashion conscious, as two-faced, as self-promoting, as power hungry, as backstabbing, as untrustworthy, as racist, as right-wing, as untruthful, as vile, as murderous, as insane, and as dangerous as Hillary Rodham Clinton.

We all know that she has two plans: either sabotage Obama's chances this year opening the door for her in 2012 or get elected VP and then do to Obama what she did to Vince Foster. It must be true; I heard it on the Randi Rhodes Show.

The Clintons have always been a plight for the Democratic Party; the veritable stain on our otherwise clean vest.

When will it end?

14. oops wrong spot Disregard

[pnorman]

28. "snake in the grass"???

That sounds about right! I was looking for some indication that the above was an elaborate "put on", but I saw none.

31. How fortunate for you...

that you understand irony.

[pecwae]

17. Yeah,

this simply is not good enough. It's a ruse. She's gonna steal the nom!

[mrreowwr_kittty]

2. Awesome!

[tritsofme]

3. Watch this thread be roundly ignored. nt

[Lucinda]

5. Naw...they will layer some evil intent over this one just like they have the others.

[Life Long Dem]

18. Yeah I know. First they think they can blast a post apart and it evaporates.

Then when they find out the OP is not playing their division game they run along in defeat to kick some other Clinton thread.

[global1]

4. Charged With Blocking Any Demonstration That Might Take Away From Democratic Unity......

sounds ominous to me. Blocking? Could we see some drama at the convention - where a floor demonstration ensues and this Whip Team - creates a commotion that the MSM picks up and rams down our throat. This could work both ways for Hillary. Hmmmmmm!!!

I'm sorry - after 8 years of *CO - I'm just suspicious of anything and everything.

[QC]

39. Is this your first campaign?

Years ago, during Clinton's first campaign, I was volunteering at an Al Gore appearance. We had a crowd of fetus people there, complete with enormous pictures of mutilated fetuses. My assignment was to use my sign to block their fetus pics.

It was actually kind of fun.

[jobycom]

6. So now someone will see this as a plot to steal the convention.

"Oh noes, teh Clintons are going to have whips and they will use them to force delegates to vote for Hillary!!11"

[democracy1st]

7. thanks for posting

[Whisp]

8. so now if the convention goes off without a hitch...

it will be to Hillary's credit.

:eyes:

go away, lady, just go away.

[JoFerret]

16. Pipe down. Why are you so against an Obama victory?

Are you one of those who just loves being a on the losing side.


Ah - the pain. The self righteousness...

Please start helping Obama win.We need him to win.

[emilyg]

9. Thanks.

[flamingdem]

10. Good someone needs to keep on lid on them nt

[NYC_SKP]

11. They're going to carry whips!

In fact, they're calling them whips!

It's goona bee kewl! I'm series!!11!1!

[RNdaSilva]

46. Cat o' nine tails? A little S&M to spark interest?

Nah, Hillary will whip them into shape.

[SeattleGirl]

12. Good!

:thumbsup:

[Egnever]

15. This actually bothers me.

I certainly don't want to see Hillary dead enders acting the fool at the convention. The free speech zones of the last election bothered me a lot though and this smells a little like that to me.

[Political Heretic]

19. I heard that, and believe me I've been defending Clinton a lot lately....

...even though I'm sick of primary talk, and sick of clinton VP talk. :)

[sniffa]

20. Will they be armed with tasers?

And only 40? I hope they can take on 2 each.

[Prophet 451]

21. Good for her!

Hopefully, that should shut up some of the anti-Hillary zealots.

[polmaven]

42. Ain't gonna happen, my friend.

It is seemingly much more important to bash Hillary than to win this election.

[Prophet 451]

43. Point

There's a fair few "supporters" of both Obama and Hillary who just really, really hate the other one.

Random thought: I have never understood why the party enforcers are referred to as "whips". Always makes me picture them as the slavemasters on Roman galleys...

[krkaufman]

22. How 'bout she just get Bill to stfu.

(irt praising McCain's climate change record)

[eshfemme]

23. Yay for Hillary! This is why I feel so badly for Hillary because she's doing her best

but it's so hard to rehabilitate her image now and it's not really her fault anymore. Yes, the primaries were really awful and at one point, I felt like I couldn't forgive her but now, it's kinda obvious that it wasn't her but the MSM. It just kinda sucks that she had to take this precaution in the first place.

[JTFrog]

24. Right. The MSM threw her kitchen sink for her!

They probably even faked all the footage of her lying about sniper fire in Bosnia. Those bastards.

The reason she has to take this precaution is because she is the one that opened Pandora's box to begin with.

[eshfemme]

25. True, she did pull a lot of BS but she's finally gotten back to reality. It just sucks that

she can't pull a lot of her supporters back down to earth. So at least she's kinda acknowledged that. I'll never go back to respecting her the way I did before the primaries but I'm willing to accept her as part of the Democratic party and I'm willing to see her go on to do great things, just not as President.

Yeah, she should have avoided making the moves that she did but it does look like she regrets them so I forgive her. Plus, the MSM hasn't stopped their habit of stirring up shit so I'd rather not play into their hands by continuing to resent her for something she's obviously already acknowledged. The only problems now are the PUMAs, Republicans and the MSM.

[JTFrog]

29. I just don't see the regret.

Just as she didn't regret for her war vote.

She's a wicked smart politician. I see her giving just enough support at the last minute, secure in the fact that short term memory is a well documented public affliction. After she went so far as to endorse the republican candidate over a rival in her own party, it is obvious she has switched to 2012 mode.

[barack the house]

26. You have to give her full respect as great team player and supporter of a 08 victory.

[greguganus]

27. I'll bet they'll be wearing jack boots and 'PUMA' on the back of their uniforms. n/t

[tekisui]

32. knr! for the disbelievers.

This will be a great and historic Convention!

[Leftist Agitator]

33. It's a shame that Hillary has to take such extreme measures...

In order to rein in the more rabid, die-hard, faux-Democratic Hillarites.

[Freddie Stubbs]

34. Don't be fooled! This is all a part of her insidious plot to defeat Obama

She either wants to steal the nomination or sabotage his chances in November so that she can run in four years! James Carville DLC aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggggg!

[Alter Ego]

35. Is she giving them actual whips?

Because that would be fucking awesome!

PUMA: "BARACK OBAMA IS AN UNFIT BLACK MA*crack*"

WHIP: "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP?"

[geek tragedy]

36. She's much too good for her PUMA asshole 'supporters.' n/t

[stuntcat]

48. yah

You got that right.

I hate loosing respect for my fellow Democrats, really, but anyone who'd vote against Obama is just a dirty pig earth-raper to me.

[QC]

38. Quick--put some anti-Clinton spin in this thread!

Otherwise it will be ignored!

[LostinVA]

41. Too late

8

[SurfingAtWork]

40. Will they carry real whips?

[RNdaSilva]

47. Of course, cat o' nine tails. Hope you're not serious.

[indimuse]

44. she's gonna need MORE than 40...

just sayin...;)

[greguganus]

45. They will be called "Clinton's Commandos" n/t
