How do we remove the Hillary wedge that the pukes want to slam in?
We knew this would happen.

Although it is easy to have an angry reaction to Hillary's campaign words against Barack, that was then. Getting angry is exactly what the pukes want us to do.

My hope is that Hillary and Bill's message of unity at the convention will be so compelling that it will render these commercials null and void (or maybe expose the pukes for simply throwing rocks at a hornets nest). At the same time, both the Clintons and other convention speakers need to shift the focus to the horrendous, wasteful, and war mongering record of Shrub and Shooter.

Whereas one might want to say - "told ya so" - to the Clinton commercials being used against Barack in the GE, we now need to adopt an effective counter punch to this puke strategy.

Any ideas?


(CNN) McCain camp revives 3 a.m. ad


The 3 a.m. ad is back.

John McCain's campaign is reviving the most famous political commercial of the Democratic primary cycle, launching a new 30-second spot Tuesday that uses footage from Hillary Clinton's original ad and declares "Hillary's right."

Watch: McCain camp revives 3 a.m. ad

The ad, set to run in key battleground states and specifically in Denver this week, also goes a step further than the New York senator's original ad, explicitly detailing the national security threats America faces.

"Uncertainty. Dangerous aggression. Rogue nations. Radicalism," the ad's narrator states as images of tanks and launching missiles flash on screen.

The ad also includes Clinton's attack on Barack Obama in March 2008 in which she declared "I know Senator McCain has a lifetime of experience that he will bring to the White House. And, Senator Obama has a speech he gave in 2002."

The commercial is the fourth Republican ad in the last week to invoke Hillary Clinton's past criticisms of her party's presumptive presidential nominee, and comes the same night the New York senator is set to make a public urge for unity at the Democratic convention.

Speaking to New York Delegates in Denver Monday, Clinton said she did not support Republicans using her past words against Obama.

"I am Hillary Clinton and I do not approve that message," Clinton said Monday when asked about a McCain ad in which a Clinton backer says she will vote for the Arizona Republican.

Clinton's original 3 a.m. ad ran in Texas in the week ahead of that states critical primary is credited in part for her strong performance there. (She won the Texas primary, but lost its caucus.)

1. I think the way to do it is, LET'S MOVE ON!
Those who have left the Party aren't coming back, if they ever were Dems.

Let's tear Mcpow apart.

2. There is only ONE way Hillary can stop this
She needs to tell tonights audience that she has no intention of running in 2012 regardless of the outcome this November.

Seriously, thats the only thing she could say that would cut the legs out from under the GOP inspired Puma's.

6. right
because if her supporters thinks she was strong armed into saying that, they'll all vote for obama.
she's endorsed him, she's campaigned for him, she's shot back about the ads mccain is running.
she's told her supporters to get on board and help elect obama.
sorry but that's as much as she can do.

3. There is no wedge
It's make-believe.

A few fans let their desires get out of control. Most, by far most, have since regained a grip and are supporting our candidate.

What we hear erstwhile is republican-rat provacateurs. Shabby and shameful, aren't they?

10. I think there is a" little" wedge, that the pukes want to exaggerate
Edited on Tue Aug-26-08 01:28 PM by RiverStone
Good point on the make-believe stuff, in reality - your probably right.

Sadly and very frustratingly, the corporate MSM wants to feed the PUMA bullshit and at least give the appearance of a wedge. That makes for better TV.

We are still seeing the reporters search the streets for former Hillary supporters who now support McBush. I'd wager 90% of said individuals are NOT Dems anyway - but if the pukes can use smoke and mirrors to paint the party as unable to unify, they will.

A great convention would knock this rumor to the ground for good.

8. That's for her to do in part.
She will do so, I'm sure. Obama and Biden can reach out to her constituency, and will do so. I don't see this as a problem.
