hokie4redskins Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Democrats are wising up, in Florida of all places. http://www.tbo.com/news/opinion/editorials/MGBHY2DC3KE.html Dear Hillary: We'd like to welcome you to Tampa for your fundraiser today, and thank you for your long service to our country and your party. We expect that after your re-election this fall as junior senator from New York, you will dedicate yourself to seeking a higher office. But you're a pragmatist, Hillary, so we urge you to be satisfied with the Senate......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 She should really run... Come on Saddlebags, RUN RUN RUN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 You know what people beefs about hillary running. They think that Clinton is going to influence her decisions. I do not think that is true, I think she will make a good President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I hope she does run either. I'm sick of the same people or relatives of the same people running. Time for something fresh and new. What we have now is stale and busted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie4redskins Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 The article makes a good point about a crippled democratic party leaving the repubs complacent. But man, the dems are on the verge of extinction. That may be too hard to resist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't give worst advice than Bush Sr. Who do you think is influencing Bush...maybe he's just under the influence all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot to post the pics of me hanging out with Condi at the Super Bowl. Did you know she's dating Gene Washington, director of operations with the NFL? He's the one who reads all the names on the second day of the draft when Tagiabue doesn't do it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nostril Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 In 2008, we'll have spent 28 years with just two lineages of president. Regan, His vice, his vice's son. Clinton. So, if Clinton's wife wins then it will be 32 years with only two lineages of president. This seems wrong to me. But I don't care, I probably won't vote, and I'll probably hate whoever's in office.

Rumrunner6900 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I used to want to see Condi v. Hillary just to see how confused the Dems would be...now I think 2008 may be the year of....Allen v. Warner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I hope Clinton does influence her. He can't give worst advice than Bush Sr. Who do you think is influencing Bush...maybe he's just under the influence all together. Honestly if Bush Sr was advising his son, we wouldn't have invaded Iraq. Bush Sr. knew what would happen, he released a memo about it when he was Pres. As for Hillary, no, she doesn't need to run, in fact I hope she loses NY altogether. She has done NOTHING for us here, and only shows her ugly mug when she ABSOLUTELY has to, when her numbers start falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Warner's a good choice, but he needs to work on his image a bit if he wants to run for a national office. He comes a across as a little soft. I don't think he is, but he comes across that way when he talks. Gotta work on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midnight Judges Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Something about that editorial is a little fishy. They ask Hillary not to run, which I would join them in, but then they overstep their boundaries by being rude to her, saying "people don't like you" etc. Kinda sounds like it was written by a disgusted Republican and it obviously appeals to Republicans.

But man, the dems are on the verge of extinction. That may be too hard to resist. As a lifelong Republican, I tell you with a straight face that it's not a good thing for the Republican party not to be challenged by a competitive Democrat party. The tension/competition between the two parties is what provides stability, not the success of one and the failure of the other. The other thing to remember is that the Republicans looked as disorganized and lost as anyone in 1992, and turned it around big time. I wouldn't start carving grave stones just yet.

Every 4 years we all just have to decide who is the lesser of 2 evils. Eh, I tried out cynicism for awhile. It doesn't work for me. The beauty of this country is that it doesn't rely on great, inspirational leaders to function properly. Great men (and women) who arrive at the right place and right time are very rare in any society. The US is capable weathering these leadership gaps better than any nation in the history of the world. I vote in every election. Even if the guy I voted for turns out to be a dud, at least he should know that I (and my fellow citizens) won't be voting for him again in a few years if he doesn't do his job.

If you want a "great leader" find a dictatorship to root for. The "gridlock" that everyone laments in this country is actually stability that comes from no one party having all the power. It's a healthy thing. And better yet, in times of crisis we do seem to find the best people to lead us. Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, etc. It's happened too many times to be coincidence.

All the people cheering the supposed self-destruction of the Democratic party are being extremely short-sighted. Only a fool would want one dominant party to run unchallenged, no matter what their stated policy is. As long as we live in a democratic society there will always be conservatives and liberals. And they should both have a voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
