Ok.  My Beloved just brought this 2nd point to my attention.

Do you remember back when the Democrats were pushing campaign finance reform?  I don’t disagree with campaign finance reform, but let’s do it for the right reasons, not because we got caught with our hands in the cookie jar.  Anyway…  John McCain was playing right along with the Democrats.  Many of them were singing his praises.  Saying how good and right he was.

What if he’s the Republican nominee?  All he has to do to sway some of the more conservative Democrats (is that an oxymoron?) is play some of those old clips.  And if they Dem’s disagree… they are flip-flopping.  Just food for thought.

A Republican cowboy from Texas goes to a social function where Hillary Clinton is trying to gather more support for her nomination. Once she discovers the cowboy is a Republican, she starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As she was doing that, she kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around her head. The cowboy says, “Y’all havin’ some problem with them circle flies?”

She stopped talking and said, “Well yes, if that’s what they’re called. But I’ve never heard of circle flies.”

“Well ma’am,” the cowboy replies, “circle flies hang around ranches. They’re called circle flies because they’re almost always found circling around the back end of a horse.”

“Oh,” Hillary replies as she goes back to rambling. But, a moment later she stops and bluntly asks, “Are you calling me a horse’s ass?”

“No, ma’am,” the cowboy replies, “I have too much respect for citizens of New York to call their Senator a horse’s ass.”

“That’s a good thing,” she responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, . . . “Hard to fool them flies though!”

Ok.  Here’s a thought on politics. In the Presidential election between Gore & Bush there was a controversy in Florida.  The whole chad incident with pregnant chads and hanging chads and swinging chads (is that a chad that will go which ever way it wants D or R?).  The Democrats tried to steal the election using this kerfuffle.  The Clinton’s were somewhat vocal during this.

Florida has the number 3 spot for the number of delegates.  The National Democrat has disallowed these delegates for the National Convention because they moved the date of their primary from Super Tuesday (2/5/08) until today (1/29/08).  At this moment (2:37 pm EST) Hillary is ahead by 19%.  Wouldn’t it be karmically interesting if that was the number of votes that she needed at the Convention to win the nomination?

I got the following in an e-mail.  I think it’s a good analogy.

 In a news conference Deanna Favre announced she will be the starting QB for the Packers this coming Sunday.  Deanna asserts that she is qualified to be starting QB because she has spent the past 16 years married to Brett while he played QB for the Packers.  During this period of time she became familiar with the definition of a corner blitz, and is now completely comfortable with other terminology of the Packers offense.  A survey of Packers fans shows that 50% of those polled supported the move. Does this sounds idiotic and unbelievable to you?  Well, Hillary Clinton makes the same claims as to why she is qualified to be President and 50% of democrats polled agreed..   She has never run a City, County, or State.    When told Hillary Clinton has experience because she has 8 years in the White House, former Clinton Advisor, Dick Morris, stated “so has the pastry chef.”
