Then We Came To The End of Clintonism - Are They Gone Yet?
Do you believe this is the end of the Clinton’s painfully long 15 minutes of fame?
And
Are you ready to have them replaced with Obamanation?
I feel this just might be a classic case of “Be careful what you wish for” for the next crop of lemming Democrats…

After 15 years of mutual enmity, conservatives have from time to time been saying nice things about Senator Hillary Clinton. Partly this was because many of us were enjoying the spectacle (and favoring the consequences) of a protracted and bitter fight between two liberal Democrats. Partly it was because we thought she would be a steadier hand as president than Senator Barack Obama would be, with more hawkish instincts and greater political realism. Partly it was because the liberal intelligentsia had turned on the Clintons with such hysteria once they no longer advanced its interests.
It was poetic justice for the Clintons. They had spent years subordinating truth, decency, and the nation itself to their own interests — most spectacularly during the impeachment scandal of 1998, a yearlong drama that was entirely in the Clintons’ power to spare us. In 2008, liberals professed shock that the Clintons might be willing to subordinate the interests of the Democratic party to their own as well. It was poetic justice for them, as well.
In a remarkable political year one of the most remarkable developments has been the revelation that the Clintons never changed nor mastered their party’s screwy primary rules. We will not pretend to regret the resultant temporary exit of the Clintons from presidential politics, which indeed we hope will be permanent. Clintonism as a political style was mostly noxious. (Since we are in a real war, neither campaign will have a self-described “war room” this time.) But it made its bows to the Right on trade, on taxes, on foreign policy, even on social issues.
Obama pats us on the head — he understands our position, he says — and presses forward with an undiluted liberal agenda. The only thing worse than Clintonism may be what replaces it.
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

Well….I don’t think it is all over yet
June 7th, 2008 at 2:27 pmObama must not be allowed to become president of the US.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:28 pmThe Kling-ons will never shut-up and go away. That’s a “willing suspension of disbelief” thing.
Obmmbam on the other hand reminds me more and more or McGovern or Carter with a dash of Kennedy.
I still like the odds of retaining the WH in November. Obambam has still not been able to escape his so-called Church, Wright or his other associations.
Better still, his speech to AIPAC and his retraction a day later, shows a glaring lack of political acumen.
His biggest enemy will prove to be his mouth. And that will be his undoing come November.
McCain by 10.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:41 pmNope, it ain’t over till the fat lady sings and today was not singing. But hey, she’s got “grit”.
The Obamanation is one of the best ‘cold readers’ evah.

Be very afraid. According to Bambi, his typical white granddaddy was one of the best furniture salesmen in all of Hawaii.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:57 pmObama has to be held off at all costs. if he becomes President we’re all F’ed. lets face it, this country will not look or be the same after even one term of this socialist asshat.
Clinton would have made an awful President but i dont think things would have been too much different once she was out. all American citys might still be intact at least
June 7th, 2008 at 3:29 pmSadly, they are not gone yet and like a pesky rash will continue to irritate us for a very long time. PIAPS gave her “concession” speech today but never used the word and never released her delegates to Obammi so watch out for the October Surprise that’s been floating around the Internet and talk shows. It may be the whitey tape or something even more devastating. Reiterating; it ain’t over yet…
