Let's All Play "What if Clinton had refused to meet Mrs. Sheehan"?
that little hypothetical mind game is always fun to play, and of course the answer is always the same, 'hung by the neck until dead'.

1. Vast outrage
that he was refusing to meet with her only because she was not hot enough to meet his standards.

Outrage that the Clenis had other things to do.

Hung by the neck until dead.

Hey, you're right.

2. Even better. What if he HAD met with her?
"Oh, well, he probably just wanted to have sex with her."

3. 5$ on Rush saying Clinton would only meet with her if she got a boob job.
$10 on Hannity mentioning that he heard that in a "press report".
$20 on O'Reilly listing it in his Talking Points.
$50 on Rush reporting that he heard Clinton was spending funds allocated for body armor on boob jobs.
$100 on me walking away from that fiasco with a cool $85.

4. Don't forget the "Gold Star Mothers" snub myth
that already made its rounds . . .

Yet another in a long line of smears against the Clinton name . . . that time, Hillary . . .

10. Here ya' go . . . The Hillary Hoax!
Subject: GOLD STAR MOTHERS?
Guess who this Senator was!

Gold Star Mothers is an organization made up of women who sons were killed in military combat during service in the United States armed forces. Recently a delegation of New York Gold Star Mothers made a trip to Washington, DC to discuss various concerns with their elected representatives.

According to NewsMax.com there was only one politician in DC who refused to meet with these ladies. Can you guess which politician that might be?

Was it New York Senator Charles Schumer? Nope, he met with them.

Try again. Do you know anyone serving in the Senate who has never showed anything but contempt for our military? Do you happen to know the name of any politician in Washington who's husband once wrote of his loathing of the military?

Now you're getting warm! You got it! None other than the Queen herself, The Hildebeast, Hillary Clinton. She refused repeated requests to meet with the Gold Star Mothers.

Now -- please don't tell me you're surprised. This woman wants to be president of the United States --- and there is a huge percentage of the voters who are anxious to help her achieve that dream.

5. If Clinton were President,
that would make Mrs. Sheehan a super patriot that is trying to add some dignity to her Son's useless death, caused by Clinton's War based on lies.

6. That's hard to imagine
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 10:10 AM by Jack Rabbit
Bush figures he's right, everybody else is wrong and there's nothing to discuss.

Whatever faults Clinton had, refusing to acknowledge those who disagreed with him or to treat them with respect was not among them.

Clinton once at a town hall meeting impressed a young man, not even old enough to vote, who came to tell him that he would outlaw abortion and prosecute both the doctor and patient for murder. "At least you're consistent," Clinton began. Clinton didn't try to change the young man's mind -- he probably couldn't have, anyway -- but did tell him that the issue should remain open as not even all theologians agreed with the position he was taking. The youngster was pleased with the meeting, saying, "he talked to me rather than down to me."

The attitudes of the two men mark the difference between the democratic and the imperious.

7. 50 satellite trucks there with live coverage
Also, the "news" networks would have a video montage of Cindy that they played during every commercial break.

8. If Clinton Was Pres. The News and Media Would be Literally CONSUMED By
the story. There would be non-stop wall to wall coverage of this in every medium for weeks w/out relenting. Every News Channel would have a "Cindy Watch", every newspaper would have daily stories on the front page and analysis sections for this one story. You get the drift.

I'm glad she's getting some attention, but if it were Clinton, this story would be all consuming, instead of just one of many, as it is now.

9. Clinton would have never had to have met with her
because he would have NEVER invaded a country under false pretenses!

11. Well, in order to play "What if Clinton had refused to meet Mrs. Sheehan?"
Edited on Tue Aug-09-05 10:34 AM by KansDem
You'd have to first play:

1) What if Clinton stole the election of 2000 with the help of his brother and first cousin;
2) What if Clinton had said soon after arriving at the White House, "F*ck Saddam, we're taking him out."
3) What if Clinton had war plans for Iraq on his desk when he arrived at the White House;
4) What if Clinton ignored 9/11 warnings from several foreign intelligence services;
5) What if Clinton had created an "Office of Special Plans" to fabricate his own intelligence for his policies;
6) What if Clinton had ignored the August 6 PDB, "bin Laden determined to attack within the US;"
7) What if Clinton had sat and done nothing when informed by his Chief of Staff that "We are under attack;"
8) What if Clinton had invaded Iraq even though bin Laden was in Afghanistan;
9) What if Clinton had invaded Iraq even though 75% of the 9/11 terrorists had Saudi passports?
10) What if Clinton had said a year after the 9/11 attacks "Osama? Osama who?"
11) What if Clinton and his father had a cozy relationship with the bin Laden family;
12) What if Clinton had flown several members of the bin Laden family out of the US in the day(s) following 9/11 and before the FBI could question them.
13) What if Clinton had proclaimed "Mission accomplished" when it was evident that it certainly was not;
14) What if Clinton had awarded millions of dollars in no-bid contracts to a corporation Al Gores was formerly CEO of, for work/services provided to US troops in Iraq.
15) What if Clinton outed a CIA operative and her front operation she was using to gather intelligence on WMDs in order to silence the criticism of her husband and others;
16) What if Clinton had failed to secure ammunition depots after invading Iraq, enabling these munitions to be taken by insurgents;
17) What if Clinton had allowed bin Laden to escape at Tora Bora;
18) What if Clinton had invaded Iraq based on lies as evidenced in the DSMs.

(Did I miss anything?)

I began this list in somewhat chronological order, but more "What ifs..." came to mind as I was typing...

on edit: What if Clinton had boasted "Bring it on!" thereby encouraging terrorists/insugents to attack US troops.

12. This is a new version of a game I like to play called
What if Hillary had run a stop sign and killed her ex-boyfriend and no charges were brought?
