ABANDONING THREAD: Your views on Hillary Clinton press conference: 3 PM ET/12 Noon PT. On MSNBC...

[Radio_Lady]

There are 21 Republican senate seats up for grabs in 2008 (including our very own Republican Gordon Smith of Oregon, who recently expressed disgust with his own party.) That's approximately 1/3rd of the senate in play.

Hillary is not on that list. Let's see what she has to say.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

ON UPDATE: Too many ugly negativists on the DU today.

Good bye and good luck.

1. Z-z-z-z-z-z-z-z

Oh rats, I have a conflict. That's when I was going to clean the lint out of my belly button. Guess I'll just have to miss the message from the Hillster.

[paulk]

7. why would you make a post like this?

A post running down a Democrat just for the sake of running one down?

[Radio_Lady]

12. I agree, PaulK. Let's just ignore Spiral Hawk. OK?

With 100,000 plus members, the DU has ample opportunity for flame wars with people who profess to be Democrats, but who don't like this or that person. I'm chalking it up to :sarcasm:...

23. (Fingers in ears)la..la..la..la.la..la..la

:dunce:

[snowbear]

28. Oasis... you HAVE to use this smilie !!

It's perfect for your response!! :)

[oasis]

33. Thanks. It's a dandy.

:thumbsup:

[durrrty libby]

11. Please..................for the sake of humanity

keep your foul hygiene habits (or lack of)

to yourself :crazy: :freak: :hurts:

[hippiechick]

2. is there a webstream for cuberats ?

:shrug: Thanks!

[Radio_Lady]

5. Hi Hippiechick. I really don't know about that technology. Maybe someone else does!

[xultar]

3. I hope she doesn't run. We need to keep the senate for our new D Pres.

[Radio_Lady]

6. Chris Matthews says we want "something new." Right now, "fresh is best."

I guess he means Obama.

[xultar]

10. Please no one listens to his Fuged up ass. I'd like her to run later

but not now.

[Radio_Lady]

14. "I'd like her to run later, but not now." Please explain... the candidates

for 2008 are already announcing. I think she has to respond, don't you?

Perhaps she won't announce today, but it has to come sooner or later.

I'll be interested in hearing from her... along with Evan Bayh and another person whose name I missed.

[xultar]

20. I'd like to see her run later 2012...later I didn't say announce later.

[Radio_Lady]

21. Oh, I understand. I didn't think of that. Sorry.

[xultar]

30. NP. That's my only problem with Obama running...losing the Senate.

[WI_DEM]

4. Isn't this mainly on her recent trip to Iraq?

plus the inevitable questions about Obama and herself running for president.

[Radio_Lady]

8. You're probably right. But we have to get her from "I support the war" to

"I want the troops out of Iraq."

[coalition_unwilling]

29. Hilary Clinton most definitely did not visit Iraq. Rather she stayed

cloistered in the Emerald City, aka The "Green Zone".

[TahitiNut]

9. MSNBC is obsessed with "Teen Girls Gone Bad"

:puke:

It's a wannabe "Girls Gone Wild" day, I guess.

[EFerrari]

13. Who is Hillary Clinton? n/t

[Radio_Lady]

15. Press Conference is delayed... 3:15 ET. I'm waiting. We'll see.

Chris Matthews is back.

Let's see if he doesn't put his foot in his mouth.

[Radio_Lady]

16. JUST STARTED. 3:16 PM.

[jumpoffdaplanet]

17. It confirms to me why Clinton won't tell she's not running

The cable networks ignore all the other senates until Hilary came on.

They would be ingoring her right now if they knew she wasn't running.

Smart lady.

[Radio_Lady]

18. Good point. Thanks for posting.

[TahitiNut]

19. Shit. Nothing but a trip report - a pretentious travelogue.

:puke:

[Radio_Lady]

22. "Priorities are upside down." "Afghanistan needs more forces, along with NATO forces."

"In Iraq, we should be beginning a phased deployment of troops..."

[Radio_Lady]

24. Proposing CAP on troops in Iraq.

[oasis]

25. "Tougher requirements on this administration". (n/t)

[Radio_Lady]

26. UPDATE: I am abandoning this thread. Sick of the disgusting replies. Thank you.

Press Conference is over. My mistake. I thought there would be lots of people willing to discuss this in the General Discussion group.

I was wrong. Some people decided to clean out their belly button lint, put their fingers in their ears, and generally acted like fools.

It's more than I can bear this afternoon.

Good bye and good luck.

27. Unfortunately, that's what happens when Hillary Clinton is mentioned.

I know people have strong feelings. I've criticized her myself. But, I'm willing to listen to what she has to say. She's still a Democrat. More of a Democrat than Lieberman.

[lovuian]

31. Are you sure about that I saw them kiss on the Senate floor

a cheek kiss to cheek kiss

kinda like Bush & Liberman

My friend can't stand her because what she did to Kerry
She is a Kerry fan

[Connie_Corleone]

32. I thought that was called being polite.

[TahitiNut]

34. "Expectation" is just another word for premeditated resentment.

:evilgrin:

In the event your ire includes my post, be aware that it was EXACTLY on-target at the time I posted it. She had said nothing for the first few minutes but her itinerary and a roll call of the people from whom she supposedly collected the wisdom of the ages in 90-minute sessions or less.

Regarding her 'proposed legislation' ... she poses it in one breath and acknowledges it has no chance of passage in the next breath. That's the very epitome of posturing. Rather than rally support for the most meaningful action Congress can take, political cowardice is ruling the day.
