Sexist quote of the day: "She ought to get out."

Here's a good ol pink-faced sexist from Vermont, Sen Patrick Leahy. Just one of the many Obamafans who raged and ragged at "Hillary" to just get out already. Everyday they did that. What were they afraid of? You don't yell at someone to get out unless you actually believe they can win. Even back then Barry was showing his weaknesses. Anyway Leahy was interviewed by Bob Kinzel on Vermont Public Radio and he let his whiny misogyny fly.

(HOST) Will a protracted battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democratic presidential nomination hurt the Party's chances of winning the November election?

Senator Patrick Leahy, who supports Obama, says the answer is yes, and he thinks Clinton should drop out of the race. But Clinton's supporters in Vermont have a very different opinion.

VPR's Bob Kinzel reports:

KINZEL: It's a question that's being raised in political discussions on the radio, on TV, in newspapers and in the blogs. And the results of a new poll highlight the danger for the Democrats if their presidential primary contest gets any nastier.

According to a new Gallup poll, 28% of Hillary Clinton's supporters say they'd vote for GOP candidate John McCain if Barack Obama wins the Democratic nomination and 19% of Obama's supporters say they'd vote for McCain if Clinton is the Party's nominee.

Senator Patrick Leahy, who's a super delegate supporting Obama, is clearly worried about this situation:

LEAHY: "I am very concerned. John McCain, who has been making one gaffe after another, is getting a free ride on it because Senator Obama and Senator Clinton have to fight with each other. I think that her criticism is hurting him more than anything John McCain has said. I think that's unfortunate.

KINZEL: Leahy says it's virtually impossible for Clinton to win more elected delegates than Obama, and as a result, he thinks it's time for her to accept defeat:

LEAHY: There is no way that Senator Clinton is going to win enough delegates to get the nomination. She ought to withdraw and she ought to be backing Senator Obama. Now, obviously that's a decision that only she can make. Frankly, I feel that she would have a tremendous career in the Senate.

Frankly, does it get more patronizing than that? And what in the hell kind of career has he had? Never heard of him before this. Never heard of most of those pink-faced old boys who came out bashing Sen Clinton...mostly presidential failures. Whose fault is it that Bush is in the White House? Al Gore & Donna Brazile & Kerry & Edwards. No Bush no Iraq.

KINZEL: Former Governor Madeleine Kunin is the co-chair of the Clinton campaign in Vermont. She thinks Leahy is dead wrong on this issue:

KUNIN: It is premature, to tell her to drop out now is just unfair because it isn't over. Admittedly, it's tough for Senator Clinton to get a majority of the delegates but it's not over till it's over. It seems a bit Patronizing to tell her 'Honey, you know you've got to drop out for the good of the Party.' Sure it's not easy, but I think the process has to go forward as it was designed to go.

KINZEL: And Kunin thinks, in the end, the Democrats will unite behind one of these candidates:

KUNIN: I think both Democratic candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton know that what everybody wants in the Democratic party is a winner and some of this is just inevitable. But I think they will unite and I'm confident that judging by the turnout at every Democratic primary which has been unprecedented that Democrats will do very well in November.

KINZEL: It's likely that roughly 800 super delegates will ultimately decide this race. Vermont has 7 super delegates - five are supporting Obama, one is backing Clinton and one person - former governor and now D.N.C. chairman Howard Dean is neutral.

Howard Dean neutral? When did that happen?

The obligatory "statement" from Leahy once someone told him what a sexist he was.

Any clear-eyed (non-hormonal?)appraisal of the campaign at this stage adds up to two conclusions: The bottom line is that, first, Senator Obama continues to hold a lead that appears to be insurmountable (then why the worry?) and recent indications are that more and more unpledged delegates have begun to add their support to his column.

And second, John McCain, who has been making one mistake after another, is getting a free ride on those gaffes, because the Democratic candidates have to focus not on him but on each other.

Senator Casey's endorsement of Senator Obama in Pennsylvania is the latest sign of how the race is going. (Yeah, his teenage daughters told him to endorse Obama.)

A Democratic victory in November is important to the future and to the change in course that the American people want and deserve. The last thing the American people need is for Senator McCain to continue a third term for President Bush.

Senator Clinton has every right, but not a very good reason, (Because she poses a serious threat to Barry?) to remain a candidate for as long as she wants to. (Well, thank you, Mr President.) As far as the delegate count and the interests of a Democratic victory in November go, there is not a very good reason for drawing this out. But as I have said before, that is a decision that only she can make. (And yet you raged on the radio that she ought to get out and she ought to endorse barry.)

Senator Clinton has begun a tremendous career in the Senate, and she has a bright future ahead of her. She faces difficult decisions ahead, and I wish her the best.

He thinks women can't understand: "bright future ahead of her"? Hear of racial "code words"? Well, there are even more sexist "code words" if the outright words and dismissive body language isn't clear enough. "Bright future ahead of her" is what women hear when they're being passed over by a man with little or no experience for the job.

SHERRI WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT CAMPAIGN
BARBARA -- FEDERAL HELP FOR PEOPLE LOSING THEIR HOMES
Hillary says it should be a fight. Contentious with our surrogates. media "contributes to the sense of BITTERNESS." Look Senator Clinton is a bright (what you say to a child or underling) dedicated public servant. She was my friend before this contest started and she's gonna be friend after this contest ends. What I'm absolutely convinced of is that once we're all done - the Democrats will come together. That they will have a nominee they can be proud of and is going to work hard on their behalf [THEIR BEHALF?] In the same way that AFTER I BEAT JOHN MCCAIN...

[He just names himself and that the world will be proud of him!]

I trust that I'm gonna be able to---applause and laughter and smug smile--he puts out his hand (1:45) to shut up Elisabeth--Here's what I was gonna say Elisabeth. After I beat John McCain - I am not one who believes the democrats have a monopoly on wisdom. I come from the Land of Lincoln.

[Why does he keep bringing his name in reference to Abraham Lincoln? Ronald Reagan? FDR?]

ELISABETH: What about the economy? (3:13) Talk about taxes. How are you gonna handle taxes?

He makes a joke about him having to pay taxes. "I WANT TO CUT TAXES FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MAKING THAN 75K A YEAR OR LESS....Those of us who can afford to pay a little more pay a little more - those of us who need more help will pay less.

Quote of the day: "The Clinton women - they're tough"

March 28, 2008
Morning Joe discussion of Obama's appearance on The View and HRC's calling for Democrats to unite against McCain.

Video clip courtesy of Teamsugar. It shows Obama discussing Rev Wright.

WALTERS: Were he (wright) still there, would you then have left the church or have said I just can't have anything to do with him?

OBAMA: Had the reverend not retired, and had he not acknowledged that what he had said had deeply offended people and were inappropriate and mischaracterized what I believe is the greatness of this country, for all its flaws, then I wouldn't have felt comfortable staying there at the church.

GEIST: ...not one or two isolated incidents - there is a pattern there. Again he's answering the question the same way he's always answered it.

SCARBOROUGH: Andrea Mitchell came out with a report that the church bulletins were attacking Italians Americans and Jewish Americans. This wright guy did not seem to be a uniter. He was not a guy that preached hope and so there is a disconnect.

SCARBOROUGH:...he (wright) did a eulogy of somebody and even in the eulogy just went on this anti-American tirade again...Hillary Clinton, like Barack Obama, saying the Democratic Party needs to come together

GESIT: Yeah she went out on the stump yesterday and said look you can vote for me or you can vote for Obama -- I'd rather you vote for me - but you sure as hell can't vote for John McCain.

And then a clip of HRC stumping in Fayetteville, North Carolina telling people in no uncertain terms they have to vote Democrat. She was rocking. Check her out.

HRC: Please think through this decision. It is not a wise decision for yourself or your country. She laughs and crowd laughs and applauds. You know, Senator Obama has intense support, I have intense support and that's exciting because people want to be involved. But the differences, and there are, in my view, significant differences between Senator Obama and myself, but those differences pale in comparison to the differences between us and Senator McCain.

***
SCARBOROUGH: I think my girlfriend did very well yesterday. I like that tone.

GEIST to Savannah Guthrie: Yes. You missed this Savannah - he's got a new thing with Hillary Clinton. He's in love.

SCARBOROUGH: I've got a crush on Chelsea and Hillary - the Clinton women - they're tough. They are tough. Some people would be disturbed by it. I just - I like toughness. In a society where most men are wimps - here we have Hillary Clinton who's tough as nails. And it looks like Chelsea is too.

And barry? Limped home after winning 11-in-1-row and needed to be anointed the nominee.

Quote of the day: "...fooled by George Bush?"

March 27, 2008 (Same day on The View Obama didn't mention economy in his top 3.
Yahoo debate
Bill Maher

Maher: Senator Clinton all the senators here except Senator Obama voted [BECAUSE HE DID NOT HAVE A VOTE! CAN'T SAY YOU VOTED AGAINST SOMETHING YOU DIDN'T HAVE A VOTE ABOUT AND HE SAID IN 2004 THAT HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW HE WOULD HAVE VOTED.] for the Iraq resolution in 2002, saying that their decision was based on intelligence that they believed to be accurate at the time. In other words, George Bush fooled them. Why should people vote for someone who can be fooled by George Bush?

Now look what Maher said about Senator Clinton on 2-21-08. He said: "I wonder how much Hillary's cunt is worth." And yet she handles herself with dignity.

"I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit back while you tear down Wright and Farrakhan."

March 24th Father Pflegler, an ordained Catholic priest, rants from Rev Wright's pulpit at Obama's church, defending Farrakhan and Wright. Wright "stepped down" on March 14th. Check out the tone and cadence and see who he reminds you of. Pflegler heads St Sabina's church in a predominantly black neighborhood and is a strong voice for the community. He gave sanctuary to an illegal Mexican immigrant until the authorities eventually took her away. You can see he is quite comfortable in his words and the environment and they with him and his hate. His hate is not worthy of being transcribed.

Gaffe of the day: "They're both not ready!"

March 7, 2008
Susan Rice in response to 3am ad. "They're both not ready to have that 3am call. When they answer the phone for the first time, who is going to have the right judgment? Who is going to make the right decision? On the critical foreign policy decisions of the day - whether it was the decision to go to war with Iraq or the decision to give President Bush the benefit of the doubt and beat the drums of war with Iran, Hillary Clinton has made the same decision as John McCain and George Bush. Barack Obama has made a very different judgment.

Yes. He obamanated. He had no vote on Iraq. He made a speech out of political expediency that if we won - no problem and if we lost he becomes the nominee. And the Iran guard vote? He couldn't obamanate as usual aka vote *present* so he said he didn't know there was going to be a vote and hid out in NH. The others on the trail made it back. Barry's judgment? It's the judgment of the bots that is clearly as demented as the botleader.

John Kerry: Obama protected him on Iraq

March 4, 2008
Day of TX/OH/RI/VT primaries
John Kerry admits that Barry waffled on Iraq. barry gave a speech. He told people he voted against it but when it came down to it he got up there at the convention and said nothing. In other words, barry was being barry: say one thing and then do what's ever politically expedient. barry's Iraq stance is beyond a fairy tale. There is absolutely no proof that speech was said as written. There is no audio, video or independent transcript. It didn't even make the papers the next day. Nothing. And yet every single person who voted for barry thinks he had a vote and his speech meant something. Idiots.

"He tried to protect John Edwards and me when he was in Boston."

Senator Clinton: "Obama has a speech"

March 3, 2008
Senator Clinton Stump

HRC: I think that I have a lifetime of experience that I will bring to the White House. I know Senator McCcain has a life time of experience that he will bring to the White House and Senator Obama has a speech he gave on 2002.

CAFFERTY whines.

BORGER: His answer to that is 'do you think my supporters are delusional'. He said that in a recent debate.

JOHN KING:...consider what she just said there. She's essentially saying that Barack Obama is a fraud. He has a speech and I have a record....

BLITZER: I've always felt that if she does win the nomination, she would have no choice but to ask him to be her running mate because it would rally the democrats, bring the party together, although I'm not convinced he necessarily would have to ask her.

BORGER: No. Definitely not. Laughs.

KING laughs.

CAFFERTY: The answer to that would be real interesting.

I think he is in terrible need of a colonic.

Hmm...barry didn't ask her and where is he now? And what are they whining about now? HRC going out and swaying her voters who are pissed he didn't pick her.
