Conservative News of the Day: Hillary Clinton Campaign Emerges

Hillary Campaign Conspicuously Emerges
December 7, 2011 RSS Feed Print

Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign is still alive and today it emerged from the shadows to remind supporters that she "made history" in the 2008 campaign and that mementos from that bid are now for sale.[/si

In an E-mail, the Hillary Clinton for President campaign revived speculation that she is still interested in the Oval Office despite new denials that President Obama is considering replacing Vice President Joe Biden with his secretary of state. [Read Veep Fights: Clinton Vs. Bachmann.]

The E-mail comes as a new Washington Whispers poll finds that Clinton is the runaway favorite of those seeking a third party candidate. In our poll, 39 percent picked Clinton as their choice to head a third party. Mike Huckabee is next at 20 percent and Donald Trump dead last at 12 percent.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Here in Los Angeles, it was so cold that Christmas shoppers here at the Wal-Mart pepper sprayed each other just to feel the burn.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich sentenced to 14 years in prison. This is the most disgraceful thing to happen to an Illinois governor since their last governor.

According to reports, one of Moammar Gadhafi’s sons had an elaborate plan to sneak into Mexico. Authorities broke up the plan before it took place. Believe me, if there's one thing Mexico will not stand for, it’s people sneaking over their border.

There was an embarrassing moment for Rick Perry. He announced that it was the anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Jam.

There are 17 more shopping days until Christmas. So, guys, that means 16 more days till we start shopping, right?

India has suspended its plans to let a Wal-Mart open in its country. The prime minister's exact words were “India will make your cr**** [edit bb] clothes, but we won't buy them.”

Someone hacked into Facebook and leaked Mark Zuckerberg's private photos. When Zuckerberg realized someone had showed a blatant disregard for his privacy, he hired them.

Rod Blagojevich is going away for 14 Years in prison. His barber got the death penalty.

Newt Gingrich did not make it on the Most Fascinating People list. He made it on another list of 2011 though: Most Fascinating Newts.

Mitt Romney now says the gloves are coming off. And then Ron Paul said, "And my teeth are coming out.”

The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson

The former governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich got 14 Years in prison. He will probably get time off for good hair.

To give you an idea how long that is, take Kim Kardashian's marriage and add 14 years.

He was convicted of trying to sell Barack Obama's vacant senate seat. If he had waited a few years, he could probably sell it back to Barack Obama.

Alec Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight yesterday. The good news is, it freed up three seats for standby passengers.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Donald Trump is hosting a debate in Iowa, but so far Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are the only presidential candidates to RSVP. Rick Santorum actually requested a plus one — you know, so he could bring all of his supporters.

This week, a designer in New York unveiled a bottle of perfume that costs $1 million. Yeah, a million bucks for a few ounces of liquid. Which explains its name: “Starbucks.”

Dr. Phil just revealed that he helped perform his own vasectomy 30 years ago. In related news, never make small talk in an elevator with Dr. Phil.

This month marks the 19th anniversary of the text message. Man, I can’t believe that 20 years ago, we didn’t have the ability to write someone and let them know, “Hey, just called you.”

Army slashing 8,700 jobs as budget cuts begin

quote:

With deeper budget cuts looming, the Pentagon is starting to cut back by trimming the Defense Department’s civilian workforce.

The Army said Thursday it is moving forward with plans announced in July to cut about 8,700 positions, using a mix of early retirement offers, buyouts and attrition to trim the jobs by the end of the fiscal year in late September.

“Army commands and agencies are continuing to take necessary actions to reduce their civilian on-board strength to meet funded targets established by the secretary of defense and reflected in the President’s budget,” Thomas R. Lamont, assistant secretary of the Army for manpower and reserve affairs, said in a statement. “To the maximum extent possible, the Army will rely on voluntary departures to achieve these manpower reductions.”

Rand Paul: Republicans would take a giant step backward by choosing Gingrich

quote:

Gingrich is not from the tea party. He is not even a conservative.

He is part of the Washington establishment I was sent to fight. He has been wrong on many of the major issues of the day, and he has taken money from those who helped cause the housing crisis and create millions of foreclosures.

What establishment politicians like Gingrich don’t understand is that the Republican Party wins when it stands up for what it believes in, as many of my new colleagues did in 2010.

We also win when we effectively run against big government. We cannot do that if we nominate a candidate who has both embraced it and been enriched by it.

Don't listen to folks like empty suit Sean Hannity that says he has no candidate but defends his RINO pal every chance he gets; and The Drugster was out to snacks when he said on the post above this one that Ron Paul has zippo to do w/ the TEA PARTY....

quote:

AUDIO: Rush Limbaugh: ‘Ron Paul Has Nothing To Do With The Tea Party’

quote:

"The Tea Party is not the Ron Paul campaign. Ron Paul has nothing to do with the Tea Party– zilch, zero, nada."

No wonder his audience a few months back dropped off by 33%..who is this hot air balloon to say that Paul (who I mock mostly) can not have TP support...there's likely 1000s of grass roots TPs, take for instance the town I grew up in of a few 1000 people in NJ...they may have a branch, & be 100% for Paul..and doesn't Limbaugh know that the TP is mostly about economic issues.....so many might support his economic stands, not his stand on Iran or foreign policy. The signs at every rally that I've been to are on economics, not Iran, Israel, gun rights or abortion.

I mainly put down Dr. Paul but the Drugster should know that he has won straw polls in places like Dubuque; and come in 2nd in places like Az. among Tea Partiers....the hot air balloon wrong, once again.

BB UPDATES:* Some were praying for my best friend Tony who suffered a massive stroke on Oct. 24th, had brain bleeding, and pneumonia...he has been recovering and has been moved to a rehab. Praise God! I talk to his elderly mom almost everyday; his daughter on others, and I have held off as I have a throat cough problem for the last 6 weeks from visiting yet; his mom told me today that he too had a throat problem...please keep Tony in prayer.

* As noted I have had a bad cough for 6 weeks or more. They have done a chest x-ray to rule out pneumonia, and a test for strep throat I have neither. But due to my compromised immune system & pulmonary arterial hypertension (a rare lung problem) they gave me another course of anti-biotics, a pill for coughs and an inhaler that can help w/ chronic cough. I have to do a CT of my chest & lungs asap, and consult asap w/ my pulmonary specialist, so my PCP yesterday said that it might be best if I cancelled my holiday plans to be w/ family in Pensacola. If I can get all of this done, & the cough goes away I might hold out until Christmas week to see if I can book a flight..I need your prayers too. Thanks (how I miss the site's PRAYER WALL, don't many of you?)....Ricardo

Could a Dark Horse Win?

quote:

In an essay for Sabato’s Crystal Ball, senior columnist Rhodes Cook observes that the first four contests — Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida — will bind only 115 delegates, out of 2,282 total. In fact, “heading into Super Tuesday [March 6], only 15 percent of the GOP delegates will have been chosen,” he notes. To win the nomination, a candidate needs a majority, or 1,142 delegates, and it’s possible that states with later primaries won’t follow their early cousins’ lead. For a dark horse to triumph, however, he or she has two options: Either win enough delegates in the run-up to the convention, or emerge victorious from a brokered convention.

Should Mormonism be a factor in presidential race?

quote:

"He pledges all of his time, talent, and money to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. So some people are very concerned that if push came to shove and there was a conflict between his loyalty to the Constitution and his loyalty to the Mormon Church, many fear that the loyalty would be to the church," the filmmaker explains.
