HILL: I'M THE JFK OF 2008

[Warrior-Mentor]

No doubt trying to stomp the comparisons between Obama and JFK...

Declaring you are JFK [or comparing himself to JFK] didn't work for Dan Quayle. :rolleyes:

Will it work for Hillary?

Let's see. She's not young, male or charismatic...hmmm...

March 11, 2007 -- NASHUA, N.H. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton invoked the campaign of the nation's lone Catholic president, John Kennedy, last night as she talked about her challenge in becoming the first female commander-in-chief.

"He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring and he was Catholic. A lot of people back then [1960] said, 'America will never elect a Catholic as president,' " the White House hopeful told the New Hampshire Democrats' 100 Club fund-raiser here.

"But those who gathered here almost a half century ago knew better," she said. "They believed America was bigger than that and Americans would give Sen. John F. Kennedy a fair shake, and the rest, as they say, is history."

Noting women are "the majority" of voters and are in the workforce in "record numbers," she added, "So when people tell me 'a woman can never be president,' I say, we'll never know unless we try."

Kennedy's name is most often invoked by supporters of Clinton's main Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama, usually comparing their charisma.

Clinton also rapped the White House, accusing President Bush of creating "invisible Americans" across the country.

"We no longer have a president who puts people first," she said, citing veterans waiting for treatment, first responders, single moms needing child care, the middle class and the working poor. "You are invisible to this administration."

Earlier, at a stop at the Swan Chocolate shop in Nashua, Clinton defended her support for a senate resolution for a potential March 2008 end date to the Iraq war.

"What we have done now is to set a goal, a goal to try to move the president to understand what needs to be done in order to change the mission in Iraq and begin to bring our troops home," said Clinton, who's been criticized for her vote authorizing force in Iraq in 2002.

"I see this as absolutely consistent with what many of us are trying to do which is to reign in the president and prevent the escalation of troops that he is pursuing. We hope it will work."

Also yesterday, the Democratic White House front-runner had a private meeting with Gov. John Lynch and well-known former state Sen. Mary Louise Hancock in Concord.

I would lay pretty good odds that truth be known, JFK actually got fewer votes than Nixon, and had a thorough investigation been done, Kennedy would not have been the victor.

Maybe she thinks she will be the next Al F'ing Gore.:rolleyes:

Wasn't that ass clown Kerry also saying he was the next JFK, too?

I think he'd be the last president someone would want to compare themselves to. I mean, who wants to end their Presidency with getting a headshot in Dallas?

Would it be better to be the next President who got a BJ in the Oval Office?

And whats sad is... I could see Hillary getting a BJ in the "Oval Oriface..."

I always thought she was the one that wore the pants in the family... :rolleyes:

He had a right to. After all, he spent his entire life mimicking the man's path.

Marilyn was much better looking than Monica. :D

Gross. I don't like the picture that just popped in my head.

And I forgot the JFK/Marilyn angle. That's proof he had better taste than BillyBoy.

[82ndtrooper]

"We are setting a goal" Hillary's response to the March 08 pull out date for the troops.

Since when is a date to quit a goal ? A "goal" would be to win by some measurable standard. A "Goal" would be to achieve a task worth noting by accomplishment. A "Goal" is setting forth an achievment for a future task, not jut a timeline on quiting.

Would the Chicago Bears have met their goal by quiting after they scored the first 14 pts in the Super Bowl and then packing up due to rain ?

Hillary cant even define a simple work like "goal" unless it means quiting. :rolleyes:

Doesn't sound to me like JFK was much on cutting and running. Not sure how that squares with the current Dim leadership....:rolleyes:

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.
This much we pledge—and more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of faithful friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not meet a powerful challenge at odds and split asunder.
To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we pledge our word that one form of colonial control shall not have passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them strongly supporting their own freedom—and to remember that, in the past, those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.
To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—not because the Communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

JFK

[Ret10Echo]

So why do the Dims try so hard to wrap themselves in the persona of JFK? Is it an assumption that most people have a somewhat cloudy view of what the man stood for? He was the right man at the right time in history. But I think that the only other former POTUS they can hold up is Roosevelt and that is a bit of a mind stretch for the 24 hour news cycle general public......

JFK

Still waiting for a Dem with the spine to quote him.
Joe Lieberman is about as close as they get...
My how the times have changed. :boohoo

Here goes. New paraphrased version of JFK's inagural speech for the Dim candidates and leadership to use.

TR

"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty, as long as it doesn't take too long, cost too much, or prove to be difficult.
This much we pledge—and no more.
To those old allies whose cultural and spiritual origins we share, we pledge the loyalty of feckless friends. United, there is little we cannot do in a host of easy, profitable, and largely meaningless cooperative ventures. Divided, there is little we can do—for we dare not offend even a weak and insignificant challenge with force or much more than harsh language. Unless they are Republicans.
To those new States whom we welcome to the ranks of the free, we regret to inform them that one form of colonial control has passed away merely to be replaced by a far more iron tyranny of Islamic law. We shall not always expect to find them supporting our view. But we shall always hope to find them not burning the American flag, attacking our embassies, and trying to kill our soldiers who are there dying and suffering to guarantee their new-found freedom.
To those peoples in the huts and villages across the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required—as long as it costs no American lives or money, is not too difficult, can be accomplished in a few days with little effort, and is not too difficult for the media to spin to our advantage. And if it starts to go bad, we will quickly try to blame it on the other party.
If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich, live in Hollywood or DC, preach environmentalism while flying private jets and using limousines, insist on peace when war is the proper course of action, plan to increase taxes and the size of government while dodging the regs themselves, wish to take away the guns from law abiding citizens while using heavily armed guards and PSDs for their own security, strive to protect the dregs of criminal society from just legal consequences, who hate this country and loathe everything it stands for, and who plan a "slow bleed" policy for our forces who are engaged in combat overseas.
So help me Allah!"
