This was a hell of a thing to wake up to this morning. Not surprised, really...but it still makes me feel ill.

Well, if nothing else, 2008 should be quite interesting politically. I don't think hellary is the political dynamo that people are fearing; she will turn out to be quite divisive (I hope).

Let's go with Circle 8, Bolgia 5.

Bolgia 5: Corrupt politicians (barrators) are immersed in a lake of boiling pitch, guarded by devils, the Malebranche ("Evil Claws").


I'm hoping that she IS divisive, and becomes a nonthreat. It still concerns me to no end. You could see this day coming for the past seven years. This has been talked about since the day Bill Clinton left office.

If she could become Senator of New York without actually being a real resident there, maybe we could encourage her to move to England long enough to run for Tony Blair's soon-to-be vacant post. Who knows...stranger things have happened.

Anyone else remember CHINA GATE?

(The Chinese donating large sums to the Clintons)

Now read UNRESTRICTED WARFARE [this is a MUST READ for professional military personnel, senior leaders, war planners and anyone remotely involved in homeland security]:

http://www.terrorism.com/documents/T...restricted.pdf

Written by two Colonels in the Chinese Army, it advocates exactly that as one of many methods of defeating an opponent. Corruption...there's a concept that works.

My point?

Let's keep an eye on the campaign war chests and who's filling them...

Oh, absolutely. While many are enamored of hellary, there are many within her own party that will do anything to stop her. All of her past corruption will definitely see the light of day; whch democRAT opponent can pass up her stupid $100,000.00 cattle deal?

The reason I think that 2007 and 2008 will be interesting politically is because I look forward to the nastiness that will come out in the democRAT primaries. hellary is already going after Barack Hussein Obama, revealing his schooling in a madrasa. This is going to get good, I expect.

Indeed. And I look forward to it. To me, the best politics are when the opponents expend energy attacking each other.

Unfortunately they don't get their just deserts until they enter the afterlife. That leaves the rest of us SCREWED in the meantime. I hope the internicine squabbling bleeds them dry before the election. The more bloodletting, the more attractive the lackluster Republican choices become. It's definately shaping up to be another "lesser of two evils" campaign. Peregrino

I hope more Dems join the race for POTUS then; the country will see, just HOW divided and indecisive they really are...

Stay safe.

How can this be? She told the good people in the State of New York that she would not run for President when she announced her re-election campaign for the senate. Too bad the media haven't picked up on her big fat lie. The one nice thing is that we'll get to watch is the nasty cat fight between Obama and Clinton that is looming. It will seriously hurt whoever survives that brawl much like it hurt Kerry having to put down Dean.

I definately agree Guy. It wil be like that scene from Pitch Black, where the 'monsters' started eating themselves.

Does anyone think that the Republican primaries will be any different?

With no one but "Moderate" (RINO) Repub candidates stepping-up, it will be equally ugly, if not moreso, as they try to retain the center while denying their liberal records.

As of right now, it appears that gun owners will be screwed, no matter who wins.

It will be the same on the Rep. side as well. This is the reason I can see Leiberman making a strong run, if he so chooses.
