Signs of Dissention in the Ranks....
Yes, I do actually read the Lefties. I don't link many here, because, well, many of them are so off the wall that I end up shaking my head in disbelief and going somewhere else. Some are actually psuedo-intellectuals, but many are just... trying to be nice here... .... I give up. No, wait...
"Well-intentioned intellectual strays"
...Nah, that's not particularly nice, so, moving on!
Arianna Huffington, however, is not entirely Kooksville-- more than a few of her contributors are, but not Ms. Huff. ANYWAY! Reading through some of her commentors, it's becoming more and more clear that the Left is as disappointed, if not more so, than the Right is in it's elected leaders...
Here's a few choice comments right off the top... The topic? Hillary and Bill
And Republican's are worried about a Hillary campaign? I guess it depends on who gets the Republican nod. McCain? Hill's a shoe in -- better the devil you know, and all that. But there's definitely some major dissention in them thar ranks, troops. The battle won't be bloodless, but it ain't likely t'be lost neither. But who am I kidding. We've got two years to watch both parties castrate themselves before the American public... to say nothing of the rest of the world... with the willing and gleeful support of our esteemed media elite.
It promises to be quite a brouhaha.

"I have yet to hear of even one Democrat who supports Hillary on this site.
"I think she and McCain ought to be on the same ticket so that we can reject them both with a single vote.
"Both are disgusting demogogues and anything but what this country needs right now."
--proud2bindy
"Like Feinstein, Hillary still doesn't get it. You can't work with the Republicans. You have to throw them out, and the only way to do that is to admit they suckered you and pledge not to let them do it again.
"The problem with millionaire leaders lake Feinstein, Clinton, and Kerry, is that if they lose, they go home to their mansions and holdings, and WE take the hit. Their wealth insulates them from their failures.
"And yeah, it's class warfare. They started it."
--slideguy
"I refuse to vote for Hillary. Period."
--Keemia
"I can understand the DLC proclaiming that 72% of Dems support Hillary but the DNC under Howard Dean? Gawd...
"I worked my duff off to get Bill Clinton elected the first time around and donated a boatload of cash to do so. What did we get for my effort and the effort of millions of fellow Dems? A brilliant guy makes it to the Oval who consciously embraces the most idiotic, self-destructive streak imaginable--> a penchant for selfish regard that hobbled his ability to get done what we wished and fed the voracious and hypocritical neocon appetite for smug outrage. Gee, thanks Bill.
"Clinton never screwed over the Republican party or its base. He screwed us. So fuck Bill Clinton and his fury at being questioned about his pandering, self-serving, trangulating wife. Message to Bill and Hillary: We owe you NOTHING! Got it, pal? Zip. Zilch. Zero. Giving Hillary a free pass, Mister Bill, will not happen, should not happen and no pissy bleating on your part will force voting Dems into such undeserved genuflection.
"We deign to be polite because that's our nature but seriously, who the fuck do the Clintons think they are getting miffed at a perfectly justifiable question? Hillary, a total milquetoast as a senator, will kill our future in pursuit of her own ambitions. Any Hillary promoters out there have got to wake up to that fact. For God's sake, in a nation of 250 million we most certainly have fresher faces and ideas to support."
--MartinSchenk
"The presidency is not inherited, it is earned. Hillary still has time to earn my vote, but I prefer candidates who show courage every day, not just on the eve of an election."
--pheidole
"Why oh why doesn't anyone tell it like it is with Bill C? Were it not for his addictive sexual behavior Al Gore have been prez, no sweatsky! No W. no war, no environmental carnage, and so on! "It's Bill stupid!" as Carville certainly would not ever say! Now, his wife stood by him. Are wee supposed to respect this latter day Tammy Wynett behavior, much less think of H as a prez? She appears to be a good senator, let her stay there."

That great, El!
Sorry if I sound like a broken record here, but Al Gore will be the nominee!
I don't see Al Gore as a nominee for President. Especially after stating for the record that Global Warming is more of a threat than terrorism.
And let's hope Hillary is th enominee... A yellow dog has more of a chance of winning.
Hillary will win. It's not madness for Gore to say that global warming is a greater threat than terrorism. That's patently obvious. How many people did terrorism (against the US) kill and how many will die if tropical diseases begin to spread North, hurricans increase in strength and low lying regions are flooded. Not to mention how easily a simple thing like a heatwave can kill many elderly people, remember France?
Hillary may win the nomination but she won't win the White House. She's all but un-electable.
As to tropical diseases... Twice in the last year I have read reports about the coming demise of the worlds most favorite fruit: The Banana....
"The trouble is that [the banana's] popularity is under threat. According to reports by biologists, the banana could be heading down the road to extinction. Or, to be more precise, the Cavendish - the variety sold in shops throughout Britain - may be en route to oblivion."
Personally, I hope Hillary doesn't get the nomination or the presidency. All political positions aside, I don't think it's good for the country to keep handing the presidency back and forth between two political families. And after W, I'd really like to see someone less polarizing and able to unite people. I don't think she can do that.
Agreed.
I guess we should all go out and buy some "Bean-o" in support of the fight against global warming!
