“Whatever the results of the primaries on Tuesday in Indiana and North Carolina, Mrs. Clinton has accomplished the seemingly impossible in those states,” the New York Times reported. “Somehow, a woman who has not regularly filled her own gasoline tank in well over a decade, who with her husband made $109 million in the last eight years and who vacations with Oscar de la Renta, has transformed herself into a working-class hero.” The article noted that one way Clinton has made this transformation is by not talking about her own biography, which includes growing up in an affluent Chicago suburb and attending prestigious schools.

There is a joke somewhere in this, but it was played on the American people!
Hillary tries too hard to be everyone’s hero.
‘reads article with mouth gaped open’
uhhhh…
(beavis and butthead laughter in background)
uhhhh…
Sort of like Bush doing the same thing by eating pork rinds.
At least she doesn’t DEMEAN American workers like McCain with his “jobs Americans won’t do” or Obama asssuming all working people are bible thumping gun nuts.
At the same time Clinton attacks the big evil American corporations, she complains about NAFTA (which Bill supported and she used to support), and complains about American jobs going overseas.
Does Clinton NOT see the connection between having strong American corporations and having jobs in America?
You can’t beat about American employers and expect to fulfill all these promises of job creation in America.
How stupid is she?
A clinton thread and duh Libs can’t say anything but Bush or McCain.
sad…
It is a bit much, but in her defense I’ll point out that any genuine “working class heroes” by definition do not have the money to run for president.
Oh, they can run, and (maybe) get to run one 30-second audio-only ad on national TV–if they get that much support. I actually saw this “ad” (I believe the guy’s name was Anthony Sparks–he, unfortunately, was a nut).
At least the ever-bashable Ralph Nader lives on a working-class salary, even though his personal fortune is in the millions.
Only about Bush and McCain. That’s my cue. Hillary would be the LAST candidate to understand the average american. Don’t pretend to be “of the people” just try to be “for the people” If any candidate said that, they would receive more respect.
Hillary loves the common people all right:

For the f–king common f–king people.
These quotes are from the REAL Hillary.
Hillary sure likes those common people. As long as they don’t have jobs:
On November 1, 1996, United Press International reported that on a trip to Brownsville, Texas, Clinton “touted the president’s support for the North American Free Trade Agreement, saying it would reap widespread benefits in the region.”
The Associated Press followed up the next day noting that Hillary Clinton touted the fact that “the president would continue to support economic growth in South Texas through initiatives such as the North American Free Trade Agreement.”
AMWAY. I certainly have no love loss for Hillary. But I am not going to buy those books to verify those claims. It wouldn’t surprise me if she had said such things. But you understand that I can’t just believe it because you say it.
Little known facts about Clinton and his Union Basher Friend - Marc Rich. Friend of Labor? LOL!!!!!!!
http://www.ranknfile-ue.org/cap_st23.html
Clinton’s Rich Pardon —
The Final
Insult
As virtually his last act in office, the man that labor put — and kept — in the White House pardons the most notorious unionbuster of the decade …
What these two women accomplished in the dwindling light of the Clinton presidency was extraordinary: They managed to buy a pardon for the man who committed the largest tax fraud in U.S. history, a man who also happens to be one of the past decade’s most notorious unionbusters.
Marc Rich was the mystery-man-in-exile who controlled the Ravenswood Aluminum Company (RAC) in Ravenswood, West Virginia. In the middle of the night back in October 1991, Rich’s private army of goons physically ejected hundreds of Steelworkers from their jobs and declared all 1,700 USWA Local 5668 members locked out. Rich’s underlings turned the plant into an armed bunker. Barbed-wire fences, boarded-up windows, an armored train full of hundreds of scabs, stormtroopers with attack dogs, and everything in sight illuminated with searchlights and covered with bullet-proof steel casing. Workers called it Fort RAC.
I visited Fort RAC the morning after the lockout began, as I was on union assignment just up the road. I have never before, or since, witnessed a company so violent, anti-union, and brazen. It was after several visits to the Ravenswood picketline that I first heard the name “Marc Rich.”
It took the members and families of USWA Local 5668, the national Steelworkers Union, the AFL-CIO Industrial Union Department, and the support of the entire world labor movement to bring an end to that lockout. It lasted 20 months. The toll exacted on the union families of Ravenswood was, of course, enormous. And it all fell at the doorstep of Marc Rich.
BTW, that was a UNION website quoted above - describing the Union Basher friend of Bill and his co-President - Hillary.

Hillary Clinton’s Fully ‘Vetted’ for A General Election Against McCain? Far From It
The Clinton Library is overseen and funded by the Clinton Foundation, which reportedly has raised more than $500 million and, like the Library, keeps its donor list secret.
But it’s hard to keep a secret like the one involving the relationship between Bill Clinton and Canadian financier Frank Giustra. In 2005, Clinton accompanied Giustra to Kazakhstan. Shortly thereafter, Giustra won a valuable Kazakh mining concession. And shortly after that, Giustra donated pledged a $130 million donation to the Clinton Foundation.
Follow the bouncing ball here. The Clintons have a $500 million foundation, and won’t disclose its donors. They have a $165 million library and won’t disclose the library’s donors. Terry McAuliffe, who headed the foundation’s fundraising efforts, now chairs Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Cheryl Mills, who sits on the foundation’s board, is the campaign’s general counsel. Jay Carson, the foundation’s former communications director, serves as the campaign’s press secretary.
The New York Times reported last year that the foundation’s donations were up 70 percent since Hillary Clinton’s campaign got under way—with two-thirds of the money coming from just 11 donors.
I remember Bill having a lot to do with why we are having high oil and gas prices.
Just remember…BJ Bill will really be running things…
Reminds me of “Dumb and Dumber”

No Off shore “drilling” by Bill?
It’s good to know that the 18 cent tax magically no longer becomes an economic burden in September.
If the tax is such a problem then why did the Clinton administration pass a 4.3 cent increase (they initially wanted a nickel increase)? Back then it was a much higher percentage of the total cost of gas.
Oh right, there wasn’t a need to pander back then and the tax was recognized as the economic necessity.
Hey Rage,
I think you miss the point with your below quote:
“It is a bit much, but in her defense I’ll point out that any genuine “working class heroes” by definition do not have the money to run for president.”
Someone who is a hero to someone else does not mean they are the same — “Working class hero” - only implies that the working class believes someone is their hero.
I would be all for oil companies to drill within the USA if they do it responsibly. What promises do we have that these companies will do that? It’s not like Big Oil executives have been known for their honesty.
Hillary will be back. This time she was taken down by a voter class that wants so bad to get rid of business as usual. Obama will get dominated by GOP and be a 1-term president.
Hillary will be back.
Thank God.
The race aint over Ralphie.
Obama is a Republican in Dem clothing.
The Republican party is tearing ITSELF apart. Maybe the best time for us Dems to separate our weaker and more suspect elements. Let them go be Republicans. They already are anyway.
Obama kicked Hillary’s ass in North Carolina and is only trailing in Indiana by two percentage points - will she PLEASE give it up now.
It aint over til it’s over you for the Republican sympathizer and his supporters.
“It aint over til it’s over you for the Republican sympathizer and his supporters.”
And Hillary will destroy the Democratic Party just so she can take it to the convention and whine that Barack didn’t let her win.
Hillary and Bill are the Republican wannabes, not Obama.
Senator Clinton wins Indiana.
Not yet WS and Republican panderers! Not Yet!
Go hug a con WS. Sellout.
“Senator Clinton wins Indiana.”
By less than two percent.
Clinton loses North Carolina - by fourteen percent.
“Go hug a con WS. Sellout.”
Go phuck yourself, J R, you anti-abortion hater, right wing bozo usta-be.
I grew up WS.
You grew old. And comfy in your money. And SO willing to compromise for “hope” and “change”
“I grew up WS. - You grew old”
Excuse the Hell out of me for not dying sooner, J R.
My bad.
But you never grew up, J R, you still act like a punk on the Blog, just now you are on the “Left” instead of the Right.
But that still makes you a punk.
Hillary is Republican-lite, not Obama - witness her McCain/Clinton Holiday Gag Tax horseshit - just like the Republican nominee…..
Give it up, J R, you are a former hardcore Republican and it is in your blood - you are closer to George WMD Bush than you are to any liberal.
Ha!
And wasn’t it YOU WS who bagged on me for calling cons the enemy?
YOU call them fellow Americans.
And who has ever met you?
I apologize as you are the worst of Obama supporters.
“And who has ever met you?”
I don’t know - several thousand people?
“YOU call them fellow Americans.”
Well, damn me to Hell - I am an American - JEEEEzus freakin’ Christ - I LIKE my fellow Americans.
I should just up and die for that sin……………..
Psssssssssssssssssssssssssssstttttttttttttt…… JR, I actually LIKE and RESPECT black people.
Unlike you.
I think your posts here stand well for you and your candydate WS.
I’ll leave it at that. Except to opine that you are a liability to our “side” as it were.
Low blow WS.
Why am I not surprised?
IF Obama is the nominee, I will consider voting for the Green party.
Their nominee is Cynthia McKinney, a black woman.
Anything else kook?
“IF Obama is the nominee, I will consider voting for the Green party.”
So, you are not a REAL Democrat, right, J R?
Loser.
Well the right is reticent to denounce anyone on their side.
Me too.
But fact is? “WS”? You are a liability.
And you can rant all night like “regular” does. I’m going to bed.
Just for shits and grins, J R, tell us the difference between you and McCluer…….
Or should we just call you J R McCluer now?
“But fact is? “WS”? You are a liability.”
A liability? To whom? Idiots like you ?
Damn, thank God for something.
“Low blow WS.”
Naw, that was Monica - maybe if Hillary was more willing we would not have had to go through that whole impeachment thing.
Or maybe she just was really bad at it.
Gosh, Blue Jay and Clark were being so mean to each other! Liberals attacking Liberals, oh my!
I really can’t vote for Hillary, because of the way she supported Marc Rich that big Union BASHER!
Hillary is no friend of Unions and the working man! She supports Union BASHERS!
Now where’s that youtube video of her trying to pour a cup of coffee…..
Oh, here’s Clinton the working class hero getting defeated by a coffee machine:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=-C9bkuJliMY
Hillary Clinton can’t use a coffee maker?
(Longer more painful, and Hillarious version)
