Demonic Cackle
by terracotta
That's great! I haven't heard that before but it sure does hit the nail on the head. By the way, pal, you need to go to "Huevos R Us" before it's too late for you. Nice apron!

Not so much demonic as phoney, forced and employed as a time-buying tactic; used to appear relaxed and natural (although it achieves neither). Like everything else about this power-hungry, vicious political animal it is insincere. Fake laughter, fake tears, fake marriage, fake experience...
Maybe that "disarmingly beautiful" bit will get you a date with a surrogate Hillary, even if you're really not interested in humping your political mater.

Can you tell us what serious contender for President is not a power hungry, vicious political animal?

Of course they are, but you forget that Hillary is one of the absolute worst. The list of questionable choices, scandals, and gaffes from the Billary couple is as long (though not as serious) as those associated with Bush. She takes insincere and opportunistic to a new level. Remember the entire Sir Edmund Hillary as namesake affair? It reaks of both insincerity and sloppiness! As Hitchens so kindly pointed out, Sir Edmund didn't ascend Mt. Everest until Clinton was 6. If you can't be sincere, at least get your facts right!

The sparse support of Clinton among the young actually points to their intelligence. Most young people are actually smart enough to recognize that she shouldn't be let within 500 feet of the White House.

Thus, the support for Obama. He may be young, and relatively inexperienced, but he lacks one very important quality. Namely: he is also not universally hated. The next president REALLY needs to bring Republicans and Democrats back together. Should Hillary actually win the nomination, it will be open season on the Clintons again. All of the unresolved issues of Billary will be paraded right out in the international spotlight. While Obama may not be able to actually cause national reconciliation, it is a given that Hillary will only make the hate-fest we call politics worse. This country doesn't need any more of that.

First off, hillary is NOT hated by everony, just her oppenents. just like EVERYONE in government or out of government. also, would you rather have a person as president who doesn't know how to forgive? and would she be more credible if she was a DIVORCED woman running for office? and since when is honoring your marriage vows wrong? she said "through thick and thin, sickness and health" and she MEANT it. so stop looking at her few faults and look at what she wants for the future.

With all due respect, I don't have to like Hillary. She is a cold hearted ice bitch. I think she is a lousy candidate and a mediocre senator. Her displays of emotion are contrived and ... well... embarasing. Further, she is likely to be a disastrous president. Isn't it funny how many of those who have worked with her closely hate her as well? And there are many among the Democrats (not just the lunatic right), such as myself, who get sent into spasms.

LIke it or not, she dredges up the contention. She is not being "vilified for being a women," but rather for being a divisive public persona. Consider what she has done to people of her own party:

1) Clinton cronies suing to prohibit caucuses held at nine casino worksites when Obama was endorsed over HRC by the 60,000-strong Culinary Workers Union — followed by Bill pushing legal limits by flagrantly campaigning up to the very last minute in the actual rooms where the caucuses were being held.

2) The Clinton camp is abandoning even minimal standards of common decency by using resorting to Karl Rove style push-polling in California, just as they did in Nevada. (Hopefully, their push-poll efforts will be as effective as they were in SC).

3) Bill Clinton tried to attack his ol’ friend Ted Kennedy by linking Kennedy to Bush and the failure of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) program. Funny thing, though, Slick Willy forgot to mention that HRC also strongly supported the NCLB bill.

4) Hillary claims to have spent 35 years in public service. After law school, she did indeed go to work for a non-profit organization…and stayed for less than ONE year before joining the high-end Rose law firm in a high-paying position for FIFTEEN YEARS!

5) Hillary counts her eight years as First Lady in the White House and the years she spent as First Lady of Arkansas in her "many years of public service." Billary states that HRC was deeply involved in decision-making and policy matters. Yet, she claims that there would be no co-Presidency with Bill. Hey, Bill - are you aware of this?

Are we to believe that she would not allow Bill, who actually does have executive experience as both President and as a governor, the same access and input that she supposedly had during his administrations in both Washington and Arkansas?

6) Of course, one cannot forget the Billary race-baiting after the SC primary, nor the repeated use of Barack Obama’s middle name (Hussein) when push-polling, nor the attempted smears by Clinton surrogate and CEO of BET about Obama’s admitted mistakes during his teenage years. Hell, Hillary even trotted out Obama’s kindergarten teacher and a supposed essay he wrote when he was five as proof that he has been thinking about running for President for longer than he stated. (Frankly, I’m impressed that he was writing essays at age five - most of us were still learning how to write our letters at that age).

I can scarcely believe that the Democrats are so focused on nominating such a shitty candidate. I thought John Kerry in 2004 would take the cake, apparently, I thought wrong. It is my sincere hope Obama crushes her today. The thought of voting Republican after the past 8 years makes me physically ill.

personally, I'm glad that Hillary's win today will make you physically ill. Hoary-old Clinton-hating doofus. Glancing back up at your first sentence, I'm struck at what dirty mouths Hillary-hating men always exhibit. Why? Isn't this against Jesus?

All the energy you are spending on hating Hillary, might better be spent on researching Jackie Robinson, the women's suffrage movement in the U.S. in the 1920's, and even Christopher Columbus' resistance from fervent "flat-earthers." SUCH opposition! But, ultimately, they all defeated dunces like you.

Re: Demonic Cackle

I understand that you are rather dim witted, I will therefore speak slowly. Please ... consider ... the ... consequences. If Clinton wins the nomination, she will single handedly derail the momentum given to the Democrats by the current disaster in the White House. That is poor strategy. I would rather elect the first African American than the first woman president this time round. Someone else can make history in the future.

To compare the Clintons "struggle" to establish a political dynasty and circumvent the American Constitution to the struggles faced by Jackie Robinson, the women's suffrage movement, or Christopher Columbus is just silly. You truly have no understanding of history. Perhaps this is why you have no perspective.
