In his latest eruption of idiocy, Bill Clinton says of his wife Hillary, “She and John McCain are very close. They always laugh that if they wind up being the nominees of their parties, it would be the most civilized election in American history and probably put the voters to sleep.”
Ha. Ha. Ha… What?!?
Since when would it be a good thing to put the voters to sleep?
This statement by Bill Clinton is doing Hillary Clinton no favors. It exhibits everything that’s wrong with the Hillary Clinton campaign. As a senator, Hillary Clinton has made cozy allegiances with Republicans, and voted along with them to advance their agenda.
Hillary Clinton has become “very close” with John McCain, and will be civilized if she runs against him for President, but she treats Barack Obama like a dog, with robocalls that slur “Barack Hussein Obama”.
Why the hell would Democrats want a presidential nominee who treats Republicans with kid gloves, but attacks fellow Democrats with savagery?
Bill Clinton’s comment is also a not very subtle warning to the activist progressive Democratic grassroots: The Clintons will run a “civilized” campaign, which means that the backbone gets thrown out the window. Uppity grassroots Democrats who demand strong action against the Republicans will not be tolerated. Progressives will be shut out of the process. This confirms my suspicion that Bill Clinton is determined to keep new Democratic voters out of power.
Hey, if you want a Democratic presidential nominee who will go soft on the Republican agenda, and follow the Joseph Lieberman path of giving a big hug John McCain and his plans for an American presence in Iraq of 50 years, then Hillary Clinton is a good pick for you.
If you want a Democratic presidential nominee who will actually represent Democrats, then you’ll need to vote for someone else.
As for myself, let me make this clear, Bill Clinton: This Democrat will not go to sleep.

What makes you think Hillary is making those phone calls? Do you have any proof?
Maybe someone allied, say, with racial supremacists-Ron Paul?–is doing it. Or maybe even someone allied with Obama who knows they will trigger a sympathy vote.

You think it’s okay, then, for the Clintons to try to put the voters back to sleep? Those are Bill Clinton’s words, Iroquois!

I repeat, you stated the following about Hillary Clinton:
This is a serious charge you have made against a presidential candidate. Where is your proof? You can print in SHOUTING CAPS AND LARGE FONTS all you want, but that doesn’t prove anything. Obama is the one who benefits the most from these things. Are you part of the Obama surrogate dirty tricks brigade?
I repeat, where is your proof that Hillary Clinton is behind any push polls?
