CLINTON MISSTATEMENTS MAY DESTROY CAMPAIGN, LEGACY

Hey y'all, I found this on a blog at the RP. I actually know the gal that wrote it. I never met her, but she did give me some background info on Eli Manning by computer letter during my short stint with the Redneck Press. She seemed real nice.

Clinton "Misstatements" May Destroy Campaign, Legacy

In a week filled with goof-ups by both the Clinton, and Obama campaigns, you would think that the stumbling might take a Spring Break in Gulf Shores. Not yet folks...y'all hold your horses!

On Monday, New York Senator, and Democrat presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made a domestic policy speech in Philadelphia in which not one lie was spouted by the old girl. At times the crowd seemed stunned, yet in great hopes that at least one lie would come out of Keg-leg's pie hole before the rally was over.

In a 45 minute speech entitled "Let's Be Honest," Clinton talked about a bunch of issues before a truly dropped-jaw audience.

On health care, Clinton proposed mandatory government issued health insurance, regardless of age. "Let's be honest," she said, "the federal government can do a better job of insuring your family than some huge profit-hungry insurance company." She continued, "We can do this at a low cost to every American. This is a tough problem, and it will take strong medicine. We will have to conscript doctors and nurses. We will have to seize hospitals and medical clinics. We will have to require companies to pay premiums for their employees, and self-employed people will be required to pay their fair share to the throne...I mean, the government."

On Social Security Clinton said, "Let's be honest. Social Security is in deep trouble. In just one decade, it will require that three workers pay for the benefits of one recipient. In two decades, it will require that two workers pay for one recipient. Social Security is in trouble. So, I propose that we start now!" To faint clapping, Hillary told the ever smaller crowd, "It will be a haaarrrd fight, but we must increase social security taxes now!!!! The social security tax must double immediately, and then over 20 years must triple. If we do that, it won't take nearly as few workers to pay for each recipient."

Clinton wrapped up her Keystone State tour with her weakest performance in weeks. There was polite applause at times, but the few left in the crowd at the end of the speech went away (many shaking their heads) pretty well confused.

Martin Kofer, a machinist from Allentown (sporting an "I'm Union, and I'm for Hillary" button) said, "I took the day off from work. I lied to my boss. I called in sick to come to this rally. I was expecting at least one good lie from Hillary. I mean, it's like, I wanted to actually "be there" to see it live before it showed up on YouTube, or on Drudge. But she goes out there and lays out the truth! Heck, I was looking for another good war story, or for her to two-step around cattle futures or something! It really shakes my faith in politics." When asked if he would still vote for Clinton in the upcoming Pennsylvania Primary, Kofer said, "I don't know. I've got to ask my shop steward what to do now."

Y'all, I really think that the old gal has messed in her own doghouse. The reactions from Democrats to the truth of domestic situations has left most of her supporters dumbfumbled. My first thought was that "It's over for her. Isn't she smart enough to know that girls have to tell a little white lie every so often to 'influence' a situation?" I guess she's not only given up being a woman...she's given up acting like one too!

So after Hillary came clean yesterday and started telling the full truth about her agenda, I dug deeper. I called Democrat political adviser, and long-time Clinton supporter James Carville. (I met him once at a LSU/Ole Miss game, and made a good impression, so he always answers my calls.) I asked Jimbo, "What do you make of Hillary Clinton giving a whole speech without telling one single lie, or hiding her agenda?"

Carville answered, "It don't mean nuthin'! It don't mean nuthin'! Hell, everybody has a bad day every once in awhile. Hilry's human. Come on Joy Dawn, ain't you never told the truth when you were worn out? A political campaign is a long, tough marathon race." He went on, "It even happens to me. Dangit, I told Mary da truth this morning about somethin'. I was tired...I hadn't had my second cup of Community yet. Hilry misspoke. Her nerve pills kicked in too early in the day. She's having that time of the month. Don't think for one Minnesota second that this is gonna last! Hilry will be back at the top of her game before you can say 'that miserable excuse for a friend Bill Richardson is Judas'."

I thanked Jimbo for his comments, and gave him my new cell phone number. I really like his wife. She seems like too nice a lady to (well never mind, that's a private matter).

I think that Mrs. Clinton has just blown her chances to Hades, and probably destroyed the Clinton legacy at the same time. I mean, growing up here in Mississippi it was just understood that Clintons are liars. Everybody knows it. When the old gal jumped the fence into truth, it disappointed a lot of folks.

It's almost like finding out that Strom Thurman had a black "love child", or that Eli Manning takes steroid pills. I think this might even destroy the Clinton legacy. She might be able to redeem herself (as a politician, a Clinton, and a woman) after she gets some rest. I mean, that poor gal has been on her feet way too long lately. Her ankles look like Sandy Berger stuffed a bunch of papers down her stockings. I'll keep two sharp eyes on it and let y'all know. Love y'all!
