The Yellow Dog Vote


She may not have the charisma of Edwards, and she certainly doesn't inspire like Obama. But she's a woman, sort of, and that means a lot to some folks. Her campaign treasure chest is overflowing with ill-gotten yen, and her advisory panel includes a convicted criminal to whom her ersatz husband owes a favor. She is too hawkish for many pacifist liberals, and her fake cackling laugh annoys even her supporters.

But yet her nepotistic journey to the Democrat presidential nomination seems inevitable, and so it's almost nose-holding time for many on the left. Their thirst for power allows, no forces, them to vote for even the most corrupt, least experienced candidates as long as they answer to "Blue." Because some things are much more important than integrity.

Woof!

UPDATE: Woof Woof!!! (Hillary photo goldmine)

Speaking of ill-gotten yen, there was an article in our local paper about how the local Chinese small business owners are being shaken down by fellow big wigs (who some suspect are part of the Chinese Mafia) to fork over big bucks to Hill's campaign. Gives a whole new meaning to "donor," doesn't it?

Scalpel -

Well written!

The other day, I heard a piece on NPR in which Clinton's pollster, Mark Penn, commented that even many Republican women will actually vote for Clinton due to "the emotion that will come out when there's a woman nominee."

As a woman, that absolutely disgusts me. I don't want to believe that so many women would be that dumb. I mean, if you are going to vote for her, for God's sake, vote for her because of her policies (such as they are) but NOT because she has ovaries.

Something tells me that the type of woman who would vote for her because she is a woman is the type of woman who would go see "The Vagina Monologues."

Nah, I don't see women doing that.. if so... then I think one could say there will be men from her party who would vote against her because she doesn't have testicles.

Of course either way is just absurd. It's about to get really interesting in our political arena.

Interesting post Scalpel.

Yes, I agree that for any woman who would vote for her just because she is a woman there will be 2 men voting against her for the exact same reason.

Couldn't comment yesterday--not permitted at work . . .

Hillary disgusts me. I saw a t-shirt that reads "Life's a bitch; don't vote for one." Amen.

OK, gotta get to work . . . (starting at 6am today . . . yikes)

Thank you for putting a smile on my face. I needed a good chuckle.

That poor, poor dog. Does being a "bitch" actually mean a dog deserves to be associated with that "bitch"? Now about how people will vote... my fear is that some men will vote for her because she is the first woman to openly walk around with her own set of balls.

I got a kick out of what tk said - Life's a Bitch, Don't Vote for one!!!! A buddy of mine sent me a bumper sticker that said that and it is now proudly displayed on my explorer!!!! He got it at NationalBS.com.

I also got a kick out of the Hillary hecklers last week, "Iron my shirt!!!!" Anyway....
