"...And All I Got Was This Lousy Pantsuit."

Why is Hillary Clinton's campaign debt still an issue? She spent more than she had, she bought stuff that she couldn't afford, and she did it out of spite – She deserves to be in debt.

Most of the time that she was saying she was being "out-spent" by her opponent, she was lying. She wasn't being "out-spent," she was being "out-raised."
She spent just as much as Barack Obama, and all in an effort to damage Obama. Her spending $30 million, cost Obama $30 million, so in essence she cost Democratic Party contributors an unnecessary $60 million dollars.

And where are these "18 million supporters" of hers? Do you realize that these "18 million supporters" of Hillary Clinton support her less than they regularly support a homeless person? If these "18 million supporters" thought Hillary's existence was worth merely the spare change in their pockets, she wouldn't have any debt.

The fact that Hillary still has a campaign debt means that there aren't 20 million people in this country who care $1 for her...which is fine - I say let the real world happen. Let Hillary have to start screening her calls because pestering bill collectors are calling at all hours. Maybe one will call at 3am.

"Time to Decompress"???

Barack Obama finally reached the magic number of primary delegates necessary for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination yet Hillary Clinton still refuses to concede or even explain her campaign's immediate objectives. And now she, (and the Right), are justifying her current stalling by saying that she can't make any decisions right now because she "needs time to decompress."

Really? "Time to decompress"? Are you kidding me?!!! For the past three months, even though she was all but mathematically eliminated, Hillary has been shouting at whoever will listen that she is the better presidential candidate yet now it's okay that she is without the capacity to make any decisions because she "needs time to decompress"?

Can you imagine FDR, JFK, or even Bill Clinton ever saying that he can't make any decisions right now because he "needs time to decompress"?

Picture George W. Bush explaining that he can't answer any questions about Scott McClellan's book because the past seven years have been very strenuous, and he has terribly mismanaged an unnecessary war, and his administration is involved in numerous scandals, and he really just "needs time to decompress."

The truth is, Hillary is such a narcissist that she needs to make it look like Barack's winning is her decision. She is such a control freak that she needs to be in charge, not Barack Obama, not the American voters, not the democratic process or even arithmetic, she, Hillary Clinton, is responsible for Barack Obama winning the Democratic Primary. And the irony is, she is responsible for Barack Obama winning.

She isn't as powerful as she thinks, she is as divisive, petty, and dishonest as the Right Wing Media said she was (before they magically (strategically) started praising her as the greatest thing since sliced bread), and honestly, she might be the only Democrat that the Republicans can beat this fall. Like Karl Rove said, her negative rating is too high for her to win a nation-wide election, and, as an extreme moderate and very liberal conservative Independent, I hope she just goes away so that America can get excited about positive politics again.

But, then again, I'm not an uneducated, hard-working white voter so obviously I'm gender-biased,

What If She's Right?

Kids, it's that time again...Time for another episode of..."What if She's Right?"

In emails, speeches, and to the media ad nauseam, Hillary Clinton and her team say that she has received "more votes than any candidate...in the history of the Democratic Party..."

Yes, she spent more money to campaign in more primaries, arguably unopposed, than any other candidate in history, and what about caucus votes, but still...what if she's right? Wouldn't that mean that Hillary Clinton, the lady who received more primary votes than any other candidate in the history of the Democratic Party yet still couldn't get enough delegates to win the nomination, is the biggest failure in the history of the Democratic Party?

Next time on "What If She's Right?" Sean Hannity and the "most radical elements in American society..."

The Truth Is...

Welcome to another installment of "The Truth Is..."

Hillary Clinton says that her staying in the Democratic primary isn't hurting the Democrats' chances in the general election and that she is the better presidential candidate...

The truth is...Here on Earth, giving an opponent a three month head start is bad. Not only is Hillary hampering the DNC's ability to raise money because they don't have a candidate yet, but she is giving John McCain, a 72 year-old man who "misspeaks" when he is tired, over three months to rest. If Hillary doesn't think she is hampering the Democrats' chances in the fall she is either wrong or lying...again.

The truth is...Barack Obama is the better presidential candidate because, though half of the people in this country might not vote for Barack, half of the people in this country will definitely vote against Hillary.

There isn't a more polarizing political figure than Hillary Clinton. Even if she was just running for the local school board, nobody on the Right will stay home if Hillary Clinton is on the ballot. And it's not just the Right, there are Independents and Democrats who absolutely despise the lady. Hillary rubs people the wrong way, she always has, and it's not just because she's a woman, (but it is partly because she says it's just because she's a woman). Hillary is one of these people that cause strangers' intuition to say "careful with this one." They don't know why, they don't have evidence to support their gut feeling, but they have an instinct. And for the people who had this inkling but were evolved enough to not prejudge, her presidential campaign has only confirmed their deepest suspicions.

The truth is...The majority of Americans know that had any other Democratic candidate won the primaries in Florida and Michigan, Florida and Michigan wouldn't have been an issue.

The truth is...Had Obama made the "sniper fire" claims, his campaign would have been over in less than a week because Obama supporters would not stand for a dishonest candidate, (which is why they're Obama supporters).

The truth is...Hillary Clinton lost the Democratic primary three months ago. And, whether she lost because of a terrible campaign strategy, whether she lost because of gender bias, or whether she lost because of a "disrespectful" media, the truth is...She lost!

But what is most troubling to Obama supporters, and reinforcing to Hillary haters, is that since losing, Hillary has embarked on a campaign to make sure that no Democrat will become president in 2008.

Maybe Hillary hopes that John McCain's head start is insurmountable, but luckily, the truth is...before the primaries started, most people thought Hillary's lead was insurmountable too.
