"Senator Clinton has long been an inspiration for women everywhere," Democratic Party of Arkansas Chairman Jason Willett said. "She's a tireless fighter for women and women's rights and it's thrilling to know she'll be in Arkansas this summer to share her wisdom with Arkansas Democratic women during their state convention."

HAHAHAHA! Her man bumped nasties with an intern... and she took it. What a fucking IDIOT!

OOOooo I trust her to make a logical decision, on... anything.

Will this be Hillary Clinton or Hillary Rodham Clinton. Is this the one that served without complaint on the Board of WalMart or the one that condemns WalMart as unethical?

Is this the one from Illinois who was always a Mets fan, or was that true only when she lived in Arkansas?

You get the point. She's as full of shit as Bill, just no where near as smart.

Jason Willet---has he sobered up yet? Last time I heard him speak, he promised that Howard Dean would be touring Arkansas to support Democratic candidates. Specifically, Howard would be making the rounds in NWA.

Message to Howard---we're still waitng for you.

Hillary is such an inspiration to me. Who else would be able to become a US Senator having never held any elective office before and never having lived in the state of New York. Who else would be able to be considered a serious candidate for President of the US while having only served a partial term of one elected office and never having held an executive elected position. And she did all of this the old fashioned way---she married into it.

If Hillary were to be elected President, half of the Faux News audience would spontaneously combust. That's reason enough to hope she runs and wins.

If we combusted who would you blame for all of your problems? It is tough to be a victim if you get rid of the protaginist.

GWB--

Which would be a better scenario:

Her husband bumped nasties with an intern and she

a. reconciled the personal matter within her family and became stronger for it

or b. divorced her husband

?

...It is tough to be a victim if you get rid of the protaginist.

Exactly why the right wingers love the Clintons so much.

Whatever the problem, Bill Clinton either failed to do it so it's not Bush's fault; or the excuse is 'Clinton did it too.'

If neither of the above apply, it's 'We're at war; I'm above the law.'

You left out c. which one will be profitable to me.

Believe me....I would rather accept anything to be rid of either one of those two. You can bank on that.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

No one who incites such dislike from republican criminals and traitors can be bad.

As a member of the largest Democratic Women's Club in Arkansas (yes Benton County) we are proud to host the AFDW and excited to welcome...
the First Lady of Arkansas for 12 years
the First Lady of the U.S. for 8 years
and the Junior Senator from New York.
She deserves and earns my respect on all these levels.
And, as an example of many, unlike the good Christian follower and former Senator Tim Hutchinson who had a trist with his intern of 25 years his junior and thew his wife out in the cold, Hillary actually practiced what the bible preaches and forgave her husband. The hypocricy of the relgious right villafying Hillary for doing exactly what is mandated by the Christian relgion is simply the IYAARIOK (If you are a Republican its OK) mentality. When I die, I'm going to ask God to let me visit hell as these usual suspects, villian, liars, thiefs and heretics start arriving.

where can we buy tickets?
I have friends in Central Arkansas who want to go.

I am not surprised at the dripping venom expressed here toward Hillary. Nothing you 30 percenters do or say surprises me anymore.

Hillary is going to be a huge help to Tumey's campaign! Right?!

Hey Hillary bashers:
According to a recent news story, Hillary beats Mike
Huckabee in Arkansas if both
run for President in 2008. Go Hillary.

One of the closet held secrets in NWA is that the poltical winds are changing. The true conservatives (not the Shiites) hang nodding their heads in disgust of the thought of The Jim's (Bob/Holt) running again. The W bumper stickers are virtually gone and the business community has seen the handwriting on the wall (Governor Beebe).
If anything, NWA is the success it is because people saw trends and capitalized on them. A Democratic trend is moving into NWA, whether the Republican Party likes it or not. It'll be interesting to see if what punishment will be exacted on the "corner caucus" for their shenanigans when the capital is overflowing with Democratic constitutionals, Representatives and Senators.
I'll bet that the Clinton event in NWA will be standing room only and a huge amount of money will be raised. In fact, I'll bet that their won't be enough tickets to go around.

I live in NWA, and have to say it is getting much more difficult to find a yellow ribbon or a W bumper sticker too. They all started disappearing about the time Katrina hit, it seems.

Guess people started waking up about then...

Hillary beat Mike Huckabee.

Outside of Arkansas no one has heard of Mike. Hillary is well know nationally. In the polling business we call that name recognition.

Why can't the Clinton's, like old soldiers, just fade away? The only way the Republicans can win the next presidential election is if Hillary is the Democratic nominee.

Maybe the stickers are gone b/c all the repubs got their Walmart / vendor bonus checks and bought new cars.

Anonymous asks who but Hillary would be able to become a senator having never lived in NY and who else would be considered a serious candidate for president having served only a partial term in elective office.

Anonymous must be pretty young. The answer to both questions is Robert F. Kennedy.

Anonymous asks who but Hillary could be elected a senator havig never lived in New York and who else could be considered a serious candidate for president after serving only part of a term in elective office.

Anonymous is either pretty young or grossly undereducated in American history. The answer to both questions? Robert F. Kennedy.

Yes, but even Robert Kennedy had a real job as Attorney General under JFK and Johnson. Hardly a stellar recommendation for President but considerably more substantive than 'First Lady'. Please also remember that he was never nominated for the Presidency.

The DNC's gay problem

AMERICAblog: Because a great nation deserves the truth

It comes as no surprise that a week after an "unnamed" Democratic party official blasts the party publicly (well, as publicly as you can do it "unnamed") for the "racist" idea of letting New Hampshire and Iowa be the first two primaries for the presidency, we now have a very public letter from openly-lesbian African-American Democratic elder (well, younger elder) Donna Brazile saying pretty much the same thing.

Funny, though, that the diversity list in Donna's letter doesn't say anything about her own people, gays and lesbians. An oversight? Maybe not, especially after you read what Democratic party insider Paul Yandura had to say last week about the DNC's homophobia.

this is what Donna wrote, then read Paul's below.
Calendar Woes Ahead for Democrats
May 2, 2006
By Donna Brazile
Roll Call Staff

"The party must invest and court those voters now. We cannot wait until some presidential candidates are comfortable enough to address the concerns of these voters. The time is now. The Democrats are making significant inroads in state and local elections in the Deep South and West; these two regions are critical to the party's future if we're serious about becoming relevant again....

"There's no question that the voters of these states understand their importance in helping select the eventual nominee, and they work assiduously preparing for their personal time with the candidates, often in their living rooms, backyards, union halls or farms. And it is possible for these candidates to spend quality time in kitchens and front porches in Columbia, S.C., Tucson, Ariz., Reno, Nev., Birmingham, Ala., or Colorado Springs, Colo. The days of having a presumptive nominee emerge before a sizable (and diverse) percentage of Americans had an opportunity to participate are over.

"The DNC has made a commitment to rebuilding state and local affiliates, and this process must not end in 2008. It must continue beyond and into the future. Reaching out and selecting new, additional diverse states that include significant numbers of African Americans, Latinos and union members, among others, will require our presidential candidates to put forward a message that brings all Americans together - not just the privileged few."
And now for Paul's open letter - coincidence?
Dear Friends:

The Republicans have announced that they intend to use gay equality issues as a divisive election year tactic- AGAIN this year. Neither the DNC, nor any of the national committees (DCCC,DSCC), have a strategy to combat this hatred (unless you count avoidance as a strategy).

Dont believe me? Ask Howard, Ask Nancy, Ask Harry, Ask Rahm, Ask Chuck.

For many months a number of us have made appeals to Howard Dean and party officials to care about and defend the dignity of gay and lesbian families and friends, in the same way they defend the dignity of other key constituencies.

As the enclosed article shows, the DNC is fighting the vicious attacks being waged upon immigrants by the Republican party. Its the right thing to do and I applaud their action. Why then is it so difficult for them to do the same for us?

Why are gays and lesbians continually left to fight these battles alone? Where are our allies?

All progressives need to be asking how much has the DNC budgeted to counter the anti-gay ballot initiatives in the states. We also all need to know why the DNC and our Democratic leaders continue to allow the Republicans to use our families and friends as pawns to win elections.

We need answers to these questions. Until we get them my advice is don't give any more money to the Dems

I see that the lefties are still calling themselves 'progressives'. It must be disconcerting to have to hide from your political persuasion.
