Hillary Predicts More June Gloom

"My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California." -- Hillary Clinton, May 24, 2008Barack Obama's weird followers were predictably "outraged" when Senator Hillary sort of suggested that sometimes Democratic presidential candidates get assassinated in June, before the convention. But she was just pointing out the likelihood of terrible things always happening in, uh, June.
After all, June has traditionally been the deadliest month for politicians and pretty much everybody else, as this Top Ten List of June Horrors will illustrate. SHE'S JUST TRYING TO WARN US.
PD toolbar!
10. June 2001 -- "Hordes of crickets and grasshoppers infested more than 1.5 million acres in 18 of the state's 29 counties, causing some $25 million in crop damage." (This happened in Utah.)
9. June 18–19, 2005: There was severe flooding of the Elbow and Bow rivers. It rained the whole week! Some 1,500 people were evacuated! This supposedly happened in "Calgary, Alberta, Canada."
8. June 2007 -- Some kind of hole/crack appeared on this street, possibly in San Francisco!
7. June 5, 2004 -- Our nation's greatest president, Ronald Reagan, passed away on this day. Imagine if he had been running for the Democratic nomination for president at that time, and was way ahead in the delegate count, and Hillary was running against him, and he was black. Imagine!
6. June 2, 1987 -- On this tragic day, the National Enquirer published a photo of Gary Hart with Donna Rice on his lap, while both enjoyed an outing on a boat called "Monkey Business." This ended Hart's campaign ... well over a year before the 1988 Democratic National Convention.
5. June 19, 1865 -- Hillary's "hard-working Americans, white Americans" are angered and dismayed by the creation of the "Juneteenth" holiday, which celebrates the emancipation of America's slaves.
4. June 26, 1993 -- America's sweetheart (Lyle Lovett) marries Hollywood elitist Julia Roberts.
3. June 9, 1980 -- Richard Pryor is terribly burned while free-basing cocaine.
2. June 11, 2005 -- Parliament deputy Jyrgalbek Surabaldiev was tragically assassinated in ... uh, Kyrgyzstan.
1. June 28, 1918 -- Archduke Franz Ferdinand is assassinated in Sarajevo, which starts World War I, which is a horrible war in Europe. Imagine how much worse it would've been had Hillary dropped out in May!
She must stay in the race. June is the most dangerous month of the year! Especially around 3 a.m.

OBAMA IS A BIG LYING HYPOCRITE!
YESTERDAY LYING OBAMA CLAIMED HIS GRANDFATHER helped liberate Auschwitz. Today it was his great-uncle liberating Buchwald.
By tomorrow Obama will be claiming his grandmother saved America from Russian invasion. LOLOLOL
Can you say 'sniper fire lying hypocrites?'
CLINTON or MCCAIN '08
America Needs A President, Not A Swift Boating Hypocrite

They are telling Hillary supporters to write Hillarys name in.
But this is a big mistake because a write-in vote for Hillary will go to the democratic nominee it won't get Hillary elected or do anything for our goal to prevent obbammer from becoming president.

~~~ NATIONAL DEMOCRAT PARTY RULES ~~~
In the current Presidential primary campaign, as in the Electoral College, the “popular vote” has no official significance.
According to the Party’s rules, the nomination will go to whoever can garner a majority of the delegates at the Convention in Denver, regardless of how many voters or caucus-goers sent them there, or didn’t.
The so-called superdelegates, who make up a fifth of the Convention, represent voters only in the highly attenuated sense of having earlier won public or party office.
The popular vote is juridically meaningless. The superdelegates understand this.
That’s why it has been clear all along that if one of the candidates is able to claim an indisputable majority of actual flesh-and-blood Democrats it will be difficult to deny him—or her—the nomination.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Please Note..The RULES puts a kabosh on the flimsy
popular vote arguement and renders it useless.

What is a Wonkette? Sounds like one of those old blow up "Judy" dolls to me. You know. The ones that guys with no money used to buy because they couldn't afford to pay a prostitute.

Dear SUPER delegates,
As super-delegates, your primary responsibility would be to make sure
the DNC wins the election. Here are some serious facts to consider.
Sen. Obama, has only managed to win caucuses of "red states" which
everyone knows are Republican states, and they had lots of "cross
overs". He couldn't even snatch one blue state, therefore he could
never win the electoral college in November. This is a very serious
consideration. Sen. Obama is counting on Teddy Kennedy to rally the delegates
in his favor and "calling in all his markers" to push Obamas nomination.
Sen. Hillary Clinton on the other hand is the most viable and electable candidate for President. We the people are behind her all the way. Hillary WON ALL THE BLUE STATES, ALL THE SWING STATES; Hillary also won the MOST votes ever in history. (count MI and FL votes) those American people will be voting in November and hit back hard if you deny their rights.
Sen Clinton wins the ELECTORAL COLLEGE by a healthy margin over Sen. McCain (according to all the polls) Hillary can win the election in November, whereas, Sen. Obama is trailing behind McCain. Sen. Hillary Clinton will go to the Convention, to make a very strong case for her nomination by the Democratic Party and we are with
her all the way. Hillary is the best. The people love Hillary.
Hillary is winning the peoples votes, by her own intelligence, stamina, brilliance, and electability. Hillary is strong, and resilient, wise, and incredibly viable. SHE IS A LEADER AND WE THE PEOPLE LOVE HILLARY. We want Hillary. We will NOT vote for Obama. Should the junior rookie Obama get the nomination, we will vote for McCain in November.
GO HILLARY WE ARE WITH YOU ALL THE WAY.
TAKE IT TO THE CONVENTION.

Next June, Clinton can set up her Wax Museum and take up donations as Bill Clinton's Library did. Should get enough to pay of her huge campaign debts. Time she admits that her ass has been waxed.

JOHN McCAIN served our country and was loyal to his fellow prisoners during his time in prison during the Vietnam war.
McCain’s age does not bother me. I’LL TAKE McCAIN’S “EXPERIENCE and INTEGRITY” OVER OBAMA’S “LIES AND TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICANS” ANY DAY!
FACTS about MICHIGAN and FLORIDA:
What is the most important right granted to U.S. citizens? THE RIGHT TO VOTE!!!
OBAMA AND A GROUP OF POLITICIANS ARE TAKING THIS “RIGHT” AWAY FROM MILLIONS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN!!!
Obama took his own name OFF the ballot in Michigan. Now he is crying wwwaaa…. don’t count the votes of Michigan because his name was not on the ballot???
Obama CAMPAIGNED and ran ads in FLORIDA. Obama is the only candidate who campaigned. His name was on the ballot. The people voted overwhelmingly for Hillary and Obama LOST. He doesn’t like it. COUNT FLORIDA’S VOTES!!!
James Carville and another millionaire Rendell OFFERED TO PAY FOR A RE-VOTE in both states, but the OBAMA camp refused because they will LOSE big time.
THERE IS TIME TO RE-VOTE. Michigan has an election scheduled in August — add Hillary and Obama to the ticket and count the votes!
The DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION is on August 23, and we have enough time to either re-vote, or to count the existing votes in its entirety, exactly the way they were cast by the American people.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, KEEP OUR FREEDOMS, OUR RIGHTS, AND THE VOICE OF THE “PEOPLE” — not the voice of the “delegates”.
OBAMA HAS TOLD TOO MANY LIES. NO OBAMA!
HILLARY AND McCAIN HAVE THE "EXPERIENCE" NECESSARY TO LEAD OUR COUNTRY.
VOTE COUNTRY --- NOT PARTY!

Actually I am a full fledged Obama supporter, just thought I would slip the tidbit in for the Clinton batch being they are so gung-ho over writing in someone who has not filed as a write-in and legally can not. Maybe they should have spoke with their darling first. Not that it matters. The law is still the law. Personally, I hope they do write Hillary in. the jerks that bash Obama need to lose their votes. I think they take directions from their Cherrios. Snap, Crackle and Pop. BNF!

The month of June 2007 may well go down as one of the worst of the Bush presidency.
It was the month the wheels fell off, when the curtain was drawn aside to reveal that the great and mighty wizard was none other than Dick Cheney, when party loyalists began publicly to give up on the administration. It was a month when nothing seemed to go right for the president
