Ooohhh…egalia, “republican site”…I’ve been mortally insulted!

(no, I didn’t use the term Hildebeast, a commenter did)

My comment was a “tongue in cheek” remark which was supposed to make the following point: in the general election, the Republicans will try to paint the Democrat as being “soft on terror” and “Hildebeast” is NOT a soft name; it might well be seen as favorable among some of the male independents (“hey, that Hillary IS tough enough to be President! Maybe I’ll vote for her!”)

Make no mistake about this: I back Obama. I have given his campaign money, worn Obama shirts (and will continue to do so), gone to Obama events, etc.

But, I see Senator Clinton as smart, capable and competent, and if she wins the nomination (and, yes, she is the favorite), I’ll help her in any way that I can in the general election. I think that she’ll make a good president, and is a quantum improvement over the idiot that we currently have.

Hildebeast? Hmm, I didn’t think this was a Republican site. Am I wrong?

Actually, the nickname “Hildebeast” might not hurt her in the general election; after all, who better to protect us?

That is so cruel calling someone a name like Hildebeast…what is with all you mean spirited people? Stick to issues and not stupid name calling.
On another subject I was shocked to see that a young top notch elite runner named Ryan Shay died in the Olympic marathon trials. Guess you never know what’s going to happen.

Obama all the way, seven (will be eight) years of George W. Bush does NOT need to be topped off with another few years of hell coming from the “Hildebeast”. And I’m not even American.
