Vote for Hillary Online offering cash for inside gossip

Alright here's the deal: We here at Vote for Hillary Online have been receiving a lot of e-mails over the past 24 hours with all sorts of rumors, hot tips, and inside gossip. Problem is, none of them are substantiated as of yet. We need someone from inside the Hillary Clinton campaign to confirm that she is in fact going to drop out in 2 days. Oops, did I just let that out? Yup, rumor has it, she will drop out on Saturday. But we need proof. So if you're in the campaign, spill the beans! We're offering cold hard cash for insider information.

Hillary Clinton sent us an e-mail today begging for money

Good lord people. We were up all night long in talks with supposed insiders, trying to get some details on the rumor that we're on top of. We have more information, but we're trying to confirm sources at this time.

What's odd though is at the same time we're learning of this rumor that she's quitting the race, Hillary Clinton is begging us for money.

Hey Hillary: It's over. Quit spamming our e-mail. We've heard the rumors about you quitting the race, think you're going to pull a fast one on us? We'd be better off flushing our hard earned dollars down the toilet than sending it to your campaign.

From the Rumorville: Hillary Clinton will quit the race!

Note: this has not yet been confirmed and is just a rumor at this point. But Vote for Hillary Online has just received an anonymous tip that Hillary Clinton will be stepping out of the race. We will continue to update with details as they come through. Again, this is just a rumor at this point. Stay tuned.

Bill Clinton needs to get back on the campaign trail

Folks, we're entering some difficult times as of late because of problems with the Hillary campaign's management. It is very unfortunate that the one candidate that can give hope to America once again has the most incompetent staff of all the campaigns. We need to get Bill Clinton back on the campaign trail. Where is he? Yes we have Hillary's mother and Chelsea out there with her, but they simply don't have the star power that Bill Clinton has. Let's face it - without Bill, Hillary is nothing. He is her biggest asset. So to keep him hidden in the closet during this very important part of the presidential race is beyond stupid.

Today I received an e-mail from Bill Clinton practically begging for money. I really hope this e-mail didn't go out to very many people, because it just reeks of desperation.

Dear VFHO,

It's one thing to have good intentions, another thing altogether to change the reality of people's lives. Hillary has been changing people's lives for as long as I've known her.

She did it in Arkansas when she made major improvements to our schools. She did it in the aftermath of September 11, when she helped first responders get the medical care they needed. She's done it in the U.S. Senate, where she has worked to make sure we fulfill our promises to our troops, veterans, and their families.

She has never let setbacks stop her. When our health care reforms didn't pass in the 90's, she rolled up her sleeves and got right back to work on the Children's Health Insurance Program, which insures six million kids in America today.

That's Hillary, the best combination of heart and mind, of leadership ability and feel for the problems of other people I've ever known. She's also our best candidate to beat the Republicans for one reason: because she would make the best president. She's got great plans for universal health care, good jobs, access to college, ending the war in Iraq, and restoring America's position in the world; and she's been tested in the kind of campaign they always run.

Now Hillary needs your help as 2007 comes to a close. We're just $212,374 from reaching our fundraising goal this week, and Hillary needs her online supporters to make it over the top. Will you make a contribution for Hillary today?

Make a contribution and help Hillary today.

You know, even if I weren't married to Hillary, I would still be enthusiastically supporting her. Her experience, her compassion, and her great ideas for the future make her the right candidate.

America is ready for change. After seven years of failed policies, it's time for a new beginning, led by someone who has spent her life making a difference for others.

If you want to know the kind of changes she'll make for you, you only have to look at what she's already accomplished for others for 35 years.

Let's help Hillary show her strength at this critical moment. We're just $212,374 from our weekly goal; help put our campaign over the top.

Contribute today to help Hillary show her strength.

Thank you so much for all you do to help Hillary, so she can do what she does best: get to work and help others.

Sincerely,

Bill Clinton

Why do we have Bill Clinton in charge of sending e-mails? Again, he is the most important part of Hillary's campaign and should be out front and center. The campaign is dropping the ball and I'll be damned if I'm just going to sit by the sidelines and watch what chance we had crumble away. Please contact the campaign and let them know how you feel. I've been trying to get on the phone with them all day but apparently their staff is too busy sending out desperate e-mails begging for money. What happened to the hope, the passion, the message of peace and prosperity? I hate to be negative here folks but the fire that was once lit inside my soul is slowly being put out by the incompetency I have been witnessing day after day. I do have a glimmer of hope left though because it is not too late, if the campaign makes some changes and they make them right now. But the primaries are right around the corner and we need to get our act together.

For now, we need you all to keep up with the mission: restroom grassroots campaign. Apparently we can't count on the campaign to promote Hillary so we'll have to do all the work ourselves. I think now would be a good time to refer back to the Grassroots Hillary Oath - feel free to print that off if you haven't already.

Bob Nash needs to be fired immediately

We have been calling for some time now for Hillary's campaign managers to get their act together. Well enough is enough and today we're calling for Deputy Campaign Manager Bob Nash to be fired immediately. Apparently he's been sending around e-mails to members of the media, trying to get dirt on Barack Obama. Well not everyone in the media is on board with Hillary and some of them have released these e-mails to the public, making Hillary's campaign look unprofessional. Just how stupid can you get?

From nytimes.com:

The deputy campaign manager is Bob Nash, who served as White House personnel director in the Clinton administration. In March, Mr. Nash left his position as vice chairman of Chicago ShoreBank to join Mrs. Clinton’s campaign.

Here is the text of his e-mail, with the addresses redacted:

From: Bob Nash

Mr. Nash, 59, did not respond to an e-mail request seeking comment. A campaign official said he was unaware of the matter, but would look into it.

It's time to Smash the Nash, folks. This guy is about as dumb as a box of rocks and is the last guy you'd want to have anything to do with your campaign. Now that I think back to all the incompetence I've been seeing lately with Hillary's campaign, I'm willing to bet that it all stemmed from this worthless piece of s**** Bob Nash. I'm sorry folks, I hate to be rude. But Hillary is our only chance to take back America and I'll be damned if some clueless jackass like Bob Nash is going to ruin our chances - everything we've worked so hard for. We better get some talent in the ranks and we better get it right now. We've got the grassroots supporters donating, putting bumper stickers in bathrooms all across the country, reading the oath 10 times a day - we're doing our part. The official campaign needs to do theirs. I have absolutely had it with the shenanigans. It is the position of Vote for Hillary Online that if Bob Nash is not fired within 24 hours, we will withdraw ALL support for Hillary and give it to someone that is more deserving.

Click here to contact the campaign and let your voice be heard. Bob Nash is all that is wrong with the Hillary campaign and if he is not fired immediately, expect more disasters like this in the future.

Hillary Campaign Drops Celine Dion Song

Folks, we have been infiltrated, that is the only way to explain the absolute incompetence of Hillary's campaign managers. I'm not sure who exactly on the staff is making some of these terrible decisions, but they need to be fired and they need to be fired immediately. If you'll recall, the official campaign asked Hillary's thousands of supporters to submit songs that would be effective as Hillary's campaign theme music. Celine Dion's song "You and I" was chosen overwhelmingly and it is the position of Vote for Hillary Online that it was the perfect song for Hillary's campaign as the lyrics went perfectly with the theme of bringing hope back to America.

Here are the lyrics so you can see for yourself:

High above the mountains, far across the sea
I can hear your voice calling out to me
Brighter than the sun and darker than the night
I can see your love shining like a light
And on and on this earth spins like a carousel
If I could travel across the world
The secrets I would tell

Chorus:
You and I
Were meant to fly
Higher than the clouds
We'll sail across the sky
So come with me
And you will feel
That we're soaring
That we're floating up so high
Cause you and I were meant to fly

Sailing like a bird high on the wings of love
Take me higher than all the stars above
I'm burning, yearning
Gently turning round and round
I'm always rising up I never
Want to come back down

Chorus x2

You and I were meant to fly

When we first heard that this was going to be Hillary's campaign song, we were ecstatic because Celine has a way with words like no one else, and this song drives chills up and down my spine every time I hear it. The music is absolutely beautiful, and arouses emotions inside that I didn't even know I had. Imagine my disgust and absolute bewilderment when I read that the campaign has decided to drop the song, going against what Hillary supporters had voted for. Maybe they need to go back and learn what a democracy is. Hillary is our only hope to take back America and I'm not going to stand by and watch her campaign manager ruin all of our chances for hope.

We are calling on every single one of you to make your voice heard to the Clinton campaign. Maybe they didn't think we'd notice, maybe they thought the votes for Celine's song were fraudulent - who knows. But what they have done has completely alienated Hillary's core supporters. The ones who are putting their blood sweat and tears into promoting the message and ensuring Hillary's election. Click here to contact the campaign. We will not let them get away with this.

Oprah Campaigns with Obama: Whoopty Freakin Do

Possibly the most over-hyped useless event in history, Oprah will be giving a speech with Barack Obama at the Williams-Brice Stadium in South Carolina. The media is making a huge spectacle about this, and if you got all your information from cable news, you'd think it was the most important thing going on in the world. The fact is, if a presidential candidate needs Oprah in order to convince people to vote for them, that shows that they cannot get elected based upon their own merits alone. What's funny is that I don't see Oprah even doing much to sway voters one way or the other, and even has the potential to turn people off.

Obama running on his own merits: not electable.
Obama running on his own merits and the help of Oprah: still not electable.

Obama is simply not presidential material; he could have all the endorsements in the world, but it would not change the fact that he is simply unqualified. What makes me mad though is that this is a huge distraction for the people. It gets the American people thinking maybe there is a better alternative to Hillary. They get lured in, they waste their time going to a stadium to hear him speak. And then they come home confused, demoralized, and betrayed. The candidate with the most experience, integrity, and real ideas for America's future is Hillary Clinton. No endorsements or lack thereof will have any effect on this fact. If anything good can come out of this, it will be that after hearing this catastrophe of a speech by Obama and Oprah, the people will realized that they have been conned into believing that Obama offered any real solutions. When reality sets in, the only answer will be to vote for Hillary.

Hillary Clinton gets huge endorsement: Gennifer Flowers

Newsflash: Gennifer Flowers has just endorsed Hillary Clinton for President of the United States. Yes, THE Gennifer Flowers that Bill Clinton had an affair with many years ago in Arkansas. This is big news because for quite some time there had been growing animosity between Hillary Clinton and Gennifer Flowers over their love for the same man. The fact that Flowers can put all those petty disputes behind her and still realize that Hillary is our only hope for America simply shows how strong of a candidate Hillary is. If your past enemies come out to support you, you must be doing something right.

From newsday.com:

"I can't help but want to support my own gender, and she's as experienced as any of the others -- except maybe Joe Biden," the lounge singer told The Associated Press Thursday in an interview at her Las Vegas home.

Flowers, 57, claims to be undecided, but like Clinton she's a feminist and an impassioned believer in abortion rights. "I would love to see a woman president; I just didn't think it would be her," Flowers added.

Honestly, we don't really know where Hillary stands on women's rights issues, but if the simple fact that she's a woman brings in a lot more voters, we're not going to complain. Chalk this up as yet another victory for the Clinton Campaign.

The opposition has stooped to a new low: the Hillary Nutcracker

They couldn't debate her on the issues. They couldn't question her on experience. Her whole life has been out in the public for everyone to scrutinize and they were unable to find any dirt. So what have they resorted to?

I was doing some research this morning and came across this website selling Hillary Clinton Nutcrackers. Apparently the most important presidential election in history is something to make a mockery of. Maybe the American people really are that stupid that choosing a candidate based upon their principles is too difficult and smears like this are more easily digested. I sincerely hope not - I am optimistic, but it's things like this that make me seriously doubt the sanity of some of my fellow Americans. This wouldn't be such a big deal if it was just one guy and a silly website, but I have seen this Hillary Nutcracker reported on from numerous sources, and not one has taken the time to condemn these childish acts.

We are in the process right now of getting this product taken off the market. I urge all of you to contact the makers of this despicable smear attempt and let them know how you feel.

Grassroots Hillary. Mission: Restroom

We're constantly thinking of new ideas for the grassroots Hillary campaign in order to give you all a way to get involved without having to invest much time and effort. This past Sunday we got an e-mail from Frank Bremmer with a great idea to spread the word:

Hey VFHO,

First of all, thanks for all that you're doing to help ensure Hillary Clinton's election in 2008. I've never been involved in politics my whole life and it's a good feeling to be involved in something I can be proud of. It's unfortunate that you all had to call off the bumper sticker campaign but I thought of an idea last night that I thought I'd run across you guys. What if we took all the bumper stickers we have left over and put them on the walls and stalls of public restrooms? We could also leave a few pamphlets of information outlying Hillary's proposals next to the sink. It's not too often I see advertising in a restroom, so I really think it would stick out. What do you think?

-Frankie B.

Three words Frank, we love it! I have to admit, when I first read your e-mail I thought it sounded a little tacky. It didn't sound very presidential to be campaigning in public restrooms. But after sleeping on this for a few nights, I've come to the conclusion that this is one of the most genius ideas ever proposed. The key to this tactic is that it's a grassroots effort. We're not paid to promote Hillary on her behalf, we do this because we strongly believe in her candidacy. And by God we're going to do whatever it takes to spread the word about Hillary Clinton.

We are officially starting the Mission: Restroom campaign. Most of you probably have plenty of bumper stickers leftover from the previous campaign, and those of you that don't can simply log on to the official Hillary Clinton campaign website to order more. What we are going to do is plaster Hillary Clinton bumper stickers in restrooms all across the United States. If we all do our part, it will be almost impossible for someone to go to the bathroom without thinking about Hillary Clinton. We want them on the main walls, the inside of the stalls, and on the sink counters. No opportunity should be missed to get the word out.

A few things to go over for this mission:

• Any public restroom is fair game. If anyone of the public has access to a particular restroom, by all means sticker it up.
• Private locations with limited access to the outside public should be skipped over, unless you happen to work there. We don't need anyone getting arrested for trespassing.
  
• Do not place stickers in the restroom in the presence of other people. You're going to get a lot of weird stares, and people will probably just remove the stickers as soon as they see you leave. If you enter a crowded bathroom, simply wait in a stall until the coast is clear.
• Do not, under any circumstances, place a bumper sticker anywhere on a toilet. The reason a restroom is a good place to campaign is because it is frequented so often, but we don't need to be associating a toilet with Hillary Clinton.
• If you can, leave a few Hillary pamphlets by the sink so that people who become curious by the stickers have a chance to take a closer look into what she stands for.
• Last but not least: have fun. If we're not having fun out there, our efforts will start to get tiring pretty quickly. We recommend doing this with a friend.

Let's try to make it so there is no possible way a person could NOT run into a Hillary Clinton sticker within a week's time span. The primaries are approaching very quickly and time is of the essence. The best part about all this? It's absolutely free advertising, besides the mere cost of the stickers. This is 100 times more effective than any million dollar ad campaign. Let's make Hillary proud. I guarantee you that if we all do our part, Hillary Clinton will win this election by an absolute landslide and the opposition won't know what hit 'em.

Click here to get a free bumper sticker from the official campaign. They don't sell these in bulk so we recommend filling out your information and reloading the page as many times as you need stickers.

The Clintons bring everyone together

Every day now it seems like the other candidates are giving speeches, sending out press releases, and speaking at debates about how they will get their party back to its principles and show their base that they are the extreme Democrat or Republican. You got people like Dennis Kucinich that hopes to rally the liberal base with socialist ideals, and you have Ron Paul that attempts to rally the extreme right wing base with anarchist philosophies. Now, neither of these 2 candidates really stand a chance, but these are the directions that the parties seem to be going in. This unwillingness to compromise on issues is great in theory, but the reality is, politics is all about negotiation. You have to give a little to take a little.

The last president to fully understand this concept was Bill Clinton. He understood that sticking to the principles of the democratic base locks you in a corner with no wiggle room to work out deals that could work in your favor. Everyone loves to criticize politicians for flip flopping or endorsing policies that seem to conflict with what they stand for, but people have got to understand that politics is all a big game. And if you refuse to play the game correctly and you instead stand by a list of ideals that don't resonate with middle America, then you aren't going to be very successful. This is the reality, and this is the way it's always been and always will be.

Bush was able to market himself on this ability of meeting both sides in the middle, and that's how he got elected. But once he was elected, he betrayed the people by refusing to work with those of opposing views. Above all else, this is precisely the reason why Bush's poll numbers are so low. He tried to be everything-republican. His way or the highway. Believe me, history will not remember him in a good light.

That's why at this time more than ever, we need someone that isn't so stuck and stubborn in their narrow ideologies. We need someone who is flexible and understands that a good President has to work with both parties and consider all ideas. The American people's needs and wants are constantly changing, and a good leader needs to be flexible to adapt to that change. This is why we need someone like Hillary Clinton in the White house. A good representative of any group is someone who doesn't let their own personal views get in the way of carrying out what the people want. From what I can tell, Hillary Clinton doesn't really have deep personal views, so this conflict between leader and the people won't even be a factor.

MSNBC touched on this a little bit in an article entitled "Bill Touts Hillary's Work With GOP":

Today in New Hampshire, her husband noted the ways she’s worked with the opposite party, including a would-be rival. And he argued that more attention needs to be paid to candidates’ records and not to "pure politics."

“I argue to you based on a lifetime of experience that if you have spent as my wife has 35 years ... being a positive change maker, that indicates that you would be more likely to successfully execute change as president. If you have proved in the U.S. Senate that you could get things done with Republicans as well as Democrats, that indicates you’d be more likely to succeed as president.”

Bill hit the head right on the nail. In order to be an effective leader, it is essential that you learn to work with all sides and not be so isolated in your own ideals that you fail to see the real needs of every day Americans. I'm willing to bet that no other candidate realizes this fact, a fact that is only realized with a great deal of experience - something both Bill and Hillary have an enormous amount of.

Vote for Hillary Online has received a warning from the opposition

Folks, we here at Vote for Hillary Online received a tip today around 7:25pm - and it's not the good kind of tip. An anonymous member of the opposition contacted us to let us know that some very devastating dirt is about to come out on Hillary Clinton. Now, we don't know the details of the scandal, we don't know if it has to do with campaign finance, fraud, murder, flip flopping on the issues..etc, it could be any number of things. But whatever it turns out to be, we must stand by our candidate in hard times - that's when true loyalty is demonstrated. We were debating whether to give everyone a heads up on this or not, but I do believe that by issuing a preemptive release, it shows the opposition that their smear tactics will not sway our principles. We will stand by Hillary in times of triumph, and in times where she needs our support the most. And folks, this is most definitely one of those times.

Let us keep our morale high and continue with the grassroots tactics. If you run out of bumper stickers, don't hesitate to send us an e-mail for help. The most important thing you all can be doing right now is promoting Hillary's message of prosperity, hope, and freedom. It's quite interesting to see where this race has taken us all, but it does sadden me that the opposition would get desperate enough to release some old information in order to get ahead. It's times like this where I refer back to the Grassroots Hillary Oath. If you haven't by now, I suggest you print this off and put it in your wallet. We can win this thing, and we will - if we stay strong, motivated, and focused. I want to be proud to be an American again, I think we all do. Let's make it happen - let's make history, and let us all be apart of something we can all tell our grandchildren about.

Obama Caught Lying About His Plan to Run for President

Now this is just hilarious. Speaking in Iowa today, Barack Obama tried to tell everyone that he was a different kind of candidate in attempt to contrast himself to our own Hillary Clinton. While everyone else has had a long term goal of eventually running for President, Obama spoke of how his run for president is more spontaneous and is a result of the tough times he feels he's the solution for. The problem with all this? It's a complete lie.

From nationalreview.com:

Today in Iowa, Senator Barack Obama said: "I have not been planning to run for President for however number of years some of the other candidates have been planning for.”

Oh really?

“Senator Obama’s comment today is fundamentally at odds with what his teachers, family, classmates and staff have said about his plans to run for President,” Clinton spokesperson Phil Singer said. “Senator Obama’s campaign rhetoric is getting in the way of his reality.”

Immediately after joining the Senate, Senator Obama started planning run for President. "'The first order of business for Senator Obama's team was charting a course for his first two years in the Senate. The game plan was to send Senator Obama into the 2007-2008 election cycle in the strongest form possible'...The final act of the plan was turning up the talk about a potential Presidential bid, which was greatly aided by his positive press and suggestions by pundits that he run for President." [U.S. News and World Report, 6/19/07 ]

His law school classmates say that Senator Obama has been planning Presidential run for 'more than a decade.' [A]ccording to those who know him, he has been talking about the presidency for more than a decade. "It was clear to me from the day I met him that he was thinking about politics," says Harvard Law School classmate Christine Spurell. [Washington Post, 8/12/07 ]

15 years ago, Senator Obama told his brother-in-law he was planning to run for President. Craig [Robinson] pulled him aside [in 1992] and asked about his plans. "He said, 'I think I'd like to teach at some point in time, and maybe run for public office,' recalls Robinson, who assumed Senator Obama meant he'd like to run for city alderman. "He said no — at some point he'd like to run for the U.S. Senate. And then he said, 'Possibly even run for President at some point.' And I was like, 'Okay, but don't say that to my Aunt Gracie.' I was protecting him from saying something that might embarrass him." [Washington Post, 8/12/07 ]

In third grade, Senator Obama wrote an essay titled 'I Want To Be a President.' His third grade teacher: Fermina Katarina Sinaga "asked her class to write an essay titled 'My dream: What I want to be in the future.' Senator Obama wrote 'I want to be a President,' she said." [The Los Angeles Times, 3/15/07]

Folks, let this be a lesson to any candidate who attempts to gain at the expense of Hillary by appearing to take the high ground. We will go back and look at the history, and you will get caught and made a fool of. Hillary Clinton is the candidate with the most integrity, honesty, and loyalty. Don't you ever think you can beat her at her own game.

Hillary hints that she may choose Bill Richardson for VP

From Newsmax.com:

Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton tossed an intriguing teaser into Saturday night's Iowa Brown and Black Presidential Forum: Bill Richardson as vice president?

When the New Mexico governor referenced Bill Clinton's old job as governor of Arkansas, he said to Clinton, "Don't you think governors make good presidents?" according to the New York Daily News.

Clinton's answer -- "Well, Bill, I think they also make good vice presidents" -- left Richardson briefly speechless.

Speculation about Richardson as VP has been fueled by his refusal to criticize Clinton, and his willingness to defend her.

If you'll recall from our post on possible Vice President selections for Hillary, we noted that Bill Richardson is the only democratic candidate with experience in the executive branch. As much as we'd love to see the possibility of a Hillary & Bill dynamic duo, we also think the White House could use some fresh blood in the office. Richardson also offers a vast amount of experience with foreign relations as the former Secretary of Energy. Plus, it's no secret that Bill Richardson has been the only candidate with enough integrity to not attack Hillary Clinton during the debates and press releases. He has shown that he knows better than to do that, and I don't see him as someone who would get in the way of Hillary's proposals while in office. Let's face it, Hillary and Bill can take care of the White House just fine on their own. Whoever the Vice President happens to be, we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that they are anything more than a fill-in for a required position. The real reason Hillary should choose Bill Richardson? The Latino vote. In this day and age, alienating this important demographic is political suicide. The naming of Bill Richardson for VP along with her plans on immigration reform will by the winning combination for capturing the hearts and votes of Latinos across the nation.

Hillary is the only candidate with a real plan for health care reform

The other day we wrote about the growing battle between John Edwards and Barack Obama over what to do about health care. Earlier we had thought that this was good for Hillary because these two would argue each other away into obscurity while Hillary would remain the clear leader. But now it is becoming evident that this spat is all a big setup in order to get more press. Unlike Hillary, Obama and Edwards simply can't get the time they want on television because they aren't interesting enough to be interviewed. They have found a way around this though: create a fake controversy, get the media to cover it, and they now have a legitimate excuse to be doing interviews - to respond to their "competitor". Well it seems that Hillary, and now Vote for Hillary Online, is on to this game.

From Foxnews.com (sorry guys):

Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle has written a letter to her counterpart at the Obama campaign, asking the Illinois senator to stop running what she calls a "false ad" in New Hampshire that claims his health care plan would cover everyone.

"Your advertisement not only contradicts the judgment of health care experts but public statements by your campaign and your candidate," Solis Doyle wrote, adding, "Senator Obama has pledged to put 'honesty first' in this campaign. In that spirit I respectfully request that you stop running this ad which is misleading voters in New Hampshire."

The letter is the latest dig in an argument that has been percolating for weeks. Clinton's plan includes an individual mandate that would require every American to obtain health insurance, while Obama's plan only mandates coverage for children.

Clinton’s camp often cites experts who say Obama’s plan would leave out 15 million people of the 47 million who are uninsured and notes that even Obama has called the plan "virtually universal." Obama has said he would offer subsidies to the working poor, and that over time the savings through his plan would allow everyone to be covered.

This is excellent political strategy here folks. Not only is this getting Hillary involved in the media-covered health care debate, but she offers the most conclusive and all-encompassing plans of all the candidates. I'm sorry folks, but the whole logic of "if just one person was helped, then it was all worth it" just doesn't cut it in this day and age. There are better solutions. We should not settle for simply having more Americans getting high quality health care. Our job isn't done until every American has high quality health care.

Health Care needs to be mandated just like seat belt laws are mandated. We realize not everyone wants to participate, but the government needs to enact policy that is for the benefit of all people, not just the ones that opt in. Having so many Americans uninsured is simply an embarrassment for us and to our image as a nation to the rest of the world. It could be argued that many of those without health care coverage realize this, and they're purposely not getting coverage because it will contribute to the perception that America isn't doing enough to ensure the health of its citizens. Yes, we have been infiltrated. Not every American "citizen" wants to see us do well. If there's a policy set fourth to make us all better off, they'll be against it. And leaving the window open for people to not get coverage is leaving an opportunity for the rest of the world to mock our great nation as incompassionate. Hillary Clinton is the only candidate who recognizes this, which is yet another reason that we need to ensure her election (as if it wasn't clear already).

Hillary Clinton is on board with our bumper sticker campaign

Folks if you'll remember, a few weeks ago we started what we had hoped to be a massive bumper sticker campaign. We unfortunately had to call it off though due to legal concerns about interfering with private property. Well, imagine our delight when we got an e-mail from Hillary Clinton herself, backing the grassroots bumper sticker campaign. I think it's pretty safe to say that Mission: Bumper Sticker is back in progress. You know, grassroots efforts don't always correlate well with what the official campaign thinks the focus should be. We're all working towards the same goal, but obviously there is going to be some friction from time to time. But it's times like this where I feel really confident about what we're doing because we're both working together in this effort. It's a great time to be an American, and it's a great time to be a grassroots Hillary supporter.

Below is Hillary Clinton's e-mail to Vote for Hillary Online. We hope you all get as fired up about it as we did. It's time to take this great nation back and make it our own - something we can be proud of. It's time to get the good word out about the only candidate with the experience and courage to do what needs to be done. It's time..for Mission: Bumper Sticker.



Dear Vote for Hillary Online,

I want to personally thank you for getting involved in my campaign. It is critical that we stay in touch as fast-moving events shape this important election.

The stakes couldn't be higher, as you well know.

If we want to end the war in Iraq, restore America's reputation in the world, rebuild the middle class, reform our government, and provide affordable health care for all, we need to work together. Not a single Republican candidate can provide America with the clean break and fresh start we so urgently need.

But we can - and that's what this campaign is all about. So let's show everyone what we can accomplish together. Here's one thing you can do: display my special gift to you today - a "Hillary for President" bumper sticker!

December 10th Democratic debate has been cancelled

From Reuters:

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A televised debate set for next month among the Democratic presidential candidates will be canceled to avoid a potential conflict with striking Hollywood screenwriters, a source close to organizers said on Wednesday.

The decision by the Democratic National Committee came after several candidates said they would refuse to cross picket lines of the Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike against major film and television studios since November 5.

A debate among eight Democrats running for the White House had been scheduled for December 10 at the CBS Television City studio in Los Angeles, where striking writers have been routinely picketing.

I know this news may be a big disappointment to a lot of you that wanted to see Hillary stand her ground and take on the boys, but this is actually great news. Let's face it, everyone in America knows about Hillary Clinton and her positions. She has absolutely no problem with name recognition, as some of the other candidates do. These debates actually have more potential to harm her campaign than they do to help, simply because it gives exposure to the lesser known candidates. Right now if an election was held, I guarantee you Hillary would win hands down. But if John Edwards and Barack Obama were able to get enough air time to somehow convince the masses that they would be a more effective president, then they might have a real chance of taking away the election from us. Every debate I have seen so far has been nothing more than an obsessive smear campaign against Hillary. I'm really starting to question the importance of these debates in the different times we live in today.

Barbara Streisand Endorses Hillary Clinton

Excellent Excellent Excellent. We have been waiting on this news, and I was hesitant to report it earlier because it was still in the works, but it's official now folks: Barbara Streisand has endorsed Hillary Clinton. It may seem that these days Barbara Streisand doesn't have much relevance as far as swaying voters one way of the other, but this is simply due to the fact that she doesn't get much media coverage. The people remember her, believe me. She's like the white Oprah - when she speaks, people listen. If there were any women who were on the fence about Hillary before, I can guarantee you that this is exactly what we needed to push them over the edge.

Streisand gave a speech of praise on why she has chosen to endorse Hillary as opposed to the others:

"Hillary is a powerful voice for change as we find our country at an important crossroads. Under her leadership, our country will regain its respect within the global community. She will prioritize issues of global climate change, universal health care and rebuilding a strong economy. After eight long years, the public will once again have faith in their government."

I couldn't have said it better myself. She realizes that America is going through tough times, and we are desperately seeking someone who can give us all hope once again and carry us into 8 years of prosperity. You can either be oblivious to the problems America faces, or you can get involved and make history. Barbara Streisand is the true definition of a patriot.

When you get criticized by Republicans, you must be doing something right

The unrelenting smear campaign against Hillary Clinton has been going on for as long as she has been running, but now the Republican candidates are starting to get in on it too. But for different reasons. You see, the media has had somewhat of a personal vendetta against Hillary right from the start, and they've done everything they possibly can to run her good name through the mud. They do this for ratings, and they love to bring someone up only to tear them down. More importantly, they thrive on chaos, and it doesn't matter to them if our nation suffers because of it - that's just more money for them to make on the backs of the working class. But the Republican candidates do it out of fear. They do it because it plays to their quickly diminishing base, in hopes that they can somehow rally the few loyal Republicans who haven't seemed to wake up to the fact that we need some change in America.

usatoday.com has an interesting article about this phenomenon, and it really speaks to just how low Republicans will steep when they're desperate and out of ideas. Instead of focusing on the issues as Hillary has done all along, it seems that Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani's secret recipe for success is to accuse the other of mimicking Hillary Clinton. First of all, I have to take issue with someone comparing a candidate to Hillary as an insult. She has put forth numerous proposals that she will enact as President, many of which address the growing problems we will soon be facing as a nation, and she has more experience in the White House than all of the candidates combined. Second of all, this really gets down to the core of what the Republicans are all about: empty rhetoric, an over reliance on smear tactics as a result, and a growing trend of separation politics that attempts to marginalize those with opposing viewpoints. I say bring it on Republicans. Bush's approval rating is at a historic low, and if the Republican strategy is more-of-the-same with an dismissal of new ideas, then this will most certainly set the stage for an inevitable victory for Hillary Clinton.
