Sorry Bill, you're on your own now.

I saw this thread earlier today and I decided to let it ferment for awhile before bringing it over, Since it seems posting a thread here kills it more often than not.  Enjoy the suffering as Big Dawg pisses all over the DUmmy fire hydrant..again...

I've tried to defend Bill Clinton at every opportunity.

He was one of my favorite Presidents, and I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

At the Democratic Convention, I thought he laid to rest this notion that he was still bitter about Hillary's loss and wasn't warming up to the Obama-Biden ticket. He even agreed to fundraise and campaign for Obama. While some of you said he was only doing that because he had to, I said he was doing it because he wanted Obama in the White House.

But despite all this, I feel like Bill Clinton is sending mixed signals.

When he gave that scenario about candidate X and candidate Y, I told myself he wasn't talking about Obama and McCain.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

When he said McCain was a good man and was admirable, I said he's being diplomatic and giving courtesy to McCain-Palin as a former President.

I again, gave him the benefit of the doubt.

When you went on 'The View' and talked about Hillary instead and gave lukewarm support to Obama and praised McCain, I cringed.

But again, I gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Then I saw this, and I can't give him the benefit of the doubt here:

He praised McCain. Fine. But Palin? Then tells us we shouldn't come after Palin? No way, no how. Too far, Bill.

And finally I heard from another poster that on 'The Late Show' he said McCain was a maverick, but was running in a bad year.

President Clinton, I miss your Administration. I wish we were back in the 1990's.

But you're on your own, jack. You went too far.

If you watch Bill when he talks about the election, the usual fast and smooth speaker looks uncomfortable and often carefully picks his words. He doesn't seem comfortable in giving praise to Obama, and often what he says comes out in a way that is more damaging than it is helpful.

I want to believe Bill Clinton is on board, just still bitter from the primary. If that's the case, get him out of this race completely. Get him off the TV, get him out of the limelight. And let Hillary do the talking, she's been phenomenal.

I will admit I was wrong, and I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Just yesterday I came to his defense, but I can't anymore.

And if he continues to run his mouth, and give the corporate media something to fuel their Obama/Clinton rift story...

Then the DU sharks can have him.

Palin is the debbil.

Kerry2008 is amazingly obtuse. Guess what Kerry:
1. Clinton despises Obama
2. I doubt if he reads DU
3. your good will or lack thereof is utterly meaningless to him.

Kerry2008 was a mole on a puma site and got the boot, now he is back at DU telling lies, swatting flies and pretending that somebody cares what he thinks.

You know, miskie, sir, actually that's been one of my own strategies since back in the days of our old home.

Bringing a bonfire from Skins's island over to here does affect how the primitives react to the bonfire.

I've never kept track, but I imagine the past four years or so, I've intentionally and cold-bloodedly doused circa 20 primitive bonfires by bringing them to our old home, or to here.

It's a great lot of fun.

Does that mean they feel some shame when their lunacy is brought to light?

Translation: "Damn you Bill! Don't expect us to act like decent people and behave like adults. We want to show the world how our third grade, playground mentality really sets us apart from all the normal people. You've gone too far, Bill."
