This video should have conservatives deeply worried. Am I kidding? Not at all. Hillary’s main drawback is her icy persona. She has tried to appear more warm and personable in public appearances and interviews lately and by all accounts has not succeeded. However, this video shows that alone, in a pre-taped and heavily edited video, she can indeed look fully relatable, pleasant and normal. If she can produce enough of these, we at CandidatesBlog predict that they can completely overshaddow her public stiffness by letting the public know the “real Hillary”. Americans are forgiving of a presidential candidate who is not great at public speaking (2 terms of George W. removes any doubt), but they want to know (as they did with W) that the “real life” person behind the candidate is someone they would like to sit down for a drink with. In this video; Hillary accomplishes this.
under the label “I need your advice” Hillary Clinton asked supporters to help her with a very important decision and actually showed some warmth, carisma and humor. go Hill!
Ron Paul says the current slate of candidates need the “courage” of former President Ronald Reagan. Sounds pretty obvious for a Republican candidate. Except he made the comment in context of being able to withdraw US troops from Iraq.
The Texas Congressman, who has become an internet favorite but does not register much support in polls, said the Middle East is too unstable a region in which to maintain an indefinite US military presence. Paul compared the current “quagmire” in Iraq to military involvement in Lebanon in the early 1980s.
“We need the courage of a Ronald Reagan,” Paul said, explaining the former president initially vowed not to withdraw US Marines who were attacked in October 1983 in Beirut while serving as part of a multinational peacekeeping force. Reagan withdrew the troops in February of the following year.
Paul outlined his initial oppositions to the war in Iraq and his warnings that the war would become a quagmire like Vietnam. He said the war has shrunk the Republican base and touted his plan to end the war.
From the Govorners Youtube channel: I believe federal tax policies should be family friendly, starting with making the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts permanent. As President, I will also push for elimination of the marriage penalty.
“Shove it down his throat”. The latest off the cuff comment from Democrat Joe Biden. Here is the video from the April 07 Fish Fry, where he answers a question about Bush’s impending veto:
FLASHBACK: Is this not as bad as the gaff shown below when Biden said “You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent.”?
Or how about when he said Obama was the first “clean” African American running for president?
EXIT QUESTION: Can he reassure YOU he has the dicipline needed?…
