Wouldn't it be great ... ??
I just saw Bill Clinton on the news opining about how great it would be if we had 2 candidates for President this fall (Hillary Clinton and John McCain) who love the country. Then, we wouldn't have all the innuendo about unpatriotic Dems to contend with and could focus on the issues that really matter. (Does anyone have the exact quote?) Clinton's remarks were wrong on so many levels, how does one respond?

In another post I put up the link (http://tinyurl.com/2wz3ss) to a year-plus-old Washington Post piece by Lanny Davis, where he commented on a Clinton/McCain ticket.
Here are the pullquotes I used:
...and:
She's been mulling this for over a year, apparently, and working more and more overtly for it as well.
With the current financial revelations from her campaign frontpaged at the main TPM, I wonder how long it will be before the announcement?

I just saw a link to the text on another thread, posted by cadme:
"I think it would be a great thing if we had an election year where you had two people who loved this country and were devoted to the interest of this country," said the former president. "And people could actually ask themselves who is right on these issues, instead of all this other stuff that always seems to intrude itself on our politics."

sorry, that was "cadms", not cadme, posting the link to the text, and the blockquote should have extended through the last paragraph.

Bill and Hillary belong only to one party, and that is the Clintocratic party.
Bipartisan ticket? No way. No one picks a VP from their own party, then tells them to get lost to make way for their rival/opponent. Put the crack pipe down......

Don't be such as ass. If he was asked to contemplate on a general election matchup between Clinton and McCain, how can any sentient person divine the ulterior motive that he was using the answer to impugn Obama's patriotism? Stop looking for shit to offend you.
