Strange Bedfellows: The Clinton Machine and the Republican Party

    First Rush Limbaugh urges Republicans in Texas and Ohio to vote for Hillary on the March 4th open primaries "to bloody up" Senator Obama. Then the McCain campaign chooses to focus its criticisms exclusively on Senator Obama. In fact, Rick Davis, John McCain's campaign manager, writes a letter to anyone interested about how there are "cracks in Obama's coalition" after Pennsylvania, trying to convince anyone who would listen that Obama is a weak candidate.Wait, that sounds like the Clinton campaign, doesn't it? But that's not all. The Great Republican Poobah himself joins in the fray, Karl Rove writes a letter explaining why Hillary has really won the popular vote (include Florida and Michigan and give no votes to Obama from Michigan),  and shouldn't Democrats count all the votes? Such concerns from  Turdblossom  would  be touching if his boss hadn't stolen the election in 2000 by not counting all the votes. How about the ad the Republican party in North Carolina have decided to run? This ad is ostensibly  against the  two  Democratic gubernatorial candidates and yet,  they're running it now which suggests they're hoping to turn North Carolina against Obama. Am I the only one that's having a hard time distinguishing GOP and HRC attacks? Why are both Hillary and Bill complaining that under GOP rules, she would be the nominee? How bizarre. Finally, Terry McAuliffe is now the promo for Fox News a.k.a, The Republican channel, how sad is that?

Hillary and the DLC are foreign policy and corporate conservatives. They only differ from the GOP on social issues.

You're right, it's very sad.
