When you think about a dream Democratic candidate you probably think of…Margaret Thatcher???
HILLARY CLINTON is to be presented as America’s Margaret Thatcher as she tries to become the first woman to win the White House. As she entered the 2008 presidential race yesterday, a senior adviser said that her campaign would emphasise security, defence and personal strengths reminiscent of the Iron Lady.
“Their policies are totally different but they are both perceived as very tough,” said Terry McAuliffe, Clinton’s campaign chairman. “She is strong on foreign policy. People have got to know you are going to keep them safe.”
With any luck, Hillary will redeploy our troops from Iraq to Argentina. I don’t understand how the Clintonistas can be so tone deaf. Hillary isn’t running for President yet. She is running for the nomination of the Democratic Party. And I know a lot of Democrats. They fucking hate Margaret Thatcher. Terry McAuliffe is advising Hillary Clinton on how to make Democrats hate her. He’s an incompetent fool. Take this, for example:
“She has the name recognition, the money, the glitz, she’s got it all,” McAuliffe said.
Oh, just shut your pie hole, Terry. No one thinks Hillary Clinton is glitzy.
Clinton said she would talk to voters about “how to bring the right end to the war in Iraq and restore respect for America around the world”. She also hopes to appeal to women voters in their twenties and thirties.
Hillary is going to appeal to women in their twenties and thirties by acting like Margaret Thatcher? I think they might be more inclined to gravitate toward Edwards and Obama. If Hillary wants to appeal to women she should try acting like one, not like a British battleaxe warmonger…or like a man. But if you really want to throw up, check out this next part.
Clinton faces strong competition from Barack Obama, the charismatic but inexperienced 45-year-old Illinois senator. The race is already being billed “the magic v the machine”.
Wonderful. They’ve narrowed the contest down to two and given it a cute name. Wolf Blitzer is probably buffing his jock as we speak.
