So the old hag...

Oh, my!!! Ms. Clinton is 67 years old. Mr. McCain was 72; Mr. Dole 73; Mr. (HW) Bush 68 and Mr. Reagan 73.


What COLORFUL term did we have for those men when they were running, based on their [older] ages?!? Or, is it somehow *different* when an old man is running for POTUS?

Since I despise all in that list of yours but one you can call them whatever ugly term you like and I will give you a like for it.

No doubt. But, I won't. I'm made of *different* stuff.

 

[WHO IS SERAFIN]

Not me! I call criminals, liars, destroyers of the constitution and socialists for what they are. And I am being kind to the old hag.

 

[mrldii]

No doubt Ms. Clinton appreciates any and all old coots "being kind" to her.

Not old enough to be called a old coot yet but am looking forward to that day.

Age is just a number; "old coot" is an attitude.


*Nice* to see you've embraced - and perfected! - it at such a young age.

I try.

...saw this while doing a Google Images search of anti-Hillary Clinton memes and thought, "Yeah, it invokes Godwin's Law...like I care?"

....let's just be glad that HRC and Company weren't around back in 1941 or we might all be speaking German nowadays, if worse...

Ahhhh, you're slacking, Webster. Your cohorts are already having a Hillary-bashing field day, with much larger audiences:

Here's snippets of some of the *better* ones:

"Paul Joseph Watson @PrisonPlanet Follow
#WhyImNotVotingForHillary Her entire appeal appears to rest solely on the fact that she has a vagina.

Because, apparently, being *appealing* because one has a white penis has never been a factor in any previous U.S. election. EVER.

*looks over towards Mrldii* ....hey, hey, hey, I've never cared for that Georgia windbag Erick Erickson much, my friend...and I sure as hell don't care for anyone associated w/Alex Jones's tin-foil hat brigade, so don't loop them in w/me, m'kay?

That said, now that HRC's running, expect the political satire floodgates to open in earnest..

 

[Sinon]

I chuckled at McMorris' comment.

 

[DrLeftover]

A Clinton would know all about "a stacked deck", as mentioned in her video.

...

I'm confident the evidence of their woodies for Ms. Clinton will become as apparent - if not more so - than they were for Mr. Obama.

I prefer a little more high-brow satire than the 2nd-grade level many of today's pundits utilize. In their defense, they may just be playing to the strengths of their followers, though, so it doesn't "fly over their heads".

...still think HRC should be President?

 

[mrldii]

Yup, yup. If Ronald Reagan and his ties to - and bedding down with - The Mob can be overlooked, so can a comment taken out of context and turned into a *clever* meme to appease woodies.

"Strong indicators surfaced in 1980 when Ronald Reagan received the endorsement of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. That endorsement put organized crime’s stamp of approval on the Reagan campaign and was quickly followed by additional support from other sources which played a major role in putting Ronald Reagan in the White House. Not only did he receive support from organized crime, but his administration reciprocated that support and gave organized crime’s representatives seats on the highest councils of American government. Individuals with clear and compelling connections to organized crime were appointed to important governmental positions. And Reagan’s closest advisor and his best Washington-based friend throughout his Presidency was a man who Las Vegas FBI agents had called “a tool of organized crime” – Senator Paul Laxalt....

Paul Laxalt, the former Governor and Senator from Nevada, was Ronald Reagan’s “closest friend and most trusted advisor” (Wall Street Journal, June 20, 1983: 1). Laxalt, who met with Reagan two or three times a week, was described in the press as the “first friend,” and Reagan’s “eyes and ears” in the United States Senate. Senator Laxalt had served as Reagan’s campaign manager in 1976, 1980, and 1984 and had delivered the nominating speeches for Reagan at the Republican National Conventions in those years.

While Laxalt’s White House connections gave the impression of great respectability and power, his other associations were less than savory. Particularly troubling was Laxalt’s long-time friendship and political association with Allen Dorfman, the man who had supervised the use of the Teamsters Union’s Central States Pension Fund as a private bank for organized crime (Washington Post, January 21, 1983: 1). Laxalt made no secret of his association with Dorfman or his actions on Dorfman’s behalf, as the following letter sent to Richard Nixon asking that the incarcerated former Teamster Union president, Jimmy Hoffa, be pardoned indicates:

'Dear President Dick:

The other day I had an extended discussion with Al Dorfman of the Teamsters, with whom I’ve worked closely for the past few years … This discussion, which described in detail the personal vendetta that Bobby Kennedy had against Hoffa, together with other information provided me over the years, leads me to the inevitable conclusion that Jim is a victim of Kennedy’s revenge.'..."

Nancy Reagan: “I Want Hillary to Win”

Last week, during a promotional press conference for The History Channel’s upcoming series “First Ladies in Their Own Words,” series’ host Ron Reagan shared clips of his interviews with all living former First Ladies of the United States. In a brief video clip with his mother Nancy Reagan, she offered her endorsement of Hillary Clinton as President saying, “The time for a woman to serve as our President has come – really, now is the time – and I think the idea of having a former First Lady as the leader of the free world is really quite a marvelous notion. I want Hillary to win. Even though I admire two of the current potential Republican nominees, I have no interest in seeing either of them lead this country.”

http://nationalreport.net/nancy-reagan-want-hillary-win/

There, I just "proved" Hillary is endorsed by organized crime...

Kind of pointless, don't you all think?

@Rooster:

It appears you don't know how this political game that We, the People don't like is played and how easily We, the People get caught up in it all the while screaming 'til we're red - or blue! - in the face how much We, the People really hate it.



By the way, you'll have to provide a citation to a legitimate source before I'll believe that Ms. Reagan has endorsed Ms. Clinton.

 

[Rooster]

@mrldii

Oh, but that was my point.

I know exactly how "the game is played"!

That was my whole point...

Go ahead and argue, right vs left, repub vs dem, conservative vs liberal, whatever.

Go ahead and fiddle while Rome burns!

P.S. - For my point to be made, doesn't matter if the source is "legitimate" or not...

Probably helps my case if it isn't!
