ViceZilla’s Views

Get the shovels out, because the amount of shit coming out of the Clinton camp lately is rising like the mighty Mississippi, and it is nearing our bottom lip of the American public! Their insanity is getting out of control!

Firstly, the question is asked, how can the Florida and Michigan delegates be seated at the convention? Obviously a compromise needs to be made in order to still recognize their delegates, but yet still penalize them for breaking party rules. We do after all still live in a society of rules. Senator Obama proposed that seating only half of Florida’s delegates would be fair. This proposal seemed to get the support of Bill Clinton as well as a few Clinton campaign officials. Seems reasonable, right? Well maybe it would to a rational and reasonable person anyway!

Hillary flatly dismissed the suggestion, saying she would insist on only 100% of Florida’s delegates being seated. Hillary “I want it all” Clinton is unwilling to compromise to get these delegates seated, which only shows her true colors as a super you know what!

Second question asked, is what does Hillary want to bow out gracefully and end her pathetic tirades to try and save a little face? Answer: Everything!

Bill Clinton had the nerve to suggest that Hillary “deserves” the ultimate consolation prize:

she has earned nothing short of an offer to be Obama’s running mate, according to some who are close to the former President.

So just how much leverage does Bill think Hillary has to claim she “deserves” nothing less than an “offer” from Obama to be his running mate? Are these people off their rockers, or are they on the crack pipe?

This lunacy needs to come to an end! Its time for both Bill and Hillary to come to the realization that they have stomped, kicked, trampled, mutilated, and otherwise defaced their own Clinton brand! To put it bluntly, go away already!

Hillary wants, no scratch that, needs to be President of the United States. She’s behaving like she needs to be President like a junkie needs a fix. It’s as if there isn’t anything she won’t say, do, or sell in her quest to get the fix. Her chances are pretty slim to nil of getting the nomination nod this time around, mostly because of her negativity during the campaign, plus she plain and simply doesn’t have the votes. But, a run in 2012 is starting to look like her plan.

She’s behind in votes, popular, pledged, and superdelegate numbers just aren’t backing up her claims of still being able to win this thing. Plus, her campaign is nearly $20 million in debt. It’s over for her, but yet she vows to continue on to the Democratic convention, kicking and screaming all the way there. The only possible reason for her to stay in the race, rather than drop out graciously and get on the Democratic Party’s page, is simply to hurt Obama’s chances in the general election. What other reason could there be?

If Obama loses to McCain, which Hillary is predicting, then she would be a shoe in for the nomination in 2012. And in 2012, McCain will have proven that his term was just another failed Bush term, thus again making her a shoe in for the Presidential win.

This of course is all hypothetical, but I’m trying to dumb it down to get to Hillary’s level as to why she is continuing her “me me me” diatribe.

She has now sunk to a new low in her campaign efforts to get the delegations from Florida and Michigan seated. As reported by the Politico:

Hillary Clinton compared her effort to seat Florida and Michigan delegates to epic American struggles, including those to free the slaves and win the right to vote for blacks and women.

She then compares the Florida fiasco of 2000 with her not winning the Nomination:

“In Florida, you learned the hard way what happens when your votes aren’t counted and the candidate with fewer votes is declared the winner. The lesson of 2000 here in Florida is crystal clear: if any votes aren’t count, the will of the people isn’t realized and our democracy is diminished.”

Her last quote sums it all up. After the dust has settled, even if/when the Florida and Michigan delegates are seated, she still won’t have gotten the Democratic nomination, but we’ll get to listen to her whine and moan about how it was ’stolen’ from her for the next few years!

What I find the most hypocritical is that she is almost daring the DNC to not count the Florida and Michigan votes, because if they aren’t, come November Florida and Michigan will vote for McCain.

“We know the road to a Democratic White House runs right through Florida and Michigan. If we care about winning those states in November, we need to count your votes now. If Democrats send a message that we don’t fully value your votes, we know Sen. McCain and the Republicans will be more than happy to have them.”

It seems all to obvious that Hillary will only fight for the Florida and Michigan votes, if it benefits her and only her. Where was she when the DNC disqualified those votes because they broke party rules by moving their primaries dates? She was lining up to agree that the votes won’t be counted, as per punishment by the party’s rules committee, that’s where.

She needs to realize that she is not the be-all and end-all of the Democratic party. If anything she is hampering the party’s efforts to win the White House in November by spewing selfish rhetoric like this out. Maybe she should drop out of the Democratic race now, and start her own independent party. She could call it the Hillary party, and then she could have all the votes she could get from her beloved “I am Hillary, hear me roar” campaign!

You know, there is just something about Hillary lately that makes you want to have an aneurysm. Throbbing temples, clenched teeth, rapid breathing, eyes ready to jump out of their sockets kind of aneurysm! The next time I get a migraine, I’m calling it a Hillary instead.

24 hours haven’t passed yet and she is already whining and moaning about Michigan’s plan to get their delegates seated. The reason for incessant whining, is four delegates! Four fuckin’ fricken delegates!

Michigan Democrats on Wednesday voted to back a plan that would give Clinton 69 delegates — four fewer than the 73 she gained by winning the state’s Jan. 15 primary. Obama would get 59 pledged delegates even though he took his name off the ballot, forcing his supporters to vote for Uncommitted.

Considering, as we all know by now, that Michigan was stripped of it’s delegates because, again as we all know by now, they broke party rules by moving their primary dates, these delegates shouldn’t even be on the table. But yet Hillary continues to urge that these delegates be seated, one way or another in order for the ‘voter’s voices to be heard.’ That’s all well and fine to say, but there needs to be some compromises made because Obama’s name wasn’t even on the ballot.

Why can’t Hillary take what she can get and just shut up? She’s moaning about getting four fewer delegates than she won after the “not counted” primary in Michigan. She should consider herself fortunate, because how many delegates would she have won if Obama’s name had been on the ballot? Maybe 4 less. Maybe 5 or 6 less? Who knows. But the bottom line is the Michigan plan seems like a fair compromise to get their delegates seated.

If Hillary is going to act like a spoiled child over the Michigan plan, the party should make a stand. Give her the 4 fuckin’ delegates just to shut her up, then push for the uncommitted superdelegates to get off the fence and stand behind their chosen candidate. It’s time for this insanity to end! The party can’t put up with another month of Hillary whining and moaning every time she doesn’t get her way!

It’s time for the grown-ups to tell Hillary to play nice or get the hell out of the sandbox!

Those damn Wizards and all their wizardly tricks are worse than hooligans, damnit! Hooligans I say!

For reasons only known to the Pasco County School District in Florida, making a toothpick disappear, then reappear in front of students is taboo. So forbidden it seems that the substitute teacher, Jim Piculas got handed his walking papers over it.

The head of supervisor of substitute teachers (Bet ya didn’t know that such a position existed, di ya?) called Mr. Piculas and told him he couldn’t take any more assignments because he’s been accused of wizardry.

Mr. Piculas can be thankful that he only got fired from his job because luckily the good people of Florida don’t practice the “burning witches at the stake” thing!

Who could forget the un-President being elected because of contested “hanging chads” in Florida? Bush lost the election to Al Gore, that’s a fact.

I, like so many others in this country and around the world sat in disbelief as the un-President finagled his way to the White House. Never before in the history of the United States has a hole in a punch card come under such scrutiny. Hanging chads are old hat now, so what could the Republicans have up their sleeves now to guarantee their man makes it to the White House in 2008? The fiasco will not happen in Florida, but California if they get their way.
