Ms Clinton can not drop out its about the money and she is stuck being Baghdad Bob just to.......
Edited on Fri Mar-21-08 09:52 PM by ThatBozGuy
keep the flow of donations coming in, she has to gamble on a big Obama scandal sticking, so she can raise enough money to pay off her debt load.

After the FEC numbers have come out it is clear that is one of the only things holding her in.

It certainly is clear by both Ms Clinton and Mr Clinton's actions this week, that their motivation is definitely not about being Democrats for Democrats sake, their attacks now include not only Mr Obama but the DNC and the party itself.

All of which they have said or alluded to are unamerican, and they(clintons) are the only people left that aren't in this situation, although Mr Clinton did also state that Mr McCain was also a patriot just like them.

She currently has 33 million in the bank with a 30 million dollar debt load, including her 5 million dollar loan to herself.

Its all about the money now, stay in and keep raising fund preying on the people she dupes that she is viable, or worse the money she raises from the anti obama supporters.

I truly believe Ms Clinton was a better candidate then she has become, it is sad what desperation can do, to change a strong woman into Baghdad Bob.


On April 8, 2003
"Baghdad Bob" disappeared, perhaps forever. On the other hand, perhaps he will return as Minister of Information for France.


It is truly a shame that it looks clear that he may have actually returned as Ms Clinton and her campaign.


Below Ive included some quotes from Baghdad Bob

Replace the names and places with Obama and Wright and other surrogates such as Wolfson and Penn and make the campaigns the US and iraq and so on in proper relation and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the same denial in Ms Clinton, some of her supporters and mostly her campaign.



Baghdad Bob
======================================================
Mocking the Coalition's Attempt To Target Saddam Hussein:
"These villains, and in particular the villain Bush, said they had struck Iraq with 40 cruise missiles to assassinate President Saddam Hussein. Not only are they disappointed, I think they are hysterical."

Attempting to Acknowledge What Was Happening Militarily Beyond Baghdad:
March 22, 2003
"Maybe they will enter Umm Qasr and Basra, but how will they enter Baghdad? It will be a big oven for them. They can penetrate our borders but they cannot reach Baghdad. They will try to pull our army and troops out but we are well aware of their plans and they will fail."

March 23, 2003
"In Umm Qasr, the fighting is fierce and we have inflicted many damages. The stupid enemy, the Americans and British, failed completely. They're not making any penetration."

As Televised Reports of U.S. Forces Approaching the Outskirts of Western Baghdad Are Shown:
"They are not any place. They are on the move everywhere. They are a snake moving in the desert. They hold no place in Iraq. This is an illusion."

After U.S. Forces Seized Baghdad's Airport:
"We butchered the force present at the airport. We have retaken the airport! There are no Americans there!"

After U.S. Troops Penetrated Central Baghdad:
April 5, 2003
"Nobody came here. Those America losers, I think their repeated frequent lies are bringing them down very rapidly.... Baghdad is secure, is safe."

April 5, 2003
"They are not near Baghdad. Don't believe them.... They said they entered with... tanks in the middle of the capital. They claim that they - I tell you, I... that this speech is too far from the reality. It is a part of this sickness of their plan. There is no an... - no any existence to the American troops or for the troops in Baghdad at all."

April 6, 2003
"Whenever we attack, they retreat. When we pound them with missiles and heavy artillery, they retreat even deeper. But when we stopped pounding, they pushed to the airport for propaganda purposes."

April 7, 2003
"The Americans are not there. They're not in Baghdad. There are no troops there. Never. They're not at all."

April 7, 2003
"U.S. forces learned a lesson last night they will never forget. We slaughtered them and will continue to slaughter them."

April 7, 2003
"There is no presence of American infidels in the city of Baghdad."

With Media Pictures of U.S. Troops Being Shown Standing Under the Giant Crossed Swords in Saddam's Favorite Parade Grounds in Baghdad, While Giving a Press Briefing Around the Corner:
"There you can see, there is nothing going on."

After U.S. Missiles Destroyed His Office in the Information Ministry and He was Forced to Give Press Briefings on the Street:
"They will be burnt. We are going to tackle them."

Disputing His Own Assertions of No Coalition Troops in Baghdad:
"We blocked them inside the city. Their rear is blocked.... They pushed a few of their armored carriers and some tanks with their soldiers. We besieged them and I think we will finish them soon."

While American Soldiers Are Showering in Saddam's Bathroom Nearby Presidential Palace:
"We have killed most of the infidels, and I think we will finish off the rest soon."

After Being Shown Footage of Iraqi Soldiers Surrendering:
"Those are not Iraqi soldiers at all."

April 7, 2003
"This invasion will end in failure."



And Ms Clintons campaign will end in failure just as surely. It is just a matter of when not how.

2. Yep, I believe that is what Mr Richardson said to Ms Clinton when he called her to let her.....
know about his endorsement of Mr Obama. he said many people have found it difficult when they have had to have that conversation with her, that it was time to drop out.

6. 30 million debt free after expenses, plus 7.3 for the general. Talk about money management
Says alot for an administration that can keep its ducks in a row in its campaign first.

9. The GE donations are lock boxed........
She got a bump in fund raising around the end of January when she was carrying 12 million in debt, 5 to herself and 7 million outstanding, but with her curent spending and the fundraising not maintaining the outgoing and many of her donators hitting limits she is actually in the red at this point to continue.

Thats why its a gamble, just like the last chip shot in vegas, not good odds.

10. Yea
and this hilarious Tuzla sniper story brings back memories of Bagdad Bob.

I can't believe the media isn't running with this story. I can hear the late nite comedians already.

Lack of media attention may lend credibility to her account.

I'll hold off... :rofl:...until this "whopper jr." is oficially debunked.

This primary would be sad if not so funny!

11. Isn't this also the reason that she cannot be a VP nominee
she would be legally compelled to use that money for the GE.

If she is not on the ticket she can use it for other expenses


Is that right?
