Bill Clinton Rule in ‘04: Vote for Candidate of ‘Hope’ Not ‘Fear’

Oct. 2004: "One of Clinton's laws of politics is, if one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes. You better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope." See related video below for Sen. Hillary Clinton's new campaign ad: ‘It’s 3 a.m. and Your Children are Safe and Asleep’

Say anything to get elected. The Clintons are such a joke. They’ll talk out of all 4 sides of their mouths. Shrillary is constantly suing and using the courts to change the votes- Las Vegas, Texas, whats next? They are sickening.

Enough – I’m voting for Monica Lewinsky’s boyfriends’ wife.

There’s an old saying “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.”

I think it’s naive to “hope” that terrorist don’t bomb my local mall, sports arena, school etc. I think you have to prepare for the worst. If you want to characterize that as “fear,” so be it.

[...] Video flashback from 2004.  Bill Clinton:”If one candidate is appealing to your fears and the other one is appealing to your hopes…” You know where that’s going. Ahem. Clearly these were not carved in stone. [...]

Bubba Joe Johnson   February 29th, 2008 - 7:47 pm

It seems to me Hillary is using fear, just like her husband (in name only) used it during his run for the money in 1992 and 1996. Democrats say the Republicans resort to fear, but it’s the Democrats that wrote the book. Where do you think Carl Rove got his playbook? It was from the Clintons.

Ken   February 29th, 2008 - 9:10 pm

Quick Obama, Put a tv ad together showing the phone ringing unanswered in the white house and Billy boy getting a BJ. Plus Slicks speach about voting for hope.

Ok, to Hell with the constitution!

Barack Obama/Bill Clinton 08!!

Mike   February 29th, 2008 - 11:50 pm

I will just be honest here and say how I feel. If Bill was able to run right now I would be voting for him tuesday here in Ohio and not for Obama. But Hill ain’t Bill and Bill ain’t Hill so there for Im for Obama.

Obama 08

ozymandias888   March 1st, 2008 - 12:35 am

Hope and Fear. I think we are going to see the Clintons hoping Obama is defeated by McCain so she can have another shot in 2012, and fearing he will win and be a successful President, thus putting her up in 2016 after eight years of Democratic rule and voter exhaustion with the Democrats.

I SO want to sing, “Ding, Dong, the Witch is Dead!”, but Hillary won’t go down without a fight. (Just ask philanderer Bill.)

NEW – on YOUTUBE “OBAMA SONG PORTRAIT: WE ARE THE CHANGE by Bjarne O.”

As the composer, Bjarne O., writes:

“I combined Latino Rhythms, Chinese Erhu, African- and Native-American Voices with the Contemporary Symphonic Orchestra – in the great spirit of Unity – for this Song in support of Obama’s great and true message: “Our Time Has Come; We the People are the Change we’ve all been waiting for. We are the Hope for the Future – YES WE CAN.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCQYTu8u7Sg

CHECK IT OUT – AND SPREAD THE WORD

YES WE CAN – ALL OF US TOGETHER

OUR TIME HAS COME…

Sorry about the miss-spells, got a call in the middle and lost my trend of thought.. But, hope everyone gets my point.

Pete   March 1st, 2008 - 12:54 am

This video is just pure win for Obama.

Ananke   March 1st, 2008 - 1:04 am

Fear and hope are more than just words–they are the reality we choose to live. Not one of the candidates (tight or left) offer anything other than the status quo.

Politics aside, if you really want change, you have to begin with yourself. Do you live in fear of the unknowns the future holds?
Or do you really have hope that the future shines brighter?

Tex Taylor   March 1st, 2008 - 1:20 am

If the American public had only taken Bill Clinton’s good advice, we wouldn’t have had to worry about Bill Clinton being President in 1992 and 1996.

The mantra of the Dimocratic party is “fear” and some nebulous meme about “ready for change.”

flojo   March 1st, 2008 - 1:30 am

Wasn’t it bill clinton who didn’t “answer the phone” at 3 a.m. because he was talking to monica lewinsky? And, how about those early morning tapes that Gennifer Flowers talking to clinton that is is now selling?
Don’t fall for this…and do NOT fall for this “don’t vote for hope”. We hoped he and hillary would give us health care and what did we get? Nothing. We “hoped” he’d keep us safe and what did we get? He ignored 4 terrorist attacks during his 8 yrs. The USS Cole is just now coming back to duty after they were attacked. I HOPE the clintons go away, FOREVER!!

alreds   March 1st, 2008 - 1:43 am

If the Clintons steal the nomination from Senator Obama I will not vote for them. The Clintons should realize by now that at least half of the country despises Mrs. Clinton and wish they would go away. These are enough reasons to get out of Senator’s Obama way.

chucka-chucka   March 1st, 2008 - 4:10 am

love to watch hillary (as newt would say) withering on the vine

linda   March 1st, 2008 - 7:33 am

Bill would not be able to answer the phone ..he would be out and busy staining dresses………….and if Hillary answered the phone at 3 am her first though would be OH NO Bill unzipped his trousers again and hoping that he did not leave any DNA this time ?????

I do not admire Hillary for staying with him …..She must have real low self esteem and this would ome through in her leadership >mistrustfull of all men

Linda   March 1st, 2008 - 7:35 am

You are right about the court papers…..where oh where are her ‘06 tax returns I will pick them up from her accountant if that will make it easier for her……………..

mollie   March 1st, 2008 - 7:50 am

Hillary does NOT INSPIRE. Hillary does NOT represent true CHANGE in Washington. Hillary does NOT want the American people to have a voice in our country. Don’t worry …she and Bill know what’s best for us.

If she had a fraction of the talents and intelligence that Obama has you can bet she would declare from the roof tops that THOSE talents would make HER the very best candidate. She is very envious of Obama and it shows.

BTW, If Hillary get the Dem. nomination, I will vote for McCain…as will all of my friends . If Obama gets nomination, we’ll vote for him. He can beat McCain. (Demographic group is white women over 40!)

PS Bill Clinton is an insult to women. Where are the “feminist” groups speaking out abt. how he has and continues to disgrace women?

anybodybutClinton   March 1st, 2008 - 7:50 am

Hillary, it’s over and you have Billy Boy to blame for your unfortunate life over the last several decades. Bow out, divorse the philanderer as you so must want to do, get half of his millions and try to live a happy life. How much misery are you supposed to endure?

sup   March 1st, 2008 - 8:13 am

I have to say, it is amazing to FINALLY see so many liberals seeing the Clintons for what they really are, after all these years of defending them against the Republicans, who have been saying the same stuff about the Clintons for many years, all the stuff that these anti-Hillary liberals are saying now.

While it is great to see, it is just another example of how liberals lie and say anything and defend anyone they like. So it’s great, and pathetic at the same time.

sup   March 1st, 2008 - 8:23 am

Tex Taylor you are 100% correct. The dem (dim) party has ALWAYS been about fear. Remember how low they can go, like those automated Edward Asner phone calls to elderly citizens, trying to scare them into voting their way.

Democrats are nothing but a disgraceful, shameless joke.

Reginamae   March 1st, 2008 - 8:30 am

Bill & Hill should be forced to eat their words. The Clintons want o find any dirt on Obama, yet there are volumes of court papers, investigations and books written on these two that she be mandatory reading for anyone with even a pea-brain thinking about voting for these 2 again.

Felix   March 1st, 2008 - 9:28 am

I never thought I would get pure pleasure from watching someone die a slow death, but in the case of HRC it is quite enjoyable to watch and listen to this Socialist B***h self distruct herself. And the best part is she actually thinks it’s her path to power.

RT   March 1st, 2008 - 12:14 pm

Neither candidate can win the general election. Americans, by large majority, reject socialism as a form of government for our country. Socialism robs the human spirit and desire to be independent.

Albino Alligator   March 1st, 2008 - 5:13 pm

Learn about the real hillary from someone who was her close advisor. Shure he hates her, but he knows her best, read his latest posting on her
” The clintons just won’t learn ” posted Feb 29 at
http://www.dickmorris.com He is her greatest critic, but he tells the truth, from having been their.

Greg Neubeck   March 1st, 2008 - 7:06 pm

How many more times will poor Hillary play the “victim card” before we can post the RIP sign over the Clintons? The most noteworthy commentary in the recent Obama/Clinton Austin debate was Hillary’s closing comment. A subtle and exceedingly well choreographed re-play of the “victim card” which has thus far been so eminently successful for her. Still again holding back the tears, Hillary inferred that she was the most qualified to be Commander-In-Chief because she “had been tested” by the public humiliation that she was forced to endure with the forced admission of Bill’s Monica caper. The unfortunate truth is that in the absence of the astute retention of the infamous “blue dress”, Hillary would have led the savaging-brigade against Monica precisely as she had done against Jennifer Flowers, Juanita Broderick, Paula Jones, Kathleen Wiley, etc., etc.. Of course, the by-invitation-only audience took the bait “hook, line and sinker”.
The real question is do we want Hillary, the serial enabler, and Bill, the serial groper, to once again have the opportunity to scandalize the White House and the Presidency? Greg Neubeck

The curtain has come down on the Hillary vaudeville act. She should take slick willy and go off into the sunset

I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message.

Madge Owens   March 2nd, 2008 - 12:20 am

I cannot believe how many gullible and stupid people are swallowing this Obama bilge. I have to laugh really, because it is utterly unbelievable. The man stands for everything anti American and detrimental to all of us…..he is for socialized medicine……..there is nothing wrong with the health care in this country its the best in the world and yet they want to allow this stupid little dork ruin it for everyone….well fine….lets all sit back and watch how this little Hussein Obama f***s up the country and then the Republicans who decide to go back to being Conservative will have a clear runway to clean up the mess! God help us all, the enemy is watching these clowns!

Ed   March 2nd, 2008 - 6:40 am

Clinton’s ONLY rule of politics: “The rules don’t apply to us”. Typical of arrogant liberals who are better than the rest of us.

R.N.R.   March 2nd, 2008 - 8:46 am

Hope, change,the future,hope,we can do it? That the best he’s got?!!? This guys as hollow as a chocolate Easter bunny. Thump him with your finger,theres nothing IN there.Bumper sticker slogans won’t save us from killers. And I agree Madge, our health system works good for me. See ya Willy………

William   March 2nd, 2008 - 1:27 pm

I would never vote for Hillary. I don’t care who her opponent is.

Bro Russ   March 2nd, 2008 - 1:47 pm

I am getting a real kick out of reading such statements as “there is nothing wrong with our healthcare system”, and all this paranoid ranting about socialism. Some of you people need to educate yourselves. Read the latest research regarding the quality of life in various countries around the world. You do not live in the country with highest quality of life or the best healthcare system any more. Unfortunately, until you lose your job, your healthcare benefits, and/or your giant gas-guzzling urban assault vehicle, you will continue to remain willfully ignorant about that. You will continue to go to your mega-churches and have some blowdried loudmouth tell you everything will be OK as long as you keep sending your kids to war and voting against gay marriage and abortion. You get your prosperity now and get to go to snuggle with Jesus later. Well, it’s not going to be OK. It’s going to be a long hard fight to rebuild America after all these years of incompetence and corruption, so either lead, follow, or get the f*** out of the way, hillbillies.

Jenny   March 2nd, 2008 - 6:31 pm

Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY VOTE IS FOR OBAMA.

Christina   March 2nd, 2008 - 8:59 pm

look how well it worked against the republicans in ‘04

Bro Russ   March 2nd, 2008 - 9:27 pm

I think the majority of Americans are waking up to the fact that fear has been used as a weapon against them for the last 6 years. Only fear can make people sit by idly as their basic privacy and Constitutional rights are systematically chipped away. Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden remains a free man, probably in Pakistan, the Taliban is regaining its hold in Afghanistan, and despite all the phony talk about the War On Drugs and the War on Terror, Afghanistan is enjoying its biggest opium crops yet, with American military craft helping to fly the harvest out, and many of the customers being in the USA. Fear has been used to silence dissent and ratchet up the police state, while the US borders remain porous, the airport security is still incompetent, and Bush remains in bed with the Arabs. People are waking up and choosing hope over fear. My biggest “fear” is that we may be too late.

J   March 2nd, 2008 - 10:59 pm

David,

Your theory of “Hope for the best, prepare for the worst” was precisely what gave us 8 years of lunacy. There is nothing mutually exclusive about hope and preparation as Barack has shown in spades.

To the extent you are a Hillary supporter please tell me how your candidate will be a successful manager given she couldn’t even manage to successfully manage a political campaign, let alone a nation.
