The Conservative Case For Voting Hillary (In the Primary)

Posted on February 7, 2008

Why? Because there isn’t a conservative to get motivated about in the race anyway, and she will be easier to unite against in the general. That’s the logic behind it.

Here is Rush Limbaugh explaining.

Update: A little more explanation. This wasn’t meant to be advocating anyone to vote Hillary in the general…just the primary. The logic being that since there isn’t a motivating conservative to vote for, that perhaps we could help the most hated liberal in an attempt to unite conservatives to vote AGAINST a candidate in the general.

Sorry but that is purely insane.

There are many men and women running to replace known dhimmis, RINOs and socialists in the Lower House this year and to abandon them to prove a shallow point is a disservice to our Troops…me being one of them and my son now serving in Iraq.

Giving the country to Leninist Hillary and Marxist Barak to “show the GOP” is unforgivable.

The battle ground is in Congress.

Get over it and as we say in the USArmy, Embrace the Suck. If our troops can do that for US, we can do that for them.

Snooper, I think you missed the point. I will update the post to keep others from the same confusion. By no means is anyone suggesting to vote Hillary in the general. The logic is that she is easier to beat in the general, so since we don’t have a good conservative…vote for the easiest to beat Democrat in the primaries. That way, the sucky republican has a better chance of beating the Democrat because she is hated so much. The hate of her would unite people. See?

In other words, it is advocating the embrace of the suck.

Hey, I voted for Barack Hussein Obama in the primary on Tuesday for the same reason you’re saying to vote for Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton in the primary: to set up the weaker candidate to oppose the GOP nominee in November.

Same idea, different results.

Darn it, us conservatives can’t seem to get together on anything this year, can we?

So you think Obama is the weaker candidate? Why so? We have a history of hate with Hillary. Obama is new and has the youth motivated behind him. Against McCain it would be young change vs. Old same.

Obama is a flash in the pan. He has no experience and will be easily exposed for what he is: a fraud.

He’s nothing but an MTV candidate, and the attention span of his supporters will waver when they see a shiny penny or some other such nonsense.

I still think Hillary will be the nominee. But prolonging the race drains her money and will allow the Democrats to beat each other up. Like Reagan did to Ford in 1976, Kennedy did to Carter in 1980, and Buchanan did to Bush in 1992.

Its an argument of youthful JFK change vs. old insider experience. If Hillary wins that argument you’ll have conservatives unite in hate against her, and it will be two experienced candidates fighting. If Obama wins, you’ll have the Democrats unite behind youthful change. It will be the anti-war, youthful change candidate vs. the pro-war, old insider. If Hillary loses, I think McCain will too.

I don’t think Obama has his daddy to help steal an election.

This whole JFK thing is, in my mind, way overblown.

As liberal as Hillary is, Obama is even more so. Particularly on Iraq.

I can’t imagine that any conservative with one eye and half sense would vote for Obama, or stay home and let the MTV kids vote him into office.

Didn’t you pay attention to what happened in Georgia?
Basil on February 7th, 2008 10:00 pm

In Georgia? Yeah, they had more vote in the Democratic primary than in the GOP primary. As is common.

And, I think, in the general election, Georgia will stay in the GOP camp. As is common. And like 1996 and 1964, two big GOP losses.

I also voted for Obama in my states primary, the obviously weaker candidate. Obama is a media creation and nothing more. He has no experience and will be easier to beat come November.

I thought we were all on the same page with this one?

Jay…thanks for the clarification…for a minute or two I thought ya’ll lost your marbles like Ann C did! WHEW!!

I ain’t happy one bit about McLame and never have been since his apparent melt down in 2000. Prior to that he was acceptable but, you know the rest.

I’m all better now. I cannot believe how many ARE saying to let the country go to either Hillary or Barak. Simply amazing.
