There's a slip...

Posted: Friday, March 28, 2008 1:31 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Think this will make Jon Stewart?

Clinton supporter Joe Sestak was on with NBC's Andrea Mitchell during the 1 pm MSNBC hour, and slipped in one response. Mitchell asked him if he was concerned that if this fight goes to convention that it could tear apart the party.

Sestak replied that he's not, that he's confident that if Obama were to lose the nomination, he'd turn around and say, "Support her." And if Clinton were to lose the nomination, she would turn around and say, "Support me."

Whoops.

Shaking his head, Sestak quickly corrected: "Support him."

We know what he meant, but still funny.

Asked what Hillary would say if Obama won the nomination, Chelsea responded, "THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!"
Hah! That wasn't a slip, he said exactly what he meant to say.
What happened to the party that wanted every vote to count?  Obama has stopped any agreements to have Florida and Michigan's votes count.  He is not concerned about the Party, he only wants to win.  Everyone likes to say that Hillary is ambitious and will do anything to win, I beg to differ.  Obama is calculating and has shown his true colors - and they certainly are not red, white and blue!  As far as the so-called top Democratic leaders - Leahy - who way for Hillary to quit the race - shame on you.  Hillary is not a quitter and that's why she will be a great President of the United States.  These "top" Democratic leaders are in the process of leading Democratic voters straight to an Independent Party.  I, for one, will be changing to Independent come Fall.  I don't have to choose between Obama and McCain, candidates that pose grave danger to our country.  I will also write-in Clinton.  Go Hillary!!!
Poor Admiral Sestak.  He keeps getting marched out to look like a fool on Sen. Clinton's behalf.  Being in the military I know that he hates having to cover for her lie of being under sniper-fire in Bosnia.  I know you owe Bill for your commission but where's your pride man?
Oh, we know what we MEANT to say, of course, he MEANT to say she'd support Obama,

but sometimes, the subconscious serves as a better guide when you're talking to politicians.  Those little slips can be -very- insiteful haha
Hillary seems to be running for the position of John McCain's vice presidential running mate, now.
The nation owes Hillary Clinton the Presidency. Can we just stop voting and sworn her in tomorrow? Since we are at it can we remove the term limit and give Clintons the monarchy of America which they can pass onto their future generations. Imagine 100 years later the Iraq will invade US to free American people from the Clintons.
To All Obama and Clinton supporters:

As a loyal Obama supporter, I find it quite sickening that both Obama and Clinton supporters are threatening not to support our nominee in the general election.

I understand the bad feelings and animosity, I do. But the threats to not support the nominee in the end of this thing is just plan STUPID. To those making such threats, I ask: do you care anything about the situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, and the rest of the world? Do you care about fellow Americans losing their jobs and their homes at an alarming rate? Do you care that our dollar is becoming increasingly weak? Right now, THOSE are our biggest problems. McCain will do NOTHING to fix those problems. So I encourage you all to spend some time thinking about the consequences of perhaps millions of Democrats handing the White House over to McSame for no other reason than having their feelings hurt.

It's stupid. Admit it. And then, grow up and stop perpetuating such insanely irresponsible threats.
I can give you a reason Hillary's people will not vote for Obama.  At this point - it's not the man himself as much as it is the rabid, zealot and offensive supporters that I read on these blogs. You're oblivous to the fact that in popular votes the race is close to being equal -- Obama has never been given any mandate by the Democratic voters.  Yet you act like he has.  Remember that almost 50% of the democrats choose someone else.  And we have good reason to believe that a lot of Obama's Republican "converts" have voted in our Primary  to skew our results.
The Democratic Party is getting ready to lose the Presidential election at this rate.  I've voted Democratic in every Presidential election since 1972 but I may sit this one out this year.  Obama will lose and then we can wait another 4 years to get a Democratic candidate that is electible.
No candidate is bigger than the party. This is the attitude that got Clinton in trouble in the first place. Clinton being in her current position is of her own making totally self inflicted because she took to much for granite and thought she would have this all wrapped up by super Tue. without earning it.Don't balme OBAMA for her teams warped thinking and advice. And for all you people talking about voting for Mccain if Hillliary looses good for you get lost we don't need you anyway. Jump ship now, SO WE CAN REPLACE YOU DEAD WOOD PEOPLE while we replace you with those who wants to see real change in this country. You will be replaced and we will be stronger and still win, while you continue to complain and pout like the child you are. I wonder why life suck for you angry people, no I don't wonder I know ,it's because you continue the insanity of making stupid decisions and blaming everyone else for your problems.
Leaving the democratic party just because Hilliary loses I wish you continued misery.
A SLIP OF THE TONGUE --- HAS SIGNIFICANT PSYCHOLOGICAL CAUSES --- IN THIS CASE ????
The only cult like following is to honestly bleive that Hillary by doing the math can win.  Now to win by claiming and supporitng the unelectalbity of Obama is her only path.  A more healing path is after the Penn primary for her to suspend her campaign but remain on the ballot an see if Obama stumbles. Hillary when then be able to be the option.  Her current course is one Gen. Sherman would of admired " Slash and Burn" her way to the nomination at any and all costs.
To the people that say that it is Obama's campaign that is stopping the Fl. and Mi. got be real. Stop listening to the lies being told by the Clinton Campaign. They are saying  this because they think they will get sympathy votes from all of the remaining states if they do.They do not give a darn about those states it, just like all of the other lies being told by the the Clinton campaign. Northern Ireland Peace treaty , S-CHIP , Bosnia bullet dip ,will be independant fruedian slip. I did not hae sex with that woman. OOps last one not from the Campaign no that was from the highest office .So I say BULL SNIP.   By the way McCain is not  Bush3 it is a Bush 3 with  heavier interest in WAR .BOMB BOMB BOMB   bomb bomb Iran .MY god if you Hillary people do that to this country because your Candidate is not nominated then you are trully sick.The sad part about McCain is that he does not want war for profit . He just wants War so he can get those bombing targets that those civilian idiots didn't let him get. John , John , John wake up bombing everything wont work either.
