Hillary Clinton under fire in South Carolina for being 'old, white and rich'
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK]
  • 'Freedom Summit' speakers bring heavy anti-Clinton artillery to Greenville, South Carolina
    "We come to bury Hillary, not to praise her!"
  • Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal wondered aloud if Hillary Clinton
    ... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another Henry L. Stimson ...
    would use 're-education camps' to force Christians to change their views on abortion
    I'm against abortion--but by about 51 percent. There are arguments in its favor, some of which are valid. But unrestricted use of coat hangers through term is evil. I suspect most people feel about it approximately the way I do, lots of people being in favor of abortion by about 51 percent. We can argue over at what point a fetus becomes a baby; I suspect it's when Mom feels that first little kick, but that's just my personal opinion. But for God's sake, push the subject down the list of priorities in our political discourse! Compared to Islamism abortion approaches the point of "I don't much care" with me. Compared to the damage our economy's suffered under the B.O. regime it's a mere problem, not a way of life. Lots of times I think the systematic murder of unborn children gives the murderers what they deserve: an eventual guilty conscience and no one to love them when they're old.

    As for the "re-education camps," under a Hillary Clinton presidency I guess I would look for a spike in compulsory enrollments at Oberlin College and similar institutions of Higher Reeducation.

  • Female GOP pollster: 'The question isn't whether you want "a" woman to be president. It's whether you want "that" woman to be president'
    I think even hard-core Dems must be swinging around to "anyone but her" by now.
  • Rick Santorum
    ...unsuccessful candidate for president and former U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania. He was a lawyer before becoming the Representative for suburban Pittsburgh in 1991. He lost his Senate seat in 2006 to Bob Casey, a Democrat machine politician and political dynast. Santorum is a social conservative who thinks the rest of the country is, too...
    , a former senator, could only think of one nice thing to say to Hillary: 'Happy Mothers Day!'
    Santorum's a one-issue has-been. He should have the grace to sit out all further political campaigns. He'll be president one or two terms after I am.
  • Donald Trump spent 15 seconds trying to think of something nice to say about her, but couldn't
    The Donald is also approaching the point of being comic relief. Were there any real candidates there?

#1  Were there any real candidates there?

List of confirmed speakers.

One has to wonder why the UK Daily Mail deliberately reported only on the lightweights, the fringe candidates, and the one-notes. To get credibility with the US political elites? Polishing their media credentials prior to the US elections? To gain 'eyeballs' in general?

Apparently the latter objective worked.

Your taxpayer dollars at work: DoJ's Eric Holder tribute video.
[National Review] A video tribute to an AG held in Contempt of Congress. The ultimate stick-in-the-eye.

#1  Attorney General Eric Holder: The People's Lawyer

The People's Lawyer? Lawyer only for certain people.

#2  Sounds like the title for a Soviet Era film about a NKVD Magistrate.

#3  Eric "My People" Holder needs to be vacationing in Leavenworth for several years. It should be Fast because he makes me Furious.
