#1 Carter and Gore to end Clinton bid

Why all the machinations? If those two really want Hillary out, they should just endorse her.

#2 If it were any other pair of politicians, I'd call this a case of somebody using their names to jostle the Clinton campaign & get them off-balance. With that craven hypocrite Carter involved? Even odds this is a valid feeler. He's always had less sense than a rabid squirrel.

#3 The donks are scared shitless about having a convention this year. What the hell scares them so bad about putting it to a vote? Are they going to try to declare BHO president half way through October?

#4 The campaign to force Clinton to make an early exit is being masterminded in Congress

I'm glad to see they are at least busy at something.

#5 Two losers and con artists backing a politician with no experience to push out a blackmail expert.

Sounds like a match made in heaven.

#6 What the hell is it with these democrat ex-president, ex-vice-president types (Carter, Gore, Clinton)? They're all living in some dream world where they're still relevant. Get a clue - nobody gives a sh*t! STFU.

#7 Yeah? And when Hilly tells 'em to go piss up a rope, what will they do?

#11 This has got to be a friggin opinion piece. There is not one sourced reference in the entire thing. Gore and Carter ARE NO LONGER RELEVANT! Hillary would no more listen to these two asshats than she would Karl Rove. Cripe, who makes this shit up?

#12 Gore and Jimmy will have to pry her cold dead hands from the drapes she is fitting for the Whitehouse.

#13 What the hell scares them so bad about putting it to a vote?

I can' figure this out either. Yeah, it'll be acrimonious: that's politics, people.

A while back an Arab blogger (Egyptian, I think) expressed indignation that Hillary didn't gracefully step aside and make way for the Manifest Future of the Democratic Party. I laughed out loud.

Now, some Egyptian shmoe has an excuse for not knowing how democracy is done. Don't know what Gore and Carter's excuse is.

#14 At the rate things are going, I expect the Manifest Destiny of the Democratic Party will be banging around in the Dustbin of History for some time to come.

#16 NEWSMAX > DE BORCHGRAVE - 44th PRESIDENT WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH UNPREDICTABLE TERRORISTS. The threat of Islamism as coupled or affected by DECLINING WORLD RESOURCES + Islam's need for a MARTIN LUTHER KING, or better yet a MARTIN LUTHER, to induce and lead VITAL = BADLY NEEDED, LONG OVERDUE REFORMS WITHIN ISLAM.

* TOPIX > THE FLAME OF DEMOCRACY IS SLOWLY DYING OUT, vv AUTHORITARIANISM due to pan-Moderates + Democractists' alleged failure to halt or contain the ISLAMIST THREAT + vari WORLD PROBS.

* TOPIX again > TOP DPRK OFFICIAL: THE REUNIFICATION OF THE KOREAN PENISULA CAN NO LONGER BE POSTPONED; + NORTH KOREA VOWS WILL NOT WORK WITH NEW SOUTH KOREA/ROK GOVERNMENT; + ASIA: TALKING PEACE WHILE PREPARING FOR WAR. NORTH KOREA - Officio vows NOKOR will not accept and will continue to resist the influence of the US-West both in Seoul = SOKOR Govt + Asia.

IMO NOKOR has only three scenarios/options:
1. Accede to the collective or unified demands of the Six-Party Talks, including the proposed US-NK Nuclear Declaration.
2. The USA will PC covertly allow NOKOR to dev indigenous NUCLEAR WEAPONS as a NK bargaining chip agz US-World [SSSHHHH, read - CHINA]. Prob is SOKOR-JAPAN, etc. tolerance for this [read- TRUST OF PYONGYANG + CHIN LACK OF MIL RESPONSE OUTSIDE OF NK].
3. NOKOR willfully initiates a MUTUALLY DESTRUCTIVE, ALL-OUT ATTACK AGZ SOKOR + USFK/UNC, etc. IN THE HOPES OF A INDUCING A US-CHINA CONFLICT IN WHICH CHINA WILL LOSE = OTHERWISE FORCED TO GIVE UP CONTROL = SUZERAINTY OVER NOKOR.
