Hillary In Trouble?
I’ve said all along that Hillary would likely win the Democratic nomination. After reading Rasmussen’s poll, I’m rethinking my position on that. Simply put, Hillary has gone into full panic mode after she bungled the NY drivers license question.
Since then, she’s added to her troubles by accusing Obama of having had presidential ambitions…in Kindergarten.
New York Senator Hillary Clinton’s lead over Illinois Senator Barack Obama in South Carolina’s Presidential Primary has disappeared. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of the race shows Clinton with 36% of the vote while Obama is the top choice for 34% of the state’s Likely Primary Voters. A month ago, Clinton had a ten-point advantage. In September, the former First Lady was up by thirteen points.
Hillary’s lead in Iowa was never big. Now it’s disappeared. Her lead in New Hampshire was big, too. Now it’s at 6 points. Now she’s lost her big lead in South Carolina.
I think Hillary’s desperation has been showing for quite some time. Her vitriolic attacks on Obama are predictable. That’s what Clintons do when they’re in trouble. Obama was prepared for Hillary’s attacks, even setting up a website highlighting her attacks.

Proper analysis can only be done with an absence of emotion

Does it really matter which socialist the donkeys put up? He, or she, will still be a socialist whose prime objective will be to overtax any productive worker and/or company, and to make everyone equally miserable.
And Mr. Ryan, proper analysis can only be done by accepting facts as facts, not theories as facts. The biggest problem I have seen with liberal analyses is the use of theory as fact.

pssst! Speaking of facts, theres some indication that well educated and upscale liberal women are also turning off to Hillary. Seems they’ve grown a bit attached to their high 5 and 6 figure incomes that Hillary can’t wait to tax out of existance.

One of the wonders of our drive toward socialism is that so many “rich” folk are so supportive of it, like the majority of those in LA-LA Land. ‘Course, they probably figure their incomes will be protected because they’re “artists”, but they don’t think far enough ahead to realize if the folks can’t afford $15 tickets their income is going to suffer! And I haven’t heard of too many of the elite, rich socialists willing to trade salaries with me, a po’ country boy.
It’s probably because they think their money will buy them all the “equality” in a socialism they need.
I know a bunch of drunks that have similar thought processes, too.

O.C. attorney pleads guilty to molesting teens
The former aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher says he met one boy on the Internet and lived with the family of the other.

A Ladera Ranch attorney and former congressional aide pleaded guilty Wednesday to molesting two teenage boys. In exchange for the plea, authorities said, Jeffrey Ray Nielsen, 37, is expected to be sentenced April 18 to three years in state prison.
“It was time to settle these cases,” Nielsen’s attorney, Paul Meyer, said.
Nielsen, a former aide to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Huntington Beach) who has also worked for Orange County GOP Chairman Scott Baugh, was arrested in 2003. Westminster police had found thousands of images of child pornography on his home computer, laptop and a computer at his Costa Mesa law office.
Prosecutors contended that Nielsen had met the 14-year-old victim on a gay Internet site and driven the boy to his Ladera Ranch condominium, where the two engaged in oral sex.
They did the same thing on two additional occasions over the next four weeks, prosecutors said. The boy, a high school freshman, told a friend who alerted school authorities.
A jury was unable to reach a verdict in the case earlier this year.
Later, however, Nielsen confessed, and the Orange County district attorney’s office obtained additional evidence from two of his former roommates. Prosecutors also filed charges involving a 13-year-old they said Nielsen had molested repeatedly while living at the boy’s family’s Virginia home in 1994.
Nielsen will remain free on $10,000 bail until his sentencing, authorities said.
Nielsen’s father, Ben, is a former Fountain Valley mayor.
