AS runs around like Chicken Little, putting up the politics of FEAR over Hillary Clinton.
EMBRACING "HOPE" BY THREATENING THE DEMS IF THEY DON'T - HUH?
It takes two to polarize! ...
Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
With every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is no partner for Hope. Too bad.
According to AS, the Clinton's have a "bunkered" mentality.Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
With every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is no partner for Hope. Too bad.
Those with honesty and a long memory, remember that Bill Clinton did NOT come to Washington with a bunker mentality. He literally changed the song of the Democratic party to "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow".
Along the way, they started to get stuffed, first by the "small government conservatives", i.e. AS lookalikes, and then by their own party (Senator Sam Nunn comes to mind, on a number of issues).
NO PARTNER FOR 'HOPE'
ANDREW SULLIVAN, NOT WORTHY OF THE HOPE THAT OBAMA OFFERS?
No where is the "bargain" that the small government conservatives are forcing the rest of us to swallow more clear in his paint of Hillary as "polarizing". ARRRRRG!
It takes two to polarize! Ignoring that Hillary might be polarizing for the right reasons, let the small government conservatives show that they can drop their own partisanship and give her a chance. What's this schoolyard nonsense that the Dems have to do it first? Put another way, "Hope" needs a partner and is not conditional. Only people looking for change on the cheap demand others to change, before they do it themselves.
Put that way, with every stroke of the pen, AS reveals that there is truly no partner for Hope. Too bad.
THE REST - ANDREW SULLIVAN WRESTLES WITH HIS 'BOOGEY MAN'
- Hillary is a "machine" and 'we' need ANGER (the product of FEAR, not Hope) to defeat her.
- Hillary is a "core" narcissist
- Hillary accepts endorsements ("cards") from unions, without earning them (even as Obama gets the Nevada Culinary Workers endorsement).
- Hillary is polarizing and causing depression
- Hillary represents cheap identity politics
- Hillary's strategies are "infuriating" [?] and will benefit McCain [who isn't?]
- Hillary's "temperament" isn't sufficient to being President [Nixon's was? Reagan's?]
- Update: Hillary's husband is a real lout - "tacky" and without "class" [yeah, a real Billy Carter ... if you are born with a bogus "small-government conservative" playbook in your hands, it's hard to escape it?]
