I&#8217;d always wondered how Democrats get away with that stuff. We have pictures today all over the internet of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myfoxny.com\/myfox\/pages\/News\/Detail?contentId=5538846&#038;version=1&#038;locale=EN-US&#038;layoutCode=VSTY&#038;pageId=3.2.1\">Hillary addressing a congregation<\/a> in Harlem.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"r2727398015.jpg\" id=\"image1120\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/r2727398015.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/ap\/20080120\/ap_on_el_pr\/democrats_blacks_2\">Obama talking to a congregation<\/a> in Atlanta<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"capt.bb25108dcbde492cad03c9a748229847.obama_2008_gaca109.jpg\" id=\"image1121\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/01\/capt.bb25108dcbde492cad03c9a748229847.obama_2008_gaca109.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">On Sunday, no less. If a Republican campaigned from the pulpit, or if a preacher campaigned for a Republican, the outcry would bring down satellites. And the Leftist blogs would be screaming about the christianist conspiracies that threaten to make us live with consequences of our actions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">But that&#8217;s not all. I was reading at Newsbusters about Chris Mathew&#8217;s show yesterday (cuz, lord knows I can&#8217;t watch the damn thing anymore) and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/newsbusters.org\/blogs\/tim-graham\/2008\/01\/22\/top-time-editor-lauds-bill-clinton-michael-jordan-politics\">Tim Graham quoted<\/a> Mathews&#8217; pre-station break teaser;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Chris Matthews previewed that chat: &#8220;When we come back, Republicans already have an unpopular war to run on. Now it looks like a recession.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">Now, I remember the tech-bubble bursting in March 2000, but I don&#8217;t remember Mathews, or anyone else claiming there was a recession that we could blame on Bill Clinton (even though it was Clinton&#8217;s Justice Department who burst the bubble with their lawsuit against Microsoft).<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In fact, up until this point, the only month of negative growth in the GDP we&#8217;ve had was less than two months after President Bush took office. It takes two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth to qualify as a recession &#8211; but Mathews has called one after two negative stock market sessions.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">And while we&#8217;re on the subject of getting passes, what the Hell is Bill Clinton doing campaigning for his ex-girlfriend? If George HW Bush had campaigned for his son against Gore to the degree that Bill Clinton has campaigned for his wife, the Democrats and the media would be calling it &#8220;unseemly&#8221; for an ex president to be campaigning.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Clinton is spending so much time campaigning for the Queen that Obama is confused about who he&#8217;s running against (<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.libertypundit.com\/2008\/01\/22\/obama-and-clinton-represent-the-party-of-change-right\/\">Link to Liberty Pundit<\/a>);<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\">As Obama tried to defend his recent comments about Republican ideas and Ronald Reagan, Clinton interrupted and said she has never criticized his remarks on Reagan.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Your husband did,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Obama, who has accused the former president of misrepresenting his record.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m here.
