Sick of the MSM papers ignoring Ron Paul, and now they are going to use Bhutto's assassination to explain their rigged primaries!
Take a look who the Republican nominee should be, readers!
"Terror debate could alter dynamics of primaries; Giuliani and Clinton seen as benefiting" by Peter S. Canellos and Marcella Bombardieri, Globe Staff | December 28, 2007
Pfffffffffttttt!!!!
Also see: Benazir Bhutto Assassinated
DES MOINES - The presidential primary races, which had focused almost exclusively on domestic issues in recent weeks, yesterday shifted to a discussion of terrorism, leaving some campaigns wondering whether the crisis in Pakistan was the kind of unforeseen incident that could change expectations for the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses and beyond.
Voters view the candidates of both parties differently depending on whether the spotlight is on foreign or domestic policy. And the beneficiaries of a renewed focus on terrorism are clear, according to polls conducted late last month by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center: Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republicans John McCain and Rudolph Giuliani.
Yeah, keep shoveling that shit, MSM!
Except WE AIN'T EATIN' NO MORE!!!!!!
Giuliani, whose campaign appears to have been hurt in the polls when it has been centered on domestic issues, was the first candidate to release a statement after the assassination of former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto yesterday, linking her killing to the threat of terrorism against the United States.
Giuliani, the former New York mayor who has sought to reignite memories of the 9/11 attacks in the United States with his latest TV ad:
"Her death is a reminder that terrorism anywhere - whether in New York, Tel Aviv, or Rawalpindi - is an enemy of freedom. We must redouble our efforts to win the Terrorists' War on Us."
What a CUI BONO for Rudy, huh?
Over the past two days, Clinton and McCain have also released new TV ads citing the war on terrorism, indicating that they, too, wanted to shift the campaign agenda toward national security. Bhutto's slaying could keep the issue alive until next week's caucuses, analysts said.
That is just a LITTLE TOO COINCIDENTAL, no, readers?
CUI BONO?
University of New Hampshire presidential historian Ellen Fitzpatrick:
"It underscores the instability in the region. There's certainly nothing in this event that will make people feel like they live in a safer world."
Yeah, "terrorists" might assassinate YOU next, reader!
And while no one could confidently say whether voters would be thinking of terrorism at next Thursday's caucuses, all of the candidates addressed the issue on the stump yesterday.
On the Republican side, McCain, a former prisoner of war who has made military issues a focus of his two-decade Senate career, noting that he had met with Bhutto and President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan:
"I know the players, and I know best how to address this situation."
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, who is locked in a close battle with McCain in the Jan. 8 New Hampshire primary, stressed his own skills in analyzing information assembled by specialists.
Romney, in Manchester, New Hampshire:
"The president is not an expert. The president is a leader who guides America in making the important decisions which must be made to keep us safe."
The Republican candidate who is leading in most Iowa polls, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, spoke about Bhutto's death while campaigning in Florida. But when Huckabee appeared uncertain whether Pakistan was under martial law at the time of Bhutto's killing - it had been lifted two weeks ago - bloggers jumped on the apparent slip-up.
In polls, Huckabee is vulnerable on foreign policy. In the most recent Pew polls, released late last month, Huckabee was the candidate of choice for 24 percent of Iowans - but only 10 percent said he would be the best at fighting terrorism. Nationally, only 4 percent said Huckabee was tops on terrorism.
Giuliani led the GOP field on terrorism with 39 percent nationally, vs. McCain's 23 percent. Romney was only slightly higher than Huckabee, getting 5 percent nationally and 14 percent in Iowa.
Michael Dimock, associate director of the Pew Research Center:
"It's worth noting that Romney and Huckabee were supported by 25 and 24 percent, respectively, [in Iowa], so relative to how well they were running those are pretty poor numbers on terrorism."
Another GOP contender with relatively low terrorism ratings, former Tennessee senator Fred Thompson, told supporters in Urbandale, Iowa, yesterday that he has the experience to handle a crisis.
Thompson, not saying when the conversation occurred:
"When [Secretary of State] Condoleezza Rice needed somebody to talk to on international security, she called me."
Yup, even three-percent Freddy the Failure gets a nod in the Globe's shit-prop piece!
Among Democrats, Clinton held substantial leads nationally and in the early-voting states when the campaign was focused on foreign policy. Since then, she has fallen into tight races with Illinois Senator Barack Obama and former North Carolina senator John Edwards in Iowa, and with Obama in New Hampshire.
A foreign crisis plays into what she says is her prime advantage over Obama and Edwards - experience. And she consistently ranked first among the Democrats in fighting terrorism in the Pew polling, leading Obama by at least 10 percentage points nationally and in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Gee, Bhutto was a big CUI BONO for the GLOBALISTS, huh?
Campaigning in rural west Iowa yesterday, she called the world "unpredictable and often beyond our control."
Straight from the mouth of the Oklahoma and Waco baby-killer herself!!!!
She offered condolences to Bhutto's family, and later spoke of her personal friendship with the former Pakistani prime minister. She also sought to link the Pakistan crisis to other looming issues, both foreign and domestic.
Then she gets mad at Obama's campaign for doing the same thing!
What a SHITSCUM Ms. Hitlery is!!!
And they have FOOLEYED 'Murkns into thinking she is something she's not!!!!
She warned in a somber tone:
"Waiting on that president's desk in the Oval Office will be problems that are incredibly difficult, that present challenges to our leadership in the world, to our moral authority, to our economy, to the kind of society we are and want to be."
Edwards, for his part, said he spoke to Musharraf yesterday and urged him to continue the democratization process.
Obama offered condolences to the Pakistani people and stressed the need to confront global terrorism. His strategist, David Axelrod, told reporters that Obama could beat Clinton on foreign policy.
Axelrod said the Pakistan crisis underscores questions about Clinton's vote to authorize the war in Iraq, which has sapped energy from the fight against Al Qaeda:
"Obviously, one of the reasons that Pakistan is in the distress that it's in is because Al Qaeda is resurgent . . . and that's a consequence of us taking the eye off the ball and making the wrong judgment going into Iraq."
Clinton's spokesman accused Axelrod of politicizing Bhutto's death.
While the Clinton and Obama campaigns sparred, other Democrats with significant foreign policy experience seized on the Pakistan crisis to showcase their more nuanced understanding of the country's challenges.
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he had twice urged Musharraf to increase security for Bhutto:
"[Her death] raises a lot of hard questions for the government and security services that must be answered." [I was convinced that Bhutto would have won] "free and fair" [elections in Pakistan]. Her assassination makes it all the more urgent that Pakistan return to a democratic path."
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, a former US ambassador to the United Nations, went further, saying Musharraf must step down:
"We must use our diplomatic leverage and force the enemies of democracy to yield. President Bush should press Musharraf to step aside, and a broad-based coalition government, consisting of all the democratic parties, should be formed immediately. Until this happens, we should suspend military aid to the Pakistani government. Free and fair elections must also be held as soon as possible."
Yup, even CAN'T WIN DemocraPs make the sucky MSM papers!
But NO RON PAUL, huh?
And did anyone notice that the position of all theses alleged top-tier candidates is the same as George W. Bush's, readers?
You notice that?

"McCain Talks of Pakistan in Swing Through Iowa" by MICHAEL LUO
URBANDALE, Iowa — Senator John McCain's appearance was dominated by talk about the assassination of the Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto, which he seized upon to renew his argument that — given the complexity of the threats faced by the United States — only he has the foreign policy credentials to step into the Oval Office and immediately take the reins
The prospect of renewed volatility in Pakistan loomed over the presidential campaign trail on Thursday, threatening to change the dynamic of a race that had seen attention on foreign policy recede as the number of American casualties in Iraq fell.
And CUI BONO, readers?
Mrs. Clinton, campaigning in Denison, took her own shots:
“Some people think you get change by demanding it and some people think you get change by hoping for it. I think you get change by working for it every single day.”
She is fucking disgusting, and I despise her!
We DON'T WANT YOUR KIND of CHANGE!
Mr. McCain talked about the unrest in Pakistan, the importance of that country in the fight against the Taliban in Afghanistan and the fact that Pakistan is a nuclear power. He then pivoted quickly to his readiness to tackle the situation, saying that he had “been to Waziristan,” a tribal area in Pakistan that is a haven for the Taliban, and that he knew President Pervez Musharraf well.
Mr. McCain is on a three-day swing through Iowa, and then plans to return to New Hampshire, where he has essentially staked his campaign for the Republican nomination.
Although there had been speculation that he was seeking to take advantage of his rise in some polls in New Hampshire to make a last-ditch push in Iowa.
Mr. McCain has not run any television advertisements in the state. His last mailing to Iowa voters went out several months ago. Over the weekend, his campaign ran a few commercials on Christian radio.
And yet he'll finish third, watch!
Even though he is against ethanol subsidies and for amnesty.
Heard it here first, folks!
Nevertheless, Mr. McCain’s supporters are hoping to surprise some in Iowa, given how few votes typically separate the candidates in the caucuses, which typically see no more than about 100,000 voters turn out in each party.
In particular, if Mr. McCain is able to overtake Fred D. Thompson, the former senator from Tennessee, and finish third — behind Mike Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, and Mitt Romney, a former governor of Massachusetts — many people would consider it a boost going into New Hampshire.
What, did the NYT already receive the government script for the upcoming "elections?"
In his appearance in Urbandale, Mr. McCain was asked about the credentials of a Republican rival, Rudolph W. Giuliani, who has campaigned — like Mr. McCain — on national security.
Mr. McCain said that while Mr. Giuliani had done a good job handling New York City after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, he was not necessarily qualified to conduct foreign policy:
“It has very little to do with national security issues. It has a lot to do with handling a postcrisis. As far as I know, Mayor Giuliani has never been to Iraq.”
Yeah, so if you haven't been to Iraq, you aren't qualified to be president, Johnny Senility?
Never mind that Rudy is truly an unqualified slime bucket:
"Under Attack, Drug Maker Turned to Giuliani for Help"
... and ...
"Giuliani ad draws a line from WWII to Sept. 11" by Associated Press
Rudy Giuliani invokes World War II and the 2001 terrorist attacks - the tragedy that put him on the national political map - in a TV ad campaign being launched today.
The Republican candidate says in the ad:
"I saw the picture of the firefighters putting the flag up at ground zero. I said these are the children or grandchildren or great-grandchildren of the greatest generation. They have the same resolve."
Just can't wait to get WWII going, can Der Fuhrer Rudy?!
Giuliani has sought to avoid the appearance that he is exploiting the attacks for political gain."
Pffft!
And I won't be watching anymore "debates!"
"Granite State Republicans set for political immersion" by Associated Press
The New Hampshire Republican Party is sponsoring a forum for Republican presidential candidates on Jan. 6, two days before the state's first-in-the-nation primary. The forum, at which the candidates will be questioned by Fox News Channel's Chris Wallace, will be held a day after ABC holds back-to-back Democratic and Republican presidential debates.
Fergus Cullen, the chairman of the state GOP:
"Never underestimate New Hampshire voters' appetite for politics."
Participating in the 90-minute forum will be Rudy Giuliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney, and Fred Thompson.
No RON PAUL?
Unlike a debate, the candidates will face questions from Wallace around a table in a studio on the campus of Saint Anselm College in Goffstown, N.H."
Awwwww, nice and cozy for all the shit-spewers and their shit-carriers!
Well, if they fuck over the American people with another stolen election, then the REVOLUTION is ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
