Comments on: Top Clinton Fundraiser Defects To McCain

Member Of DNC Platform Committee Throws Support Behind Republican Nominee

[dnsallday]

Obama leads McCain 54 percent to 38 percent among all women. He holds a two point edge among white women, a 21 percentage point swing in Obama''s direction from one week ago.
Todays CBS poll. No candidate has ever gotten 100% support from the supporters of a rival. It is silly to expect it. Like Obama and Clinton. I don''t think all women should be clumped together. These women will all decide for themselves.

HI Joepack,
No I am not in a bubble. Just as I am aware that millions of women are disgusted at the willingnesss of Sarah Palin to tell lie after lie to the American people even after she gets called on it, she continues with the same deceptions.

I am also aware that Millions of women will continue to support her. Some of them have their own agenda and honesty and integrity really aren''t values they care about.
There are many others who are in a honeymoon stage with Sarah Palin and the hope of the Campaign is they can run out the clock before people really get a chance to know what she is about.

This is what the Republicans know very well:

Marketing is about creating a product.
Convincing people that it is something they must have .
Wrapping it in attractive packaging.
Creating the perception that there is limited availability.

Just think about what people went through because they thought they needed to have cabbage patch dolls.

We are being sold another cabbage patch doll.

Very often I will comment with the particulars about misconceptions and offer facts and sources. But sometimes I just don''t bother because many people see and hear only what they already believe.

[dburfears]

LMFAO. This is news? NOT.

[luvienne]

Another 15 minute of fame seeker. What''s the matter, your million dollar life style on the line? It amazes me these miliionaires Mccain''s included can call someone else an elitist. What class of people do they associate with, other millionaires. Not us common folks. People who live in glass houses should not throw stones, especially Mccains.People know him for what he is, an illusion of a real politician. He didn''t have any drawing appeal until Palin. What does that say about Mccain? People are not fooled by his lying rheteoric unless they want to be spoonfed lies. TO THE POLLS IN NOV/ OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Lynn Forester de Rothschild
***********************************

Yes, I think with a name like that, she can afford to go with McCain. McCain with no new ideas about getting the American family some relief with health care costs, help with the crumbling housing market, help with anything. I doubt she has to worry about affording anything. Plus she gets all of this attention and a bunch of Republicans drooling on her.

[stn_sage]

Lynn Forester "de" Rothschild is an embittered, self-centered woman!

In spite of her rhetoric, that she''s voting for McCain because HE''S stood up to Bush---though even if it were true produces no substantive result for the public---she fails to tell us HOW that makes him the better candidate! He''s still ''flip-flopped'' on almost every issue!

No, her point of contention is: she wants a woman in the executive branch! Period. That''s why she''s ''flip-flopping'' to McCain! Resign from the Demo Cmte? She should be kicked off!

She has a nice, cozy life with no real economic concerns and can afford such philosophical ''flights of mind'', the average woman and citizenry CANNOT!

Palin has a journalism degree, worked as a reporter, and became a Governor. Regan went to college, worked as a brodcaster, an actor, and became a Governor. Is Palin the next "great communicator" and future President?

[joepack61]

Truthmatterz, you said that Palin is "a rigid,dishonest, and vindictive vessel." You need to provide a few facts or details. As of today, troopergate is up in the air now that Palin is providing emails to show that she and her staff were actually dealing with budgetary issues with the top trooper. Anyhoo, there is a phenomenom among independent woman voters who are not informed as much as you are. I hate to burst your bubble but they like Palin, they relate to Palin, and they admire Palin. They see her taking down powerful men in Alaska. They see her cleaning up corruption and saving taxpayer dollars. They see her holding a political office previously held by men. I know this because my mother-in-law is my source for information. I cite that she voted for Clinton against Dole as evidence that she is independent. I haven''t told her that Jack Kemp appears to be advising McCain. She called Dole and Kemp "yahoos who don''t have a clue". Palin shows that Democrats and Hilliary do not have a lock on the womens vote. Who appointed Hilliary to represent all women in America?

[praiseallah1]

Arianna Huffington must be pissing her Socialist Liberal Elitist granny panties when it was reported that Hillary Clintons leading supporter Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, Katie couric, and millions of other women are now planning to vote for McCain/Palin!

But why is the liberal media still saying that women who supported Hillary won''t go for Palin? I am a Hillraiser woman and I am voting for McCain/Palin and millions more women will shift their vote too! Every woman I know is supporting for McCain even women, who like myself, have been Democrates all of our lives. Obama sucks and why is Michelle Obama HIDING? Barak probably told her to stay home with the kids like a woman should be doing. Obama is such a sexist pig! Why doesn''t Barak send his own brother who lives on $1 a month a little more money? Obviously he has no family values.

I heard that Obama refuses to release a list of his campaign advisors to the media even though he tries to attack McCain about having lobbyists for his camoaign managers. I found out that one of Obamas secret campaign advisors is none other than George Soros the Socialist market manipulator. I am trying to find out who the other "Secret Advisors" are to Obama

[cfin5]

I can understand someone getting tired of going around in circles trying to comprehend Barack''s "DIZZEOLOGICAL" reasons why socialism is better than what we have now. Yeah, we''re war-poor for now. But our boys in the Middle East did it through. They should just keep moppin'' up,....OBL is in there somewhere. But a word of advise should be heard,....NO MORE NATION BUILDING!

Another intelligent Democrat!!

When will the MSM be repoting this?

And what about the FEDERAL LAWSUIT?

[boatdocster]

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild is an rich, ardent Clinton supporter who has set up a website in support of Hillary. She says that the democratic party is trying to ignore the 18 million people that voted for Hillary.

On that web site de Rothschild talks about helping the invisible, children, the poor, the elderly, the working and middle class. She has spoken out and worked hard for universal health care, a strong economy, a clean planet, a stellar education system, an end to the war in Iraq and a sound foreign policy. She has built a broad and dedicated coalition of supporters and has energized millions of new voters %u2013 most notably women.

If that is really her platform, why would they vote for McCain and Palin who together will try and take away the most basic womens rights, who favor the rich, who have vetoed attempts to improve pay and benefits for working people? McCain only cares about the rich, ; Palin is even further to the right on personal rights as a Pentecostal.

There is no " centrist " in McCain or Palin.

[joepack61]

McCain clearly is not Bush, but to what degree?
Palin is Bush. Just like Bush, Palin is a religious and political ideologe and engaged in cronyism as a politician, hiring her friends to Alaska government. Cronyism is what she knows, both giving and receiving. She campaigned for a Governor in Alaska and was rewarded by getting a six figure job that she had no education for. The war in Irag was botched for 2-3 years because Bush was surrounded by his cronies from Texas whom he appointed to federal postions they were not qualified for. Remember the Fema director, for example? Bush did not listen to Hilliary who toured Irag a few months after Bagdad fell who said that we needed to put in MORE troops to secure Irag. Other qualifed people like generals said the same. Success of the surge proves she and they were right. Point being, Palin would do the same, if she ever were president. There should be a law that x number of political appointments must not be from the winning party.

Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild, the millionairess, said in an earlier interview today that she had a feeling that "Obama was an elitist and she wasn''t sure she could trust him".

Sound familiar to anybody? These are Republican talking points and I don''t think there is anybody left who doesn''t know what those words mean.

[kesac4650]

Welcome, Ms. Rothschild, to the Bright Side.

[dnsallday]

why wouldn''''t women see Palin as an advancement of their cause?

************************************************************ Millions of we women are hoping that the first woman in the white house is somebody we can point out to our daughters with pride. We are hoping it will be somebody with honesty and integrity. Somebody who will be there because she cares about our country and wants to do what she can for the American people.

Those of us who feel that way will work together to keep Sarah Palin, a rigid,dishonest, and vindictive vessel out of the White house.

[paris1969]

I think that what she is saying is what a lot of Democrats are thinking, but they are so worried about being labeled racists that they won''t. However, in the privacy of the voting booth or absentee ballot, they will vote the way they believe.

[joepack61]

This is interesting. This is the same woman who along with other top Hilliary supporters would not get in line behind Obama at the Democratic National Convention. She said at the time that Obama gave a nice speech but did not say anything of substance. Several other Hilliary supportes made similar comments and also said that they might support McCain. Throwing Palin into the mix, I think, made the sale. If you leave out abortion, and that is a big if, (what is the breakout on women for and against abortion?) why wouldn''t women see Palin as an advancement of their cause?

[xlib]

I guess I''m just shocked that it isn''t a chi com. Wow, guess there will be a lot of nasty comments about this. Or, in true dem form, it''ll run today and that will be the end of it.
If I were this chick I sure would watch my back and definetly not go jogging in Fort Marcy Park.
