TFR Endorses Senator Clinton
by Adam | Sunday 11 November 2007
NEW YORK - In a move designed to counter the amount of voters impacted by Pat Robertson's recent endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for President in the upcoming 2008 election, Adam Chandler, magnate of the new media and proprietor of trustfundreporting.com, has today announced his endorsement of Hillary Clinton for President in 2008.
In a statement released earlier today in New York, Mr. Chandler, somewhat hungover, cited his reasons for supporting Senator Clinton's historic quest for the White House.
"Hillary Clinton is the smartest, most prepared candidate for office. Senator Clinton has presented a thorough and well-constructed domestic agenda for this country as well as a foreign policy outline that is rooted in the proper balance of reality, determination, diplomacy, and moderation. Senator Clinton has never apologized for her 2002 Iraq vote, which speaks volumes about her moral standing despite the opportunist criticisms of members of her own party, but she also does not subsist in the delusion that this trial in nation-building has been a success. The people that will surround her in her administration will undoubtedly be some of the most capable in government, which embodies the exact 'shot in the arm' this country needs to improve its economy, reform its health care system, and restore its standing in the international community. In short, Hilldog is my dog."
"Hilldog is my dog," Mr. Chandler said Sunday.

That's cute - Adam. But you can't put words in my mouth that easily!!
Vote McCain in 2008 - the only leader this country can rely on to lead with dignity, moral clarity, and the commitment to country (as opposed to himself) so desperately needed in these changing and uncertain times.
On economic issues, his desire to see government spending limited and fiscal responsibility implemented will ensure that existing programs are managed to their peak possible efficiency and that any new programs are truly in the best interests of the country.
Senator McCain is a moral leader, for which evidence can be found in his principled stand against torture, and his desire to see through and clean up the mess we made in Iraq. His standing on social issues are at odds with my own, but given present and near-term geopolitical realities, I do not think social issues will be at the fore of any administration selected in 2008.
John McCain is his own man, and not weak in the face of partisan pressures. Nor is he tainted by the failures and past indiscretions of a prior administration and its officials (not just Monica, there were others). Centrists and progressives could be heartened by Senator McCain's willingness to stand firm in his positions even in the face of significant pressure from his Republican colleagues and the so-called Christian-Right to support certain measures during his long and distinguished political career.
On security, defense, and foreign policy it is impossible to rationally argue that any other candidate has greater experience, credentials, or understanding than McCain.
McCain has a long history of bipartisan effort on Capitol Hill, and no doubt these relationships would be essential to healing the divisions that currently wrack our great nation. Senator Clinton is so polarizing that Democrat leaning blogs and commentators have openly questioned whether or not she could actually win a general election, or if she did how effective her administration might be.
And finally, Senator John McCain has never, ever, had a snuke anywhere in his body.

By the way - here is precisely why McCain is the best of the present field: David Brooks: The Character Factor".

Otter425 is a schizo and a psychopath. Just look at all these conflicting statements.
P.S. I would consider McCain if the GOP would consider him too. Otherwise, he needs to be independent because I'm not switching parties for him. Sorry.

haha. Adam, i am not a schizo. I just think McCain would be great for the job. I will concede, however, if hillary wins i will back her. She is a tough cookie. In fact, if McCain doesn't get the nomination, then I'll vote for Hillary.

Well, that's one vote for Hillary. You can thank TFR for that Hilldog.
Did you see the debate last night?

I'm just kidding. I really do think McCain is the best man for the job - Hilldog would be a horrible president. I'd rather vote for Kucinich...if McCain isn't available!

Wait, what??! well, I guess I can't argue with you. McCain really IS the best candidate in the field from either party. I'm just surprised to see such honesty and forthrightness from you on this page, is all.

By the way, I'd honestly vote for HRC if Ron Paul was the GOP nominee. He is horrible.
