just say no deal

It looks like Hillary received that 3 a.m. booty call
from the big “O” begging her for a hookup…From
the AP’s resident Obot Nedra Pickler:

“Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama’s
campaign announced Friday that he will campaign with
former rival Hillary Rodham Clinton next week, a step
toward unifying a fractured Democratic Party after a
bruising primary fight…

Obama’s campaign disclosed the joint appearance -
but offered few details (Piper’s note: Details? That’s just
so “old politics!”) - one day after announcing that he’d
reverse an earlier position and reject some $85 million
in public financing for the general election. The
announcement drew sharp criticism and dominated
the news cycle.”

Thus, Axelrod sought to redirect attention by (forgive
me) pimpin’ out hillary! So one day after reneging on
his public financing vow, the big “O” is relying on
Hillary’s cred and ovaries-of-steel to overcome a bad
news cycle.

What’s the matter, Sweetie? The MSM isn’t being
your fluffer anymore? So you need to channel
Hillary’s testicular fortitude to change the narrative
because, ah, well you have none?

Precisely why we Just Say No Deal to a joint ticket.
As veep, if Hillary wasn’t being relegated to picking
up O’s stinky socks or organizing his desk, she’d be
busy doin’ all the work while he lay back and enjoy.
That doesn’t work in the bedroom, and it sure ain’t
gonna work in the Oval.

Shorter me sans sexist stereotype: her talents will
either be squandered or used without credit.

Yes President Truman, I know, “it is amazing what you
can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit”. Well,
I care, and I’m convinced there won’t be many
accomplishments if Hillary were forced to endure the
missionary position. We still say: “Hillary On Top!”

So how about it, superdelis? You can still put the
better qualified, more electable candidate at the top of
the ticket, or you can continue to support a smooth
operator and lose in November. Better make the
right call, or we’ll continue to roar No Deal!

Do the bad pick-up lines ever stop flowin’? Here’s another example of “party unity” from Reuter’s (see one thing and hat tip to reader Akron):

“Author and anti-racist activist Tim Wise suspects race could be behind some of the anti-Obama sentiment among Clinton supporters. Obama would be the first black U.S. president. “Voting against Senator Obama is not about gender solidarity. It is an act of white racial bonding,” Wise wrote in an open letter to progressive female Clinton supporters.”

This man can’t be getting laid. Doesn’t he know that insults and guilt trips aren’t the way to get into a girl’s ballot box?”

Seriously O supporters, you’ve got to be nicer to us if you want to get in bed with Hillary supporters. You know what gets us hot? Universal Health Care with mandates and respect for us and our candidate. You know what doesn’t? Being called a racist.

And a word to the mr.Wise, we are not rejecting Obama because he’s black. We’re just saying No Deal because he’s inexperienced, arrogant, cowardly, and a product of a complicit media and a corrupt Chicago political machine. Just because the DeanNC fell in love with him, doesn’t mean we did. And labeling us racists only insults us and alienates us further. If this is your best material, better grab some porn. Oh, and pollsters, don’t be surprised if the women answering the phone are faking it!!

Well, it seems that the organic PUMA movement has created quite an uproar in the last week with multiple appearances on FOX, MSNBC, TALK RADIO along with numerous print and online articles. And they started 168 hours ago….yikes?!?

The party and the fauxgressive blogosphere is shocked-shocked!-that we aren’t being good little Democrats by falling in line behind the DeaNC’s chosen one. Sorry Howard, Nancy, and Kos. Obama and his cash may make you swoon, but we’re just not that into him. We Just Say No Deal. If you want our votes, then you’ll have to work for them.

In the spirit of Princess’ FABULOUS interview on Cavuto, we say let the courting begin!

You can spare us the flowers and chocolates, here’s what we at Hire Heels.com really want:

#1 Hillary on Top (of the ticket).
(get out of the gutter gals!). Yes, superdelis, you can still make this happen in Denver.who voted for Hillary. You can listen to your conscience, which knows that she is the only bit-,er, one, who can get stuff done. Shorter me: you can do your job and vote for the most qualified candidate at the convention. Failing that…

#2 Allow Hillary to make her case in Denver.
We know that this one might be tough for you Howama, so we’ll give you some pointers. Don’t push Hillary off of the ballot. Don’t try to poach or punish her pledged delegates. Let Hillary put forth her platform, the one that we voted for, at the convention. Let the Democratic process continue as it was intended. Besides, staged conventions are just so tired and boring. It just smacks of old politics.

#3 Treat Hillary and her supporters with respect.
Do not dismiss us as a bunch of bitter, Archie Bunker-type deadenders who are clinging to our candidate out of spite. We’re not. We’re a broad cross-section of men and women who have real concerns about Obama’s ability (or lack thereof) to lead this nation. Address those concerns in a substantive way (you know, without using the words ‘unity’, ‘hope’, or ‘change’) and stop blackmailing us with Roe v.Wade. It’s such a turn off.

#4 Understand that we feel wronged for legitimate reasons. This nomination was not won on the basis of ‘one person, one vote’. It was decided through media manipulation, voter suppression, intimidation, primary/caucus disparities, backroom dealings and an arbitrary application of ‘the rulez’. Don’t order us to ‘get over it’. Acknowledge that there is a problem with the system and fix it.

#5 Adopt Hillary’s Universal Health Care platform, because we think that mandates are hot.So Howama, if you make a concerted effort to reach out to us and do some of these things, who knows, you might get lucky!

But if you continue to stick your heads in the sand and pretend that we’ll succumb to your wiles in the fall, you’ll lose us forever. Remember: you need us more than we need you.

You can call us pumas, you can call us cougars — but hireheels will continue to roar!

The PUCCI, er I mean PUMA movement has begun. Bloggers and organizations from across the country have joined together to Just Say No Deal —  we will not accept the presumptive nominee that is being shoved down our throats by the DNC and the Mean-Streak Media.Our reasons for dissent are as diverse as America itself, but we all have this in common:

We support Hillary … We reject Obama …We will not fall in line.

You may call me a sore loser or say that I’m suffering from sour grapes, and you’d be partially right. I cannot reward voter suppression and delegate stealing. I cannot endorse the hypocrisy of using strong-armed tactics while promising a ‘new type of politics’. I cannot support the cowardice of refusing re-votes and debates. I cannot condone the sexist and misogynistic treatment of Hillary by his campaign and its followers. I cannot vote for someone who has shown nothing but contempt and disrespect for his opponent, her spouse, and her supporters, especially when, according to ABC News, he will not spend much time trying to bring us into the fold.

Apparently, we aren’t likable enough after all.

But there are other reasons that I’m leaning toward voting for John McCain in the fall, ones that are related to the issues that I care about.

Supreme Court appointments and the protection of Roe v. Wade is something that Obama supporters and the media like to hang over our collective heads. This gets a big yawn from me. Obama did not support the filibuster of Justice Samuel Alito, and he reportedly supported Chief Justice John Roberts before being told that his support may hurt his future presidential run. As I told Sam Stein, Obama was for John Roberts before he was against him. Besides, presidents only nominate Supreme Court Justices. The senate confirms them. If the Democratic-controlled congress will grow a pair and make abortion a litmus test during the confirmation hearings, then this becomes a non-issue. Next….I also think that Obama is weak on gay rights. He’ll talk to our enemies without preconditions, but he won’t talk to the Philadelphia Gay News? When he did finally grant an interview with The Advocate, he said that while he supports the elimination of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, he won’t make its repeal a requirement for his Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. WTF?He reportedly refused to be pictured with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at a 2004 fundraiser because Newsom’s decision to allow same-sex marriage in his city had been the focus of recent controversy. Political courage, thy name is not Obama. Obama also has a lot of homophobic supporters that are active members of his campaign, such as Donnie McClurkin and Rev. James Meeks. Tell me again why he would be good to the GLBT community?Finally, I don’t think that Obama will be any better on Iraq than McCain. Obama (or Clinton) would not commit to a full pullout of troops by 2013. Hell, McCain says it will be won by then.

Samantha Power, a foreign policy advisor who resigned from the Obama campaign after calling Hillary a monster, had told the BBC in March that his plan to withdraw combat troops within the first 16 months of his administration was simply a “best case scenario” and that Obama “…will not rely upon some plan that he’s crafted as a presidential candidate or as a US senator.” And in April, the New York Sun reported that Colin Kahk, another key Obama advisor, wrote a paper suggesting that the U.S. keep 60,000-80,000 troops in Iraq through the end of 2010. It appears that Obama’s Iraq withdraw plan is nothing more than just words. So what can Obama do to convince rouge Hillary supporters like me to heed my candidate’s advice and support him? Well, for starters, an apology from Obama and the DNC would be appreciated, as would recognition from the media and the progressive blogosphere that their coverage of Hillary during this campaign season was disgraceful and abhorrent. Also, adding Hillary’s true universal healthcare program to the platform would go a long way with me. To date, neither of those things has occurred, and I’m doubtful that they will. Obama, the DNC, Kos and Josh don’t think that we’re a priority. They all think that they can win without us.I say let’s watch them try.

Wow. Just… Wow!

The media and the Democratic cartel bosses tried to end this race yesterday before all of the votes were cast. Once again, like a lover trying to finish the job quickly so that he can go play poker with the guys, their climax was premature and left us unimpressed and unsatisfied. No amount of false AP reporting could supress the vote. No number of superdelegates dragging Oblahma’s sorry, battered ass across the finish line could seal the deal. They tried to take Hillary’s day away from her, and she took it right back: "You know, I understand that a lot of people are asking, what does Hillary want? What does she want?
Well, I want what I have always fought for in this whole campaign. I want to end the war in Iraq. I want to turn this economy around. I want health care for every American. I want every child to live up to his or her God-given potential, and I want the nearly 18 million Americans who voted for me to be respected, to be heard and no longer to be invisible."

Got that, Tweety?

On a day in which many tears were shed, a radiant, energized Hillary Clinton gave a thrilling speech that both pumped up her supporters and p’nked the MSM. In an instant, my emotions went from sorrow to elation. I know that O is supposed to be the great orator, but empty promises of ‘hope’ and ‘change’ could never move me the way that Hillary’s words did last night. Pay attention:  This is leadership… "Now the question is, where do we go from here, and given how far we’ve come and where we need to go as a party, it’s a question I don’t take lightly. This has been a long campaign, and I will be making no decisions tonight…

We don’t want you to.

HireHeels says: Do not concede, sit back and get yourself a nice spa pedicure, read a good book (or trashy mag) and wait…wait for your opponent to implode while you’re sippin’ your mojito on the Vineyard…and wait for that 3AM call…. the one from the mob bosses sweet-talkin’ you back to save their asses.

Hillary, you can do whatever you want. And when you decide, do it on your terms because, girlfriend, there’s a cool 18 million who’ve got her back.

See you in Denver!

HIREHEELS REMINDER TO READERS: Piper in Pucci started the SeatOurDelegates.com Petition which has been fighting to seat Michigan and Florida delegations since their primaries

Hi Sam,

I enjoyed talking with you yesterday in Washington DC. I just sauntered over to Huffington Post for the first time in months to read your report (”Eating a Reuben Amidst A Crowd Of Protesting Clintonites“) of what occurred in Harry’s Pub yesterday afternoon during the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting. (I’ll be taking a shower immediately after writing this e-mail.) After reading the post, I wondered if we were at the same place. I find your documentation of yesterday’s events to be incomplete and irresponsible. I don’t remember hearing anyone make the statements about Soros or the rigging of the South Dakota primary or the claims that Senator Obama is a socialist. And as those statements were not attributed to anyone, I question your judgment in reporting them. It seems to me that you are trying to create a narrative that Clinton supporters are a bunch of rapid wingnuts that will readily spew the most outrageous and scurrilous rumors about Obama at a moment’s notice. I can assure you if such supporters exist, they are but a small minority of the deep coalition that Senator Clinton has built. Most of us that campaign for her do so by telling people of her accomplishments and experience, and not by denigrating her opponent. Nor do I recall hearing the chants of “Huffington Post sucks. Fox News fair and balanced.” I will proudly admit to chanting “Count the Votes” upon Robert Wexler’s arrival at the bar.

My other problem with the article was your reporting about the distribution of pamphlets promoting Senator Obama’s alleged participation in drug use and gay sex with Larry Sinclair. You failed to mention that those pamphlets were only being distributed by Larry Sinclair himself. I can assure you that his appearance at the rally was very brief and not at all associated with the peaceful protesters who simply demanded that the voters of Florida and Michigan be recognized and honored.

I also question your reporting of why many of us will be unable to support Senator Obama in the general election. The mainstream media has written us off as bitter sore losers. This is false. First of all, no one has won (or lost) the nomination yet. That determination will be made by the so-called superdelegates. Secondly, our failure to support Senator Obama should he win the nomination has more to do with his paper -thin resume and lack of significant legislative achievement than a case of sour grapes. Personally, I also have a problem with any candidate who would not help make the voters of Florida and Michigan whole by agreeing to revotes. None of this gives me any pleasure to say. I want the war in Iraq to end. But when I hear advisors of his say that he’ll leave 60,000-80,000 troops in Iraq or that he will not be committed to any plan that he touts as a presidential candidate while on the campaign trail, then I have little reason to believe that he’ll be any better on Iraq than McCain will. Shorter me: my non-support of Obama has been well thought out. I’m sure that others have valid reasons for their rejection of him as well.

Finally, our appearance at yesterday’s rally was not in support of Senator Clinton. It was in support of democracy. The issue of Florida and Michigan is larger than either of the candidates or the party. If my vote can be thrown out (or reduced by half) on a technicality that was beyond my control, why should I have any belief that my vote will ever count?

Anyhow, I would appreciate if you would publish a more accurate portrayal of yesterday’s events and of the mind set of Senator Clinton’s supporters. I will also remind you that neither candidate will be able to secure the nomination at primary’s end. Thus, the party’s nominee will be determined by the superdelegates. Please allow the process to play out before prematurely coronating anyone.

Thank you.

[Sent under separate cover]:
PS. I also notice that while you posted one YouTube video of a protester being escorted from the building, you did not post this video of the Long Island school teacher who was bruised while being forcibly removed from the meeting:

It would be nice if you included this as well.

So this little gem came to my in-box yesterday from Air Obama’s, er, I mean, Air America’s Thom Hartmann:

“The issue at hand for the Democratic Party for winning in ‘08 is not losing to McCain but losing to a divided Democratic party. The first thing Obama should do if nominated is put Hillary on the ticket. Will the Republicans have a field day with her on the ticket? Yes! Is their some bad blood in the water due to some negative campaign strategies on the part of the Clintons? Probably. Can Hillary be a tough fighter able to play tough allowing Obama to stay higher above the fray? Yes!”

Thom, we know that you want us, but your pick up lines just aren’t working. (What is it with Obambots and early eruptions?) This primary is still “active,” your candidate has not climaxed, and no amount of premature ejaculation will change that!

If you’re going to try to bed us, do NOT insult our intelligence. The Republicans had their way with Hillary for fifteen years, and they’ve only made her “sexier.” Not only does she know how to canoodle with the GOP, but she can also perform the necessary S&M when they’re playin’ naughty. Whatever baggage she supposedly has was thoroughly picked through years ago, and she’s still hot. So, is that the best you’ve got? (If so, pass the remote!)

Now Obama’s Louis Vuitton trunk is still new and exciting for the Rethugs. They’ve just begun to rummage through his nefarious connections with the likes of Auchi, Rezko, Ayers, and Wright. Will Rezko flip if he’s convicted? Will Wright have another outburst? And what of those rumored videos of Michelle in the Trinity pulpit? Sounds delish! Karl Rove must be salivating.

Oh, and Thommy, propagating the meme that ‘the Clintons’ have run a negative campaign is such a turn off. They say politics ain’t beanbag. Telling voters Obama is less-than-endowd in matters of (well, everything) is not campaigning negatively. However, accusing our gal of doing “anything to win”, calling her ‘Bush/Cheney-lite”, trashing her husband’s legacy, repeatedly playing the race/class card, adopting Republican scare tactics like “Harry and Louise”, having members of your campaign question the validity of her tears and remaining silent while surrogates try to force her from the race is…well, let’s just say it won’t get you laid!

Finally Thom, why should we allow you to seduce us when it’s clear that we’d be doing all of the work? Having Hillary fight Obama’s battles while he remains “above the fray” is hardly an enticement to hook up with you, and will probably leave us blue (if you know what I mean). In a presidential race, you don’t get to lay back and enjoy it.

So Thom, we decline your offer to canoodle. But don’t despair. Maybe all of those younger, educated voters that Donna Brazile keeps touting will keep you from being lonely at night. Just don’t expect them to return your calls in November.

We at hireheels.com strongly believe that Hillary Rodham Clinton will be Democratic nominee in the 2008 presidential election. We’ve seen her metamorphosis from ‘shoe’-in to survivor. She has overcome being massively overspent, suffered charges of negative campaigning and racism, and endured malicious coverage in the press and on the blogs to continue to be competitive in this race.

But we were dismayed to learn this week that Senator Obama was planning to declare victory after the Oregon primary despite not having reached the requisite 2,025 pledged delegates needed to secure the nomination and before Montana, South Dakota, and Puerto Rico have their chance to vote. We’re told he’ll attempt his almost-victory lap at the scene of the crime where Hillary’s political obituary was first penned - Iowa!

Down boy! Not so fast. Girls like to take it sloooow.

Senator Obama also performed a victory lap dance on the House floor last week, causing dismay among Clinton supporters who think that he is counting his chickens before they come home to roost. All this before the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee on May 31 on the fate of the Florida and Michigan delegations. Should we be surprised when all we hear is… “YES, YES YES, We Can” disenfranchise Michigan and Florida.

It is clear that Obama will continue to “ignore” Hillary (like every bad boy does in the morning) and begin a general election campaign against McCain. Risky strategy, considering the oncoming from the GOP this past week.

This inevitability meme from the Obama camp exists for one reason and one reason only: to suppress the vote in the remaining states. This is especially true for Kentucky, where Obama is not only expected to lose, but to be crushed. If he loses by the margins expected, it would hurt his electibility argument and expose his weakness in attracting working class voters (speaking of which, have you caught Flineo’s “Unelectable” youtuber - Obama’s never been sexier!!).

Team Obama also knows that when all of the votes are counted, Senator Clinton will likely have the lead in the popular vote. This will be a powerful argument to take to the superdelegates and the public, especially after the debacle of 2000. Thus, they think that their path to victory is to demoralize the Clinton base.

Note to Obama Campaign: It won’t work!

The voters of the remaining states will have their first chance in decades to help determine who the presidential nominee of their party will be. Record numbers of Democrats are being registered this primary season, which the last time I checked, is good for the party.

Declaring victory before all of the votes are counted and before either candidate obtains the magic number not only does a disservice to the voters of those states, the Democratic Party, and the democratic process itself, but also reminds women of how much we hate big talkers and loathe premature ejaculation!

WE’RE GOIN’ ALL THE WAY - AND OOOOOHH….IT’S NEVER FELT SO GOOD!!

As I canvass Indiana in my Puccis (the hireheels gals have officially adopted me!), I am NOT hearing the same
narrative that the media are reporting over the past few days. Take “gas-gate,” for example. It seems the
entire intelligentsia class is above shaving 20 cents off your next gallon of gas. Hmmm, I can’t seem to find
anyone here against that idea. Yet on this morning’s Today Show, Meredith Viera rabidly challenged
Hillary Clinton to produce “a single economist” who
supported the radical notion of saving working-class Americans a few bucks.

Have these people lost their minds?

This is either another example of the media being out of touch with what’s happening on the ground, or, their unwillingness to give Hillary a centimeter in this race (which Hillary’s already runnin’ backwards and in high heels!). But it seems that Indiana folks are agreeing with her on this issue! A brand new Suffolk University poll puts Hillary ahead of Obama : 49 – 43!

Hoosier Mama?!!

So maybe, just maybe, voters like Hillary’s radical position! Let me leave you with an anecdotal tidbit on just how frightening gas prices have become for the working class. My husband (a former military dude) handles security for one of Florida’s largest grocery chains. He is responsible for logging in and out all of its daily truckers. Well, two of those trucking companies went under last week solely because of high gas prices. When I asked him why he thought all the economists hated Hillary’s idea, he cynically replied: “Well, that’s because they can afford their gas!”

As can Meredith Viera!

On February 7, 2008, I started a petition demanding that the Democratic National Committee recognize the results of the primaries that were held in Michigan and Florida. At the time, I thought that this was a cause that all Democrats could rally behind, especially after the debacle of 2000.

I was wrong. It appears that support for the petition is dependent upon the candidate that one favors. Clinton supporters want the votes from these states to be counted. Obama supporters do not.
