Bill Clinton raising more money for Meek

Former President Bill Clinton will headline another fundraiser for Kendrick Meek, this time on Friday morning in Jacksonville.

Event co-chairs include Alvin Brown, Jeff Chartrand, Bucky Clarkson, Nat Glover, Tony Hill, Russ Jollivette, Nancy Soderberg, Bobby Stein and Terrie Brady.

Clinton is showing a lot of love to Meek, who is making a bid for the U.S. Senate, with this being only the third Democratic primary in which he's taken sides. The other two times? Former aide Rahm Emanuel's congressional race in '02, and buddy Terry McAuliffe's bid for Virginia governor this cycle.

[Is Obama a man or a chicken???]

But I have an idea. If these guys are so impressed with themselves, and if they are so sure of their correctness, why doesn't President Obama come on my show? We will do a one-on-one debate of ideas and policies. Now, his people in this Politico story, it's on the record. They're claiming they wanted me all along. They wanted me to be the focus of attention. So let's have the debate! I am offering President Obama to come on this program -- without staffers, without a teleprompter, without note cards -- to debate me on the issues. Let's talk about free markets versus government control. Let's talk about nationalizing health care and raising taxes on small business.

Let's talk about the New Deal versus Reaganomics. Let's talk about closing Guantanamo Bay, and let's talk about sending $900 million to Hamas. Let's talk about illegal immigration and the lawlessness on the borders. Let's talk about massive deficits and the destroying of opportunities of future generations. Let's talk about ACORN, community agitators, and the unions that represent the government employees which pour millions of dollars into your campaign, President Obama. Let's talk about your elimination of school choice for minority students in the District of Columbia. Let's talk about your efforts to further reduce domestic drilling and refining of oil. Let's talk about your stock market. By the way, Mr. President, I want to help. Yesterday you said you looked at the stock market as no different than a tracking poll that goes up and down.

There's no "up and down" here. We have a plunge. The president yesterday suggested "we're getting to the point where profits and earnings ratios are approaching that point where you want to invest." Uh, Mr. President? There is no "profits and earnings" ratio. It's "price and earnings" ratio. He's the president of the United States. He doesn't know anything about the stock market. He's admitted it before.

Bad news for everyone else who is running or considering running in this primary. Kendrick has Clinton in his corner, doing his 2nd fundraiser in less the 2 months. SEIU endorsed him (and will probably set up an independent expenditure account for him), and so did the teachers union. Sorry Gelber, maybe you should run for Attorney General, or something else, cause Kendrick will win this primary. I don't see how anyone will beat him. It's a shame cause Gelber would be a good Senator, but for now he'll just have to deal with being a state Senator.

What's the big deal with Kendrick Meek? He's just some baby-faced, silver spoonfed brat who got his congressional seat handed to him by his mum.

The John Bircher at 5:17 has been hitting the crack pipe again.

More repiggie lunacy:

Who cares about Kendrick? Well Bill Clinton for one, and then there's SEIU, and the Teachers Union so far. And yes he is, 7:47 "just some baby-faced, silver spoonfed brat who got his congressional seat handed to him by his mum.", but he's going to be the Democratic nominee for US Senate.

Being the nominee means nothing if you can't win. Kendrick Meek can not win.

Another Dempiggie at the trough.

Don't forget about the Independent Candidate!

The Meek shall inherit the earth.

[DC idiots]

310 million Americans have allowed 546 political pigs in Washington DC to completely destroy the greatest nation ever known to mankind. The people didn’t destroy the nation themselves, even though they will be the ones who will have to pick up the pieces and start all over, once it all comes unhinged… But they have allowed it.

We have one president, one vice president, nine Supreme Court justices’, 435 members of the people’s House and 100 US senators. That’s 546 people responsible for forcing 310 million Americans into the proverbial soup line, where 546 political pigs hope Americans will choose global secular socialism as a lesser evil to a complete socio-economic meltdown.

What are the People Thinking?
What makes 310 million Americans feel like they are held hostage by 546 political thugs? Why are modern Americans afraid of self-governance? Why are freedom and liberty no longer worth fighting for in the land of the free and home of the brave? The Founders would be taking us all to the woodshed for what we have allowed to happen in this country…

I don’t care what political party you think you belong to. If you are not willing to stand and fight for personal freedom and individual liberty, the fundamental unalienable rights which our Founders established as gifts from our Creator, then you my friend are NOT American…

If you are American, then no matter what party you think represents you in Washington DC, I’m here to tell you that nobody in Washington DC represents you today. We have 546 idiots running legislative roughshod over 310 million American citizens and it appears that the average American has either not figured this out yet, has no idea what to do about it, or has entirely lost their will to be free.

Which Straw will be the Last?
Every American needs to read the facts about how we got in this mess and who put us here. On January 28, 2009, I released a column titled Congressional Democrats Bankrupted the Nation. If you don’t know this already, then read the column. That’s why I wrote it; so that American citizens would know what went wrong and who is really responsible for it. If you don’t know who or what is wrong, you can’t fix it.

It took leftists just under a hundred years to accomplish it. You have only days or weeks to reverse it… and you are working against massive odds, or so it would seem according to the leftwing propaganda press. I’m not sure how 546 thugs and pigs have an upper hand over 310 million American’s, but that’s what they tell me… 310 million wimps, sure, - but American’s, no…

In case you have not noticed, the Obamanation is not trying to stimulate the recovery of the free market economy. That’s why every move they have made since taking control of the fed has driven the free market economy right off the cliff. It is global Marxism they seek to stimulate, with your assets, and investors know it even if you don’t!

No, Obama and company have not made a single mistake since taking office. They have not skipped a single beat in their evil march towards global Marxism. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is at the White House today, carrying with him a plan for US led international socialism, all at the expense of American sovereignty, security, freedom and prosperity.

US Unemployment is shooting through the roof and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
Your new “no earmark” Resident-in-Chief has already agreed to 9000 pork barrel earmarks in his first annual budget. That was easy! And that’s in addition to his trillion dollars in socialist earmark spending fraudulently disguised as a “stimulus package.”

In the 40 days since Obama was sworn into office, Obamanation fiscal policies have cost American citizens trillions in new tax debt and trillions more in life savings. The DOW has lost another 20% of its value just since Obama set up his crib at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

If you are wondering where the bottom is, it is somewhere around 3000, not the 6800 it is today, according to investment experts currently running for cover in search of free foreign markets moving towards capitalism, instead of away from it.

What do you think the US unemployment rate will be when the DOW hits 5000, then 4000 and then 3000? Refer to my column Congressional Democrats Bankrupted the Nation if you care to know the real truth about how we got here. How we get out of here is not nearly so clear now.

If you bought the campaign lie that Obamanation would never come after your guns, you had better take a look at H.R. 45 real soon! Study how England removed guns from the hands of honest citizens and then see how citizens of England feel about that today. Obamanation is on the same path

Thank you, repiggies, for Rush Limbaugh, the gift that keeps on giving. Enjoy the link:

Kendrick is anything but Meek. But, he is a master at self-promotion. The Great "Sit-in" of 2000 in the Governor's Office was little more than a cheap political stunt to aggrandize himself.

Crist will make mincemeat out of him.

Where was the voice of DC Idiots these past eight years?
And what does this person mean by freedom? Freedom to impose a theocracy on this nation? Where is the criticism of the ruinous and foolish Iraq nonsense perpetrated by Bush/Cheney and their buddies, all of whom made huge profits in the midst of the horror?

The selective outrage is sickening. Obama hasn't even been the President for two months.

[Democrats turn against Democrats.]

Kramer offered a rebuttal to Press Secretary Robert Gibbs’ critical comments about his (Kramer’s) negative comments about how the Obama administration is handling the financial crisis.

Here’s a brief overview of the exchange that led to Kramer’s response:

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was invited to weigh in on yet another CNBC personality yesterday.

An NBC correspondent asked Gibbs about CNBC's Jim Cramer, who has recently assailed President Obama for pushing "a radical agenda" that "put a level of fear in this country that I have not seen ever in my life."

Mr. Gibbs' digs were less incendiary than the ones he took at Mr. Santelli on February 20, but they were there -- "if you turn on a certain program it's geared to a very small audience -- no offense to my good friends or friend at CNBC," Gibbs said, "but the President has to look out for the broader economy and for the broader population."

More vaguely, Gibbs did suggest that Cramer's track record is not one that should bring instant credibility, saying he doesn't understand "the basis for what Mr. Cramer said, I'm not entirely sure what he's pointing to make some of the statements that he's made. I think you can go back and look at any number of statements that he's made in the past about the economy and where some of the backup for those are, too."

In the context of his response to Gibbs, Kramer admits he supported Obama in the election:

I also made it clear in a New York magazine article that I favored Obama over McCain because I thought Obama to be a middle-of-the-road Democrat, exactly the kind I have supported all my adult life, although I will admit to being far more left-wing during my teenage years and early 20s.

To be totally out of the closet, I actually embrace every part of Obama's agenda, right down to the increase on personal taxes and the mortgage deduction. I am a fierce environmentalist who has donated multiple acres to the state of New Jersey to keep forever wild. I believe in cap and trade. I favor playing hardball with drug companies that hold up the U.S. government with me-too products.

The only explanation for Kramer (and several of my good and intelligent friends) thinking that Obama would be a “middle-of-the-road Democrat” is Kramer’s failure to do the degree of due diligence in his candidate analysis that his viewers assume he does when analyzing individual stocks and the market.

11:07 I realize it takes you very little effort to cut and paste your wingnut talking points here, but you should know that it takes us even less effort to entirely skip over them.

Meek’s a unqualified product of misguided guilt and family heirloom political welfare, just like the tard Gussy boy.

Boy, the Clintons are really lining up behind the wrong candidate. Meek couldn't run a lap without his mommy's help, much less a statewide campaign for US Senate. Better be content with what you've got, Meekers.

judging from the comments here, Meek looks like he's worrying some folks. big time.

1:30 may be correct… but not for the reason he/she thinks. I worried what promoting another clueless, opportunistic, self-serving, do-nothing, family heirloom politician will continue to do to this once great nation.

[Maestrelis]

Eh, not really, 130pm. I'm more concerned some little momma's boy with a deluded sense of entitlement is going to swoop in to the race early on, dry up support and fundraising for other more qualified though less well-known candidates who sincerely want the best for Floridians. Politicians of the ilk of Meek are not in public service for the virtue of public service. Rather, they are in public service to suckle from the teat of federal government. They are in it finance a millionaire's lifestyle. They are in it without the good intentions necessary to serve the public well.
