This last one is a bit fudgy as it can go from benign requests for some Slave Reparations all the way to a dramatic demand for a shift to Communism and overthrow of the current government. (If this last one is true, that really help explains the Nation of Islam, William Ayers, Farrakhan, Wright, Rezko and Obama connection). <BR/><BR/>And you think America will just let this slide? Don't think so - just watch Fox News - the number one cable news network to get an idea of the GOP attacks coming. It will be brutal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-61873836381562117372008-06-03T04:02:00.000-07:002008-06-03T04:02:00.000-07:00First off - you cannot compare Bill Clinton's bein...First off - you cannot compare Bill Clinton's being third at this time in the polls in 1992 to this contest. This has been the most drawn out primary ever in history with candidates hotly competing in all 50 states for 15 months, incredible media coverage, and tremendous public attention to politics (as well as greater access to info and news because of the internet and cable news network's 24/7 coverage). Obama has reached his height and is now entering the phase of utter collapse - there is no way he can recover, especially once the GOP is able to pin Black Liberation Theology (Wright) and Nation of Islam (Farrakhan) on him, as well as Communism charges (Ayers) - as well as explain in lurid scary details what those theologies mean and violently believe (if you don't know about it - it's truly worth looking into if you still support Obama - it will knock your socks off). People will be RUNNING to the polls in Nov to vote AGAINST Obama when those pearls come out and is played on national broadcasting, commercials, as well as via emails/pamphlets by the 527's. <BR/><BR/>Second - Hillary did not come into office solely because of her husband. That is a sexist statement to make. She became a senator based on her own accomplishments in public life - such as reforming the school system in Arkansas to move it from last place in the country to a proud system now, attempting health care reform, being a close political adviser to a Governor and President on both domestic and foreign issues, representing our country amazingly abroad in over 80 countries, and an incredible campaigner who helped Bill win in Arkansas and in the country. Anyone who studied Bill Clinton's career knows that he would never have been where he is without Hillary. She was directly involved in all his campaign bids and governing decisions. Bill admitted to this way before Hillary ever even ran for Senate. She did not have a traditional first lady role, if anything, she was more of an Eleanor Roosevelt or Mrs. Wilson. Except unlike them, governmental leadership positions are actually truly available to women now. In the Senate, she extended her hand to Republicans to get real legislation done. From S-CHIP to provide middle-class families' children with health insurance to working aggressively for veteran's benefits as well as 9/11 workers who were neglected by Bush. She championed the farmer's plight in NY- and thus won their overwhelming support in her reelection bid. She has built on her foreign policy experience with many years now in the Senate Armed Services Committee. <BR/><BR/>She is a champion of ALL Americans and has a proven track record of getting things done. She relates to middle class America because she and Bill came from those very roots. And she is the only one who can fix this country after the mess the GOP has done. Hillary is our only option for America's future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-63068605898813315632008-06-02T19:00:00.000-07:002008-06-02T19:00:00.000-07:00Name one office Hillary has received that was not ...Name one office Hillary has received that was not due to her husband. Wal Mard Board? Rose Law Partner?Senator? Everything she has gotten was due to her name recognition as First Lady (in AR or US). Nothing dshe personaaly has done. Now--she was the leader in this race. It was a foregone conclusion she had the nomination. Her people believed it, also. They had all the money and all the free time of the ex-Prez and his contacts. This is the first large job as executive that Hillary ever had. She ran it into the ground and into bankruptcy and second place! Oh yes--she had the popular vote---if you count FL where Obama with very little name recognition at the time wasn't allowed to campaign and MI where he took his name off the ballot (as well as Edwards) and did not campaign so he got zero votes--oh and don't count the states with caucauses since we don't know the true votes. Oh yeah--didn't Hillary say MI and FL don't mean anything?<BR/>Is this how she would run the country---into the ground?<BR/>Why would women want a person to represent their gender who got to her position because she married into it instead of earning her way? I wouldn't be proud of that. I'd rather have someone who had work her own way into the office.<BR/>Now I wonder who Hillary will say was the cause of her losing? I guess it isn't the right wing conspiracy---she said they caused Monica to lie. Let's see---oh yes--she lost because of the press and because she was a woman---the only reason she was ever a senator to begin with. Does anyone really believe she would have been a US Senator (much less stealing the chair in NY) if she hadn't been married to Bill? The only reason she is still in the race is she wants to Burn the Democratic chances this go round so she only has to wait 4 years instead of 8 to try again. This is all about the Clintons---not the country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-1317089371964526942008-06-02T15:56:00.000-07:002008-06-02T15:56:00.000-07:00It is rather interesting that the drivers of the b...It is rather interesting that the drivers of the bus are telling the passengers to drive faster.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469878010176319101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-39323167187323299382008-06-02T15:53:00.000-07:002008-06-02T15:53:00.000-07:00"Luckily the opinion of cyber warriors like you me..."Luckily the opinion of cyber warriors like you mean next to nothing."<BR/><BR/>But the opinions of 17 million people do so keep those carrots in your ears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-7140237960175818262008-06-02T15:45:00.000-07:002008-06-02T15:45:00.000-07:00"You could at least use the phrase "purported vide..."You could at least use the phrase "purported video", or "alleged video"," <BR/><BR/>I dont use the term often because its a cliche, but "buzz" means "purported". <BR/><BR/>But I assume from your remarks that if such a video does exist you will, like most rational people, be appalled by it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-75547353791535270452008-06-02T14:59:00.000-07:002008-06-02T14:59:00.000-07:00Luckily the opinion of cyber warriors like you mea...Luckily the opinion of cyber warriors like you mean next to nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-66876984821833765112008-06-02T14:53:00.000-07:002008-06-02T14:53:00.000-07:00Right on!

Nov is a LONG time away. When Bill Clinton won the nomination in 1992, he was in third place, and then he throughly trounced George bush by the time in Nov. Things can change. Finally, while Hillary can win in appalachia, which is true, it is also true, that Obama can win in the west, which is also critical. The key thing to note, is that Hillary can win in Nov, however, Obama has two options. Win Enormously or Lose Enormously. Either way, the Democrats are taking this kind of chance. We'll have to see what happens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3820377390281203107.post-17801307223570495182008-06-02T13:14:00.000-07:002008-06-02T13:14:00.000-07:00Pelosi fails to see the irony in her claim that sh...Pelosi fails to see the irony in her claim that she was deceived into voting to authorize military action in Iraq by the very man she regularly accuses of having less intelligence than a garden slug.<BR/><BR/>Pelosi stated in an interview in the SF Chronicle that she believes her greatest accomplishment as Speaker has been keeping bills from reaching the floor for debate.

This is how Democrats have behaved and governed when they were in the minority (and caused me to change my voter registration from ‘D’ to ‘I’ in July of 2006 after 40 years being a registered D and after sending both Pelosi and Dean a six page letter outlining my disgust) and now while they are in the majority.

It is unbelieveable to me that so many Democratic politicians are so stupid that they are willing to back Obama when he has a good chance of losing (in an election that was suppose to be ours for the picking). Haven't they learned anything after Humphrey, McGovern, Mondale, Dukakis, Gore, Kerry?? We have had only three Democratic presidents in the past 40 years and they were all Southern with "regular guy" personas-approachable and non-elitist. Hillary has proven her ability to win over the South and yet the Democrats would rather going down fighting for a phoney, arrogant dilettante. This may be the end of the Democratic Party-I know it is the end of my 40 year relationship with these losers!Marrosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040405479858214404noreply@blogger.com
