The Clintons’ Patronizing Strategy

Billary//HRC and her repulsive spouse are two of a kind. She is a low-life liar and mud slinging hardcore feminist who will do anything to get her self-entiitled place in the whitehouse. She has been watching and probably cheering him on through all of his abuse of women. Yes, it's her business if her husband is a lying adulterer but it is my business if I have to be force fed another display of his treacherous behavior. They are horrific and this country doesn;t need to witness their antics anymore.

Southeren Bell, I understand Obama comments that Regan tranformed politics. I disliked his policies for they where very harmfull to the most vunerable Americans, With this said Regan was hard to dislike even with his voodoo economics that were injurise to many in this nation. As a black person in his fifties I was taken aback. The real problem for me was the timing. This was an opportunity for the canidate to address the black constituants in SC but that did not happen. As a life time democrate I and many others are tired of this party thinking we owe them our vote or it is automatic. We share many of the same issues as the rest of the nation but have like any other group particular issues that need to be addressed.

Mrs. Clinton had better be careful. If she happens to win the nomination she'll have a BIG problem on her hands. She and Bill have so angered the Democratic activists that support Obama that she'll be lucky if they show up at the polls and vote for her, let alone knock on doors and work to get out the vote. BAD, BAD move on her part. She is everything that some of us said she was - ambitious to a fault, calculating beyond reason, and willing to split her party in her pursuit of winning.
This may turn out to be a crummy election - her on one side and "let's go to war" John McCain on the other. How sad for the American people!!

The Bill and Hillary show is disgraceful. Now I realize what the Republicans gave been so infuriated about . Ironically as they fragment the Democrats, their nominatioin would unify the Republicans. Will the democratic primary voter figure this out in time are will they blow another chance at the White House.
Obama is the only logical chioce for 2008.

It is damaging to the party. If Hillary is the candidate, I WILL vote Republican. She has shown her true colors with these attacks on Obama. Personality does matter.

I like both Hilary and Obama but I am very put off by Bill Clinton chiming in and as a result will vote for Obama in the California primary. As a former president of the United States Bill Clinton's words carry far more authority and influence than your ordinary candidate's spouse and as such he should be responsible and mindful in what he says. Obviously he is not and I am extremely disappointed in the Clintons..

The only way you are going to get the kind of change Obama speaks about to occur during the next Presidency is to do a total House and Senate Cleansing. You vote out the incumbant and start over with an entirely green bunch, but a bunch highly motivated to do the will of the people. There would be no status quo, lobbyists would lose their stronghold and have to try to rebuild their powerful networks. I'm all for that and have wanted it for some time. I don't like the fact that those in the House and Senate have a good salary, don't work as many hours as I do, have unlimited Health benefits for life after theyleave, but won't do my bidding or the bidding of the majority of voters. While we still can, doing a Congressional Cleansing would have far reaching benefits for the voters, but it ain't going to happen.

Those labeling the Clintons as being some kind of demonic figures have no respect from me. It demonstrates how shallow of beings they are, and, it shows that the Republican Noise machine is being successful at getting labels afixed to Dems so you have Dems bad mouthing other Dems. The Clintons should be admired as to how well they have held up over decades of unfair press and relentless attacks on their business and personal lives, in an attempt to derail the Democratic party. Are you really not going to support HRC if she is the nominee? So you'd vote Republican before supporting your party's nominee. I am very ashamed of you. You do not deserve to be a Democrat. You are pathetic and ignorant beyond hope if you are truly serious. If you think that kind of talk would sway someone to switch their candidate support you are gravely mistaken.

I'll support the Dem nominee whoever it is; however, I'll forecast this . . . if Obama is the nominee , gets elected President ,and the Republicans are not an overwhelming minority in Congress, then we are in for 4 to 8 years of slander, drummed up charges, and unjustified investigations into inpropriety. He will never get a chance to enact policy becuase they will put him on the defense starting on day 1 of his Presidency, and he will be spending all his time defending himself. They have already done this to HRC. Who will want to go through it again on her? It would be more inclined to backfire than against Obama.

Those of you who are "so sickened by the Clintons" advertise the extent of you gullibility and are resigning yourself to a long time of ill feelings if she becomes the next President. I really hope she does become our next Presdient so she has the chance to squelch the fears of those who assasinate her character from within her own party. To those who think its more of a major historical event to have a Black President than a Woman President, I totally disagree. To those who think it will be easier to elect Obama President than HRC, I want some of what your are smokin'. I'm a man who wants to see something other than a dick in the Presidency before I die.

Thank you Mr.Alter!! I have always liked the Clintons but am really turned off by these attacks by Hillary. Attack O'Bama's present votes, his health care plan or the merits of foreign policy but stop calling him names are just referring to his policies as dumb or the like. I am smarter than that and I am ashamed that after what she endured at the hands of the Republicans, she would use such tactics. I want us as Democrats to be above the fray - fight about policy and substance not just see who can win the insult contest. I want our ideas to be better not just beat them like a schoolyard brawl. For these reasons, I find it more and more difficult to support her.

I would also like to point out that the media prefers the schoolyard brawl. It is more exciting and gets better ratings. Just look at the debates and the questions asked. The moderators seemed to be in search of a fight rather than clarification of policy.

Couldn't get past the third paragraph of this article. Where is your data to support such an outlandish unjournalistic statement that voters aren't as dumb as the Clintons think they are? This kind of so-called Journalism is what the mainstream voters are really sick and tired of reading.

Obama supporters: Man I love where your hearts are, but its one thing to talk about major changes in Washington and the government, its a whole different thing to enact it. You have to have enough respect by those across the aisle to make them bi-partisan enough to allow change to occur. Obama does not have the networking to pull it off. How could he? He's in his first term as an Illionois Senator and has spent the entire time running for President. A hell of a lot of us know his timing is wrong by about 8 years. Do you honestly think that after the last 8 years of Right Wing politics that any Dem Candidate will be able to swing the pendulum past center and to the Left? We need to swing that pendulum in controlled measures so as to never lose Congressional power and let corruption again Govern us. HRC is the best person to get that pendulum swinging left by first taking us more to the center.

Thank you, Jonathan, for hitting the nail on the head. The Clintons' smear tactics and distortion of the truth make my head spin. How Bill Clinton has ANY credibility remaining among Democrats is a mystery to me. When campaigning in Iowa we heard from his own lips that he had wisely expressed opposition to the invasion of Iraq -- if only he had! In fact, there was no judicious leadership from either Clinton when our country desperately needed it; just the opposite. I guess that???s what 35 years of experience gets you. Now we hear from Bill Clinton that Barack Obama's record of opposition is a fairy tale. How's that for an alternate reality? Up is down and down is up. Enough already. Thankfully, in 2008, we CAN turn the page. Change we can believe in--Obama '08.

You're wrong.

I'm a well-educated Democrat who became very angry at Obama's words concering the Republican's having "fresher" ideas. I completely disagree with that statement and believe he is very ignorant of the realities of those Republcian "ideas" in the 80s and 90s or is pandering to independents and conservative Democrats.

The media just isn't getting why so many Democrats are angry at Obama.
