QUESTION: Does Hillary's Health Care Plan cover SUICIDE PREVENTION in the United States Armed Forces????
What no one is talking about is the impact of Hillary Clinton's lack of serious judgment. The Army has reported that 121 Soldiers committed Suicide, with over 2000 attempts in 2007. The stress of long tours in Iraq has forced some young men and women to take their own destiny in hand.
Hillary voted for this war... why isnt she apologizing to all parents who lost their children, either by enemy fire, friendly fire or suicide? She would not admit that she failed in judgment. OBAMA knew the war was wrong, and there was no clear strategy for the U.S. to exit out of Iraq when the mission was completed.
THE TRUTH is that Senator Dick Durbin admitted on the Senate Floor that members of the Intelligence Committee KNEW that President Bush and Dick Cheney were going to war on false pretences. John Edwards, who was on the Intelligence Committee at the time, voted for the war as well. You can watch at the following LINK the statement by Senator Dick Durbin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyonYGeyFb4
Some members of the Intelligence Committee voted AGAINST the War. Why wasnt Hillary's eyes open? She admits in the Senate that she SAW the Intelligence reports: WATCH HER HERE: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkS9y5t0tR0
And on top of all these Suicides, McCain wants to keep them there for 100 years? If Iranians, Al Queda or the insurgents dont kill our troops, they will kill themselves. Not to mention that Al Queda was NEVER in Iraq before Bush, McCain and Clinton Invaded Iraq. But all three wanted Saddam Hussien out of Power and they wanted control of billions of dollars in Oil.
SHAME ON HILLARY CLINTON! Part of Being President is being Accountable!!! Take responsibility for your vote to "Authorize Military Force on Iraq" and finally admit that you were WRONG!
John McCain - This time you have left men behind... to die at their own hand.

' "I Found My Own Voice" ': Readers debated the "tangled issues" swirling around Hillary Clinton. "I agree she's found her voice—only it's Bill Clinton's," one said. Another asked, "Can you imagine Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir getting teary on TV?" Others were supportive. "It's a mistake to minimize electing a woman versus a black man—and a sign of our blindness to the oppression that women have endured," one wrote. Another said: "The contrarians of New Hampshire wouldn't be manipulated into voting for the latest media darling."
On 'Health for Life': "While urologists like to point to the decline of deaths from advanced prostate cancer in the United States and claim it is from screening with the PSA test, deaths are also declining in Canada, Europe and Australia, where the PSA test is not used."

Hillary Clinton Finds Her Voice
As a female of a certain age group, perhaps I'm the type of voter who should have been nudged by Hillary Clinton's comment "I found my own voice" ("Letting Hillary Be Hillary," Jan. 21). I'm not a cynic, nor a Clinton hater, but I certainly expected that by now every presidential contender would be in quite solid possession of his or her "own voice." At a minimum, the comment is trite and manipulative, but if sincere, I find it a frightening admission from a candidate for the position of commander in chief and leader of the free world.

I applaud Sen. Hillary Clinton for seeking the presidency. She is a formidable, brilliant, vital and qualified candidate. The best candidate to represent women is apt to be a woman. Yet historically, women have been absent from the presidential ballot and female voters have reluctantly relinquished and forfeited their vote for the "better man." Perhaps in this presidential race, Clinton can galvanize and inspire women to vote, as in the case of New York's 2000 senatorial race, when 60 percent of registered voters tallied were women. Do the math: it adds up. If politicians fail to address the concerns of women voters, they lose. Hillary Clinton fights the battle for all women, and when Hillary wins, so do all women.

Before being overcome by the press's rhapsodizing over Hillary Clinton's comeback in New Hampshire, let me make sure I have something straight. When our nation's first viable female presidential candidate has a setback, like slipping to third place in the Iowa caucuses, her instinct is to tear up in public and sic Bill Clinton on her foes? In other words, when this paragon of feminism feels threatened, she cries and has her husband fix things. Do I have that wrong? If that's progress, I'll vote for the other guy.

No one is better poised to become president—regardless of whether she is the first viable woman candidate—than Hillary Clinton. So she choked up a little at a town meeting. How about NFL player Terrell Owens after his team's playoff loss? If men can cry, why can't women? The 2008 campaign has been overanalyzed. Showing some emotion, instead of just spouting sound bites, might well win the election. The American populace wants to connect, and tears are a common denominator.
