A Democratic Muddle

I???m an American of Mexican decent who lives in California. I find the ignorant comments made on Fox, ABC, and CNN news about why the majority of us chose to support Hillary to be pathetic! Do these bimbos really think that we are passionate about illegal immigrants getting drivers licenses? PLEASE, are they for real? They really are exposing their ignorance on why Hillary has gained so much support from Latinos. For the record, Latinos in California are quite cable of voting for candidates who we believe to be the most qualified, competent, and experienced. Regardless of their skin color or gender. Hillary Clinton has a plan for "change," and doesn't just offer a bunch of rhetoric! It???s evident that she is extremely knowledgeable on issues facing our nation, and is prepared with a plan to resolve them. She also articulates her plan extremely well to the public by devoting a time to questions and answers during rallies, unlike Obama. Why doesn't he anyway? If he were as confident and prepared to lead as he emulates, shouldn???t he be as eager to communicate solutions to vital issues facing our nation. A majority of us not only want to know a candidates plan on solving important issues, we require it before we will vote for them. Otherwise it all sounds like the same familiar rhetoric made by former politicians who make promises, but can???t or won???t deliver. Wake up and smell the ballot box!

Based on this article Obama is implying that the super delgates should vote for whoever wins that state. It seems to me then he is saying that Ted Kennedy and John Kerry should cast their votes as super delegates for Hillary and not for Obama.

Also, did anyone else catch David Schuster last night on MSNBC? He asked if Hillary and Bill were "pimping out" Chelsea on the campaign trail. That seems a pretty poor choice of words but heck should I have expected any different from the sexists at MSNBC (Olbermann and Abrams excluded).

I am very much aware of politics as it affects everything in our daily lives. I took a whole day last week to really read up on all the platforms. It appears to me that there is no contest! McCain has done NOTHING in my state of AZ and he supports and continues to take on every screw up Bush has done in his almost 8 yrs in office. If you like Bush McCain is your man, a Bush clone! Hilary and Obama have nearly the same agendas. Only difference is that Obama spells out how is is going to achieve the much, much, MUCH needed changes in this country! He actually has a gameplan. Hilary is much less clear on how she will achieve what she wants in order to change the corrupt Whitehouse and give Americans back their country. I am all for Obama. We need some new blood in the Whitehouse, and I believe he is the one that can band everyone together. He has a very nice background and good values, also has his undergraduate degree in international relations. After Bush managed to get nearly the whole world hating us, maybe that's exactly what we need about now. I always told my own son that it taks a much, much, MUCH bigger man to discuss and negoiate to solve a rift than to just punch someone in the mouth when you disagree. That punch in the mouth mentality is where Bush and McCain are at, and that is NOT the way to solve problems. In Bush's case it was being angry at one person (Bin Laden), then punching a different guy in the mouth. (Sadaam) I think it is way past the time to get this country back on track to where it should be. Bck to the people. I think Obama is genuine in his hopes to do that! However, Bush has messed up this country sooooooooooooo bad, that it will probably take 5 more presidents to fix it!

First I want to tell you that I am white and I have been helping the Obama campaign, while I was helping to inform people where to vote, I didn't see one Clinton supporter being active in our community. That is a crucial role in being president, they need to understand us not just get an overview. Obama has lived in America just like a normal person, he hasn't received the watered down version of our problems. "EXPERIENCE" Isn't something you get by watching your husband spend 8 years in office, we all saw that, it seems we all have the same experience as Hillary. Also we need a stong leader that has "EPERIENCE" in staying firm on what is right, unlike Hillary who was voted for the war and now says she was uninformed, let me remind you our country was informed, somehow it must have skipped her? I don't think so! What will she change her views on now? I can just see it now, if she gets into office she will decide oh healthcare isn't that important! We need a president that won't go back on his word and will stay firm in his promises.

You need to look at the statistics not every black person votes for a black candidate, they vote for who they think will benefit their country, just like everyone else does! You ought to spend less time generalizing and get informed on all of the things Hillary has done! Everyone knows if Hillary wins the primary the republicans will win the presidency again, she is the weakest candidate. Obama has come from almost nothing and is tied with Hillary a person that was famous for her husband she didn't earn what she has. If Hillary had done this by herself then yes, she could be considered as a president, but she hasn't! As for the "wounded and profusely bleeding economy" that is Obama's priority not Hillary's.

Are you saying that certain religions are superior to others? Why should his religious preference be the deciding factor of him being president or not, this is about presidency not a religous competition.

Yes Obama is a "Moticational Speaker" because he is sincere and real. He isn't some phony making promises that he won't keep, that is why people listen to him, unlike Hillary who won't even spend as much time talking to people. She is so worried about the delagates she is forgetting about the people she is going to represent.

ok i do not like obama at all because he is too young to be president. and obama wents the war to go on.and me as a person do not went the war to go on i went are troops to come home.obama is not at all ready for the presidentey job.so i think hillary is ready for this.thank you

the only reason obama has won some states is because the african-american community is rallying behind him, can't blame them. But they are not enough to make him president. At the end of the dsay Hillary Clinton will come up on top, the smart thing for Obama is to be her VP for 8 years and then have enough experience for him to run as president that will give him an opportunity to be in the white house for a total of 16 years combine. That should be the task . He does not have experience just charisma and speech skills.

Bottom line: Barack is a non-patriot. He disgraces the American Flag and has the nerve to run for President. He has not given a detailed plan of action either. But the sheep will follow cause he's charismatic and young.

Newsweek, four hours ago I entered two short positive comments for my candidate, Senator Barack Obama. Where are they? Many of the anti-Obama comments below are ignorant and racist. Why are you allowing blog-style claptrap posted about the Senator? Are you showing your bias as a magazine?

The fact that Hillary loaned her campaign $5 million highlights a serious loophole in our campaign finances system. It also proves the fact that being President reaps personal financial rewards much greater than the Presidents salary.

How can the public be sure that the $5 million loan is not substantively financed from a large Hillary contributor? For example, suppose Hillary calls a large donor for campaign contributions. However, the donor cannot donate more because he has already reached the maximum. Well, they could make a deal for Hillary to loan the campaign fund (which there is no limit) and agree that Bill Clinton will be paid $5 million for several speaking engagements later. In substance (although not in form), the large contributor was able to donate more funds.

Also, it does not seem rational for Hillary to risk $5 million of her own funds in anticipation of being paid back later. Given the competitive race, even if she wins the presidency, the chances of ending up with a surplus to be paid back seem almost unlikely.

Of course, it may make some sense if being President itself will provide financial gain to the Clintons. Then it???s a business investment. But that raises issues of whether the President should be sought expecting personal financial gains. In this case, for the $5 million to be a rational investment, the Presidency would have to provide Hillary with at least a $5 million financial gain. Given the risk of winning, say 50%, the return must be $10 million.

Thus, the fact that Hillary invested $5 million just proves that being President has substantial financial rewards.

By the way, it appears that Hillary is willing to invest up to $20 million in this campaign.

i don't know why people would vote for OBAMA. THEY SHOULD REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS, AFTER ALL HE IS A MUSLUM. OPERA IS TO AND THEY PREACH BLACK POWER. IF HE GET IN , IS HE GOING TO TURN THE WHITE HOUSE IN TO A SHINE FOR HIS RELIGION ,TO PRAY?????

I am truly ashamed to be an american after seeing how many idiots actually voted for Barack. I have listened to him talk and he never actually says anything he just babbles the same psyco-babble that we always hear from politians. If he was so good at what he does he would not need Oprah to fund his campaign. I can't believe that with his close ties to hollywood that we as a people believe what hes saying, hes acting duh! He will continue to tell us what he thinks we want to hear, and if we give him the white house he will do with it what he sees fit. If Barack wins the election I will renounce my citizenship and mov out of the country cause there will be no more hope for the US. He speaks of a US that will no longer be devided, hes full of it, he will only devide us greater. If he wins we will be the black and white states of america!

Barack is a racist sexist idiot! he will be the end of our fine country.
