A Democratic Muddle

To "The Broker" : Maybe we should feel the same way about people that are illiterate and don't know how to spell Democratic. Sincerely Born & raised in the USA; daughter of Mexican Immigrants

Unfortunately I don't think this country is just quite ready (especially the older population) for a: A female president & B: A person of color, especially one with a name that rhymes with OSAMA! I really don't think where they stand on the issues is what the older people even care about. I have over 400 clients in my business with the average age between 65 & 70 and that is their mentality!? So maybe next after some of these older small minded people die off will be get a president elected based on what they stand for and not based on their WASP upbringing.

I must admit, it is a bit ironic that her speeches are all based on change, yet she has already been in the White House and at least to me represents a ???seen that done that??? scenario. Obviously, there is a big difference between being the First Lady and being President, but I still feel that both Hillary and Bill had there time. Let???s all move on from the past 2 administrations.

Obama's revivals are fine for now but how is that tactic going to work in White House meetings - meetings with foreign dignitaries, etc? He's a cheerleader - he and his friend Oprah. I'm sorry, I do not believe that Obama has the political experience to occupy the highest office in the land. 2012 should be his year - we need the strength, dignity and experience possessed by Hillary Clinton. She has been in the game for a very long time and has suffered through crushing failures - both politically and personally and she still has the moxy to stand up - dust herself off and continue to strive to work for what is in the best of interest of ALL American citizens - not just some of them. The smart choice is Hillary.

I can tell you one thing right now. If Hillary is given the nomination, I will vote republican and I'm a die hard Democrat. You better believe that if Hillary gets the nod, she WILL NOT get the majority of Obama's supporters. We're sick of the same old thing in washington. We need a change of direction and Hillary has proven through her voting that she is incapable of going against the grain, even if it's the right thing to do. I'm not being racial, nor am I calling Hillary supporters idiots, however, stop looking at what she promises to do and start looking at the fact that Republicans hate Bill and Hillary and everything they stand for. She is incapable of affecting change in Washington. I hope you wake up or it's going to be a long 4 years.

I live in Illinois, so I guess I'm supposed to vote for Obama. Why? Because this is his home state. Oh, that's a great reason. Actually, I'm against Obama and it's because I'm from Illinois. Obama ran pretty much unopposed here, because the Republican candidate for Senator, who was a solid challenger, dropped out of the race when his ex-wife revealed he liked kinky sex and suggested a threesome. Ooh, clearly Jack Ryan couldn't be a good leader, then! So, a last second fill-in was chosen, Alan Keyes, who is a nut and offered no competition. Obama spoke a good game about all the things he was going to do. He looked like he might actually be a leader. But no, before he does or learns anything, he runs for President. If he gets in, he won't be able to do anything because Congress won't respect him and will be jealous. He has failed to deliver on his promises to Illinois because of his campaign. I didn't vote for him so that he could run for President; I voted for him to be an Illinois Senator. Once he's proven himself with a few terms, if he wants to run, great. Right now, I have nothing by which to gage him, except for the fact that he isn't doing his job and has broken that promise to Illinios, already. That's not a good trait. Also, he seems hungry to be President; impatient to wait until he has more experience or afraid he will screw up and taint his record. I don't want an impatient President or one afraid to make a mistake.

Obama also has flipped personalities. He used to talk about the issues; now, he just shrieks, "Change... change... change... I'm exicted... change!" Who makes the least change in government and the status quo? The candidates who scream about "Change!"

Gotta go with Clinton; has the experience, has paid her dues, shows extreme patience, both with her husband and in her own policital career.

Truthfully, neither is a leader. Once again, no leaders are running, just politicians. Politicians want to see their names in history books; leaders write history.

Colin Powell and Al Gore, where are you guys? You are the candidates we need! Scratch that; you are the leaders we need!

(part of my entry today on my blog DId You Stop to Think?)

Since a lot of people refuse to believe that Obama has ties to Islam in any way, let's deal with the facts and forget the theory: Obama belongs to a Church that pledges allegiance to Africa and which demands an adherence to a "Black Value System"; this Church's leader frequently refers to "White Arrogance" in his sermons. Now let's simply turn the tables for a minute, and substitute "Black" for "White". If ANY White Presidential Candidate was even accused of belonging to an organization that pledged allegiance to Europe, a "White Value System", which frequently referred to "Black Arrogance", how long do you think it would take for the people to put an end to that? The fact is that stupid ass White people in this Country are made to feel so guilty about a slavery, that they refuse to put an end to double standards. By the way, I'm White and I still think most White people are stupid, because I realize that not a single one of us alive today has ever owned a slave and that we have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. "White Guilt" is what Black people use to get us to give them things for free. So listen up White people - when you wake up one day and President Obama has taken your money and given it to Black people, and he has made all of his "Change" happen, realize that YOU made this ObamaNation.

Senator Obama cannot possibly dictate those who are already in the House and the Senate to "unite" and approve his ways of bringing "change" to United States of America when he becomes the president. Politics has always been divisive and and that is why we have "campaigns" and we vote based on our differences. Republicans and Democrats in the House and Senate will not start holding hands and crossing this so-called "bridge to the 21st. century" only because Senator Obama tells them to do so. These representatives have their own political agendas, special interest ties and support bases and they will not disappear overnight on 20th January 2009.

Uniting voters who desperately need some inspirational speeches after 8 years of enduring the Bush Administration to stand up and cheer for you is one thing. Getting republican and democratic representatives in the house and senate to pass bills and make laws and listen to you and support your initiatives requires a totally set of skills and criteria.

Voters need to assess whether this country needs a democratic preacher to lead, or a democratic fighter to lead. The image of a perfect candidate to unite this country that you perceive comes from the craftsmanship of American media outlets and the candidate's own inspirational speeches given from a stage high above the ground. However, do these speeches and does this image give you insights and indepth look into this candidate's character? What kinds of changes is he inspired to bring to this country? Are those changes going to bring resilience to the economay, security to our jobs, strength to the national security, effectiveness to our foreign policies, friendliness to the environment, and advances to science and technology? What are those changes any way? When you cross this bridge to the 21st century, what will be our destination? Has anyone found out answers to these questions. Please share because I'm curious what this "movement" is all about. I have no clue at the moment.

Whty does the media hate the Clintons so much. Obama keeps saying he is for the working and middle class but all his support is from the wealthier voters. I wonder how long it would take for Jeeie and Al Sharpton to be on T.V. yellign and screaming RACIST remarks if Hillary was getting 82% of the White Votes as Obama is getting from the Black Community. Why does the media not push Obama on the issues of GUN CONTROL and his watered down bill on Nuclear Plant regulations that he takes great pride in. Come on you NEWS MEDIA PEOPLE and ask the real questions.
