    A large amount of Hispanics choose Hillary because they simply can't take having a Black president. While there are in fact now more Hispanics than blacks in America, their numbers only recently exceeded Blacks due to illegal immigration. Blacks and Native Americans are the only "non-immigrants" in America. Everyone else here "Migrated" by choice! Blacks built the greatest country ever to exist, and then fought and died for the civil rights of all people of color, to include hispanics, and make up a disproportionate amount of Armed Forces service members. I find it amazing that Hispanics feel "envy" or "jealousy" to the degree that they would rather support Hillary rather than submit to the candiate whose race built the greatest country ever to exist. As if Hispanics weren't already getting a free ride...and still aren't satisfied... Benjamin O. Davis, McNair, MLK, Oprah, George Washington Carver, Frederick Douglas...the list of "true" Americans that have led this country through difficult times to too long to list. African slaves were castrated, hung, whipped, disemboweled, raped, amputated, chained, drug, burned and any other imaginable atrocity you can think of. They still built this country and died for civil rights...for Hispanics, Asians and all people of color. No wonder America prefers Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Obama over anu Hispanic candidate. I guess that's why so many white supporters are in Obama's corner. I could care less if any illegal immigrants support Obama. Blacks have nothing to prove in the country they built. What have Hispanics done other than inundate our schools, emergency rooms and highways with non-taxed/un-insured parasites? I'd rather Obama lose than be supported by a race of people that have done nothing but introduce MS-13 and other idiotic gang elevation to America. Please go back to Mexico...

    Maybe GOD Will Save Her.. If She Repents..?
    On SUNDAY??
    OH No She Didn't.??

    SHAME ON YOU HOLLARY !!!
    For Todays (SUNDAY) Sacrelege, blasphemy, and Atheism..
    Mocking the Christian belief in Salvation.
    Poking fun and Sarcasm at Believing that Heaven can Open up the sky to those who believe. Laughing at the notion that there are Celestial Angelic Choirs in the Heavens, Hurling sarcasm at those who would believe they can hear. Laughing at Hope.. Laughing at GOD..!!!
    Hillary..Can you say Moses?
    Did he not part the Red Sea and free his people from the Pharoh?
    Who are you Hillary Rodham to tell us all not to believe that all things are possible through our Lord Our God?
    It is dillusional to Hope The Lord God would ever extend his ever redeeming, ever forgiving ever everlasting Love to Our Nation? To America and her United States Citizens??
    Its dillusional On SUNDAY to think this could be possible ?? 2/24/08
    One thing is certain..It won't be possible under your leadership. You are a non-believer.
    I suppose that deceased Dallas Police Officers family should abandon any HOPE for his Salvation. His life was lost performing a difficult and demanding job too. There aint NO GOD coming for him either. Right Hillary??
    May God have mercy on your immortal soul Hillary Rodham.
    SHAME ON YOU HILLARY RODHAM
    The Lord works in mysterious ways....
    And today God exposed your true dark soul to the world. And In so doing, the Nation and the World will be better served.

    Another example of politicians who prostitute themseves to any group in order to get in office. Even though we have millions of illegal aliens in this country, people like Clinton look at them as potential new voters to keep themselves in power regarless of their damage to the country. Though they ignore us trying to court minority votes so much, I think these candidates should not discard us red blooded Americans too much, we still hold the balance of power in this country.

    how is it that you have confidence in this woman, that can not even have enough dignity to manage her own marriage, standing by while her husband makes a mockery of our country, insults intelligent women of this country, and is obviously skilled in his lies and deceit for the entire run of their marriage, and she proclaims to be a leader? She demonstrates to highly educated, affluent women of all ages, races, and professions that she is still subservient to the humilation of her husband, and how then does she provide leadership to this country as the ultimate ambassador and representative of the United States? I find this deplorable that women are not uniting to find a female candidate that is of character, dignity and untenable leadership at home and professionally. Hillary, you will not have my vote. You can count on the fact that I do not support your calculated approach to the terminable end that you would sacrifice your own dignity and humiliation for the sake of personal agenda. To me, that is not a servant leader. No thank you

      You don't manage a marriage or are you married-better check to find out if they are cheating-hurry. She had other more important things to do. Lets make people responsible for their own actions-you cannot control someone elses behaviour!!!!!!

      I agree with you! As much as having a women president sounds nice, i think that woman arent that strong to take on a job like this! Dont think i am being sexest because i am two a women ,but she isnt impressing me one bit!

        Women are hard working, the best of a husband, and never given the credit or respect. As women ,we should know better to not blame for MEN's actions - dirty dogs! MENdigos (SOB's); MENsos (dumb asses); ,MENtirosos (liars!). It's time to take this opportunity of representation for your wives, daughters, mothers, aunts, sisters, grandmothers!

    What we have here is a failure to understand. Everyone gets excited when it's personal, when there is something on the line. Problem is, there is too much excitement and not one of Obama's supporters is listening. They just want to spread the frenzy. Which seems to be the problem. Obama's supporters are stuck with no brain activity to respond when asked what he stands for, what he's done to stir the masses.......he's run a good campaign they say, he's an agent of change. This we can not allow. We've already lived thru this period of no ideas, we do not need another. Obama can have the black vote, the liberal vote, he can even get the rick vote. But he will not get the Texas vote.

    Can someone please enlighten me and tell me if any of Obama's speeches ever end with "God bless America"? I'm not sure if I heard him or not. Maybe that would stop the religious inuendos if he is indeed christian as we know christianity to be. Otherwise havng been a follower of Louis Farakhan, (please forgive me if I spelled his name wrong) who believes in the destruction of the United States, if this is true, isn't that like sending the cows to slaughter?
    I know you should never mix religion and politics yet every other candidate has always made referrence to the loyalties of the United States as one nation under God.
    I guess like marketingtruth has been trying to tell us, think and look at the facts. Read this read that and when we do it gets scarier and scarier. Where are we heading?

    Hillary is the stronger candidate. I agree with the cult of personality style of this OBAMANATION. He is not my choice for anything. At first I thought that it would be cool, but I respect the seriousness of Hillary Clinton. She is friends, GEUINE friends of the Mexican people and many other Latinos feel the same. Obama supporters are given to vitriol and arguing and downright silliness. IT IS EASY TO PULL THE WOOL OVER IGNORANT PEOPLE WHO, TRUTH BE TOLD, ARE ABOUT AS INTELLIGENT AS KELLIE PICKLER! Sorry, but I appreciate a woman who can stand up to any man with straight up facts. I don't want passion and eloquence when what we need is STRENGTH and EXPERIENCE. I am 22 years old and not for Obama. Obama is just a straight perpretator, a fraud. Just because Oprah treated him like a Book of the Month club shows that she would choose RACE over REAL ISSUES. We are seeing that she likes to have white woman line her pockets since 1986, yet she jokes all over the place how white people are eating out of her hand. I am not into Oprah. Isn't she one of those secret Scientologists?? She's trying to pull the wool over our eyes and lead us into a PUPPET PRESIDENCY, cause that is what is going to happen. They will ALL write his speeches. CHANGE CANNOT BE XEROXED!! lol That was the highlight of the night for me. Hillary has proven to be the one to knock down the Republicans. Obama is fluff. Latinos see through this. And, all the Black people who are jumping on Latino backs just so that we do like them is SELFISH. They portray the Latino youth as being for Obama overwhelmingly. FALSE. This is just more of their propaganda to hate on Hillary. We pick the best choice and we don't hate on people just because they arte Black or whatever. Obama is not a strong candidate. He just has the backing of Hollywood, a place FULL of cult members and nuts. This is WHY the media is biased the way it is. But, Latinos have seen FOR THEMSELVES that Hillary is for us. She has a solid background and hers IS the change we can believe in. Enough with Obama and his MIERDA TALK. Mexicans 4 Hillary.

    Hillary Clinton blocked our appeal for continued Health Care Benefits. 9/11 workers need continued health care the Hillary blocked it. 5,000+ State and 3,000+ CITY workers lost the health care benefits and have appealed to Senator Clinton and she let us down. She turned her back on us.. She had the final say. We have no disablities, no medical at all because of the loopole she voted in. We went to court and the court was swayed by the lobbyist that support Haillry Clinton's campaign. She didn't do anything to help our State's Child care benefits so we may have quality care while we are seeking jobs that will employ us with our health issues.

    We need help and she isn't there for us in her own STATE.

    Now she wants to campaign for Universal Healthcare!! She is a liar for votes on this issue. She will say anything to get elected... She will keep doggin OBAMA on his words of copy catting a speech..

    GET REAL PEOPLE. We want Change people, not who's quoting who!! That is how low she needs to go to get votes. For goodness sake, we are not NAIVE HILLARY.

    She owes the New York State and City workers their rightful Benefits, we paid for them.

    HILLARY, We need healthcare NOW, you stopped it... PEOPLE DON'T SEE THIS...

    The leaders of both the Republican and Democratic Parties are moving us closer and closer to Socialism, away from our Constitution (the true Test of American Patriotism). Both major parties pushed through the Patriot Act (a direct violation of our civil liberties) allowing the Federal government (and the lawmakers) greater access in to our personal lives. We have welfare, medicare, and medicaid, all basically federal government subsidies for Americans as a socialist distribution of wealth and commodities. Then, we have the continuation of undeclared War (a direct violation of our Constitution), allowing the President (or socialist leader) the ability to unilaterally decide whether our country (our Americans) go fight in another country using military resources and costing volunteer military lives.
    The very core values of America that the founding fathers of our country laid out for us are being destroyed, and our nation is moving in a perilous direction. The American people need to Wake up from their Slumber, and start helping educate their fellow Americans that we are not Socialists, but in fact we are a Nation of Patriots (people who live by and die for civil liberty as well as individual rights).
    Our country sorely needs a third party that will rejuvinate and unify the 40% of Americans that usually don't vote, to overcome the two party system of the Socialist Democrats and Socialist Republicans. Individuals always care for other individuals through charity and good deeds, the Federal government steals from individuals to line the pockets of the Corporations and maintain power for itself, leaving whatever remains recycled back to the American people.
    Stop sleep walking into Socialism --- Wake up and fight for our Founding Fathers core values of freedom and equality for all! Freedom from the Federal government intervention! Freedom from excessive taxation!

    "There's only "a dime's worth of difference" between the Republican and Democratic parties, and they're fighting over that dime! "
    Obama, Clinton, McCain, Huckabee --
    1. All voted to continue funding the Iraq War.
    2. All support "comprehensive immigration reform" -- Washington speak for Amnesty for illegal aliens. They want their big corporation buddies to be happy now don't they with their cheap labor. Meanwhile we pay higher taxes to offset the burden that would put on Social security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare. If you subsidize something you get more of it, the more we subsidize illegal immigration the more we will get of it, and the more illegal alien families will be affected and hurt by risking their lives and living in terrible conditions.
    3. All wish to enact some socialist program or another for the "greater good" -- Translation, we want you to pay higher taxes so we (the federal government) can spend it in the way that benefits our special interest group. Obama (Health care insurance companies), Clinton ( Pharmaceuticals), McCain (Military industrial complex including all military corporations), Huckabee (Military industrial complex).
    4. All are for reforming Washington and ridding it of government and lobbyist control (well so they say).
    5. All support the Patriot Act (a direct violation of our civil liberties)

    People of color have been waiting for this opportunity all thier lives. They did not want to vote until now. I wonder how many of them voted for JFK? They seem to liken Obama to JFK. I still don't feel he is ready but if this trend continues well, you may not like him but he will command respect. Just like good old GW. I am a Hillary supporter. Maybe if her name was Harry and male, she may have had a chance. My concerns is even Edwards said that Obama's healthcare is a weak solution. Our citizens are in trouble. How many of you young people are ready to take care of your parents? I see a reverse trend of elderly being disadvantage. How about the housing foreclosures? We will need to wait a little bit longer for that to turn around. As for foreign relations, well I don't know, I wouldn't be surprised if the other countries refuse to do business with America. Immigration, who knows. We know where the republicans are coming from, yet, people are willing to put all thier hopes that change will come. Unfortunately we need solutions for change to happen. He truly has no clue how to solve the issues we are facing.

    Aiday - You add nothing to the discussion! Hillary has NOMINAL more real experience than Obama and is most probably hamstrung by the past. It is totally illogical to claim that she has presidential level experience by being Bill's first lady (well, almost...that title really goes to whoever was in front of him at any particular time). Look at some first ladies who accomplished something and made a real difference - she only promised this and that and did nothing!! Then she created a residence in NY so she could run for senator - just like she creates opinions and sound bites to fit the cowd rather than standing up for what she truly believes. We need a leader, someone who can make a difference and lead this country in a very difficult and troubled time, not someone who is pollitically expedient or who cries to show she cares!!! A leader needs to be able to handle themselves and their emotions while igniting the proper passions within people to accomplish the goals they BELIEVE is best for the country.

    • Posted By: librarygirl @ 02/22/2008 6:11:26 PM

      She did accomplish something, she is a Senator in one of the most populated states in the country and was in politics and government when Obama was in high school. Tell me something, Obama is a decent man and I agree with the majority of his views, but isn't his job in Washington? Correct me if I'm wrong but I was certain that they refer to him as Senator Obama so doesn't that mean he is part of the people in the government that he says do not care about the American people? Think about it, he is part of the system already, so what's so different about that.? He talks like them and walks like them no matter the best of intentions, he is one of them caught up in the same games, succombing to the same pressures. He would have more credibility with me if he actually dressed in hoodies and long shorts or jeans. Senator Clinton is to but she has connections, the passion and the tenacicity to get the job done. She may not make you feel all warm and fuzzy like Obama, but she cares. I agree Obama is a very inspirational person but so are preachers and rock stars doesn't mean they should be President!

  • Posted By: whataboutthis? @ 02/22/2008 5:24:31 PM

    Clinton equals experience, intelligence, background, battle-testedness. Obama equals hope, inspiration, freshness, excitement. Take your pick. Whatever it is, they will be the next president.

    I am Latina, born and raised in Austin, Texas, and a student at the University of Texas. My vote is with Clinton. She has more experience and she is willing to listen to the people. Obama is a wonderful public speaker but I feel that Clinton has a better percentage for success as President. If Obama fails he will have to rely solely on himself not to mention there are too many lunatics out there in the US who are threatening him everyday. But as far as Clinton is concerned if she fails who can she rely on? Hmm....maybe her husband? Former President of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who was in office for how many terms? How many years? Exactly.

    Experience. Connections. Heart.

    She has it all.

    Does anyone believe an afroamerican candidate cares about the latino?

    • Posted By: karcervt @ 02/22/2008 12:29:18 PM

      Yes? Why do you think that's not possible? If it's possible for a white candidate to care about Latinos, why not an African American. That's a terrible stereotype that keeps disenfranchised people fighting each other rather than the super-rich who control this country.

    OBAMA is far superior. I pity anybody to naive to see it.

      The general public seems to believe what they hear on TV. Obama has more money to spend on hype rallies and publicity....and that makes him superior?... what about experience? Hillary is a knowledgeable, experienced seasoned person to be the President that this country needs in this time of enormous trouble. People, it is not a concert, it is our future.

  • Posted By: Aiday @ 02/21/2008 7:43:56 PM
