    I'm going back to my previous mindset. There is only one solution: vote for Thor of the Asguard.

    Hillary continues to accuse Obama of plagiarism::::Hillary says Obama can't claim to be the first "Black" prezident, that everybody knows Bill was......Oboma responded back that Hillary is stealing Bill's experience, just because she was married to the Ro-Dent she can't count that as experience, Just a bad choice, "being she does believe in choice". It is ashame her Mother didn't, right ?

    Sorry Jack but look at the numbers. Republicans are voting Obama. If he gets the nomination he will more likely be the next commander in chief. Thanks to the republicans whom hate Hillary so much they are crossing party lines to make sure she does not get the nomination. Obama nomination will make a runaway election.

    Alot of Republicans voted in these primaries to knock Hillary out.
    Now I think they are getting nervous , because they are just starting to realize , Obama can win. With Hillary, even though Republicans did not like her financial rules , they at least knew what they were . With Obama , they dont know what to expect. And if you are a Republican trying to make money, trying to invest, the last think you want is uncertainty.

    Touche' solvera. I am bashing Obama on his ability to do the job. I really do support him but Hillary ismuch better equipped to handle a person like John McCain. This is more so true since the republicans are working hard to get Hillary out of the race. They are afraid of her. She is the only woman who can stand up and give America a voice in Washington. Obama will be great as he gets more experience.

    How ironic that Hill and Rummy share the same optimist outlook without any
    allowance for a Plan B if they've understood Peter's Principle. Hill was hard
    on Rummy for not having a plan B in Iraq and now it is her turn to be skewered
    for not having one also. So she can no longer sell her 35 years experience
    effectively as political pundits now start to do a post mortem analysis of her
    still breathing campaign ! Isn't that macabre to do ?
    At any rate, Hill might still be able to revive her campaign by appealing
    for sympathy votes. She has access to Hollywood moguls who could get her the
    best drama coaches and trained her on how to connect with voters. Remember,
    Bill got his haircut aboard Air Force One on LAX tarmac, she can do likewise
    while aboard with her Hill Force One !

      I remember that, my husband's job was shut down because of that haircut. That's no reason for me to not acknowledge his accomplishments as our commander-in-chief. Wahington as a whole probably had a plan b but they could not get enough support because Bush's agenda was to do his daddy's failed job. If I can think outside the box so should others. Its funny Hill doesn't act when tackled with the hard questions. Obama on the other hand, cracks under pressure. That comes from inexperience and continuously peddling fairy tales that he doesn't know how to answer except with doubletalk. He's the one who needs lessons.

    Hillary is the best chance the democratic party has to get to the White House. What skeptics fail to realize is although Obama has charisma and star quality (even I have to admit he's gorgeous), he has no reality of what is truly going on in our country. His potential agenda includes destroying our economy by forcing the working poor parents to insure thier children regardless of whether they have enough for housing and food. The main necessities of life. His gung ho attitude about having meetings without security measures show him to be irresponsible. Again it comes from inexperience. What about our elderly? They will be forced to wait as well for his promise of no taxing of the seniors whose income is 50K or less. That is unrealistic. Most seniors I know are the baby boomers, me included, will have fixed income of more than 50K. In this economy, that is not much at all. Paying for healthcare will be a big chunk of that money along with housing. I have to live somewhere. Utilities, food, and if you own a home, real estate taxes cut into that as well. So don't tell me he is realistic in dealing with the economy, foreign relations, helathcare. He's the one offering false hope not solutions. Again the only way change can happen is we need solutions Hillary has those but people are afraid of a woman president. People want change, then put a woman in the White House. Men have been srewing up for years, even centuries.

    Every one has an angle. What we'd better remember is that the general election is not a beauty contest. If we do not field the best candidate we will elect another republican administration. This attack on Hillary just says of the two, Obama is who the republicans think they have the best opportunity to defeat after all the damage Bush has done. Star power is not going to win the day.

    If any of you Hillary supporters want to ensure our candidate gets a fair shot, email your delegates as to why you feel Hillary would make a great leader and commander in chief. I already did.

      That was good. I like that. I am decided but you bring up valid points of what is wrong with our country and what we need in a president.

  • Posted By: J Druid @ 02/22/2008 10:41:36 PM

    Bush (bomb Iraq), Clinton (bomb Kosovo and Iraq), Bush (bomb Iraq)....
    McCain, Huckabee, Clinton, and Obama -- no change in foreign policy, we will just be changing the name of the country bombed and the innocent civilians in that country that are killed.
    Ron Paul is the only clear answer, too bad the American people aren't yet ready to hear his message.

    • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 02/22/2008 10:49:43 PM

      Hey J Druid, too bad, the third person will be a distraction of the the two main candidates. It will actually help the republicans. Because the males can't seem to let them selves allow a woman the chance to prove she can run a country. And people will retaliate and vote the other side.

  • Posted By: TomCarney @ 02/22/2008 10:26:35 PM

    This is a very good article, the reporter puts the reader in the middle of the story. Thank God that the voters can see the real story of a power hungry Ms Clinton. Ms Clinton could care less about you and I, its all about her and Bill. Ms Clinton brings back bad memories of Eight years of fighting and division. Its time to end the Bush, Clinton, Bush era. The Dynasty has to edn

    • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 02/22/2008 10:41:52 PM

      You're right, the dynasty has to end. The male dominant dynasty has to end.

      As a nation we have endured 20 years of ups and downs. The only difference is, the ups was when Bill Clinton was in office. We were prosperous and no one was trying to kill us or mocking our current President as America's greatest failure. I do agree we need change because the problems were not here only the last 20 years but the last 2008 years. Think about it, the males have been engaging our country in wars since the inception of the United States.
      We finally have women on the Supreme Court, the speaker of the house is a woman, women have positions of authority and they are doing a GREAT job.
      Its time for male dominance to step aside and allow a woman to lead the United States. Its not too late to do the right thing and vote for a woman who's voice is our voice. She knows the problems and can make the changes we need currently not down the road. I don't want to wait another 4 years while Obama learns how to use his fast pace brain to voice what we the people need.
      Her healthcare plan is solid, her foreign affairs skills are sharp, her economy plan is great to guide the US out of the recession we are slowly plummeting to, she uses her voice to fight for human rights, she has a plan to bring the troops home , and her experienced leadership skills are what America needs NOW. Its not too late to vote for the First Woman President who is more than qualified to lead this country to greatness. Remember the major states are Texas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania because they are the rich delegate states. But every state is a rich delegate state for Hillary Rodham Clinton.
      Every young girl will have hope to become what many women have been trying to do for years, prove they are worthy of position in a male dominant society .
      It is time for change but we need solutions so change can happen.

    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.
    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)

    Hillary Clinton is in the wrong business. She needs to be in Hollywood. She playing the same old game. Here she goes again. She just pulled another stunt. I hope that Americans are smarter than Hillary thinks we are. Their is one more debate...I look forward to seeing her next stunt.

    Vote Barack Obama 2008

    • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 02/22/2008 10:21:24 PM

      What is the matter? Obama seems to be the one whom everyone sees as the great hope for change. Hillary is genuinely honest. She did not get that way because she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She had to fight for everything she has. I'm so tired of hearing about Hillary's philandering husband and how she is cold. I know men whom love thier wives yet have girlfriends on the side. They are still married today going on 30, 40, 50 years of marriage. Somehow these couples worked on thier marriage. No ones perfect. Marriage is hard work. Hillary is willing to sacrifice her marriage for her country. She is the one who loves America the most.

  • Posted By: Jrmapu @ 02/22/2008 9:56:45 PM

    Okay here I go again. I want everyone ,especially Hillary Rodham Clinton supporters, to pass this on.

    I remember the Clintons...I remember when they were news headlines...I remember the lies and the cover ups...I remember the shame...I remember the embarrassment...I remember when America???s pride and leadership position in the world were stained along with Monica Lewinsky's dress. I want to leave the Clintons and my memories of them in the past. If Hillary Clinton becomes president, I only get to relive my Clinton memories; and live through the new scandals that the Clintons will bring into the White House. I have had enough. The Clintons are not the change needed in this country.

  • Posted By: ecg3817 @ 02/22/2008 9:43:27 PM

    I remember the days when the Clintons were in the White House. I trusted them...but I say not again. This country has had enough of their lies and scandals. I do not want them in the White House again. We do not need the Clinton???s twisted/half truths, lies, disgrace, shame and game playing in our lives again. We can do better than Hillary and Bill Clinton. We just have to believe that we can.

  • Posted By: Johnny1967 @ 02/22/2008 8:22:02 PM

    Its funny that as soon as the debate was over, on the internet was a video showing that Hillary stole a lot from the last pitch from speeches given by Bill Clinton and John Edwards. The line about that she hasnt gotten hit hard as normal people was given by Bill Clinton 15 years ago. Also John Edwards came up with the line about whatever happens to us we will be ok all that matter is what happens to the people.
