Comment: Hillary is so weak in her marriage. There is nothing she can do to convince Billy to be faithful.

Comment: www.NeilsNotes.com (for MORE on this...LOL). When I saw the title to this article, I thought it was penned by a guy 'horned-up' for Hillary. When I looked closer and saw that a woman had written it...NIRVANA...chick on chick action (avec 'strap-on!'). But alas...it was none of the above. OK...so I was duped. Hey is you want some GREAT 'bush-bashing' then check out the 'Politicize THIS!' section at www.NeilsNotes.com (pass it around...I peed myself!).

Comment: You should see yourself in hillary-you are an ugly hag also. How about being proud of your country that has given you pinkko left wingers the right to be against the war, etc etc etc. As sleazy as Bill is and was I understand why he would cheat on Hilbilly. Two axehandle caboose and kankles.

Comment: Yes, I identify with Hillary and will support her candidacy through my state of PA, however, one thing that strikes me as this drones on is that she is busy apologizing all the time for comments we all know to be true. Geraldine Ferraro was correct in what she said, maybe not politically-correct, but correct all the same. Why did Hillary apologize for her comments.
On the other hand, I have seen Obama's assistant who called her a monster resign from her job, but where was Obama's APOLOGY for comments this woman made while in his camp? In fact, I have heard NO APOLOGY from this man during all this hullabaloo. It's very upsetting and I get angrier every time something happens on either end, as always.
I know what is happening, as do we all, Obama is going to get the nomination. But a Democrat, I WILL NEVER vote for this man. The media is correct as well, Hillary supporters such as myself will vote for the Republican nominee John McCain. But they are not focusing on 'why'.
Because we are sniped by a woman not winning the nomination? O don't think so. What we are not given credit for in the media is our inate ability to THINK. I will not vote FOR McCain, but, instead, AGAINST Obama.
I read in a Newsweek article that Obama claimed he was, of course (?) a Christian, but he had to add that "no sound on Earth is more beautiful than the muslim prayer at dawn".
So there you are, media pundits, listen up. I will have nothing to do, nor in any way cast one vote to propel a person to lead the United States who enjoys and reveres the sound of a muslim prayer at dawn. The thought of that sounds to me like his whole candidacy is nothing but the biggest practical joke on the trusting and believing American public that could ever happen.
No way! Black or white, old or young, male or female matters less to me than a human being who finds solace and peace in a muslim prayer. I choose anyone who has my FIRST BELIEF in this life, Almighty God in Heaven.
The sound of the prayer to GOD of a child before bedtime is the most beautiful sound on Earth to me. -

Comment: Hello Mrs Millian. I enjoyed your point of view but i can't understand how you would be defensive about your choice. Sadly, you are another one fo the female writers here that don't speak facts. Hillary didn't vote for "launching the vote against Iraq". War has never been declared. Barack didn't have a vote to make. He made a speech about his thoughts on the war. He didn't vote. He wasn't even in the US Senate. He was in the state senate in IL. the people who voted for him weren't murdered on 9/11. Whether he spoke out or not didn't matter except it seems to people here. Hillary heard the arguments in person and voted as her constituents asked she vote. Barack did not have a vote. Hillary's vote was for the use of military force in Iraq with the goal of unearthing weapons of mass destruction. It was not "for the war". When Barack got to the real senate, where his vote mattered he has voted the EXACT same way as Hillary. He said on record that he agreed with Bush's handling of it. He said he had the "judgment to oppose the war" because it would detract from finding osama bin laden. two days ago he said he would have found him by now.
then why hasnt he held a single meeting to further our efforts in Afghanistan? he has been in a position to help find OBL for fourteen months and has done nothing. that's judgment that matters.
I am ashamed that a mature woman like you would not have the facts right. the girl who thinks girls rule I can understand. if he has such good judgment 6 years ago where has it gone? not to finding OBL. why doesnt anyone care about the truth in this election? he didnt vote because he had no vote. and when he had a chance to do something he did nothing. and no one even cares to check facts. rhetoric on. ive seen his judgment to lie into the camera and walk away refusing to answer questions. that's judgment as a presidential candidate. please get the facts straight. then decide. -

Comment: Hillary Clinton is past tense. The Clintons were a team, but Hillary is unwilling to accept shared responsibility, she wants to pick out the plums and leave the pits. History contains the sad, undeniable facts of their many shady deals that have changed our country forever. They had too much power, too many wealthy influential ???friends??? that would not betray them. The words ???I do not recall??? were constantly repeated during the Clintons many trials of denials. The "Teflon Team" avoided responsibility for their acts, thanks to friends in high places. Want a repeat performance?? Don???t let them go for Act III. No curtain calls, this time the curtain falls and if the Clintons finally ???get smart???, they will leave it at that. The Clintons have some bad history, don???t believe the Clinton???s myth that Bill is loved and respected throughout the world. The person handing out the ???donations??? may be greeted with smiles, but the needy do what they have to do (smile for the cameras). What makes you think that the rest of the world is going to develop ???Clinton Amnesia???? The power of the Presidency would be reduced; some nations find it beneficial to ???know thy enemy???. The Clintons have diminished power today; some nations (either friendly or unfriendly) may regard them with camouflaged contempt. Some dire mistakes made during the Clinton reign changed not just our country, but world history. In 1994, Clinton hushed up a federal report warning of possible terrorist strikes Acts of terrorism were committed during the Clinton terms, but the focus was elsewhere. The documentation requested by the 9/11 commission turned up MISSING. From the National Archives, where Sandy Berger, who was Clinton???s National Security Advisor, was noticed with papers stuffed in his socks. He got away with it, and we will never know the truth of the Clinton Administration handling of terrorism threats prior to 9/11. We need a President willing to accept responsibility and act for the good of our country, not for the profits of corporations. We need a president who can command respect, provide transparency, and end partisanship. One who ???owes no favors??? and will appoint those who truly are the most qualified to fill government posts

Comment: Thanks Deborah, you wrote about the only article worth reading here. It's interesting to read to perspective of a woman of your generation. I am a 41 year woman for Hillary, and the media ignores us too. Almost all the 40 something women I know are for Hillary. We were the age group who first benefited from Title IX that women of my mother's age group (70 somethings) and your and Hillary's age group (60 somethings) fought so hard for us to have. We saw your struggles and thank you every day for taking even more fierce fire than we have had to and still do. Hillary fought hard for women's children's and poor people of any color's rights. I am for Hillary because I know her voting history on social issues is far better than Obama's- especially on women's, children's and poor people's issues. I dislike Obama because he uses plenty of frat boy sexist comments that the media never calls him on. 40 something women see this and say no more, we refuse to tolerate frat boy sexism from candidates or the media anymore. If the media wants to call us angry middle aged women, so be it. we are angry- angry at the rife sexism from Obama, his campaign- note no coverage about the numerous Obama backers who go around with T-shirts saying "Bros before Hos" and how any sexist comment by Obama, his campaign and the media is treated as nothing.

Comment: I'm not convinced the Hillary is the right candidate. Her "experience" claims don't hold water with me. Last time I checked, people don't include their spouses experience on their own resumes.
Her claims of foreign policy experience certainly don't hold up under even the scantest scrutiny. I'm a US citizen that lives in Ireland - and trust me Hillary was not a peace broker in Northern Ireland. I prefer a candidate that is the right person - ie. honest, a person of honor and person of intellect able to inspire.
Hillary has shown she is willing to stretch the truth beyond any recognition to siut herself and in my opinion. -

Comment: Hey, yeah, let's all vote for ourselves as president! I love how the author of this piece glibly skips over Hillary's phony "beautiful day" look-her-straight-in-the-eyes-and-lie-in-a-most-Clintonian-way moment. Ok, you're a battle-scarred uber-feminist who projects your entire lifetime of fighting the good fight against the glass ceiling onto the Clintonian ambitions of "the smartest woman in America.".Even in the end, the best presidential candidate that the feminist movement can muster is Bill Clinton's estranged wife. Geez, this more a triumph of nepotism than feminism.

Comment: I also write as someone who is 6 months older than Senator Clinton and as one who has become a strong supporter as I have watched her represent New York in the Senate. I remain convinced/frightened that if Obama is the nominee, McCain will win, a disaster for all Democrats and this country. It is time for Democrats to call on Obama to suspend his campaign and wait 8 years so that he can gain some experience, put his name to significant legislation and learn more about foreign policy, hold a few hearings instead of campaigning, learn that universal access is not universal health care, and not to sneer about helping people whose homes are being foreclosed. He doesn't do that anymore, but his first reaction to a freeze was that it would benefit wealthy home owners or speculators.
He is the one who has said that if he wins, her supporters will vote for him but he cannot expect the same if she wins. Instead, let him be the healer and uniter and make sure that his voters support Hillary for President, not threaten that they will not. That is bullying and blackmail - neither an attractive trait. This is a time for leadership, maturity and unity.
Senator Clinton will stay positive, talking about specific and practical solutions for real people and their problems. That should not keep her from drawing distinctions with Obama and calling attention to gaps between rhetoric and reality such as with his failure to hold hearings as chair of an important subcommittee, his inexperience, his wavering on the war (see the Oct 2006 New Yorker) and the shortcomings of his health care plan.
I am already sensing that there may be spreading buyer's remorse as her competence and achievements become increasingly clear. As Ed Redell, Gov. of PA says, "she has the best ideas, a wealth of experience and is ready to be President!"
We know that Hillary will work hard to earn every vote, and we can all convey our enthusiasm and pride, and help make the distinctions and comparisons that will advance her candidacy. We can make it another beautiful day! -

Comment: Barack Obama has a unique circle of friends and advisors. The recent display of one carries much weight into the 'unknown' with regard to decision making. Can America , the most powerful nation on Earth allow, even in the remotest sense, the possibility that Barack could make even 'one bad decision' with the resultant colossal ramifications? Barack must do some soul searching. He has generally 'good spirited qualities but these are insufficient and he has no record of 'decision making ability'. He is 'shiny', bright' and new. If General Collin Powell had run as the Democratic Nominee, he would have been voted in to office by a landslide and it has nothing to do with 'colour' or 'youth' but with 'tenacity', 'vigour' and experience. Hillary Clinton mirrors these qualities in her life. Despite her recent 'stumblings', in reality by others in her campaign, she had the ability to recover quickly and move ahead. If the present
economy downturn precipitates into a full scale recession, Hillary will be the best person for the presidency. -

Comment: Most all women of an age near Clinton and older probably see Hillary as mirrors of themselves whether or not they have had the problems with spouses that Hillary has.
Women's liberation occurs in stages where small, incremental battles form the war, and it has been that way since 1920 when women first won the vote. All women shared the trials and tributions of a Hillary who wasn't offered jobs after the Nixon impeachment while the men who cut their teeth on the experience went on to big jobs, and big pay. Not so for women.
The early 1970's yielded traditions for men of expected high profile roles; and increased opportunities for blacks through civil rights. But for women, the forgotten workforce, it has always been an uphill battle to be recognized or energized as they dutifully defended, coddled and coached spouses through the next 20-30 years of his success while she tended children and cared for the family. If she worked, for most, it was a hard uphill battle to find a niche, and watch male cohorts finelined into management jobs while women friends languished at lower levels. Small battles like Title IX offered hope. Sexual harassment cases were brought and lost, or occasionally won, most limited by a male orientation unwilling to view social status from a women's perspective, preferring to keep all power under their own control. Millions of dollars of tuition paid and lost as women were only marginally able to use the education they'd worked so hard for, while lesser qualified men, in many cases, never had to prove themselves. Oh, Hillary represents millions of women of her generation and older - enough to warrant their own group who could mount a claim for reparations as underused, misused, and overworked. -

Comment: I can't believe Newsweek even published this article. Clinton is going to go on record as the most divisive destructive candidate to the democratic party ever on recore. America is in deep economic troubles. The cost of the war in Iraq is sinking us. Barack Obama has energized people and the democratic party as no one in recent memory has done and you are going to vote for Hillary because she is your age and because you think she is smart and for social justice. And Barack isn't smart and for social justice. I guess he is just not your age and a woman. For goodness sake... where is thoughtfulness in journalism?
