Just How Low Will They Go?

Mccains whole campaign is based on the war. Nothing else. Thats why he keeps talking about it. Once this Clinton vs Obama thing is over, hopefully Obama will change the subject and blast Mccain on the economy; which he admits he knows nothing about. But then again, you might still be reporting on Obamas church or Bill and Hillary life after the election.

Mccain is a war hero, he was a POW. Ok. I get it. But just because wesley snipes spend 5 years in prison doesn't mean he should be Warden. Also it a silent discussion among republicans that being a POW has left Mccain a little hot headed and coo-coo

WHY CLINTON LOST NOMINATION TO OBAMA? Read below the FACTS straight from Senate Records.

Clinton v. Obama on Legislative Experience: Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6yrs.), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years. These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress (www.thomas.loc.gov), but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you: 1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site. 2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month. 3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor. 4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall. 5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson. 6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea. 7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day. 8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day. 9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death. 10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship. 11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship. 12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program. 13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda. 14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death. 15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive. 16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11. 17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11 18. Assist landmine victims in other countries. 19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care. 20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system. There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate Record. Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize. During the first (8) eight months of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced 233 regarding healthcare reform, 125 on poverty and public assistance, 112 crime fighting bills, 97 economic bills, 60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills, 21 ethics reform bills, 15 gun control, 6 veterans affairs and many others. His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored.

Jack999 why don't you get your facts straight. I am from West Virginia. And yes I can live in a diverse society. I find people that make such rude comments and have such preconceived ideas have not done much travelling. Maybe you are an IT, too. lol

This deliberate trivia by the candidates belies the true bankruptcy of their polices and positions.
Obama apparently has a legislative record in the senate. Why do not these policies show themselves on his web site? What initiates have been placed in committee or passed? This record is very unclear.
Obama seems to have no appreciation of capitalism and it capacity to create wealth and opportunities for individual Americans. His life has been funded by the largress of big government. He did have student loans and to his credit, he paid them promptly. The failure to appreciate capitalism and his love of socialism I find disturbing.

The so called educated on this board, and in media for that matter, seem to be some of the most narrow-minded, bigots there are. I am not classifying all educated as such, just the ones that take the stance that just because Hillary has a strong "blue-collar" backing means that they are dumb. Some of you educated people got that way because of the sweat of your "blue-collar" mothers and fathers. Unfortunately, educated does not equal intelligence

Comment: Comment: TO ALL THE OBAMA SUPPORTERS (of which I am one) - it is time to stop poking the Clinton supporters and degrading their candidate. There are a lot of strong feelings on both sides. It looks like Obama is going to win the nomination - take a moment to think about how you would be feeling right now if the reverse were true.

There is bound to be disappointment, anger and bitterness on the part of the Clinton supporters that their candidate will not win the nomination. It is completely natural and understandable given the long, hard battle fought by both candidates. And it is exactly how you would be feeling right now if the situation were reversed.

There is also bound to be some venting and cries of unfairness, which will undoubtably make it to this blog. That is also completely natural and understandable.

But I challenge every Obama supporter to make the blog related to this article different than the other blogs. Let's not insult the people who may chose to vent on this blog. Let's not insult Hillary Clinton anymore. Instead, let's reach out to Hillary and her supporters. Let's make sure we are clear that we respect her (which I certianly do) and we respect the campaign she ran. Let's give them time to come to terms with her eventual lose (I use the term eventual, because as of the time of this post, Obama has not won and I don't think we should disrepect Clinton and her supporters by claiming he has until he has the necessary number of delegates). Most importantly of all, let's come together and unite the party so we can beat McCain.

A key theme of the Obama candidacy has been one of inclusion. It has also been a candidacy of grass-root efforts. Why not use this as a starting point for a grass-roots effort to heal the party. All of us - on both sides of this great debate - have said things that may not have been nice or fair. But it has to stop. Why not start by having it stop with us?

If you agree with me, then let's try to do two things:

(1) Copy this message as many times as you can and place it on other blogs.

(2) If you see this message on a blog, then post a simple comment - "I, an Obama supporter, respect both Hillary Clinton and those that support her. I hope, in time, they will join with us to unite the party and defeat the Republicans in November"

i will not vote for obama even though i feel he is a good man but i dont feel that he is experienced enough...i willl sit home first and not vote at all....and if the super delegates want to win this election for the party they have to realize that clinton... not obama with his come out of the woodwork votes that never voted before .... sorry but that is the way i feel

There are a great many that do not receive cable - I will soon be added to that list. I do not watch any of the talk shows including late night ,there is far too much to life.

I cannot consider MSNBC, CNN, FOX, CBS, and ABC to be anything but editorials and light news. Sorry to say the media has become too much aligned to government or party to be considered independent.

Important thing to remember is how OBAMA became a Senator, by getting rid of OTHER candidates, and he hopes to get the nomination by getting RID OF VOTES.

In never ceases to amaze me how little people know about something yet make these arguments to the contrary. It is not by coincidence that educated upperclass people are voting for obama while non-educated middle/lower class people are voting for clinton. Which one do you think knows "more" or less about their candidate? I also want to point out that blacks that grew up in the 60's still carry that pain and say things that are now out of touch with today yet still carry the scars....
