    If Hillary Clinton (the Clintons) becomes the Democratic nominee, the American people simply will not have a good choice in November. The policies, positions and programs offered by her and Barack Obama are not significantly different and their contrasts with John McCain???s positions are near identical. Where there is remarkable difference is in their personalities and in the hope offered for getting things done to benefit other than Special Interests and a select few and to have other than more Washington as usual. Hillary (and Bill too) has demonstrated throughout this campaign and her career a propensity to say/do anything that she feels will benefit her, without conscience, guilt, apology or hesitation. She has been aggressive, arrogant, dishonest, self-focused, belligerent and ready to offer anything at any time with her only criteria being that it is to her advantage. In the past she has shown that all that matters to her is her prestige and personal gain, ignoring her husband???s indiscretions, excusing her own dishonesty and accepting any advantage she can get. She attempts to present all of this as being strong, as being a fighter but it is literally divisive and, as shown throughout her career, it really handicaps her in getting things done. Much like George W. Bush, Hillary exhibits a strong, sociopathic personality that says everything is about her and, as we have seen, that is nothing but trouble. Should Hillary Clinton get the nomination then the choice in November will be to continue with more of the same GWBush policies (McCain) or more of the self-centered GWBush style personality (Clinton). Really not much of a choice!

    MEMORANDUM BEFORE THE SUNDAY MORNING TALK SHOWS ...

    The Wright controversy allowed critics of Barack Obama to lay into his judgement, his political instincts and reaction time, and his temperament.

    This Sunday, the chattering class will be intensely involved in a post-mortem of the controversy, and might find it profitable to ponder an example from American history.

    "[He] had no spontaneity--no emotional nature ... He was never a man of gushing feelings.

    "[He] shrank from controversy as a general rule--hated quarrels, hated to say hard & sharp thing of any man ...

    "He was slow to form his opinions. He was deliberate, cool & demanded the light of all the facts surrounding the case. When he formed his opinions he was firm, especially about questions of justice [and] principle ... [He] had unsurpassed reasoning powers. His logical faculties were great ...

    "[His] statesmanship [lay in his] adherence to principle. He studied where the truth of a thing layand he acted on his conviction. He looked far into the future and was philosophical, true, scientific, in his inductions."

    The opinion expressed above was held by Supreme Court Justice David Davis and the Illinois politican he was talking about was the same one for whom he had organized a successful presidential campaign in 1860--Abraham Lincoln.

    Only time will tell if, once in office, Barack Obama will show the same wisdom that his fellow prairie lawyer Abraham Lincoln did.

    But the gathering storms we are confronting as a nation suggest that such wisdom we will need.

    Obama's promise is that, like Lincoln, he is cerebral, eschews petty politics, is "slow to form his opinions" and demands "the light of all the facts."

    Obama, like Lincoln, possesses great "logical faculties", and he has shown he is firm on questions of justice and principle.

    After all is said and done, Sen. Obama's promise remains great, and is fuelled by the phrase he like to invoke of Dr. King's, the "fierce urgency of now."

    It is something one hopes the chattering classes will take into account, as they assay the political landscape and the hopes for our country.

    the Clintons are outrageously self-serving and will do anything whether it be crooked or not to push themselves back into the white house. God help America if this happens.

    Please check out "The Truth vs Barack Obama"

    http://savagepolitics.com/?p=317

    I saw this today, and HAD to share it with everyone. It is just a brilliantly researched and written list of inconsistencies with several of Obama's stories. I think it should be done for ALL three candidates, but I guess this is a good way to start at finally looking at the candidates with some honesty.

    God Bless all the removed children and the women who have left the FLDS compound. I hope they are being cared for in a sensitive way. I also pray for the innocents back at the compound that are in any way mistreated.

    "If you just think about women and girls, what are some of those lessons we want women and girls here and throughout the world to be learning? We teach our girls that we value them, not for what they look like, but for what they think, feel, do and dream. Will our businesses do more to help women get child care and other tools they need to successfully balance work and family so that no women ever have to make the choice between the job they need to put food on the table and the time they must give to the children they love? When a woman speaks up in the home, or the community, or the Assembly, will she be listened to as carefully and respectfully as if she were a man? And, as women, will we finally respect each other's choices? Will we admit that there is no model for women today that is one size fits all? That we can choose full time work or full-time motherhood and home-making, or like most women, doing both at certain parts of our lives? And will we support the choices that each of us makes?"

    Hillary Rodham Clinton, Vital Voices Conference, N.Ireland, 1998

      All women, need to take careful consideration of that and think of their daughter"s futures when they go to the polls. Their sons futures have been and will be taken care of no matter who gets the election. I am someone who has had both and I know which one has the edge on life.

      • Posted By: ports @ 02/26/2008 12:38:41 AM

        I should also have stated that men need to think of their daughters as well when they go to the polls. Give them the lift on life that your sons have had.

    Huckabee is a real man not a politician.

    You see global warming is a theory but a political's asset for both party to gain supporters. If you study about pine tree and past weather record recorded in the Almanac. You going to see that global warming is a unproven eviroment problem.

    Since global warming is a politician's asset for gaining supporters. McCain, Romney, and Gulliani have to compromise to get voter attention. Fred, Ron, and Mike didn't support it. This seperate the real men from a politicians.

    The real problem is the smog and the addiction to foriegn oils. Why do we have cars running gas when there is a gas-free vehicle out there? Innocent as the vehicle industries are delaying the research as being funded by oil industries. I didn't say stop. I say delay. We are smart people, we have electric car and researcher. It is sluggish compares to the EV1 project.

    McCain was a great military guy but somehow you can only have one of the other but NOT both. He have military skill but he a compromiser of the party system and having indenticle agenda liking unto the democrats.

    So let get this election over with and vote for Huckabee!

  • Posted By: Bopkasen @ 02/10/2008 12:05:45 AM


    Of all the campaign debate, Huckabee Paul Thompson were the most un-politician appearance compares to Gulliani McCain Romney.

    Global warming was the issue that divide the real men from the politician. Gulliani McCain Romney were the only person that believe that global warming is the problem.

    Global warming is a theory but not proven dues to numerous variable hard data, Pine tree that emit CO2, random weather forcast Source: Almanac, and the fact that tree can breathe in carbon dioxide.

    The real problem is the smog warning that is causing people who addicted to gasoline to breathe it. Smog is the 1# leading causing for asthma and other air problem.

    Please vote for Huckabee and get this election over with! Thank you!
