    Do you really think that by running down our President, you are making Hillary more enticing? ThePresident had and has faults, but he did the best with the hand that was dealt to him. No one can say he's perfect, but he's not up for debate here. He's done his job, and whether you like it or not, he did it for 8 long years. Bill never went to war and as a result we had this so called "peaceful" time, which ended up leaving the US with quite a strain. If we don't continue this fight, we take many steps backward, which is what will happen with Hillary at the helm. Unless fickle Hillary changes her "educated, thoughtful, restrained" mind again...

      Bill played "kick the can." He did not want to deal with the terrorist attacks during his watch! This all led to the 9-11 disaster. We will never know what Sandy Berger hid in his pants/socks to cover his hero. A crime that led to very little punishment and no prison time for stealing from the archives? How can these people get away with all this stuff? I do not understand.

      Thank you rightaltheway, I agree with your remarks "all the way!" So many of you say it better than I can.

    It is ridiculous to call Hillary Clinton's reaction to the Monica Lewinsky scandal denial. I gathered little from this article beyond the author's obvious belief that private actions within the bounds of a marriage are a reflection of how they will lead their public life in a role of leadership. Whether or not you choose to believe that Guiliani's adoration in the wake of 9/11was born out of his rhetoric or his actions, the author's obvious inference is that Clinton's own worth as a politician can only be judged by her actions in a crisis. Rather than choosing to address her role as a sitting Senator for the state most affected by the attack, or her leadership among Democrats in their efforts to bring our troops home, both crises to be sure, the author uses her stoicism and dignity in the face of a very public scandal as a point of criticism. The author chooses to attack her for her staying with someone he so obviously despises and in doing so reveals the only bullet that those critical of the Clintons have in their "gun", the Lewinsky scandal. Hillary Clinton's propensity to react with reason, and not rhetoric or gut instinct, is the exact kind of characteristic we need in the face of the threat of global terrorism as well planned responses to crisis will undoubtedly trump emotionally charged reactionary bluster every time.

    If Hillary gets elected you can say bye to low taxes. Health care and the right to bare arms. She was for the war, then against the war, and now she is not sure what to do. Keep the left wing nut balls out of the government office. You think gas prices are high now, pull out and see what happens! Bush might not be that greatest, but he atleast he sticks to what he says.

      Say "bye to low taxes"? When in the last 6 years have we been able to say "hello" to them? Your big government Republicans have taken care of that for us. Oh, I suppose that is being ungrateful for that $200 i got back four years ago. My apologies.
      As for the right to bare arms, i fully believe even "left wing nut" Hillary Clinton will not take away my right to wear a sleeveless blouse now and then.

      George Bush is the most norrow-minded, superficial leader I have ever seen in this entire country. He is a disgrace and an insult to every American who walks on this soil. Since when did money and gas prices become more important than humanity?

    so this time she can use the cigar borrow one from her husband eh. We need to get her out and gone and him and focus on the country. We need a john doe to run someone unknown. Thats it thats all i can guess we really need someone not corrupted yet by the power and the money.

    So, we can't talk about the color of the person, we can't talk about the raceof the person, but it is okay to talk about somebody being a male or a female (man or a woman). Come on, first of all, if each of us individually not let the thoughts of a person being a man or woman to make a judgment on their title and positin, then we have the right to talk about the qualifications. Most supporters of H. Clinton only mentions that she is a woman? Why is that? Do woman feel inferior? [Please don't say that is the world perceives, yada, yada. Each one of us constitute the world, and if we part of the world, no point in blaming others!]
    Also, leadership is about managing emotions, but definitely "Not Having emotions". If we want us to led by a person who has no emotions, why don't we all vote for an Android? It will be a better President, isn't it?
    Not having emotions, or too much of emotions, in English we refer to them as "Callous", and not kind [Yes, I know callous means "no feelings", but feelings come out of emotions. No emotions => No feelings!]
    At least my position is: I want to be led by a caring, intelligent, person with feelings and the person who depicts right level of emotions, not by a machine, or a faceless, feelingless, tyrannical ruler!
    We americans, care, care for our family and friends, care for our relationships, care for the world, and it has to be shown from the top of our leadership!

      Just because Hillary Clinton does not demonstrate her every emotion to the world does not mean she lacks it. Do you honestly think when she found out her husband was having an affair she responded with no emotion. You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors...

  • Posted By: justthinkin @ 10/16/2007 7:49:42 PM

    Let us please not elect this woman as our President JUST TO MAKE A STATEMENT FOR WOMEN. I think it behooves all of us to look at the true character of a person, and what that person would do in a real crisis like another 9-ll (God forbid). If Hillary can hide her head in the sand or deny any wrongdoing on the part of her husband's extreme and blatant infidelity, what kind of response is she going to have when the nation faces a crisis? And it will happen......there are too many people out there who want to destroy us as a nation and a people.

    • Posted By: jakhans @ 10/16/2007 8:07:43 PM

      I find it ironic that you beg us not to elect a woman just BECAUSE she is a woman, and yet you seem to think Clinton's only relevance is as a wife and mother. Of COURSE the worst crisis in any woman's life must revolve around her husband, right? And you go on to compare a husband's infidelity to 9/11? So i assume we can predict your reaction to having your leg amputated by lobserving your reaction to a paper cut? your oblique analogy is an insult to woman and the country as a whole. I am very happy i have the choice of a leader who will let reason and logic - not petulance and foot-stomping - guide decisions. My choice is not based on gender, but on integrity , intelligence, and an ability to lead. And you can bet i will be voting for Clinton in '08.

    This is OLD NEWS......who cares what happens in their marrage. LET'S DISCUSS REAL ISSUES like terrorism, immigration, homeland security, employment, international trading, welfare, social security, healthcare. Come on people, don't give in to the dirty secrets. Lots of people have their own idenities separate from their marriage. Educate yourselves and make educated decisions.
