    Hillary is being attacked by the republicans all the time in each of their debates, so the last thing I need or want is to see one of our own lashing and feeding into the attacks. Leave that to the republicans to do, we should not do it. It doesn???t matter who is leading or losing.. This negativity can come to bite us all in the general election. I like Obama, and I support him, but he most Stop this.

    It appears that Obama is using the style in politics as GW, so I expect, and probably so does Hillery, that his next barrage will be about her sexual orientation, or the sanctity of her parents marriage. It is a shame, because he seemed such a nice guy. If he continues on this journey of self-destruction, he will be history.

    Prove it, Senator. Prove any part of the mud you've just slung at Hillary Clinton has a word of truth to it. I'm tired of hearing this kind of accusation pointed at Bill and Hillary without a shred of real proof. I say it is you, sir, who is being dishonest. You can't come up with a straight answer to questions about the specifics of your plans, but you call Clinton a waffler? What nerve. I submit, sir, that you are not ready for prime time. You are no leader and may even be a coward.

    Disingenuous...that would fit Obama and many others.

      America, you people are the most gullible in the world...The same folks that had the option of voting GWB out of office after his first term disaster, and put him right back in, and look at you now...A candidate, hillary, Obama, or anyone else, make one unappealing statement, and you look to another candidate to vote for, under the gise that the one misstep describes one character, as if we all do not have missteps...Look at the next president for his or her true character; look at their actions in the past, and the statements and answers they give over a period of time, without prejudgement...The question really becomes; who is the best qualified to bring this divided country and world together for the common good of all people. It does not take a person who has been in washington for the past 20 years, for if that was the case, that candidate would most likely be a part of the worst time in american politcis, and therefore, would not be able to see their way through recconciliation, and togetherness...America is so hell bent on the most popular things to do, live for the moment kind of people. It just happens that that type of thinking is typically driven by media, and propoganda, and you allow that to drive your opinions of the world and its people; You may not admit it to yourselves, however look back at some of the earlier posts, and you will find popular opinions, and media driven ideas..Obama being a muslim, trained in jakarta, as if he is some kind of terrorist. I ask you, where do you get this information; do you know barack, did you go to school with him; or do you hear this from the media, and ultimately someone who may not have OUR best interest at heart, rather their own...I say to you America; wake the hell up, and live live as a free man or woman, with free thinking, untainted by politics, and the media, and then you will hopefully choose the person that is best for us ALL....

    Well, it appears that Obama has all but given-up, what with calling Hillery a liar, he is taking on the tactics of GW. Does desparation bring out ones true character?

    Just once I would like to hear Barack Obama talk about what he will do if elected President instead of ALWAYS talking about what he THINGKS Hillary CLinton will or will not, can or cannot do. I am so sick of ads where candidates talk aboout how they want to sete the record straight and rather than talk about where their opponents are wrong in what they have said about them, they immediately attack their opponnents. ENOUGH! If you want to set the record straithgt, then tell me just exactly what he or she said about you that is incorrect or misleading and not what he or she has done. If you want to do so, do it in another ad.

    Mr. Obama has consistently, as has John Edwards (who has until recently been my candidate) continually attacked Hillary Clinton rather than tell me what they plan to do to turn the country around, how to get us the hell out of Iraq, decrease the national debt, strengthen the ecopnomy, etc. etc.

    Shut up about Hillary's faults Barack and start talking about yourself.

      pssst hey Jimmy boy...

      why don't you conduct some research before spouting your mouth off with some bullshit. That fake story about Obama has been debunked by the Washington Post. You don't believe me? Here: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2007/11/obama_nabbed_by_the_patriotic.html

      next time watch your mouth and conduct research before spreading fake rumors about other people

  • Posted By: DevilDogUSMC @ 11/05/2007 10:02:25 AM

    I don't like either of the two front runners for this party... I will say however that Clinton at least pays respect to the traditions of our country unlike Obama who on September 17 in Indianola, IA didn't cover his heart when the anthem played. How can we elect someone to lead a country whose respect he doen't give and traditions he doesn't follow. How Patriotic.

    kgmasata, get your facts straight. So, how are you related to Hillary's campaign?

    • Posted By: kgmasta @ 11/05/2007 11:23:15 AM

      I would not vote for Hillary if you paid me, what part is false. Do not spew about the hand over heart thing either because who cares. He is Muslim, you cannot dispute that. He was also educated in Jakarta where the practice radical Mulsim ideas. What part is false?

      • Posted By: indystacey @ 11/05/2007 12:46:56 PM

        First, there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim. But Barack isn't Muslim. It's a smear campaign. Another Swiftboat attack. Funny how holier-than-thou Christians have no problem spreading lies when it suits their purpose.

  • Posted By: Jim Hofbauer @ 11/05/2007 10:56:55 AM

    THEY ARE GANGING UP ON HER BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN . IT FELT LIKE SHE WAS BEING BOMBARDED FROM ALL SIDES LAST WEEK AND THAT WASNT FAIR. NEXT THEY SHOULD ALL ATTACK OBAMA, AND THEN EDWARDS. LETS JUST TAKE TURNS BY ATTACKING EACH CANDIDATE AND THEY WILL BE ON THE DEFENSIVE TOO, LOVE TO HEAR THEIR ANSWERS !

    • Posted By: indystacey @ 11/05/2007 12:43:47 PM

      They weren't "gaining up on her". This isn't grade school. She is the front runner and the logical target. Grow up.

    Who is Barack Obama? Who is being disingenuous?????
    Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a Black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white ATHIEST from Wichita, Kansas. Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school. Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school." Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education. Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who're now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy. The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!! ALSO , keep in mind that when he was sworn into office - he DID NOT use
    the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran (Their equivalency to our Bible, but very different beliefs) .
    Would you want this man leading our country?......NOT ME!!! IF you are going to be in our great country, live by OUR rules. Why even let him be sworn in WITHOUT the Holy Bible?? That should tell us ALL something right there!!!!!!

      As someone who spent twelve years at Saint Mary's Catholic school, only to become Buddhist, I ask you a couple of questions. If you need to accept Jesus as your savoir to get into heaven, then what about the Jews (a.k.a Hebrews). They don't believe Jesus is the son of God, does this mean they will burn in hell? But according to the Christian Bible, they are the chosen people?... Adam and Eve had two sons, who did they mate with if Adam and Eve were the first people on earth? I could spend all day pointing out the loose ends and hypocrisy of the Christian faith..

  • Posted By: kiske @ 11/05/2007 10:40:58 AM

    DWARD, (the three time looser), Obama, the desperate and manipulated by the media, should feel shame on themselves, I kind of like Obama, but now, he show me how far he willing to go for a position, he denigrated himself by attacking so personal another person. I now considering Hillary, she showed me that she has personality and character by standing up to all those attacks without loosing control and her credibility. Shame on Obama and Edward and the rest of the candidates, except Richardson who was a real person there. I don???t mean to attack your opponent, but no in personal and so hated way like most of the candidate did. What are they going to say when Republican start attacking Hillary in the general election? Think what they are doing and saying now, because they will have to stand up for Hillary later on as a democrat if they are really democrats.credibility. shaem on Obama and Edward and the rest of the candidates, except Richardson who was a real person there. Idont mean to attack your oponent, but no in personal and so hated way like most of the candidate did. what are they going to say when Republican start attacking HIllary in the general election? think what tehy are doing and saying now, because they will have to stand up for Hillary later on as a democrat if they are really democrats.

      Where does it say in the Constitution that a President has to be Christian? An American Muslim might be exactly what we need to calm the mess in the Mideast created by the Shrub adminstration. Hillary is not much more than "Bush lite."

  • Posted By: jamesbordonaro @ 11/05/2007 11:08:44 AM

    Hillary Clinton is the wrong choice for the Democratic Party at this time. She is too polarizing a figure for Republicans to embrace. I believe the reason for that is that Bill's sex scandal put her in a no win situation. Perhaps she should have left him at the time. But there may have been personal reasons not to, i.e., she really loves Bill and wanted to protect her marriage and family. However, because she doesn't fit the traditional role of first lady as demure, she comes across as politically calculating and by not leaving Bill it appeared that she was just bidding her time until she could run for President. As unfair as that may be that is the perception for Republicans. The country needs to be reunited in a common purpose on some many issues. GWB had his chance after 9-11 and blew it big time. I think the country is more polarized than at any time since the 2000 Supreme Court ruling on the election vis a vis Florida. What I hear here in Kansas is that most people like Obama but don't think he's been in government long enough. He will undoubtedly be in the best position to become the next Dem. candidate regardless of what happens in Nov. For example, Hillary wins in Nov. but will have a difficult race in 2012. If she doesn't win then Obama will become establishment candidate as well as the outsider. It will spell the end of the DLC era. If she does win in 2012 then he will probably become a strong contender in 2016 as I don't believe the Dem. party will want to nominate Hillary's veep candidate (it would simply be too much of a good thing). If a Rep. beats Hillary in Nov. then the Clintons' and DLC are finished for good although she will stay in the Senate, and Barack becomes the face of the opposition party. All bets are off if Edwards becomes the nominee and especially if he wins (which would be likely) I don't see him belonging to either camp unless he was to chose Obama as his running mate.

    I LOVE IT! Every two years an election takes place of some sort and everyone gets sidetracked from their normal daily lives of American Survivor. Does everyone out there really make decisions based on whatever sound bite best fits their paradigm? You can give me any candidates name and I'll bet you $1,000 that I can find at least 20 pro or con arguments for why you should or should not vote for that person. Right now my only hope is that the person that wins either reduces the gas prices to the levels before Bush was elected, or support the technology so that our vehicles and home heating are able to run on water.
