    Strange isn't it that if Hillary is the smartest woman in the world, wouldn't those unreleased documents prove it? On the other hand their reticience in releasing makes people ask what does Hillary have to hide? Deals, stupidity, i.e. she's not the smartest woman in the world?

    What is interesting is wouldn't you think the Clintons would want all the documents released because it should show she is the smartest woman in the world! BUT if she is afraid of
    releasing doesn't this mean these documents will prove she's not?

    WOW! You must be reading the same history books as George Bush if you think he was the hardest hit president in the history of the U.S.!! It is amazing how people still blindly follow that guy and his scare tactics. Although our current threats are different than what they were and are coming from different parts of the world today's world is no scarier than most of the 20th century. Someone needs to go back to history class.

    What is exactly wrong with President Bush? Not a darn thing in my book !!! Just what do you consider important and valuable to you? Freedom among any of them? President Bush has been the hardest hit President in History, beginning with 9/11, then natural weather disasters. Did you not read those articles? Americas economy remains standing, and has continued to stand since he took office, in view of all that has taken place in this country. Are you one of those people who can't think for themselves, can't look a darn thing up, so you side with all the negative hype? The Democrats are cheating this country by not abiding by policies and rules that work, not even to update fairly. They are out to change them with their own untested and untried - imaginations. This may work in the short range of things, but in the long range they will cause total collapse. BET ME, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW!

      I voted for Bush twice and quite honestly I am embarassed at how long it took me to quit defending the guy and wake up to the realization that he was doing a horrible job and that there was slim chance that he would ever turn it around. Granted, Bush has had monumental challenges to deal with that many other presidents haven't. But, he's also has made some monumental mistakes that he continues to stand by.

      Maybe Hillary would make an ok President...the problem is it is impossible to gain that confidence. She is intentionally the most obfuscated candidate from either party. I have no confidence that what she says on any given day has any bearing on what she really feels is the right thing to do. She's a HUGE unkown. I guess that's one advantage Bush has over Clinton...you certainly know where he stands, whether you like it or not.

    It's the same reason why Bush and Cheney refused to testify under oath, separate, no recording, no transcript and off the record to the 9/11 commission. Like the Clinton's they are hiding something.........
    If anyone thinks the direction the country is going will change with H R Clinton in the WH then you are mistaken. Look who is funding her campaign, do your research...it will surprise you!


    Corrupt. Corrupt as Bu$h, Corrupt as Ghouliani.

    Why does the Clintons have to let us review their messages to each other while the rest of the candidates don't have to release their correspondence with their wives?

    • Posted By: ApolloKnowsAll @ 11/06/2007 3:02:34 AM

      There is this little thing called the freedom of information act.
      Here in Seattle, our King County Chair witheld documents on the Kingdome (because he claimed it was unsound and would come down in an earthquake, which the documents proved would not happen...) but the powers that be wanted to spend 1.2 Billion on new sports complexes (lots of union jobs, lots of taxes, hurray!) ... anyway, lawsuit, person won, initial fines totaled 1.2 million dollars (one dollar per page, per day)...

      our government runs out in the open.

      Hillary is claiming that she did all this hard work, traveling the globe, running the country. I want to see exactly what she did. Why did she need two full 747s to go to Africa in the waning days of Bill's presidency? She made no political stops...looked like a vacation to me...maybe something in her papers will tell us what she did at your expense...

      Hillary would be the biggest mistake in the history of big mistakes. She has never ever run something as large as a post office and she wants to run the biggest company on the planet?

      The White House should not be turned over to an intern.

      If she actually did some serious policy work, fine, show us. I don't believe you. You and your husband have lied your entire careers. Prove me wrong. Release your documents.

      Open public meetings. Open public documents. Health care is not a state secret. It will not put our troops in harms' way if these documents are released. Why won't she release them until 2009? Simple, there is some pretty damaging information.

      Bush clinton bush clinton (jeb) bush (chelsea) clinton (jorge) bush... We do not have a dynastic rule. We can do better than have two families rotate in the white house.

      None of the other contenders have been Prident and President's spouse, that why and they do not have librairies that are supposed to be open to the public.
      They refuse to answer questions truthfully from the beginning of time. How about Hillary in the 70's as legal council for the Chicago Seven. Have you heard anything about that?

      • Posted By: kiske @ 11/05/2007 11:39:45 AM

        that is really good question....

  • Posted By: ApolloKnowsAll @ 11/06/2007 2:52:13 AM

    Government for the people, by the people?....whatever... Hillary thinks she already won... why do you actually think that she will let you see her plan for total socialistic control of the country?
    Don't you trust your government?
    Why do you want these papers? I don't have to show you anything. I am the queen.

    bush clinton bush clinton (jeb) bush (chelsea) clinton (jorge)Bush... we can do better than have two families in the white house.

    why can't america compel hillary to release those papers?

  • Posted By: Elizabeth67 @ 11/05/2007 1:53:25 PM

    Funny that Hillary seemed in favor of 'states rights' on the question of drivers licenses for illegals but she certainly wasn't thinking of 'states rights' when she was plotting (and still plots) to institute socialized medicine in this nation.

  • Posted By: Elizabeth67 @ 11/05/2007 1:51:45 PM

    Funny how hillary seemed to be for 'states rights' when she floundered on the question of whether illegals should have drivers licences but she sure wasn't thinking 'states rights' when she plotted (and still plots) to institute socialized medicine in this nation.

    It is funny that so much is made of this "paper chase" issue, when the madia(opps)gave Bush and Rove a free pass regarding documents and emails that should have been readily and easily, at hand. Talk about credibility!

    On a historical note : for those of you who did not know this tad bit of information. Bill Clinton sped-up the process to our countries recession, and soon to be national depression. Hilary thinks and acts just as her husband does politically. Granted, President Bush hasn't been doing so well lately when it comes to running the country. On the other hand, though, he's trying to cover-up mistakes done by Bill Clinton while he was in office. We really need to look at who we ourselves would vote for to be president.

    P.S. : A quick reminder . . . who contolled Iran years back . . . I'll wait . . . thats right, a woman. Nothing against women, but in the history of the world usually when a woman runs a country, they base it off of emotions. Emotions get people killed, think about that while your voting for a man-hater called Hilary Clinton to go into office.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 11/05/2007 1:16:08 PM

      Your comments are ridiculous at best. Why would Bush be covering mistakes made by Bill Clinton? That makes no sense at all. And we are supposed to believe that Clinton policies from eight years ago are still driving the economy in this country? That would make Bush even more ineffectual that he already is because it would mean that he couldn't even make his economic policies work after this many years in office. I would be very interested in knowing where your information comes from; I would like to know what Bush is covering for Clinton about and how Bill Clinton is STILL running the economy of this country.
      As for countries run by women don't forget that Margeret Thatcher was one of Ronald Reagan's staunchest allies when she ran Great Britain in the 80s.

    • Posted By: kiske @ 11/05/2007 10:49:44 AM

      your comment, perception and belief are so ridiculous and stupid, what are you? female or male? shame of you for saying and thinking such thing. it reveal how ignorant are you....

  • Posted By: aresendez @ 11/05/2007 1:10:20 PM

    Is transparency too much to ask? I was born into a very liberal democrat household, but the more I watch and listen to today's candidates, especially Hillary, the more I search for alternatvies. Choosing the lesser of evils, still leaves you with evil. I like that Huckabee guy - I hope he wins the GOP spot - I would vote for him.

  • Posted By: PatFerr @ 11/05/2007 3:43:08 AM

    Once again we have the Clinton lovers here bashing republicans that think that Hillery would be the worst thing that ever happened to this country. Whining and crying about the 2000 election again, because they can't remember history, where every count that they had came up with Bush as the winner. Democrats just wanted to keep on counting in hopes that more hanging chads would fall off and somehow, Algore could become president.
    My prediction is this. If Hillery gets the nod for the democrat nomination, watch for Al Gore to jump in as an independent, to foil Hillery just like Ross Perot got in to keep Clinton in the White House.
    One more thing GWBasher.....whether you like it or not, Bush got way more votes that Bill Clinton ever got in either of his elections, so stop whining.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 11/05/2007 1:07:48 PM

      I don't ever use those issued to avoid questions about Hillary Clinton. I don't like any of the candidates from EITHER side but at this point we need someone to fix the damage that Bush has done to this country. I don't know who can do that but I can say that Bush did NOT get more votes than Gore no matter how counting went. And it WAS Bush who had us invade another country under false pretenses and outright lies. The middle class in this country is in worse shape than it was before Bush was elected and now he is digging in his heels and trying to steer us into another war in the Middle East. By my reconing that makes Bush the worst thing that has ever happened to this country. We as American citizens deserve better!

    NEOCOMMS ... what an aptly descriptive title.
    Ah chaos in the enemy camp! I love it. And what is more, if the rumor that ole Hil is sleeping with a woman who is a Muslim of all things at this time in American history, oh boy, how disruptive is that? Maybe the latest statements of

    • Posted By: The PermanentName @ 11/05/2007 8:49:27 AM

      I would actually agree with the statemet that she's sleeping with a woman. The clintons have been and always will be commies. Look at the bills passed by Bill Clinton, they said communism all over them, and sped up our countries process to a recession soon to be national depression(at least economically).

      • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 11/05/2007 1:00:24 PM

        re: the permanent name: What are you talking about? Since when does woman sleeping with a woman (which is actually just a nasty rumor) have ANYTHING to do with communism? And I can't remember any bills that President Clinton signed that were anywhere close to communism. Even granting that (which i don't) how can bills signed by a President eight years ago affect economic policy today? Seems to me that the Repubs have much to answer for when it comes to the current economic situation. The mortgage crises that happened on thier watch is what will pull us into recession or depression.

  • Posted By: nomorehippies @ 11/04/2007 6:42:00 PM

    NEOCOMMS?
    I like that! Very much an accurate description. The lefties throw the neo-con label around, this gives a neat retort. Just to add to the chaotic atmosphere over in the HRC camp, the rumor that ole Hil is doing one of her top advisers, a Muslim woman. So much for H commenting on how romantic Billy Boy is........hehehehe.

    • Posted By: angelus1967 @ 11/05/2007 12:56:18 PM

      Oh for god sake! Now you right wing idiots are throwing rumors around?? From where, supermarket tabloids? In that case there is a rumor that Mrs. Bush is ready to file for divorce as soon as they are out of the White House and that the president has been drinking again.
      Let's get past rumor and into facts. i thought that's what all of this was about; trying to get Hillary's papers so we can see the FACTS!
