    Excellent note, afype. I think your use of sarcastic hyperbole really underscores how silly most of the fears of the right are. Who really thinks anyone would be dumb enough to do some of those things, let alone all of them? I feel a lot more comfortable with her in the White House with your perspective. And to all those folks that missed the humor - look out!! the boogeyman is right behind you!!! Oh and your fly is down.

    Just to vainly attempt to correct the record: Bush's "machine" did not swift boat Kerry in 2004. The Swifites were an independent 527 group with no demonstrated coordination with the White House, by law, and believe me, if the Democrats had found such a coordination we would have heard about it. In fact, the only coordination I remember was Mary Mapes calling up Joe Lockhart to get Bill Birkett access to John Kerry. But I suppose coordination between the MSM and Democrats is so commonplace it's hardly remarkable.

    What experience Billary has, other than she knows how to steel, lie, decit, slander and ingenerla do nothing. What accomplishment can anyone list for her experience in running this country ?. She will raise our taxes 3 folds, Open the borders wide open to illegals more than it is now, release the criminals into our streets, give in to the terroists' demands, back down in the face of China and Russia's world domination plan and in general lower our moral and decency laws. Is she the best candiadte amongst 320 million people who live in USA ?. Is she the best person for the job of the president ?. I say NOT !.

    That is NO reason to vote for someone else who is less experienced.
    The truth is, Clinton is the best we have. Who cares if you don't like her? I don not like my doctor. He is always in a bad mood. But he is the best in town and I know he is looking out for me. that is what matters. WAKE UP! Bush was elected because people wanted to have a beer with him the most. ???? Look what that got us!

    In a country as large and diverse as the US, why have two families dominated the presidency for over 20 years, and we are thinking of letting it go on. Certainly we can do better for president. Two families!! Unbelievable. Her talents, abilities and experience just dont justify this concentration of power.

    God bless USA. I wished Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh or Mike Savage would run for the office of the president. All are true Americans who have Red, White and Blue running thru their veins. They love and respect this land. But unfortunately they never will. There is not one candidate in these current bunches of republican and democrat party members, who are running for the white house, who is any good. They are a bunch old-idea, fizzled-out, self-centered, bribe taking, big business, America haters who have no clue as to what is going on in this dangerous world we live in. Consider these:
    1. Dictators of Iran and Venezuela are banding together to terrorize their citizen and the world.
    2. Dictators of Russia and china are actively working to dominate the world. They are taking b???s of dollars in one-way trade form the USA to bolster their military. They are actively stealing any technology they can get their hands on thru Russian mafia and millions of Chinese illegal aliens who hide in the storage containers and vanish in the big cities.
    3. Illegal aliens are all over USA and most of our cities are over run and infested with them, and no one has any idea, or courage, on how to stop the flow.
    4. English language is being replaced with half other languages in most schools (most American student can't even read or right in their own mother language of English!). No one cares or bothers to raise the concern.
    5. Our school system is failing and they are graduating a whole class of dummies who can't compete in this technology driven world (all technologically advanced equipment is being designed, produced and manufactured somewhere else). This includes countries of India, China, Asian rim countries and even old Easter block nations in Europe. This is regardless of billions of dollars, which taxpayers are spending on the school system. Average per pupil cost is now $11,000 annually in USA. In India and China is $300! Which country do you think had more advancement in science and technology for the last 10 years? If you don???t believe it, look around in your company and see who is running, or designing the computer programs at your place. The best product this country had this year was a toy wooden carriage!
    6. The only think our students now learning is how to have sex correctly and with condoms, how to have parties and watch useless programs, how to find the best porn sites on the web, how to find sites on the web to steal videos and songs, how to be disrespectful to their parents, how to ignore the laws of the society, how to trash the USA and burn its flag, and how to be non-working, non-producing member of the society, and always critical of US armed forces and against our brave men and women who serve in it.

    I???ve got more for the next posting. But meantime, think about where your candidate stands on these above issues.

    My point is the entire Iraq scenario could have been avoided if Clinton had done his job.

  • Posted By: cubanito @ 11/16/2007 5:30:36 PM

    It is still unclear why was Clinton the best president ever. Not one of his defenders would come up with one single valid reason. America's enemies also think Clinton was a good president, for example: Castro, Chavez, and God knows who else. He assaulted sexually, harrassed and committed perjury, I gues that makes him a good example for liberals and socialists, the same people who want Hillary on the White House and can't provide a good reason why. They just "like her"

    • Posted By: julianbook @ 11/17/2007 3:09:33 PM

      He was the worst president ever by a long streak. Note that the first World Trade Center attempt happened under Clinton's watch in 1993. When you try to bring down 2 buildings with 50,000 people in them, it's the equivalent of trying to set off a nuclear bomb in the financial center of the world. A serious and competent president would have seen and treated it as such. Clinton had ample opportunity to nail Bin Laden as his whereabouts were quite known. He was sleeping on the job literally and figuratively (with interns like Monica and the others). The next , successful attempt in bringing down the WTC was planned while Clinton was sleeping, and Hillary was helping to put out lies to the public ("vast right wing conspiracy and all that crap). Bush inherited the Clinton failure. As a result, we've had over 3000 people lost in WTC, almost had the Pentagon destroyed, etc. This has brought us into the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, with possibly a million people killed or maimed, all types of suffering, another 4000 Americans dead, and a practically bankrupt economy. And we're still in the mess, with more people hating us worldwide than ever conceivable. What we need is an intelligent president - someone actually committed to the public interest - to lead us out of the mess, before we wake up under a mushroom - which would probably lead to the end of the planet earth, as the US would have to react, or just wait to be hit with more nuclear bombs. It's that serious. You can be certain that Bin Laden, who's net worth is estimated at 300 million, is working with his associates on how to make a nuclear strike on the US. Hillary is even more incompetent and self-oriented than her husband, who would be the shadow president in her administratio anyway. Nice lie she tries by saying that she would send him around the world as a goodwill ambassador - but then again, as William Safire said years ago, she's a "congenital liar". Obama is the only hope.

        Julian ,are you high? Bush inherited a budget surplus he squandered ,a fair Supreme Court he has packed with idealoges and a Constitution he's circumvented. Bush ignored every warning from Clinton's people.If we somehow manage to get out of Irag ,we will have lost thousands of American lives ,our financial future ,our standing in the World , just to get rid of Saddam. Turn off your talk radio and propaganda TV and read a History book. Bush will go down as the worst President we have ever been cursed with.Or ask a crippled Veteran if anything in Irag was worth 3800 men killed and 28000 wounded.

    Yes, Taratrue, there are those who want a mommy to tell them ther'e loved and mommy will take care of it all.
    In the end this debate is not about Democrats and Republicans nor the gender agenda. It's about reality and the ability to step-up to the plate and lead in the face of adversity, to make unpopular decisions for the right reasons and refuse to allow those that cry loudest to set the national agenda. Yes, both parties have failed to field believable candidates because we are like spoiled children who only want to hear what we want to hear and throw tantrums when denied our personal petty agendas. Rule by special interest is of course impossible and a recipe for disaster. But if those who would vote for mommy savior don't get it they will if she gets elected.

    How can you trust someone whose answer depends on the audience? How can you vote for someone whose platform is I am not George Bush? How can you vote for someone who you feel can not remember the simple details of a major real estate deal but you would have to trust on negotiating with other governments and situations. Hilliary does not seem capable and she can not give a straight answer to questions.

  • Posted By: afype @ 11/15/2007 7:29:41 PM

    Hillary Clinton is a marxist in dress. She is a thief, a charlaton and a mean spirited woman with socilaist view of the world. She will take this country back to stone age if she is elected. She has no experience in running any organization, never mind a great country like USA, and she has plans to divide this country up in little states, similar to what we now have in Europe. She will bankrupt this country and will bring disaster uopn this country by her support of terorrists group around the world and giving in to the cut thorats and lunatics in Iran and Syria, similar to her partner in crime, bill clinton. once did when his gang of thugs and crooks were running the white house. We all end up paying twice more taxes than now, and we all will end up with a forced health care system where you have to wait 3 months to see a doctor to get a perscription for a cold. Our streets will be over run with criminals who will be freed from jail, or worst will not be prosecuted because of either their race or gender or what ever reason liberals like billary belives in. Our educational system will be run down to the ground ...if you think that our educational sytem is bad now , wait till billary and herb gang of 60's leftist get hold of it. if you think a condum tree on the desk of education secratary during bill clinton was terrible, then just wait and see what happaend if queen billary gets in the white house .....they will be passin condums to 4 year olds and show xxx rated pronography to high school kids as a form of elightenment and a requrement for graduation. Our government will be over run with thieves, criminals, murderers, rapists, adulterers, child molsters, illigal aliegns, God haters and America haters, which are left overs from drug days of 60's era. Chinees and Russians, North Korians, Palestinians, Muslim terrorist states will be given free access to all of our military and industrial secrets, ....same as when her partner in crime was the president. Both billaries are crooked, godless individuals who hate christians and all Christ stood for. which is honesty, compassion, character, honor, respect, goodness, obidience to God. After the Bush' family dynasty, we do not need a clinton family dynasty. I know what the plans are ....8 years of billary, then another 8 years of bush via Jebb !. There are 325 million americans live in this country, and I wonder if these bunch of people who are currently running for the white house, demcrats and republicans, are the most qualified people in USA. Are these bunch of people the bset this country can put forward to lead this country for the next 4 years ? ?!, No one else is qualified except these collection of theives, crooked, god hating, america hating polticians who have been on the take all their lives and have not worked a day in their lives ?!. I'm looking at the republican bunch, and they are any better. God help USA. God belss USA. Down with our enemies.
    op!

    MSNBC.com offered a reader's poll after each debate. Ms. Clinto scored poorly when judged by the readers, particularly on the question of actually answering the questions asked of her. The readers scored Joe Biden at or near the top of most categories, yet the talking heads ignored him in post-debate analysis. In the last debate, the camera followed Ms. Clinton after the debate almost exclusively. The medai has annointed her, but the readers' poll showed a vastly different opinion. Joe Biden is a far better choice to guide this nation through the troubled international and domestic waters we now must navigate. I do not trust Ms. Clinton.

      These on-line polls are not accurate as they are over run by "Hillary/ Democrate Haters" who have nothing better to do than vote several times, on several sites. I had someone admit this to me once. During the last election, there were several people who spent the entire day "fixing" these on-line polls and postings.

    The US is a large country with a bizillion intelligent and talented people. Why, then, must two families (the Bushes and the Clintons) dominate the presidency for more than 20 years. We must do something different and better.

    Remember all the terrible news we got about a year ago about Walter Reed Army Hospital and rat-infested rooms? How about the underfunded VA (veterans) health care system?

    If you liked those, you'll love Hillary's National Health Care. Russert should have asked her about that.

    • Posted By: Taratrue @ 11/16/2007 6:18:55 PM

      OMG! That is too funny. You are trying to blame Hillary for the VA mess?

  • Posted By: cubanito @ 11/16/2007 5:38:33 PM

    Hillary's supporters wouldn't probably know that she is using the same tactics Fidel Castro used in 1959 to deceive Cubans into accepting him as President, he promissed to give away stuff, same thing with Hugo Chavez, both have perpetuated in power and will go down in history as the longest ruling dictators. Hillary is promissing to give away stuff, folks, can't you see it? She says her plan is NOT socialized medicine. Castro said in 1959 that his wasn't going to be a Socialist government, and only three years later BAM!!! he declares Socialism. DON'T LET THIS GREAT COUNTRY FOLLOW CUBA'S STEPS!!!!!

    Being a control freak is not always a bad thing. I have a book titled "Control Freak". In it, it explains that people who are labeled controls freaks often simply care about something more that you (the labeler) does. It is not negative for them to care more. Some of the most successful business people and professional athletes have a controlling nature (e.g., Oprah, George Clooney, Warren Buffett). Sometimes, controlling people have a clearer vision of what needs to happen. I have found that it is often submissive people who complain about controlling people. That's because submissive people "feel" the pain of either being told what to do or having higher expectations / demands made of them. The truth of the matter is that much of the progress in society would not happen without strong leader with vision that instruct and sometimes demand things of others. So, little up people. It take many types to lead a great nation.

    To those who thought that Bill Clinton was the best president, maybe you should look closer at what he fought for (or didn't fight for). NAFTA was his brain child, as was an education plan very similar to No Child Left Behind. He failed to get National Health Care, with a majority congress! Environmental issues like raising standard miles per gallon were completely ignored. I think Obama was right in his attacks against the Clinton years. Those years could be sumed up best by saying they were prosperous despite the Clintons.
