The world would be a better place if RON PAUL were President

I think it's important to remind voters that Bill is NOT running for President, and that Hillary is

NOT Bill. Whether he's the one writing her policy initiatives doesn't detract from the fact that a Hillary White House will be very different from Bill's White House. I became disillusioned with Hillary because her vote for the war was a political tactic to appeal to more conservative voters during the general election. At the time of her vote, most of congress blindly followed Bush into his war based on lies. How would it have looked if Hillary had voted against it at the time? Since then Hillary has voted more hawkishly than most other dems in Congress, and that scares me. Is she just Bush in a dress? How do we know? Does she have real convictions or does she take a stand on issues motivated by what will make her more popular?

Because I cannot answer those questions, I do NOT trust her! She's Slick Hillary without the charisma of Bill and without Bill's genuine care for the American citizenry. A vote for Hillary is a vote for continuing contention between conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats. It's a risk because we don't know who we're voting for--Bill? Politically motivated HIllary? BILLARY???

Barack Obama has been straightforward and honest. His white house will be as transparent as Bill's without Bill's moral baggage. I was really impressed when he said that he would sit down with doctors, nurses, consumer advocacy groups and even the drug and pharmaceutical companies (although they would not "own every chair") and discuss changing the health care system ON C-SPAN. If that isn't honest transparency, if that isn't saying to the American people, "Look, we're here in front of you. You can see and hear everything that's said and discussed, and we are each held accountable by you for our words and actions," then I don't what is. That's as transparent as any president can get.

Obama should challenge Hillary to do the same thing. I'll bet she'd say something Bushian like, "Some things can't be discussed in public." Bull. Like I said, Bush in a dress.

VOTE OBAMA '08!

I would like for Obama to tell the American people why he will not wear an American Flag on his lapel or will not RECITE the Pledge of Allegiance. Why he would not take the Oath og office wis his hand on the Bible instead of the Islamic Koran. How can he pretend that he will defend this country when he beleives In the Koran that teaches violence and death to all people of a democracy.

Of course Hillary has a plan because Bill wrote it for her. Aren't we really re-electing him? What first woman president? It's kind of deceptive because he will be running the country again. We should just get rid of the 22nd amendment that says a president can't run for a third term. Then all of this confusion with Hillary would be gone. We could re-elect Bill legally instead of under the guise of his wife.

But we need to be careful for what we ask. True change is no guarentee that it will be a good chage or a worse change. Bill Clinton did have his 8 years and the economy was pretty good but that never stopped both Bushes from getting in. Why didn't someone say the first Bush had his chance. I'm surprised that Jeb didn't step forward to screw it up more this time.

tocdavis5061..You must of not been living in the 1990's, Our economy was terrific, it is history. The country was in a suplus. Today we are facing a real recession and Obama is not going to bring us to a booming economy we once had. He does not have the experience to handle our country. I can not trust him to be in charge of our country in the crucial times we are facing and the challenges that are ahead. Edwards was an angry man that likes to really attack, He does not know where and who, but he is attacking. Its time to be peaceful with one another. Hillary is the only one that can bring us to the economy we once had, She is the
only one that can bring the global respect we had around the world. Please research the facts... Its our country and our livelyhood thats at stake here. Its time to do our homework and stop with the hate and negatisim that we hear in the media. We need to do our homework and stop listening to all the bashers.

The Clinton's are not people we (as American) can trust. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
We need to ask ourselves, do we really want change? Together we can change this country. Its about us (Americans), not power for the Clintons. Can we even name only 1 thing Hillary accomplished in your 35 years of service for the people? Its all about her not Americans. When she doesn't deliver and is caught ot lying she blames it on everyone, but her. Do you really think she really want to fight the battles for us. Think and think hard before going to the polls. i

No accomplishmnts....hmmm:
1) Her first cause was children, fighting abuse, and chairing the Children's Defense Fund.
2) She helped establish the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) and the Adoption and Safe Families Act.
3) Hillary passed legislation to track the health status of our troops so that conditions like Gulf War Syndrome would no longer be misdiagnosed.
4) She is an original sponsor of legislation that expanded health benefits to members of the National Guard and Reserves and has been a strong critic of the Administration's handling of Iraq.
5) She has passed legislation that will bring more qualified teachers into classrooms and more outstanding principals to lead our schools.
6) Hillary is one of the original cosponsors of the Prevention First Act to increase access to family planning.

She has also visited 80 different counties speaking on various topics.

.....and Obama has done what ??????

I was undecided until last night's debate. Obama needed to match up with Clinton's detailed, realistic - only her plan sounded achievable in terms of time line and budget. He looked as if he is running for Clinton's running mate. People should take this election seriously and make their decision based upon the Action plans that will start on the day 1, not based upon impression or "Likeability". This isn???t American Idol!!!

As a Nevada democrat, I have a comment about the attempt to create these at-large precincts in Strip hotels. I am one who would find it much more convenient to caucus in a precinct other than in my home neighborhood, but I am NOT allowed to do that. I can only participate in the caucus if I am in my home precinct. It seems very unfair to me that I have to follow this rule, but Strip workers are being allowed to caucus in precincts created especially for them, and not in their home precincts. It's not fair to ME, regardless of whom they support, or who I support. It just means I have to go to my own precinct, and they don't have to go to theirs
