    Bills aggressive behavior on the campaign trail sends me a message as to what things would be like in the White House if Hillary became president. We would not only have to put up with her cold anger but his uncontrollable mouth and arrogance. Who's running for president, Hil or Bill?

    While pretending to explain all of that "fairy tail" stuff, Bill Clinton made a racially divisive statement that probably resounded in the ears of some people, as a call to protect "their own." He said that for African Americans, a vote for Barack Obama is "a source of enormous pride . . ." Signaling that an African American vote for Barack is a vote for racial pride. Inferentially, if African Americans are voting racially, white Americans should do the same . . .

      That wasn't racially divisive. It is the truth that people feel pride when one of their own does well. There is nothing wrong with that. Many women are voting for Hillary Clinton in part because she is a woman. That doesn't mean they would vote for any woman -- say Paris Hilton for example. For the same reason, there is nothing wrong with African Americans voting with pride for Obama. As with women voting for Hillary, that is only one part of the equation. It doesn't mean for example African Americans would vote for any African American. But when women or African Americans can have as a candidate one of their own who is also great, that adds to the fervor of people's support for the candidate.

      As a student in a Catholic parochial school in 1960, I can tell you that Irish Catholics came out in droves for JFK and were proud that he was one of his own.

    My hope is that the American people will be able to discern truth from lies, and pick the most honest players.
    I think the media can help the electorate the most if it makes a concerted effort to compare candidates' statements with the facts, and expose those who lie and those who do not. This will supply voters with the means to select the best candidates. I feel voters are trying their best to make the best choices at this critical time, and the media can best serve the cause by helping the citizens become informed voters.

    Ooh, the Democratic higher-ups don't like Bill speaking out. They never did anyway, so who cares?

    The perception already exists that Hillary is unelectable. By his behavior, Bill Clinton reinforces that belief with his lies and attacks against Obama. His presence and ugly demeanor and finger pointing reinforces the fact that America does not need to perpetuate political dynasties (and reminds us all of his parsing the 'definition of what is is.

    Given their history, why would anyone believe anything the HillBilly's say?
    These two criminals are in their element redefining "the end justifying the means". They are two politicians that have become corrupt by being in their chosen field too long. To avoid prosecution and voter intolerance they sophisticate their lying by redefining words like "is", "inhale", "sex", "perjury", "draft", "enabler", "marriage" and now "fairy tail".
    The Roman Empire was destroyed within by corrupt politicians that felt the end justifies the means and their interests were more important than the peoples. Today we are on the brink of electing these two corrupt people to our highest elected office for a third time. How stupid is that!

    The truth is, Obama is having to deal with what Republicans have been dealing with for over 15 years. Bull Clinton is a liar! Of course, until now, the left ignored it because it was politically expedient for them and they covered for him. But they should have seen it coming. When lies become an instrument of policy, you should know that sooner or later it will come back to bite you. Now it has!

    Bill Clinton continuing to degrade the office of the President of the United States should be of no surprise to anyone. Name me one former president who campaigned for a candidate during the party's primary. None. Except Clinton thinks he is more important than anyone or anything. Yep, we are so glad the democrats are nominating Hillary. It's the only way the repubs can keep the White House.

    Hey Lambrusco,

    You just proved our point, you can't even spell.

  • Posted By: MrPandy @ 01/20/2008 6:04:31 PM

    That's right, lambrusco, it's the VRWC all over. The helicopters are over your home right now, watching you.

    Be afraid.

    Be very afraid.

    Remember when Bush paid millions for articles attacking McCain's military service,and won? Those same people,not the Clintons not Barack are writing these articles and seeing if dermocrats follow them like sheep or act like responsible citizens and see through their smoke. Don't let false lies and Republican surrogates plant false articles that they think will split us up. They think Democrats atre not as intelligent as them.

    If all of the hope and higher calling that Obama is apparently bringing out in democrat voters are going to be dashed upon the rocks of the bureaucrats who know they need Hillary to keep the government machine in place, then what do democrat voters have to look forward to? Another 4 years of TV shows filled with Clinton apologists explaining away every defect and attacking her political opponents? The democrat party has never done worse this century than when Clinton used it as a living host to feed his political popularity while sacrificing the faithful and their issues. Great news for democrats, huh?

    The democrats better send this Arkansas Hillbilly home before he has a stroke or heart attack.

    The democrats better send this Arkansas Hillbilly home befor he has a stroke and has to be carried out on a stretcher from some campaign location.

    Bill Cllinton wants to become President, that is his main objective. And people of America, it can happen! why do you think he is out there attacking on every issue. This is just more dirty tricks by the Clintons, they cannot play fair. If Hillary becomes President, she can make Bill her VP. If she decides to cry and throw of her fits, she can say, I have had enough, Bill you take over. You are better at this than I am. It can happen. Wake up America!

    Using his middle birth name as part of a sideswipe insult identifies you instantly as a bigot and a fool, 88. Your attempt at subtlety is about as transparent as an oiled butt on a porn site.
