A Clinton-Obama Slugfest

I really hope that the Democrats will pick Obama. He is their only chance of winning. Hillary carries far too much old baggage, the Republicans will make mincemeat of her. She can never make it in November.
It would be far more difficult to attack Obama. Anybody who tries to attack him would be accused of racism.

CLINTON, ANGER AND A QUESTION OF RAPE

What has gotten into Bill Clinton, he of red-faced outbursts of anger, Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson asked Tuesday.
Katha Pollitt of the liberal Nation Magazine, an unlikely ally of Hillary's "vast rightwing conspiracy" already gave one answer (http://www.thenation.com/doc/19990322/pollitt ):
"We will never know the truth behind Juanita Broaddrick's claim that Bill Clinton raped her in a Little Rock hotel room in l978. The most you can say about it, which is also the least you can say about it, is that her story is credible ... investigations by NBC News and reporting from the Washington Post poked no major holes in it.
"She has as much corroboration as Anita Hill--friends who say she told them about the assault at the time, one of whom says she saw her immediately after with a bruised and swollen lip. ... the best Clinton's defenders can come up with is that rape doesn't fit his 'MO'--as if, after all the backing and filling and prevaricating and outright lying, we know what this man's MO really is."
More recently Christopher Hitchens, also of the independent left, has written
(http://www.slate.com/id/2182065 ):
"In my opinion, Gennifer Flowers was telling the truth; so was Monica Lewinsky, and so was Kathleen Willey, and so, lest we forget, was Juanita Broaddrick, the woman who says she was raped by Bill Clinton.... Yet one constantly reads that both Clintons, including the female who helped intensify the slanders against her mistreated sisters, are excellent on women's "issues."
Then there was one of the original Washington Post stories, "Clinton Accuser's Story Aired"
(http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics... ), that was very sympathetic to Ms. Broaddrick:
"Juanita Broaddrick told her story to a national television audience last night, saying she did not tell authorities 21 years ago of her contention that Bill Clinton sexually assaulted her because 'I just don't think anyone would have believed me.'
"In a gripping account punctuated by sobs, the Arkansas woman told "Dateline NBC" that in her Little Rock hotel room, Clinton suddenly 'turned me around and started kissing me, and that was a real shock. I first pushed him away. I just told him 'no.'... He tries to kiss me again. He starts biting on my lip.... And then he forced me down on the bed. I just was very frightened. I tried to get away from him. I told him 'no.'... He wouldn't listen to me.'
Yet today, somehow, the media is more interested in covering the presidential "horse race" than looking at hard truths while professional "women's rights activists", lowly whistle and look past the individual carnage and the possibilities for A reprise of Oval Office embarrassment.

Hey whats bill doing on the campaign trail? Does't he have a date with an intern somewhere?

****** I think that OBAMA supporters need to get in the blogs and spread the truth about OBAMA without attacking the CLINTONS (which is hard to do). The American people want the truth for some reason or another it needs to shoved in their face.****

* HE'S THE ONE WITH THE REAL EXPERIENCE (11 YEARS OF PUBLIC OFFICE)
* SELF MADE MAN
* YOU DONT HEAR HIM BRINGING UP ANY DIRT ABOUT THE CLINTONS (WHICH THE REPS WILL)
*HE'S PASSED MORE BILLS THAN HILLARY (THERE'S A LAW WITH HIS NAME ON IT ON NUCLEAR PROLIFICATION)
* He gets accused of Rhetoric V. Reality but common his Rhetoric is realistical and practical and has major accomplishments on ethics reform to prove it...
* Others talk about Health care Well others have had changes when it comes to Health care, it hasnt gotten done there is Rhetoric, V, Reality


Just a few. Arm Ourselfs with the truth and spread it. He is not just a great motivational speaker this man has substance.

Senator Obama is offering hope -- hope in the American dream, hope in the American experiment, hope in the American people's ability to create a better future. Some have dismissed this hope and asked us to take a "reality check."

O.k., I will take the time to check reality -- and acknowledge openly that without hope in ourselves very little will get better. Without hope, very little will change. We can continue to fight, to divide, and mumble against our government. Or we can replace our fears with hope in the American people, and work together with Senator Obama to create a better future for ourselves and all Americans. It's been done before -- let us do it again.

Hey , I wonder if Bill Clinton uses the same cigar on Hillary as he used on Monica? Is that a 3-som by proxie? I heard Hillary doesn't do Bill anymore. I heard she's into women now. Anybody know the tryth of it?

Obama has been accused of being young and naive. I think he demonstrated that he is not either in the last debate. I don't like to the fighting, but I think that Obama was forced to address these issues with strength. I commend him for not backing down and I think it's time to move on. Senator Obama, please continue to campaign with integrity and I will support you with my vote.

Oh, Please! Obama did compare the Reagan era favorably with the Kennedy era and he said that Bill Clinton was not not in the same league Surely, surely that is a favorable statement about Reagan. How else can you read it? Nooooo, Obama did not say Reagan was a great president but when you compare him favorably with John Kennedy, the implication is obvious, especially to Democrats. Give me a break!!!

To White Obama Supporter-You have no clue of the everyday life of poor white,hispanic,etc people. Excuse me but i have been followed by cops for travelling through a mostly black neighborhood numerous times and questioned and had my vehicle searchd.I have been given terrible service because of the color of my skin.I have been given lower paying jobs in a government job training program because of the color of my skin(My choice of jobs was ditch digging and data entry for $4 an hour while the ladies in the office were talking about saving the good jobs for their friends and other people from the black community-not my theory,actually hearing them blatantly talking about it to each other in front of me and knowing nothing could be done about this clearly racist act).I have been harrassed on the job and called racist names and had to work harder then others because the color of my skin.I have been watched by security in a stores orr mocked in other stores by clerks because of the color of my skin.I am White and poor..I guess it's ok in your eyesto be racist towards people like me,because i deserve it?Obama could attack me,kick me,beat me,lie about me and stir up racial divisions(Calling others racist to get the black vote) as he's done to many others and you would find nothing wrong with it! Racism also come from people of other colors MR. Im Rich and haven't got a clue in your little Fairy Tale Life. So before you open your pathetic idiot mouth and talk about things you have no clue about...STFU BytheWay unlike you i treat EVERYONE as i would like to be treated,not just certain groups that makes you look good in the public and MEDIA's eyes. F'ing Hypocrite

I'll tell you what bothered me the most about this last debate: When asked if Bill Clinton was the first African-American President, I really wish Obama said, "Mr. Clinton was instrumental in supporting the black community during his Presidency. However, until he gets followed through a department store by security based on the color of his skin, he's not Black. Until he gets stopped by the police - and treated as if he's an ex-com, then no - he's not Black. That is something Bill Clinton will never understand.

Okay, I like to hear Obama speak, I think he's a very refreshing face in the poltcial landscape of today. He's actually what got me intrested in the Dem side of this election, (I'm a Rep, but a VERY liberal one:) but over the last few days he's reminded me more of a whiny 10 year old then a potential prez. I was young during the Clinton years, but i do remember that my mother was a young struggling singel mother and thar Clinton was the one who helped put things together that allowed us to make it. I also remember that the Clintons are a no-holds bar kind of family who have been known to play fast ans loose with the facts. I was 17 in 2000 (which says something about my youth durning Monica-gate) and i know better then to mess with the Clintons. For Obama to get deffensive and complain that he cant tell which Clinton he's running against only makes him sound childish and inempt. Everyone knows (or at least should by this point) that there are not Clintons in the singular; they are THE Clinton and if you're going to take them on you'd better have thick skin, strong staff and a mouth piece!
