Clinton Gets ‘Worked Up’ in Ohio

She’s my girl. I want somebody who will fight to get this country back where it needs to be.
She has shown time after time that she has the will,determination and fight that this country needs. GO HILLARY!

“Sandra”
Obama also said he doesn’t know how he would have voted if he had the information that they did. He is now using his “infinite wisdom” to dupe people.
You were not privied to the information they were given, so how can you determine how “you” would have voted!

Rodney: Before you continue to insult a multitude of women who are proud to be 60 and referred to as a “girl”, you may want to stop and think. Then again, you may not care who you insult. Hillary is one of the “girls” and there are many more of us out there amused by the likes of you!

Sandra:I too am adamately against the war and I always have been. It’s easy for Obama to stand tall and speak out when many surround him and chant his praise. It takes a powerful leader to take us to into the new frontiers, to break new ground, in new territories, to not be fearful but fearless. It takes a powerful leader to heal not just the wounds inflicted in the fabric of this country but to see and feel the pain suffered by citizens in many countries. It takes a powerful leader to stand alone and fight the fight and even in failure to rise again, to fight again. We’ve watched Hillary Clinton be fearless, fight and lose and continue the fight. We’ve watched Hillary Clinton, stand on the Senate floor, not at a peace rally, and vote and state her reasons for her vote. She, more that the other 76 Senators has stood against repeated personal attacks for that vote, despite the fact that it was George Bush and not Hillary Clinton and the other 76 unnamed Senators that deceived the citizens of this country and lead us to where we are now. The mistake lays at the feet of those who citizens who voted for George Bush, not the senate for for something that was not a vote for WAR!
Obama chants the Kennedy theme without understanding that negotiating out of fear, isn’t the issue, but rather negotiating from power is the winning position. He chants lines from Martin L. King that led a generation before him to take action. Obama fails to understand that it takes a powerful leader to not just inspire, with the words of others but to speak from your heart with the clarity your words that inspire and call to action your followers to face a fierce battle with the opposition to right wrongs. Obama is naïve to think that we all just talk and reach an agreement. He is naïve to think that talk with anyone without a plan will protect America.
There are similarities bewtween Bush and Obama. I’ve had enough of someone “attempting” to run the country. I’m for someone who has withstood the test.

Amazon Traveler,
Why can’t you Hillary supporters keep your facts straight? She failed to read the NIE that was provided to her before the vote, instead relying on a “staff summary.” Recently, in the California debate, she tried to claim that she didn’t think it was a vote for the use of force (despite the occurrence of exactly those words in the title of the resolution), and also distorted the Levin amendment to rationalize her failure to vote for that. The truth is the voted for the resolution with her future political ambitions in mind, trying to set herself up as being tough enough to be president. Her total lack of candor on this issue is, alone, enough to disqualify her.
Likewise, you are distorting and mischaracterizing Obama’s statements and positions. He recognizes that Bush’s adventurist, unilateralist foreign policy has weakened us as a nation and stretched our military to the breaking point, and has spoken about negotiating from a position of strength by getting out of Iraq and re-focusing on Afghanistan where Al Quaeda was based, and where we had them on the run until Bush decided to transfer our resources from there for the foolish Iraq invasion.
Finally, this silly comparison of Obama with Bush is just over the top. Obama accomplished more in his first five years out of college than Bush had in his whole life before he became (you note I don’t say “was elected”) president), or has since. And, unlike Bush, he worked hard for everything he achieved.

Hillary proposed to clean up the White House after Bush jr. May McCain or Obama give her the job. Ayone can use a cleaning woman, even if she’s old and talks too much. At least she’ll be no danger to the next President. She’s the ideal type for woman for those who could be attracted to feminine, gentle, witty, busty creatures such as Ms. Lewinsky.

Hey, how about knocking off the personal attacks? That’s not what people want on this blog. Can we please stick to issues and qualifications?

I am 55 and all for Hillary and I was thinking I could vote for Obama but not now

J,
Do you really think cross-over Republicans are responsible for Obama’s victory margins in the last 11 primaries and caucuses he has won — with the CLOSEST margin being 17 points? You must know that is not realistic.
The fact is that Hillary has run a poor campaign, and Obama has run a very good one. If you could open your mind a little bit, you would recognize how much the way each has run their respective campaigns shows about their intelligence, insight, judgment in hiring/appointing people, and ability to inspire people — in other words, each one’s ability to be president.

Sorry, J, you insult my intelligence. Unlike most people these days, I read 2 or 3 newspapers, and read and listen to all sorts of sources.
The facts about how these two candidates have managed their campaigns are right there for everyone to see — as are the results for the last 11 primaries/caucuses.
I don’t think exit polls are “biased,” and if you take the time to delve into the details, you can learn for yourself what portion of the electorate in a given caucus or primary is Republicans. Regardless of whether or not they’re voting for him because they believe in him or would like to run against him, there are not enough of them to explain Obama’s victories.
Unlike a lot of the die-hard Hillary supporters/Obama-haters, I try to be fair-minded about all this stuff, and while I think Hillary is a very capable person and is competent to handle the job of president, I just think she is too divisive to win in November. Obama may lose to McCain, he may not, but he’s polling 10 to 15 points better than Hillary is against him at the moment.
As for substance, I’ve read Obama’s book and it is chock full of thoughtful, substantive ideas on the issues (and unlike Hillary’s book, he wrote it himself).
If she gets the nomination I will certainly vote for her, since I can’t contemplate the thought of any more Robertses or Alitos on the Supreme Court, for one reason, but I think Obama offers is a chance for a fresh start and some real change.
In other words, we just disagree.

Anyone care to discuss Senator Obama’s loss of support in the national polls (Gallup and Rasmussen)?
Hey ABC want to report that? No – didn’t think so.
Hey ABC – want to discuss further Sen. Obama’s falsehoods in the debate Thursday about Afghanistan? This kind of lying (pardon me – misrepresentation) of facts is exactly why people are taking a second look at the Senator. He is wholely unequipped to be the leader of the free world.

obama supporters should start to show the respect to the Hillary supporters, it will be us that you will need to get your man the presidency. Keep being cocky, you will definitly be on your own, stop the immaturity. I am a democrat, but I don’t have to vote for him just because he is the chosen one. I can chose not to have to defend a vote for 4 more years, its been great these last 8 years not having to defend bush.

I won’t vote for somebody that I don’t believe in. I don’t believe in Senator Obama.
Like I said I will write in Senator Clinton’s name if she is not the nominee.

That’s what I’m talking about!! Show us your heart. The American people are going to become passionate about a Clinton campaign when Clinton becomes passionate about a Clinton campaign. I think that’s just about now. I’m with you Hillary.

It is very interesting how the bloggers show their ignorance and innocense (as McCain says regarding the Iraq war !!
The argument waged by the Democrats is that the war is bad because it cost much in money and lifes.
This being valid for any war, this would mean, only as an example:
- after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US should have sent to Japan a polite diplomatic note asking not to do such any more
- the US should never have declared war to Hitler’s Germany and after a few years, instead greet friends with a
“hello” or “hi”, yell “Heil Hitler”
- Lefties are decrying any military action to protect the oildl supply. But
if it gets scarce, as it already happened before, these same lefties riot
in protest.
But of course, DEMAGOGUES as the Democrats (I would accept that Obama does it out of innocense, not so Hillary) rely on the innocense and ignorance of the average person to make them vote for him!!)

To: LeeLee07 ,…
If Obama is SO Baddddd,…it wouldn’t have been a HONOR for Hillary to sit next to him!!!
Words do matter ;-)

“We also understand that he CAN’Tt get INTO the White House without us.You guys have been so over-the-top that when Election Day comes, a lot of Hillary supporters will sit at home on their “uneducated” butts or cast their “uneducated” votes for the Republican candidate. I will be one of them.”
Lee lee 07,
I dont know why you are getting upset from your own tirade you are only confirming what many persive are the obvious demographics of the Clinton supporters. I mean how petty can one get to actually pledge support for another party simply because your candidate did not win. so what you are saying is you will rather forget all what your party stands for, the suffering of the average American, continous slaughter of troops,downward spiralling of the economy why?? because you are upset with Obama supporters and want to settle score’s with them. Im afraid I dont have words for you or others like you who are wlling to allow personal grudges get in the way of putting America back on the pedestal where it belongs.
ill like to encourage everyone from all side’s to grow up, bantering is all part of competition and it has been coming from both camps once the chips are down, think of America first before settling petty personal scores which will have catastropic consequences, sure you vote Mcain and then what, I hope you know you as well as many others and not Obama alone will suffer the consequences

NAFTA is a weak spot for Hillary. She used to be in favor of it. Now she’s trying to hide that.

Aruze – you are entitled to your opinion. However, I am an old school democrat. I was signed up to register to vote by Jesse Jackson who personally handed me to the pen to do so during Jimmy Carter’s campaign. I was probably in the last generation to actually live the “Whites Only” signs in stores and other “public places.” I was in that 1st batch of children to be bussed to white schools in Baltimore, Md. This is not the Democratic Party I signed up for. This party is not supposed to be about hate politics – black vs. female. We are supposed to be representing both equally – I have not seen much of that lately. A lot of us haven’t. Now you think I should vote for a man who I feel has no talent other than the gift of oration – for my Party. Isn’t that what the Republicans did for George Bush? Obama and his supporters says he is the Uniter. If this is the way he and his supporters plan to UNITE this party, I want no part of it. How can you unite this Democratic party if you are insulting the other half of it? The thing that I find most offensive is the fact that Obama’s supporters have taken the Republican playbook and thrown it at the other Democrat nominee and used her husband’s past to smear her with it. I also experienced the Women’s Liberation movement, although I did not burn my bra. Obama and his supporters say “Change.” This seems like the same old, same old to me. Same old, dirty politics. What exactly is he going to change? The “Status Quo” that you all don’t want a part of???? Meanwhile, Obama is out there courting every “Status Quo” candidate that he can find to endorse him. Lets see, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, you get my drift. This has been one of the most divisive, sexist, racist campaign I have ever seen during all my years of voting – and it is not all on the Clinton side. Not by a long shot. So you want me to support the Democrat Party? Like I said, this is not the Party I signed up for. For me, this is not about settling scores with Obama and his supporters – this is voting about a qualified candidate that is able to pull our country out of the very, deep trouble it is in. Last I checked – this is still America and I can vote for whomever I want to. I will not vote for the “other” George Bush (Obama) no more than I will vote for Mickey Mouse. You want me to stick with a Party just to put someone in office that I seriously have doubts about? Sounds alot like how the Republicans along with the Supreme Court put GW in office. Now, how is that serving my country??? You want me to vote for Obama despite my feelings that voting for Obama is a hugh mistake?/ That is like African Americans thinking that other African Americans should vote for Obama because he is African American. Just because he is does not and should not mean that he automatically get our votes. This election should be about qualifications, unfortunately for a lot of people it is not. If he gets the nod, I will most assuredly sit on my butt, with my “uneducated and now, petty vote” and watch the elections results roll in. Like I said before, Obama will not get my vote – I don’t care if you have words for me or not, just don’t get my integrity twisted with a need to have the Democratic Party win this election at any cost. The cost will be too great for this country to pay.

Thanks, but I am calm. You have a good one too.

Re The Iraq vote: Get over it. The War is real and what ifs and shoulda couldas are not going to change that. I think it’s a good thing that Hillary voted for military force, if she had not she would have been perceived as weak and afraid to use force. Stop blaming Hillary, we all know that the Iraq war falls completely on Bush’s shoulders. I think Hillary was trying to do the right thing. If Hillary says it was a mistake, then she looks weak. Edwards admitted that his voting for the war was a mistake, and where is he now. SHUT UP ABOUT THE IRAQ vote, it’s the past, we have to focus now on what to do about the remaining struggles a new president will face. AND Obama is an idealist who will fail to accomplish what he says because things don’t work that way. We don’t know what will happen in Iraq but most likely whoever wins will not be able to bring all the troops home by 09 or end the occupation completely by then so why lie and say that you can. To say it’s possible is one thing, but to assure the American people it can be done is on your watch is…..a fairy tale and people need to stop believe in Obama false prophecies for he himself is a false prophet.

O.K. I have a question , here people are saying that Qbama is against war , well what about him wanting to take the military out of Irag and send them to Darfur , to stop the genocide , will our trops be any better off then ,
don’t get me wrong I want our troops home but I also want our country to be safe

If you do nothing, so you have no fault.
If we talk obama’s background, I know he is “street organizer”, and buy a $2 million house with the help of corruption rezko.
anything else, he only have “hope, change and future”
Hillary is rare woman, a true president.

I think Hillary now believes the “end is near”

Hillary supporters keep on bringing up her experience. Even if Hillary did not support NAFTA, she certainly did not make any VOCAL opposition to her husband’s endorsement of NAFTA. If she is so independent, why didn’t she make a statement about why she disagreed with NAFTA? As for the Iraq War, everyone knows that Obama was anti-war. That is an important issue for our generation. Lastly, I am afraid of Bill Clinton controlling Hillary’s policies if the superdelegates “rig” the election in her favor. Those who support HRC should realize that she was on a committee supporting voter reform and believed that the popular vote should determine elections. Why is she suddenly in favor of superdelegates determining the election? She has too many minuses in her resume and does not have a consistent message. Barack has a consistent approach and does not change his ideas. Most of his campaign, he has been the underdog. Never a tear shed.
I felt that Hillary was condescending to Barack in the last debate–
