Clinton Roadshow Speeding Towards Tuesday
EmailABC’s Eloise Harper reports: Sen. Clinton greeted a screaming crowd in Albuquerque, NM. Clinton acknowledged Gov. Bill Richardson and told the crowd that her husband and Richardson would be watching the Super Bowl together. "Tomorrow my husband will be here to watch the Super Bowl with Bill. My understanding is: do not get between Bill Clinton, and Bill Richardson and the TV set when the Super Bowl is on."
Clinton launched a variation on her stump speech today, leading phrases with "The America I see …" and following that with points about affordable health care, college, and ending the war in Iraq. Clinton has been introducing McCain into her stump speech, reminding voters that he envisions leaving troops in Iraq for 100 years. Clinton now says that she wants to start bringing "them out in 100 days." Up until this point Clinton has said that she will begin bringing troops home within 60 days of becoming president.
For the second event in a row, a person in the crowd fainted -– and both times Clinton’s daughter Chelsea came to the rescue. At an event in Tucson, AZ, Chelsea jumped on stage and grabbed her mother’s water bottle to deliver it to the ailing audience member. At the event in Albuquerque, Chelsea, along with other staffers, rushed around, trying to get help for the fallen audience member.
Clinton heads to St Louis, Mo. tonight, concluding her tour of the west before Super Tuesday.

Obama Backs Off Birth Control Battle?
Hillary following Obama lead. If you can’t beat them co-opt and dilute there message.

Some of these comments to discredit Obama are laughable.
Who cares?
It is safe to say that whatever skeletons may be in Obama’s closet, Hilary has ten times as many. Fully vetted? Hardly. If she is nominated, the Republicans will have a field day with all the Clinton scandals that have emerged and are yet to emerge. It will be Monica Lewinsky all over again, with less focus on issues and more focus on the sordid personal lives of Billary.
If the Obama campaign can be summed up with, “YES WE CAN”, then the Clinton one invokes, “NO THANK YOU”.

ps – cracking on Clinton for her Iran vote?
Obama was so gutless on it, he voted Present – AGAIN.
But he uses THAT as a weapon against her too.
His non-vote, pansy-sissy-afraid-to-stand-up vote. Present, Miss Apple. Present, Mr. Principle. Present, Mrs. Sunday School. Present, Mommy.
And this shows guts? 130 times you can’t stand up because you know you have to face the consequences? Gutless. Dishonest. Sneeky. That’s what we hear about Clinton.
At least she showed up and said, one way or another, right or wrong – AYE.
Your horse said “Here” cause he didn’t have the fortitude or the decency to say Yes, Or No.

Obama is going to get crushed in the media if he wins the general election. Oprah already has serious problems with her base fans for choosing a black candidate over a woman, which is 99% of her audience. She will have to live that down over the next 10 years. Nobody believes Oprah is voting for Obama for any other reason thn he is black and she is.
Obamas record and platform is so far to the left, and he cant drag out every 20 year old out of their dorm in all 50 states in the election. This OBAMA HYPE is in for a rude awakening in the general election.

One more thing I should do, is clarify what I really am getting at here.
I am aware of Clinton’s baggage and I accept it because I think in the long run she is a tougher candidate and has had to face, AND VOTE, on issues. This gives me the proof I need when considering what how she is going to stand on an issue, or how she sees it.
What I want folks to do is admit that Obama has these distortions and dishonesties but they accept them anyway and like him despite them.
But you won’t hear the Obama people even submit to that. Oh no. He is pure, driven, clean as a fresh stream. He is not like these others.
He is.
He was.
He will be.
Just like them.
He’s proved it by his exaggerations and distortions.
When he is called on it, you can barely hear him refute it. He mumbles, stammers, dodges it. Sloughs it off.
But they are there and they are real and they are true.
So, if you people would just admit to his corruptions and dishonesties, it might make things easier to undertand while you support him. But this continued Brothers Grimm fairy tale is not reality. Santa is NOT coming down the chimney. The boogie man is not in the closet or under the bed, and the creatures in the night are just shadows playing tricks. Grow up. Admit his faults and STILL like him. But admit them because they are not shadows on the wall. They are the wall.

What is sad is that the media is deliberately ignoring negative stories about Obama and propogating negative stories and comments about Clinton for the sake of ratings.
You still have not, nor has anyone else disected and discounted, through evidence, the claims that I have quoted. You do what your candidate does. You distract, dodge, change the subject, twist the conversation, and then just don’t answer.
Same thing all the time. And yes, it can sound Clintonesque. Like I said, I accept my candidate’s faults and past. I have yet to hear any Obama fan admit his faults and obfuscations, and then just say they like him anyway.
They spend copious amounts of time defending him on every point, despite the printed truth, despite the reality of the Ethics Bill and who wrote it and made it pass, despite the Nuclear Bill he touts which was a watered down mess that didn’t do a thing to hurt his big campaign donator. Or hurt his spokesman who worked with this Nuclear company that Obama won’t regulate.
These are facts. They can’t be twisted. They also are not being reported widely.
So, admit his faults and still love him, that’s fine. I have done that here. But you can’t get an Obamathonian to admit he does have serious, dishonest, misleading behavior that is being covered up by the msm.

Man, you lot are depressing. Minutae, minutae minutae. They are extremely similar candidates, policy-wise. They just come in very different packages.
Stop ranting like loons (repetitive, extended posting is hugely boring, take some time and make a succinct point). It all boils down to the devil you know against the devil you don’t. I personally believe the “vetted” things I know about the Clintons put them in a negative position, even if all of Obama’s rumours were true. Combine that with the Bill Factor (for me, definitely a negative), with the existing Republican distaste, and then Obama’s negotiation skills…
I don’t believe Obama’s a gamble. And I believe Hillary is not the right president for this particular time.

Whew…that’s a relief. I’m glad Bill Richardson will be keeping an eye on ole BillyBoy for you Hill. Can’t have him chasing women now can we. I mean after that uranium mess hit the news that would be real embarrassing.
Is it me or does anyone else get the feeling the Clintons are having to work awfully hard to keep their lead? I don’t think I’m imagining that. Wasn’t she just supposed to storm thru California like Sherman thru the South. And wasn’t Bill attacking Obama from California when she spent that short time in South Carolina…you know right before her major loss. Didn’t she desert South Carolina to go on to California to “secure” all those delegates.
No, really I don’t think it’s just me. I think they are scared to death.

The Clintons should step off this race, they are in the way to reaching the American Dream, Sen.Obama is changing America and the world already, are all of those Clintons’fans blind and deaf or in which planet do they live??

Hillary will be the Democratic candidate–McCain will win the election, and once again the Democrats will lose the Presidency because of the Clintons. Remember 2000?
Were it not for the Clinton’s shennanigans during their first 2 terms, millions of Independents would have voted for Gore. He, unfortunately, had to take the fall for the Clintons. At least this time, it will be the Clinton past that defeats them for their 3rd term. Why are we doing this??

We all have skeletons. Anyone who says they don’t is a liar. Obama didn’t have a platform until he copied Senator Clintons. He could barely speak to the crowd. During Bill Clintons administration our country was prosperous. How soon we do forget. What the matter? Afraid to have a woman in the White House. We are socially behind the world. Afraid of a woman! How pathetic of us.

The uptight male media refers to Obama’s campaign and Clinton’s roadshow. Intelligent americans can see the fear in their uptight, pinched, bloated faces.
