Political Punch

Give it up, Hillary. We good-ole-boys here in North Carolina weren't fooled one bit by those speeches you gave from the bed of a pickup truck. We aren't as gullible as you think. We know that people who raked in 100 million in eight years aren't the kind who drive around in pickups or have friends who do. As Lincoln put it: "You can't fool all of the people all of the time. So give it up. You and your de facto running mate, husband Bill, have run out of tricks.

Actually Mandela was released from Victor Verster prison near Paarl, rather than Pollsmoor, which is down past Constantia. The house he stayed in at Victor Verster is the model for his home at Qunu.

And I can't imagine Hillary Clinton being willing to give up her life for anything. Or Bill for that matter. They're like spoiled children in comparison to Mandela.

Bill Bradley has called on Clintons to release donor list to clinton Library. How this relates to S. Africa? Bill Clinton sold a pardon to Marc Rich. Rich fueled the aparthied gov of S. Africa in defiance of Antiapartheid Act, oil embargo, and international sanctions.

Nelson Mandela supports Barack Obama.

That is interesting. Let's say we gave Bill Clinton a mission to be faithful and true to one single person for the rest of his life. Would he pick Hill without thinking twice? Ooops too late, we already know the answer to that one-Monica, et al...

I am not American, but I just stumbled to this site and I am absolutely apalled and disgusted that Bill would sink so low to potray Hillary as tougher than Mandela. Its an insult to Mandela. The man spend 27 years in jail, with hard labour, left two little girls who grew into womahood in his absence. And during apartheid, jail was not easy, there was torture and endless tough interrogations. I cannot even begin to compare Hillary to Martin Luther King. I expected people to protest these statements. Hillary tougher than Mandela!! Gimme a break!! Americans please wake up, the Clintons feel they deserve to King and Queen of USA and will smear everyone in their path.

I respect Mandela and Rabin, for what they have contribute to the social. I dont think that i gonna vote for Mrs. Clinton just because her husband raise her above 2 those well-known names. However, as a husband, I will do the same as Mr. Clinton did, I will raise my wife above any hero I ever known of. The sacrifice of a lifetime is always a great contribute. Without the sacrifice of your women, either your wife or your mom, I don’t think you guy would be sitting here on this blog to sing about your bumpy politic knowledge.

FOLKS,CHANGE CAN NEVER COME FROM AN INSIDER AS I UNDERSTAND CHANGE IS THE KEY WORD IN THIS ELECTION..VOTE FOR OBAMA AND YOU WILL SEE THE REAL CHANGE,TALKING OF EXPERIENCE,THERE ARE MANY CANDIDATES THAT HAS IT MORE THAN CLINTON.BILL,YOU TRIED FOR YOUR COUNTRY AND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE DURING YOUR TERM.NO MATTER WHAT,THERE IS STILL DIFFERENT B/W U & HILLARY...SAY THE TRUTH,YOU KNOW THE STUFF IN BARRACK OBAMA.

Nelson Mandela had the people behind him because of the Sharpeville massacre, not because he moved to NY where these was open Senate seat. She wouldn't go to prison without a housewarming party that included registering for $600.00 gravy boats. Gravy boats? Do the people making minimum wage get to register for gravy boats? No, so that is why some of them don't register to vote.

Hey, Genius--Hillary won in New Hampshire. So much for your insight.

Anyone who hates the Clintons simply doesn't see the bigger picture. During their terms, Americans had money in their pockets, more freedom (Republicans are responsible for Patriot Act, trying to ban women's and gay rights), and we had the respect of the world. They did alot for diplomatic relations, and if you ever travel overseas, you'll understand exactly what I mean.

That is the most self-serving ignorant comment I have ever heard. The audacity to compare his wife to someone who has done more for humanity than many people in the entire world. America needs to wake up and realize that they are not really concerned about the American people but pushing there own agenda. I am very surprised and disappointed and Bill Clinton. I thought he respected the civil rights movements more than that. Hillary would NEVER stay in jail for 27 years in order to further civil rights for others. She is a privileged white woman that probably never "suffered" a day in her life.

Jake, while your commentary may be correct on some level,it is not really helpful to anyone. I've known many women in my lifetime, who through the selfless giving to their children, husbands, and households, have exemplified tremendous courage, persistence, and resolve. I'm a man, an athlete, and a former Marine Reservist, yet I'm not uncomfortable with comparing the great sacrifices average women have made to the accomplishments of "great men." Like the Clintons or not, with all they have been through, she is person of great resolve. She seems to have done a great job with Chelsea as well, and if you have children, you should be able to appreciate that for what it is worth. There might be glory in war, but winning our everyday battles takes just as much courage.

God help us all if a woman becomes president! they think with emotion not logic! And she is a crook to boot! remember Whitwater folks??

I will caucus for Bill Richardson. The fact is he is the most experienced. Experienced at both state and federal levels. The others are one or two term senators or the wife of an elected official. By the way, I am a woman,registered Democrat, evangelical Christian who would vote for Huckabee if he wins the nomination.

Just which candidate shead tears while HE spoke of our fallen soldiers and then dared to compare his sons working towards HIS campagne as equal service for AMERICA? Was it a "GENDER-SLAYER" comment to say,"it took one MAN to get us into this and it will take one MAN to get us out" or am I being too sinsative? We need a president that has never made spiritual commitment to hold ANY country first....unless it be MY AMERICA! "Got it now people"? Who did you run to when you fell off your bike,skinned you knee? Who washed your wound and safely sealed it from further harm? Who drove to the store,shopped for your clothing,medications,cooked your meals,dressed you for school and listened to your needs,wants and desires? Who read you a story or tucked you safely to bed just to do it again in the morning? You were as dependant then as you are now.You need a strong government, always.You men,you know well the times that you ran to a woman to save you.Did she take over where your mother left off? Who prepared you to face today?Who is preparing your supper? Are there any single parent raised people out there? I'll spare you the obvious statistics.You women, drive to the store in the vehicle registered to you and purchase a cigar or cigarette or what ever you want,after all its your money.....AFTER ALL!!Now, think about what it would be like if you had never been graced with the freedom and liberty to do these things as though you were inferior mentally or something,go figure.Take the time to validate all that you have been told and take the time to find the "VERIFIABLE" shortcommings and deseption of "every candidate".Some will unroll with ease and some much harder.Surely one will come clean.Now,with earned and faught for privailage,equality and education,cast your vote.No matter who you are, take the time out of your busy days to become educated in the truth.I find it easier to verify truth when I search for the undesirable.A great process of ellimenation. So we must count on each other to do this with great focus. Im asking you to do this because I love our soil,our air,our water,our trees and my freedom to be.Give a hug away today. Sew A Good Seed; FOR TOMARROW.

Hillary is the right choice. She is the president we need.
She knows how to deal with tough choices. She kept Bill in place after cheating. Easy choice would have been to throw him out but she didn't. She knows her prioroties in life. She kept the family strong. Bill is forever grateful to her and now trully appreciates the inner bueaty of this woman who made a promise to him when she tied the knot and kept it through. She know what this country needs now and if given the opportunity she will revive the glory of the yesterday and once again unite the naiton from falling apart. She is a tough woman. She is the change we need. Changing different colors of pants everyday is not change. Put on a skirt and run. That's change!

To be honest, it is not as if Mandela had a choice to sit in jail for 27 years..! No option, he just had to sit. Does this make him tenacious? I don't think so! Rabin did not win the 6 day war, his brilliant General Moshe Dian did together with the best trained Tank Corps the world has ever seen... Hillary is a tough cookie. She will see this through. Bill is unfortunately right.

First Bill, for whom I have the utmost respect, comppares Hillary to mandela and rabin and just when you think you haven't heard the rest, Hillary totally minimizes the work of Martin Luther king (MLK) in the passing of the civil rights act.

Instead, she gives all the credit to LBJ, who, don't get me wrong, deserves credit. How can we forget that it was MLK who led the marches and strikes that resulted in the passage? It is this arrogance that we don't want in America. Enough, already, Hillary.

Yesterday's gone, yesterday's gone. We will not stop talking about tomorrow! That is Obama for us.
