Is Obama McGovern? Are Clinton's Negatives 'All Out There'?

I am a rural, small-town American. I’m not bitter. I don’t carry a gun but I do believe in the Holy Bible and God.

Hillary won in Pennsylvania, despite being outspent by Obama's “mega bucks” and bombardment on TV, radio, internet ads, phone calls, etc., etc., because we believe Hillary to be the better candidate --- pure and simple. True Americans cannot be bought!

Hillary was GREAT in the Pennsylvania debate --- Obama did quite poorly.

OBAMA HAS REFUSED TO DEBATE IN NORTH CAROLINA. He apparently can only read a pretty scripted speech from a teleprompter --- And he wants to run our country??? NO WAY!

Does he plan to have Jeremiah Wright spewing “God Damn America” from the White House? It’s bad enough he did it in a church of God.

Are Obama’s frequent visitors going to be their anti-American, terrorist friends: bomber Ayers, Farrakhan, Rezko, among others?

We need someone to show respect to ALL Americans, regardless of where they live.

GOD BLESS AMERICA --- HILLARY 2008!

again,
to make the point for the general election and the person winning the larger states. in the general election the delegates are doled out as winner-take-all, not proportionally as in the primary. if you go back and add the total delegates for each state to the candidate with the most vates in that state(without super delegates) it comes out something like:

hillary 1800+ delegates

bho 1100+ delegates.

so, who will do better in the general election??????????

dl,

The Superdelegates don't want to end this now, as much as you think. They get 'goodies' from the candidates. Obama has spent three times as much as Hillary has on Superdelegates.

So, it isn't in their best interests to come out now, but rather wait until the country has spoken. They have to get re-elected as well, so it would be stupid to come out against Hillary if their district actually votes for.

This ruse that Superdelegates are going to shoot themselves in the foot is being spewed by people who don't understand the process.

Or who are trying to help Obama and his typical campaign tactic of clearing the rolls for himself.

dl,
much of your vitriole is mute as, hard to believe from you and many others, hillary is running, not "the clintons". Most the things you mention are bill's issues. I do know my politics! why don't you try googling the acccomplishments of the clinton years and just see how long the list is.
then, if you to just talk issues, and you choose to lump the "clintons" together, try to come up with even 5 sSIGNIFICANT things bho has down.
You are blinded by your hate for the clintons, and your blind adoration of an empty vessel.

dl,

Obama has been messing with rules all over the country too.

Blame one but not the other...doesn't fly with me.

Hillary has never sued other Democratic candidates completely off of the rolls however.

That is subverting choice and democracy, like it or not.

dl,

As much as you want to pretend they didn't the Clintons tried to implement their campaign promises.

The first hundred days they went into office they went through the govt and took out wasteful duplicate govt programs saving huge amounts of tax dollars. His wife tried to get her health care package through and despite the fact that she couldn't, a lot of people made it clear that they wouldn't help a First Lady make any policy changes. However, they still tried to fix what was clearly broken, the health care industry, last century.

He went through and worked with Republicans on the needed welfare reform and his policies help raise incomes $7000.

Clinton helped stablize Mexico and their peso and helped Russia as well.

Peace and prosperity...it was so horrible...lol

Those are just off the top of my head.

I believe it is the Hunt Commission, of which Geraldine Ferraro was a made a member for some reason, presumably due to her stature. We agree that the unpledged delegates have a right to vote for whomever they wish. My point is that intimidation and threats are counter-productive, and both candidates should be encouraged to take and answer all questions put to them. That way, the unpledged delegates will be better informed. No one need take my advice.

and pp ...they spent more than that and they did get something...and once they had that that is what they focused on ...the clinton scandals are not, as much as Hillary supporters keep pretending they are, ...they are not all wrapped up with happy endings, answers and bows. In fact very few of them are.

and actually you probably don't even know your caniddate to know what all the scandals are...you might want to find out...

becasue most of America doesn't knowthem either outside of the word "whitewater" something about cattlefutures...and oh yeah that Monica stuff that went on...

that is three in a list of 50, 60?...more... and they deal with a lot of differing shady issues, ethics problems from every corner and more "coincidences" than you have ever seen from 2 people. These are people that have been caught lying from everywhere on the stand to the tv to each other.

They do not have a chance of bringing that back to the whitehouse.

pp "where is the money from"?

You are kidding...you are asking that about Obama...lol did you realize that your candidate is Hillary (and her husband let me fly around the world with some really bad leaders and get them things to have them help me) ...the woman who has not released LAST years tax returns or anything from the Clinton Library...

we hav eno idea what very large strings the Clintons have set up...and the way they are campaigning ...that they have to have this... might just be , don't ya think, that they promised some pretty hefty favors and if they don't win someheads may roll.

Obama donor questions you are funny Hillary person... pshaw.

etch....
bho would be swift boated from"sea to shining sea," if the nominee. but it would not matter since 1/4 or more of hillary supporters will vote mccain instead of bho, anyway.

All of Hillary's baggage are not out there. Obama could run ads about Whitewater, or "I chose not to cook", or her sitting at Walmart meetings during Union bashing, clapping with approval, or Travelgate, or stealing stuff from the WHitehouse on the way out the door, or the pardons-for-money scandal... the list GOES ON.

People know about these things, but Obama graciously has not reminded people of these things. A few ads reliving the mess of the 90s... the losing Congress to Republicans, the IMPEACHMENT trial, the disbarred former president coaching Hillary. There is more and more and more.

If you think Republicans won't run on this stuff, you're crazy. It's one thing to say people are aware of her baggage, but the public has not been reminded of these things lately. Maybe it should...

Hillary at this point is either

1. just dumb and selfish because there is no way she can win. (and you are right about McCain going after the ad and taking the high road...Hillary will never win)

2.smart and selfish because she wants to trach the party, the country her rivals thinking she will run again in 2012...you know after things get worse with the economy because we will still be in a war and Roe vs. Wade is overturned by McCain...

because as I said you can not name me one time where the Clintons had the choice between doing the right thing for the country and doing the right thing for themselves ...where they chose the country over themselves.

yes, dl, it worries me alot! we are talking known acquantences with terrorists in this country, having them fundraise for you(where is the money from), and even being on your website with your wife as a "friend" of the terrorist!
Starr and his group spent years and 40 million dollars looking for something to get the clintons on. they did not. that is far more investigation in to shadiness then we will ever get about obama, et al.

LA,

I look at all of the candidates equally, and was raised that it was our civic duty to do so without taking into account their party affliation or anything else.

I don't expect to change anyone's view on Obama especially when it is clear they haven't looked into him.

However, there are a lot of people out there who are new to watching this political game. If I can inspire any of them to do research on ALL of the candidates then that is a good thing.

The fact of the matter, even looking into Clinton's scandals of the past can help people decide what is a valid scandal in Obama's background, or Dubya's, or Bush 41, Reagan, etc.

If you actually pay attention and read through boring govt documents, and the odd sentence out of a newspaper, while staying on top of the results, you can start to even predict what will happen despite what is coming out of the candidate's mouths.

When Dubya ran on no nation building, it was clear he was lying when he surrounded himself with PNAC members, that Iraq would be in his crosshairs despite campaign promises. Within a few short weeks he confirmed my prediction and lobbed cruise missles at Saddam telling him that Dubya was coming for him.

You might not understand that type of commitment to watching these people, but like I said it is our civic duty to research and pay attention past what the favorite cable network, or newspaper, or political party, is trying to pass off on Americans.

What you see as 'transparent and disingenuous' is a lifelong, family tradition of taking our civic duty seriously. You should know, I usually hang out in political debate forums and trade ideas with people from all sorts of backgrounds. This is actually the first blog I've posted on that isn't diverse with opinions but mostly focused on one party.

Sorry but I view the spreading information as helping others find a place to start their own research. Not as a way to change someone's mind.

John McCain just pulled a negative campaign ad against Obama because wants to run a "clean" campaign! Can you imagine what happens if Clinton wins the nomination, and in facing McCain she comes off as the negative campaigner, and McCain as the positive campaigner?? We will have democrats abandoning us in droves to join McCain!! McCain is not stupid, and he saw the power of Positive campaigning when its done right by Obama. The clintons can't help but be aggressive and negative, and the result will be that he will "obliterate" her(to quote her recent sickening comments on Iran).

pp are you concerned with Maggie Williams cleaning Vince Foster's office the day after his suicide ...before nay investigation could happen and it was not her job and the only person who approved of it ..was HIllary.

shall we start there and go down the lists...

If you think we should look into these things shouldn't we hear these from the candidates mouths...because Hillary hasn'tbeen asked a single question about any of those questionable relationships and returned funds and fines and investigations and censures and fund raiser (MrHsu...Mr. paul)...I mean what was she doing with those men...okay they are bad men and she was fined... but what was she doing hanging out with them?

"should we be concerned?"

I personally want to hear more about the issues that are taking food off the table...and issues of our relationship and image in the world as more people are going hungry and with our image becoming more and more of that of an imperialist country... what that is going to do to terrorist numbers?

or how she sees similarities in using an arms race tacticwit Iran (a country that unlike Russia and reagan where they had massive amounts of warheads they could not keep up with...Iran does not have nuclear weapons but there is one sure quick way to help them get them...threaten them with obliteration by nuclear weapons)

but if you would like to focus on the candidates possible "shady dealing" sure...lets start with the ones that we know there already is investigations or fines or lawsuits with...where the candidate was the defense.

to make the point for the general election and the person winning the larger states. in the general election the delegates are doled out as winner-take-all, not proportionally as in the primary. if you go back and add the total delegates for each state to the candidate with the most vates in that state(without super delegates) it comes out something like:

hillary 1800+ delegates

bho 1100+ delegates.

so, who will do better in the general election??????????

Obama's taking a day off. Maybe Mrs. Obama will make him withdraw.

ABOUT FLORIDA:

THE ONLY DEMOCRAT TO CAMPAIGN THERE ..ALBEIT HE CLAIMS IT WAS "BY ACCIDENT".. WAS OBAMA..

... AND YET.... DESPITE HER 'NEGATIVISM'... HILLARY WON!

GO FIGURE!

Hillary can't win. Period. Veep is the best solution.
