The title of the this article is misleading. This article is meant to be sensationist. You are more than suggesting that Bill is supporting McCain. GIVE ME A BREAK!

It's simple. The Clintons know now that the nomination is worse than worthless this time around after the acrimony they've created within the Democratic party. Too many staunch Democrats would stay home - nearly all blacks - and, losing to McCain, she would become a total pariah, worse than Nader. So they want Obama to have it but will take this time and opportunity to tear him down as much as possible so he loses. They then can come back in four years uncontested. This contest has made me sympathetic to the Republicans on one point - my feelings toward the Clintons.

Did anybody tell Bubba that McCain rates a 24 from the League of Conservation Voters (that's out of a hundred -- not too good); and fares even worse with other enviro groups? "Senior moment", Bill?

i used to be a strong supporter of hillary clinton. i donated the maximum to her campaign. now i don't think i could vote for her in good conscience.

on the flip side, the clintons made me realize obama's strenghts by comparison.

hillary and obama are similar on issues. McCain is the opposite - he wants us in iraq forever, wants to start new wars, wants the supreme court justices to be neoconservatives, prefers to support businesses over people.

bill's action will send more hillary supporters toward obama (like me) than to mccain.

From the article:
"He said McCain was on the right side of issues like being against torture of enemy combatants..."

Apperently all of you are missing something and so is Bill Clinton here just the past month John McCain voted against the banning of waterboarding used against American enemies, even though he agrees that torture is repugnant. This is a toatl hypocrisy and not exactly any sort of straight talk express, and Bill Clinton should know better. Also Bill is quoted as saying that McCain is moderate, now I understand that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton are every aware of John McCain voting record in the Senate but have they been listening to his campaign rhetoric? His position while on the campaign trail has been a focused effort trying to appease the far-right base and religious base in the Republican party. I agree that he has been somewhat moderate in the past but as a President if we are to take him at his words wei will be in Iraq indefinately, we will Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Iran(a third front in the war), and we will still be in Afghanistan! If you call this foreign policy expereince i would hate to think what he would do if we had to enforce a draft because that is the only way we could fight on three fronts! The military is stretched and is already using a back-door draft maneuver called Stop-loss for those enlisted that want to get out but can not due to this law that allows the president to do this to our brave men and women. You know it is a travesty that Republicans get as much support as they do from the military when they show so little regard for those who have given their life to serving and disagree then find themselves in a war or better fired for their disagreements (see Gen Fallon, Abaze etc)!

McCain is not moderate. Why is Bubba repeating the republican talking points? McCain is Bush's third term. Plain and simple. More death, more destruction, more recession, more people losing everything. Is he trying to get McCain elected? If there is any doubt in anyone's mind that they DO NOT CARE about the party, here is another example.

Will someone please tell me why he's doing this? Every time I think of McCain as president, I think of Ronald Regan at his daffiest. And God help us who he picks as his Vice-President, because he'll no doubt be prez within the first term.

The Clintons are just as much a thing of the past as McCain. Can you really imagine at least four more years of Bill and Hillary on the national stage? What exactly will his role be?

HRC cannot even manage her own presidential campaign. She and her team often contradict Bill and vice versa. She is broke and has to have billionaires write threatening letters for her.

She lost this campaign as much as Obama won it. If she can't win the primary how can she beat John McCain.

As for Bill, he is just jealous of Obama because he is does what he did, only better. Boo hoo.

Seems to me that McSame is the past as well. . .and he is in a hopeless position. He can't pander to the various crazy-butt ministers on the Religious Right and still be much of a "moderate." Bush was packaged that way too, and all we got was Pat Robertson on speed dial to the White House, the Terri Schiavo fiasco, and every right-wing nutcase running the country into the ground.

If that is Bill Clinton's idea of moderate, then we don't need them back in office, either.

D: It is only the people who were NEVER going to vote with Obama to begin with that continue to hold on to the Jeremiah Wright nonsense. Obama is running for president, Wright isn't. They are PLENTY of unsavory characters (including WRIGHT) that the Clintons has associated with over the years. Hillary and Obama are the candidates. Judge them on their own qualities, values, experience, and wisdom. Guilt by association is the lazy person's way out of thinking for themselves.

Those darn Clintons are always "mispeaking" He said "McCain was on the right side of issues like being against torture of enemy combatants" McCain even though he was tortured voted for torture recently when he had a chance to vote aganist it. But Bill must have been sleep deprived when he was speaking at this rally!

For eight years as president I supported Bill Clinton. I voted for him twice. I gave him money and I took a ton of beatings at dinner parties. PLEASE Bill. Shut the hell up! Your endorsement of John McCain feels as phony as "I did not have sex with that woman." All that was missing was the finger wagging.

The Clinton's are the Liebermans of 2008. Hillary will stay in the race to bloody Obama. That will give McCaine the win in the general election. The neoconservatives win with McCaine, or, with "centrist" Hillary. She will always "compromise" way to the right...

Since it became clear that Hillary cannot beat Barack Obama, the Clintons have been doing whatever they can to throw the election to McCain, opening the way for her to make another run in 2012. With his debauchery, Bill Clinton was responsible for the election of George W. Bush. Now it looks like he is going to be responsible for another Republican administration. The super delegates better wise up to this soon.

The Clintons recognize they can not get the nomination in 2008. They are trying to tear down Obama so McCain can win in 2008 and Hillary can run again in 2012.

How many times is Bill Clinton going to endorse McCain? Is he forgetting that McCain doesn't understand the most basic religious division in Iraq (Sunni and Shiite)? Or that McCain makes jokes about bombing Iran? That is not the sort of person who should answer the phone at 3 a.m. in the White House. Bill Clinton also seems to forget that McCain and the Republicans have no health care plan for America, and that McCain's economic policies would further hurt the middle and working class. It's hard to understand what Bill Clinton is doing.

On all key elements of foreign and economic policy, McCain is virtually identical to Bush. So why is Bill Clinton praising him as a moderate? He knows the nomination fight is lost, and wants a McCain victory so Hillary has a shot in 2012. It is Bill Clinton's ultimate perversion - he would sacrifice thousands more to wars in Iraq and Iran, and cause the economic suffering of millions in the US, to regain power for himself and his wife. Pathetic!

Bill will use his Presidential status to twist lots arms when the superdeligates come into play. It's imperative that we make it known to the superdeligates that the will of the voter is paramount in this process. Moveon.org might be the right vehicle for communicating this important message.
(NO BACK ROOM DEALS)

hm, funny, I remember McCain voting for the Military Commissions Act, which codifies the US' right to torture prisoners and detainees into law. McCain "opposes torture" only when there are cameras on. he believes more than any other candidate in recent memory in American exceptionalism. non-Americans can melt and die, be tortured, blown up and eradicated for all he cares. he's not a racist, he's an extremist nationalist, even more than Bush is.

didn't the moderate mccain vote for bill clintons impeachment, they should ask chelsa that question.
