Clinton Stresses Party Unity in Remarks, Addresses McCain Ad
August 25, 2008 12:16 PM
ABC News' Eloise Harper Reports: Sen. Hillary Clinton reassured the members of the New York delegation at the Democratic National Convention on Monday morning that her party is united -- saying the word "united" at least nine times during her remarks.
"Let there be no mistake about it," Clinton said. "We are united. We are united for change. We are, after all, Democrats, so it might take awhile. We're not the fall in line party -- we're diverse, many voices. But make no mistake, we are united. We are united on behalf of the Democratic party, the values we hold dear, the reason we work so hard in politics to make the changes that we know will matter in the lives of hard working Americans and for the future of our children. And we are united behind Barack Obama and Joe Biden and we are gong to make sure that we win on November 4th."
Clinton also responded directly to Sen. John McCain's ads, which say the Democratic Party is divided.
"I understand that the McCain campaign is running ads trying to divide us, and let me state what I think about their tactics and these ads," she said. "I'm Hillary Clinton and I do not approve of that message."
Before a cheering crowd, Clinton said, "We are gathered here in Denver for a very clear and simple purpose, and that is to come out of this convention energized, excited and ready to elect Barack Obama the next president of the United States."

Dear American Citizens and the mass media of U.S.A.
As a concerned disabled American Veteran and American citizen, I
consider it my duty and responsibility to bring following critical
characteristics of so called Maverick McCain to you for proving me
wrong or right.
"The citizens of the United States of America have the ultimate
responsibility to elect the " Right Candidate with the right
temperament" to lead our nation' to address our nations present and
future moral, democratic, economic, educational, health care, energy,
military, and foundational soul of our nation.
In my firm professional opinion that the media should help the common
voter to explore and discuss following attributes of Hon. Senator
McCain.
1. Does he have a calm, cool, and collected " temper " [ Presidential
Temperament ]?
2. Does he have a sound and sustained "Judgment and Caliber"?
3. Does he have a reveal a presidential "Thought-fullness and
togetherness" of purpose and positions?
4. Does he lot or little "ex-poser and exploitation" around
Washington"?
5. Does he poses enough " Vigor, wisdom and Vision " for our
Great-grand Nation?
6. Does he poses foreign policy exploit-es based on " American
Values, Virtuous, Vastness"?
7. Does his campaign talk. slogans and ads are based of facts and
free of fiction, deception, seduction, and attacks?
If your answer to the above questions is yes then recommend and vote
for him.
But in my professional. political, and personal opinion that vote is
against the common interests majority of American people, against the
world humanity, continuation of status qua and possibly dangerous
world order.
Long live U.S.A and its democratic people and their common sense.

It would be more believable if she would tell her husband and her aids to keep thy mouth shut.

Senator Obama has every right not to pick Hillary Clinton as his running mate, and I have every right not to vote for him. (Yeah, Obama cult members, keep telling yourself I'm just a "Republican in disguise." If you say it enough times, you might actually begin to believe it).
Posted by: Carrie | Aug 25, 2008 12:40:57 PM
About as believable as Biden's 180 degree on obama,.

The democratic party and members cannot affor another 4 years of the same, it will be suicidal to live 12 years of republican regime. God save America from McSame.

Awsome. I like that but, I fear even HRC can't some of her supporters in line because they are republicans anyway.

Obama’s choice of 3 a.m. to announce his choice of VP was so very high school. Just like his flipping Hillary off in a speech, or dusting imaginary dust off his suit when he talked about a debate in which she kicked his butt. I’ve seen candidates for high school student councils behave with more maturity than this. What would Obama do when a third world dictator blows off his “let’s just sit down and talk the issues to death” diplomacy? Flip him off? Or maybe he’ll just accuse him of being a racist.

I agree with Joe Biden. The Presidency does not lend itself to on the job training.
Posted by: Carrie | Aug 25, 2008 12:51:24 PM
Do Hillary supporters remember when a journalist asked Obama if he was worried about getting the support of Hillary supporters? His answer was: “Where else do they have to go?” I can answer that question, Barry. We have three places to go – vote Ralph Nader, stay at home, or vote John McCain.

Americans are independent by nature and freedom loving by birth. We tend to make our own decisions. Our form of government requires a few select others to represent us in making laws, but each of us individually make the decision of who we want to trust to do that representation. I respect Hillary as she attempts to convert her supporters over to Obama, but I for one have to say that I don't agree with her on this issue, and since on election day my one vote is equal to everyone else's one vote, I won't be casting mine for a Democrat for the first time in 32 years.

I agree with Hillary Clinton. John McCain has credentials in foreign affairs, and Barry Obama has a couple of lame speeches.
Posted by: Carrie | Aug 25, 2008 12:54:28 PM
I agree with John Edwards. Obama voted "present" all the time because he didn't want to take a stand on the issues, and have his positions come back to haunt him.
Posted by: Carrie | Aug 25, 2008 12:55:48 PM
Anyone who disrupts the Democratic Convention does NOT want a Democratic victory in November. It's not a matter of getting in "lock-step" as the Republicans always do. But any so-called Democrat who won't vote for Obama should have other choices and does. How about Nader or Barr or McCain for that matter? Go ahead, vote for whomever you wish, but you don't have a right to disrupt the convention--unless you want to play into Rush Limpig's game plan!!

Hillary Clinton is doing what she has to do...they are die hard democrats, but it is true, she got 18 million votes, and maybe more if Michigan and FL counted, Bidden got 9500 votes, I myself a Clinton supporter and now a former democrat think it is an insult that Clinton was not choosen as VP. Go McCain.

Sir, thank you. Neither I nor my brothers will forget the POW's that were left behind. McCain should bow his head in shame. We stand with our Iraq War Veterans.

So now Florida and Michigan delegates will be seated? What about the rules the Obama supporters demanded be respected?
Posted by: geevill | Aug 25, 2008 12:57:27 PM
Hey, Michelle! My soul's not broken, so I don't need to vote for your husband so he can fix it. BTW, shouldn't you worry about your own soul before you try to fix mine?
Posted by: Carrie | Aug 25, 2008 12:57:29 PM
Carrie, do you agree with McCain on the economy.
