Clinton trying to be heard amid McCain, Obama

Why would we want a stupid woman for our leader? Chris Matthews said he hated Hillary and she was elected Senator not because she was smart but because her husband had an affair. So you see, Chris Matthews said she was just a stupid woman so why should we elect a woman? Women can't lead, they aren't smart enough. men are smarter, Obama is winning because he is superior to women.

on Iraq...

McCain = success + many more lives lost

Hillary = success, but not the way Republicans define it + fewer lives lost

Obama = ?

I dont have confidence in Obama's foreign policy experience.... there just isnt any.

Why is she still in the race?

I am so surprised she is not in the lead. People do not stop to really listen and comprehend the issues at stake. They just blindly are choosing a candidate most likely based on appearance and demeanor alone. She is by far the most knowledgable and wiser of the two democratic nominees, but some $$ force has slanted America's future in a tainted direction.

Personally Hilary comes across as an old type patronage dispensing machine politician. From her Christmas ad where she was preparing the "gifts" she was going to give us, to her current "I try to help somebody every day", the message comes across as patronizing and with a note of "I'm better than you, but I do feel your pain."
Obama's call is not to have things done for us, but to participate in working together to get the job done. Very reminiscent of JFK's "Ask not..." speech.
Each has one lifetime of accumulated experience and experiences. A large part of Hilary's were involved in personal enrichment, and failed attempts at getting things done.
Needles to say I (63 year old, white Protestant, college educated, Texan) am actively supporting and working for Obama.

Senator Clinton is so obviously the better of the two candidates in the race for the Democratic Party Nominee. Unfortunately, sexism is probably more pervasive in this country than racism (see first comment above). It was on display at last night's debate-there she was sitting among three men- it seemed she was debating all three of them!
When Obama Spring Fever subsides and we face a sobering November- the Dems might recklessly lose the best shot they have of getting the White House back. The Jr. Senator from Illinois has not been properly vetted- and the Republicans are going to have a field day with him.

I'm glad Hillary is in the race. On style Obama wins but on substance Hillary wins. Obama is a light weigh while Hillary has experience and a deep understanding of the issues. Obama appeals to people who don't want to think and just want to be inspired. Hillary appeals to people who understand that America faces many challenges and we need a leader who understands the issues in both a practical and intellectual way. Obama is the Affirmative Action candidate. Hopefully, America comes to its senses soon and elects Hillary.

Chris Matthews is the most stupid person in the whole world. Men and woman are equal. If men can do it, women can do it. I can't stand him. So arrogant.

Honestly Hillary, please step out of the race already. It's clearly over...

Hillary is a woman of courage, poise, intellect, and has what it takes to be President.
We women need to get behind her. Stop all this post-feminist nonsense.
Let's get her elected. Stop the good ole boys club. We know she is more than qualified.
Kennedy and his clan have no sense of loyalty.... It's disgraceful that they would abandon her, and get behind that empty suit called Obama.

No one is listening to the Democrat equivalent of Mike Huckabee. This thing is over. Billary has gone through 4-5 different personalities in the last week alone. I did like her line last night of "I'll release my tax records when I'm the nominee....before I'm the nominee". I, for one, am waiting. I would LOVE to see Billary's tax returns, just to confirm how she relates so strongly to us yocals. Especially when she donates 5 MILLION to her own campaign.

See you in '16 Hillary

Go Hillary!
I am afraid of Obama of his NO experience. That is really Scary.

If Hillary ran a government like she ran her campaign we could just expect Bush as usual. She hires her cronies, recklessly spends all her donors money and hides her records so we don't really know what her "experience is".
Americans are waking up.

yeah, whaterver. shame on you the media and the public for portraying Obama as the king and Hillary as the shrew. As a woman I am totally turned off by how this campaign turned out to be. There has been so much gender discrimination nationwide in the media and how the public spoke about Hillary compared to how people spoke about Obama.
this makes me believe that America is still not ready for a woman president and shows how still women are viewed as shrews and not worthy.
I am totally turned off by how badly the media together with the public portrayed Hillary in the last few months. shame on you for not being fair and equal towards the genders. this happens all the time in daily life, women are viewed as shrews and mean, and unqualified, and men as capable and totally qualified to do the work. of course with the help of the media Obama is going to win. and who works in the media?? the majority of men work in the media and obviously they will write all these articles how they see the world and men aout there still see the world as men totally capable of doing the job and women as being as unfit and mean, and angry.

No you are wrong "Hillary All the Way",

McCain = Disaster + many lives lost
Hillary = Fight between Democrats and Republicans, nothing gets done then disaster and many lives lost (Perhaps Iraqis lives not Americans)

Obama = Good Judgment, immediate decision, very few lives lost

Just a comment to those mentioning Obama has no experience.

1) Obama has more experience as elected official than Hillary

2) If win on november, Obama would have more or equal experience in public office than any president since 1075 with the exception of two Bush.

3) Hillary's main relevant experience that is different than Obama is the time she was in White house. Fore everything else, Obama has similar or better experience.

4) Hillary's main responsibility at White house (At least anything that was not hidden at the time) was a- Universal health plan (failed) b- Appointing Judges (very bad experience - one of the most conservative judge ever appointed by a Democrat) c- Children Health Plan (Success) 4) Womens Right (Success)

CORRECTION OF TYPO:

2) If win on november, Obama would have more or equal experience in public office than any president since 1976 with the exception of two Bush.

Which part of Obama's speeches contain a plan on including his supporters to get anything done? He managed to rally up hatred against anyone in his path, but that's not bringing people together. Enough with the Iraq thing; Hillary now has a plan to bring home the troops. As far as NAFTA's concerned, Obama used old politics of negatively attacking Clinton when it turns out that he also publicing endorsing NAFTA in 2004. Old dirty politics of his also is falsely accusing Clinton of making people buy health insurance even when they can't afford it, deceptively implying that she wasn't going to give subsidies. Her plan does provide government subdies for low income people. Then, he insisted that he's right, instead of apologizing. Didn't his wife said he's someone who is willing to admit making a mistake (implying 'unlike clinton')? If he behaves no better and still proclaims himself better, it doesn't just make him a hypocrite, it makes him a bigger liar, a worse politician. It doesn't matter whether you are 63 years old, a college student, a high-income earner, a college degree holder or whatever group you're in, it's important to make your judgment based on facts (not just sliced and spliced snippets from the media) and issues, and not be exploited by politicians' emotional manipulations.

The reason people are not voting for Hillary is because she's not honest, not because she's a woman. If she were a tough candidate, like a Margaret Thatcher per se, that sticks to her guns the case might be different. Instead she flip-flops around on the issues and always manages to be in favor of what the polls say are popular, thats not leadership it's pandering.

How many of you voted for Bill Clinton in 92 when he was a nearly unknown governor of a small state, Arkansas, also he was elected president over a sitting president who had just led america thru a decisive war in Iraq. This is why the experience argument doesn't make sense, are we to believe Hillary has more experience than a sitting president. For her to use experience as the reason for us to vote for her was ridiculous when her own husband proved that wasnt the most important thing americans look for in a president. Let's face it her candidacy crashed off the road because she doesn't know how to drive.

And she's trying to withhold those White House years of "experience".

To those who think Hillary's "experience" gives her better judgment, think again. It was Obama whose judgment saw through the scam that was GW and Cheney's run up to an unjust war on an enemy that did not exist. A "war" that took the eye off the ball of the man responsible for 9/11. Bin Laden is STILL out there, mocking us, laughing, plotting, b/c GW is "really not that concerned about him." HILLARY voted FOR the war. And she is so clouded by her own arrogance that she cannot, as Edwards did, at least admit she was duped ant her vote war a regrettable mistake. Her mentality is aligned with GW if her policies are not. That her arrogance will never allow her to admit to a mistake so she will never learn from them. Obama showed more good astute judgment than Hillary ever has with hi s NO vote on the war. Imagine where we would be now if other senators and congressmen and women had voted as Obama had? We'd have focused on bin laden and gotten him by now. I can't wait for Obama to get in there and go after the man behind 9/11. Hillary's too interested in her own self promotion to even BE herself. Always has her finger in the wind. Well, that finger is about to get cut clean off....

"fool me once"

you said it!

I hope Hilary does not win Texas or Ohio because she is not an honest person.

Something great is happening in America and that is Barack Obama.

And l ask?: would you rather not be part of this historical moment for a better America than be an except? I for one l'm part of it and l feel good and see a brighter America under president Barack Obama.

It's scary that the Obarama Love-in threatens to bring to power a warmonger like McCain.

"Precious Obama" (as Lou Dobss CNN called him) has been spoiled by the media fawning all over Him for no clear reason, or policy substance, other than He alone represents "Change". The sexist, biased media may be right after all. His unwise nomination will certainly bring CHANGE: ANOTHER REPUBLICAN CATASTROPHE... Everyone in the monolithic corporate-owned media is promoting His Hopeness as their bosses know that He is the true light weight in the ring. It's Hillary, the resilient heavy-weight they're afraid of, and they really want her out of the race before their bias is regulated! The republicans have a Plan. Obama has a Dream. And Hillary has the long-term strategy for a successful recovery.

Sen. Clinton's UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE is similar to the successful Canadian national plan that has covered every man, woman and child since 1965--and offers foreign manufacturers the choice of a distinct advantage of a healthy, well-educated workforce over starting a plant in the U.S. with expensive medical insurance-backed plans that cut into their profits. The Japanese chose McGuinty's Ontario over Texas for their new Honda plants recently! [And women's equal opportunity rights are Constitutionally protected since '81--unlike aborted ERA.] Hillary's the smartest, toughest, most competent and qualified candidate. The republicans know this.

Americans have not been made aware by the media, yet, that...VOTING for HILLARY is the best thing for AMERICA'S MANUFACTURING and WORK FORCE. 'Precious Obama's" anorexic resume will be torn to shreds by the repugnants in no time and medical bills will continue to be the major cause of Bankruptcies in America. Shame...

So, just how long will the line-up be for filing IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS for Canada post-November '08?! Good Luck....

Senator Clinton has been trumpeting the "all talk no action" claim against Obama so long that some may actually believe there is some substance there. But the reality is a matter of public record.

First, what has the lady Senator from New York accomplished?

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term - 6yrs. - and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law - 20 - twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.

These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you.

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton's bills are, more substantive.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

There you have it, the fact's straight from the Senate Record.

Now, I would post those of Obama's, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize.

During the first - 8 - eight years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced

233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veteran's affairs and many others.

His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These inculded the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 - became law, The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, - became law, The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, - became law, The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.

In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.

So, if you disagree with his actions, that is an honorable choice and one that is worthy of debate, but, if you just parrot the "all talk - no action" line, it would appear you are probably pointing your argument at the wrong target.
