...that Edwards voted for the warlike Hillary, BUT: big thing--he apologized for it, which is nice BUT doesn't change the fact that with HIS vote, we were able to have near 4000 americans killed and 25,000 seriously wounded. So with his "apology" he now can play the "Holier Than Thou" card.
I happen to appreciate Edwards economic take on saving the middle class from wished-for serfdom of the R's. But his desperate attacks on Hillary seem like a little boy who couldn't get his way since he already popped the cork himself.
Obama comes out of the same school. He keeps playing his violin with one string: i am also Holier Than Thou as an anti-war guy...as seemingly contrasted with Hillary. BUT, did Obama get subjected to the same "inside" INTEL INFO that was deceived via thye White House. So, she, along with PLENTY other Dems voted to give W the authority to go to (negotiate) a non-war conclusion to the issues. That Bush further deceived the whole country is beside the point??
If so, then we should "dis-elect" all the Dem senators who voted with Hillary?
Further, please awaken to the complete loss of his anti-war status when he said that the US should invade Pakistan to get Bin Laden. Remember? Or do you just gloss that over??
Invading Pakistan would set the stage for a Muslim-sponsored overthrow of the Pakistan govt. concluding with the radical muslims THEN possessing nuclear weaponry!!!
Anti-war? Hardly. Terrible judgment!! WE can't afford loose talk and proposed military action that not only kills our soldiers, but also gives the radical muslims an advantage they could only dream of!
The problem I have with the Anti-Hillaries is that they dso not appreciate ther fact that she is a lot smarter (best command of all the issues) and politically savvy...she WINS elections!! And more cajones than all the others put together.No failure of quick response to "Swift-Boating" here.
I find it laughable that Hillary is the subject of continuing Republican attacks, yet Uber-Lefties would join them in hysterical criticism. Like forming a circluar firing squad for our candidates! NOT LEFTY ENOUGH!!? Ha!
I fear/detect a concern among MEN here (I am one) that a WOMAN could be our country's leader. Check your "cup." Everything will still be there after she is elected.
..by him that we all heard during one debate.
He said he'd seriously consider INVADING PAKISTAN as president in order to try to capture Bin Laden!
So...this "anti-war" candidate calls for another US invasion! And, he has no idea that in Pakistan right now, they have THE BOMB, and keeping that out of the hands of the ambitious Muslim radicals in the country who have been chaffing at the bit for an opportunity to foment a takeover of Pakistan and their BOMB.Right now, the country teeterson a razor's edge. Our invasion would assure that the Radicals' takeover would happen.
That is why the US remains a supporter of Pakistan despite the fact that it is far from a democracy, because to lose the bomb to the radicals is completely unacceptable.
When Obama said that, and since I knew about Pakistan...I was horrified! If THAT isn't saber=rattling, I don't know the meaning of the term (I do).
This man plainly lacks the depth of experience and ultimate perceptions that the thought of his becoming president scares the hell out of mew!
It is always easier to call a person names than to engage in discussion. "Liar" and "Stupid"?
For that reason alone, I consider you to be unworthy to discuss ANYTHING withme.
You are unworthy!
You emulaTE the right wing tactics of Rush and O'Reilly so I'd dismiss you immediately as another righty blowhard.
P.S. Incidentally, Clinton DID disagree with Obama's war screed on Pakistan.You need to "intelligently" look it up! Disgusting person...Rush, Jr!
Hillary is all about WINNING the presidency!
Obama has to prove his competency in light of his limited/short political experience.
His dangerous incompetency was shown when he proposed that we INVADE Pakistan to get Osama Bin Laden. This when Pakistan owns THE BOMB and the internal Muslim radicals have been waging a political war to take over Pakistan and thus come into possession of THE BOMB.
For years, Pakistan through its less than democratic heads of state has been waiting for just an opportunity to incite the internal takeover that is just waiting to happen.
Obama's thought processes are dangerous; his "foreign policy" reeks of political opportunism, for PR, and to show how "tough" but undermine any hopes for growing peace for war throughout the world.
Obama also has joined thev Republicans'campaign on behalf of the insurance industry to limit monetary damages for victims injured in accidents. Republican light!! PRAISE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES...and prevent traditional compensation to people victims because the insurance companies would rather...make more profits. As in....health care, also.
Obama=NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME!! At least, not as a Democrat! However, as a Republican.....war loving, people dismissing...as above.
Obama?? Nyet!
