[Read the article: What should Hillary Clinton do now?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]If Hillary wants to ring up a 25 million dollar debt, I say fine, cos Bill and Hill's million dollar assets, are to the tune of one hundred and nine times
But now she wants Obama to pay her debts, from all our money nonetheless. Now she wants to be his VP after she floated the rude concept of having Obama as her VP, as she touted McCain as CIC on day one and Obama was already ahead of her in delegates and popular votes. This is not a dream ticket but an albatross round Obama's neck. The woman has a negative ratings in the polls that would put Richard Nixon and George Bush to shame.
I have never seen anyone as quixotic as Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband. These chameleons are really something in the way they have kept changing the rules, conning the people this way and that, from bitter to elite mudslingings, from making hay with the Wright contraversy while her choice in staying with her philandering husband was off commentary. I hope she is having a good mother's day.
Off to my brood now to love and be loved. All, have a happy mother's day.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]With your permission I will forward this on to the Obama campaign. You have put together a great list for Obama bashing. I am sure that the McCain campaign will happily borrow from this list, but we can beat them at this game with much humor.

[Read the article: McCain campaign baits Obama on Clinton slurs]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Who said, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"?
This eloquent defense of tolerance and freedom of speech is widely attributed to the French writer Voltaire, that master of liberal philosophy renowned for his satirical wit. His tolerant religious and political beliefs were in sharp opposition to established views, and his biting commentaries twice led to his imprisonment, and eventually, to his exile to England.
But the fact of the matter is, Voltaire didn't pen or utter the sentiment. It comes from The Friends of Voltaire, written by Evelyn Beatrice Hall and published in 1906 under the pseudonym Stephen G. Tallentyre. Hall said that she paraphrased Voltaire's words in his "Treatise on Toleration."
Sticks and stones and all that......

[Read the article: Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All I can say is that I believe if they can not come up with something that will destroy Mr. Obama, be careful be very careful because I believe they will definitely TRY do ANTTHING, ANYTHING to steal the Dem nomination! They will! you can count on that
I think we can all breath easy that Hillary will not be allowed to "steal" the nomination. That is simply not going to happen. Short of something extremely dramatic to completely kill Obama's chances, the Democratic Party cannot afford to lose their AA base and the youth vote. Hillary would then certainly lose to McCain. She does have a huge negative rating across demographic lines. Also, the backlash to the Democratic Party would be enormous. If that should happen, then the brighter side would be that the country will finally be open to a third party. And then again, maybe that is what Clinton is holding out on - to start a third party. Just speculating.

So Tom Payne has re-incarnated as jeffersonian? I thought as much.
What happened to W.E.S? I love his little zingers

[Read more letters about this article: Here]I agree with you that Ted Kennedy's personal life has been considerably flawed. But as blemished as he is, he has been one of the damnedest best senators this country has ever had.

Hillary Clinton
[Read the article: McCain Veepstakes]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]of course. She has been campaigning for him for quite sometime now. They can both "bomb, bomb, bomb" Iran or "obliterate Iran" and women Democrats who will most certainly not vote for Obama, can have a 100 years of war, overturned Roe v Wade, and gas at $15 a gallon. Hillary would have gone back to her republican roots, McCain would be too old for second term and she could be first woman POTUS.

The Fairness Doctrine
[Read the article: Poetry vs. fear]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]My hope is that Obama will reintroduce the Fairness Doctrine in the media from which will flow much poetry and less misinformation or no information.

[Read more letters about this article: Here]And yes, according to Anderson Cooper and CNN as of tonight, 50% of voters who cast a vote for Mrs. Clinton in Indiana WOULD NOT VOTE for OBAMA
I wish that people would drop the term Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama and just go with either Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama. I simply say this because Mrs Clinton still ties her to her husband's apron strings while Mr Obama is a man in his own right and so should Hillary be. What do you think PTG?

[Read the article: Hillary enters death-with-dignity phase]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just a quick note. Should Hillary have been the nominee, she would have a more insurmountable problem of winning the GE. For starters, the AA backlash would have eroded any chances she would have, because the nomination would have been perceived as strongarmed by loyalist party insiders than the Democratic vote. Secondly, Clinton has a huge huge negative rating in the electorate on points of trustworthiness as well as past Clinton era baggage. Thirdly, new young voters would leave the political scene altogether. Fourth and not the least, Hillary women who are indeed Democrats may be disappointed but eventually would vote for a Democrat, Obama. Would they really want 4 more years of Bush in McCain. There are women for Hillary who are Repubs. That number would vote for McCain anyway.

Experience = war in Iraq, a tanked economy and erosion of civil rights
[Read the article: Can Barack Obama win West Virginia?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]All those carping about experience. Look what experience brought us? A government centered around self centered politicians who have made themselves accountable to no one. In any other era, Bush and his administration would have been tried for war crimes.
