    Thanks for pointing out the double standards in the hllary canpaign.

    I am appalled; simply incensed at gutter tactics used by hillary. Consider also:

    Who would diminish and ridicule a member of her own party, albeit her worthy opponent by elevating McCains experience and therefore touting her own two bit journeys into foreign lands as testament to her foreign policy experience. That would certainly be hillary, at her cacophonous best. Can you imagine a democrat forwarding the candidacy of a member of THE GOP that is so far behind on issues of women's rights, matter of fact rights of all people

    What, pray tell, IS her experience in foreign policy? Visa stamps in her passport? Did she negotiate anything or did she represent this country except for the women's conference in China, which let me tell you, other women were more credible in their fight for women's rights. Why is it that so many feminists are now voting for Obama?

    We want to vote the GOP out of office because of their fearmongering and their meanness in they way they win elections. Make no mistake about this. Going negative is the only way to win elections in this dumbed down country. Why, we elected the brain dead George W Bush twice, and his father by succumbing to disingenious tactics. Now we are falling for it again. hillary knows that the only way she can win is through dirty politics as pages she tore out of Karl Rove, tricky Dick and Lee Atwater.

    I will trust Obama's judgement over hillary's dirty experience any day. Experience is what got us into the war. Ask hillary and McCain. They can attest to their experience.

    hillary said she foound her voice. Let me tell you, she found the voice of Karl Rove, Lee Atwater and Richard Nixon. And by golly she is going to win, whatever it takes.

    You can spin yourself any which way you can about your candidate if it makes you feel good aout your choice.

    With Clintons is something new everyday, the garbage disposal part of her kitchen sink analogy. My god, how can you ignore her platitudes now on John McCain? Do you ask yourself the question if she is indeed a Democrat? And if she is not the Democrat to win the nomination, better a Republican friend?

    She is now NOT at all qualified to be Democrat, much less the President.

    to play whatever cards she has to demonize Obama. If hillary thinks that darkening Obama's photo is what is going to hurt Obama, she will do so very willingly and persistently. She is that kind of person. The true hillary is finally emerging and unraveling on national television. The last few days should erase any doubt of hillary having any shred of decency. She has none.

    Will Democracy Win?

    As the long slog to the nomination continues, Clinton's low-road tactics put the integrity of the electoral process at risk. Do the Democrats have the will to ensure it will be fair?

    All Democrats should be extremely upset that hillary is now promoting the candidacy of John McCain over Obama. How would you have reacted if Obama had said that McCain had more experience than hillary and therefore more qualified to run for the presidency?

    And will you vote for McCain should hillary be his running mate? Remember, she has more in common with McCain that with Obama. After all, they both voted for the war and they are both huge political friends of Joe Lieberman who jumped the party when the Dems voted him out.

    This is not about hillary or Obama in the final analysis. If you want the same old divisive bickering in congress then hillary is your gal. Like someone said, she is a fighter, she fights with everyone but does she really fight FOR anything? Tell me what she has fought for?

    If you are not for change and not for some modicum of civility in government, then Obama is certainly not your candidate. After hillary's shrill behavior and her negative ads how can anyone trust her to not come up with more nefarious posturing? Did you hear that the NAFTA thing with Canada was actually originated by the Clinton camp? This is not anything I am making up. It is all over the news.

    Being on your list, I will wear that as a badge of honor.

    But you still haven't answered my question of why you are compelled to stand by hillary as she stands by McCain.

    "She'd run as a nazi if she thought it would win her Ohio again."

    Not yet. She's running as a McCain clone because she thinks it will win her Pennsylvania. Let's not forget it's Rick Santorum country, our favorite GOP bully boy. That will probably work in her favor. The she will bring out her storm troopers at the convention to seat FL and MI delegates on her side.

    It's funny how the indefensible hillary destructive tactics are made palatable by attacking her opponent's supporters, with such condescending panache.

    How about taking some time to really investigate the unholy trinity of Mccain, hillary and lieberman? That to me should be more substantive than slapping Obama's knuckles for Rezko (which is actually a non-story) and calling for hillary to reveal her finances. That should give us a clear picture of which lobby is financing her gutter politics.

    lieberman has been stumping for McCain throughout the primaries. hillary just made it plain now that McCain is far better qualified to run for the Presidency. ALL three voted for the war on Iraq and ALL three are beholden heavily to the ALL powerful Israeli lobby. Be not surprised when Iran is the next country that will be bombed by American shock and awe. An invasion and occupation will be gleefully endorsed by McCain, hillary and lieberman.
