HRC's antics are bringing this country to a new low. And that is saying a lot considering the outrages of the Bush administration.
I am just so disgusted by the Clinton campaign. I feel Karl Rove would even be outraged at the gutter-type slime dished out by the Clintons. Lee Atwater turned over in his grave after reading "USA Today" saying "HRC, please quit the race, you're disgracing yourself and the country that you represent."
HRC has reached the nadir of humanity in using dirty, vile, untrue, trash. And she tries to keep changing the game by moving the goal posts in every inconceivable direction.
I think the country is lost! Down the old drain-pipe we go!
The country is too racist to vote for Obama. If he were white there wouldn't be any contest. He is a remarkably good, compassionate, fair, human being.
But he is alien to Washington,D.C. politics and the corporate controlled media will push McCain. There are too many people that have a lot to lose if he ever became President.
The elitists will win again.
There is nothing journalistic about Joan Walsh.
She is completely pro-Clinton! What is utterly annoying is that she keeps pretending and alluding to some kind of obtuse objectivity.
I watched her the other evening on "Hardball" and the discussion was about HRC dropping out of the race. Walsh kept on pushing the point that HRC should be given "respect" of some sort. As though she was entitled.
Give "respect" to the lowest form of human being that I can imagine, who would use any despicable, desperate tactic to win anything, unfairly and dishonestly.
What drivel!
What in the hell is Glenn Greenwald doing on this web-site.
A giant among midgets!
It is now being widely reported that Hillary is pushing very strongly for the VP slot. Senators have been so turned off by her disgustingly negative campaign that she has no chance for a leadership position in the Senate.
Obama is also really turned off by this prospect.
If she, the person of the lowest possible ethics and who lives very comfortably in the gutter, does become the VP candidate I shall vote for McCain. I find her thoroughly repulsive and think that she is only acceptable to the low-information voters and the older feminist women like Walsh.
"The Hillary as V.P. thing is not gonna come to be
Cos Michelle Obama has said that idea's ancient history."
I certainly hope so! But crazy things happen in politics.
Obama was saying I think today, that he was getting so unfairly clobbered by HRC that he had to respond or else everybody would perceive him as being a wimp. He regrets the times he reacted negatively and was proud of the times when he wanted to, but resisted, and took the high-road.
I hope that he resists the political expediencies put forth by the Hillary campaign. They will tell him that he needs her support. If he doesn't put her on the ticket she will undermine him and as usual, play very dirty. No graciousness here!
I hope he says to himself, that even if taking on Hillary as V.P. assures me of the presidency, I don't need it. The heartache will be too great.
I sincerely hope so!
"That bitch needs to be taken down, and I volunteer right now to do it. Smack Down Texas Style, and when she was on the ground I would make her eat shit until she cried out for America--who would ignore her since she shat upon them yesterday."
John Yoo is truly proud of you!
What in god's name are you proud of?
"The reality here is that Obama has made an art form of passive aggression. He's a born master of this particularly unpleasant human behavior, an attribute which does not make him wear well over the long term."
I thought I understood "passive aggression." And I do find that trait particularly repulsive. I would rather have an outright confrontation.
But I don't see Barack acting that way. I just don't! I didn't vote for Kerry because he wouldn't fight back against the swift-boaters. I thought Barack was taking the high-road and thus limiting his ability to respond to Hillary's false accusations and dirty politics.
I think there are real limitations to always taking the high-road with people who are not playing fair.
I would rather see him confront her, but it goes against his campaign strategy of being honest, and changing the ways of Washington. It's a real delemma!
"After reports that Michelle Obama, the senator's wife, has rejected the possibility of an Obama-Clinton ticket, Axelrod flatly said: "That's false." He said there have not been overtures made to the Clinton team to negotiate her departure from the campaign."

My greatest fear is that Clinton is trying for the VP slot. The wingnuts (Clinton supporters) on this thread all threaten to vote for McCain. So be it!
I shall vote for Nader if Clinton is on the ticket. And I think that she is such an insane, underhanded, egotist that she will try to attain that slot. And I also believe she is such a liar and hawk that she poses more of a danger to humanity than McCain.
May a supreme being give Obama strength to deal with this conniving, crazed, selfish politician.
I hope she doesn't get the VP slot and that the Clinton wingnuts do vote for McCain. They all deserve each other.
