I agree with almost all the opinions, but to me the pressure on young people today has to be so heavy compared to when I was of college age (I am in my 60's). To be sucessful today as I see it represents Money which seems to be the number one goal of people today. Look at the car I drive, the clothes I wear, where I live and OH, look at how sucessful my children are I must be a success, but what is going on inside?????
I am having a difficult time reading to what I call "Bashing" of a canidate. Of all the remarks I have read I really hear alot of ANGER and yes VENOM for Hillary, I must admit I am not as well-versed on politics as some of you or can express myself as eloquent as most but I am a Democrat through and through. I ADMIRE ALL the Democratic Candidates, each for a different reason. I wish I could take a little from all of them Richardson,Edwards, Obama, and we would have the perfect candidate for 2008.
I keep going back to the fact that Hillary is a WOMAN WITH BRAINS and that is her main problem with most of you. Moderate, Liberal, Leaning Left, hasn't apologized for her stance on the Iraq war, how many of you had a definite stance on the war in the beginning? I know for myself I felt it was wrong to INVADE a country BUT what IF the evidence was true???? I waffled back and forth til the evidence started showing we were duped.
It seems to me as you pick her apart you except more from her than any other candidate or could it be she has been under the microscope more than the other candidates??
I read most of the letters and I noticed nobody mentioned that the U.S. Attorney's
themselves thought their dismissals Polotical!!!!!!
This issue will never be solved, but it really irritates me that we have Men making the laws about my body and its functions. Than you for your article, it just brought back all the issues about Religion and why I think our society today is in such turmoil.
If You Hillary Haters had one tenth the brains she has you would not be spouting such absolute garbage about politics.
What do you think politics is all about????? The Money!!!!and whoever has the most wins. It's all one big game. It would be wonderful if we had a altruistic candidate, but those days are gone forever, the times they have a changed.
I personally like Bill Richardson, I think he has the knowledge and experience to be President but we know that isn't gonna happen.
The Bush Adminstration has divided this country into so many groups that I do not think any candidate could pull us together again. I am still shocked that Baby Bush got reelected. How many of you will own up to voting for him the second time????? or for that matter the first time!!!
No Republican has ever done anything for me in my lifetime!!!!
So just chill and ask yourself how would YOU run your campaign if you were running for President.
I find it hard to believe that a woman we really know nothing about makes a few speeches and isn't she just the one.
Lets get real people this is politics, not who can make the best speeches or dresses the best or has a few quick cute one liners. Is this the way we are going to pick a President?
I want someone with EXPERIENCE, like I would chose a Doctor or Dentist or Lawyer. I do not think Obama is there yet, especially during these times. I like Bill Richardson but I know he will not make it. Hillary is my next choice, I know about her and her life experiences.
I can't believe the person who made a remark about Maureen Dowd being jealous of Michelle with her life and children, what is so wonderful about having children??????
