Clinton Campaign Should Not Do MSNBC
[Read the article: Obama declines debate invite, so Clinton will go it alone]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Imagine if some talking head had referred to the Obama campaign as pimping out Oprah. The shrill would be ear-drum piercing by now and wouldn't shut up through the Convention! After all, the Obama campaign is the ONLY campaign that comes with a set of home-grown, self-righteous indignation at just about everything, including comments about his ethnicity, his experience, the fact he is a black candidate, and everything else in between. They have take the "put upon, chip on the shoulder" to a new artform in politics.
Mixing every platitude and successful political one-liner ever spoken in a campaign into the sermon-on-the-mount stump speech, these people can't be bothered with facts or the reality. Take a look at who backs this guy: Liberal elites with high incomes less likely to be affected by the recession or the economy and think voting for a black guy is in-your-face to some imaginary status quo they've been at war with since back-in-the-days, and young adults who have little history in the party and think youth is a class anyway. It's not a shock that people who feel more threatened by the problems going on in with our economy would be supporting the candidate with the experience and strong resume: Hillary.
Watch this Obama thing. It has Karl Rovesque attack machines ready to jump anyone who dares state a fact about their guy that they don't like; and they throw around words like cynicism, hate, race-baiting, and pessimism to deflect their detractors.
No, Obama doesn't want to do anymore debates. At the last one, he was the picture perfect study of "put upon." The reality gets in the way of the rhetoric for these guys. I keep telling folks that when you have a candiate who has no resume and no experience and no real record to run on, that he has to run on "change." And all the buzz words, like page-turning, break with the past, clean slate, are designed to stomp all over Hillary's legitimacy as a qualifed candidate and deflect the fact that he is not qualified. But, hey, they have already taken the kool-aid.

Real Desperation Sets In...
[Read the article: Obama spokesman goes after Clinton on tax returns]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]The Obsma campaign, no longer content with being "a different kind of campaign," just can't help itself by continuing to sashay into "just like every other campaign" tactics. This self-righteous indignation act - if it really is an act - is wearing thin.
Barrack Obama, should he end up with the nomination, is going to get his come-uppance in the General Election bigtime. What the press creates, the press destroys. Clinton got hers years ago. And he's long over due for one. That he thinks the platitudes and rhetoric is going to make some difference shows how naive he really is!
I'm a Democrat who was supporting John Edwards. Since he suspended his campaign, I have been watching both of these candidates very closely. I really dislike the way the media is trashing the Clinton campaign. And I really dislike the cult-like style-over-substance coming out of the Obama campaign. I am voting for Hillary Clinton - and against Obama. And that's something that I didn't think I would do this time: Vote for a candidate in order to vote against another one!
With all the Obama-speak for turning pages, making history, breaking with the past, clean slates, and the rest of the buzz words, you would think the guy would practice what he preaches. The only person staying stuck in the muck of the past is Barrack Obama. And if he is the Democratic nominee, I will not vote for him. I won't vote for the Republican either, but I damn well won't be working to elect Obama President of the United States.
Let's just say, I don't like the fraud and intellectual dishonesty that I see coming out that hype-hole. The Obama lemmings can hold hands and run off all the cliffs they want, thank you. Obama won't debate anymore on the stage. He'll just debate through the filter of the media.
Imagine. Another resume-lite, no experience, uniter, all hat - no cattle, nuclear plant building, bureaucratic manager who will need a learning curve, trying to run the country We just had that, didn't we? Where's the change? The only difference between Bush and Obama is which adult Obama will pick to be his Vice President. Nothing says "lack of credibility" like having a Vice President who knows more than you do!
Yes We Can - Vote for a real qualified candidate who has earned the right to run, prepared herself to run, and will be a strong leader for our country: Hillary Clinton. Oh, yes we can!

Dang!
[Read the article: Karl Rove digs deep for McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Just when we thought it was safe to go back into the water...Karl Rove takes a break from the Obama campaign and makes a contribution to McCain. What? Oh, I could've sworn the Rovesque attack anyone who dares to ask your guy for a fact-check was the handiwork of Karl. Dang. You mean all that ugliness coming out of the Obama campaign is coming directly from The Man himself? Gee. Figures. Thought they were the "different kind of campaign," the new stuff? Here, it turns out they are just like the old stuff.

Looking for Love In All The Wrong Places...
[Read the article: Four more years]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Desperate for approval from ANYWHERE, groping for applause from ANYONE, and clinging to hope that he will have a legacy from SOME PLACE - Bush reminds the Conservatives - and the rest of us - one more time that he has worn their mantle and his father did not. That he was willing to lie to the country to finish off Saddam, something his father failed to do. So desperate for a litte love from any whore in the port, he will trash his own family one more time.
