Beyond this B.S., Hillary has begun to strong sell herself as the Golden Gringo here in Texas. She seems to be betting the entire future of her campaign that our state is 100% demographically comrised of Latinos who will devotedly vote for her because Clinton is a "trusted" a brand name that's been around a while like Quaker Oats. San Antonio is one of the most conservative hispanic cities in the state, and here in Houston Obama has very solid support in East Texas. I smell the scent desperation all over Clintons Target Texas last stand.
Mao...you big meanie!
Plus people don't want another round of Clintons after they've suffered through a long round of Bush's is why Hillary is having such a hard time. Time for new blood, new ideas, and a new direction. I think the whole gender vote thing is overblown.
Go with Clinton...it's better to stay with something rotten and old, than to charter a new course that's bright and bold.
...it's just stupid.
"Next year...TEHRAN!"
Thanks, I enjoyed that piece. The phrase "neon Narnia" is a hilariously clever desciption of the Kroft style.
But I don't see a new face, I see a two face.
If you guys in Wisconsin really do have built in bullshit detectors I can only imagine what kind of wild and erratic readings you must receive anytime a Clinton is nearby.
Why waste a vote? Obama is a vote well and wisely spent.
I'm 43 and I'm pretty pleased also.
Mentally unbalanced that is.
when they start characterizing Obama as some kind of secret saracen. This sicko spectacle can only make me desire change all the more vigorously.
Bill will be her V.P.
He sounds like some fossilized old codger that should retire to grumpy old man land.
Thanks Wisconsin!
It's starting to look like her day one is done.
She's not a put on patriot like Mcain's plastic surgery disaster spouce.
Hillary Horseshit Clinton should once again start thinking about her constituents in the state of New York and give up her vainglorious grab for the whitehouse. That woman is so in love with scent of her own shit that the shear super scale of her "superwoman" hubris is scarey. maybe if she had her feet firmly planted on the ground and believed in something beyond her own unredoubtable believe in herself people would treat her bid for the biggest of all jobs with a bit more seriousness. I can't abide her smug, superior insularity, and the sooner she gets back to her job as senator of New York the better. The Clintons had their day, now's their time to fade away.
...and there was no Texas-size kind of moment for Clinton in evidence there that I could perceive. It might of been Arkansas-size, but it sure wasn't Texas-size. And just as a general observation, Arkansas size just ain't sayin' much.
Hillary's craft at emoting another swelling of sacararine sympathy won't make me nostalgic for another Clinton dynasty as a new decade dawns. Out with the old and in with the new, it is time for this country to find and fix upon, a fresh new view. Houston is hot for Obama. Enough political dissection, bring on the election!
History is not on her side.
How do you work on our fears while you turn on your tears? They called Reagan the great communicator. Perhaps they could call you the great manipulator. No crocodile tears are gonna catch my vote, I'm gonna cast my ballot for some genuine hope. You so movingly talked about Iraq war veterans and amputees, but YOU'RE the one who sent them overseas.
Hillary had the hots for invading Iraq. It was her Margaret Thatcher moment. Her gleefully aggressive and militaristic solutions to dealing with overseas situations are as beligerent and insane as those of senator Joe Lieberman whose green light go ahead legistation for laying out an attack on Iran she eagerly endorced and voted for.
shit that is.
Has anybody read this latest bit of taking tragedy and turning it into poloitical oppurtunism. As you've probably read, a Dallas motorcycle cop protecting Clinton's motorcade had a fatal accident today. The cop who died while providing security to Clinton's crumbling campaign was later praised by Clinton as "Strugglinhg like so many millions of other Americans." I'm sure that's real reassuring to the cop's family. What a bitch! Hillary "cares" about the little people.
but i wouldn't vote for her.
..and a nation yawns.
..is Adraian Schnabel's specialty. some would say he makes "art films." i would say that Schabel is more about artiface than art. His flicks look good, but there's nothing there under the surface.
Nader is an insect. He's so marginal it amazes me.
Going up in a big fireball of infamy!
As far as men not voting for a woman to president, show a man a good candidate and he'll vote for her. Nancy Pelosi for President works for me. But a paranoid, uncomfortable in her own skin creep like Clinton? No!
Simply put, this "dude" will not vote for another Clinton residency in the white house. Time to press on and introduce new talent to the job of being president. People, some people, are afraid to press ahead. I am not. Obama gets my vote. No more Clinton carnivals. No more stupid scandals. No more smug condescentions. All Hillary can do for this country is split this country into mutually antagonistic political factions that will all go picnicing on each other, making no meaningful inroads to anywhere, or making any kind of progress what so ever.
Now if just somehow somebody could approach brokering a true, just, and lasting peace between the Palestinians and Israelis. Clinton is not that person. Bill Clinton made Martin Indyk, an important and influential pro-Israel lobbyist, an important diplomat and advisor in his administration. Lobbyists and neo-con nutcases should not be shaping American foreign policy in a very delicate and volitile part of the world.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
Fox News' morning show plays to type, talking about whether Muslims in the Army should face "special debriefings"
The survivor and author is upset about comparisons some on the right are making to genocide
Once seen as a lunatic fringe, reactionary anti-women groups are courting respectability
