  • Prostitution

    [Read the article: Obama ad hits Clinton on gas tax again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    "It's a lame attempt to discredit Senator Clinton as she closes the lead in NC and gains in IN. "

    Hillary has decided that she can prostitute ALL her principals to win a few votes. Hey, it's her campaign, but I don't vote for people who have no principals.

    She demonstrates, yet again, that no one can compromise a principal faster than a Clinton. That's what so many of us dislike, strongly, about CLinton and Clintonism. Nothing DEMOCRATIC about Clinton, Clintonism and all those people.

    Of course, it is HATEFUL. She believes that the votes of normal people are worth a bag of potato chips. She can't buy my vote. Obviously, there is NO LIMIT to the whoredom that she can engage in for you Klinton KultWacks.

  • Here's my proposal

    [Read the article: Obama ad hits Clinton on gas tax again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    I believe that the American people need a break. I believe that most people fill up their gas tank 1 time a week, and that includes 15 gallons of gas ($2.70). For the 10 weeks of the summer, we are talking about saving

    $27

    We'll be cutting those $27 checks right away, folks. Yep, them $27 dollar checks will pull us right out of the recession.

  • No, they are NOT both pandering

    [Read the article: Obama ad hits Clinton on gas tax again]

    $1000 is an actual sum. Do I think it's a good idea? Not really, but it is a substantial proposal.

    Hillary and McCain propose giving each and every American $27 over the course of the summer. That's a huge big fat lie.

    When Obama proposes a real sum of 1000, we can debate its merits, and possibly reject. With the gas tax big lie, it's a shameless pander because it is DECEPTIVE (how much will each person save) and it is simply an appeal to the morons. That's why so many Clinton supporters like it, of course.

  • The other disgusting thing

    [Read the article: Obama ad hits Clinton on gas tax again]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    is that Hillary is, yet again, siding with a MORONIC, IDIOTIC REPUKELISCUM idea for the simple idea of PROSTITUTING DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

    She is doing what McCain wants!! She is giving McCain cover!!!

    What a disgusting spectacle.

  • Irresponsible pandering and whoredom

    [Read the article: Clinton responds to gas tax attacks]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary will stop at nothing. there is no limit to the prostitution that this woman will engage in to get a vote.

    This is a stupid idea. It is not going to pass. It is prostitution, plain and simple.

  • 5.5 years in the Hanoi Hilton

    [Read the article: We all need a little Swift Boat in our lives]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    How sane could anyone be after that length of time? Look at McCain's change in personality after leaving the Hanoi Hilton - had numerous affairs, dumped his wife with her two kids.

    How stable IS McCain?

    We can Swift-Boat with the best. This is gonna be a disgusting, scummy campaign, but I'm damned if the Democrats will be out-slimed by the Republicans.

  • Where are any principles

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Hillary is running on experience. What kind of experience would lead her to support a Republican gas tax holiday?

    This insanely stupid prostitution of a gas tax holiday is a perfect example of the difference between JUDGEMENT and EXPERIENCE. Obama has less experience than either of the other two. However, his JUDGEMENT is far superior.

  • Judgement

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    "ou should try to be a bit more informed about what you post. Sen. Obama voted to suspend the gas tax three times, now he is against it."

    He learned from experience. HIllary has learned nothing.

    He voted to repeal the tax, then voted to reinstate. He realized that the repeal did the consumer no good at all.

    Why does Hillary reflexively support so many Republican programs?

    Why didn't Hillary read the NIE before voting to give George the AUMF?

    Her judgement is very bad, time and time again.

  • The insult of the gas tax giveaway to the oil companies

    [Read the article: Hillary Clinton's big, brass ... fortitude]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    The remarkably stupid gas tax proposal, which is a gift of direct money to the oil companies, demonstrates the REMARKABLE contempt that Hillary has for normal people.

    She believes that she can buy the vote of an ignorant, uninformed voter for the price of a bag of potato chips.

    That is so demeaning and disdainful that it takes your breath away. It is one thing to spend good money for a vote. It shows huge contempt and hatred to try to buy a vote for $3, the amount a normal person will save on a fill-up BEFORE THE OIL COMPANIES RAISE PRICES.

    It's a remarkably stupid idea, and demonstrates that Hillary cannot see beyond the end of her nose, strategically. She is a very bad long-term thinker and planner.

  • What Hillary botched

    [Read the article: How Hillary Clinton botched the black vote]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Yes, she botched the black vote. But, more importantly, she botched my vote.

    I was backing Chris Dodd and John Edwards and Bill Richardson. As each of these failed, I looked at the others. I looked carefully at Hillary, and found her lacking in two VITAL areas.

    1) She never explained what Bill would be doing. He was a very poor president. He did nothing for the Democratic Party. He enacted plenty on the Republican wish list, but little for the Democratic Party. I saw no reason for him to have another 8 years. She could have addressed this issue, and clearly defined a role for him. I suppose, with no evidence, that he blocked that. That of course is more concerning.

    2) She voted for the AUMF. This is pretty much a deal-breaker for me. That was Kerry's problem, and I am DAMNED if I buy the CRAP that comes from Hillary about this error of judgement.

    She shows little from the years of "experience" pouring tea, giving tours of the White House to other spouses, and doing other such jobs. I could have backed her, but do not at this time.
