A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    Wake Up America!

    If you thought that Obama or Edwards told you anything, then I think it is time to have your hearing checked.

    The only person who actually stated facts at the New Hampshire debate last night was Hillary Clinton.

    The most important question you should answer about Barack Obama is; would you hire an entry level employee to run your company? I know you would answer NO to this, so; why would you hire an Entry Level Senator to run the United States of America?

    I think the voter’s of America are again following the media bandwagon and jumping for the candidate who can talk the talk, but may not be able to walk the walk. The Americans who voted for George W. Bush made a very critical error in their judgment and all of us, who did not endorse him, are living these mistakes every day. If you remember, George W. Bush was also a favorite son of the media.

    The most important objective of selecting a nominee is to know what they have accomplished in their lifetime. I too can offer Hope, but what does Hope really mean? We need a President, who on day one knows what needs to be done. I do not need to be told that we HOPE everything works out.

    As far as John Edwards he is the type of person who speaks negative of Big Corporations in order to get the fly off his back, but John Edwards is Big Corporation! John Edwards was in the Senate for six years and the only thing he was proud of was co-writing the Patients Bill of Rights. During the NH Debate, he made off as if this bill was approved and that Americans benefited by the bill. Well, this was an untruth by John Edwards, since the bill was never passed. Why didn’t John Edwards fight for the bill? It may have helped the child he brings up in every debate. This child died because John Edwards did not fight for the bill that he stated he was so proud of.

    Americans really need to sit back, turn off the television and make their selection based on the experience of the candidate and what the candidates have accomplished in their lifetime. They should not be impressed because someone has a deep voice and can read a speech written by someone else.

    Let’s get serious America. Hillary Clinton has a proven record for helping the people of America.

    This nomination should not be about making HISTORY based on the color of your skin or your gender.

    Let’s make History by being the country that is not financially dependent on other countries. Let’s make history by being the country that has the best affordable health plans for all citizens. Let’s make history by being the country that is not afraid to communicate with other countries in order to keep peace.

    We will never accomplish anything if we do not nominate the candidate who has the experience.

    Hillary Clinton has accomplished so much in her 35 years in public life and has proven to me that she is the best candidate for the President of the United States of America.
