@madamfauntleroy stars upon thars
How do I know you really got a star? Maybe you went through the star-on machine? I'm getting ready to go through the star-off machine myself. Stars are so passe.

Just click on the link below your name and voila, it tells you how many stars you doth got. How much weight do I give stars? Zilch, especially coming from some secretive rater whose job it is to read all these many posts

IT AIN'T HILLARY TRYING TO SHUT DOWN AND DISENFRANCHISE MILLIONS
And NOBODY should let the self-entitled turds of Obamateur's and the religious right and Republican country-clubbers let them get stripped of their right to vote in this election either.
whatever name calling Obama and his repulsive supporters can dish out but can't take in is NOTHING compared to what the people have been through the past seven years and it s NOTHING like what they will GO through should the Republicans get their wish and have McCain sweeps the floor with Obama.
DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AND DON'T LET ANYONE TAKE THIS ELECTION FROM YOU.

Trenee and the Weeper
It isn't logic that has much to do with "Weeping Brunnhilde." It's the blatant needyness. Why not go on the sites that provide instant messaging? She should change her tag to "disillusioned." It's her common theme. I wonder if she even reads the articles. I see little if any reference to anything or anyone she can't attract attention from.

The American public has suffered seven years of people like you.

To the Lurkers
Please don't let the vulgar and repulsive fools who would do anything to ensure that Obama gets the nomination to go down in flames dissuade you. They are foul-mouthed cretins who log in under dozens of alias to create an illusion of big numbers.
You have a right to your vote and you have a right to a candidate that has a chance at beating McCain - which is obviously not Obama who can't even win Massachussets or California - before Wright.
Most people agree with you. Do NOT let the Obamatuer's and their Republican imposters take this election from you.
Eight years of John McCain after eight years of Bush and there will be NO middle class at all.
Godspeed.

Saying Nothing
The Rovian tactics Obama has used against Hillary have made me go so crazy that I actually agree with a quote Rush Limpballs gave to Time magazine... "Right now (Obama is) saying NOTHING better than anybody has ever said it."

Hillary's Lies?
Either Hillary is stupid for lying about things she knows the media and Obama will examine or it's the way she felt when they landed in Bosnia, which was a war zone at the time. I find it hard to believe she would outright lie. As you said, the Republicans made a big deal out of the law records which showed nothing illegal. Most criticism from the Republicans proves to be "much ado about nothing."

If you find it hard to believe, then you're easy to deceive. Consider yourself duped.
You have just been fanagled.
Filed.

"Either Hillary is stupid for lying about things she knows the media and Obama will examine or it's the way she felt when they landed in Bosnia, which was a war zone at the time. I find it hard to believe she would outright lie. "
Fair enough.
But this is the crux of the matter. Let's give her the benefit of the doubt on this: the question remains, so what?
Chelsea was still with her, no? As was Sinbad?
The question being, bullets or no bullets, how is this anecdote evidence that she's qualified to answer the phone call at 3am?
That's the real question, isn't it?

Busy life?

I guess when you have a busy life, something like running from a plane under sniper fire in Bosnia is something you would easily forget or confuse with other times when you have come under gunfire.
Incidentally, for all that the First Lady was sent there because it was too dangerous for the Prez, he had apparently been to the same airbase himself two months earlier.
Clinton dismissed Sinbad's account, saying at George Washington University: "He's a comedian." She told reporters she had often had to go to places deemed "too dangerous' for president Bill Clinton. She visited Tuzla after the Dayton peace agreement that ended the conflict but when there were still sporadic outbreaks of violence. In contrast to her claim that she went to places regarded as too dangerous for her husband, he had visited the same base two months earlier.
Guess it was safer the first time.

Obama, Clinton & McCain
My own guess is that McCain has plenty of overexposure, too.
His flippant response to the questions about Iran, and keeping troops in Iraq ... Hillary has the potential here, being very experienced in Congress, can set the question this way:
With the United States completely unraveling so far as the housing crisis is concerned; the lowering of value of the dollar; prospects for both worsening throughout this year; not too mention that we may have another bad hurricane year -- Hillary can just ask: "how long do you, the American people, wish to support the Iraqi Government dithering around over making their own nation work? We have now given them more than five years of support. We have lost 4000 men and women killed in combat; another 500 - 1000 died of illness, disease, injuries, and have approximately 30,000 combat wounded, with the growing long-term costs of many disabled veterans a responsibility for life. Just how long do we surrender our own good efforts to the nebulous definition of 'victory' as defined by John McCain?"
"I therefore continue to propose that WE, here in America, come up with our own definition of 'victroy' which doesn't keep us there -- as Senator McCain so flippantly mocked -- ten years, a hundred years!" We cannot afford these kinds of wars. We particularly cannot afford to be in the middle of the Shi'ia - Sunni struggle in Islam. We must defiine our own victory and bring the troops home in a prudent, staggered withdrawal. We must continue to support the Iraqis as long as they are working towards a reasonable accommodation for their own people."
Obama frankly doesn't have the experience. I would guess, but of course, am not certain, that the GOP will unleash more Rev. Wright videos if they'd rather fight Hillary; or, if she's the nominee, then they will use all of the methods described herein to beat her. She does have very high unfavorable. I support her, and will not discount her. I think she will need to present herself in a different way to the American people if she wins the nomination. I do not intend on supporting Obama since I think he is a phony. I will not vote for McCain. If the case looks doable, I will vote for someone else ... write in. I think Obama's race issues will become worse as we move into a broader electorate which includes plenty of folks who will absolutely despise the implications of Rev. Wright's anti-white rhetoric.
McCain, however, is a jerk. He is a real conservative, and he is a sadistic man in situations where he knows he has to control his temper. I would urge either Obama or Clinton to launch some attacks on him which will provoke the outburst of anger American needs to see to believe. The private stories make him sound pretty mean and rude, and, arrogant. As a PTSD sufferer from Vietnam, my own take is that he has never resolved the fury he must hold inside, about being "abandoned," in a sense, by his parents (his mother cold bloodedly recounted on C-Span how the military advised she and her admiral husband to not write the entire time he was incarcerated -- and they didn't).
The austere demeanor of his mother, plus, the unresolved fury he must feel about his torture, is a powder keg and it is there, obviously, with people he works with. I think that he may also have woman problems. The last of that hasn't been resolved yet, as far as I am concerned.
I'll still take my chances on Hillary v. McCain. Obama's a lightweight, and the media seems to not care that among the Democrats, he is like Giuliani -- "if I tell you it is so, it MUST be so."
If Hillary and Obama are head to head, I hope that the Dems draft Al Gore. Gore would kick McCain's butt all over the parking lot and then some. It is a butt which needs to be kicked.
