He...I'm stunned that Hillary is still in the lead. Her comment "I'm your girl" and her use of "When I'm your president" are both silly and annoying attempts at -- I'm not sure what. Is it postivie thinking and THE SECRET that's she's practicing? The use of "girl" is perjorative after one becomes twenty-five. Who would dare call Obama "boy"? We fought that battle years ago. <BR/><BR/>Not only that, she seldom gives a straight answer; and she does threat us like children who shouldn't know what the "adults" are thinking. <BR/><BR/>And just as it was wrong for most Americans to elect Bush because he was "cute", down-to-earth and seemed like a good guy to drink beer with, it would be wrong to elect Hillary for her smile,(if that turns you on), her debating skills or anyother attribute but the right ideas and programs that would restore America; and the intelligence and strengh of character to excecute them. She hasn't even acknowledged her vote for the war was wrong. And I cringe when she mentions her fifteen years experience taking on the right wing. How --she didn't invite them to White House dinners?<BR/><BR/>Edwards is the only candidate among the Democrats who could possibly be a great president. His ideas are dramatically in favor of the average American, as were Roosevelt's. And, the country is probably as bad off now as it was when FDR was president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-12022782065173737372007-08-09T13:43:00.000-04:002007-08-09T13:43:00.000-04:00Andy,Check this out:Gore Says He May Re-enter Poli...Andy,<BR/><BR/>Check this out:<BR/><BR/><B>Gore Says He May Re-enter Politics</B><BR/><BR/>http://www.int.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=3&art_id=nw20070808093403512C645821<BR/><BR/>Is he slowly inching toward an announcement?<BR/><BR/>Fingers crossed.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-61777272261329398042007-08-09T12:22:00.000-04:002007-08-09T12:22:00.000-04:00Andy, What's with the Clintons always knowing how...Andy,<BR/> What's with the Clintons always knowing how to "whip the pants off the competition" (your quote) ?

I also believe that Kucinich<BR/>should be given a real fair chance<BR/>in OUR OWN minds. <BR/><BR/>My vote goes to whoever wins the<BR/>Democratic primary.

That same someone should remind the Dem candidates that louder isn't necessarily better, because it just makes them look frantic, desperate, and unable to keep a cool composure. Don't they have handlers or media consultants who could remind them of this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-88710342764896038162007-08-09T08:10:00.000-04:002007-08-09T08:10:00.000-04:00As much as I like Hillary, I think she is being pu...As much as I like Hillary, I think she is being pushed by the right including money donations. Why? They figure they have the best change to beat her. Rumor has it they are going to launch a huge smear on Bill Clinton to bring her down.<BR/><BR/>Remember this is the crowd that will do anything to stay in power.<BR/><BR/>I find Republicans disgusting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
