Your talking points are transparent.
Barack Obama is ahead against McCain in all polls.
Please stop shilling for the Clinton machine.

2008-04-19T09:41:00.000-04:00

The first attempt to get information about Wright and the other issues was on ABC and the Obama team has gone beserk. Not only that, it didn't turn out to be such a "vett". He has never answered the questions well enough for us to know or understand. What are his connections to his political reliatives in Kenya? Is it true Sharpton is an unoffical consultant with whom Obama speaks almost daily?

And what guaratee do we have that he'll handle the presidency any better than he's handled his campaing? Was it smart to never mention the Wright issue before it blew up in his face? Is it smart to be so indebted to Soros and MOVEON? Is it smart to let Michele rave on about her hard life and her evil country? Those or just a few of his "missteps". We can't afford any more "missteps" from our President.

You neglected to point out the great work of Bill Clinton as president.

2008-04-18T22:03:00.000-04:00

6:55, I agree with you that all candidates should indeed be vetted. Obama has been going through that process, in case you haven't noticed. I just disagree with you in that I don't think what has come out disqualifies Obama. Some are legit issues he has to deal with (Rev. Wright), some are exaggerated (Ayers), and some are just straight-up, fabricated flotsam (muslim, flag lapel pin).

If you want to vote for McCain, go ahead. McCain is an honorable guy, though I think terribly wrong on some of the most compelling issues of our time. I don't think, though, that Obama's issues discount him from doing a bang-up job as President, especially when compared with the Presidents we've had in the last 30 or so years. (Was Nixon so great? Ford? Carter? Reagan? Bush 1? Bush II?)

2008-04-18T19:00:00.000-04:00

I'm in high school and we are assigned to read blogs. Iusually don't write becuase somebody might call me stupid if I make a mistake, but I do know one thing I already learned. You have got to be careful who you hang out with. One of my best friends didn't know some kids in the car with him had dope and when the police stopped and caught them, he was accused too and he didn't even know about it. He didn't know they did dope either. He should have vetted them.

2008-04-18T18:55:00.000-04:00

I investigate my surgeon, my dentist, my doctor, my insurance agent, my plumber, my baby sitter, my car mechanic, my financial adviser and then the recommendations he makes. I judge my friends, my pastor, my neighbors, andothers insofar as seeing if I have the same values and wish to associate with them on a more than very casual basis. Everyone I know does this unless they're extremely naive.

Why oh why is it not wise to vett the person who is to affect all the areas of my life, my family's life, my loved-ones lives; and all the citizens of my coutnry and the world, because it is the most important job in the world.

Yes, Sidney, i want someone who has been "VETTED" and if I had the power over the election that I havae over my own affaires, I would insist all candidates be vetted.

2008-04-18T15:41:00.000-04:00

2:48PM=Republican Troll??

If you're not a troll, you are essentially arguing that we should never allow new blood to enter the arteries of power since you are saying that any first-time national candidate will have to deal with completely fabricated rumors and innuendo and that the electorate will believe anything so we shouldn't even bother fighting against these scurrilous lies.

That does not exactly make for a vibrant democracy, though. It makes for aristocracy or monarchy where we recycle through the same few families because we are comfortable with them, they've been "vetted," and we know their baggage.

Sigh...

2008-04-18T14:48:00.000-04:00

I just read Ostroys latest blog where a contributor says an email is going around saying Obama's cousin received millions from Obama supporters which was a contribution to the cousin's political camgaign, He lost and claimed the election was rigged and caused major turmoil in Kenya. The email says that Obama is really a Muslim and if he doesn't win the election he'll claimm it was fixed and cause race riots in the USA. True or not -- which I believe it is not -- won't matter when the Replicans circulate that during the election. The email was supposedly send my missionaires in Kenya. Obama can't win against the Republican machine Hillary was right -- we know her haggage.

2008-04-18T14:39:00.000-04:00

Sidney, since "person" is singular its pronoun must be singular also; and unless the gender is known to be female, the masucline form is used correctly.

And, as for Obama being smarter than Bush -- Bush was smart enough not to make major mistakes during his campagn that alienated a huge number of Americans. He kept his skeletons in the closet.

2008-04-18T12:08:00.000-04:00

You know where McCain stands? He's flipped-flopped on the Bush tax cuts, torture, the influence of christian evangelism on politics. Yeah, we know where he stands on some things: WAR WAR WAR. IRAQ! IRAN! AFGHANISTAN! RUSSIA! All at the same time!! And he's clueless on the economy.

McCain has a a VIOLENT TEMPER!! He got in a fist fight with a congressman!! He called his wife a C*nt in front of his aides and the press. He is loathed by most of his colleagues. This man would be a HORRIBLE president. He'd BOMB BOMB BOMB the entire world. He's DANGEROUS and CRAZY. PLUS, he's so OLD. He'd be having senior moments all the time. Like confusing shia and sunni and iran and al qaeda. He's probably getting ALZHEIMER'S.

2008-04-18T12:00:00.000-04:00

What most Obama fans don't understand or want to acknowledge is that president's don't bring things to the floor of congress,who ever controls congress does,so which they can control the agenda.So democrates quit your snibling you have control of the purse strings.Most dumb americans(as sidney and obama call us)understand that voting mccain is not 4 more years of bush.Its called keeping a check on goverment,exspecially when you have Mr. Obama out there who carries more baggage(even more than monica's mouth and blue dress after bill),between the Rev.Wright,Rezko,and not taking a stand even against porn shops next to schools. He voted present 130+ times so his stance on anything is slim to none and then he even talks down to the very people he needs "I KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR YOU AND AILES YOU AND ONLY I KNOW HOW TO FIX IT." And atleast you know where Mccain stands,you might not agree with him but you know where he stands.And if you don't like him in 2012 vote someone else in.

2008-04-18T11:05:00.000-04:00

Americans will not vote for a man who knows crappola about the economy while we're in the midst of a recession and Americans will not vote for the cheerleader of an extremely unpopular war who wants to take us to war with Iran.

You may think that Americans are stupid and that they never care about issues and only care about personality, but this November Americans will prove you wrong...

10:53 am,
Believe whatever you want, but this time next year neither Obama nor Clinton will be President and the country will be better off because of it.

Americans will not vote for someone who talks down to them.

2008-04-18T10:53:00.000-04:00

10:47am,

If George W. Bush can be elected President twice, then anyone can be elected President. No one was born with a bigger silver spoon than Bush. No one was more clueless and ill-prepared than George. W. Bush. No one was more of an empty suit elitist than the prep-school, yale, harvard business school, alcoholic, AWOL George W. Bush.

Obama is Superman when compared with Bush. If Bush can get elected, so can Obama.

And since Obama is about a thousand times smarter than Bush, he'll likely govern a thousand times better than Bush.

2008-04-18T10:47:00.000-04:00

Democrats are such idiots. In 2 years, you will look back and realize how silly it was to select Obama as a Presidential candidate. The guy has got nothing and you're drinking the kool aid.

He has no track record; he's friends with the likes of Bill Ayers, the Hate Preacher, and Farakahn; and he does not have the ability to take a stand on issues (see his 130+ 'present' votes).

Democrats are selecting a bubble as their Presidential candidate. Please step out of wonderland and into reality. How is Obama supposed to stand up to enemies of America if he is crying about his treatment during a debate.

Obama needs to take the silver spoon out of his mouth and realize he does not have what it takes to be President of the United States.

"The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more." - Michelle Obama

The Obama's are communists.

2008-04-18T09:13:00.000-04:00

And what exactly did your response just contribute, 8:34am? It would be in your interest to take a long, hard look in the mirror before labeling someone's comment a "dumb-ass responce" (as you call it). You haven't contributed a scintilla of substantive commentary.

2008-04-18T08:34:00.000-04:00

Thank you Sidney for your typical dumb-ass responce,We now know why you have the time to blog every minute,If you use these type arguments in your practice,you have a very short client list.Have you ever,ever,ever won a case.If so,it's a very,very,very,short list

Well, doesn't that also mean that the person I was...

2008-04-18T01:06:00.000-04:00

Well, doesn't that also mean that the person I was originally responding to couldn't possibly know that ALL of Obama's supporters say Hillary is a "white monster bitch"?? I'm sure he hasn't clocked all of the remarks. And which is more likely to be true? That all Obama's supporters think Hillary is a "white monster bitch" or that only a very small handful think so? Hmm, more likely to be the latter, 6:13pm. It's always so sad to see the supporters of a losing candidate lash out in such counterproductive ways. You'll get better in time. Have some warm milk and take a nap.

Oh, and 5:53, since you're such a grammarian, don't you think it would be a bit presumptuous to think the person I was responding to was a male? I should have said his or her. Thank you for the correction though. Given the myriad typos and grammatical errors on this blog's comments section (as well as most blog's comments sections), I'm sure you're hard at work playing linguistic hall monitor.

2008-04-17T18:13:00.000-04:00

Sidney's logic is nonexistent. He is mantally challenged in that area, too.

Sidney, just because you say there are only a handful of verbal abusers among the millions of Obama supporters, doesn't prove anything. You have absolutely no way of knowing how many of his supportrs verbally abuse Hillary and you could only know if you were able to "clock" the remarks of all of them all of the time. You can surmise, guess, or even suggest that statistically from those we're heard speak that they are few such abusers. But you cannot logically present it as factual.

2008-04-17T17:53:00.000-04:00

2008-04-17T17:48:00.000-04:00

Sidney you're the racist. 1:27 merely implied that you're so dumb anybody could lead you down an alley and mug you. That "anybody" could be of any race or gender.. You jumped to the conclusion that he was implying the perpetrator would be black. Do you see how projection works? You're a racist subconsciously No wonder you're so rabid an obsessive about NOT being a racist.

2008-04-17T15:04:00.000-04:00

Actually, if you could read you'd notice that I said the person was dumb only after destroying their argument on substantive grounds. Guess you skipped over the part where I said it's ridiculous to say all Obama supporters (or most) say/believe something that a few people have said and that it would be equally unfair to do the same to Clinton's supporters.

So either you can't read or you're the LIAR...Which is it?

QUIT WHINING BECAUSE YOUR CANDIDATE IS A LOST CAUSE. Pathetic!

2008-04-17T14:53:00.000-04:00

2008-04-17T13:12:00.000-04:00

Wow, so because small handful of the MILLIONS of Obama supporters used terrible language to describe Senator Clinton then all or most Obama supporters call her that? Great logic, sonny. I've read some horrible comments by Clinton supporters directed at Obama, so should I be allowed to say all/most Clinton supporters say and believe such horrible things about Obama? How dumb are you really, 11:14am?

2008-04-17T11:14:00.000-04:00

anybody who don't kiss Obama's A$$ is a racist to you sidney and if you don't think Obama supports don't use the words monster and white bitch go to buzz flash.com huffington post,Or any of the other liberal post and blogs and you will see that these terms being used on a daily base's, sometimes together, sometimes seperately
