Shame On You, America!
Welcome to the dumbest part of our endless national campaign, when all these professional politicians all start pretending they are shocked and hurt by professional politics.Hillary Clinton is so outraged by Barack Obama's campaign sending out campaign mailers! Do you know what that lousy Barack Obama did, even though he is supposedly the guy who uses fancy words to "convince" people to "vote" for him?
That's right, he shamefully allowed these evil mailers to go out to people who might want to make a decision about voting next week, even though the mailers said Obama and Clinton had differences. What does he want, to win the nomination or something?
And have you heard about that nasty newspaper, the New York Times? Shame on you new
spaper people for what you did to Hero Maverick John "Lobbyist" McCain. You implied that he is sort of close to lobbyists.And then the Washington Post took it a step further, cruelly noting that all of John McCain's staffers and friends and probably children are all lobbyists. For shame, newspaper people!
The worst part about the New York Times "hit job" on innocent Keating Five figure John McCain is that it happened during a year in which John McCain is running for president. Shame, shame!
Nice people know that when you're publishing articles critical of hypocritical career politicians like John McCain, you can only do it when the politician isn't running for anything, so nobody will notice. Do you want to bring SHAME to a candidate who is only trying to become the president? Leave him alone! Didn't you know he was tortured?
Lately it seems like nobody in this godforsaken country feels any shame at all.

I saw Hilary Clinton today on CNN - I couldn't believe how she completely lost it. I saw the NAFTA mailer 7-10 weeks ago - its nothing new. Her campaign should stay away from NAFTA talk - we got NAFTA courtesy of the Clinton administration and she had some nice things to say about it in her book. As far as health care goes, their plans are almost identical, except that his will be easier to sell without the mandate. I can't understand why she lost it in front of the cameras and all those people - she had made some progress with being gracious in the debates, and it all evaporated the instant she started with that shrill, annoying voice. Doesn't she have people to stop her? I was sad for her today. It was humiliating and set women back a lot of years. I kept thinking "Is this the voice you want to listen to for the next 8 years?" How awful.

oops...I saw the mailer 7-10 days ago. Trying to stay honest, sorry.

I'm an Obama supporter and under NO CIRCUMSTANCES will I vote for Hillary Clinton. She's too DEVISIVE.
WHY WAS HILLARY'S CAMPAIGN SENDING OUT "MUSLIM" LIES ABOUT OBAMA?

Clinton Campaign Requests Resignation From Second Iowa Coordinator for Obama 'Muslim' E-Mail
Sunday, December 09, 2007
DES MOINES, Iowa — Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday requested the resignation of a second Iowa volunteer coordinator who forwarded a hoax e-mail saying Barack Obama is a Muslim possibly intent on destroying the United States.

Hillary was apparently upset because Obama told the truth and how dare he speak the truth to the American public. I agree with the other guys opion that she set women back at least one hundred years. She is being to emotional and all it is doing is tell the American people that when faced with a lot of stress, she will either flip, or lose her flipping mind. Commander and cheif? Hell no. Crazy housewife? Hell yes.

Well said, Ken. Politics is rough and tumble - as someone (Harry Truman?) said, can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.
As to McCain, this man has enjoyed a cozy relationship with the mainstream Washington press for years. They call him on the carpet for nothing. When McCain refers to lobbyists close to him, they are all "advisers." And the press says...nothing.
I suppose Obama is getting a free ride for now, but he is new to politics. Maybe he too will have McCain's continuing luck!
EILEEN SNYDER12:04AMFeb 24th 2008
Senator Obama has great plans for all types of programs--where is he going to get the funding for all of these programs? He will be digging into the pockets of the working class for more funding. Also, have the people forgotten that as President he is locked into relying on the Senate and Congress to pass his objectives. Also, the question has never come up as to why Senator Obama's middle name is Hussein. Is that not a Muslim name and were we not at odds with Suddam Hussein. I find this reprehensible that no one has asked this question. Although he cannot be held liable for his name, what was behind the naming of a child for a Muslim leader. I believe that as a democrat I shall vote for John McCain, as none of the democratic contenders are honest, can implement any of their plans, and I as a citizen of the United States am outraged by both of their behaviors.

I'm enjoying watching Billary and Islam Obama fight over the nomination, just goes to show that they will resort to anything just to be president...thank God for McCain!
Mannowar12:11AMFeb 24th 2008
Its about time Mrs Clinton got mad. I don't know how she did not, along time ago. The press has been so one sided, hailing Obama as the 2nd comming, while they take cheep shots at her. Watching a rally for him, it was hard to tell if it was a rock concert or a tent revivel. Yes shame on you the press. Its all about the money with you not the facts. Shame on Obama also, for trying to act like John Kennedy, with your finger pointing, like Kennedy use to do. Cant you be your owen man without trying to envoke him?

in response to EILEEN SNYDER
thats why the Obama campaign seems to be doing better. apparently, if he gets the democratic nomnation, no intelligent person in their right minds will vote for him, and McCain will be president.
The End.
Juanita12:16AMFeb 24th 2008
Why did Obama say in his speech the other day that he is bringing our troops home then the VERY NEXT MORNING his mouthpiece came out and said "Well, what it really is is a goal". Is this called hot air or what?
HillaryDesperate12:18AMFeb 24th 2008
Interesting that Mitt Romney said if the Republicans use a strategy that does not involve "Change" they will lose because the American people are not buying this "experience" argument. Now you have McCains people following the same tactical strategy of the Clintons, "I have experience." LOL Keep it up!

Marah12:19AMFeb 24th 2008
Hillary has every right to be upset. The Obama camp
have won over many voters by coloring the truth a diluted color. The Obama supporters really need to take a second look......because things are not always what they seem...
greatdemocrat12:22AMFeb 24th 2008
Ilove the Clintons but Obama has shown great sense maturity, substantive and diligence. A great guy with tremendous personality. I love him very much. Clinton should show grace regardless of the election outcome.
Juanita12:24AMFeb 24th 2008
When I was listening to everything Obama was going to do in his speech the other day my head was spinning.
It bordered on insanity.
Webster12:25AMFeb 24th 2008
Ya know, I have stayed off the blogs for a couple of weeks now because I ggot so sick of the entire mess the media has made of the primaries. Wake up people!! Especially you Obama supporters. He is not who he portrays himself to be!! For CHrist's sake,,look at his snate voting record!!there are more "NV"'s (no votes) on it than I could believe. He is a JUNIOR SENATOR who has neve ran any type of government, local or state. He has only been a JUNIOR senator for 4 years and he does not have the experience to get us out of the mess Georgie has gotten us into.This is not about race or gender or religion or Billy-boy. If the people who are voting for him would act responsibly instead of voting like these elections are American Idol,HIllary would be the only logical choice. Obama is a horribly bad bet. Why in the hell are we letting him get this nomination? For all the parents whose kids have voted for him....... when's the last time your 18-23 year old was worried about social security and the cost of the blue cross blue shield they have never had to pay?.......yeah.... I thought so.
KARIN12:27AMFeb 24th 2008
When are you Obama worshippers going to come back to Earth? Don't you realize that Obama's health care plan is the SAME as Clinton's, just worded differently? He says that Clinton will "force" people to pay for medical coverage, while under his plan we will be "forced" to pay higher taxes so everyone will have coverage! Isn't change wonderful? Why do you all think that "change" automatically means change for the better? Not to mention that "hoping" and "believing" means nothing unless you actually DO the changing! Does he have a magic wand that we don't know about?
informedvoter12:27AMFeb 24th 2008
Experience and status quo politics is what got us into the mess we're all in. It's going to take a drastic change from business as usual to undo the incompetent policies we've been subjected to for DECADES under McCain, Bush, Clinton, Bush, and not Clinton again.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. - Benjamin Franklin
Let's not be insane, elect Barack Obama!

I expect the candidates to make their positions clear, including how their positions differ from their opponents. If the process is true and factual, there should be no complaint--from either candidate. Distorting the facts so they are no longer true or making up lies is dirty politics, something neither candidate should do.
