Sir Elton Shows Clinton Some Love
I've always been a Hillary supporter. There is no one more qualified to lead America.To be sure, there's not much love for Clinton in Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love. But statewide, white voters in Pennsylvania have embraced Clinton. A new Time magazine poll shows that white women are keeping Clinton in the lead in Pennsylvania. The survey found:
I'm amazed by the misogynistic attitudes of some of the people in this country. And I say to hell with them... I love you Hillary. I'll be there for you.
Clinton leads Obama overall 44% to 38% among all Democrats in the TIME survey, but enjoys a notably broader margin of support among white Democratic women: 56% to Obama's 25%. More evenly split, by contrast, are white male Democrats, who prefer Clinton by a narrower margin of 44% to 36%.With the polls tightening, the unwavering support of her sisters should put a song in Clinton's heart.

Gee, another gay Hillary supporter. Add Ellen and Larry and it looks like she has the gay/lesbian transgender crowd all sewn up. TJ and Katherine and the rest must be so proud!
TJ4:32PMApr 10th 2008
TFitz10174, IN CASE YOU HAVENT NOTICED, I DID NOT SAY, GO ELTON! HA HA HA. I SAID, GO HILLARY!!! HA HA!
ANYWAY, I HAVE NOTHING WITH THE ONES THAT COME OUT. ELTON IS A SUPERB SINGER. HE DID GOOD FOR HILLARY.
YOUR GUY, OBAMA, CAME OUT AND SUPPORTED GAYS TODAY.. OBAMA IS REPEALING THE "DONT ASK, DONT TELL." GO FIGURE!
McCAIN BITES HIS TONGUE A THOUSAND TIMES, WHENEVER HE'S ASKED IF HE SUPPORTS GAY MARRIAGE.
I DONT THINK ANYONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH THAT ISSUE.
OBAMA SAYS JEREMIAH WRIGHT SUPPORTS GAY RIGHT SO OBAMA DOES TOO.
WHICH BRINGS US BACK TO JEREMIAH WRIGHT . ..
WHAT A BUNCH OF COKE HEADS.
AS TO LARRY SINCLAIR, I THINK HE IS A NUTCASE. I TEASE OBAMA AND DAVID KNOWLES ABOUT LARRY SINCLAIR BUT, I DO NOT BELIEVE LARRY SINCLAIR.
I WANT HILLARY TO BEAT OBAMA CLEAN AND SQUARE.
I WANT NO PART OF LARRY SINCLAIR.
WITH HIS LAWSUIT AGAINST OBAMA , ITS BOUND TO GO MAINSTREAM--WHICH IS SAD.

so let me get this straight- everyone is afraid to be racist these days. so to make up for past crimes we are going to elect an unqualified man to be our president such as obama? doesnt matter that he and his wife are racist themselves and go to that nasty church! why is america so blind!!!! but it's still ok to be homophobic and diss elton john coming out to support hillary. and it's ok to be sexist and diss hillary clinton totally. i think the media should be sued for what they have done to her. she would have done alot better if cnn and msnc didnt brainwash the amercian people telling them that hilary couldnt win. god people are dumb.
johngotts4:52PMApr 10th 2008
The tough part is the honesty. Clinton depended on Rev. Wright the day the Star report came out about the blue dress, but we all remember Whitewater, pork futures, Travelgate, stealing furntiture from the Wht. house when they left, lying under oath, the impeachment, lying to the public about Lewinski... it just keeps coming. Now it's lies about her helping with the Irish peace process, trips to Africa and then Bosnia. Where does it stop with these people? Do they think Americans are dumb?

Go Hillary and thank you Elton John for giving an awesome concert last night.
If Elton has watched any TV while he is here in our country it is easy to see why he said what he did. The media has been cruel and unrelenting on Hillary.
Vote Hillary or Vote McCain

I love this article. Please take time to read it.
When Virginia Kelley, Bill Clinton's late mother, wrote her book about raising a president, I rushed to read it. In Leading With My Heart, this self-made woman, born to poverty and hard luck, became a nurse, and then an entrepreneur, founding the first female-owned nurse anesthetist business in Hot Springs, Ark.
When she met Hillary Rodham, Kelley described her as not nearly the prettiest girl Bill had brought home. Hillary "was different. No make-up. Coke-bottle glasses. Brown hair with no apparent style." But Bill told his mother, in no uncertain terms: "It's Hillary, or it's nobody."
Why? Because she was smart. She had the intellectual firepower to keep up with him, and surpass him. She worked hard. She believed in the power of ideas to remake people's lives. She was committed to public service. They were becoming partners in a great adventure of changing the fates and fortunes of the America they knew and loved.
Hillary is still the one. Now more than ever. If a woman is ever to be president in my lifetime, it's Hillary.
Why? Because she is smart and tough and committed. She lives and tolerates complexity. She still believes that ideas matter. She is intellectually brainy and emotionally brawny. She has the kind of remarkable endurance that makes it possible for her to press on, despite the klieg lights of controversy and criticism almost always trained in her direction. These are critical attributes for a world leader, and a U.S. president.
Hillary has earned the respect of her congressional colleagues and constituents. She is grounded in public policy in a fashion that defies comprehension or political calculus, and is a member of the Senate Armed Services; Environment and Public Works; and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committees, and the Special Committee on Aging.
How do you measure being a significant figure on the world stage? During her White House years, she was a key adviser - in ways we know and in ways we don't. These are the hallmarks of real diplomatic skill.
In a Pennsylvania speech, as she fielded unfiltered questions, the reasons for Hillary's election were ever more apparent. Her analysis of issues, foreign and domestic, is as deep as it is wide. In response to a question on renewable energy, her recitation on ethanol alone was doctoral-quality research synthesis. Her grasp of the foreign-policy implications of oil makes it clear that in Hillary's administration, the moon we will be shooting for is energy independence. Her position on health care is clear: We must spend our national resources - time, talent and treasury - on insuring all Americans. We can and must and will do better, if she is president.
I believe in Hillary because she learned to do what Ginger Rogers did, as the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards said in her address to the Democratic National Convention: She dances with the best of the guys . . . only backward and in high heels. And every woman in shoe leather knows what that means.
She's a woman navigating what used to be a man's world. Expectations are more convoluted, complicated. You have to be more prepared than the guys who get to cruise on their status. You have to build a network that includes men who'd rather you just wouldn't bother. You have to demonstrate substantive ability, diplomatic agility, and strength of opinion with skill . . . and above all, avoid being called the "b" word. You have to look good, but not too good. It's the kind of balancing act that could dizzy a world-class gymnast. Is it any wonder she sometimes has to recheck her footing on the political balance beam?
When Bill told his mother all those years ago that Hillary was the one, it took time for Kelley to understand why. Over time, she saw in Hillary a woman a lot more like herself than she first realized. Like many other women in America, I think that may still be true. As for the men in those lopsided boardrooms and corner offices, whether in Congress or in commerce, eventually it makes sense to them, too. Eventually, even if it wasn't their idea, they might give a gal a chance.
That's why it's Hillary. That's why it's now. Hillary is still the one.

Thank you Elton for raising money for Hillary. Hillary, you are the women for our country. We will survive with you as our leader. We all need you here in the "US". Come on the rest of "US left to vote, bring her back to the Whitehouse for all our own good. We love you Hillary and you will be our Commander and Chief. Keep the faith, you are the one for America and Obama is not [W]right for "US" at all. Vote Hillary for peace in the middle east.

Hillary was vindicated today. Check out Fox News, Blog Spot, President Clinton Honored at Irish American Event. The article mentions Hillary and confirms her envolvement. The Bosnia thing was an exaggeration not a lie. How many lies has Obama told but gotten a pass? How many ideas has he stolen from Hillary's play book? At least 10 that comes to mind on both counts. Christian's comment is well articulated. Good job, Christian!
I don't want an anti-American racist and his mini me wife representing us not only on our soil but world wide.

WHILE THE MEDIA IS BUSY CRAMMING OBAMA DOWN OUR THROATS and swift boating Clinton's campaign, the Straw Poll correctly shows Clinton is the true winner nationwide.
ABC NEWS on their political page (go look for yourself) has it Clinton: 13,755,568 and Obama: 13,858,246. Even if Clinton wins by only 6% (I think it will be more like 10%), she will be ahead in the popular vote according to ABC NEWS!
Michelle Obama is right …”We needs more white people.”
Talk to ABC NEWS if you don’t agree.
GO HILLARY!

Florida and Michigan --- That is the big deal!
That is why the status quo isn't bad for Clinton. If it goes to the convention and Obama and the DNC block Michigan and Florida delegations from counting, then the DNC will have a problem in the fall.
You cannot snub two big states like that --- no matter what the DNC 'rules' are.
Obama's campaign is going to implode --- due to Pastor Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Israel-Palestine, reverse racism, Obama's cockiness, Michelle's anger and more. Let's just hope it happens before August so the superdelegates can do what they're supposed to do --- nominate the strongest candidate to beat McCain in November.
