Plenty!!!! Her husband was President first of all. She has been in politics longer than Obama....I am not really crazy for any of them, as long as it is not a Republican. We need a good strong person in the White House who can put a dent in fixing the problems that Bush has left us with...see what happens when you put a Republican in there, A mess!!!!Please, no more Republicans in office....
Hillary is much stronger component than Obama...Obama is weak...His talk is good, but can he walk the walk?...seriously, I doubt it very much... |

"I find O'Bama weak. He is a meek little dog that runs with his tail between his legs... "
Based on?
Open dialogue is exactly what we need. Not another cold war. Hillary's position is to not speak with anyone until they agree to our terms. |

This is laughable. Just imagine any male, applying for any job, speaking about his qualifications and saying "Well, my wife did it for a while." I sincerely hope that the first female US president is someone more like Nacy Pelosi, who made her own way, than like Hillary, who rode her husbands coat tails. I'm sure Hillary is bright and might well have done better than Pelosi had she established her own career, but the fact is that she chose not to.

This too is quite a stretch. She can't claim her husband's resume as her own. At least 16 of her claimed 35 years of experience aren't worth much more than any other politician's concubine. |

That's rich. I hope you're not voting - because a vote is a terrible thing to waste. Given this logic, you are a world traveler and a native Russian speaker - because you hang around people who are.
There is no doubt that Hillary is one smart person and has had quite a career that many would envy. But her experience in US politics dates to November 7, 2000 when she was elected to the US Senate. It's really not quite fair to date her political experience back to 1978 when her husband was elected governor of Arkansas. Many would say that she violated election rules to obtain the seat she has today.
Using your logic, we can base Hillary's experience upon the resume of her husband. Do we want a lying, deceitful, above the law person in the White House? Not me.
I'm voting for Jimmy Carter. |

Danbrew, sometimes you are on a different page. I said that I really wasn't crazy for either, but Hilary has more experience and I am not basing that on her husband...but she knows her politics. I don't think we need another republican in there...look at the mess we are in. It seems that every time a Republican is in office the US gets in a mess, ect. Obama is too young and inexperienced, he talks a good talk, but he is weak and won't be able to stand up to European governments. Who hasn't violated election rules or any rules in politics...hell, when was politics honest...
I am voting. Don't be puss...  |

An old joke about that time come to mind, about Hillary's ex from her college age, working now at gas station, and Bill is like had you married him, your husband would work at gas station -- No, then it he who wuould be a president. |

I guess, a person would have to be a rocket scientist to understand the old joke. |

| Apparently it takes rocket science to elect Congress and a President who actually protects the US Constitution by the people, for the people instead of all this democratic Neoliberalism Socialists crap for the past few decades. Vote Ron Paul. It's time for "we the people" of this Republic to rid us of this government corruption against our Constitution, IRS, Private Bankers and hood hoopla. Before someone decides to repo due to "enity" government debts. |

not all republicans in our recent past have been bad. Ronald Reagan, for example, was one of our better presidents of all time, imo. he stabilized our economy and improved our foreign relations (especially w/ the Soviet Union).
as for our current candidates... they're all sad.
the thought of Hillary is terrifying. She's just a big moose w/ an even larger mouth that doesn't really say anything significant. if you remember, good old Billy boy, her cover (I mean husband) was for educational reform as well and didn't do anything to improve our school system the 8 years he was in office. it actually got worse. (surprise!) she's not going to be elected anyway b/c I honestly don't see her getting the bid.
as for Barak, all I've heard him say is that "it's time for a change". alright... so, uh... what are you planning to change, exactly? there are loads of things that need changing. which are you going to focus on? he's banking on the hatred for the republican party as well as his ethnic background to get him votes and it just might work b/c no one really cares that he doesn't say anything at all. *HOWEVER* too many racist white hicks vote to let him win the election.
and McCain... he used to be cool a few years ago when he was a moderate. now that he's trying to get the bid (that he's pretty well guaranteed anyway), he's changing his position on things he should've stuck by. sad... he'll win, though, b/c the combination of southern, white-supremacists, democrat-hating bible thumpers, and people who actually have real reasons to dislike Hillary or Obama w/o regard to discrimination will outnumber those who would vote against him.
we need someone in the middle to bring balance. I'm tired of the dichotomy. as long as it's republican vs. democrat, we're never going to accomplish anything and America will continue her rapid descent. unfortunately, Ron Paul (who really is a decent candidate w/ a solid voting record) isn't known and his affiliation w/ the Republican party and Texas (even though he's from my hometown) are enough to have him hated by those who *do* know his name.
also, DISCLAIMER: I'm registered Independent and I vote for whomever I find to be the best candidate after months of research (including career voting records, current platforms, what work they've done to make those platforms seem obtainable, etc.). I always choose who I think would be best for America overall rather then whether or not I agree w/ them. and if no one seems fit to run our country, I write in a candidate (even though that could mean my vote is the only one they'd get). |

Ya, Ronald Reagan was good. If I had to pick favorites not including the founding fathers it would have to be JFK. That's just me. I prefer doing the "laws of this land" deal and defending our constitution. There is only one running mate that even comes close. Ron Paul, and he is strict Constitutionalist.
Can anyone tell me which Russian President it was that sent one of our Presidents a hand made Russian tapestry scroll ? I forget. I seen it in a Library once as a 4th grader. I was wondering if it was online, because I wanted to read what was written on it again as an adult. Anyone know ? |
