I don't believe you would support Hillary if you knew about her past. You're better off with Edwards than Hillary, but Obama will win.
I think that she'd be a pretty good president, because she has a lot more political experience than obama.
I'll be pretty glad at any democrat, parents are leaning towards hilary for the reason i just posted, but Im for Obama.
She is a criminal, but you make your own intellectual decisions, hopefully.
I like that Obama actually owned up to his own weed and cocaine use, even though its something he wasn't proud of but, it makes him seem more human and hopefully he won't be a liar on other subjects.
We want a human to be president, and Hillary is not human. I'm not saying she is a cyborg either, but she is not straight-forward with her personality. Clapping, smiling, cackling, waving, and stretching out her face is not going to get her the votes she desperately needs. Her husband, who cheated on her and lied, confronts audiences about the bad rep his wife is receiving, and it is entertaining to see them so upset about how poorly they have been doing. But it is too late for her now. She failed to be serious with people and that shows she is a bad communicator and she is hiding something, which is not what America needs right now.
Obama, although lacking experience, is passionate the same way other people are with the current state of the world, which has helped him. I'm both interested and skeptical to see exactly how he would like to approach this "change" movement.
Being the president's wife for 8 years is experience? She may have more than Obama, but neither of them have any experience worth touting. My favorite democrat is Bill Richardson. Being governor is far better experience than being a senator, and unlike Satan, Obama, and Edwards, he seems trustworthy. The other top 3 are only telling people what they want to hear.Quote:

I want to meet Billary so I can kick it in the balls!:D
She is married to someone that was IMPEACHED? Does this not strike anyone? She IS still married to someone that lied to her and the WHOLE COUNTRY ..... UNDER OATH.
I am not religious, so lying under oath for me wouldn't be a problem, but for someone who claims to be a religious family (the Clintons) its a fact of PRINCIPLE that a religious person, who follows the word of god would commit sins against their own god, and other religious yahooes are still supporting these people? The morals of the American people are astonishing.
For example, back in the civil war times, if you deserted/wronged your country you were as GOOD as DEAD.
Lying to the American people (plain and simple..... . . . should be SHOT)
Lying to his wife (this is a religious sacrament, that just shows it can be thrown on a whim.)
Getting IMPEACHED!! ( WHY IS HE STILL ON TV? THIS motha fucker should be shunned. or excuse me, Monica fucker should be shunned.)
I know I'm talking about Bill, AND NOT Hillary, but if I look at my parents who have been married for 30 years, they both share the same views and opinion 80+ % of the time. And I wouldnt doubt that MAN of a WOMAN Hillary, has the same 2mm backbone like Bill, and her being connected to that conspiracy Bloomberg(sp?) or something that I read was also quite uneasy.
i cant beleive that people actually beleive the crap that the canidates are spewing. all politicians lie. any one remember this "read my lips no new taxes" yet no one made a big deal about that lie. and that was on national tv because that is what the american people wanted to hear. so in other words they will say whatever makes them popular.
and hillary does have a lot more experiance in politics than obama. bein first lady is a job. not that either of the bushes wife actually did it but hillary and nancy did. they did speak to the congress and the senate they did introduce bills and the such. she has been involved in politics since the mid 70s. obama started his political career in 97. and as far as obama and his drug use well of course he had to say he regretted it he would have been torn apart by the media had he not said that.
the republicans well cant say that i really trust any of them and that includes paul. rudy i just dont trust, mitt scares me. mccain well im afraid he'll have a flashback. paul talks a big game but lets face it no matter what he wants its up to congress to make the changes he talks about.
all in all i really dont support any of the canidates. i think no matter who gets elected we are goin to get screwed. the one canidate i was most aligned with has no chance of bein elected and that was kucinich. can we vote none of the above?
yok I think you were on the right track about talking about political involment, however, when you say "being a first wife is a job" that made me wanna throw up and for these reasons:
When presidents are elected, via VOTES from the AMERICAN people,American people do NOT vote for the president's wife/son/daughters/mothers/fathers.
that being said, Nancy actually used the term "first lady" to ramp up this horrible horrible horrible war on drugs that every article I have read (i do a lot of reading, it might not show it through my grammar or punctuation, but I think I'm getting the bottom line) has said that its a bottomless pit of funding and man power, and that prohibition is the problem.
So just cause someone was the first lady because their husband was a politician, DOESN'T MEAN that the wife of the president should have any more power than that of a regular US citizen like YOU and ME.
Its like saying... you are on the board of leaders or whatever of a HUGE COMPANY.... and you and your round table of head honchos vote for a new CEO (this is pure theory). You find your man and he accepts and becomes the CEO...... then all of a sudden, HIS WIFE is using her position of being the WIFE of the CEO used that to get funds for the company to do whatever she sees fit as long as she can show the "company" that what she is doing is goooooood for everyone... SOUND FAMILIAR?
^^^ that is just like the fucking government..... so after reading my terrible run on sentences and questionable commas..... do you ACTUALLY THINK that being the first lady gives you political experiences?
The US government today is acting totally a different way then it did back when the constitution was signed. and for this reason I blame the "line effect"
you know when you were little in 4th grade and your teacher had a game that the students would stand in a line, and first person in line would be tolled something and by the time it was relayed to the back of the line it was completely different than the original quote?
This is how i see the government.... people are learning politics from other politicians... so the message is constantly getting jumbled through the sound of mouth and not the book the words......
but I'm sitting here with a cold, headache and chills..... and its the fever talking?
maybe politicians should self induce colds and flus so they can think clear headed like myself? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I support Obama in every way,
I question hilarys honesty,
nevertheless, any of the democratic front runners , obama, edwards & clinton will do a far better job than all of the republicans who to me seem like another GW Bush
On the Democratic side, I support Obama over Hillary. He seems honest and consistent, while she seems very calculating and somewhat deceitful. I am probably closer to her views on policy than I am to Obama, but I have a better gut feeling about him than I do about her. Edwards seems a bit prepackaged to me, and I don't agree wth his "two America's" view of the country, or his precipitous plans fro Iraq.
On the Republican side, I support McCain over most of the others for the same kinds of reasons. I think he is honest and consistent. I don't like Huckabee's Bilbe thumping. I don't like Romney's prepackaged and dishonest style. I don't like Giuliani's support for the Patriot act. I don't like Ron Paul's foreign policy or his economic theories.
Those are who I support, but I think Iowa will probably go with Hillary and Huckabee. The race will still be wide open after that.
When i said political experience, she has been part of the senate and since she was the first lady, she probably at least some sort of idea on what not to do (no sex in the oval office, no lying under oath) .
I agree with some of the posters, that there are no likeable politicians that I would like in there, but its going to be on of them and so you just have to accept it and try and make a decision.
Right now anyone but Bush seems good.
i never said it was right, i also never said nancy did a good job at it. but it is the truth. the gov't isnt a company. but maybe it should be run like one. but no matter what a person is in charge of , be it the gov't, a company or a house hold, the signifagant other has the most influence over their decision making. also hillary has been in politics longer than shes been married to bill. but like i said i still dont like her. i still wont vote for her. im just tryin to point out that she does have a lot of experience in poloticsQuote:
