Hillary Clinton Tells Katie Couric Time To "Draw Contrasts" With Her Rivals

[starleo146]

Any woman who votes for Hillary just because she is a woman is just as stupid as a man who would vote against her just because she''''s a woman. As for the Oprah factor, she will attract the non-thinking stylish simpleton, but the majority of women take their vote too seriously to give it up to a self-centered diva like Winfrey, otherwise they would be looking for voting advice from Paris Hilton.

You know you have a great way of putting things just wanted you to know I agree and keep posting

The majority of voters will elect whoever runs on the Democratic ticket because the Republicans have screwed things up so bad in the past seven years that not enough people will trust them with another eight years.

[katg21]

Democrats will vote for Hillary because she is the only one that actually has a chance to win. They could care less about her, so called, experience or lack thereof. Most of them don''t even like her but they''ll vote for her anyway. I think that these people need to look up the word, SOCIALISM, in the dictionary because that is what Hillary is preaching.

Whichever candidates are the best prostitutes for big money and corporate interests will be the ones who get the most media attention.
This story is just more proof!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!
Oligarchy is not a good thing.

Many voters will vote for Clinton, Obama, or Edwards because they are the best candidates for the office of president...the Republican candidates have aligned themselves with the right wing part of the Republican Party who capitalize on spreading fear, creating enemies out of allies, and promoting torture as an effective means of combating terrorism. Republican candidates are harsh in their views and obviously represent the monied elite. We have had such for the last 8 years and look where it got us---a huge debt, more hatred toward America, and a loss of world prestige.

I''m not a Hillary fan, but I don''t think her ''experience'' or lack of it should be an issue, especially after electing Junior to the White House.

The constitution says you have to be a certain age and a U.S. citizen to be elected president. Period.

Now if you want to use experience as a benchmark to decide which candidate you''ll vote for, so be it. Other people might have other criteria more important to them. For example, many compassionate conserviate republican christians will only vote for "anti-abortion" candidates despite the fact that not one of these hypocrites have ever stopped one abortion after getting elected.

Some folks voted for Bush because of the "ranch and farm team" bumper stickers that made them feel better about voting for someone like them who was both a rancher and a farmer, despite the fact Junior grew up attending private east coast schools and riding in Daddy''s government limosine.

So there are lots of rational and irrational reasons for voting for a particular candidate. Unfortunately, you don''t have to be rational to be able to vote, or have children, or carry a gun.

I certainly do not see Hillary as our President to be a scary thing at all. I think she would do a GREAT job. I know one thing thing. The day this lousy stinking bush admin is gone, I will be ecstatic. But we will be years recovering from all the awful things they have done :(

[walt1944-2009]

The candidates stack up like this:
DEMOCRATS:
Hillary Clinton - A Zogby poll had her beating all GOP contenders lined up against her. Today, a new Zogby poll has ALL GOP contenders BEATING HER, including Mike Huckabee! What happened?
Barack Obama - states he smoked pot in college and, unlike Bill Clinton, he did inhale it!
John Edwards - Still thinks he is John Kerry''s running mate.
Bill Richardson - Has been almost everywhere and done almost everything; too intelligent to be nominated.
Dennis Kucinich - makes sense, the public love him, knows what to do, the press ignores him. All these qualities means he will never be President.

REPUBLICANS
Mitt Romney - Mr. Waffle!
Rudy Guiliani - In a rut with 9/11!
John McCain - Endorsed by Pat Robertson, an older clone of George W. Bush!
Fred Thompson - Mr. Potato Head.
Ron Paul - recently endorsed by a *** house!
Huckabee - Someone who will speak to God when he gets to the Oval Office.

SIG HEIL, BUSH!!!

omega39--I prefer "social war" to "class war" as many of the upper income members of the American working class think of themselves as "middle class"...petit bourgeoisie... and are as likely to side with the Oligarchs as they are to recognize their own class interests...just as in Germany where the Nazis represented the Oligarchs while appealing to the sentiments of the petit bourgeoisie and were able to fix blame for Germany''s defeat--with some justice--on the German Left.

[tibu987]

What is scary is that many women will vote for Clinton for the simple reason that she is a woman.
Many blacks will vote for Obama simply because he is black. Many would vote for Thompson simply because tthey know of him from TV.
The majority of voters in this country do not read all the media available, do not have any real information on the candidates past, their voting records, etc.
That is precisely how many lousy politicians made it to the top, on the backs of ignorant voters.
I expect that this presidential election will be the same.
Now that is scary.

"Who is the more foolish...........the fool or the fool that follows him?"

[realpatriot1]

Geezer62,

Sorry, I didn''t mean to attribute badaxmofo''s comments to you.

[realpatriot1]

Hopetrumps,

I don''t hear the media talking about race or gender, I hear people like you talking about it like it matters.

Geezer62 has come to the conclusion that the country isn''t ready for a woman or black President...based upon what? Certainly some Americans aren''t ready and never will be, but they don''t tend to vote Democratic anyways.

As far as Oprah supporting Obama because he''s black, I guess if you carry that logic through then it would be reasonable to assume that Pat Robertson supports Guliani because he''s white. It might be true, but in the absence of any supportive evidence to back up the contention it''s a racist contention.

Let''s say it is true. So what? Are you bothered when whites support white politicians? Is that inherently racisit to you?

I support Obama because he offers the best answeres to the problems we''re facing and he articulates a clear, strong, positive vision of the future that I don''t see from any of the other candidates in either party. I''m not sure if he''s more black or more white and I could care less. I think Oprah feels the same.

Obviously you have different priorities.

[tibu987]

Let me ask this question. Does Hillary have enough experience to be president?
Hillary keeps talking about how much experience she has.
I fail to see how her position as the First Lady during the Clinton years in the White House translates into the great political experience she would like to get people to believe.
I doubt that she sat in on Cabinet meetings, meetings with the military leaders, international leaders, debriefings by the FBI, the CIA, the SEC, and many other important issues.
What she may have learned is the correct way to brew tea and to serve it graciously with her little pinkie in the air.
Let''''s not be swayed by what Hillary and her backers would have you believe about her experience.
What it amounted to was a social experience and a brief term as a New York Senator from a relatively unimportant area.
Being Bubba''''s wife does not entitle Hillary to bash Obama or anyone else for the lack of experience.

[drivelphobe]

nolalou.....

Looks and the sound of a candidate''s voice are sufficient reasons to vote. People use these criteria to make spousal elections, employment decisions, and many other important decisions. Why not the selection of a Presidential candidate? Is it better to not vote?

[geezer62]

badaxmofo..."only time will tell, but I don''t think she stands a chance. The country is NOT ready for a female nor a Black president..too bad, so sad.

I think this comment say it all about you.

[gunownerdan]

The Clintons are both members of the CFR(Council on Foreign Relations) just like Bush, Cheney, Obama, Huckabee, Giuliani, Edwards, Romney, Biden, McCain, Richardson, and Thompson to name a few.
The CFR has hijacked the foreign policy of both parties and their main goal is to destroy American sovereignty and our constitution leading to the formation of a North American Union with Canada and Mexico.
Dr. Ron Paul is NOT a member of the CFR and he is the only anti-war and pro-liberty candidate running for president.

This is a story I received on Huckabee thought you should see where your right wing support is going.I can hear singinrick now

[starleo146]

Make no mistake, Huckabee can win this thing. None of his four main rivals -- Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson and John McCain -- can claim to represent the Christian right. His biggest problem is money: Apart from a few prominent bundlers culled from the ranks of Arkansas-based Wal-Mart, Huck has largely been ignored by the big-money players in his own party. But even here he is steadily gaining: After raising $6,000 a day in the first quarter, he is now racking up $30,000 a day, much of it from small donors. That money could enable Huckabee to compete hard in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, where his relentless God-humping figures to score big at the polls. "We''ve got to do well in the early primaries," he says. "If we do, there''ll be a total upheaval of the process."

When Huckabee talks like this, he sounds like what he is -- the Howard Dean of the Republican Party, an insurgent candidate who shot toward the top by appealing to a disaffected base. But Dean, who ended up stumbling out of Iowa with his balls stuffed in his mouth, learned the hard way that populist campaigns have a way of imploding under the glare of the modern campaign process. Which means: Charm only goes so far if you''re full-bore nuts. Huckabee may be able to get away with saying he''s not a primate, but he''d better not scream it.

[starleo146]

So far, Huckabee''s greedy past hasn''t prevented him from surging in the polls. Unlike the rest of the woefully underwhelming field of Republican candidates, Huckabee is a sincere, ideologically in-tune champion of a massive and frustrated conservative demographic. The fact that he is succeeding in spite of his obvious and undisguised lunacy is a testament to the desperation of the voting public, which is so hungry for a candidate who actually responds to its needs that it may be willing to overlook extraordinary levels of kookiness. That might also explain the stubbornly high levels of support for Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, who, though comparatively saner than Huckabee, have still been cast as the nutty uncles of the campaign''s interminable family drama.
