Though clearly uncomfortable, waterboarding loosens lips without causing permanent physical injuries (and unlikely even temporary ones). If terrorists suffer long-term nightmares about waterboarding, better that than more Americans crying themselves to sleep after their loved ones have been shredded by bombs or baked in skyscrapers.

In short, there is nothing %u201Crepugnant%u201D about waterboarding.

It''s clear he has no problems with it.

Deroy Murdock:

Murdock was named runner-up to Keith Olbermann''s "Worst Person in the World" on MSNBC''s Countdown with Keith Olbermann after writing an article titled "Three Cheers for Waterboarding", in which he called waterboarding "something of which every American should be proud."

Murdock himself is g a y. He also opposes the War on Drugs. Murdock is also a Media Fellow with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He was a communications consultant with Forbes 2000, the White House bid of publisher Steve Forbes.

Sorry, formrusmcsgt, but according to our constitution, everybody IS defined as a potential leader, as long as they are 35 and a natural born citizen. You can be a former gas station attendant, or you can be a former US Marine Corps Seargent. It doesn''t matter. the law is the law. Everything else is your opinion.

The one ability in a president that supercedes all others, including "executive ability" (and its broadly contradictory manifestations). That is THE ABILITY TO READ, UNDERSTAND, AND HONOR THE CONSTITUTION and to appoint those with that same ability in addition to their area of expertese.

I do not question that Hillary Clinton (along with others) has that ability. If the Bush/Cheney group had any executive ability, it certainly didn''t evidence itself in their list of incompetencies, and clearly their ability to understand and honor the constitution was lacking to the point of endangering our democracy.

That means Hillary is qualified, my butcher down the street is qualified, the school bus driver that goes by my house is qualified.

You obviously don''t know the definition of the word "leader".

Everyone is most certainly not a leader.

I think good judgement is more important then someones resume. Presidents hire experts toadvise them. If you hire good advisers you get good advise. If you hire bush''''s cronies you get Iraq.

I heard Lincoln surrounded himself with people who impressed him while disagreeing with him.
I guess he had a real distrust for Yes-Men. And enough guts to seek honest advice.

Hilary lost my vote when she claimed raising the $98,500 per person income limit to be taxed for Social Security would hurt the middle class.
Since when is $98,500 per year middle class? A dual income family at that rate would be considered, by her, middle class making $198,000 per year. Hilary obviously has spent too much time around middle class Manhattans.
Since she does not want to "overstress" these "middle class" Americans (and everyone else making more money than this all the way up to Bill Gates) with a tax increase, she instead proposes to raise the eligibility age for the rest of us "real" middle class baby boomers by half a decade at a time when we probably only have half to one and a half decades left in our lives. And to think I%u2019ve been paying into this pot with money taken from my paycheck every week of my working life.
Frankly this is something I would expect from Bush.

Our government was designed to be led by a layperson. That means Hillary is qualified, my butcher down the street is qualified, the school bus driver that goes by my house is qualified. It''s a civilian government.

[formrusmcsgt]

Hilary has more experience at everything in her little finger than the whole Bush family has combined.

She not running against a Bush, kunnuck. She''s running against people with credentials other than their surname.....

[gkc99]

Deroy Murdock? Any relation to Rupert? Sort of a family smell there.

[logicanada]

Typical NRO trash. I''m no Clinton fan but I have to respond to this right wing neocon influence peddling propaganda rag.

The Clinton campaign has been acting as if asserting a statement enough times makes it true. Is this 1984?

Hillary is an intelligent, articulate woman (and a very good politician) but never in her life could she claim, "the buck stops here". Not only is she not "the most qualified non-incumbent ever", she is not even minimally qualified. Since when does watching your husband do something count as experience? If so, wouldn''t this make Laura Bush as qualified as Hillary?

Hillary is the one who would need "on the job training" as an executive leader, not Obama.

She might do better than Bush, but so would my cat. What makes her the "most qualified" candidate?

And just look at the mess the USA is in with the experience of a shrub !

Lordy, lordy these people are something else !

[adian1-2009]

You seem not to like Hillary. Well, you better be ready! She will be our next PRESIDENT! I just can''t wait to see how are you and all other rotten republicans going to handle that reality!

[tejasdemo]

Lol

[connapa]

Last I looked, the US Constitution only requires that you be at least 35 years of age and a native born citizen of the USA to be elected to the office of President. I guess George W. just barely made it.

[tylenol6]

What the hell is Clinton''s experience ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[roger_inkart]

Good Lord. So, how scared are the brainless little fools at the NRO?

The NRO, who totally PIMPED Bush and his moronic foreign policies at every chance they could, have the audacity to impugn anyone''s credentials? Could you idiots look any more desperate?
