Comments on: Candidates Fighting To The Finish In Iowa

Hopefuls Descend To Win Over Undecided Voters And Gain Momentum As Voting Season Begins

There is ONLY one Democratic Candidate that can win the White House, and that is Hillary Clinton.. She is the only one that the Republicans fear, and they keep pushing for Edwards, or Obama.. It''s a smoke screen, don''t believe the nay sayers.. The true Democrats will vote for Hillary because she has the most experience, and the best chance of winning.. Stick together this time. and don''t be fooled by the Republican Dirty Tricks Committee, as they are the American Taliban.. They want to put the women back in the kitchen, barefoot & pregnant

Is it just me or does anybody else feel like this early continuously vapid campaign coverage is all FLUFF.

As an old commercial once had an elderly lady state:

"WHERE''S THE BEEF" because all I''m seeing is an air-puffed bunch of nutrition-less hamburger buns being advertised.

Leadership or "playing to the crowd" I know what I''d prefer and it''s NOT someone that promises to kiss backsides to get the job.

Edwards/Clark ''08.

The republicans are fighting for the honor to come in 2nd place in November and the Democrats are fighting to see who will be the next president. There''s not a single Democrat running who won''t kick the living cr*ap out of any of the republicans. The Democratic nominee will be the next president (and the first REAL president we''ve had in 8 years) unless the Cheney people have him or her killed and make no mistake they will try.

Ron Paul has been banned from Fox News Republican debates!!! Why Fox? are you afraid of him and his true conservative message??!!!

Ron needs to run as a third party candidate, the GOP and it''s news media outlets like Fox News will not let him in and get his message out.

Ron, run a third party!!! America needs you to be heard!!!!

dshoup3, you speak of Romney''s lies. If your speaking of his commercials on Huckabee, then maybe you should state one lie that he mentioned. These are contrast ads, not personal attack ads such as Huckabees and Mccains.

[cfin5]

The political bill for "Tax''a''me Huckabee and The Legend of McCains triumph over the 1st. Amendment are just about due........

[jkojs]

NO more Clinton dynasty and corrupted Health Industry.
Its time to end 20 years of Clinton/Bush political
dynasty.

!!! ITS TIME FOR CHANGE !!!

Barack Obama once quoted " if the United States had not gone to war in Iraq, the US Army would have had more resources to deal with the greater threat in Afghanistan and Pakistan"

BARACK OBAMA WAS RIGHT ON IRAQ.

BARACK OBAMA WAS RIGHT ON IRAN.

BARACK OBAMA WAS RIGHT ON PAKISTAN.

BARACK OBAMA HAS RIGHT JUDGEMENT FROM THE BEGINNING.

BARACK OBAMA''s JUDGEMENT TRIUMPHS OVER HILLARY''S WRONG
EXPERIENCE.


!!! VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA !!!

Romney wins against the Democrats in national polls. That should be the only fact that matters.

[perception5]

......in other news Mitt Romney has re-taken the lead in Iowa.

A brand new ARG poll released this afternoon has Mitt Romney at 32%; Slick Huck at 23%, and McCain at 11%.

Apparently the Ameican people are starting to hear the truth about Slick Huck''s "real" record down there in Arkansas where the folks used to call him ........"tax hike mike".

[samthetvcat]

oops that should read ''work/hope'' dichotomy . . .

[samthetvcat]

%u201CSome people think you get change by demanding it, some people think you get change by hoping for it,%u201D she said, in a shot at her two main rivals, Barack Obama and John Edwards. %u201CI think you get change by working really, really hard for it every single day.%u201D


This is Hillary''s idea of change:

"I%u2019d like to see more of our aid shifted toward building civil society. I%u2019ve been calling for this. I have legislation that is bi-partisan, Education for All that is particularly aimed -- I%u2019ve talked to President Musharraf about the necessity for us to raise the literacy rate, to reach out with health care and education that would help the Pakistani people to really concentrate on civil society.

We should be working with these rather heroic lawyers and others who are in the streets demanding democracy instead of giving the Bush blank check to President Musharraf and the military.

* * * * *

By ''change'' I think Barack means he''s going to only spend money to improve healthcare and eduation for us. I think Hillary''s work/home dichotomy is misleading . . .

[perception5]

Voters are saying that the economy and immigration are the top issues in 2008.

That''s why I''m voting for Mitt Romney. Who else is qualified to run the largest enterprise in the world, the US economy but Mitt.

Mitt has heard the American people which is why most folks when polled support Mitt''s position.

For me it is about the "future" not the past.

And I wouldn''t dare vote for someone from Hope, Arkansas.....every again (Slick Huck and Slick Willie''s hometown).............Got me once not again.

[Ruidu]

Concerning Mitt Romney''s lies against Mike Huckabee, Arkansas has an old saying. %u201CIts your lie so you can tell it any way you need too!%u201D

BLAH.. BLAH..BLAH Such a waste of time for some of these candidates, as we all know they don''t have a shot in hell.( eg, what ever happend to Ron Paul?) Anyway, the blaming and the non support of the current President, for right or wrong, by any candidtae is a cheap shot at their own inability to express or be able to achieve success in this country. To slam another candidate is a sign of weakness and lack of intelligance. To complain, bolster, or degrade shows they are unable to lead simply because they cannot tell us what they will do instead, only to make promises of a grand nature that will not ever surface. Time to wake up the fact that just because they are warm and fuzzy and look into your eyes and sympathize with you does not make them qualified to lead a country of 300 million. Goodness gracious, sometimes the right candidate has to be a hard nose simply to get the job done right. GUILIANI is the right man. Clinton should go home to Ark.

Pastor Huckabee has the foreign policy experience to clean up the mess in Pakistan with one swipe of his arm. For example, Pastor Huckabee punctuated a point about hiring John Bolton as his foreign policy advisor yesterday by discharging his shotgun over the reporters'' heads. In the ensuing ruckus, he didn''t have time to mention that he is also advised by Kofi Annan, Henry Kissinger, and Mikhail Gorbachev. The other thing that has not been mentioned is an explanation of Pastor Huckabee''s comment about Pakistanis entering the US illegally. What Pastor Huckabee probably meant was that rather than coming in from Mexico, the Pakistanis could be smuggled in by cargo containers originating from the so-called geographically shared eastern border with Afghanistan. This would make sense because, as Pastor Huckabee mentioned, martial law is being enforced in Pakistan, so that everyone else must remain inside their homes which would allow terrorism suspects to slip into the containers unnoticed for journey to the US. Pastor Huckabee apologized for the Pakistani affair because he is a true Christian and that is what Christians do. And because he has a theology degree and he mentioned that most of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were clergymen, it carries extra weight with Christians, so he was able to raise $89,000 in the one day ''money bomb'' on December 27.

Voting for the worst policy decision in our life times does not make one ''experienced''. It -IS- high time America elected a woman as commander-in-chief. When a self made woman of conviction and talent stands up and demonstrates the character that can stand as an example for us all - we should stand behind her - with conviction and fortitude. Hillary Clinton is not that woman. She is the spouse of a former and popular President. In a nation, 300 million strong, are we to believe that the person most suited to be the President just happens to be related to the last President ?!
Are we really to believe this is the case ?
Will we make this mistake, again ?

Barack Obama has the strength and certitude to take America in a new and positive direction - a direction that our evolving nation - being formed all around us all as we pass through our daily lives - very much is in need of. There really is an immediacy of the ''now'' that we all share. We truly must begin to think big again and to face the immense challenges before us in brave and selfless ways again - like those people in the old faded photographs on our walls did - for us. It really is time to wake up again America. The time is, most certainly, now.

Barack Obama for President of the United States of America.

It''s time for America to Rise and Shine again.

this is what you will get with missery hillary as PRESIDENT. she were the same traiter coat as bush/cheney

at all has to do with saudi''''s and the king with the help of bush/cheneny.9-11 was all bush/cheney/and the oil countrys


The U.S. military has returned 10 Saudi detainees from the Guantanamo Bay prison to their home country, a Pentagon spokesman said Friday.

The transfer cuts the number of men now held at the isolated U.S. Naval station in southeast Cuba to about 275, a decline of nearly a third in the last year.

About 136 of the 759 people detained at Guantanamo since 2002 have been Saudi, the second-largest group after Afghans. The vast majority have been repatriated - despite the fact that more than 90 percent are still considered a terrorist threat.

The U.S. agreed to return the men with the understanding that Saudi Arabia will mitigate that risk, partly through a state program to reintegrate former detainees into civilian life, said Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a Defense Department spokesman.

Their detention has been a source of strain with Riyadh, a close U.S. ally.
