Comments on: Testy Exchanges In S.C. Democratic Debate

Clinton, Edwards, Obama Squabble In First State With Significant Number Of Black Voters

[searingtruth]

And here''s the second most disturbing part of the interview. Obama praises Republicans as the "party of ideas", and never mentions any of their crimes against our Constitution and humanity, just as he didn''t mention Reagan''s union busting, first masses of homeless on the streets, secret government, or role in starting us on the road to tyranny we now travel.

Once again, it''s really, really, strange and I urge all Americans to view it for themselves and make their own judgements. And by the way, you can watch him explain his top three priorities at about 34:05 minutes into the video.

"I think its fair to say the Republicans were the party of ideas for a pretty long chunk of time there over the last 10, 15 years in the sense that they were challenging conventional wisdom, now we''ve heard it all before you look at the economic policies you know when they''re being debated among the Presidential candidates it''s all tax cuts well you know, we know, weve done that, weve tried it, uh (unintelligible) that''s not really going to solve uh our energy problems for example."

And just what is wrong with using "change" as a political tool?
We want a change with the war in Iraq.
We want a change in the tax rate that will tax millionaires as they do the little people.
We want to change the porkmeisters in Washington, the old guard which accomplishes nothing more than the feathering of their own nests.
We want change in the way our schools and teachers are faltering.
We want change in the care of our infrastucture.
We want to change our unsafe streets into safe streets.
We want change in the way Americans are reticent to accept diversity.
We want change in the way our veterans are treated when they return form combat.
And, I could go on and on.

LOL! All 5 of the congressmen who were expelled from congress were DEMOCRATS. Both presidents who were impeached were DEMOCRATS.

*****************
Yes,it is certainly a stain on the modern Democratic Party that 5 of it''s members were expelled for supporting the Confederates in the Civil War.
And those two politically motivated attempts to remove Democratic Presidents certainly are painful to us.

Clue - when a person is actually guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors, as say Richard Nixon - they usually resign.

[Hillary doesn''''t feel or connect with the average woman because she has never lived the role of a typical American wife and mother.]

and a typical american wife and mother would likely be completely unqualified to be president ... go figure!

[tibu987]

Here is a message from the press in, I think, 1995:
"I am surprised at how many elected officials-even the good ones-spend so much time thinking about the mechanics of politics and not matters of substance. They have this poker chip mentality, this overriding interest in retaining their seats or in moving their careers forward, and the business and game of politics, the political horse race, is all they talk about. Even those who are the same page as me on the issues never seem to want to talk about them."
That statement by Obama in 1995 says loads about him and his use of the word "change".

[searingtruth]

I was shocked when I saw the rgj.com interview, and watched all 49 minutes of it a few times before I could believe it.

Obama was certainly admiring Reagan, and holding out the Republicans as the party of ideas over the last 10 or 15 years.

And he couldn''t even articulate his top three priorities if elected to office. Just vague statements.

I urge all Americans to view the entire interview, and I''ll post a few tidbits so hopefully you will.
ST


"I don''t want to present myself as some sort of singular figure. I think part of what''s different are the times. I do think that for example that the 1980 election was different. I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon did not and in a way that Bill Clinton did not. He put us on a fundamentally different path because the country was ready for it. I think they felt like with all the excesses of the 1960s and 1970s and government had grown and grown but there wasn''t much sense of accountability in terms of how it was operating. I think people, he just tapped into what people were already feeling, which was we want clarity we want optimism, we want a return to that sense of dynamism and entrepreneurship that had been missing, alright, I think Kennedy, 20 years earlier, moved the country in a fundamentally different direction."

Eight years as First Lady, planning menus and serving tea simply does not equate into all the experience Hillary would like us to believe.
Nor does having traveled to 82 countries equate into presidential experience. Hillary did not sit in on any national or international meetings.
Just more *** that Hillary would like us to believe.
Don''t fall for it.
I am an old guy (71) and I would like to see some young idealistic people get into to office and get the old, more than two term pols out of office. Just look where all that experience has gotten us in the last 40 years, not a very impressive record.
Only Obama fits that model, young, intelligent, idealistic, someone who can mediate with our enemies and better understands the position of the average American.

Yeah all true but many of Senator Obamas Present votes he was the only one not having the courage to go on the record, now you want to talk about how many votes he missed, yep really bad too.

And how long before he was going to tell Dem voters about the Rezko indictment the 17 year relationship with a federally indicted political operative and his appearance in that indictment, didnt hear any thing today either from his camp. This sure as hell would have been a big surprised when the trial starts right after Super Tuesday well how about it the slums in his district with no heat for 5 weeks in the winter and the 300,000 discount on his house when Rezko wife paid full price the same day for the adjoining lot.

[l00ker]

STOP WHINNING, Barrack Hussein Obama!!!

IT''''S a TURN OFF to the VOTERS.

Okay, I give up. You''ve convinced me that Hillary is the best candidate, and may she do your country well.

[thgdriver]

Obama has nothing to worry about now that John Kerry has endorsed him. BTW, it was nice to see Edwards up and about after Kerry buried that knife in his back.

[glossypan]

Races with no incumbent (retiring Senator:
Wayne Allard (R) of Colorado, Larry Craig (R) of Idaho, Chuck Hagel (R) of Nebraska, Pete Domenici (R) of New Mexico, John Warner (R) of Virginia, and probably Ted Stevens (R) of Alaska.

Democrats facing re-election:
Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Joe Biden of Delaware, *** Durbin of Illinois, Tom Harkin of Iowa, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, John Kerry of Massachusetts, Carl Levin of Michigan, Max Baucus of Montana, Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Tim Johnson of South Dakota and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia.
Republican incumbent races:
Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Saxby Chambliss of Georgia,
Pat Roberts of Kansas, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky,
Susan Collins of Maine, Norm Coleman of Minnesota,
Thad Cochran of Mississippi, John Sununu of New Hampshire, Elizabeth Dole of North Carolina, Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, Gordon Smith of Oregon, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, John Cornyn of Texas, John Barrasso of Wyoming and Michael Enzi of Wyoming.
*********
While most of the incumbents will probably keep their seats, I do not think it is a stretch to conclude that all the Republican retirees, except Craig and Stevens (criminal prosecutions), saw that the stream was too swift for them to swim against.

[nirak2-2009]

Don''t underestimate Obama, RowdyTexan2
At least he is prepared to talk and that is more than I can say for the Shrub who only talks republicans.

[thgdriver]

The Demonrats have controlled the Senate and House sense the midterms, what have they done? Nothing! Nancy Pelosi was not speaker of the house 4 days when she complained the speakers plane was not big enough for her fat aiss. LOL. Waddle right up to the Demon-ratic brainwash trough and swill down! LOL

[nirak2-2009]

hmh, Fred Thompson just quit the race
I could have told him that would happen LOL

[samthetvcat]

"In the 2008 election, 35 Senate seats are being contested. 23 of those seats are held by Republicans and 12 by Democrats.
Even an even split of contested seats would give the Democrats a gain of 6 (or 7) seats.
With an electorate that is, with good cause, ready to clean house, it is probable that Democrats will have a substantial majority to get the country moving forward again in 2009."
Posted by glossypan

Such confidence . . . how many of them are in the South?

[rowdytexan2]

I can see Obama too....

Iranian President:

Mr. Obama, what can we do to stop the US jihad against the Islamic states in the middle east...

Obama:

Well, when I was working down on the southside of Chicago, we got together some committees and raised some money those kids....

or:

Obama:

I don''t know, sir. I voted against the war, but Hillary voted for it! And so did Edwards...

The man NEVER has an answer!

[glossypan]

The Senate is presently composed of 49 Democrats, 49 Republicans and 2 independents who caucus with the Democrats.
In the 2008 election, 35 Senate seats are being contested. 23 of those seats are held by Republicans and 12 by Democrats.
Even an even split of contested seats would give the Democrats a gain of 6 (or 7) seats.
With an electorate that is, with good cause, ready to clean house, it is probable that Democrats will have a substantial majority to get the country moving forward again in 2009.

[thgdriver]

What"s more, I can see Bush out of it.

Posted by Iceman_1960

Bush is out in any case, term limits an all. It is very important that the Demons run Hillary or Obama or both for the GOP party''s sake. LOL

[l00ker]

South Carolina is a SOLID Republican state....

EVEN IF Obama wins it in the Primary... it''''''''s meaningless!!! It won''''''''t bring him any momentum.

Lucky him, though, the Blacks in S.C. feel VERY Obligated to vote for him.

Posted by metroduck75 at 02:17 PM : Jan 22, 2008



Okay. Better now.

[l00ker]

Barack Hussein Obama needs to stop destroying the Democratic Party... his manipulating and polarizing character and race devisive antics are only hurting America. Next thing you know he will be attending all the Black Churches in the South in an attempt to steal the vote. IF YOU SUPPORT OBAMA, YOU CAST YOUR VOTE FOR OSAMA.
