Former First Lady Is Clear Front-Runner, But Significant Obstacles Remain

[starleo146]

Where is Congress? It''s way past time for members to stand up. Historic matters are at stake. The Constitution is being trampled, the very form of our government is being perverted, and nothing less than American democracy itself is endangered -- a presidential coup is taking place. I think of Barbara Jordan, the late congresswoman from Houston. On July 25, 1974, this powerful thinker and member of the House Judiciary Committee took her turn to speak during the Nixon impeachment inquiry.

"My faith in the Constitution is whole; it is complete; it is total," she declared in her thundering voice. "And I am not going to sit here and be an idle spectator to the diminution, the subversion, the destruction, of the Constitution."Where are the likes of Barbara Jordan in today''s Congress? While the BushCheney regime continues to establish a supreme, arrogant, autocratic presidency in flagrant violation of the Constitution, members of Congress largely sit there as idle spectators -- or worse, as abettors of Bush''s usurpation of their own congressional authority.

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 amount of political experience she would like to have people 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, NSA, and many other important meetings and issues.

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 any of the other candidates for their lack of experience.

As an independent voter, male, old timer, veteran, someone who follows all the candidates records as much as possible, I worry about how the 2008 election may turn out.
Many women will be voting for Hillary simply because she is a woman.
Liberal and Blacks will vote for Obama simply because he is black and eloquent.
Southerners and some women will vote for Edwards
simply because he is a good ''''ol boy from the south and nice looking.
Celebrity mongers would vote for Thompson simply because they recognize him from the Law and Order TV show.
And so on.
The average American voter does not read much, is uninterested in following politics, watches too much TV and movies and/or, if they vote, may vote a straight ticket. This bodes ill for the literate, intelligent voters out there who are in the minority.
Cynic that I am, I do not look forward to what the 2008 election will get us.

Hillary is heading for a downfall. All my friends who are democrats can''t stand the woman. The amount of money she has collected warns us that she''ll be liable to too many wall street types, and worse than that she will be another George W. Bush as she kowtows to the military industrial complex. Hope nobody will vote for her because of her gender, and she''s too conservative too.

Clinton is another rabid gun-banning extremist just like Gore and Kerry.
With over 60,000,000 gun owners in America, that''s a lot of votes!

McVett must have been thinking of the kind and compassionate treatment Barney Frank has always received from the GOP.

To this day, GOP shills repeat the lie that "Barney Frank was running a prostitution ring out of his apartment," when in fact Frank had no knowledge of it, and when he found out about it, he fired the guy who was running it, and notified the House Ethics Committee.

MCVEtt,

Give me a break! You don''t think the repubs were hard on Craig? He certainly didn''t get the Tom delay treatment for his political "sin" and he certainly wasn''t given his day in court. He was given the Mark Foley run and hide til after the next election treatment.

So what did the dems do to this guy trying to but his way out of a public indecency charge with his Senate business card?

The Larry Craig situation isn''t about the protection of rights for law-abiding Gay people, it''s about unwelcome hitting on people in public restrooms.

There are plenty of personal ads and matchmaker websites and bars he can go to, he doesn''t need to be trolling public restrooms.

I agree, but often the law doesn"t.

You wouldn"t like it in prison.

Below is a cautionary tale of a man facing five years in prison for defending himself (with his fists only) against a drunk who had chased him on the street and physically assaulted him three times.

It''s pretty hard to punch someone out when they''ve got a gun pointed at your head.

RE: "From a supporter of "Rudy Comb-Over."

"A comb over or combover [what, no hyphen ????] is a hairstyle worn by bald or balding men in which the hair on one side of the head is grown long and then combed over the bald area.

A variation of the combover (whereby baldness is concealed by long hairs combed in three separate directions) has a U.S. Patent 4,022,227 by Donald J. Smith and his father, Frank J. Smith, of Orlando, Florida, who were awarded an "Ig Nobel Prize" in Engineering for their effort.

Such is the interest in this hairstyle that a one-hour documentary - Comb Over, the Movie - has been made about it."

No Larry Craig is just a man that enjoys a Wide Stance and some toe-tapping at the airports during his free time! Lol.
