Is past, prologue?

Please see the article in the liberal Nation magazine by feminist writer Katha Pollitt on Bill Clinton%u2019s alleged involvement in the Juanita Broaddrick sexual assault scandal (http://www.thenation.com/doc/19990322/pollitt).

Also, the original Washington Post story on the same subject written by Washington Post mega-star Howard Kurtz(www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/special/cl inton/stories/broaddrick022599.htm).

The Juanita Broaddrick interview in which she talks of her personal experiences with the Clintons can be seen at. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KZ8ICvutc0)

labombaOH: Simple: Obama. Their policies are virtually identical, although they try to differentiate themselves for campaigning purposes. So what''s the clincher? Clinton is boring. Her speeches are boring, her answers calculated. Remember the last two losing Dem candidates, Gore and Kerry? Insufferable bores. What do people remember most about Reagan? His eloquent speeches and his ability to inspire, not his policies.

Obama is inspiring. Clinton is boring.

Be carefull what you pray for and in the meantime search on yahoo or google the article written by Steve Sailer on Obama''''s Identity Crisis. Speaks volumes about the core reason that many won''''t be brainwashed into putting Obama in office. This is not a man for all Americans.

Croft777 - Blah, blah, blah. You represent the same kind of politics that the Clintons are peddling. Hillary Clinton voted with Bush on everything from Iraq, NAFTA, Iran, etc. etc. etc. then she and Bill lied about it. That is exactly what we saw in the 90s: divisive, dishonest politics as usual. Many Dems believe that Senator Obama is the right choice for the challenges of our time. Almost as importantly, many believe (Dems, Indies, Repubs) that Clinton is the wrong candidate who will only ensure 4-8 more years Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton divisive politics that has paralyzed our government. Hillary Clinton will loose a general election.

Oh by the time the primary is held in my state the election is decided as if it is not already, we are essentially down to three the others are just not aware of it yet and in the end none of the candidates that are running or have run for this race is worthy of a singular vote they will all bring us 4 more years of the same with a little window dressing. Only thing is the curtains to the White House have been auctioned off and sold to the highest bidder and it is not the commom man whom has purchased it. When the election comes to my state I am writing in my dog as he is more honest and qualified than any that is running.

Fellow patriot, as I said before both candidates voted for the Treason Act (Patriot), the Torture Act (Military Commissions), and the abolition of Habeas corpus, and will not acknowledge their error or pledge to remedy it.

So I''m curious as to how any endorsements, by anyone, could dissuade you from this reality.

I ask only because I know you to be a long time defender of our Constitution, and advocate of prosecuting Bush''s crimes against it.

Are they no longer crimes if Democrats do, or allow, them?

YES WE CAN.. BOB THE BUILDER ....lol yeah right. Obama is a cartoon character I saw him on a Walmart birthday card, they were making fun of him. Hey Hillary was on one too, but hers was sweet.

I don''''t look forward to four more years of the Clinton twins with their political baggage and how beholden they are to entrenched Washington pols. They are part of Washington''''s "good ole boys" club, part of the problem, not the solution. There is nothing good about that. This Country is in the mess it is in because of the last 40 years of ineptness, arrogance, corruption, loss of world stature by our Washington pols. The complacent old timers need to be voted out. We need fresh, young idealistic people who can muster the strength to change the partisanship that has divided the U.S. Two terms maximum, 6 years max for president. Yes, it is "change" we need, not more of the same.

Whats the deal with these % and numbers on the blogs. Is CBS tagging people? What the U % and numbers stand for? Thats creepy.

Those endorsing Obama include longtime peace activist Cora Weiss; Katha Pollitt, columnist for The Nation; Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times writer Margo Jefferson; award-winning women''''s rights historians Alice Kessler Harris and Linda Gordon; Barbara Weinstein, president of the American Historical Association, and Ellen P. Chapnick, Dean for Social Justice Initiatives at Columbia Law School. Susan Sarandon and Francis Fox Piven signed on Monday. ...

The group based their opposition to Clinton on "her seven-year record as senator." Despite her recent pledges to remove troops from Iraq, the group stated, Clinton''''s "record of embracing military solutions and the foreign policy advisers she has selected make us doubt that she will end this calamitous war."

COMMON SENSE. BARACK OBAMA NOW OR NEVER
HE IS THE REAL CHOICE. IM4BARACK

I guess thats going to mean never.

I don''t base my vote on other people''s preferences. Hillary has been a dedicated and hard worker for her constituents and for the American people. I did not like her Iraq vote, either, but she was under the gun from the media, her constituents, and national sentiment. It was easy enough for Obama to be against Iraq in Chicago but Hillary was a U.S. Senator from New York and under different pressures. I doubt Obama would have been so anti-war if he had held national office. Besides, if he felt so strongly about Iraq, why on earth would he endorse Lieberman over Lamont who was opposed to it? It makes no sense except that Obama is just as much a game player as the next politician.
Also, why was Michelle Obama reluctant to offer unconditional support to Hillary should she become the nominee. She was reluctant...said she would have to assess Clinton''s tone among other things. It is obvious that the Obama''s are not uniter''s they pretend to be. Michelle appears hostile to me and not attractive as a first lady at all.

[andersenme]

There is no incentive for Sen. Obama to accept an offer of the vice presidency from Hillary Clinton, as unlikely a prospect as that is anyway.
Hillary Clinton in the White House means a co-presidency with Bill.
Why would anyone what to take a position that, while it may be a heartbeat from the presidency, is also second fiddle in influence and power?
Who with any self-respect would accept being second-guessed and undercut by Bill Clinton?
The Clinton-Obama ticket idea is being floated by Hillary''s trained seals in part to create a sense of moral equivalency between the two candidates--to the enormous detriment of Barack Obama.
The Clintons have nothing to say to a generation of young people looking for authenticity, honesty and transparency in their leaders and in their government.
That''s why more and more, young people are turning to Barack Obama.

Well, tomorrow is Tuesday and I still have no one to vote for in the California primaries.

I''ve asked the supporters of Obama or Hillary a few times to point me to a public campaign speech link where either of them have pledged to restore our Constitution on the day they are elected President, but no one has even been able to point me to a link where the word "Constitution" is mentioned.

I''m sure there are many others in the same position as I am since Edwards dropped out, so if Hillary or Obama supporters want us to vote for their candidate all they need do is point out one public campaign speech where a simple promise to restore our Constitution has been made.

And that candidate will get my vote. And I''m sure the vote of many others. And it''s a close contest, so every vote counts.

Otherwise we''re being asked to vote for candidates who have voted for the Treason Act, the Torture Act, and the abolition of Habeas corpus, and will not acknowledge their error or pledge to remedy it.

I mean honestly, how can you vote for the "Patriot Act", the "Military Commissions Act", and the abolition of the foundation of of justice for over 900 years, and not at least apologize?

Feminist Leaders Oppose Hillary, Endorse Obama
Posted February 3, 2008 | 07:40 PM (EST)

More than 100 New York feminist leaders released a joint statement Sunday afternoon criticizing Hillary Clinton and supporting Obama for president - evidence that Clinton''s support among women activists has declined significantly in the days before the super-Tuesday primary.

Clinton''s support for the war in Iraq was the leading reason she lost the support of the group, which calls itself "New York Feminists for Peace and Barack Obama!" "We urgently need a presidential candidate whose first priority is to address domestic needs," the group added.

Those endorsing Obama include longtime peace activist Cora Weiss; Katha Pollitt, columnist for The Nation; Pulitzer-prize winning New York Times writer Margo Jefferson; award-winning women''s rights historians Alice Kessler Harris and Linda Gordon; Barbara Weinstein, president of the American Historical Association, and Ellen P. Chapnick, Dean for Social Justice Initiatives at Columbia Law School. Susan Sarandon and Francis Fox Piven signed on Monday. ...

just-a-note
Well Obamas church is very racist, you can check it out for yourself. Whats bad about it is that they gave a high award to Farrahkhan who is a black muslim leader who has much dirt on himself.

[croft777]

We voted for change and Obama is the only one who can make that change happen.
Do you want four more years of the Clinton twins?


NO! I want 8 more years ofthe Clinton twins!!!!Go Hillary!!!!!

Why would we need young faces? I think I''d rather have someone mature in office. Someone who has lived awhile. CLINTON!!!!

[mediapreachr]

There''s nothing wrong with being young and idealistic.The problem is that exactly these kind of people are being used everyday by the more evil ones.
Even now what''s left of some young and idealistic persons are being dug up from Verdun.
Bottom line- americans remember they were living pretty good during the Clintons and they might want an encore.
It won''t be the first time people voted with their wallet.Regards.
