Comments on: Clinton: Ticket With Obama May Be "Where This Is Headed"

[pywakitt-2009]

Bush supporting McCain now thats a great team! They will continue to make the wrong choices and teach the youth of what it is to be such an ego fed robot. Bush has only been in it for money not for us! I hope they just go away!!! McCain is still in his own little mind war!

[pywakitt-2009]

Spoken like a man!! Wake up there are many woman that have surpassed many a great man! Fear of a woman for president is nonsence! Voting for a man just for his gender is rediculous!

[pywakitt-2009]

I understand that a woman in office, is still a factor in for many and it shows, but as I read in one of the blogs that she is worried for her kids if a democrat wins. Well good luck with that they may learn something on the true nature of a democratic country. Which has been lost for to many years. Those that want McCain the 100 year war fanatic, will find their kids fighting this 100 year war just as their lives begin. It seems that in being a P.O.W McCain would not want to put our youth in harms way for ego!

"She is the quintessential self serving political hack and wants to be president for self aggrandizement. Being in bed with corporate lobbyists, she will not change politics an iota."
- I somewhat agree. Since being First Lady, her M.O. has been to get into the Oval Office herself. Don''t forget we called them "Billary" for quite some time, and for good reason. I do wonder about her sincerity, whether or not she is in it for herself, or in it for all Americans. With Obama, there''s no question he''s in it for us.

"As an Independent, I support Obama not because he is all that I would like to see in a President, but because of the promise and potential that he might change the way politics is done in this country."
- THIS is what "I totally agree" with. :)

"She is a hegemonist and a militarist in the tradition of the hawkish politicians of this country." - Eh, not so much. I like the idea of a balanced government, but if we want true change to come about, it will have to be with one party in control of all three branches. We''re at a stalemate right now, and nothing is happening.

"Obama speaks about %u201Cchanging the mind set that gets us into wars". That difference is critical at this juncture." - Agreed.

[austinang-2009]

Okay, "totally agree" was a poor choice of words, I admit. Let me break it down:

"It is clear from Sen. Clinton''''s idea of including Sen. Obama as her running mate is that she recognizes she has no chance of winning the general election without him."
- I do agree with this point. Who else would she choose?
"Well known as a divisive force, she has further alienated a lot of people by her Machiavellian tactics (use race, religion, falsehood, etc.), as she has done in Ohio & Texas, and she knows it. She is dishonest, but not stupid. She knows she needs Obama, but Obama does not need her."
- Again, I agree. There have been some rather childish low blows to Obama. I don''t necessarily agree that she''s made all the blows, but when you have campaign staffers do the dirty work, it''s guilt by association.

"While a woman President would be welcome, she is not it."
- That I don''t agree with. Like I said before, if she gets the nomination, sure, I''ll put a Hillary sign in my yard and vote for her.

Like I said, most likely I will be voting for McCain because if I do Obama or Clinton, he will force my kids to participate in *** ed at a young age, will allow people to abort kids right before they are born(Do you know how aggressive hospitals are to try to convince you to abort your child, especially if they have a disability?) and make it harder for my kids to understand what it means to be a man. If I was raising girls, or if my sons turn out gay, then I guess I would be ok, but since they are straight, they are going to have a lot of hell to deal with in this world. These groups try to force religion out of schools, yet at the same time, they are forcing their own "religious" ideas on our children which if you look at things at a long term perspective, it hurts more than it helps, especially as a people.

AustinAng, you really totally agree with all the negative things msiddique1 has to say about Hillary? How can you defend Obama and then participate in behavior that is the exact opposite of his message? Unbelievable.

[austinang-2009]

msiddique1, I totally agree. Obama will hopefully change the way out political machines are run.

Whoever said they are voting for Ron Paul... seriously?
He wants to repeal Affirmative Action. He wants to repeal Roe v. Wade. He wants to abolish the minimum wage. He supports offshore drilling, no fuel production taxes, mining on federal land, and conservation efforts.

He might as well be Charlton Heston as far as guns go. He''s opposed to separation of church and state. He opposes gay rights.

Do you really want another President that doesn''t believe people can make choices for themselves (religious, personal, or ethical), that only the rich should get tax breaks, that would destroy our environment, and that would drive our school systems into the ground even more?

Oh wait, you might want to reconsider McCain, too.

[democrat101]

msiddique1, the beautiful thing about this country is that we have the freedom to disagree. With that said, it is obvious with whom your allegiance stands and no amount of bashing will change anyone%u2019s mind. Interesting though how negative and degrading you can be while at the same time championing Obama.

Oh Whoa is me. I cannot believe there are so many uniformed people in this country. How can anyone in their right mind believe that Obama would come within a million votes of winning the election against "Old What''s His Name" McCain? In looking at the maps of the country where Obama has won against Hillary, those are Republican strongholds like the southern states and Nebraska. Obama only wins in the largest cities with high numbers of African American voters and highly educated rich white men voters. That highly educated rich white men crowd likes him only because he "inspires" them. Whow! That means Obama gives a good speech but I question whether he has ever walked into the Senate and inspired anyone "across the aisle" in the Republican hate mongers pit, to vote for any proposal Obama has sponsored. Oh and by the way what legislation has Obama sponsored that made a big difference anyway? Anyone without an agenda, if you do the research, you will vote Hilary without a doubt! Get over it, Hillary wins against "Old What''s his Name" McCain without a doubt. If you want another 4 years of the Bush agenda, vote for Obama because the Republicans will win in November!
