Mr. Obama is hurting himself as he jeers at Ms. Clinton...and he so obviously does not have the experience to know how tired people are of this ***.

He should be just concentrating on what he''s going to do since he has a lot of catching up to do before he''s allowed to be president.

At one time I might have voted for him if he had come out as a strong candidate in his own right. There is more honor in speaking of yourself highly, than tearing down someone else, especially if you are the inexperienced underdog.

This is going to be enuff of a nasty campaign just to get a democrat nominated. The republicans would tear him to shreds.

Hillary has already been there, and still comes out strong against them...I want her at my back.

Healthcare? Romney has a plan that isn''t going to obtrude on this country''s superior healthcare research position and standing in the world via government mandate. For instance, it used to be that healthcare costs for a family were somewhere around 800 bucks a month. Well now they''ve gone down to about 120. And they might even go lower than that. No government interference.. no beaurocracy. 45 million people not covered by healthcare isn''t that many people ya know.. Especially today. When you''re in transition between jobs, your healthcare often gets cut and moves with you. I''ll betcha people are jurying up the numbers on that one a bit, exaggerating for the sake of drama. Healthcare has never really been a problem in this country except for the price of drugs. And once you allow generic drug manufacturing, those costs will come down too.

Also, blond isn''t the way to go for first woman president. Blonds tend to be too showy.. Too relying on looks. Just a little socio-psychological perspective there.. *sniff*

Well, Clintons got many flaws. For one, her husband, whose ilk probably think his sexxxxual affairs were no ones business but his own. If they were no ones business but his own, why were they on my teevee set? And second of all, I really didn''t like what she said about not talking to representatives of other hostile countries. I hate to break this to you champaign committees, but thats your job (yours too Condi). You guy get the easy part (talk''n). And thats supposed to be one of the reasons why people elect you. Because you got that tongue that does the nub thing. She''s also a very very unspecific aka vague politician. Its almost like she doesn''t owe anybody any explanations. That we should just trust her. And we''ve all heard that before, only her trust doesn''t seem to be from something familiar (the Christian right), but something else (I don''t know what that is).

Also, shes touting experience, and she''s a junior senator. And from what I understand, she hasn''t accomplished very much for New York other than raising the price of cigarettes.

For being a new democratic academic (the election of the first woman president), she sure doesn''t seem to have very many fresh new ideas.. does she.

Most Americans just don''t seem to care that our country, along with the Constitutional principles upon which it was founded, are being flushed-down the toilet by our nations ruling elite. While most of Congress and the President warn and insite fear in the sheeple about the prospect of terrorism, they at the same time fund and conduct illegal wars overseas which do nothing but encite the terrorism they say their new Draconian Laws like the Patriot Act and The Real ID Act are here to protect us from. Think about it. What would you do, if someone invaded the U.S. for no reason, and took over. You''d be mad as hell, and you''d be making trips to their country in order to give a little payback. Wake up America! It''s not about protecting you from terrorism, or saving our planet from Global Warming, or any of that fear-mongering garbage the tube feeds you 24/7. It''s about feeding the military industrial complex and facilitating the ruling elite''s ability to ratchet-down control over the American people, placing them into a total control grid where they can surveille, track and monitor (control) everywhere we go and everything we do. It''s the groundwork for totalitarianism. I weep for my country, and for those who are so distracted, dumbed-down, or outright brainwashed by mainstream media, which endlessly regurgitates scientifically-crafted streams of information aimed at keeping their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them, that they fail to recognize this. Go Ron Paul!.

Hillary Clinton ran on the promise of all the jobs she was going to bring here to upstate NY in 2000, she hasn''t brought any. She was elected to the Senate in 2000, Obama in 2004. To me the diffence in experience is four years. And Obama has had state legislative experience to narrow that gap. If elected we know that her husband will be one of her advisors, but who will be the others. And who would Obama choose. That seems the most important. Hillary has a very high negative rating, approaching 50%. Can the Democrats make her the nominee and risk that she would lose? She would be a lightning rod for the GOP to focus on. I think Obama should turn up the heat, particularly in the area of foreign policy. She browbeated Obama on his willingness to meet with our enemies. Maybe we should hear some of her concrete ideas instead of dancing around the issues. If we end up with a choice of Hillary and Rudy, I think we as American''s end up losing because we need two better choices.

Unlike Hitlery and the so-called GOP frontrunner, Giuliani, Dr. Paul fights for the right of an innocent, unborn child. He believes the right to life is at the heart of the American ideals of liberty. His professional and legislative record demonstrates his strong commitment to this pro-life principle. In 40 years of medical practice, he never once considered performing an abortion, nor did he ever find abortion necessary to save the life of a pregnant woman. In Congress, he authored legislation that seeks to define life as beginning at conception (HR 1094). He is also the prime sponsor of HR 300, which would negate the effect of Roe v Wade by removing the ability of federal courts to interfere with state legislation to protect life. This is a practical, direct approach to ending federal court tyranny which threatens our constitutional republic and has caused the deaths of 45 million of the unborn. He also authored HR 1095, which prevents federal funds to be used for population control. Many other GOP candidates, except Giuliani, talk about being pro-life. Ron Paul took direct action to restore protection for the unborn. As an OB/GYN doctor, he delivered over 4,000 babies. That experience made him an unshakable foe of abortion. Many of you may have his book, Challenge To Liberty, which champions the idea that there cannot be liberty in a society unless the rights of all innocents are protected. Ron Paul respects the dignity of human life.

Dr. Paul., an OB/GYN physician, has been the national leader in preserving our Health Freedom. He feels that Americans are justifiably concerned over the government''s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), in order to comply with standards dictated by supra-national organizations such as the UN''s World Food Code (CODEX), NAFTA, and CAFTA, has been assuming greater control over nutrients, vitamins and natural health care providers to restrict your right to choose the manner in which you manage your health and nutritional needs. He introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117, to ensure Americans can receive truthful health information about supplements and natural remedies. He supports the Access to Medical Treatment Act, H.R. 2717, which expands the ability of Americans to use alternative medicine and new treatments. He opposes legislation that increases the FDA''s legal powers. FDA has consistently failed to protect the public from dangerous drugs, genetically modified foods, dangerous pesticides and other chemicals in the food supply. Meanwhile they waste public funds attacking safe, healthy foods and dietary supplements. He also opposed the Homeland Security Bill, H.R. 5005, which, in section 304, authorizes the forced vaccination of American citizens against small pox. The government should never have the power to require immunizations or vaccinations.

BOY!! It must be SOOOOOO frustrating for the left-wing loons in this country these days! I almost feel bad for the nutjobs. No matter how much distortion that they throw into the blogosphere through Media Matters and DailyKos, or how much of Sugar Daddy Loonball Soros'' money they spend, or how many weekly conf calls they make to their congressional patsies, or how much the mainstream media bends to their ideology, they just cannot get ANY traction in this country. A candidate who says troops will probably be in Iraq through 2013, who labels (rightly) the Iranian revolutionary guard as a terrorist organization, who won''t take any options off the table with Iran, who''s husband publicly bashes the 9/11 conspiracy wackos is leading every major poll and every early state in the left-wing party''s presidential nomination process....and not just leading, but holding more support than all the MoveOn.org approved candidates (Kucinich, Edwards, Gravel, even Obama now) combined!! In an election that gives the looney left the best chance they''ve had in decades to make a run at real power, even the Democratic primary voters (the most liberal people in the American electorate) are running away from the looney left...it must just be soooo frustrating for you loons....I feel for you, I really do, I swear.

I agree with Dr. Paul on the Social Security issue. Our nation''s promise to its seniors, once considered a sacred trust, has become little more than a tool for politicians to scare retirees while robbing them of their promised benefits to pay for militarization. Today, the Social Security system is both broke and broken. Those in the system are seeing their benefits dwindle due to higher taxes, increasing inflation, and irresponsible military spending. The proposed solutions, ranging from lower benefits to higher taxes to increasing the age of eligibility, are NOT solutions; they are betrayals. Imposing any tax on Social Security benefits is unfair and illogical. In Congress, Dr. Paul introduced the Senior Citizens Tax Elimination Act (H.R. 191), which repeals ALL taxes on Social Security benefits, to eliminate political theft of our seniors'' income and raise their standard of living. Solvency is the key to keeping our promise to our seniors, and he introduced the Social Security Preservation Act (H.R. 219) to ensure that money paid into the system is ONLY used for Social Security. Also, it is fundamentally unfair to give benefits to anyone who has not paid into the system. The Social Security for Americans Only Act (H.R. 190), which Ron Paul supported, ends the drain on Social Security caused by illegal aliens seeking the fruits of your labor. We must also address the widespread desire of younger workers to save for retirement on their own.

I want to report a major fire, friends. CBS isn''t reporting it. Our Constitution is on fire. And it''s currently being burned in Congress. See H.R. 1955, a.k.a., Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007. I couldn''t believe it. Apparently, activists with Web sites are really begining to anger the elite insofar as they are publically holding officials accountable for their evil. The bill passed the house on Oct 23, in spite of Congressman, Ron Paul''s opposition. The right to free speech on the Internet is gone, my friends. Look it up for yourself, and weep for your country as I have that our rights have eroded this far. Here''s a short excerpt from the bill''s DEFINITIONS statement: "The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be utilized to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism." Here''s another excerpt from the bill''s FINDINGS statement: "The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens." And guess who get''s to decide what is "terrorist-related propaganda?" You got it! The Department of Homeland Insecurity, an agency that''s answerable ONLY to The President. If Ron Paul isn''t elected, our country is doomed!

Any Christian who votes for Obama needs a serious rebuke from a fellow Christian. How dare he put on this phoney "Gospel" farce by allowing an openly gay preacher join the tour? He thinks he is attracting the religious vote? Lmao didn%u2019t take him long to step out of the sheep suit did he? Can%u2019t really call him a wolf Lmao! He''s an obvious coward!

I attend one of the largest most "hated" (by the left) churches in San Antonio (hint hint LOL). And I can tell you this, this nonsense from the democrats trying to immitate "people of faith" has backfired on them. Instead of attracting us, it''s engergized us to get out the Christian vote in 2008 - Expect a surprise in 08!!!

Obama is right about Hillary. She does not state her position clearly.

She also has a lot of baggage we do not need in our White House. She is guilty of a great many things-Whitewater for one, the missing files that seemed to just turn up, the mess her husbands administration was in, the turmoil this country was put through, and she is not a good Senator. She only wants the power of the position. She is no more qualified to be President than I am!! And yes, even though it was her husbands position at the time, we all know it is also the wife who helps behind the scenes. She was up to no good either as the wife of the President, and also caused trouble. For her to lie and say she didn''t know he was having other women is an affront to all the women of this country. She is a joke to most of us women.

Get her out of this race. She also only won in NY because Lazio was an unknown and entered the election too late in 2000. This last time, the GOP did not have a good State party leader. Minarik would not back Faso either causing us to lose the Governorship.

I liked Obama until I heard him say the shrub and President Cheney have done nothing that deserves impeachment. Then I realized he lacked the judgment to be President. All Republican war criminals who have lied to this country to justify their Iraq invasion have committed treason and need to be rounded arrested, incarcertated at Gutanamo, prosecuted (with lawyers for their defense), convicted and then shot (without blindfolds so they can anticipate the bullets).
