Her record stands tall because of all the sh*t piled on top of one another. If that is what''s important to you, then what about her deceitfulness on Columbia and NAFTA; Bosnia stories; she is in the middle of the biggest campaign fraud trial ever; donations by the Columbia Gov. to Mr. Clinton for him to lobby for them about free trade; her top staff want the same thing; she doesn''t have the experience thats been the biggest drive for her candidacy...the list goes on. - Reply to this comment
- Whether you''re Clinton,Obama, or McCain your big dollar contributors give money with different motivations. Some do expect to get some favor in return for it. It''s up to the candidate to decide what they''re willing to do for the money!
It''s up to us---the public---to assess how we think these different candidates are going to respond to the people giving them money! - Reply to this comment
- Factcheck.org:
In a new ad, Obama says, "I don%u2019t take money from oil companies."
Technically, that''s true, since a law that has been on the books for more than a century prohibits corporations from giving money directly to any federal candidate. But that doesn%u2019t distinguish Obama from his rivals in the race.
We find the statement misleading:
* Obama has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses.
* Two of Obama''s bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for the presidential hopeful. - Reply to this comment
- old300d,
I don''t understand how he ''lost you'' and that he is a phony on one issue of this kind. He told the president to take a position on it. I think there are more important issues than that here at home. If you feel that way about Obama you must have been totally lost with hearing the other candidates deceitful positions. - Reply to this comment
- Sounds like you need to do a little more research on your own candidate about corruption.

I''ve known my candidate for years! Good and bad, and her record stands tall!
Obama has presented himself as something he''s absolutely NOT!
Even McCain is better than this Chicago shill! - Reply to this comment

- He is going to owe alot of people favors.
Alot of the Dem leaders think he will follow the Dem line and not question them. Kind of like he did in church.
Clinton may not follow the line so well. - Reply to this comment
- Obama is the envy of all! Everybody supports him both the rich and the poor!

- NO AMOUNT OF MONEY CAN JUSTIFY LACK OF EXPERIANCE, HYPOCRITICAL ACTIONS, UNQUALIFIED PLANS, AND CONTRIDICTORY STATEMENTS. OBAMA IS ELUSIVE AND A STILL A MYSTERY, AND UNTIL HE GROWS INTO HIS ''SUIT'' FOR MANY YEARS, HE CERTAINLY IS NOT READY TO LEAD A COUNTRY. PS. THE CLINTON ERA IS OVER- LETS MOVE ON.
