“Agreed. He's had a good run but he comes off as the world's biggest hypocrite not supporting healthcare reform when he himself has benefited from government healthcare.
We're a mixed bunch here in PA, but we aren't as dumb as Mr. Specter seems to think.
The true poetic justice would be if his cancer comes back once he's voted out of office.”

“He's a Fox News commentator - he's speaking to his base. This is the base that adores him, doesn't think anything he has done since first foisting Bush on us, then manipulating people, events and the press and outright lying in the ensuing years. Nixon had his base of believers too. there were those I would still encounter twenty years later who swore it was all a setup and he never lied about a thing. So too, we have Karl, Dick, and their tool George. That 28% out there that still think GWB is doing a good job amounts to some hefty ratings if you are Fox.”

“Its not HuffPo its the Clintons and their shady ties that keeps them in the news. This man is clearly suspect of fraudulent activities. There seems to be many people who find that he likes to LIE. So when you deal with shady people one becomes even more suspect than when doing ones own dirty deeds.

Clinton vs. Palin

“Obama fails to unite the democratic party by bringing the 18 million on board who voted for Hillary and now he expects her to clean up his mess regarding Palin. Obama referred to his wife's (Princeton grad and Harvard Law grad) speech performance as "cute".
Hmmmm seems we have a chauvinist in the lead of the democratic party which will only help McCain now that Palin is his running mate.
This is a lose-lose situation for all women.”

“CookieWrites, if you are referring to Barack's cute comment after Michelle's speech at the convention, I saw the comment and not just read about it. He called his wife cute, not her speech or performance. Now, I could make the argument that cute is what you call a girl, not a mature woman, but I get the impression that Barack is a bit lame in the romance department.
Barack is no chauvinist. He makes it clear in word and deed that he loves and respects strong women. Proof of that fact is that he married one and refers to her as the love of his life. That's good enough proof for me.”

“Hello, earth to CookieWrites! Even if Clinton had as many as 18 million votes, even before Sarah Palin most had come over to the Democratic nominee anyway. Any remaining out there still want to see HRC become the first woman vice president and/or president and will not vote to take that chance away from Clinton. Sarah Palin is uniting. . . the Democrats and women. . . against herself.”

“Not that I am a McCain supporter because I am not, but why must the Huffington Post participate in the chauvinistic behavior exhibited towards femaie candidates? No photos of Palin as Mayor or Governor, just photos of her as a beauty queen. So what is the crime in being a small town girl? Would you show the childhood photos of a male candidate? I think not. I don't understand how Ms. Huffington can call her a feminist and a responsible mother if she is going to use a woman's gender against her. Shame on you for behaving just like a republican.”

“Yes, the issue is bigger than Hillary. Women's issues are consistently ignored by the democrats and republicans. The democrats take for granted the women's vote and when they think they will lose it, they drag out the roe vs wade whip and beat us with it. It is time for women to register as independents and to refuse to give our votes unless we get something that we want in return. Four more years of McCain/Bush might teach the democratic leadership to pay attention to women.”

“One might think that women, like men, ought to consider what will improve the lives of most people and the country as a whole. Just say "No!", until we get what we want? Does that mean, if it is not a woman President, don't vote?
In this primary battle there was one disenfranchised group that was going to be mightily disappoint ed--either Afro-Americans or women. Hillary Clinton had everything going for her--except a good campaign strategy. That is no one's fault but her campaign team. That it was so close DESPITE having a poor campaign team shows how many other advantages she had--name recognition, the party establishment, a very popular ex-President hubby, and so on.
Hillary could have swept the primaries if she had, like all the others, owned up to her Iraq War vote being a mistake and apologizing. But, she didn't. That's no one's fault but her own.”
