Anyone reading the comments below can see that I have been unjustly banned.
The comment that got me banned was because I criticized Elizabeth Edwards on her judgment in health care for falling for the Clinton doublespeak. Clinton's plan has no mandates, because she says she will not forceably take your money. No enforcement means no real mandates. Elizabeth fails to see this very basic and fundamental problem - therefore her judgment is pretty off. Apparently the moderator doesn't like people criticizing Mrs. Edwards. This amounts to censorship in it's worse form. Nice job Huffpo. Thought you were progressive.

Bill Clinton Says Criticisms Of Hillary's Healthcare Plan Are 'Bull'
grow up much? posted 04/20/2008 at 02:40:50
I'm sorry, did Bill just say that Hillary's plan doesn't include mandates? Did I miss something? If Hillary's plan isn't going to garnish wages or fine people for not having the government's healthcare, then where is the mandate?
Just more Clinton double talk. This is why Bosnia is actually an issue. Apply their lying to their healthcare plan. If they aren't going to take people's money forcefully in some manner, how can they go out and say they have mandates? It doesn't add up, and she should've been pounded on this at the last debate. Instead, we get flag lapels. nice. posted 04/20/2008 at 01:47:47

Bill and Hillary's Biggest White House Stresses Were Self-Inflicted, and Obama Should Say So

Who Will be Thrown Under the Clinton Bus Next?
With supporters like this, it's hard for me to see how people think it's Obama people drinking the kool-aid.
HRC hasn't done a damn thing for Obama, and she's never done a damn thing for the Democratic Party that wasn't in her interests first and foremost. The sooner you learn that the better. You need a serious fact check. Obama raised more money for fellow democrats than anyone else in his 2004 campaign for senate. After his speech at the DNC National Convention he made himself a star. He won IL by a landslide and spent most of his time in other states getting other Democrats elected. HRC only visits other states to raise money for herself.
By the numbers, the Clintons are the worst thing that ever happened to the Democratic Party, and judging by the last 8 years, the second worst thing that ever happened to this country. More Democrats were forced out of office (local, state, and federal) during their presidency since the South seceded. They enabled the political environment that brought about the last 8 years. posted 04/20/2008 at 01:36:58

Obama Draws Largest Crowd Of His Campaign At Philadelphia Rally
You obviously are completely uninformed. Obama does extremely well in retail politics, IMHO, far better then HRC. His only weakness is what lamely qualifies as "debate." And it's hard to gather your thoughts when the moderators have no f-cking clue.
Debates really should be about a one or two issues a piece. Allow each candidate 10-20 mins to speak and/or present their major points, then open up for questions. That's how a true debate should run because it keeps the focus on the issues, not on stupid "gotcha" comments. posted 04/19/2008 at 00:02:04

Well, whether you agree or not, MoveOn members are *actual* voters. And Hillary has a three month long history of insulting *actual* voters. She's insulted over half the Democratic voters and over 66% of all states saying "they don't count." And the best she's got is a quote from Obama of him actually attempting to be empathetic to other voters. So while Hillary is marginalizing anyone that doesn't vote for her, Obama is trying to build bridges. posted 04/18/2008 at 23:27:32

Krugman: Obama Clinging To A Stereotype
babar77: Krugman clinging to not doing his job.
Next time Paul, you should read Obama's entire statements before picking his words apart and sounding more the ass than you try and make Obama out to be.
Your analysis of whether or not things were good in the midwest concerning jobs is so absolutely wrong it's utterly pathetic you collect a paycheck for doing it because one data point does not an argument make. Youngstown OH does not equal entire midwest. Plus the scale you use is horribly out of whack considering the swing is about 7%. This is a textbook example of how not to do studies and base opinions on those studies. What you should do is collect data throughout the entire midwest, then put that data on a scale showing % change in manufacturing jobs vs % change GDP vs % change in income vs % change in inflation to get a much better look at the region. posted 04/18/2008 at 13:55:24

Obama Campaign Won't Say Whether Tax Returns From 1997-1999 Will Be Released
He was barking because everyone knew the Clinton's have made millions - and those millions went into funding her campaign. We know from his already released tax returns that you won't find anything of interest because his asset/debt ratio is nowhere near someone who might owe favors, and none of his money has funded his campaign.

You wife is trying to do that now with gun control. Even though she's given speeches about the need to regulate guns, now that she's running in PA all of a sudden she's a gun enthusiast.

Is Content Worthless?
I see what's happening right now is an extremely good thing. It's just the progression of the wave that is sweeping though. What this blogger fails to realize is that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for media. We can look no further than the MP3. When MP3s first came out, 120 kbps were the rave, and manufacturers of MP3 players claimed that consumers were willing to give up quality for convenience. That convenience created a flood of low-quality MP3s on the market, Napster was loaded with these. Now the trend is reversing. People are starting to pay attention to the quality of MP3s they are purchasing because data storage rates and bandwidth to download became cheaper.
What I think this means is that at the end of this, what will give professional content it's value will be it's respectability, reliability, and the ability to make sense of all the noise. This is why Professional content is failing so bad now. The MSM is absolutely horrible at providing the three things I just mentioned.

Dear Nathan,
You responded quite childishly to this whole thing. Childish in that Obama had every right to weed down the delegates to make the process more smooth and efficient. You have made it clear that this is all about you. If it wasn't you'd be perfectly happy with any delegate that helps elect Obama. I will be the first one in line condemning you if you write a post about how the convention turned into chaos or whine about not getting selected. You've made your bed, now sleep in it. You are obviously looking for gain that is specifically personal to you for all your donations and volunteer time.

Principles be damned? Obviously you have no idea what principles are. A person can adhere to the same principles while choosing amongst different implementations. This is a perfect example. Obama's principles are to remove special interests and lobbyists from the political fold. Because of the huge amounts of money he raised without lobbyists and special interests in a system he created, he now can satisfy his principles whether or not he takes public money so long as he continues his pledge to deny PAC and lobbyist money.

Clinton Wants Bush To Boycott Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Hillary has made a fatal flaw in this analysis. She fails to realize that boycotts only work to bring about real change if your attendance is actually leverage. The lack of US attendance in the opening ceremony is no leverage whatsoever. It may have had some leverage if the US was actually respected throughout the world, but we aren't. Even if we still were respected in the world, boycotting the opening ceremony is peanuts compared to boycotting the entire games. This is the real problem of giving up the moral high ground. Nothing will happen, and quite frankly I'm tired of symbolic gestures, I want some real progress. That's all Hillary ever offers: symbolic gestures. posted 04/07/2008 at 14:50:12

Exactly. For the life of me I cannot see how the world would take a boycott from the US seriously right now. This is the main problem with giving up the moral high ground. posted 04/07/2008 at 14:41:27
Well this actually pushes me more towards Obama - but I was already there. Even before boycotts were being called, I wondered personally what a boycott in the Olympics would truly accomplish. Personally, I like the fact that Obama takes his time to truly think out his positions, and he only takes action when he feels that action can actually generate real change. In this case, I think Obama does have the time to think this through and he should.
Personally, I'm not so sure any boycott of the Olympics ever truly accomplished anything - other than a bunch of asterisks next to medal counts because major countries did not participate. The Olympics are supposed to be about sport - not politics. They are supposed to be an opportunity for countries to find common ground in friendly competition and set aside conflicts, even if it's just for a couple of weeks.
Plus, I wonder if boycotting the Olympics could actually have a reverse effect. The reduced media coverage might actually harm the causes your boycotting for. And if you think the state run Chinese media isn't going to spin a boycott to it's populace, you've not being honest with yourself. posted 04/07/2008 at 14:37:11

Obama: No Need For Foreign Policy Help From V.P.
Sorry Ms Fowler, but I see more cockyness and self-assuredness in your article then I've ever seen in Obama. I think Obama is spot on in his confidence that he is better than both Clinton and McCain in foreign policy. Saying you're better than these two candidates isn't exactly saying much. They were both wrong on Iraq, and McCain continues to be woefully off in lala-land in his assessment of how the war is going.
Military experience only helps in foreign policy in judging how to use military force. Any commander and/or general in the armed forces will tell you they are not the creators of policy, they are the implementors. This is a distinction that I believe gets lost on a lot of people - including yourself Ms Fowler. McCain still has problems getting Shia, Sunni, Iraq, and Iran straight, so he is definitely showing his weakness in actually creating foreign policy no matter how effective he might be in implementing forceful policy.
Hillary was dead wrong on her assessment of Kosovo's independence and made it clear she didn't appreciate the delicate situation that exists there. The day after she declared in a debate how great Kosovo independence would be in stabilizing the region, our embassy is set ablaze by 100,000 protesters. posted 04/07/2008 at 16:53:34

King: "I Can't Follow the Old Eye-For-an-Eye Philosophy"
Some people thing the "eye for an eye" is interpreted the wrong way. An "eye for an eye" is a recipe for repentance and forgiveness - not revenge. Meaning that if someone takes an eye from you, it means they should do whatever it is that equals giving you an eye back - not that you get to take theirs. And it also means that as the "victim" you are only entitled to an eye in return then you must forgive.
To use more modern terms, if someone steals $10 from you, they should give you $10 plus interest to repent. You shouldn't be entitled to $10 million. However, if someone kills your brother, in order for them to properly repent, they need to spend the rest of their lives acting as a brother to you. posted 04/04/2008 at 14:04:45

Even before this thing narrowed down to 2, I was taking a long hard look at the GOP candidates in case Hillary became the Democratic nominee. I knew back then she had a massive credibility problem, and I simple can't vote for someone who lies as much as Clinton.
It's not the lying so much that turns me off - some stuff can be chalked up to memory issues - but the Clintons are most obviously sell-outs. There is little to evidence that principles - rather than political expediency - guides their decision making. Hillary was always known for rewarding loyalty over merit - a serious flaw in by book. All this means I can't trust Hillary to actually implement the platform she runs on, or that the implementation would serve the people over corporations or special interests.
Yes, people like to point out some issues with Obama's credibility. However, there still exists a mountain of evidence that Obama lives by principles. Which makes it more probable that it could be memory issues or some other honest mistake because the stuff that people have found that actually show a break between words and actions are such minute little things. I have yet to see someone make a credible claim that he lied about Rev Wright, because every claim grossly misquotes Obama.

So you consider 2 weeks of looping Rev Wright sound-bites with the Rev Wright Watch, etc. etc. etc. objective coverage of a presidential campaign? Get real.
Objective news coverage is not defined by ratio of time devoted to each candidate, ratio of positive/negative stories, just simply repeating campaign messages, or repeating some conspiracy theory over and over again that that MSM won't pick up. Objective news coverage is defined by reporting the facts, and making sure they are relevant, and keeping the focus on the facts. Any opinions should be backed up with supporting facts and arguments while at the same time listing facts that do not fit your opinion.

Clinton needs to drop MI altogether. The entire Primary was declared unconstitutional - including the GOP primary. MI clearly has no one to blame but themselves.

I love how MI loves to state how their votes should count, yet they tried to squash the voices of third parties by not giving them the same access to voting records.
So now we have two states that can't figure out how to cast a vote: MI and FL. Michigan can't figure out how to run a constitutional election, and FL can't count. Personally I find their predicaments fitting. These states have had well over 100 years to get it right. posted 03/30/2008 at 18:41:58

Actually it would be your "hillaryheads" who do this. She and her supporters love to call out Obama on every point that Hillary is 10000x worse. That's like Jeffry Dahlmer calling out Zsa Zsa for slapping that police officer.
Example 1 - HRC: "Obama lies about money" Reality, for every 1 "lie" Obama might tell - HRC tells 20. Even lies about her lies, lies about Obama's lies, or lies about her lies about her lies.
Example 2 - HRC: "Obama takes PAC money!" Reality, the percentage of money Obama has raised from bundlers is at most 10-15% of his total money. The percentage of Lobbyist money floating around in Clinton's war-chest would be closer to 60%. When you take into account the over half billion dollars that Bill's Presidential Library and Foundation have raked in, her total war chest available to her can be as high as 95% Special interest money. Plus add in the fact that there's a TON of foreign money donations as well - which includes estimates that the Saudi's contributed as much as 50 million dollars to Bill's funds. But we can only speculate because the Clinton's won't release this information. posted 03/28/2008 at 15:06:30

Now Hillary is using lies, deception, and character assassination in the exact same manner as Bush. She claims to be the champion of the people and promises health care for all, etc.
But we should follow the money to find her true intentions. However that's impossible to completely do because of the roadblocks she's placing. Of the money we can follow, she's taken more money from the health industry than anyone else. So under Bush the US Treasury got emptied to put into the pockets of his friends in the defense industry and on Wall Street. Under Hillary, our own personal wallets will be emptied to fill the pockets of her friends in the Health Industry - the reason for the mandates and her claim of garnishing wages.
She is worse than Bush - because she's better at lying and deceit. posted 03/26/2008 at 15:44:06

You really need to put the sarcasm away when you are acting the bigger fool than the person you are criticizing.
"So, uhm...Hillary Clinton is to blame for Osama bin Laden being at large? Really? That's what you're gonna go with, Burton?"
Yeah, that's exactly right. HRC does bear some of the responsibility for bin Laden getting away. She refused to read the intelligence reports, and she authorized a war knowing bin Laden wasn't there. She and all the other Senators who voted for it bare some blame. Other Senators have recognized this fact, and apologized for it - practicality all Democratic Senators except HRC. But she refuses to admit she was wrong. posted 04/21/2008 at 14:45:41
