Only the young and dumb would say such a thing. As a 60 year old, and with a husband of 70 we are active and I will place my brain power against most folks..
It is not age, with age as long as the person is active and we are...working with horses and keeping our land up gives us much to do. McCain has been troubled with cancer...he is also getting very forgetful. I remember Reagan and his taking little naps when in meetings with Nancy nudgeing him and giveing him the answers. But not all people age the same.

I believe Enstein was just fine as far as his brain power...McCain's Mother is a pip and she is in her 90's. It has nothing to do with age it self..it is the person. McCain is loseing it. posted 04/02/2008 at 09:45:56

You think California or New York is going to vote Republican? New Mexico was less then .1% difference between Clinton and Obama...you think New Mexoco will go Repub? Just because Hillary won those states, many very close...you think they are going to go McCain? No...And if Clinton was not working againt a fellow Dem and for the Repub, and if she had not made kissy kissy with Richard Mellon-Scaife, getting support from him. The man who is the father of the Right wing and donated 1.8 million to throw Bill down.

Hillary stood by her man, because she knew that was the way to get where she is at now...but she is meeting up with the man that wanted her husband impeached and imprisoned. Who backed the Slime Boaters againsto Kerry...that wants to see the end of the Democratoc party . But Hillary will meet up with him and his far right paper. Beware of Hillary...she will sell out to anyone that will get her the oval office. She has the morals of a two bit hooker. posted 04/02/2008 at 09:01:04

Why were the clips taken from sermons 6 years apart and played over and over again. But Obama's speech was once,...and who saw his 45 minutes on the economy and the 45 minutes on Iraq and how he was going to get out of it.?

7 years ago people were misled to vote for Bush...then four years latter, even knowing that he was a Dud..they voted for him again. Why? Lies, spins and more lies against his opponent. And it worked..why? because people want to be spoon fed. They can not be bothered to check things...

Hillary is a lier...point, blank, period.

We say we want change, but not too much, lets get back the chaos we know...the depends what "is" is. Bill Clinton on all things fair..it's all party politics.

Why not check to see what he has done...

On April 6, 2006, Sens. Obama, Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), and Tom Carper (D-Del.) introduced the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (S.2590). The bill would require the Office of Management and Budget to create a searchable online database of all governments contracts and has been hailed as a "Google" for federal spending (including loans, various grants, contracts, and other financial assistance).

Katrina-Obama went to New Orleans with former Presidents Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush to see the displaced citizens and the damage done to the city.

Obama threatened to call hearings on the slow response by the federal government and with Sen. Tom Coburn also called for President Bush to create a "chief financial officer to oversee Katrina spending."[10] He ultimately proclaimed that the Hurricane was a "wake-up call" that should cause lawmakers to have "a serious conversation about poverty, which should not be a conversation that's caught up in the all the dogmas."
There is alot that Obama has done working across the aisle.

You do not get it..IT IS NOT ABOUT POPULAR VOTE! GOds! It is about delegates. If it was about popular vote there would not be any delegates. Even in the national election it is not popular vote, it is electorial votes.

They take the primary votes, add the caucus votes and at coutny conventions they get the total delegates. But you have to have supporters who will work...that are excited. That is why Obama does so well...

Now Texas Delegates will meet in June and unless there are delegates that have changed their minds...Obama will get his delegates. posted 04/01/2008 at 01:03:52

Obama said he would abide by what the DNC said...it was their laws and Hillary and Obama signed the pledge. Then Hillary broke it.

His name was not even on the ballot in Mich. The Mich legislature went into session to do something about a revote. They came up with a caucues, Hillary said no. They came up with 50/50 Hillary said no...they came up with mail in vote, Obama said no because they had only til june and have never done it before...so too much could go wrong. Plus the time for over seas voteing with people being in Iraq and all.

Obama is still saying that they should all be seated. So you think a jr. Senator has all that power..? Poor Hillary being so abused by that inexperienced young man. Hillary is lieing again. Pointing fingers, saying over and over again what she knows will upset the most people. Worked too didn't it?

With Florida the republican gov and legislature with help of Democrates caused that mess. Gov Chris knew what he was doing. When asked why he moved the primary up, did n't he think Dean would stand by what the rules were? Chris said no. It suprised him.

So the rules are made to be broken..or does it only matter if Hillary Clinton is loseing and needs the votes?

And your idea of a National primary is called a National Election. Now how exactly would the candidates get to all 50 states, campaign and have the population get to know them, and the candidate them..all at one time?

So small states are penalized? It's only large states that matter...its only primary states...its only states that Hillary wins. And if a candidate wins a state, you get to say if they deserve that win?

No, Hillary is not a feminist. Being a fem is not showing how tough and hard you are. I can not stand those women that use their womenhood, that is not what the women's movement was all about.

Obama made a speach about women and equal pay for equal work../.so when Hillary was First Lady and she did all that work...why did she not work to get the ERA passed, or Equal pay?

You do not seem to understand...you are not guarenteed a vote in a primary, this is simply a tool to get the noninee for you to vote on. The primary is to get the nominee and if the numbers make it impossible for a candidate to win then we have a nominee.

So what happened to the repub primary after Huck dropped out because of the numbers? Did McCain still continue so that those voters would have a vote? Of course not. It was over because their nominee was chosen. So when the party, who runs the primary, decides the numbers can not give the other candidate a win...then the candidate is the nominee. You are guarenteed a vote in November.

The longer this race continues the more harm is being done between supporters. Our candidates will come together...they will fight for the other to beat Mccain because they do not want to hurt the country...and Mccain will.

Obama is the representative of the new more progressive wing. Bill clinton, while he was in office lost not just seats..but power. Remember the welfare reform act? That through people off of that social net with children and no backup. DOMA. which is a nod to homophobes everywhere. Remember the Contract On America? That is what the Clinton's brought us.

Then I looked into Obama..I researched his background in Ill and what he did in the senate there, and in DC. I heard his speach at the convention...he has an an interesting life story, his mother was amazing...and he will do what is so neccessary for us..unity. Hillary will bring the GOP together and if she wins the whole time will be a tug of war on everything. Obama has true cross overs, not just Limboacrates for the day.

We need to much and if it is not accomplished our nation will suffer and we will be harming our children. So Obama winning, not just for his smile..though that is awesome...but for logical reason is commonsence. Hillary is playing dirty games, and Bill practically said, bring it on.

Hillary supporters say that but when I ask for specifics they hem and haw and I never get an answer. Now in the world of internet and Google if it is in this world, it is googleble. So google and provide truth.

Now Obama suppoorters can be attack dogs when our candidate is treated unfairly or lied about....that is fact, but i keep trying to find where Sen. Obama said anything except in correcting misstatments. posted 03/28/2008 at 12:34:28

The syphllis experiments are true. It happened...Clinton appologized for it while he was president. And if that is true it is not far fetched to take the leap that the HIV AIDS was created also. Though the Syphliss experiment was not giveing syphllis to the men, it was finding men who had the disease and giveing a blacebo and not the medicine that they had. They told the men that they had Bad Blood...the disease was passed on to wives and the children they had. So where is the stretch that this country would not do any thing so horrendous?

Those men suffered horribly, was followed throughout their lives and saw only the gov. doctors.

Ciocccholly,
Blathering? I listened to the Rev. Wrights sermons, and he does not blather. Some of his sermons are uncomfortable, but they are not racist, sexist, antisemetic or hatemongeromg. They were intended to hit your heart and brain... for the listener to be touched...and they were, so was I. And I am not even Christian. Rev Wright was talking about something that was not just Christian, but justice and compassion and love.

He was a marine, he sometimes has shocking language..but his heart is good and his and he cares about others. posted 03/31/2008 at 03:06:38

Strange Fruit
Lewis allen

Southern trees bear strange fruit,
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root,
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze,
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees.

Pastoral scene of the gallant south,
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth,
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh,
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh.

Here is fruit for the crows to pluck,
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck,
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop,
Here is a strange and bitter crop. posted 03/31/2008 at 02:40:48

Check out how many black senators there are...1
How many woman-16

How many black govenors-4

I would say that Sen.Obama would have the biggest impact. Hillary might talk about the glass ceiling, but Sen Obama can talk about sitting under a roof that was built by slaves rented out to the government.

Ok...so I guess while he was in Springfield, Ill as a state senator he just rushed home to be in church every Sunday in Chicago. And I guess while he is in DC he does the same thing...And while now that he has been campaigning the last year he just rushed back to the South side of Chigago for church. So have you heard all of the sermons? But of course not...because if you did you would realize that the one comment that was made," G** D*** America, was repeated from what someone else said...a White man...Ambassitor Peck.

So what if Hillary did not bother to read the NIE ? So what if she voted for Bush to get what he wanted...oh well that is a mistake. But then she voted with Bush on Iran. There was one person that was holding Bush from that...Fallon, now he is gone, McCain is singing Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran. The Two pastors who endorsed McCain, one of which Mccain calls his spiritual advisor; Parsley who says we as a country was created to kill Muslims...and Haggee that McCain chased to endorse him...that war has to happen in the middle east for the second coming. And this is the man who Hillary would rather have then Obama?

I want you to do a little search...find a ling where Obama is saying anything negative about hillary. Not correcting her in what she has said...but that he has started any thing negative. posted 03/27/2008 at 19:24:11

It is hard not to come back with a real hard word for you...but this bickering between sides will only get us another Republican. That will mean down ticket we will lose, healthcare will lose, at least 2 more conservative supreme court justices,more corporate wellfair, more jobs lost and more poor, more kids going without, more kids with substandard education. I do not want this.

But I will not allow a lie either. We have the right to stand up for ourselves, but not to throw the first rock.

Please know that what is being said is not always true. Spokes people get invoplved, supporters get involved, and sometimes the main folks know nothing about it. We need to be Democrates and put the mud where it will do the most good, on McCain. posted 03/27/2008 at 18:45:04

so being educated is being an elitist? So what is being an uneducated bigot?

...Hawaii is over "seas" but it is America. His grandparents were lower middleclass people...his mom put her self through school as he did.

Obama's grandfather sold furniture after ww2.... 1960 moved to Hawaii where Ann (Obama's mom ) married an African student at age 18. Then married an Indonesian, moved to Jakarta, became an anthropologist, worked for the Ford Foundation, championed women's work, helped bring microcredit to the world's poor.
.
Said Maya, Obama's half-sister, " her philosophy of life - to not be limited by fear or narrow definitions, to not build walls around ourselves and to do our best to find kinship and beauty in unexpected places."

"She was a very, very big thinker," said Nancy Barry, a former president of Women's World Banking, an international network of microfinance providers, where Ann worked in New York City in the 1990s. "I think she was not at all personally ambitious, I think she cared about the core issues and I think she was not afraid to speak truth to power."

Raised by a single mom..who worked, got her education and made her mark in the world...through her own will and drive? He was raised by a mom that had her home filled in Jacarta with leaders in the Indonesian human rights movement, people from women's organizations, representatives of community groups doing grass-roots development.

As a resident of Louisiana and New Orleans still reeling from the incompetance of Bush...maybe Carville can call attention to that wonderful city.

Lunitics? no..free thinkers and mostly people who do not judge...also Democrates and Obama supporters. Remember that Falwell said Katrina happened because a gay aPride parade was going to happen. We have had enough bad mouth we do not need anymore, not to put down Carville...we just give more ammo to Clinton supporters. posted 03/29/2008 at 01:20:11

Why does everyone say He sat in that church for 20 years? What did he do, go from Springfield to Chicago for church services each sunday? Does he travel to Chicago from DC for services now? How about when he is on Senate trips? does he fly back for services from Kenya or Jordan? He said there were times he was not there. So far with all the trying they can not find Obama in the pews in any of the videos shown. And I would imagine Obama and his family would be prominent in them.

Has anyone with problems with Rev. Wright watched all the videos? Have they seen the videos that were not used? How about if what Wright said was so common in that church...why was there 5 years inbetween the blurbs?

Seems to me that it is just like being given only certain views of saddam and his WMD. We were lied to so that someone could get what they want...they made this country into a bunch of easily led fools. Watch all the videos...see that they are NOT really what you think or are being led to believe. Is someof what Wright says uncomfortable...yes. But then isn't part of the reason for a pastor to make their flock uncomfortable enough to change? Me, I am not even Christian, nither am I black...but I want facts and not be led like a puppy dog on a leach. posted 03/30/2008 at 14:19:48

Third Clinton Volunteer Knew Of Smear E-Mail
A third volunteer for Hillary Clinton's campaign was aware of a propaganda e-mail alleging that Barack Obama is a Muslim who plans on "destroying the U.S. from the inside out."

Shaheen: Did Obama sell drugs? (Shaheen an advisor for Hillary.)

Hillary:" attacking other Democrats is the "fun part" of this campaign..."
http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/1207/Shaheen_Did_Obama_sell_drugs.html

Recently, Hillary Clinton's campaign has picked up on this charge. In a March 27 conference call with reporters, Clinton spokesman Phil Singer claimed:

Singer (March 27): Sen. Obama has often referred to himself as "a constitutional law professor" out on the campaign trail. He never held any such title. And I think anyone, if you ask anyone in academia the distinction between a professor who has tenure and an instructor that does not, you"ll find that there is ¦ you"ll get quite an emotional response.

It was reported today that more Hillay supporters would not vote for Obama then Obama voters would vote for hillary...do you wonder why?

Because you are being stuffed with propaganda. In other words...Hillary has been spinning facts. I want you to go on line...everything reported is there. Now track down the truth.

1- The states of Florida/Mich. did not want to pay.
2-The states have to have all the primaries done by June 3.
3-That also includes all ballots being sent out and returned to the military and all over seas citizens.
4-Then if the States set up a way to get all the votes...the DNC must agree.
5-The private people that wanted to pay for it were all Hillary supporters.
6- There is more...check out that Hillary would not agree either...but points the finger at Obama.
7-Obama said over and over that eh would abide by the DNC.
8- But no matter what, the states had to come up with a plan first.
9-Obama said that each taking 50% would have been good. The delegates would have been seated and the states would not have made a difference as punishment for breaking the rules.
10-Hillary said no. posted 03/26/2008 at 22:27:28

Funny that there are white folks that belong to Wright's church. Racism? prove it.

Seems so many people have been spoon fed the 30 seconds taken out of 40 years of sermons...but they can not bother to go to YouTube to see the contexts that that 30 seconds came from.

It is much easier to think the worse...to allow the media to again pull the wool over the eyes of America, the media carried the drum beat for Iraq...pushing it with lies and spin...so that their rateings are kept high...don't allow the media to put more bucks in their pocket by lieing and getting by the really better sense of the American people.

Mich. has always had caucuses before but since the Mich. Gov is a top supporter of Clinton...they changed it to a primary, then moved it up to be a bigger player in Hillary winning.

So they broke the rules...rules that Hillary agreed to when she thought she would be the nominee certain...now since she came up against the wall that is Obama, she comes up with all this guff about not wanting the people of Mich and Florida not to be disenfrangized. She is a opprotunist of the worst kind...from signing a pledge to breaking her word...that tells me what kind of person she is. Talk about character...she has no honor. She backs her republican drinking buddy rather then a fellow Democrate...we are supposed to be fighting for Democratic ideals, not to give the Republican nomine his talking points.

Obama said that he would follow the rules set up by the DNC. The DNC was taken to court and they won...it is up to the parties to schedule their primaries, to set the rules...but the states have to decide what they will do as far as party primary. So what are the states coming up with...? umm? nothing. Because they want to play games with the limits set them, but not pay the consequences. From the Republican Gov that is laughing up his sleeve at the chaotic Dem party and the Dem Gov that figured she would play favorites for her BGF. So who loses..the people. And who is blamed? Barack Obama. After all how dare he go against the Clinton machine. And I was a supporter of the Clintons. Until I decided to research Obama and to see what really happened in Canada with NAFTA, to check out what the Pastor really said...and the spin and down right lies the Clinton's have promoted. From the Shame, Shame Barack Obama....I will meet you in Ohio? You know IF it is true about the number of Republicans Limbaugh sending 25% of Hillary's voters to her...then she really did not get the 15% that is needed to gain any delegates...and Obama won Ohio...and he won more Delegates in Texas...so he won it.

I am sick of Hillary, Bill and her nonsence. From her the lie about obama being Muslim, from her the whisper campaign that Obama sold drugs, from her the picture...from her Farraro statement, from her the lie about NAFTA...and more. Now it's all Obama's fault that Florida and Mich people are not having their votes count.

She is a woman, and darn I wanted a woman president...I am her age and a feminist and walked the feminist talk...more then she does. A Fem is not a victim...we stand for equality not special favors and whining. She makes me want to punch something because of the disappointment I feel. But what is worse is that she will point the finger at the innocent...she is a lier and darn the Republicans were right after all. And I hate that more then anything...
