"You Don't Quit Until You Finish What You Started"

It is "you're" (contraction for you are) finished." "Your" is possessive.

If you're going to insult someone, at least try to use correct spelling and grammar. posted 05/18/2008 at 01:59:18
She can't help what others say or who they compare her to. She has never done that herself and she has many times admitted she is rich and has all kinds of advantages.

As we Clinton supporters cannot hold Obama responsible for what his supporters say (and think if we actually would!, you cannot hold her responsible for what hers say. posted 05/18/2008 at 01:56:28
I honestly have to wonder why some of you are so obsessed with her honoring her commitment to her marriage. It really isn't anyone else's business and it certainly did not affect my life as life during Bill Clinton's administration was quite good.

As for she wouldn't have the nomination if it weren't for Bill, I think you underestimate the kind of person Hillary is and you overlook the success she has had on her own through her entire life. posted 05/18/2008 at 01:54:30
I think that is up to her. I doubt you've donated to her but I have and I have no problem with her continuing. posted 05/18/2008 at 01:51:06

Obama Iowa Rally Planned For Tuesday

Vote however you want. I'm going to vote for Obama and have said so on numerous occasions.

I guess you other people's viewpoints irritate you. That's one of the downfalls of living in a democracy. Some people may have other views and have the right to express them. Bummer, uh? posted 05/17/2008 at 23:46:30
And that has what to do with Obama's lack of geographical knowledge? Misspeak...hmmmm...I don't think so. posted 05/17/2008 at 23:15:09
Sorry to burst your bubble but I saw an analysis the other night on CNN. The cross overs weren't enough to affect any of the races. posted 05/17/2008 at 22:50:00
Are you sure he can even find Iowa?

Not only does he not know how many states there are, he doesn't even know WHERE they are. (For those of you as geographically challenged as Obama, Illinois is a bordering state of Kentucky. Arkansas is much further away.)

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

Since there aren't reply buttons to several of these replies, I'll just have to put my reply here.

Boy, you people are sure Hillary obsessed! I wasn't even talking about her and you all jumped right on her as the main topic. One has to wonder what causes this? Paranoia, fear, what??????? posted 05/17/2008 at 22:11:57

Hillary Turns Fire On The Media

OK, this is to an earlier post. I offered a direct quote from Obama about him basically saying Arkansas is closer to Kentucky than Illinois is. I pointed out that Illinois is a neighboring state to KY while Arkansas is further away. Your responded to it like I was talking about the 57 states gaffe he made.

Since you "live on facts" as you say, I found it interesting that YOU are the one who wanted to discuss the misspeak he made (although it was an interesting one) and ignore the fact that I put out there for you.

By the way, thanks for the explanation about the reply button bit...I ignored your sarcasm. posted 05/18/2008 at 01:14:22
CocteausTwin,

The post I posted that was pulled was referring to Obama's lack of geographical knowledge. Fact.

"What it says is that I'm not very well known in that part of the country," Obama said. "Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it's not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle."

He wasn't IN Congress then. He was embroiled in a battle for a seat in the Illinois legislature. That is why it is so laughable when he talks about how Clinton voted. He was never privy to the intelligence information she was. It is so easy to criticize someone else for something you never had the opportunity to do. posted 05/17/2008 at 22:28:20

"for the first time in my adult lifetime I am proud of my country" That is unAmerican to me. Don't tell me she didn't say it. She did. Don't tell me it is out of context. There is no context that changes the means of those words.

She is one angry American who is unhappy and will always be unhappy.

And that's the way I see it. If you listen to the news and read posts on various political sites you will notice I am not alone in that analysis. posted 05/16/2008 at 21:13:17
Yes, that is what she said...in a speech. Of course, BEFORE that she gave another speech and that is NOT what whe said in THAT speech.

Defend what? She said what she said. Clinton can't say she didn't or that Michelle was right. Michelle has to pay the price for her mouth. Hopefully she'll learn to pick her comments more carefully. If not, she can expect more of this. It's a political ad. Get over it. There'll be more and probably worse. Welcome to the general election campaign. Michelle is a big girl. Let her suck it up. posted 05/15/2008 at 20:02:25
Tell me she and Obama didn't see this coming? They're NOT stupid! This is exactly why you do NOT say stuff like she says when your husband is running for President. She said it. She asked for it. She got it. And this is not the last time you are going to hear about this.

You're horrified? Really? Geez...you're in for a rough 6 months!

Hillary has been an advocate for women's rights since 1974 and on the national seen since 1992. That's a long history. Of course many women are loyal to her for what she has done for us for decades. She does deserve our respect and our gratitude. No one would have a problem with NARAL endorsing Obama if and when he is named the candidate. He has not been yet.

The other thing you don't understand is this endorsement did not come from all of NARAL but just from the national office. The state affiliates are upset that they were not consulted. It's an internal disagreement. posted 05/15/2008 at 20:29:34
Thanks! Great site! Yes, Hillary Clinton has been a supporter of women's rights since 1974 and has never wavered! posted 05/15/2008 at 20:17:30
I absolutely agree. I have stated before that even though I am a Clinton supporter I will vote for Obama if he is the Democratic candidate. I think most Clinton supporters will vote against McCain when the election comes and I think choice is one of the many reasons. posted 05/15/2008 at 17:52:41

She has NEVER gotten a pass.

I and miillions of others would LOVE to return to the 8 years of the first Clinton administration. The promise of a second 8 years was exciting.

Did she lie? Yes. Did Obama lie. Yes. Did McCain lie? Yes. Has Bob Barr lied? Yes. You're going to have to find another candidate somewhere, I guess, since lying is your only standard. posted 05/15/2008 at 17:11:39
Clinton has a long history of supporting women. Obama...not so much. He's been supportive since he's been in the Senate but that's not been long. I, for one, need to see if he is just playing politics for the presidency or if he really is sincere. His Illinois legislative record is less than it should be. posted 05/15/2008 at 13:00:37

Obama Calls Reporter 'Sweetie' In Michigan

I dare say many African Americans in this country and on this site might disagree with you. Words DO matter and condescending, patronizing, and denigrating populations of people. How you treat people does matter and it shows exactly how you feel about others. It especially matters when you want to be the President of the U.S. and you SAY you want to represent ALL of the people.

For instance, your "bitter butch" remark says a whole lot about who and what you are. posted 05/16/2008 at 07:25:39
You're right on, FlowerGirl! Many women on this site sound so starved for any male attention it is pitiful. To let someone demean you and think it is cute or sexy is truly sad. They bring the rest of us down and send the message that this kind of condescension is OK with ALL women. We all need to respect ourselves (and not "swoon" at the thought of a little patronizing attention from a man) and others will respect us. posted 05/15/2008 at 21:59:31

Why NARAL Pro-Choice America Endorsed Barack Obama

Actually this is only the national office of NARAL. The state organizations, including Illinois, have not endorsed Obama. And the national office endorsed without any input from the states. I imagine they endorsed because he is the presumptive winner but they should have waited until he won the nomination officially especially in light of his poor record on women's issues in the Illinois legislature. posted 05/14/2008 at 23:58:56
