Clinton should fight to the end
I am one of those Clinton supporters who just can't let go and sing Koom-by-ya with Obama. Why?
This guy is not what he pretends to be - honest. He is arrogant, a war hawk in disguise ( he wants to hit Iran, challenge Russia and expand war in Afghanistan), has a weak energy plan (tax credit and a distant hope for alternative fuels - no muscle) , does little for the middle class (a $1,000 tax deduction at the end of the year and a pipe dream about giving a $1,000 rebate from oil company profits), and no executive experience - probably less than any president ever.
He has very poor judgment (the surge, drilling, more troops in Afghanistan, his Senior Group on National Security), to many questionable associations (Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, and Frank the Communist), and has lied more often than most (he was not a constitutional law Professor nor was he airlifted to America by John Kennedy; his economic advisor did meet with the Canadian ambassador in Chicago; he did not answer all questions about Rezko from the Chicago Sun Times, and, he was instructed in Islam and studied the Koran).
He is a typical run of the mill politician (blows with the wind and will say anything to get elected. He plagiarizes his best lines (We are the we we've been waiting for, Audacity of hope, the word, tear down that wall, citizen of the world).
Money seems to be more important than duty or his own people He took money from Tony Rezko while his people went without heat. But, to me, worst of all, he started the race issue and has played the identity politics card like a fiddle (See, Obama is the One who made race the issue on http://www.themoderntribune.com/).
Obama is running neck and neck with McCain in a race that should be a rout. Hillary ended the Democratic primaries with the momentum. She ended up with more popular vote than any primary candidate in history. She had 18 million votes. She won the big ones and she can beat McCain.
There is a lot of buyer’s remorse and feelings of deception as the truth about Obama comes out. When he won most of his states people did not know what he really was. There is a lot more to come.
After the convention it will bone too late.
For the good of America and the Democratic Party Hillary should fight to the end. Then let Obama unite the party with Hillary at the helm.





Oy.

A Clinton supporter? More like a Clinton nut job. Hopefully, there are effective medication to treat mental illness as serious as yours.

Talking sense probably would do good with you, but: you dislike Obama becasue "he is not who he pretends to be," but can support Hilolary, the change-persona-and-position every-minute queen? Obama has "no judgment," but remember Hillary's campaign? "Questionable associations" -- no comment needed. "Money seems to be more important than duty or his own people" -- please. Like most Hillaryites, you seem to be projecting the myraid flaws of your candidate onto the last best hope for America. If you still have the ability, think about this. In any case, get help: you need it.

He's not a Clintonista. He's just here to get you and me pissed off at each other. As if we couldn't do that on our own. :)

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS.
We've heard the perfect cut-n-paste, kitchen-sink litany of charges before. This foe is beyond hope. Her first two posts were just as lame. Let her collect her little McCain points and wither away.

Clinton is a small city in Iowa. There may be other Clintons, but they are less relevant.

Well. This looks like a republican and/or pro Obama site.
A lot of stop drinking the kool aid and insulting name calling. Typical for people with no real argument.
The best here, Mandy, merely says that Hillary has the same problems Obama does. Well that may be true. But, no one argued that Obama's downside was not true.
We will see what you say when Mr. McGoo beats the Messiah. Most of you are blinded by his un-vetted meteoric rise.
I think Hillary can beat McCain and that Obama is real questionable.

Ripper McCord,
There was nothing that was cut and paste in my post. You should try actually following the issues then it wouldn't be such a surprise that others actually do.
I am not a McCain supporter nor a female.
One thing is for sure you jump to conclusions and your best shot is name calling. That should take you a long way in life.

For you so brilliant smart allics, hiding behind your computers calling names, I dare you to call The Salute America Talk Radio Show Sunday from 1-4 pm (est). The toll free number is (877) 958-5850. The show is simulcast on 4 East Tennessee stations and is on the Internet (live and archived) at http://www.talkradiotoday.com
I say name callers are cowards and have to hide in the shadows and poke names at others to impress fellow insultineers. Let's see how you do live on the radio. Cowards.

Is that your show? How do I talk to you? Ask for you by name?

How about I give you a sample of some 60's activism and organize a call-in to that toll free number this weekend. How many incoming calls can you handle per hour?

"...when Mr. McGoo beats the Messiah."
Uh, what was that you were so piously saying about name calling?

It's actually a little different when you call the candidates names from when you call each other names. He makes a good point about anonymity, but I don't see how calling into a talk show is any braver than commenting here.
I haven't seen this one before, but there are a number of people here who have for a long time been working hard to keep the hate Clinton meme going. My guess is they think McCain can win if Obama can't pick up Hillary's base, so they post things that are supposed to bring out the Obama fans to insult Hillary. They get you to dis Hillary, I'm supposed to get pissed at that and not support Obama.

Billy,
Yes. Just say you want to comment. My on the air name is Bill Lindley. Please call.

I do not think I have called anyone here a name.
Its personal attacks here that is bothersome. Especially, when that's pretty much the argument.
Personal attacks is not debate. Go to www.opendemocracy.net and you will see what it is. This site reminds me of what the Huffington site was like. Nothing but insults. Maybe this is a Don Rickles try out comedy site.
Good night and good bye
