God Bless America!!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 07:06:25 EST

Thank you all for making this a reality. My sincere gratitude to Hillary Clinton (The Lioness), Pres. Bill Clinton, the Labor Unions, the youths of America, Minorities ans White America for bringing CHANCE to America.

We will now embark on the second phase of this journey which is keeping this movement alive and making sure we all work with Barack and Joe to deliver for my America.

Please DO NOT SHUT DOWN THIS WEBSITE to allow us to communicate our feelings and ideas to power and to talk to one another.

This is a victory for AMERICA and COMMUNITY ORGANIZING.

LET ME MAKE A PREDICTION.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 10 Sep 2008 09:06:44 EDT

Where are all the Democrats? That the Republican party have succeeded in hoodwinking and deceiving the American people into believing that this election is about one-liners, zingers and cultural wars and not issues is mindboggling.

I had always believed that the majority of the electorate are not ripe enough, politically speaking, to differentiate between voting their interests and voting on divisive social and cultural issues. This is where the Republican party has put the Democrats on the line.

It was a mistake for Barack Obama to assume in very simplistic terms that all it will take to win this election is to pretend that the voters in Ohio, Michigan, Virginia, Pennsylvania and so on will have changed in their attitudes overnight to really appreciate a new type of campaign and politics in America.

It is good to talk about specifics but it is also good to connect to voters and appeal to their emotions. That is where Obama is falling flat on his face on this campaign. I was so disgusted this morning with politics and the American media when all I heard this morning was about "pigs & lipsticks" after Obama rightly pointed out that the Republican party is like a "pig" who no matter what you do will remain a pig since they are very likely to continue with the Bush policies.

I suggest that the Democratic party veterans in political campaigns (like James Carville, Paul Begala, Gov. Ed Rendell etc) to TAKE OVER THIS CAMPAIGN from this lack-lustre folks that are running the Obama campaign on computers and PDAs and run a more aggressive campaign because they would have failed the American people if the Republicans lie their way into the White House.

I am so worried about my great country America and the direction towards which the Republicans will take it under a McCain/ Palin administration. My greatest immediate worry is that Mccain is playing pokers with the future of this great nation by selecting a candidate for VP who has absolutely no idea what to do with our economy or national security should Mccain not be able to function as president if they "win. Can you imagine the national embarrasment and confusion that will ensure should this situation arise? I am also so disappointed in the MSM that is supposed to inform the voters are so busy indulging in yellow-journalism than helping voters sought out truth from fiction.

I am praying fervently for my America. May God help direct this great nation towards the right part and greatness.

I rest my case.

SACRILEGE!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 15:28:09 EDT

THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN SHOULD PUSH BACK ON THIS SILLY MACAIN AD PUTTING UP MOSES (THE SYMBOL OF GOD'S REDEMPTION FOR THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND MANKIND), BRITNEY SPEARS AND PARIS HILTON IN AN AD MAKING A MOCKERY OF ESPECIALLY MOSES (BY EXTENSION GOD AND JESUS CHRIST WHOM THIS GREAT PROPHET REPRESENTS) IN ORDER TO SCORE A POLITICAL POINT UNLESS THE CAMPAIGN THINKS IT IS OK TO TRASH FAITH FOR POLITICAL GAINS.

I AM INDEED ASHAMED OF ALL THE SO-CALLED RELIGIOUS LEADERS WHO HAS KEPT MUM, OR DISMISSED THIS AD AS EITHER APPROPRIATE OR SILLY WITHOUT OUTRIGHT CONDEMNATION.

IF MCACAIN AND THE GOP GETS AWAY WITH THIS BLASPHEMY, WHO KNOWS WHO WILL SHOW UP ON ONE OF THIER STUPID ISSUELESS ADS----JESUS CHRIST?

MCACAIN IS INDEED A DISHONORABLE AND RUDE MAN WHO HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL (GOP & CARL ROVE) WHO ARE PUTTING UP JOHN AS THEIR TROJAN HORSE TO COVER UP ALL THE ATROCITIES THEY HAVE COMMITED AGAINST THE GOOD PEOPLE OF UNITED STATES ALL IN "OUR" NAME.

MCAIN MUST BE CALLED TO ORDER BY ALL SANE PEOPLE. NO POLITICIAN SHOULD DEFAME OR CARRICATURE OUR SACRAED RELIGIOUS IDENTITIES FOR POLITICAL EXPIDIENCY. SHAME ON MACAIN AND THE GOP. I GUESS THAT IF THEY ARE MOSLEMS, THEY WILL NOT PUT UP PROPHET MOHAMMED FOR SALE ON TV ADS SINCE THEY KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF DOING THAT.

THE MAIN STREAM MEDIA WHO HAS BEEN AIDING AND ABETTING THIS CARRICATURE OF MOSES BY MCCAIN SHOULD ALSO BE CALLED TO ORDER.

IF MACAIN PREFERS, HE CAN PUT UP A MILLION CARRICATURES OF WHITE WOMEN (BRITNEY & PARIS) ON TV IF THAT IS OK BY WOMEN'S GROUPS WHO DO NOT SEE THIS AS SEXISM (EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH BOTH LADIES). WHY DIDN'T MCCAIN AND HIS COHORTS USE CARRICATURE OF MEN IN THEIR STUPID ADS? BECAUSE THEY FIND IT MORE CONVINIENT AND LESS THREATHENING TO PREY ON WOMEN.

This Election Is For Sen. Obama To Lose

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 01 Aug 2008 21:03:42 EDT

The Obama campaign is once more falling into the same trap it fell towards the end of the primaries; being reactionary instead of proactive and agressive. In as much as Americana wants change, I do not think they want any perception of 'softness' or 'weakness'. For goodness sake, this is American presidency and not a test of civility. No matter how much the Obama campaign will want to keep above the fray, there are millions of low information voters and those looking for just any reason not to vote for Obama who might have gotten what they want in these stupid McCain ads.

It does not have to be Sen. Obama who will confront each and every stupid Mccain ad. Where are the campaign staff and other surrogates? I am really getting a little bit frustrated with the tepid nature of this campaign. All I get everytime is more requests for donations but I do not see any Obama surrogates on TV defending his positions or telling American people what he intends to do as president.

The Obama campaign is letting Mccain muddy up this campaign environment since he and the GOP have absolutely nothing to offer American people. It will be sad if the Obama campaign fail to seize the momment and set the pace of this very important election.

Where is that team that ran the elections during the primaries? I hope everyone is not just hoping that American people are so disgusted with Bush and the Republicans that they will automatically vote for the Democrats. They once gave us George W Bush and that crowd is still very much around.

A stitch in time saves nine. Stick it to McCain (stop acknowledging his 'heroism' because Mccain is not an honorable man) and stop this maddness.

The Campaign Needs To Watch Out For This

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 15:35:04 EDT

Iwas just watching CNN today when I heard John King, in agreeemnet with Bill Schnider rehearshing that Republican talking-point that "Obama is already measuring drapes in the White House before he is ever elected" which the Main Stream Media (MSM) out of crass mental laziness has internalized and used quite often. If you ever watched Anderson Cooper, you will almost think that he is an extention of the John McCain's campaign. He attributes all the gaffes and serious policy errors we have all now seen to be a daily occurence by John McCain as "McCain being McCain. Yet, these mentally lazy folks at the MSM will pick apart any word that drops from Sen. Obama's mouth and twist them to suit whatever agenda they are out there to progagate.

I have even heard some pundits assert that this election should be "a referendum on Obama" to show why he ought to be a president as if Gorge W Bush has expired or that it was not the Republican Congress and White house who got us into the mess in which we all find ourselves today.

Where I am really worried is that, just like John Kerry hoped that the American voters will undertsand that "swift boat attack" was a hoax, the Obama campaign is once again falling into this trap by not pushing back very forcefully (that is the only language the MSM understands) against these insinautions which they are sipping into the subconscious of many voters, especially, the low-information voters who depend on these one-liners to influence their vote.

The McCain campaign goaded and challenged Sen. Obama to "travel" overseas hoping to make a mince meat out of any mistakes that he might make. Now that Obama did not make any such mistakes, the new catch phrase I am hearing the MSM and the GOP use is "cockiness", "arrogance", "presumptive" and "pride". May be America has had it so bad that their yardstick for measuring self-assuredness is George W Bush and that anyone who is not of George Bush's low level of intelligence and carriage is "cocky". Alternatively, they cannot "farthom" how a black man can show such self discipline and confidence and there lies that error of race-jaundiced judgement on the part of ABC, CNN, Fox news and some folks on MSNBC like Joe Scarborough, Pat Buchanan and Andrea Mitchel (whose husband, Alan Greenspan chickened out and allowed Bush to run our economy aground when it mattered most)

The Obama campaign are not making effective use of surrogates pushing back on some of the misconceptions and outright overlooking of all the faults of John McCain while focusing like a razor on Barack Obama's statements and actions. A lot of folks who support and donate money here for Barack Obama has expressed disappointment over how the Obama campaign is handling these issues. We thought that this pacifist attitude about pushing back on false statements about a political opponent would have ended in the Democratic primaries but we can see that it still persists. Do not hope that voters will "understand" but convince them that these statements by the GOP and MSM are baseless. It can be effectively be done by surrogates and not the candidate itself. This campaign is becoming too docile for my concern.

THE BEST WAY TO LOSE AN ELECTION.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 07:29:29 EDT

This is a warning to Sen. Obama and his campaign. No one said you should not "move to the center" after winning the primaries but the worst thing you will do is to alienate your millions of supporters who saw a different type of "politician" in you and then gave you their support.
This is the problem the Democratic party has always faced-- BEING EVERYTHING TO EVERYONE. GWB won the election because he energized his base. There is a lot of grumbling going on already among your supporters(check Huffpo). You can be in the so-called "middle" without being seen to be there. You do not have to apologize to the GOP and MSM for your progressive positions which got you this far. Once you are branded a "flip-flopper", you are finished.
Why dis Gen. Wes Clark when his statements are purely his. He was brave enough to say the truth. Do you have to "reject", "disown" every statement made by any of your surrogates? McCain breezes past horrible statements made by his own people and no one raises an eyebrow. Those who will not vote for you will not vote for you even if you put on angelic garbs today. So, Sen. Obama, stay with your base (I do not mean extreme left since I am an independent)and push back on the MSM to contact any of your surrogates who made any statement for clarifications. You do not have to own or disown other people's statements.
By the way, I am 100% behind Gen Wes Clark's statement that "being shot down in a fighter plane does not qualify you for the presidency" Let the GOP deal with that.

Jonathan Martin: Politico.com

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 12:59:11 EDT

I hope that Obama supporters are not taken in by the confused and political hack job done by Jonathan Martin of Poilitico.com challenging Barack's assertion that we contibute to this movement because the GOP attack groups a.k.a 527s will be working behind the scene for McCain in smearing Barack Obama.

I do not know what "research" Mr. Martin has done tp conclude that Obama is "trying to scare his supporters into reaching for their wallet". To folks like Mr. Martin, one really has to wait for the lion to appear at your bedside before you make a dash at the door. Ofcourse, Mr. Martin wants this campaign to be unprepared for the eventual GOP slime machine. The Politico has been very unfriendly to the Obama campaign in most of its reporting. You only have to visit thier website to see all the anti-Obama forces at play.

I URGE all Obama supporters not to be deceived by the Politico "journalists' and keep on making their contributions for the actualization of our dreams of a better America. As for me, I will continue to contribute as usual and ignore Politico who I believe, are in bed with the GOP in some of the opinions they advance. Enough of this political job. I will believe Barack Obama before I believe anyone of this political jobers at the Media pretending to be objective.

I have a very poor opinion of the so-called American Main Stream Media. They are disgusting and lack quality and standards. It took me time to reach to this conclusion.

What the hell is going on?

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 08:04:44 EDT

I am begining to feel that the Clinton-dominated media is trying to portray Obama as "he cannot close the deal". Barack should understand that the media are NOT on his side as he will want to believe, or else, check out the so-called "analysis blanketing the cable news recently. It is in the media interest to use the Obama-Clinton fight to improve their ratings and advertizing returns at the expense of American democracy. This is the same institution that has stayed on the kerb and even pretended to be dumb while George W Bush ravages this country with his muderous policies, enabled by the Republican party. Most of them even sang praises for Bush before he drove this country into an unneccessary war in Iraq.

For the media, it is all about money. They are there for their interest. CNN is owned by Time-Warner; MSNBC by GE and Fox News by the devil-incarnate called Ruppert Murdoch who had to give up his Australian citizenship just to come to America to create harvoc with his "media" outlets.

But the biggest fools in this game are "Democrats" who do not seem to know what they want. They have accused the Republican party so often as being racist until a half-black, half-white man, Barack Obama entered the race. Suddenly, the white democrats, especially in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, who are hiding under the cloak of "blue collar voters" (read RACISTS) have decided to throw out everything they pretended to expouse to vote for their own (Hillary Clinton) who participated in forging NAFTA that has taken jobs away from them and even voted for the Iraq war that she never bothered to read the context before voting for what she believed will "help" her politically.

Well, the Democratic party will suffer the consequences of this indecision for years to come. They are cowards. At least one can define the Republican party but the so-called Democrats are all over the map. Is this how they will run this country? How will the Democratic party ever convince the African-American voters that has stood behind every white candidate that they had presented for elections over so many decades that they are not worse than Republicans in race-baiting tendencies. How can the white "Democrats" in Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania convince me that they are against NAFTA or the Iraqi war all of which Hillary represent, and still vote for the white woman? We will all live and die with race in this country if care is not taken. The American enemy and original sin (RACISM) still color our judgements. Our downfall will come from within and not without.

As for Barack, I have chosen NOT to make any further donations until he understands that he is running for the PRESIDENCY with a bitch who does not care how she gets to that office. Do not be deceived that Americans will wake up over night and shed all the racial baggage and vote for CHANGE. It is not possible!!!! Hillary does not care how many bodies she leaves on the kerb as long as she grabs this nomination. She is all out to secure the "Clinton lagacy" by not losing to this new comer, Barack, even if she will lose in the general election in November. The other strategy is to damage Barack beyond redemption so that he loses to McCain for Hillary to tell Democrats, "you see I told you he cannot win". She will then make another run in 2012.

I do not care what the media says but Barack has to finish off this scandal-ridden family (CLINTONS) by going after their NUMEROUS negatives big time if he wants to close down this stupid "nomination" process. Negative attacks work. The same voters who lie to polsters that they are aversed to negative advertising still vote mostly based on that. Barack cannot afford to be on the defensive all the time. Hillary Clinton does not care how many corpes she left as long as she secures the nomibation and then tries to re-unite with the so-called disaffected voters. Americans admire a candidate who projects the John Wane image even if he is the dumbest of them all. Or else, how can one explain the eletion of Geroge W Bush for a two-term presidency?

YUO LIVE WITH YOUR VOTE!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 19:11:02 EDT

You see, I have decided to start watching cartoon channels after what passed for a debate last night in Philly between Barack and that evil witch, Hillary.

I do not care from now on, repeat, do not care from now on whatever the outcome of this primaries and general election is. Americans are free to vote on any single or a combination of issues. They can even vote on guns, religion, race, gender, bitterness, or any other mundane reason for that matter.

The only thing I am sure of is that YOU LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCIES OF YOUR VOTE!!! You have absolutely NO RIGHT to complain after the facts. We are all living withnesses to the consequencies of electing presidents based on mundane but not real issues in Geroge W Bush.

The status quo are at work again. They want to tell us what to think. You find them in the media, political hacks, Democratic/Republican "strategists" and even on the internet.

Remember my prediction TODAY. We will live with the consequencies of electing Hillary or McCain into the White House for the rest of our lives.

I rest my case.

Hillary: All Puff, No Reason.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 20:14:01 EDT

One thing common to all hollow individuals is that they are driven by naked ambition and not reality. Otherwise, how can any sane person be making the same arguements the Clintons have been making as the reason for their "electability" inspite of all the odds against them.

Hillary is behind in delegates (especially, "earned" or what is erroneuosly termed pledged delegates), total votes cast, number of states won (no matter that she is dismissing other states she did not win as "small" states). More over, the Obama campaign is beating Hillary hands down in donations and new voters, especially young voters, independents and some Republicans who have seen the "light".

The last president who made the same arguements about getting elected against the wishes of voters is George Bush and we are living with the consequencies of that today since he knows he does not owe his "rule" to the electorate. Hillary will be worse that George Bush if she ever suc ceeds in fooling the people that she is the most "electible". She does not want to earn this mandate. She wants to convince the "superdelegates" to install her inspite of the fact that will spell the end of the Democratic party if she STEALS this election. Talk about a "Kamikazi" wish!!!!

Hillary reminds me of of a psychiatric patient who has no insight to her situation by insisting that she is not "mental" when all the signs of "madness" is written all over her. She is not talking about winning or earning this election. She is more interested in STEALING the election.

To the Clintons, LOYALTY is everything. I can't remember the Clintons being gratefull that America gave them the opportunity to serve, even when Bill dececrated the White House with his lousy sperm.

If any one thought we are in a mess right now, the mere thought of Hillary as president is a scary thing!!!

SHAMELESS BILL CLINTON!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:55:16 EDT

Indeed, events bring out the true nature and the worst in individuals. How can any SENSIBLE DEMOCRAT stand aside and watch the CLINTONS take apart the Democratic party in their ugly and desperate bid to RE-OCCUPY the White House.

The recent "Joe McCarthy-laced" speech in which Bill Clinton vouched for the "patriotism" of Hiilary Clinton and a presidential aspirant, John McCain from an opposing party (Republican), suggesting that a fellow Democrat, Barack Obama, lacked patriotism, should be the last straw that should make any reasonable Democrat chase these two-headed monsters (Biil & Hillary) out of the presidential race. Gov. Bill Richardson has started this noble project. Let all of us join him.

Talking about patriotism, here was Bill Clinton who chickened out when his country needed his patriotism to serve in the Vietman war. America forgave him and gave him another opportunity to serve in the highest office in the land-The Presidency. Even during the opportunity given to this pathologic liar and "lerch" to serve, Bill Clinton DESECRATED THE WHITE HOUSE by having SEX with Monica Lewinsky in th OVAL OFFICE- the sacred alter of the American democracy. Yet, again, America forgave Bill Cilnton. Bill Clinton HAS NO SHAME!!!

This is the same character that is trying to get back to the White House through the back door by fronting his wife, Hillary, an equally flawed character as THE TROJAN HORSE. Americans, and especially, Democrats, should WAKE UP FROM THEIR SLUMBER AND CONFUSION and realize that with Bill and Hillary, the road to the White House will be a "bridge too far" for the Democratic party.

Lets us understand this, most of Obama supporters are largely independents, new inspired voters and clear-headed democrats who are not prepared to vote for Hillary ( and for folks like me, under any circumstance). We want to take this country to a new and better place, where the almighty God has positioned our great nation, America, to occupy and lead. This is a statement of fact.

People have the choice to allow their judment to be clouded by the recent racial rants from an angry pastor Wright or the right-wing nuts (ala Fox News) or take their destiny in their own hands. If we allow America to go down the drain with our clouded and prejudiced judgements, I am sorry to say that all of us, irrespective of race, religious affiliations, sexual orientation or gender will sink with this Titanic. THE CHOICE IS OURS TO MAKE!!!

Oh!! There we go again.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:45:20 EDT

My goodness, what has happened to serious and purposeful news reporting? The American "News" Networks have been turned into a BAZAAR where anything sells. We are now caught up with who said what while our gallant men and women in uniform are dying everyday in what is now a recognized blunder by Pres. Bush and his "experienced" cohorts in Iraq. I do not hear any thing any more about how I will be able to avert losing my American dream (my home), how I will be able to avert disaster if I fall sick (Sen. John Kerry once rightly said that we should pray that we don't get sick in this country), or how I am going to educate and feed my kids.

What is wrong with the American electronic media? I mean especialy those big-for-nothing networks like CNN, MSNBC and the worst of them all, Fox "News"? They have balkanized the electoral process by their un-ending emphasis on peripheral issues that do not contribute to the upliftment of hopes and aspirations in this country. They are more interested in the so-called "POLLS" where they tell us whose grandfather or grandmother did or did not vote for who. They are subtly sowing the seeds of discord in the voters' psyche whether purposefully or not.

After that unfortunate comment made by Geraldine Ferraro (which I believe was politically motivated to score points with white voters in Pennsylvania) we are back again to what a pastor (incidentally, Barack Obama attends this church) said in a Christmas eve sermon in 2007!!!. He is now being labelled as BARACK OBAMA'S PASTOR as is Barack owns or supports what this man said or has ever said or wrote that speech for him. By the way, I thought that the rumor was that Barack is a "muslim" (as if this another word for leprosy). How come people are now associating him with this pastor?(A CHRISTAIN). If we are ever held responsible for what "our pastors/priests" ever said, we will all then be guilty by association. Why are folks pretending not to know better if not for the purpose of mischief, ignorance or both? When we allow ourselves to be caught up in this pendulum of absurdity, politics and meaningful national discourse suffers.

The only TV channels I find comforting are the comedy and cartoon channels because you don't want to rupture an artery watching these nincompoops (networks) behave like imbeciles in the name of journalism. The standards are now too low. You cannot imagine where characters like Tucker Carlson or Joe Scarborough (MSNBC) are allowed to be sources of 'information". Chuck Todd of MSNBC is more interested in this fuzzy math about which tribesmen are voting for their own. Wolf Blitzer of CNN seem to be more interested in his paycheck than checking the facts. Howard Kurtz of CNN "unreliable sources" has turned himself into a campaign extention. All the anchors at Fox "New" are behaving like mutant ninjas without exception.

Wake up Americans and take this country back from these paid agents and their masters!!!!

To John Edwars, Bill Richardson & Joe Biden: An Open Letter

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 16:18:59 EST

It is very prophetic to state that evil thrives when good men keep quiet in the face of a challenge when they are supposed to show courage.That is why I applaud statesmen like Sen. Chris Dodd who came forwards to support a candidate he believes in when others are still calculating their move. If the Senators named above are angling for positions in either an Obama presidency or Hillary's (God forbid!!), they will have none at the end of the day when Hillary would have damaged the Democratic party beyond redemption because she has realized that the odds are against her.Just like she never actually supported John Kerry actively during the last general elections, Hillary is calculating on damaging Barack Obama so badly that in the event she could not steal the nomination, the Republicans will deafeat the democrats thereby opening up another chance for her in 2012 when she will be 64 years old (assuming she is actually only 60 years now because I do not trust her).I have watched Bill Richardson make all sorts of confusing statements about endorsing or not endorsing a candidate on the networks and even minimising the importance of endorsements that my wife wondered aloud if Bill Richardson is well upstairs. He even said that the "D" date is the period after this Texas/Ohio primaries and that any candidate with a majority of pledged delegates should become the partys' nominee. I am still wondering why Bill Richarson is still keeping quiet.Hello! hello!! hello!!!, Bill, are you there?I am most surprised at John Edwards who had claimed repeatedly to be an agent of change just like Barack Obama. He has suddenly turned himself into the "beautiful bride" that has to be cajoled and courted while Rome burns. He may outlive his usefulness in this process if he keeps on "waiting" for the right suitor.Joe Biden could help Pakistanis put their "house" in order, but what does it profit a firefighter if he succeeds in using all his resources to put out the fire in another man's property while his home was burnt down. This is not a good example of an 'experienced" individual.Such is the irony of these politicians who claim they are "fighting" for us. They all have a price tag. It is left for a smart person to name the right price and they will sell!!!

In Defence of Samantha Powers

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 15:23:56 EST

We have a huge problem in this country and it begins with the press and the so-called politically correct pretenders who act holier than thou instead of standing up for the truth and obvious.The recent trial in the press and public opinion of the courageous Ms. Samantha Powers who voiced what many of us actually think of Hillary Clinton and her manner of approach to politics ("she stoops to conquer") is rather unfortunate. Who, in their right mind, would not conclude that Hillary Clinton went bunkers in the last days preceeding the Texas/Ohio primaries just because she was staring defeat in the face. It was very unlady-like, the despicable attitude put up by this desperate "lady" just because she wanted to win by all means.Where was the outrage when Hillary belittled Barack by suggesting that John McCain (McBush) is more prepared to be commander-in-chief than Barack Obama, a fellow democrat? Where was the outrade when that mannerless Wolfson compared Barack to Ken Satrr? Where was the outrage when Hillary ran a that fear-mongering ad (that stupid 3am ad) against a fellow democrat suggesting that he is not ready to be president? The list goes on and on.Infact, if there is anything worse than a monster, that is what Hillary's approach to the issues of politics is. She can even be called the "meat cleaver lady" the way she came after Barack during this period. Politics is about "job interview", trying to convince voters that you are prepared to sacrifice your time and freedom to SERVE the people. But when a candidate makes it a matter of life and death for her to "win" then, my suspicion is that there is more behind this behavior. There is EGO and NAKED AMBITION written all over the face of the Clintons (now, Chelsea Clinton is campaigning for her mom while playing dumb to the press).My heart goes out to Samantha Powers for having the courage to voice out what a lot of cowards and pretenders who are now standing over her in judgement has failed to do. I wished she did not resign. Mark Penn did not resign when he made those derogatory remarks in New Hampshire about Barack and teenage "drug use" during an interview on MSNBC Hardball with Chris Mathews. One would have loved to delve into Mark Penn's youth to find out that this guy is actually a hypocrite. Do I need to remind you also of a former president who "smoked" but lied through his teeth that he did not "inhale" as if there is a brick wall between his mouth and throat. Such is the quality of individuals the Democrats want to send back to the White House.Lastly, it looks like the Democratic party is "cursed out" this time around for the level of confusion they are exhibiting in this nomination process. It is like they will see the promised land from the hill tops but will not get there if they fail to rap up this ugly nomination process. I have only one good reason as an independent to be leaning democratic for now-BARACK OBAMA!!!. If this hope is ever stollen from the people, my default candidate will become the lesser of two evils-John McCain.

Running For The Presidency Is Not A Soft Ball.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:36:33 EST

I am deeply disturbed at the laxity of the Obama campaign during the last days of the just concluded Texas/Ohio primaries in which he lost the election. I am also more disturbed that the election was lost not on sound ideas but on "garbage politics" the Clinton campaign onloaded on Barack during this period.

It was saddening that the best the Obama campaign could do was just to be on the defensive, giving lame excuses and half-hearted explanations on what was the real truth while allowing Hillary to attack and distort the very foundation on which the Obama campaign is predicated-NEW TYPE OF POLITICS, HOPE, INSPIRATION, TRUST and VISION and GOOD INSPIRING SPEECHES. Hillary was allowed to trash these very principles and got away with them.

Look, the Obama campaign should realize that we can only CHANGE politics in America if we WIN THIS ELECTION. Period!!!!

Enough of this soft-glove approach to confronting Bill & Hillary Clinton on their dirty type of politics which is a take-no-captives strategy (KITCHEN-SINK STRATEGY).They cry foul at any opportunity while driving in the screws into their victims' heart. They distort, lie, attack, play the victim while talking about whatever they think they will offer to Americans from the other side of their mouth. They are succeding in painting Barack as naive, inexperienced and not ready to lead. Hillary even had the effontary to paint Barack (a fellow Democrat) as not beign ready to lead while giving a pass to John McCain (a Republican) as more prepared than Barack to lead. And Democrats did not find this offensive? I remembered Hillary shouting on top of her lungs how it was that Barack was arming the Republicans during the weeks preceeding the Ohio primaries, when Barack pointed out where Hillary and Bill stood on NAFTA and the gouge-out-your-pockets healthcare plan offered by the Clintons.

Look, Barack, I am speaking directly to you now if you will listen. You are not in this race to test how you can take punches. You are in this race to GIVE PUNCHES while delivering the good massage.

There is nothing wrong in stating the facts that Hillary and Bill are in this race for an ego-trip. She has suddenly realized that if she misses this "opportunity", she will be rather too old to run for office in 12 years time. DO NOT LISTEN to all those paid agents in the lousy American press who will want to attack you of "going against your principles" of a better kind of politics while they show Hillary's attcak lines and ads over and over again (free of charge). Do not be deceived by those who claim they are "put off" by negative ads while they actually make up their minds on how they vote based on same information on those so-called negative ads. They cannot have it both ways.

The Clintons are successfully attacking and erroding the very foundation upon which your campaign is built and all you can do is to give rather timid explanations why you think they are wrong? The American presidency is like ridding the tiger. It is not for the "chicken hearted". I know we want to play a new type of politics. I know the Clintons will always accuse you of stating that you promised that you will play a new type of politics whenever you "attack" them. But, this is America!!! More than half of the electorate do not bother to check the facts. They depend on spin and what they hear or see on TV and radio to guide their decisions. Yes, this is the gospel truth whether we like to accept this or not. Impressions matter, and this is where the Clintons are beating the hell out of the Obama campaign. They are all over the networks. They have co-opted most of the so-called "Democratic Strategists" who appear on the networks. You need to watch and see the subtle campaign beign run by these so-called Democratic strategists on behalf of Hillary. Where are the Obama media people and sorrugates? They are all missing in action. All I see on TV is this Wolfson character and the Hillary's sorrugates.

Look, we can raise all the money in the world but if the Hillary campaign is allowed to frame the debate, then, the Obama campaign does not stand the chance of winning. Obama needs to win elections to widden the gap on pledged delegates between him and Hillary so that this her stupid arguement of winning the "BIG STATES" does not even hold any water .Hillary is dismissing other states that are not New York and California as IRRELEVANT in chosing the president of the United States of America and the Obama campaign are allowing her to get away with this insult. This election is not about who becomes the president of New York, Pensylvania, Ohio, California, Florida as Hillary will want us to believe but who becomes the PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (including Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands and Alaska)

Hillary & Bill Clinton have an Achilles heel-TRUST & SECRACY!!!. You cannot trust this twosome (no matter how well-intentioned they pretend to be). They are scandal-prone. Let us remind the voters that while the Clintons are claiming that they have been "thoroughly" vetted (whatever that mean), the vetting is yet to begin when the Republicans will onload on both of them. It is fair game for the Republicans to go after Bill Clinton (since this is a co-presidency) who has a lot of baggage (add that to Hillarys'). The mere thought of having this two characters in the White House is enough to cost the Democrats the November elections. As an independent, I would have voted for John McCain (since he is the lesser of two evils) before I vote for any of the Clintons to occupy the White House. This is what these lunch bucket Democrats who are voting for Hillary in these primaries have failed to realize. THIS ELECTION WILL BE DECIDED BY THE INDEPENDENT VOTERS, not by Democrats or Republicans!!!

I rest my case!!!

THE CLINTONS AND NAFTA

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 15:51:21 EST

The Obama campaign should hang this NAFTA issue very tightly around Hillary's neck, especially in Ohio whether she likes it or not since that is the fact.

Hillary reminds me of someone WHO RUNS WITH THE HARES WHILE HUNTING WITH THE FOXES on this NAFTA issue. I just heard claim on CNN that she voted in favor for the ammendment of NAFTA while Barack voted against it when the issue came up for voting in the Congress. Hillary has an issue with telling the thruth just like Bill. She has a selective amnesia. She wants to tell us she shared a co-presidency with Bill during the 90s, so, she must be held equally accountable for the bad decisions taken by that goverment.

Hillary is now playing the SCARE CROW (with this so-called national security ad) while accusing the Barack of stating the facts about NAFTA and Hillary's bitter-pill-package disguised as a healthcare package in Ohio (remember "MEET ME IN OHIO?). More over, you can have the "best" ideas in this world but if you are a polarizing and I-know-it-all character like Hillary, those ideas will die with you. Hillary will be the biggest mistake of the century the Democrats will make if for some inexplicable reasons, those lunch bucket Democrats vote for her. We, the INDEPENDENTS will decide this election. Even if every Democrat in America vote for her, she will not win this election because, the Independents, "Regan Democrats" and the average blue-collar job White men will make SURE she loses.

QUOTE ME!!!!

NOW OR NEVER!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 17:53:32 EST

I am so outraged by Hillary playing the victim while damaging the Democratic party by that despicable "ad" now playing on peoples' fears in Texas. At times, I wonder what part of hell this woman came from. She is indeed a desperate woman.

The Obama campaign should take off the gloves and deal a final blow on this desperado. They should run a NAFTA ad in Ohio educating voters what damage that ill-adviced project has caused the average American family. Disregard any shrills from Hillary henceforth. Show the "Chinese" workers enjoying what the American worker is supposed to be enjoying while shipping inferior and tainted goods to us. Remind voters that it is one thing to promise to bring jobs (as Hillary claims) but it is another for that promise to die in Washington, because Republican will frustrate her.

In Texas, an ad should run reminding voters that the Clintons are trying to perpetuate a "DYNASTY' (remember the Bushes down there in Texas?). Also, since Hillary claims she can wake up at 3 AM to "take a phone call" during an emergency, remind voters that they DO NOT KNOW WHICH HILLARY WILL SHOW UP to take that phone call. It is arrogant for Hillary to claim that she knows everything and is the only one who can "protect" us just like George Bush has been claiming. Tell voters that the best way to elect McCain is to vote for Hillary.

Hillary is running as if she was a part of a co-presidency during the 90s while wanting to stay away with all the failures of that administration. Hillary cannot have it bothj way.

THE SUREST WAY FOR THE DNC TO LOSE AN ELECTION!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:13:27 EST

The Media does not get it! The DNC does not get it!! And worst of all, the LUNCH BUCKET DEMOCRATS do not get it either!!! I have been talking to ordinary folks at their homes and kitchen tables and the point I am going to state here holds very scary but TRUE!!!!

The SUREST way for the Democrats to lose the November elections is TO NOMINATE HILLARY CLINTON (I have lost count how many times I have sounded this note of warning) either by hook or crook for the general elections. My heart bleeds when I realize that we, the American people, have come this far to taking back our government and some people are voting for Hillary because she is either a WOMAN, CLINTON BRAND-NAME (whatever that stands for), or "SHE WILL MAKE HISTORY" as she told us in the last debate in Ohio.

Please understand my point of discourse here. I am NOT opposed to voting for a woman as a presidential candidate. My mom (who I love so much) is a woman. I grew up among women. I am married to a woman who has given me beautiful kids. What I am not prepered to do is to vote for "THIS CANDIDATE, Hillary Clinton who happens to be a woman, JUST TO MAKE HISTORY, at the expense of the American Nation. If Hillary wants her ego and life-long held ambition to "rule" America to be rubbed, she can sing to her choir.

We cannot waste another four years in the life of a nation just to make history. I am so glad that Barack has never told us that voting for him will make history, otherwise, I would have changed my mind about him in a zap. I believe in Barack for the change he represents in our polity. I believe those who support Barack (Whites, Hispanics, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Native-Americans, Democrats Abroad, New Immigrants, Independents, "Born-again" Republicans) are hungering for CHANGE. We do not support Barack out of a sense of entilement or any other extemporaneous reasons. We believe in AMERICA and the CHANGE Barack will usher in a president.

If the Democrats ever nominate Hillary Clinton for this elctions, then, WELCOME PRES. McCAIN!!!

The Ever Lowering Goal Post

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:33:58 EST

First it was Iowa. It did not happen. Then came "SUPER TUESDAY" when Bill and Hillary claimed millions of voters will decide the fate of Barack Obama in their favor. It did not happen. Again, she said, "MEET ME IN OHIO" when she challenged Barack to a duel? She chickened out.

Hillary Clinton has been given opportunity upon opportunity to ressurrate herself which Barack would not have had if he lost 11 elections in a row. She complains about the press when she feels they are not singing her song while she uses the same press to throw mud at Barack.

Now we hear she will "win" Texas and Ohio (or as Bill recently lowered the bar once more, Ohio) to be able to convince the "super delegates" that she "is fit to be commander-in-chief. Yet, Hillary Clinton has not been able to manage a "common" campaign. She has displayed multiple personality unbecoming of the leader of the free world. Hillary has no single massage or theme in her campaign. The latest in her trick bag is being a "FIGHTER", probably fashioned after John Edward's campaign. She has to my utter dismay played the gender card (remember telling us that it will be a "sea change" for a woman to be the president of the United States during the Ohio debate?) If anyone else had said that (except Hillary) the press would have asked for your head to be delivered to Pilate. While I do not have any issues with a woman becoming the president, I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THIS WOMAN, HILLARY CLINTON!!!

What else does the DNC want to conclude this race to allow Barack Obama to face the Republican party who, incidentally, have no program for the American people except attacking personalities.? Hillary is causing more damage to the party with her loose sorrugates who are very slippery with their tongues. I wonder what the same people will say in Barack's defence when he eventualy clinches the nomination in November. We need to conclude this race very quiclky in order to "bury" the Bomber, McCain with his confused and skewed idea of "victory" in Iraq. McCain reminds one of a dysfuntional carpenter whose only tool, being a hammer, regards anything in front of him as a nail. He only talks about wars and millitay since he does not have the intellectual capacity to deal with the problems that confront the American people.

OPERATION CHANGE YOUR CHANNEL!!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 09:09:17 EST

I have always suspected that the lousy Media (especially, electronic) which assisted Ralph Nader in thwarting the aspirations of the American people by giving him undue coverage in 2000 elections in which this poky-faced ego-maniac assited George Bush to win the election will do the same thing again this year. My suspicion has been proved right if you consider how all the networks are falling over each other to have this old fool who does not understand what he wants in life (except running for the presidency time and time again without producing the desired results) appear on TV with his massage of confusion and doom.I have resolved to use the technology embedded in my TV remote control to check this nuisance named Ralph Nader. I SWITCH THE CHANNEL WHENEVER THAT POKY FACE SHOWS UP ON ANY CHANNEL!! Yes, I do not want to hear or see his face at all and that is ok by me since the networks are more concerned about ratings rather than the fate of the American people.WHAT DOES RALPH NADER WANT? I keep asking myself this question. This is a fool who has an inflated opinion about himself and his views. His arguement on why he has turned into a PROFESSIONAL PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT does not hold water. He is simply a SPOILER. If one does not agree with the MARXIST views espoused by this narssicist, Nader considers you not substansive. What a joke!!I will urge the DNC NOT TO IGNORE THIS FOOL THIS TIME AROUND. Nader must be clobbered with a sledge hammer. He should be defined to the American people for what he is- A MARXIST, A COMMUNIST. He pretends to speak for workers and poor people but eventually assists the anti-people agents (Republicans) in winning elections. Watch out for Republicans assisting Nader in both obtaining the number of signatures required to register as a candidate and funding. He may claim he raised money on the internet but we MUST FOLLOW HIS FUNDING.By the way, I sincerely hope that all of you who will be attending the Obama/Clinton debate in Ohio on Tuesday have equiped yourselves with protective clothings to protect you from the TOXIC WASTE Hillary promised to spew during the debate. Do not say I did not warn you. Remember her threat? MEET ME IN OHIO!!! Please contact the CDC, the National guard and don't forget the fire department.A word is enough for the wise.

Bravo Barack!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 07:29:33 EST

I am a blackman but I am here to commend Barack Obama for sticking to his principles (because his schedule will not allow him to attend) and not playing ethnic politics by succumbing to the idle threats of that smokey character called Tarvis Smiley to attend the "State of the Black Union" or whatever that means in New Orleans just to satisfy Mr Smiley's misplaced sense of importance.

The last time I checked, there is still a Republican president named George Bush in the White House. Katrina happened right under the nose of George Bush and the likes of Mr Smiley will rather direct their aggression to someone (BaracK) who has not even clinched the nomination of his party.

To think that the stupid jaw-jaws which Mr Smiley has employed to rub his self-inflated ego will solve Katrina is just to miss the point. Mr Smiley should direct his fire to the White House and Republicans who have criminally neglected New Orleans rather than looking for new scape goats to improve his ratings. For any one who has ever cared or has the misfortune to listen to Mr Smiley on Tom Joyner morning show (FM 104.1) you will feel dizzy in the head trying to figure out exactly what this ego-maniac is trying to say. He talks so much that I suspect that he himself does not undersatnd what he is saying (a lot of word salad).

New Orleans problem is an AMERICAN PROBLEM and not just a BLACK PROBLEM. I know that blacks may have been disproportionately affected but that does not mean that just that one white man, Latino or Asian-American who lost his/her property in New Orleans does not suffer an equal loss. This is where we begin to minimize other peoples' problems because we want to score points. Has Mr Smiley been tone deaf to listen when Barck states that the problems of any child anywhere in America is OUR PROBLEM and not just THEIR PROBLEM? This massage resonates with me (and I believe, American people). The problems of a White man, a Latino or any American, for summary, IS MY PROBLEM, PERIOD!!!! Mr Smiley, did you hear me?

The current campaign should be about America and folks should work under this frame to address issues affecting all our citizens. My heart goes out to our citizens who have suffered terrible losses in New Orleans but I have no illusions that Mr Smiley's ego trip will solve that problem. This country needs unity and a working majority to be able to solve our problems.

Mr Smiley can pretend all he wants but we know where his politics stands. He should not use poor and unfortunte folks who suffered losses at New Orleans to inflate his ego. Moreover, Mr Smiley cannot pretend that it is only Hillary that understands the problems in New Orleans just because she "accepted" his invitation to attend while he dismissed Michelle Obama's right to represent her husband (unless Barack is wheeled in),because at this point in time, the ever calculating Hillary is ready to attend any meeting (even if it is in hell) just to win this nomination.

Finally, Barack should resist attempts to "Balkanize" this election by schizophrenics like Tarvis Smiley. Keep your eyes on the ball-AMERICA!!!!

IS MAKING HISTORY A PART OF THE DEMOCRATIC DEAL IN 2008?

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:04:31 EST

What is this nonsense about making history that Hillary keeps repeating that electing her (and by extention, Barack) would make history. Are we in the business of making history or electing a LEADER (president) who is prepared to go against the odds and cynics to make America better?

I thought Hillary is finally in the "solutions" business,so, I cannot understand why she is lumping Barack into this her "history-making" rhetorics.

Barack should point out to voters that while it "will be nice" to make history, he is this race to serve the American people. Hillary can run as a WOMAN CANDIDATE" for all she cares. She is employing her devide-and-conquer nature into this race and is only using Barack as a smoke screen to achieve her goal.

The only history I believe that will be made in this election is sending the Republican party out into the political wilderness for more than fifty years. McCain wants American people to reward failure and crass incompetence by voting for him and the Republican party. Fear-mongering and threats of war and "keeping me safe" WILL NOT WORK THIS TIME FOR THE GOP

TIME FOR THE DNC TO ASK HILLARY TO QUIT!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 08:23:35 EST

I suspect that if Barack has been holding the shorter end of the stick in these primaries like Hillary and Bill are, the thunderuos chorus would have been for Obama to save the party by dropping his presidential bid. He would not have been given chance after chance, "firewall after firewall" like BILLARY has been given.

Why are we allowing BILLARY to drag the party down this road by employing all kinds of ploy and statements, including the new lexicon, DELEGATE POACHING. The Clinton campaign has been saying terrible things, arming these Republican zealots againts Barack in the general (not that I believe false attacks from Republican are going to work this time around).

It is time to demand that HILLARY QUITS to save the party this torture.

By the way, did any one see Bomber McCain (and his side sick) give what was intended to be a victory speech yesterday? Woa, I had to touch my face several times during that speech to reassure my self that I am still alife. It looked like a speech out of HELL (more wars, terror, terror and more terror, hope is idiotic even to consider it; Vietma, Viet con and more Vietnam)

McCain is indeed a man from the archives. He reminds me of STONE AGE!!!

WHERE ARE THE OBAMA MEDIA COMMUNICATION PEOPLE?

Theresa from Canton, GA — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:14:06 EST

What the hell is going on with this campaign? If you have been watching the news today, you will feel sorry for the Obama campaign for the amount of misinformation being spread by the likes of Howard Wolfson of the Clinton campaign and that old idiot, Pat Buchanan on Tucker Carlson's program on MSNBC.

Pat Buchanan has taken a well intentioned speech given by Michelle Obama on how hopeful she has become now that hope is returning to America to mean an "UNPATRIOTIC" statement as if Mr Buchanan holds the key to patriotism in America. Pat Buchanan and the likes of him among his generation has represented all that has been wrong with America which this election intends to change. Even the dump Ms. Mccain who rarely utters any word during the Bomber's campaign even jumped on Michelle's statement by stating, " I don't know about you, but I am proud of my country"

The Obama campaign is losing this press onslaught againt Barack and Michelle by individuals how are hiding behind a grand deception to thwart the will of the decent American people. The campaign should send out sorrugates to these media outlets to defend Obama before these stupid and misleading assertions by Pat Buchanan and Howard Wolfson takes a life of its own as the "swift" boats.

While we are raising money, we should also be ready to set up a quick response team that are ready to move aggressively to check any misinformation by Hillary and her agents.

NOW THAT HILLARY HAS DECIDED TO PLAY DIRTY

Theresa from Canton, GA — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:17:58 EST

Hi, all Obama supporters. Now that Hillary and her evil empire has decided to throw the sink with the kitchen at Barack, it is our duty to defend him. All of us should do the search and post it out there to any media any information about the Clintons. There are a lot of imformation out there.

I will not want the information to be associated with the Obama campaign.

The ball is in our court!!!

My APPEAL TO BARACK

Theresa from Canton, GA — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 09:39:22 EST

Please, Barack, DO NOT be tempted to go down the guttters with the desperate Clinton/s during the upcoming debates by trading insults on the stage.

Just keep your cool. Let her do the rantings and insults (as usual) and then, you can deliver the BLOW (rebutal) in a calm and cool manner employing your now famous sense of humor. I promise you, that will get her more agitated to commit an unforgivable blunder on the stage.

This is the opinion I got from sampling a couple of my friends who are either supporting you now or leaning towards supporting you.

Did anyone watch former president Bill Clinton almost "gorging" out the eyeballs of a heckler on TV yesterday? That was disgusting. Come to think of it, Bill was once our president. How did we survive that ugly side of him? This man is not supposed to be found NEAR the White House for any reason whatsoever. He will complete the embarrasssment he started in the 90s and Democrats will pay politically dearly for this.

We are not here to massage the political ego of the Clintons but to rescue America which is desperately gasping for air after experimenting with DYNASTY (Bush-Clinton-Bush-God forbid, Clinton).

CNN "UNRELIABLE SOURCES"

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 17 Feb 2008 11:02:56 EST

Has someone recently realized that Howard Curtz of CNN "Unreliable Sources" has become so obssessed with anti-Obama rhethorics becoming a "paid" agent of the Hillary campaign?. He seem to have an issue with everything from the Obama successes and Mitchelle Obama's press coverage.

To Howard and his pretentious psyche, Hillary is being pilloried by the press while Barack and Mitchelle are getting all the good press. He has forgotten that no matter how much you wash a pig, it will always be a pig. I am talking about Hillary Clinton. Howard and his cohorts cannot make Hillary what she is not (COLDLY CALCULATING, CONTROVERCIAL & DIVISIVE).

Howard does not and could not recognize a success story even when one is staring him in the face. He would rather defend Roger Clemens than acknowledge that Barack's story is typical of the American spirit of can-do. He is going after MSNBC Chris Mathews (who is no Liberal at the least) for being anti-Hillary while glorifying Obama.

Howard should be called out what he is- A PRETENDER and A PAID AGENT of the CLINTON CAMPAIGN. He can pretend to be fair but the last thing he is is balanced.

To Howard I will remind the good old adage in press coverage: DOG BITES MAN IS NO NEWS but MAN BITES DOG IS A HUGE STORY. Translate that to the inevitability status given to Hillary's presidential bid by the likes of Howard and where the political landscape is today. Howard would have been so happy if the daily story is how Obama has been buried by the Clinton campaign.

Shame on Howard and his pretentions to cover news!!!

Merry Go Round!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 11:56:59 EST

Good people of America, just think about this: IF YOU CANNOT RUN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN EFFECTIVELY (do I need to remind you about the FAMILY too), YOU CANNOT RUN A NATION.

It seem this is a problem with the Senator (and one Mayor who just dropped out from the race on the other side). Ironically, they are all from NY (no offence intended)

I have watched with amazement the Hillary campaign pull out all the "rabbits" in their magic bag to fool the voters. NONE SEEM TO BE WORKING.

Firstlty, it was INEVITABILITY (No show); the slogan changed to 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE (deaf ears): then came CHANGE WITH EXPERIENCE (who is fooling who?) and now in the red corner, featuring the Senator from NY (but with blue boxing gloves) here cooooooomes SOLUTIONS FOR AMERICA!!!!!!!

This is crap at its worst!!! Look, if you have ever watched a drowning man, Hillary and Bill cannot but stick in your memory at this point in their political lives. They did not see this coming. They had calculated that we will fooloishly send them back to the White House to ruin the gains made by the Democrats in 2006 elections.

Both characters (BILLARY) must be living in a coccoon to think that we are all fools and that the best things that have ever happened to America occured under the Clinton administration in the 90s. What an insult to those good LEADERS (read, presidents) who brought slavery to an end, instituted the social programs that we are all enjoying today and fought and won the first and second world wars.

NOTHING THAT BILL CLINTON EVER THOUGHT HE ACHIEVED WAS SUSTAINABLE!!! Thinks about that. He made people feel "good" by being everything to everyone without leaving anything to posterity (that is, if you forget Monica Lewinsky). Democrats lost the Congress during his tenure. Al Gore was so unfortunate to have been Bill's Vice president (ask him). Republican have ever since clobbered Democrats into a corner with their effective use of FEAR without any reasonable response from the DNC.

And here comes Barack who is ready to challenge that spirit of fear in us to take the country back from the Republican zealots. Bill and Hillary have failed to understand that we are NOt looking for another president (with a bag of solutions) this time around but we are looking for a LEADER!!!

If this country should go down with the Republican war mongers, those lunch bucket Democrats who think that Bill and Hillary will take care of their family dog for them would have failed this nation by not decisively dealing the final blow to Bill and Hillary's naked political ambitions by NOT VOTING FOR THEM IN THE PRIMARIES. Democrats need to conclude this unnecessry race in order to get ready for the Republicans who are, surprisingly, rallying behind the BOMBER, McCain, so as to face the general elctions.

It will be ironic for the Democrats to lose this election because they cannot make up their minds quickly (as usual). The Democratic party is begining to look like the NEW TRIBES MEN of Serbia and Kosovo where RACE, STATUS and GENDER is deciding the race.

What a pity!!!

Desperate Woman

Theresa from Canton, GA — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 09:50:09 EST

Desperation has no limits for a woman who has not even given a thought that the "coronation" she anticipated at the start of this primaries and caucuses season might not happen afteral.

Hillary Clinton must be very desperate otherwise, how can one explain her sudden love for "DEBATES" which I consider insufficient to inform and interact with voters to enable them make informed decisions about a candidate. She prefers sound bites and acting on TV as if she knows it all . This is a peek into her ARROGANT PERSONALITY.

I just watched her first negative ad againt Obama on TV in Wisconsin charging that Obama refused to appear on those insufficient and stage-managed so-called TV debates. Hillary must be afraid of going out, meeting and interacting with the voters and answering their questions whenever the opportunities call. Like her whole life which is stage-managed for greater effects, Hillary has come to believe that she "does well" in these debates. The last time I checked, Sen. Kerry beat George W. Bush in ALL the debated in the 2004 general elections but that did not get him elected.

Elections is about going out and meeting with people and so I do not understand why this desparado will deny voters this right by chosing to put up with these time constrained and scripted TV debates.

The Obama campaign should check her false insinuations IMMEDIATELY on TV by pointing out to voters that HILLARY IS AFRAID TO COME TO TALK WITH THEM FACE-TO-FACE. This is a democracy and not the TV series called Desperate Women.

I have even heard Hillary say she does not like caucuses because she does not do well here. That is a very vivid admission that she is a TV CANDIDATE and not the PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE!!!. If people do not interact personally with a candidate and depends on those TV sound bites to make up their minds, then, we have a skewed democracy. Bill Clinton did not win on TV and so I do not understand why Hillary will chose to win the presidency on TV.

Did you get my point?

NOT TO BE TRUSTED

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 06:44:20 EST

Folks, beware of someone who likes to change the rules in the middle of a game especially if they figure out that the game is not favoring them.

The charade put up by Hillary and her cohorts down in Florida yesterday was very telling and at the same time laughable. The last time I checked, the DNC (Democratic National Committee) ruled that Florida primaries will not count and that non of the candidates should campaign in Florida and not the least, CLAIM VICTORY from a GHOST ELECTION. Not Hillary. Once she feels that she is put in a tight corner she WILL DO ANYTHING OR SAY ANYTHING to appear to be winning. And down to Florida Hillary went to "CLAIM A NON EXISTENT VICTORY".

This her behavior smacks of INDISCIPLINE!!! It means she cannot not abide by a simple agreement even when she is a signatory to that document. The Clintons are prepared to disobey and even break up the Democratic party if the votes do not favor them. What a pity. This is a "girl" who wants to be the president of the United States. HILLARY CANNOT KEEP A PROMISE SHE HAS MADE.

Seriously, I will like all those folks who are nostalgic for whatever flimpsy reason about the Clintons to think twice. When you cast your vote for a candidate, you have handed over most of your fate to that person for the next four years and you will TRUST that they hold that your confidence sacred for you during this period. DO NOT HAND YOUR FATE TO BILLARY!! You will regret it.

I urge the Obama campaign to point out this INDISCIPLINE exhibited by Hillary to the voters. Yes, all of us will want the Florida votes to count but since they are under sanction by the DNC for putting the party in a difficult position, every candidate is bound to respect this. This is supposed to be a gentleman's agreement. Hillary is injecting that her infamous divisiveness into the Democratic party by going down to Florida to claim a DECEPTIVE AND NON-EXIXTENT VICTORY. If she were my child, I will give her a thorough "spanking" for her disobedience.

I am sure she finds it difficult to sleep at night. She sees Barack in her dreams. She must REACT to anything Barack does if only to prove her point. What a pity for someone who claims to have so much "experience" while ducking behind her husband's apron.

By the way, before I sign off, has anyone lately seen Hillary's "new" poster? It reads SOLUTION FOR AMERICA!!! No wonder we are all still in this mess. Does anyone need a job to print posters with a new slogan? You might find one with the BILLARY camp. Cheers.

WE NEED A LEADER, NOT A MANAGER.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 07:06:17 EST

Great Americans, listen to me. There comes a time when the human spirit says enough is enough an frees itself from the shackles of the LANDLORDS amd LANDLADIES. We are at that point in time now.

I remember watching Barack Obama at the Democratic convention four years ago with awe when he said that we are all Americans rather than from blue or red states. I remember telling my wife to watch out for this inspirational figure to play a very big role in delivering the masses from the princess of darkness when the time comes. THAT TIME HAS COME!!!

Once in a life time, God looks upon a nation with mercy and choses one of his creations to bring the massage of hope, unity and prosperity. IT IS LEFT FOR THE PEOPLE TO TAKE THIS MASSAGE OR REJECT IT (to their peril). I belive that the last seven years of the Bush (Republican) RULE is an awakening call for all of us who are morally and politically asleep to wake up and take our fate in our own hands, proded by a LEADER.

We do not need another MANAGER who will feed us from the crumps off her table, massage her ego (and his ego too, if you know what I mean) and leave us dry, perpetauting a vicious cycle of uncertainty. They made us "feel good" in the 90s but we are all smarter now that those policies were not sustainable. Yes, let them blame Bush for every bad thing that has happened to us but remember that a house built on sand was not meant to stand.

They claimed the 90s were the best times we ever had and will rather want us to be glancing over our shoulders (Did I just hear 35 years of experience?). They never mentioned their HUGE FAILURES. NAFTA; RWANDA; THREAT OF OSAMA BIN LADDEN (Osama Been Hiding); THE HAITIAN BOAT PEOPLE; THE CRUSHING DEFEAT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AT THE 2000 ELECTIONS; NON DELIVERY OF HEALTHCARE BILL; POLITICS OF SLASH-AND-BURN, MONICA LEWINSKY, WHITE WATER (Blue Water) and the list goes on. I have never seen a person who wants to reach the finish line in a marathon while focusing on his back. That is exactly what the group of Democrats who are romanticizing with the so-called Clinton 90s are doing. I have two words for them: THAT WAS NOT MEANT TO LAST and THE 90s ARE GONE AND GONE FOREVER!!! This is 2008!!! Wake up America. Wake Democrats. Do not be fooled again into massaging the Clintons' ego by voting these two characters into the White House. They represent the past. They are deceitful. They are scandal-prone. All they are thinking of now is the HISTORY BOOKS (Yes, my wife and I were the presidents of the Unites States). They have even taken Chelsea on campaign trips to learn the trade (while playing dumb to the press).

Lastly I join millions of Americans to thank the Kennedy family in coming out to support the dream and the truth. Any one (especially the Clintons) who minimizes this endoresment does so at their own peril. By the way, they sought for it but did not receive it.

SHIP AHOY!!!!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 08:56:02 EST

YES WE CAN!!!!. The Almighty God has done it again!!. Once more, the voters of South Carolina has proven to the cynics that they will not accept the label of "Racism" the Clintons and the lazy American electronic media is trying to stamp on their foreheads by voting their conscience in the SC primaries yesterday. SOUTH CAROLINA, WE LOVE YOU!!!!

My faith in this great country, America keeps leaping in bounds when I realize that the average American is NOT what the Pat Buchanans of MSNBC will rather wish we become. (did anyone watch that old hog yesterday on MSNBC trying to minimize and insult the sensibility of the good people of SC by suggesting that Barack's victory is a pyhrric victory based on race?)

I was stunned and speechless when at just 7pm ET, the CNN flashed the news that Barack has been projected the be the winner of the Democratic party SC primaries. That was the FASTEST election result I have witnessed in a long long time, if ever. I did not realize that the good news was still to come when the votes were tallied and Barack won by a landslide. This goes to show that the American electorate are light years ahead of the media who got it wrong again by projecting a 10 point lead by Barack over the LANDLADY. No one should ever, ever listen to those speculations by the media. They have failed to put their finger on the pulse of America voters squarely.

The SC voters also did one thing that will warn any politician- they rejected cynicism, racial politics, scorched-earth politics and politics as usual. They told the media NOT to interpret their intentions. They REJECTED the CLINTONIAN politics of ANYTHING GOES AS LONG AS I WIN. Is Bill still out there? That a former president of America will inject race into politics as long as the "wife" win an election is unbelievable and stomach-wrenching. As long as I live, Bill Clinton now belongs to the gutters. He has been able to show us the REAL BILL, thanks to this primaries. I am sure that a lot of voters in SC made a statement to the Clintons with their votes.

For anyone whos cares to listen, I am saying this for the umpteenth time, HILLARY & BILL CLINTON(S) CANNOT WIN A GENERAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER, should they prevail in this primaries. For those Democrats who are sticking to Hillary because they think that Bill did so wonderfully well in the 90s that all our problems have gone away, they need to re-think seriously if they donnot want the Republicans to retain the White House after their 8-year of misrule by letting the Clintons prevail in this primaries. To these folks I say, DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE. DO NOT SACRIFICE YOUR FUTURE TO APPEASE BILL & HILLARY.

Bill and Hillary will do ANYTHING to win an election. Did you just hear Hillary talking about Florida (in a rather defiant manner) on the night she was whipped by the SC voters? Bill and Hillary do not mind bending the rules in the middle of a game as long as they feel it will benefit them. They employed this ugly tactics in Nevada when they tried to disenfranchise the Casino voters by going to court to stop them from voting at their earlier agreed precints at the Casinos. Here they go again with their dirty tricks by trying to change the party decision about Florida. The Democratic party should call the bluff of these two characters (Bill & Hillary) and stick to the decision on Florida.

Finally, I have one word for the Clintons, DROP YOUR RACIAL POLITICS, IT DOES NOT "GELL".

Bill,Hillary & MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction)

Theresa from Canton, GA — Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:37:09 EST

How times have changed. It was postulated that the Clintons will wish for an African-American to become the president of the United States UNTIL the political opponent is a CLINTON!!!. Not on their watch!!!

How I wished Bill Clinton has not been making these derogatory and racially-coded remarks about Barack Obama. How I wished Hillary Clinton has not been so stupid as to make that insensitive remark about MLK and Obama (she was not obliged to have challenged Barack on that issue). How I wished the LAZY American Media (especially, the electronic media whose only concern is ratings) had not suggested the "Brady Effect" when Barack lost in New Hampshire despite the polls. How I wished Hillary had stuck to her "inevitability and ready-to-be-president on day one campaign slogan" without going into the gutters, presumably, on the advice of Bill and his cohorts.

Well, all I can do now is only WISHING. The race genie has been let out of the bottle in the Democratic party and I promise you IT AIN'T EASY TO POP IT BACK into the bottle again no matter what all of us may wish. I had earlier said that the issue of race is likened to faith, and is mostly without reason, but effemeral.

I had thought, as an independent, that race-based politics is a "Republican Disease" but how mistaken I was. THERE ARE STILL A LOT OF RACISTS WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!. And they are mostly White, some Blacks and a few Hispanics. Otherwise, how could one explain the trends we have been witnessing in the polls since the Clintons lost in Iowa and unleashed reminding everyone, especially white voters that "Barack is Black" without admitting that that is what they are doing; typical Clinton lies and deceit!!!. Bill and Hillary are ready to sacrifice the Democratic party in their inordinate ambition to capture the White House and fullfil their DYNASTIC ambition. Bill has this misplaced belief that he is loved and admired by ALL Democrats no matter what trash he spews. How dumb he is to think like that. He needs to go into peoples' homes (not the press) to see how damaged he has become since he injected himself into this tag-team electioneering campaign with Hillary againts Barack Obama. It would not have costed him anything if he remained civil. Mmm Mmm, not Bill and his misplaced and inflated ego.

I heard Barack mention that while he will be able to re-unite with those who voted for Hillary sholud he become the nominee in November, while the reverse will be the case with Hillary, I believe him 1000%. Barack has a knack for speaking the truth that every other person will want to shy away from and he has been unfairly attacked by those who wish to play the Ostrich. For instance, I will rather tear up my voters registration card than vote for any Clinton ever again, not after this mess they've exposed about themselves. They used to be my heros until now. I can claim that I now know the REAL CLINTONS!!!

I weep for this country because most times we vote ourselves into oblivion for some mundane reasons that are not based on real issues. If anyone thinks that President Bush has not levelled with American people, wait until you vote the Clintons into the White House. Lies, cover-ups, triangulation, deceit, scandals, you name it, that is what you will expect from this twosome, should they be voted into the White House. I had thought that Democrats, unlike Republican, vote for real issues and not trivialities. Here we are watching the Democratic party ensure a MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction) based on allowing the Clintons and their cohorts (whites and blacks) play this ugly racial politics while "wishing" that everyone will fall in line in November after they have succeeded in destroying a HOPE (Barack Obama). How stupid they are to ever think that that "wish" will materialize in November.

I will rather see a reasonable Republican in the White House in November than the Clintons. Bill and Hillary represent the ugly, sweet-bitter past of the Democratic party. They HAVE NOTHING more to offer in 2008. Both are only thinking about the history books, NOT my America, no matter how much they pretend. In a country of over 300 million smart and industrious people, I cannot fathom how our salavation will lie in these two political birds (Bill & hillary) who have not done any other thing in their life time except running for political office. What are the results? I cannot see any. And when Hillary mentions her "35 years of experience" it reminds me of everything that has been wrong about our politics and America. She is campaigning as the candidate that can withstand the "Republican Attacks". Is that not what we are wishing that we will drop in politics in America? Is that not what Barack has been telling us that his candidacy will want to bring to an end? Look, the Republican is an AMERICAN!!

I will always vote HOPE (based on honesty) than all the experience in the world. It is 'experience" that has brought us to where we are today (failing economy, loss of individual rights, war of choice in Iraq, dishonest goverment, squandamania etc, etc).

The Democratic party does not need to go into the gutters and lose the GENERAL ELECTION with the Clintons. We need to call their bluff and tell them that their ambition is secondary to the ideals and survival of the party, otherwise, the Democrats will be like that individual in the Bible who had a peek at the promised land but NEVER made it ,come November. Does anyone still remember the Carter vs Kennedy duel that brought in Ronald Regan?. Here we go again!!!

Bill Clinton: Crass Ambition or Overcompensation?

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:09:29 EST

I am an independent BUT I worry for the Democratic party. This is a party that is just one step towards victory but will NOT reach that goal should the Clintons continue in their "scorched-earth politics" of entitlement and personal destruction in their bid to capture the White House. The Democratic party will live to regret the tactics employed by the Clintons at the end of the day. I suspect that the dress will not be able to hold at the seam come November, should Bill and Hillary "win" the nomination by this method.

Like faith, the issue of race is mostly emotional and unreasonable sometimes. At one point it was the white vs black devide. Recently at Nevada, the Latino has been thrown into the mix. I remember the moderator asking Hillary about some statement attributed to her campaign that Latinos are not favored towards voting for a "black" candidate to which she gave one of her often evasive answers that was not followed up by the moderator.

The Democratic party is doomed to fail at the end of it all because there will be bruised feelings that will be difficult to reconcile come November as some people are wont to dismiss. It will come in the form of aparty or protest votes that will cost the party the White House.

Bill Clinton needs to be urgently reigned in by the party if they wish to avoid this. He has dimished himself so much in the sight of many in his "greed" to get his wife elected that he has thrown all decorum overboard. I did not remember seeing Bush Senior disgracing himself during the election campaign of the current president Bush. Bill has become so dirty, grouchy, deceitful and confrontational very unbecomming of a former president. I watched a panel of discussants on Fox News and their take is that what the American people need to worry about is; if Hillary CANNOT CONTROL Bill during the campaigns, it will be almost impossible for her to control him in the White House. This will be the Republican party weapon against the Clintons in November which I think will scare a lot of voters especially, Evangelicals to troop out in numbers and vote against her in November.

I repeat again, Hillary Clinton is NOT ELECTIBLE in the general election. She may already know this but is trying to avoid "humiliation" by an Obama defeat or she erroneously believes that she and Bill are the greatest things to happen to the American polity.

Lets stop and think. A Chinese proverb says, "teach me to fish rather than offering me fish". Those "BUCKET LIST" Democrats who believe that the Clintons will baby-sit for them and take care of their family dogs when they get to the White House should look more critically at the Bill Clinton so-called legacy:

1. NAFTA: which has robbed America of manufacturing jobs. Jobs were taken overseas to cheaper unregulated economies like China. All we got is WalMart!!! Michigan are you listening?

2. No sustainable growth: we got I-feel-alright jobs that did not survive his departure from the White House.

3. Democrats lost their majority in both Congress due to Bill's indiscretions (Monica!!!!) and the Clinton-fatigue. Call this progress?

4. His vice president, Al Gore could NOT be elected, again due to the Clinton factor. I am sorry for any vice president that will serve under the Clintons once more. The Clintons do not care about what happens to you after they have left the White House.

The Iowa voters re-affirmed my confidence in the common cause and decency of the average American but all that is going up in flames by this divide-and-conquer politics employed by Bill and Hillary.

Bill Clinton is an EGOMANIAC who needs to be leashed by the Democratic party if they want to remain one in November. He is affraid that someone else will overshadow his "influence" in the Democratic party should another person be elected president rather that Hillary. It is all about ego, politics and greed. I do not believe in "POLITICAL SANTAS" hence my strong dislike for the politics of the Clintons. They think they know what I want (remember Hillary's Christmas TV message?). Did I remind you I hate the concept of DYNASTY?

A Couple of Points to Note

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 20 Jan 2008 18:56:28 EST

Wonders shall never end. At first, I thought it was just an informative clip, then I thought it was a joke but I finally realized that it was a political campaign inside my church (Catholic) in Woodstock, GA as part of the sermon presented by my parish priest at the 9AM mass. The theme was on the so-called "Right-to-Life". He preached and urged parishioners NOT to vote for any candidate who proposes the "Right-to-Chose" and compared any one who holds such as virtual murderers. This was after he showed some clips on "fetal development" presented by some Proffesor from MIT in Boston.

At the end of it all, a part of the congregation stood up and clapped for him but another fairly large segment neither stood up nor cheered. I was among this later group. I remembered screaming at the top of my voice in disgust at the introduction of politics based on just one issue, ABORTION, in the Catholic church. Leaflets were even distributed with the various candidates photos and positions on stem cell research, abortion and partial birth abortion. Parishioners were told that voting for any candidate who supports the right to chose is aiding and abeting murder.

I felt such a revulsion that the parish priest did not campaign against poverty, inequality, racism, corporate greed, lack of health insurance, broken promises by politicians, the wrong and misguided war in Iraq and a lot of other issues that matter to the American people. Infact, according to him, the issue of abortion trumps all the other issues I earlier mentioned. He went about to praise President Bush and reminded the parishioners that Bush has appointed two pro-life judges and that it will take another pro-life president to be elected in order to appoint "just one more pro-life judge" to overturn Roe vs Wade. He berated supreme court judge Kennedy who he described as a Catholic voting in favor of mudering unborn children. I thought to myself that this is an orchestrated campaign against Democrats. Please be advised that I am an independent and Catholic but I have the hunch that a lot of parishioners who are Democrats will be awfully pissed off by this ill-adviced introduction of the politics of "pro-life" and "pro-choice" politics in the church. I thought the churches are supposed to be neutral in the choice of who becomes the president of United States, especially, when it is based on issues of personal choices as abortion.

Look, I am one of those who believe that salvation is a personal affair and cannot be decreed or legislated by the politician, hence, my opposition to this parish priest trying to influence my vote with this moral issue. The so-called drug war is an issue to point out. Did it stop anything? The last time I checked, the Catholic Church is yet to purge itself of the issue of pedophilia. Most of the presidential candidates, especially on the Republican side, have issues of morality that will not favor my vote if it is strictly based on morality. The Catholic church leaves parishioners with not many options. It favors "population expolsion", frowns at abortion, discourages contraception and yet I have not seen the church fight for mandatory government-assited healtcare, especially for the indigent, who are the end product of their ideology.

Lets face it, I will like the IRS to pay close attention to these"political parties" masquerading as places of worship and remove their tax exemption status if they try to influence votes. I love my catholicism but I hate anyone in the church attempting to influence my politics based on just one issue, ABORTION!!! (which ofcourse I do not favor, mind you)

A Word for The Obama Campaign

Theresa from Canton, GA — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 06:59:58 EST

I watched the Nevada debate last night and while I admired the civility of the debate, I am horrified to see that Hillary was virtually given a free pass to blurr issues concerning her records, effectively using the debate to "shoot and duck" at both Obama and Edwards, while pretending to be "keeping the peace".

Was it the fear of "the boys ganging up against the girl" that prevented Barack to draw sharp contrasts between his positions and that of Hillary? Even Edwards did a better job at that.

The Obama campaign has allowed Bill and Hillary to run away with and blurred their vote on Iraq war by casting doubts about Obama's stance and vote against the war. The last time I checked it was Hillary who voted for the war, has NOT said she is SOORY for send our troops to die in a war of choice ( poor calculated judgment) and continues to vote for the funding of the war. She has effectively turned the table on Barack to cast doubts about where he stood with this Iraqi debacle without any effective and forceful responcse and contrast from the Obama campaign.

You will almost think that her campaign is being run by Carl Rove (who knows). Obama should henceforth draw forceful and focused contrasts between him and Hillary (who is a smart ass). Obama should remember that it is NOT all voters who are rational. Some voters can be easily influenced if Hillary continues to tell her lies about her 'records" repeatedly (otherwise I cannot understand why someone will only make up their minds about who to vote for inside the polling booth).

Obama should harp on the fact that Hillary displayed her poor judgement and cold political calculations by voting for the wrong war; that she is very polarizing and divisive (no matter how she pretends that she has changed, since even the cameleon can change); that we will be drawn back to the old rivalries between the Republicans, Fox News and conservative commentators that NOTHING will be achieved in Washington should Hillary prevail; that we are allowing DYNASTY to creep into our polity by the revolving-door-election of BUSH-CLINTON-BUSH-?Clinton domination of our politics. Send emails IF YOU CANNOT VOICE these concerns!!!! Lastly, Hillary is like a patient with OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder) who thinks she is very experienced and meticuluos but is ABSOLUTELY INEFFICIENT!!!

Hillary is UN-ELECTIBLE in a general election. Quote me. I talk to folks who are independents like me, leaning democtatic because of the Republican 7-Year-of-Horror occupying the White House who think that Hillary is a extension of the Bush regime and so will either not come out and vote during the general election or will cast a protest vote against her.

I wonder if the Obama campaign read our blogs to pick up ideas (this is like a focus group, if you know what I mean). Allowing Hillary to throw in the Al Queda fear-mongering into a Democratic discourse is unbelievable. And Barack and Edwards allowed her to voice this nonsense and get away with it? I thought it is the Republicans that are "wishing us another 9/11" by their using fear to keep voters in check.

Finally, Barack should remember that the James Carville strategy for Hillay henceforth is hit-an-run. Put out outrageuos statements or contrasts against Barack, blurr issues and lines of stark differencies in their positions and potray Barack as inexperienced and unfit to be a commander-in-chief in the minds of voters and then clinch the nomiation (ONLY TO LOSE IN THE GENERAL SO LONG AS SHE DOES NOT SUFFER HUMILIATION BY LOSING TO BARACK).

Obama is begining to be docile on issues after issues since the New Hampshire primaries by allowing Hillary to make his case and even define him. That was what cost Kerry the election. Contrasting positions is not an ATTACK!!!. Obama should do more of these if he expects to win. He should remember that it was the sharp contrasts he and Edwards drew agaisnt Hillry earlier on that worked. He does not need to make another announcement to the press that he will once more go after Hillary on her records and issues that matter to the voters. For now, Hillay is WINNING the arguement.

Now that a "truce" has been called.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 06:12:08 EST

Life is full of surprises. The last place I, as an independent leaning Democratic because of Obama, expected to see the issue of RACISM rear its ugly head is in the Democratic party. I have always thought that this subject is the exclusive property of the Republican party. How mistaken I was. However, being able to recognize that one is at the edge of a precipice and pulling back is a sign of strength rather that weakness.

With this statement, I commend all those who are working assiduously behind the scene to pour cold water on this simmering monster that is sure to destroy the Democratic party. I urge especiaaly the Clinton campaign to reign in all their surrogates who are playing politics ala Republican style. Tell me you have not been infected with the "Republican Disease".

It is one thing to support your candidate but it is another thing to "over-compensate" in the process of doing that as exemplified by the cuurent utterances of Bill Clinton and his piheads like Bob Johnson. It is one to to "win" and another to "govern" effectively. A house devided against itself is nothing but a deck of cards waiting for its ultimate fate.

I also suspect that the likes of James Carville and Paul Begalla have joined the Clinton crowd (surreptitiously though) and are re-enacting that "shouting-match politics" of the discredited CNN "CROSS FIRE" where the likes of Turker Carlson of MSNBC learned his now infamous bad manners. Ask me why? The campaign has been "civil" until I heard Carville and Begalla were consulted by the Clinton campaign when they feared the concept of losing back-to-back from Iowa to Barack (God will forever bless those Iowans for restoring my faith in race-blind voting). Democrats should reject this type of politics and embrace the politics of ideas. I am embracing Barack not because he is "black" but because I can see so much potential and the idea of a new begining in this young man. I also love John Edwards but I know Barack will do a better job uniting this country behind a common cause.

So much damage has been done to this country by George Bush and his coniving Republicans that it will take a united Democratic Party to fix it. I get amused when I watch these Republican gorging out their eyes campaining for votes during the primaries that I wonder who they actually want to govern come 2008. They have absolutely no shame whatsoever about what damage they have done to this great country.

My parting word for the Democrats is, "a word is enough for the wise". Good luck!!!!

Here comes the Clintons!!!!

Theresa from Canton, GA — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 10:26:02 EST

Give me a break!!! Why are the Clintons so dishonest that they tend to speak from both sides of the mouth. They are only being smart by half by trying to spin themselves out of the dirty politics they thought will work for them when folks catch them pants down in their game. I get more infuriated when I hear their sorrugates who has spread all over the media trying to minimize the damage they have brought onto themselves by their callous comments on MLK and Barack Obama.

Look, I did not hear Barack say he is MLK. He only used the inspiration driven by MLK and FJK to support his arguement that those who dream with hope will get to the promised land. It is NOT the duty of Hillary to take him on that issue but since she CHOSE to do that in a very derogatory manner in order to get to Barack, she deserve to suffer the consequencies of her POOR JUDGEMENT!!!.

I predict that the Clintons will bring down the Democratic party with their inordinate ambition to get to the White House. They are so divisive that they have brought this very ugly trait into the party. The Democrats cannot manage success and I see it slipping away from them with the Clintons. The last time I checked, Bill is NOT running for president but he has managed to interject himself so much into the campaign that I feel that he is running for a 3rd term. So, it means that he will be a defacto 3rd term president should Hillary "win". I hate DYNASTY in all it's ramifications and that is the road the "bucket list" Democrats are leading this nation by thinking that the Clintons are some sort of Santa who will bring them "crumps" off the table. This is where I admire conservatives who believe in individual efforts, assisted by good governance. I do not want folks to live off my tax money doled out by government if they are healthy enough to work and contribute to the commonwealth.

Lastly, I want to remind Democrats that you do not make progress by wishing about yesterdays (the 90s). Hope for the future is what keeps us going in life. The 90s have COME AND GONE forever!! You cannot apply the wishes of the 90s in 2008. Remember, people get the kind of goverment the "vote" God save us from King and Queen Bill & Hillary Clinton!!!

The Clintons and The Politics of Entitilement and Take-No-Captives.

Theresa from Canton, GA — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 17:44:55 EST

On my blog of 01/08/08, I warned about the free pass given to Bill Clinton by the Obama campaign to run his mouth on his distorted views about what he feels that the press should check out about Obama.

Since, then, these two-for-one candidacy and dynasty (Bill & Hillary) has been exhibiting "scorched earth politics" in their bid to capture the White House by making subtle racial statements either directly or through their sorrugates in order to marginalize the Obama candidacy. The most worrisome is the current statement by a "black man" Bob Johnson, who as we understand, is a Clinton supporter, making denigrating references against a fellow black presidential candidate (Obama) about drug use as a teenager, which by the way, was honestly revealed by Obama in one of his books.

As a black man and an independent, I find these trends stomach-wrenching and urge all African-American voters to see the devilish plan the Clinton campaign has mapped out to create confusion and division among the black voters, who they believe to have a devided loyalty to the Clintons since obama seem to be making inroads to these group of voters.They hope that with discord sown into the black community, the "dedicated white democratic voters"-who said there are no racists among white democrats- will help them to win the primaries.

Hillary Clinton's comment about MLK has put to rest what ever doubts I have about these two about their using the black population for their political gains. The black race should wake up from their slumber about these cowards who will not own up to what they said but just to spin it. "From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaket".

I have made up my mind about the Clinton, though belatedly. Instead of casting my vote for these two-some, I will close my nose and vote for any Republican candidate should the Clintons prevail by this type of dirty politics which they claim to have been victims of in the 90's.

I once again warn the Obama campaign that it is not always the right thing to do by allowing someone esle, not even the Clintons, to define you without striking back more forcefully. Bill is a dangerous man who can deny his existence even when he is standing right there before you. I hope you get what I mean. I am only being polite.

I predict that Democrats will have the Kerry-moment if they chose to be clobbered into a corner by the Clintons in the general election- so much "experience" but unelectible. There will be many protest votes like mine to teach the Democratic Party establishment a lesson that while they can have their way within the party, we will have our way during the general elections. Qoute me!!!!

Bill Clinton Factor

Theresa from Canton, GA — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 15:17:21 EST

Look, has anyone noticed that Barack is running against two candidates in the Clinton campaign instead of one? Bill and Hillary. The last time I checked, it is Hillary that is supposed to be on the ballot but I am appalled at how low bill Clinton is descending in order to ensure that his wife win just for him to get back to the White House.

I have just realized how eccentric this man is and I have come to hate his guts. I am a independent currently leaning Democratic and I wish the Obama campaign should not give a free ride to Bill Clinton to go about talking rubbish about Barack. He, Bill was forgiven by the Democratic Party and the American people for bringing the White House to disrepute with his inability to keep his pants tightly belted (remember Monica?) and he has no SHAME opening his mouth to unfairly criticize Barack for having the guts to dream the same dreams he Clinton had in 1992 after he emerged as an inconsequential governor from a remaote city of Hope, Arkansas.

Bill Clinton must be checked by the Obama campaign if you do not want this eccentric man who thinks he is a gift to humanity to damage this movement by throwing out unsubstantiated arguements about Barack during his campaign stumps for Hillary.

American people need to be reminded that this country is a democracy, and not a dynasty which the Clintons and Bushes want us to believe; in a country of more than 300 million people. To me, the Clintons are more interested in power than they are in solving people's problems.

Please remind voters about the ugly side of Bill if he would not want to run a civil campaign for this wife. He feels he owes Hillary a "dept" to get her elected to the White House. Enough of this Bill Clinton rubbish!!!
