    I support a unified ticket, however, seeing as Obama is too young and too cocky to be VP and Hillary wouldn’t work under him, i don’t think that’s an option. Hillary presents the best politics, with the best plans, and a course of action. Obama is a wonderful uniter and quite the inspirational speaker. However, I’m afraid that his politics are back room than we have seen here. He may be a good front man, but he seems to be seems to be picking and choosing his policies from those around him.
    Hillary has the most “new-deal” politics of either of them. When reading through them, Barack’s Health Care plan would be equivalent to making Social Security Optional. When our country is once again in an economic slum, when we drastically need to change our world-wide image, it’s time for us to acknowledge that it is, indeed time to wake up.
    I support Hillary Clinton because she has sown through her record, and through her policy proposals that she has a vision for the country.
    That being said, we also have to remember that in these primaries, both of these candidates are preaching to the choir. The folks who show up to these rallies are already voting democrat, they’re just deciding which of the two. Hillary says we need to decide who we would hire for the toughest position in the world. Barack sings to his masses and they hail him as their great uniter.
    My heart is moved by Barack’s vision, my head by Hillary’s motives. They’re almost identical in their politics, but on the real: I think it’s high time a vagina wield the worlds biggest pair of balls.

    Obama is the best democratic candidate we have seen in a long time…Hilary has experience, but that experience hasn’t gotten us any further down road than we hoped. She has launched smear campaigns of great proportions, and uses shifty marketing devices to scare votes to her side—-worthy of the people’s trust, I think not.

    Barack Obama is not a perfect candidate, but neither are the rest of them—BUT he is the best man for the job. He is honest, has integrity, has the people’s vote, and I truly believe he has America at heart. With everyone’s vote, we can finally be proud of America and end the Bush/Clinton nightmares that has made this county the laughing stock of the world.

    Won’t say, but I know a lot of fellow gay people seem to be supporting Hillary but wasn’t she in support with her husband on the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell military policy and also for the constitutional amendment to make marriage only between a man and a woman? Hmmmm. I guess that’s something we can munch on – (pardon the pun).

    this is exactly how I feel. there is something to be said for “experience”, that is for sure, but I have no faith that Hillary’s “experience” means she will use it to make the kind of difference I am looking for the next president to make.

    I don’t know what I want to do. My Son is turning 18. He is asking me and I am not sure what to tell him. I was voting for Hillary in the beginning but now. I am not so sure.(Much Luv B)

    This is tough. They both are worthy candidates and both would bring something very exciting to Washington. I really like Obama, but every time I hear Hillary speak, outline her proposals, reflect on the state of the country, discuss what change really means to her and her campaign, and express her qualifications to be the next president, she just wins me over. She is READY to be President. She really “gets it” in my opinion. And I think she will usher our country into a new beginning with the economy, health care, energy use, and foreign policy. She is READY!

    Since they are similar in regards to many issues, it’s their behavior that has resonated with me. Obama for 2 reasons.

    1) For all of her “experience”, Mrs. Clinton has run a horrible campaign. She and everyone around her thought she was entitled to be the Democratic nominee and they didn’t take the other candidates seriously. Obama fought hard to be in the position he is in today–and neither she nor her staff realized he was a force to be reckoned with until the day after Super Tuesday. How can she be ready to be president when she wasn’t ready to be a candidate?

    2) Clinton Race Baiting. I don’t think the Clintons themselves are racist–but they aren’t above stirring up racist feelings in others if it gets them one more vote. The whole “Latinos don’t vote for blacks – Latinos will save/be a firewall for Hillary” did we really need that? How is it good for the party to stir up mess between 2 blocks of traditional democratic voters? What’s the rational behind this- that no matter how much bad feeling is provoked between Latino and Black communities, they will vote for a white female democrate over a white male republican, so it’s okay? No need to even get into some of the shady speeches of her husband. Mr. Obama hasn’t resorted to trying to pit communities against each other to get ahead.

    Barack Obama!! Hillary is lying about this 30+ years of experience. She supported the Iraq war. She is clearly unstable as is made evident by her crazed bipolar tirades of late. She and her husband love the “you people” mantra. Let’s get some fresh blood in the White House.

    lol omg, nick that is a bit harsh. let’s be intellects—at least for one post. lol

    Versai, your post reflects my thoughts EXACTLY..great post.

    I definately feel OBAMA will get Texas. I went to Houston’s rally last night and it was PACKED. I have gone to concerts and never had I seen so many people–all different ages, sizes, races, and background. It was beautiful and a perfect portrait of the great nation of the United States.

    I just would like to say this, to get this out of my system: I think people are REALLY getting tired of Hilary trying to throw the garbage at Obama instead of trying to run a good clean race. She is definately not someone i want representing the USA from a global standpoint.

    LASTLY, the way she is playing the Latin and Gay community like a fiddle just to conjure votes is disgustingly twisted…she cares about neither and her experience (read: history) proves this. Do your research then try to tell me it is not the truth.

    I was torn for a long time until I seen them debate in Cleveland (I live in Ohio). After that….Barak had me. This man stays on topic and he doesn’t implicate Hillary unless he needs to. With every answer Hillary gave, she had to reference Barak. She did not stand on her own. She can’t even talk about anything in depth except for Health Care, lol. This country needs more than some damn Health Care, lol. She showed her weakness. When you have to constantly and consistently put another person down to make yourself look good…there is a problem. Barak is also very charismatic. I love his calm and unwavering composure. I felt like I was watch an old school free-style battle and every time Barak gave a response…I was like “OOOOOOOOO…he got choo”, LMAO.

    Just to add to what I said. I wouldn’t mind seeing both in office as Pres and Vice Pres, because I feel that they both can bring somethings to the table that this country needs….but, lol, if I have to pick one, that choice is not hard at all……..BARAK, BARAK, BARAK, lol

    Hillary. Plain and simple. She’s in the only one with the intelligence, experience and gumption to do what needs to be done for this country. Barak is nothing but a show. He’s all style with NO substance. He recites speeches that other people write and he goes through the motions but if he gets put into office, we’re gonna have an even bigger mess to clean. Get smart and wake up people.

  • March 4, 2008 at 11:06 am

    Obama all the way…because i cannot trust the Clinton’s and neither should you…this is one of many reasons why:

    OBAMA.
    I lived through the Clinton year’s. I remember how Bill sat back with: Rwanda; pushed those awful welfare laws that were so full of racist blame-game tactics; let the affirmative action debate fall to the idiots with the scape-goating of blacks (white women have been the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action)… the list could go on. We are a supposed democracy. Family dynasties went out in China many eons ago. We should not fall into the same trap. Hillary is just a more screwed up versionof her husband, but with more dealier consequences. I do not buy into her “feminist” agenda. the Clinton’s need to just spare this country another round of shameless shaningans and just go away. Oh – and Hillary is known liar. It comes quite easy for her. Check her record.

    Obama. And it’s mostly for the reasons the other Obama supporters have stated. I don’t feel like repeating them.

    Thanks Princessoftheworld>
    I wish that video had made it on CNN!!!

    OBAMA OhhhhBama…..
    My reasons are an echo of the words stated by his wife. At 23 years old, it is the first time in my life that I have been enthused by politics.
    Mr. Obama is charismatic and classy.
    Not once has he resorted to defaming Senator Clinton or her Lying cheating ass husband. He has not pointed to the fact that the only reason she is has notoriety is for fucking Mr. President, nor has he resorted to calling all Blacks the way she has called all women to be her refuge. TALK ABOUT DOUBLE STANDARDS Can anyone imagine the back-lash if he did so?

    Oh one more thing. I actually sat down and did a side by side comparison of where both candidates stand on issues of health care, immigration, etc. I was much more impressed with Sen. Obama’s stance on all of the above. I also noted that the tone of Sen. Clinton’s website was stating what she had done rather than what she is going to do. She also has a message at the bottom of each page saying something to the effect of “Ready to Lead”, as if my readin this mantra over and over again will convince me of such while overlooking the fact that her statements and actions prove otherwise. I get the vibe that she feels her record should speak for itself and she doesn’t need to elaborate on her plans for America. If she would do that instead of bashing her opponent, I would be slightly convinced that she is ready to lead. Double kisses!!

    Obama ‘08!

  • March 4, 2008 at 4:14 pm

    I dont think neither would be right at this time and it does have to do with sex and race. So many threats are going to Obama that they will kill him if he wins because hes black. Also other countries that are enemys against us dont belive in Woman being equal to men so they will see us as Vulnerable if Hilary wins. With that said, I do go for Hilary. Although her plans arent tht great and she isnt that great of a person, u cant deny that she has been around this for a long time, she was first lady, she at least has a sense of how to deal with things, Obama is just too unexperienced not to say that he is a Liar. He proised Ohio jobs and Went to Canada and told them that he was just lying to make them vote for him(he was caught saying it on paper). He has also lied about some other things(look it up). Hilary might be a bitch, but shes the one to vote for because shes just more realistic with her plans.
