I can't decide if they all sound ridiculous or Hilaryous. I'm not sure who said them all, or if they're all from one individual, just that D is the obvious answer to them all even though they sound like things any of the named individuals could have said. They're all bad, regardless of who said them.

OH and one last thing, We spent years fighting communism and now it is going to be a real candidate for president. Any student who has taken the time to study Stalin or Lenin can trace every comment back to one of them.

Picture this: Nancy Pelosi standing next to Hillary at the swearing-in ceremony. What kind of position would our country be in if Pelosi were only 2 heartbeats away from the Presidency (like she is now) with only Obama between her and Hillary?

I have never been a Hilary fan and I won't likely vote for her. I
find it very interesting though how so many people are so full of hatred for her and as such spread so much crap about her. It makes me far more curious about her and it probably does a lot of others also.
The far right wing fringy crap some of you babble on this forum is exactly, on a national level, what is going to drive the yet undecided right into her arms. I find this irresponsible behavior.
If she wins, I hold those of you who spew this crap partially responsible...

Well what scares me is her. I can take the left wing babble all day long, sometimes agreeing with the more well thought out non-emotional stuff but what I find scary is what is not really devotion but blind obedience in her follows.

For example, we right wingers allow people like Libby to be hung out to dry, but she has advising her someone who committed open espionage by destroying classified information and then lying about it. Because he is part of the Hillary team we are supposed to keep quiet? No where in the main stream press has there been any questioning about using Berger or the fact that he should be put away for life been really brought up.

I took almost an entire day just reading her press releases and her speeches and it amazes me how far off the mark she and her die hard supports really are, in some cases the comments made about her speech and the rhetoric just against fellow dems reminded me of what I read about Lenin's Russia after the revolution and how the people on Lenin's side would be blindly on his side to destroy his enemies.

Yeah,yeah,blah,blah... For every Sandy Berger there is a Di-ck Cheney.
Your selective memory amuses me.C'mon, comparing Hilary to Lenin???
That is like comparing Robin Hood to John Gotti...

Easy to say it's crap when you don't read the substance. If you read it again, you'll find HILLARY said those things. We didn't put them in her mouth. Hillary is despised because of the person she is. Even most democrats aren't thrilled with her leading the polls like this. What's interesting is that she's trully speaking her mind... government programs that add up to more than $700 BILLION in new spending. She's said herself that she has a ton of ideas, but America couldn't afford them. You tell me now that our talk about her is just right-wing crap? I hope you don't go "Blah blah yadda yadda" when Hillary spews her vision of the future. Ya might miss what a true socialist thinks.

-True independence can only be gained if you're trully independant.

T-Hawk,
Apparently you didn't get the message that I am not a Hillary fan. I DO NOT want her to be the president. I agree with your take on much of the substance you speak of. If you would have paid attention to what I said, my point was that constantly slamming her could very easily have the opposite effect you are trying to get...I will say this though..During the previous Clinton administration, fiscal responsibilty was a primary focus. It was followed up by wreckless and won ton spending by your boy GW. The whole world hates us.30 + percent of the taxes we pay today go to interest on the money we already owe. If I go by the lessons of history the past 20 years,
Republicans = rapidly expanding national debt. Democrats = responsibly mangaged, shrinking national debt. Am I wrong?? Prove it.

"I DO NOT want her to be the president."

So does that mean that you will be voting republican?

Fiscal Responsibility out of the Clinton administration?

I don't know if you know this but the president can't just say "ok boys, here is the budget for next year - live with it." Sorry but Clinton was not the real reason why there was a surplus, it was the congress that did the work to keep him in check. No one else.

The problem is when we had a republican congress with a democrat president, things worked. When Bush got elected we should have shifted the congress over to a dem majority to balance out things but then again we had republicans who forgot the core beliefs and started acting like dems with their spending. THE VERY sad thing is that the dems in office right now are not doing anything to curb spending and know that the people don't care as long as they bring home the bacon for the people.

As for Clinton being fiscally responsible, didn't he propose a million cops on the street and the funding sort of disappeared after the first year. If I am wrong, tell me.

"will you be voting republican then??"
You seem to get the idea that I am a democrat. If you read all my posts you will see that this is not the case.I am very much in the middle on most subjects.
Show me a formidable republican candidate and I will likely vote republican. I have voted republican 3 out of the last 4 times. The last time was for Bush in 2000. What a fool I was.
And by the way I wasn't praising Clinton... I said that during the Clinton administration the debt shrank and spending was responsible.
This would include the republican congress, as you have mentioned..

Letzrock,
you're right, assumptions are dangerous.

The problem that you may understand is that the press gave clinton as the only reason we had a falling budget and a projected surplus and a lot of people just are clueless and fall into that trap.
