"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton

I am, however, opposed to personal attacks on other posters -- as your post so nicely illustrates. Your obsession with this topic seems odd. I suggest flying as an elixir to cheer your tortured soul... It works for me! Nothing tortured about my soul. Hell, I don't even believe in the notion of soul. I just like shining the light on self-promoting hypocrites. A class you so nicely represent. |

I saw tape of Hillary screeching this morning that they were now going to "take this enthusiasm" to New Hampshire. Enthusiasm? What enthusiasm? As Peggy Noonan says, Hillary had the money, she had the organization, she had Bill ... and she lost. She came in third. She didn't even carry the female vote .. that went to Obama. Perhaps the more people see of Hillary Clinton the more they're reminded of her lies, her meanness and her seemingly unquenchable desire for power. Look at Hillary and you see: * Whitewater, Casa Grande and her role in those scams * "Fire their asses!" The order given by Hillary to sack the White House Travel Office * Marines being used to hand out canapés at White House functions * Her obstruction of justice and perjury in the Rose Law Firm billing records scandal. * Craig Livingstone and the cache of FBI files * The "I want to take those profits" moment. * Leading the effort to destroy the women involved with her husband. Oh yeah .. there's more, and (again) as Peggy Noonan says in this column: "There's something about her that makes you look, watch, think, look again, weigh and say: No." |

I saw tape of Hillary screeching this morning that they were now going to "take this enthusiasm" to New Hampshire. Enthusiasm? What enthusiasm? Look, regardless of your political persuasion, there's little point in hyperbole. There's definitely enthusiasm for her and she will probably be elected because of it. I don't particularly care for her either, but nattering on about crap like this isn't going to get you anywhwere. OTOH, seeing as how just about every other candidate is equally or even more unattractive, ther's little point in sespousing the alternative, which is, of course, intelligent perceptive quetioning and debate, so , carry on, I guess.

"socialist" when describing Hillary Clinton
"Morgans" wrote in message ... "John Mazor" wrote The first few primaries are all about money - convincing contributors to put their money on you and not the other candidates. Only later is it about winning enough delegates for the nominating convention. Yes, but if a candidate does not do well in the early showings, he/she will not get enough money, and usually have to drop out, all together. That is what I object to, in the big picture. They are not around to get my state's vote (and my vote) to be a possible choice. I resent that. BIG time. I'll bet in the last 30 years, half of the early primaries have eliminated my top choice in the presidential primary. Some few states have been allowed to make choices for the country, that should be made by the WHOLE country. Simply, it sucks. Amen. Paul Tsongas was a Democrat who was saying what needed to be said, that we needed to conserve energy, we had to set funding priorities and stop promising everything to everybody, and that Americans would have to start making sacrifices. I think he did well in NH but as you would expect, voters didn't take well to someone who was brave enough to speak the truth and he dropped out. I would have walked 10 miles in a blizzard to cast my vote for him. The root problem is that money plays too big a role in elections. I don't know how you fix that without doing excessive violence to the First Amendment, but something is wrong in a system where the first thing a winning candidate has to do is start calling on donors for the next election cycle. And speaking of some states determining the outcome, don't even get me started on block voting in the electoral college system. |

The root problem is that money plays too big a role in elections.
Boy, isn't that the truth? The money that was just spent in Iowa was absolutely astounding -- and for what? What's amazing to me is how the money and support in this election cycle is not following the middle-of-the road candidates. For example, Joe Biden was, in my mind, the most electable Democrat -- yet he's out today like bad news. And the Republicans select Huckabee? A nice guy that admits to not believing in evolution? That's just downright scary. Yet, today he's the front-runner... Sure makes ya scratch your head. Meanwhile, the Democrats -- who, in the wake of GW, could probably nominate Jack the Ripper and win the White House this year -- have two virtually unelectable candidates as their front-runners. I simply can't believe the choices before us are the best America can produce. Sure is a screwy election cycle... The best we can only hope is that whoever wins supports GA and doesn't hurt the country too badly. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

That's just downright scary. Yet, today he's I find it comforting that he doesn't believe in evolution. And I hope he also doesn't believe in global warming, er, uh, excuse me, global climate change. It is hard to keep up with all these PC terms. I read an article recently by a Russian scientist who talks about the coming global cooling trend that will start in the not too distant future and run for many decades. Both of these theories are full of holes you could drive a truck through so I'm glad Huckabee doesn't subscribe to them. However, there are other reasons I can't support him unfortunately. I can't say that there is a single candidate I can get behind at present. Probably Mitt Romney is the closest given his fairly broad experience both in business and in politics. I believe the CEO of our country should have expert beyond law school. Matt |

Jay,
A nice guy that admits to not believing in evolution? Only in America... I'm afraid there's something seriously wrong with your country if a guy like that gets more than 20 seconds air time in something other than a crackpot show, let alone be considered for President. The country's success was and is largely built on science and technology, after all. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH) |
