Don't panic....Yet 'Obama has waged the waged the dirtiest campaign in American history. "That one" Ask Obama & McCain these questions tonight Ther're Back: Ayers,Wright, and Rezko The House needs to step up to the plate. Where are the leaders? Time out? It's about time Here we go again October 07 November 07 December 07 January 08 February 08 March 08 April 08 May 08 June 08 July 08 August 08 September 08 October 08 John Edwards & Barack Obama went straight for the jugular in going after Hillary. They attacked the vote on calling the Iranian Revolutionary Council a terrorist organization. Saying it will give this president the excuse he needs to go to war with Iran. Hillary’s inconsistent answers were exposed on social security and at the end of the debate she agreed with New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer's controversial plan to give driver's licenses to illegal immigrants but then a minute later started backtracking. Now Bill Clinton was a master at being evasive but her facial expressions and demeanor showed she is no Bill Clinton. Will this debate change the numbers? I don’t know. I think what was really exposed last night was status quo positions of the front runner. How can my party complain about the secrecy in the Bush Administration if Hillary does not turn over all her documents? I understand it gives the other candidates an unfair advantage, because she will be the only candidate required to do this. But if this lack of transparency is going to stop, someone has to take the lead. The other is lobbyist money; Hillary has out raised all the candidates of both parties in lobbyist money from Wall Street, defense department, and insurance and drug companies. Some might see it as success but really it business as usual. Somehow we must have a leader to take us to public financing because these lobbyist have too much influence. I am getting suspicious as to why the Bush Administration is getting their way on the latest NSA spying bill. Did the telecommunication lobbyist have something to do with it? I don’t know. This may sound like a slam on Hillary but it really isn’t, it just exposes some of her weakness in a primary. Great leaders learn form mistakes and they don’t usually repeat them. Constructive criticism will only make a person stronger.

The week end New Hampshire debate
What a weekend Tivo to the rescue. All my passions, Houston Rockets ,NFL playoffs, three presidential debates and a Bill O’Reilly meltdown.(More on this later)as a bonus……on at the same time. The Democrats. The ABC debate seemed like a cordial event, except when Hillary thought she needed to forcibly explain her vision of change. It was like; she was quoting Elizabeth Browning, “Measure not the work until the day is out, and the labor done.” A good example is when the ABC moderator asked John Edwards to talk about a great senate accomplishment of his; Mr. Edwards said he worked with John McCain and Ted Kennedy on the Patient’s Bill of Rights. Like a corner back jumping the route, Hillary quickly pointed out that the Patient’s Bill of Rights never passed George W. Bush’s veto. It did seem like it John Edwards and Barack Obama teamed up against Hillary Clinton in an effort to point out that she did not stand for change. Poor Bill Richardson, he seemed to be the referee, but for the most part was ignored. I was surprised, because only Hillary brought up the prospect of a recession. This will be a selling point for the Democrats in future debates. Basically, all four candidates agreed on the major issues, unfortunately, The Republicans
It was Rudy Giuliani, Fred Thompson, Mike Huckabee and John McCain against Romney in the ABC debate. If this was a company locker room, John McCain was looked up to as their leader, Fred Thompson was just there, Rudy Giuliani was admired for his 9/11 work in New York City, but nothing else, Mike Huckabee was a popular one, Ron Paul was the nerd, and everyone just hated Mitt Romney. The highlight of the ABC debate was the Romney v McCain face-off on the definition of amnesty, this led to the funniest line of the night by Rudy Giuliani “Ronald Reagan actually gave amnesty, I could see of Mitt Romney’s attack ads aimed at the hero of the Republican Party.”(sic). Ron Paul used his time to say the others were just giving lip service to the Constitution., money would have been available for health care and education; if we would not have thrown the money away in The Fox debate minus Ron Paul was a sleeper, it was more of candidates playing nice to each other,and backing off the negative things, they said about each other on the morning shows. It was more of a laundry list resume with the same old stale jokes. Interestingly enough, the focus groups said that Mitt Romney won, and they were put off by Mike Huckabee, wearing his religion on his sleeve. Saturday night Bill O’Reilly and camera crew appeared at a Barack Obama rally at 1 comments from 1 users

I cannot imagine any other talk show host, doing that. Well, maybe Jerry Springer, or Joraldo Rivera. O'liely is just so rude, but he learned that over on that other tabloid show he used to do. What was that called? Something Edition? I don't know, he is such a........................
