Secretary of State: Hillary Clinton Bailout,loan, or Bankruptcy? Baracknophobia Where is the money coming from? The country rebooted The right reacts I hope the Democrats will be humble and gracious Just 8 more days of these posts of desperation. What is happening to the GOP? Ashamed of my home town 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 November 08 December 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.

Half-Truth,spin,gossip, or just outright lies
I have come a long way from trusting everything in the print media, to double sourcing just about everything I read. Jayson Blair and Judith Miller of the New York Times made me a big-time skeptic. With this new 24/7 news cycle, some mainstream newspapers have resorted to gossip, instead of investigative journalism. Two good examples: Why was yesterday’s argument between Romney and a reporter about whether Mitt had a lobbyist on staff, newsworthy? Same with Bill Clinton’s argument with a television reporter about whether casino workers could vote at their workplace. The chain letter about Barack Obama’s Muslim past, and using the Koran to take his oath of office was taken for truth and circulated in this on-line forum. Earlier, some try to say that Obama refused to put his hand over his heart during Pledge of Allegiance. A picture revealed that one time, he did forget to place his hand over his heart to the Pledge of Allegiance, but several other pictures show him his hand over his heart, and actually reciting the pledge. Republican or Democrat, these candidates are not anti-American.I thought my fellow Victorians knew that. Recently, Bill O’Reilly has been attacking John Edwards, over his 200,000 homeless veteran stump speech statement. O’Reilly even said that Fox would pay to shelter and feed these homeless veterans, if one could prove Edwards right. Someone might have put a bug in a bug in O’Reilly ear because last night he changed his whole attack message. O’Reilly is now saying that John Edwards tied the 200,000 homeless veterans to the economy. John Edwards, “ Two Americas speech” is about Perhaps, Chris Matthews finally got it. Yesterday, his show led off with his apology to Hillary Clinton over his remarks about how she became senator from The headline in today’s 3 comments from 3 users

Wow Mike once again I am finding myself agreeing with you! I guess, regardless of political affiliation, there are issues that are non-partisan, shall we say.
