The Thinking Democrat

So, whatever happend to the good old days when politicians could list the contrast between themselves and their opponents? Well, who needs contrast when you have the era of Change. That's right folks.....change. When Sen. Obama points out the differences between himself and Hillary Clinton, she resorts to the old school yard yarn; "Mom, he hit me for no reason" she wines. "All I did was kick him in the leg". That's what we have folks. And of course you know a boy shouldn't hit a girl. Hillary Clinton knows that also. That's why she screams whenever he makes contrast between his views and hers. Hillary believes that knowone should make contrast but her. This shows her selfishness and her eagerness to try to play dirty and call foul. This also shows how she is using her role as a woman, to use other women. If she cries loud enough and says these men are picking on me enough, some nonethinking women will come running to her rescue. Yes, nonethinking women. Women are being used and don't even know it. They are being asked to call on their womenly instincts and have their girlfriends back. They are being told that men are strong, but overly aggressive and if they as women don't be careful, these men will hurt us. Hillary hasn't been a women for over 20 years. Now she wants to pull the female card. I think that's unfair. When you decide that you want to play running back for the high school football team, don't turn around and say that you can't take the tackles. You chose it, now be a man about it. Sen. Obama is doing what he has to do. He is doing what is right to do. Part of his responsibility is to show the differences between himself and Hillary. Just as she would have the same right to do. However, it is disingenuous for you to call foul when someone points out those differences. Ths is my problem with Hillary. But it is all part of the game. "Lets say this....and the women will support me". The truth of the matter is that Hillary has not been completely forthcoming during the debates. I am not the only person who notice that she does completely answer the questions brought to her. She hedges. She talks alot. She's saying very little. She half ass explained her Iran vote. If you believe the lie that she told when questioned on that vote, I have a plot of land in Africa to sell you. The truth behind that vote is simply that she is a hawk. Yes, she would send our troops to fight in Iran. She would change very little from what the current person running this country is doing. But for now, she'll explain her vote by saying whatever will get her votes. She voted for the war in Irag. She never apologized for that vote. Good judgement should have told her that Bush was not trustworthly. It should have told her that the vote was a mistake. It should have told her what she already knew; that the white house was filled with incompetent leaders. But she voted to send over 3,000 young americans to die. Obama thinks otherwise. He was against the war. He is against the vote made by Hillary on Iran. He believes that you should be more forthcoming on what you're going to do with social security. So, why shouldn't he speak on the differences between the two you. Don't cry Hillary and yell attack when someone is simply asking you to be more forthcoming. Just stand up and be a man. Don't complain when he speaks of the differences. It makes you look like a little girl who wants everything her way.

I find it truly amazing that the media can't find anything good report on Barack Obama.  In New Hampshire, he was endorsed by the new Mayor and had a crowd of approximately 9,000 people.  What does this man have to do?  While in NY, it was estimated that he had a crowd of approximately 24,000, and that was in Hillary's backyard.

So Giuliani tries to use the old Lloyd Benson line from the debates with Dan Quayle. Can he come up with something new? Giuliani comes off as someone who knows he's leading in the republican polls, but also seems a little unsure. (Something that Hillary should try). He will say whatever he must to get elected. Unlike some, I do see how he twist his words when trying to explain his previous positions on important issues. He went before the NRA, knowing that they had BIIIIGGGG doubts about him, and took a call from his wife in the middle of his speech. Why, so the press would have something to talk about in regards to his day with the NRA instead of writing about his position; which is: FIRST - He no longer supports a lawsuit, that he filed against gun manufacturers, stating that there has been so much change that he may no longer support the it. SECOND - He was an advicate for a woman's right to choose. Now he states that he thinks that R v W should be overturned. THIRD - He stated as Mayor of NY that we would never be able to solve the immigration mess we have today. Now, however, he states that immigration can be solved. FOURTH - Giuliani also deliberately uses federalism as a cover to avoid revealing his personal opinions about topics of historical cultural controversies. I could go on and on. This man is a flake. He was a devisive mayor in NY and would also be a devisive president if elected. We would have to watch his disfuntional family on the news nightly and listen to him say his personal life is off limits. Wow, that was not true in the 90's when Bill Clinton was president. Why should he be held to a different standard? I'm sorry, but for me, the way you treat your family is a big deal. If you will screw them around, you'll screw anybody around. Lets be real. Giuliani is not the right person for the President of the United States.

Yes, I will come out and say it. The press, mainly CNN and MSNBC are hoping for a Hillary win in the democratic field. Now, I'v said what a log of bloggers are thinking and posting. I have been a political junkie for years. I have voted in the last 5 presidential campaigns. I watch CNN and MSNBC religiously. What have I noticed us ask? I've noticed that Hillary Rodham Clinton gets about 70% of the news coverage on the democratic side. The others, well they have to get coverage however they can. It seems to me that there should be an uproar over the unbalanced coverage of the democratic candidates. None of the cable networks are fair and balance at this point.

Well, it's about time Hillary Clinton showed her true colors. And she should have them in every color. Hillary has become so convinced that she will be the democratic nominee that she has become a little forgetful. Flip-flop 1. Obama said that he would meet with members of other countries to defuse tension if needed. As a matter of fact, he stated that diplomacy is the best answer to many of our problems with our advisories. I think that is a smart thing to do. The cowboy in the white house right now has beat his chest long enough. Yet, we find ourselves in a war with no military solution. Hillary Clinton now says that she would also meet with our advisories. If you press her on it, she uses nonsense to clarify her answers. Flip-flop 2. Whenever Obama looks the American people in the eye, and says what he would do regarding possible senarios given by the questioner, Hillary turns in her baratone voice and says, "well, I will not speak to hypotheticals". Now, she's talking about all possible hypotheticals under the sun. She just chooses which hypo's she will and will not answer. She has spoken on Iraq, Iran, she hasn't decided yet whether to speak on the social security hypo yet. Flip-flop 3. Hillary voted for the war in Iraq. She knew this would lead to war. She says that the vote was correct, however, she did not forsee Bush making a mess of everything. Saying, "if I knew then, what I know now, I would have never voted for the ware in Iraq" is no excuse. This is, as Barack Obama stated, is due to a lack of judgement. Or, maybe it's just due to the truth. Hillary Clinton does not apologize for her vote because she would have done the same thing had she been president. Flip-flop 4. Hillary is quick to change her position on the issues. Now that she's running for president, she will say whatever will get her elected. Obama spoke of nukes. She said no, no you don't do that, and slapped on the wrist. She later said, "I would take nukes off the table". She said she would not speak on hypotheticals and while making that statement, she did indeed speak on the government of Mushaf. She said that she would not promise to meet with government leaders and later with MSNBC's Keith Olberman, she stated that she would meet with them immediatly. The vote on Iraq was made for possibe war, yet she says not. Hillary.........make up your mind.
