The Thinking Democrat

In prior debates, Hillary Clinton has stated that the Dems should not be attacking each other, but instread save that energy for the Repubs.  Well what a difference a debate and recent polls make.  Hillary spent last week attacking Sen. Barack Obama.  First it was the revelation that the Clinton camp had information on Sen Obama that was as the least, a little seedy.  Then the polls came out that Sen Obama was leading in the new Iowa Poll with 30% of the caucus goer's choosing him over Hillary.  Then, to make matters worse, Sen Obama had the nerve to respond quickly to the aligation and also stand toe to toe with her and not let her get away with just saying anything.

If you look at last nights debate and say that Hillary had more energy than in the last debate, you would be right. That's because she took two days off the road to "prepare" for this debate. She had to do damage control. You remember the "yes, I'm for drivers licsense for illegal aliens......wait, no I'm not". Yes, she fell from grace. Someone decided to put her on this pedistal back in April when she decided to let the country know what she has known for two years; that she was running for president. Why is everyone so suprised that Hillary can fight dirty? She's done it her whole politial life (she says 35 years I say 6 years). Her plan was to let the guys "attack" her then cry foul. Well that did not work. After all, people said if she wants to play with the big boys, she has to take some heat. When she screwed up at the first November debate, she knew she had to do something. So, this is what she does best: She will say "Obama does not carry all American's in his health care plan, before he can say what his plan really does, she says "but the Bush administration has screwed things up. Anybody noticed this game she plays. I'll hit you, then take the focus off by talking about Bush and look like the candidate for peace. Give me a break. I don't think Hillary won the debate. It was more of the same. After all, if the only thing she had to come at Sen Obama with was the lie that his health care plan does not cover everyone, he's doin something right. GO OBAMA 2008

Can I play the race card? (I am African American)  How about the mother card or the wife card?  Or better yet, how about the man card?  What, you say that's not fair?  Why not, Hillary's playing her cards.  The woman card is being used like old fish grease on french fries.  I don't quite understand it however.  I thought that Hillary was a smart woman.  I thought that she had all her ducks in a row.  She's suppose to have everything needed to become the first woman president.  Then why does she have to use this school yard game with voters?  Probably because she knows that it will work on some none-thinking female voters out there.

Hillary do you agree with the governor of NY on giving DL to illegal aliens? "Well, no I don't, but I do." That's the way her response to that question at Tuesday's debate came off to me. And, afterwards, she did seem a little suprised at the backlash. Wow, she gave all the other candidates a chance to chime in. Yes, chime in on how they thought she left them confused on her answer. Think about it people. What question has Hillary given a straight answer too. No, I really want to know. I don't want to be biased here. I'm still trying to figure out what her answer is on social security, Iran, Iraq and now DL's for people who are here illegally in the state of NY. Personally, I'm from the state of Texas and that is one question that would never come here, because there would have to be a gunfight at the OK Coral before Texan's give anything to an illegal. Being from Texas gives me insight that many other people may not see if you live in say....Idaho. Not that you don't have illegals, but when here is Texas sometimes, it's like english is the second language. Hillary needs the votes from people like me who live in Texas or in Idaho. Not she would ever have gotten my vote, but, when we see the none-answer answer to question that important matters.
