Oh, now people are supporting Hillary because Obama is the one with a history of corruption? Well, here's a preview of what we have to look forward to should Clinton win the nomination.
You people are absolutely delusional. (And by you people I essentially mean the same ten people I see on countless message boards posting the exact same baseless smears about Obama over and over again.)
What record and what experience? And being somebody's wife doesn't count. Would you want your surgeon's wife operating on you? She has not even 8 years of legislative experience and no executive experience. If she really did play a role in Bubba's presidency let's see the records...oh yeah, they won't release them. I'll be the first to admit my guy doesn't have a great amount of experience, but if you're going to base your vote solely on that measure, she better have a couple of decades under her belt. As to her record...well, what is it? What great feats has she accomplished? Every Clinton supporter sounds like a parrot. Obama's supporters will go into varied details explaining why he is their choice. With Clinton it's "35 years of experience" or "Gosh, weren't the 90s great!" You know what kind of experience both the Clintons DO have? Being mired in scandal and dirty politics. One more thing;when you're supporting someone who has exercised poor judgement, you probably shouldn't quote Magic Johnson to substantiate your position. Please Nevada, no more Clintons!
I keep hearing the same mantra of Clinton being "vetted", and how the GOP would eviscerate Obama. Just in case you forgot, here's a link that'll let you know what the country's in for should Hillary win the nomination. I'm not saying it's all true, I'm just putting it out there as a reminder.
I love that at least half of Barack Obama's detractors on the internet throw the Hussein in there. Why not just begin your post by stating "Hi! I'm an uneducated moron and you probably shouldn't pay attention to anything I say!" I guess the Hussein thing does have the advantage of brevity.
Of course the Clintons know how to stand up to the "Republican attack machine";they wrote the playbook. And enough with this "fully vetted" nonsense. You act like her and Bill were cleared of all wrongdoing. Her husband was impeached and Whitewater remains a talking point of the right to this day. Do you understand the magnitude of those scandals and how much money they cost taxpayers? The Republicans have been planning and hoping to face Hillary Clinton for the last couple of years, just waiting to peel back the scabs of the late 90s. They know she can unite their party like no other The only people who consistently support her in large numbers are older white registered Democrats, the majority of whom are women. For those of you lacking a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics and demographics, that's not enough to win in November. I haven't met one single person, from work, family, or friends, who plans to vote for her. I have, however, met Republicans dying to vote against her, Independents hoping McCain's available should she win the nomination, and several Democrats who aren't sure if they'll just abstain from voting or actually vote GOP. She can't win folks. And once again, how much would she get done if she did? All else being said, can someone please explain to me why our coutry has become an oligarchy monopolized by two weird families?
The last time the nation responded to years of scandal and divisiveness by putting an absolute moron in office...after 8 years of Clinton. Last time Congress gave this same moron free liscense to invade a coutry unnecessarily...when Clinton voted for it. This war ended up costing trillions of dollars, costing thousands of lives, ballooning our national debt, weakening our dollar, driving up interest rates, etc. And YOUR candidate voted for it! So you prefer the candidate who promises to clean up the mess she helped make to the one who had good enough judement to realize it was a mistake from the onset. And I'm pretty sure the middle class hasn't been struggling during the entire Bush presidency. Ever notice that we hear all about the "plight" of the middle class every 4 years or so? I'm all for universal health coverage but many problems of the middle class are grossly overstated during these elections. I'm much more interested in restoring America's standing in the world and giving America a leader that can inspire us to better ourselves and our nation. What we need is good judgement and uniting leadership. What we need is Barack Obama.
To suggest that Hillary Clinton is the great uniter we're looking for is disingenuous at best. That she is, without question, the single most polarizing figure in this campaign should be enough to repudiate that claim. I would urge all of Clinton's supporters to take off their myopic lenses and realize how truly despised their candidate is. I'm a lifelong Democrat, and my distaste for her is visceral. She is quite simply too unpopular to win a general election. Should she win, however, how much do you think will get done in Washington over the next few years? Every Republican in Congress will base their re-election campaigns on their opposition to anything Clinton proposes. She is that despised by their consituencies. Not only will she lose the election, she'll lose congressional seats as well. Conservatives will get off their deathbed to vote against this woman. Come on Nevada, aren't we smarter than this? Clinton's nomination would be a mistake;her election would be a disaster.

Well tim-japan, the Clintons are definitely ambitious. Can't argue with you on that one. As to being loved...they're even more reviled, even within their own party! Sounds like a plan for unity to me. This endorsement sounds like it may have actually been written by the Clinton campaign. All the taking points are there. "Ready on day one!" "She'll turn the economy around!" "She has so much experience working for children!" "She'll give us all cookies and milk and read us a bedtime story!" What's hilarious to me are these morons who think one person can drastically improve an economy as gargantuan and complex as ours. Like everything was all rosy when Billy boy was in office because he was so darned good. One person can, however, drastically damage an economy by doing something foolish like, oh let's say spending 2 trillion dollars for an unnecessary war. I honestly can't believe anyone opposed to the war is now supporting Hillary Clinton. Let me say this loud and clear. SHE VOTED FOR IT
Our troops, reputation, safety, and economy have all paid the price. But now you're going to nominate her to fix it? If you get shoddy work done on your car or home do you hire the same guy again? No, unless you're an absolute fool, you stay the hell away from them!
