OK, Hillary's campaign is starting to make me sick. (fake-ass Reagan damage control)
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 10:41 PM by LoZoccolo
The fake damage control about how Hillary put Reagan on the list of favorite presidents but then claims she didn't is pretty insulting. It reminds me of Rovian tactics where George W. Bush* says something we all know is not true. I really honestly hope she's not testing out to see if the Rove tactics work on us as well as they do the Republicans.

12. So that thousands of young minorities keep dying and millions of women
Edited on Fri Jan-18-08 11:02 PM by billbuckhead
So that thousands of young minorities keep dying and millions of women keep being abused. More closet Reaganism.

8. All cactus, no milk.
Senator Clinton may be our next president, whether she is your first choice, or mine, or not.

That would suggest that other Democrats coast to coast disagree with us and with others.

The process is established and until it is reformed or replaced with another process, it could well be that the process nominates her.

Your remarks at no point praise your candidate and lamely accuse Sen. Clinton of something one minute that no one will much care about next week, let alone in November.

Not a few of us plan to support the Democratic ticket come election time.

You in or not?

I can't wait for the primaries to be over with. GO Kucinich.

19. I don't like either of them. GO EDWARDS

There is still a completely viable choice in this race. You don't need to back one of these two.

I guess the only thing I will be doing, if they get the nom is holding my nose and voting.

26. Another ditto from me.
Edwards stands the best chance of defeating any of the Repiggies running. That is a major issue with me ~~ electibility ~~ and Edwards has it hands down over Hillary for sure and pretty much for sure over Obama.

Besides, Edwards is right on with other issues that are or major importance such as health care for EVERYONE and no longer allowing the corporations to determine what is best for all of us.

Go Edwards!

20. The Hillbots are as obnoxious as Freepers
Edited on Sat Jan-19-08 10:23 AM by nichomachus
I had an open mind about all the candidates, but I'm finding myself being increasingly turned off by the confrontational, shrill Hillbots that have infested all the progressive blogs. They are just as bad as freepers with their "in-your-face" "fuck you" spin posts.

I don't know whether these are free-lancers or officially part of the Clinton campaign, but they are not doing her any favors.

like most of you obama supporters seem to think. Obama is so damn naive if he thinks President Clinton accomplished those amazing turnarounds for the economy and for minorities by singing “Kumbayah” with Republicans, and you’ve just shown how naive you are.Plus, you’ve exposed how uninformed you are about the brutal history of U.S. politics where every progressive step is spattered with the blood, sweat and tears of all who fought so hard for those gains.

Really, Mr. Obama? The Republicans have been the party of ideas for the past ten to fifteen years?Really, Mr. Obama?

Since the economy is the hot topic these days, let’s just look at what President Clinton did for minorities in terms of economic gains — even though Obama dismisses those achievements. Unemployment Rate for African Americans and Hispanics Remains Historically

Low. Under President Clinton and Vice President Gore, the Hispanic unemployment rate has dropped from 11.3 percent in January 1993 to a record low of 5.8 percent in March 1999. The unemployment rate for African Americans has fallen from 14.1 percent in January 1993 to 8.1 percent in March 1999–one of the lowest levels on record for African Americans.

Here are additional economic accomplishments of the Clinton/Gore administration — as of 1999 (during the administration’s second term) — that also had a direct positive effect for minorities:

18.2 Million New Jobs. …
Unemployment at 4.2 Percent in March …
Highest Share of New Jobs in Private Sector in 50 Years. Since the President and Vice President took office, the private sector has added 16.7 million new jobs–with 2.4 million jobs added in the past year. Since 1993, 92 percent of the 18.2 million new jobs have been in the private sector–the highest percentage in 50 years.
Fastest and Longest Real Wage Growth in Two Decades. Last month, average hourly earnings increased 0.2 percent. Under the Clinton-Gore Administration, real wages have risen 6.1 percent–compared to declining 4.3 percent during the Reagan and Bush Administrations. After adjusting for inflation, wages have increased almost 2.7 percent in 1998–the fastest real wage growth in more than two decades and the third year in a row–the longest sustained growth since the early 1970s.
Construction Jobs Are Coming Back. …
Manufacturing Jobs Have Increased. After losing 2.1 million manufacturing jobs between 1981 and 1992, the economy has created 350,000 new manufacturing jobs since 1993. After losing 46,000 jobs in the auto industry during the Bush Administration, the United States has 147,000 new auto industry jobs under the Clinton-Gore Administration.
Inflation Rate Is the Lowest Since the 1950s. …
President Clinton signed the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, “which passed Congress without a single Republican vote.”

It raised taxes on the wealthiest 1.2% of taxpayers,<35> while cutting taxes for 15 million low-income families and making tax cuts available to 90% of small businesses.<36> Additionally, it mandated that the budget be balanced over a number of years, through the implementation of spending restraints.

23. Thanks. More faux outrage to go with my coffee this morning
you are not getting sick over Obama distorting stamen ts and shouting "racism!" to get votes. You are not sick of the attacks from Obama on the radio--suggesting that Clinton is racist. You are sick of clinton defending herself.

Faux outrage.
