Well, let's see. Who has Sean Hannity yapped about all week? Hillary. What has Wolf Blizter yapped about all week? That Obama is beating Hillary, and the he started yapping about how Hillary fooled him and everyone else in the media. Notice, if you will, Wolf has yapped about the fact that Obama was threatening to overrun the Clinton campaign in New Hampshire, not what people thought was so good about Obama, or what might be so good about Obama, but the fact that Obama was about to beat Hillary.

What's so great about Barak Obama? I'll tell you what is so great about Barak Obama. He isn't one of those guys who has been putting the shaft to us for decades. He's new meat. Just think! Dung free meat for the first time in decades? Who woulda thunk it?

But Madison Avenue doesn't like new meat. Madison Avenue wants the devil it knows, so the newspukes are obediently keeping Hillary in front of the cameras and are talking about nothing but Hillary. They are using any and every excuse they can find, and this includes the justifiably despised Fox News Network, to keep Hillary Clinton's ass in your face.

Holy newspeak, George! It's almost enough to make me vote for Dennis Kucinic! ANYBODY BUT BILL CLINTON AND AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL THIRD TERM!

Oh, but I'm not supposed to mention that, am I? Dontcha just love conspiratorial spin?

''One other thing, NONE of the Dems have done ANYTHING like it!'' You say that as if McCain became a prisoner intentionally and he holds some kind of record for doing it. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

Being held POW with favors is not an accomplishment. Why on earth would that qualify ANYBODY for a nomination for the presidency? Also I don't think the Dems are lining up to be held captive anywhere. Bush on the other hand has earned his stripes; his prison stripes that is.

You go ahead and vote for your McCain. Voting for an idiot becomes you.

'Being held POW with favors is not an accomplishment.'

Graduating from the Naval Academy was an accomplishment. Getting Aviators wings was an accomplishment. Living through the fire on Forrestal was an accomplishment. Serving with the Saints and the Ghost Riders, the 2 squadrons that had the highest combat losses in the Navy during Vietnam was an accomplishment. Getting through the Hanoi Hilton was an accomplishment. Returning, with honor, to command the largest squadron in the Navy was an accomplishment.

And you have the unmitigated ignorance to declare that none of that was an accomplishment. 22 years in the Navy... What have you ever accomplished other then sticking your foot in your mouth on the internet?

That doesn't even take in to account his 25 years in in the US congress in both the house and the senate. That is 47 years of service to the United States. And you are probably drooling over the flavor of the month jr. congressman who assumed office a grand total of 2 years ago. As you say: 'Why on earth would that qualify ANYBODY for a nomination for the presidency? '

I guess you had better just go back to whining that sp4 said something, anything... When you try to articulate a position you make yourself look like an even bigger fool.

Now this is really funny coming out of your mouth:

'...is try offering something meaningful.

People...they get a chance to speak out and look what they do with it...'

You have never backed anything you have said on this board with real 'facts'. Most of your dribble is 95% a lie (surprise). The worst thing you do is you give advise to others that you have no intention of following yourself.

'No need to defend myself against yet another idiot McCain supporter. '

As if you could. By the way, I am a not even an ardent McCain supporter. I just recognize that he is a good and honorable man with an impeccable record. If anyone out there has EARNED this office it is him. Certainly not the flavor of the month or my incompetent jr.senator whose most important vote in office was FOR the Iraq war.

him.

I guess he's just not qualified for president then. I mean if he doesn't have YOUR vote he's not good enough. Must be something wrong with him in your book.

In addition then I guess you don't know a former POW from the Hanoi Hilton who knew and observed McCain's behavior while he was actually there. My friend was there long before McCain arrived and they left on the same day. He was a die hard Republican and wouldn't vote McCain for dog-catcher. You don't know squat SP4. Talk to somebody who was there.

It is so much better to focus on more important facts than the personal records of the candidates.What is needed is understanding how this embaraasing Iraqi invasion came about,why,who profits from it and how to get out .Something you will search for in vain on FOX network .There you will find all the usual humbug from the neocons.I suggest you guys watch the interview with Larry Wilkerson,the former chief of staff to Colin Powell ,his points of view stem from his participation in the events .For me the kind of american that truely represent the values we like you to stand for.

You guys are doing my job for me. I'll just read some more stuff and get back to you.

Tonny, you need to turn around and look down at the grave stone:

Larry Wilkerson never worked in the White House. You'd be far better off asking Richard Armitige about why his boss had him out Valerie Plame.

Research that one and, by all means, be sure to get back with us. You can start on that right after you research the CURRENT dem candidate on:

FBI reocrds scandal

Chinese and Russian campaign funds scandal

White Water

Vince Fosters death

Greasy commodity trades with the Tyson people

This is what the NEXT candidate has on HER resume'. Go see what the Internet has to say on this.

Wow SP$ another round of the same old lies. One thing you get when one 'googles' all of those items is a real good picture of a Witch Hunt by the right wing neo-cons like you. The thing you do not get is any 'facts' (something your kind never worry about) that Ms. Clinton (or her husband) was 'convicted' of any of the claims you continually spout. Because you claim to be a good American, 'innocent until convicted guilty' should mean something to you. The fact that it does not, does not surprise me.

SP4: I Agree, I'm Voting For Hirrary!Jan 10th, 2008 - 16:54:25

She has all the qualities of the current leader:

Her 'daddy' was President! ( that's funny, I don't care WHO you are!)

Minimal experience, even less than the current guy!

Voted to Invade Iraq (peas in a pod!)

Committed Free Trader, at least until she went into office.

Spent most of their careers preening for the top job.

Yes, pppperfect, you've convinced me!

Of Course she also has:

An FBI records scandal, (check the congressional record)

White Water(no NEED to check THAT one!)

Chinese and Russian campaign funds scandal (Read 'see no evil, Robert Baer) and subsequent greenlighting of NAFTA, GATT, WTO, and MFN for China. Heck!...they padi for it!

'

I didn't say I wouldn't vote for him. We are going to be given a choice of candidates after the primaries. If he is running against some child or someone else's wife I will vote McCain with no hesitation.

' My friend was there long before McCain arrived and they left on the same day.'

You might have had me convinced before you called this fellow 'your friend'.

SP4: I'm voting for Hirrary!Jan 10th, 2008 - 22:10:02

...time to come back from La la land. Bush is gone in a year. I think it's a little late to be tossing the old chestnut that Bush was not in command, but, by all means trot that out and there must be...2 people interested! In other news:

The world is flat

The sky is green

Hitler was misunderstood


Sir Larry never worked in the White House Tonny, end of story. Powell would still have a job if he'd let the President make policy instead of thinking he was supposed to do it.

This is why he Got Rich Armitige to out Val Plame, to smear Bush. Powell had to know, because Armitige worked for him and would never do it without Powell knowing.

Who's next Tonny, some disgruntled out-of-work guy from Housing and Urban Development?

Besides, who do you think is REALLY going to be in charge in a Clinton White House?

I'm voting for Hirrary. She's just like Bush;

Her Daddy was President!

She has limited experience

Is risk averse

Voted to invade Iraq!

You go girl! Shed them tears...all the way to the white house!

SP4.....you are such an idiot. I love how your ranting has diminished any possible influence you could possibly hope for. Your ranting is just like all of the neo-con ranting going on all for nothing. I am not even a Hillary fan, but if she wins it will make me laugh as it will be the worst possible day for the neo-con right wing nut-jobs out there---all your brothers and sisters.

And again you came back with no facts to any of your rants and that does 'make you wrong' What an old pathetic looser.

It ids a pleasure to watch you sqirm SP4,in the end you are left with your deluded mind ,funny that you seem to know Larry Wilkerson,the same person you claim not to have worked for theUS government,meanwhile I can pay tribute to his honest behaviour,at least he drew the conclusions from the fraud ,he could have stayed next to the money well,but he choose to remain a man of integrity .Typical you to slander him,thanks Larry Wilkerton for exposing the frauds that neocons are.From a well informed and undisputed source ,a republican,you get the facts,of course the label 'libnazi' doesn't fit him,so you slander him,nothing else,as you are unable to contribute any facts.

PPPPPPPPPPPerfect, none of you rantings makes me wrong.

Tonny, I don't know where you went to school but school is now in:

* The President can listen and acton ANYONE's advice, ANYTIME he wants! If he likes Dick Cheney's advice and not Colins, so be it.

* Larry Wilkerson NEVER worked in the White House...ever. He was Powell's butt boy, and as such NOT white house staff.

Time to concentrate on who is COMING up: The white house aides you might wish to study:

Mr. Hsu

Sandy Berglar

Go see who they are and, by all means, do a google on them!

The chief of staff a butt boy ?Not a nice thing to say about your highest ranking military personnel.But then everybody that disagrees with the neocon cabal must be either that or a traitor .Your kind of democracy it might be,not mine .By all means reply to all critics with the magic words Hsu,Randy Berger,etc,.Next time I 'll post something I 'll add the magic words for you,saves toy a few lines .Have you any other knowledge of the world,or is that the complete picture of your universe ,SP4 ?I 'm glad your friends are now marching into the direction of the garbage dump .Time for real democracy ,and end to the slander,dirty tricks,mudslinging .Real issues of importance should include health care ,justice,education.All pertinent to the potential voters and much more in need of improvement .It is difficult to imagine that one of the richest countries in the world has it's wealth squandered on useless stockpiles of weapons and at the same time denies it's children a decent health care system .All the statistics point to the same direction,ten thousands of americans die every year for lack of a decent health care system.What a pity .
Oh yeah,almost forgot ....Hsu....Berger....happy now ???
