I would think that most people already knew that she was not honest.

She forgets what she said to easily.

There are those who are sure each of the candidates is getting more or less attention from the press. Then another part of the disagreement is whether the press they do receive is positive or negative.

With 24 hour news, blogs at a click, access to every newspaper and each story written I’m amazed at the small amount of negative for any of them.

They’re out and about every day among thousands of people who are armed with cameras and recording devices and yet they all do pretty good.

There are few opportunities to hear the full text, nothing taken out of context, not the sound bite someone decided should be what we hear or the interpretation of what was said.

Remember when news was two things? 1) reporting 2) investigative How often do we get either today?

Oh - hi, ya’ll.

ghotiphaze:

True enough, but it’s not the last 8 years. It’s the nature of the beast. From the beginning of time, to today, human nature never changes. And never will.

Plus you have to admit, the present admin is looking a whole lot like the Nixon admin, only a whole lot more so. Scandal and incompetence from top to bottom.

and honed her skills by careful observations of George and Dick?

Nixon was a saint compared to this Bush bunch.

Well of course she is dishonest. She is a Democrat politician.

What? You say that Republican politicians are more dishonest? Are not. Are too. Are not.

Well, there was Clinton. Well, there was Nixon. Blah, blah friggin’ blah blah….

A politician dishonest? Naw, say it isn’t so.

…Of course Nixon was a practicing alcoholic not a dry drunk like Bush.

I have more sympathy for someone under the influence than for someone who quit drinking but stays in denial of their problem..

Yep, the Hillster has been known to extrapolate some yarns in her time.

That, and an exceedingly bad memory when it comes to answering questions regarding her involvement in cases where her co-workers and friends are taking the fall for her.

“it doesn’t seem to me that she has received the same amount of media scrutiny/reporting that Obama has along those lines.”

Geez have you been living the last 15 years in a mine shaft?

The right started in on stopping her election 7 years before she entered the race!

It’s Obama gets the pass. And what I DO see of him and his wife, I like less and less.

Sounds like Springsteen knows A Good Man is Hard to Find and thinks Obama was Born to Run. But clearly the Boss is past his Glory Days and is Looking for a Reason to Believe. He is an idealist and thinks he can find Paradise in the Badlands, but really he is just Dancing in the Dark, with a Jersey Girl.

You see Bruce, like anyone else Born in the USA can freely state his opinion. But he has to know that h McCain will Walk Like a Man there will be No Surrender because he is Tougher than the Rest. But he may need some Spare Parts eventually.

Springsteen is going with A Roll of the Dice by supporting Obama. That may work out in Lucky Town, but will work out in the Real World?

Hillary has always come across as phoney to me…I can’t stand to even watch her talk with that “deer in the headlights” look on her face.
Just the fact that she didn’t throw Bill’s clothes out on the white house lawn forced me to give up any respect for her long ago.

Thanks, Capn, for your views, I am taking a different turn. Unless we Democrats, those of us in this country who are intersted in turning things around (and we can do so), vote for BOTH Hillary and Obama, I am staying home and will not vote.

I am sending this messages to both campaigns. I have sent both campaigns money.

It is time to unite this party, we can do it. Night all…

Mike,

You don’t have any faith in McCain and to say otherwise, is completely dishonest, and you know it…

Of course she is dishonest. Her and her husband have lying and scandle down to an art form.

Steven: I have no faith in any politician.

“You are right to call for healing Steven. You’ve no idea how much I hold back here while Obama supporters attack Senator Clinton.
If they are prepared to toss me and other friends under the bus, why should I care if they end up losing too?”

I can relate to what JR said, being a Ron Paul supporter and still thinking he was the best of either party. I have yet to see Any “reaching out” to those of us whom supported him.
I will admit that perhaps we are not in the same league as the rest of the current crowd of Republicans (“we are the “A“ team” comes to mind, but then why start that fight).

Anyway, to point to how messed up our thinking has become, when a Politician said something that is true. It is called a “gaffe “ and thought of as a mistake. So what is a Politician to do? WE expect them to lie to us, we want them to lie to us, honesty is a character fault to us. Would Hillary make any better or worst President than Mc Cain?
In my opinion not really, I see them as the voters are back to the time honored “lesser of two evils”.

AS for me I got tired of having only two evils to choose from about twenty years ago. I like Obama for some of the reasons I liked Paul. He seems a straight shooter, a thinking person and intelligent in his evaluation of the situation. Where they differ is that Paul see the problem and want to use tried and true solutions. Though it would mean tearing thing up and putting them back together right.

Obama sees the problems too but want to find a balance that would not tear up the whole thing but will allow for a gradual turn to the correct course. I do not fault Hillary for what I would see as a gaffe, after all
that is what the voters want her to do. Lie, fight and be partisan… It makes the voters feel better about themselves.

“When the Hillaryites came out with the Rev. Wright video,”

That is a flat out lie Capn and you know it.

The pastor Wright story was outed by right wing diggers and brought to the greater media by con ranter Sean Hannity.

You can also credit Hannity and NOT Senator Clinton with last nights outing of Obama’s “new” known radical affiliation to William Ayers of the Weather Underground.

Last week, George Stehenopolous was taking NOTES in an interview with Hannity. Hannity ASKED George to put that question to Obama.

I’ve only been warning you Obamaniacs about it for a month.

“I don’t see Obama throwing anyone under the bus.”

Well, nobody that you apparently care about anyway.

I grow increasingly impatient with the arrogant bleating of Obama supporters.

Here’s what Obama said:

“So this kind of game,” Obama said last night, “in which anybody who I know, regardless of how flimsy the relationship is, that somehow their ideas could be attributed to me. I think the American people are smarter than that.”

It is a game, isn’t it? If we give attention to the insignificant while ignoring what really needs attention, aren’t we complicit in the game? I think we are. I’m really sick of politics as usual, of the accusations of character faults, of all things negative about campaigning. The game of politics hasn’t gotten us anywhere we want to be.

“McCain will bring us four more years of making sure the haves and have mores are given extra privileges economically. He will bring us four more years of leaving every child behind in our schools, four more years of most Americans not being able to afford health care, gasoline to get to work, maybe even food. A vote for McCain brings you the same as you’ve had AT BEST (it may get worse) and delays any solutions for at least FOUR MORE YEARS.”

I am not voting for McCain, but is this a little over top I am thinking. Since gas consumption has only gone down a tiny percentage, then apparently most people are still affording gasoline. Since what is the numbe?, 40 million people? living in America, including illegal aliens do not have health care, then MOST Americans can still afford health care, Since MORE Students are actually progressing in most cases, EVERY child is not being left behind. I still don;t know anyone who COULD afford food who now cannot. Be for or against someone, but let’s be realistic. There are certainly problems, many of which are caused by Bush and company, with the complicit COngress who never saw someone elses dollar they didn’t want to spend, with the continuing fiasco in Iraq, with …on and on an on. However, until we are realistic with our statements, on both sides, neither side will work with each other to get anything done or find solutions. A pox on both their houses.

Hey Linda,

I am so glad you agreed. :-). Just giving you a hard time so please don;t take offense. WHile you and I often disagree as to solutions, or even exactly the problem, we do agree that there are problems. My opinion is that there are some that can be solved by the government, some that are better solved by the government staying out of it. And by government, here I am talking about the federal goverment. If we dialogue truthfully, and without the animosity that often displayed, then we can begin to work on solutions. THe
“you are an assswipe”, yeah, but “You are a buttface” dialogue simply does nothing. Declaring fellow Americans who disagree with you as “the enemy” does nothing. We simply must work together. It first starts with us. Then we tell the freaking politicians to get it together or get the hell out of office. Then we work on solutions. Maybe we can;t get all we want, but to settle for nothing less is to settle for nothing, imho. Anyway, have a great day

People say that Hillary is “Dishonest”. These people have problems with Hillary and are using “Dishonesty” to have something negative to say.

People need to discuss the issues. Such as Health Care of Children. Obama is Against Health Care for Children, unless you are rich, this was confirmed by his staff. It’s too expensive so he is not for Health Care for Poor Children. This is one of many issues that I disagree with Barack Obama.

Concerning the “Sniper”. I have always wanted to see the “Khyber Pass”. One day in Pakistan, my driver and I, took a trip to see the Khyber Pass. When we got within 15 km of the Pass and the Driver said he was going No further. He said that we were in great danger of being kidnapped, held for ransom or killed and the we were going back. To this day I have Not Seen the Khyber Pass.

We Did Not See, Nor was Kidnapped, Held for Ransom or Killed, But I had a strong Awareness that in the Mountains there were people who Could and Would.

So when there were “Snipers in the Area” I am sure that it was not a figment of Senator Clinton imagination. I am sure she was Aware that a dangerous situation was present.

If people in Dallas Texas, had just thought, that a “Sniper was in the Area” and were Aware that a dangerous situation was present, President Kennedy may still be alive.

I am pleased that Hillary Clinton is aware of her surroundings. Presidential Candidates should be aware of issues and put forth their solutions to the problems facing the United States. What Obama and others are doing is spending their time quoting Hillary’s actions, in serious or dangerous situations, and calling Her dishonest and Degrading her Character.

What this country need is a Person who solves the problems facing the United States, uses good Judgment and is Aware of other People and their Countries.
