		<description>She&#039;s going to finish third in Iowa, of course she&#039;s not the frontrunner, she has no chance of getting the nomination. If she did, it would be President Huckabee or Thompson...</description>

		<description>Folks, the new zogby polls shows that 50% will never vote for hillary. In modern political times, never a candidate has won with such a negative number. Rudy guiliani or even Mike Huckabee has a good chance to beat hillary clinton. yes, you heard it right. Mike Huckabee is growing so fast. I am not a supporter of him but more and more I hear him talk, he seems to be making inroads into republican party.</description>

		<description>Hillary Clinton will win in Iowa.  Hillary will be the best president in the history of the United States.  Denial will get us nowhere as a nation.  Instead of aiding and abetting the right wingers with their hate we all need to support Hillary Clinton for the change we NEED. Hillary Clinton is the most qualified, the most experienced candidate and she&#039;s READY TO LEAD.</description>

		<description>Exactly it&#039;s still just as much an open race on the side of the democrats as it is the republicans. This notion that Hillary is the frontrunner because the &quot;polls&quot; say so is ridiculous. Obama is far more electable and could put those &quot;conservative&quot; liars in there place during any debate. I am supporting Obama go to www.barackobama.com to find out why. NO HILLARY AND NO REPUBLICANS IN 2008!!!

&quot;The unfettered free market has been the most radically disruptive force...&quot;

If you want to know what an &#039;unfettered free market&#039; is like, ask your grandparents about the Great Depression.</description>

		<description>Although, I&#039;m not a Hillary supporter the polls probably do reflect a current majority Clinton voters.  I don&#039;t put any stock in the numbers, howeverI do in the sentiment generated by such polls.  All these Hillary supporters talk about her experience, passion, knowledge, and temper to be President.  First and foremost, Hillary has exposure to the US Presidency not experience.  The only official policy she was involved in was leading Bill Clinton&#039;s national health care plan in which she failed miserably.  How many of the pollsters are supporting Hillary because of Bill Clinton?  Americans do your research!  Hillary&#039;s time in the Senate and prior career experience does not lead me to believe she can be President.  If she can&#039;t keep her own house in order (cheatin&#039; Bill), I doubt she would have more success in the White House.</description>

Sweetie...you are fantastically condescending. Maybe Kelly from AZ shouldn&#039;t have muddled the issue of Hillary with that of gay rights but likewise, you should not be belittling in such a way. Keep it up; oh, and keep saving the free world too...with a personality like that I&#039;d wager to say you&#039;re well on your way.</description>

		<description>If 50 percent of the electorate hasn&#039;t chosen you, they&#039;re not going to, Mrs. Clinton. You&#039;ve had several years of riding Bill&#039;s coat tails to prove yourself to them and you have not. You consistantly play it safe and play to the corporate money men to make you competitive against Barack Obama, and that&#039;s about it.

I hear you&#039;re holding a &quot;Rural Iowans&quot; party, in Washington D.C., at a Lobby firm for Monsanto Inc., the worst evironmental polluters of pesticide and genetically modified foods in existance, a company that has been banned in Europe, a company that is the definition of corporate greed and irresponsibility.

Barack Obama has passed more bipartisan bills on more meaningful legislation, including the first ethics reform in a generation which is the reason you can no longer use that Monsanto provided jet, Mrs. Clinton.

While you were on the board of Wall Mart in the 80&#039;s getting Wall Mart to fund Bill&#039;s campaign, Barack Obama was out hitting the streets of Southside Chicago on behalf of out of work steel mill workers, getting them new jobs and better homes. He turned down several six figure salaries to do that Mrs. Clinton. Have you ever done the same?

Who is calling you the front runner? The ESTABLISHMENT, those that stand to benefit from your being the nominee. If you win, then Rupert Murdock and his Fox cronies will be happy that you were in their pocket. But then, your new buddies over at fox aren&#039;t telling you some things, like for example, that they&#039;re hoping you&#039;re the nominee because they believe that you WILL LOSE.

Barack Obama is looking ahead, 30 years of BUSH and CLINTON is not what this country needs. WE need to turn the page and look forward, look to a real leader of substance and integrity instead of one mired in ego and greed the same way that our current misfit and chief is.

Obama in 08. Obama can make a difference and change the status quo. Obama will restore us to ourselves again.</description>

		<description>What I really respect about Hilary Clinton is that she really seems to be in it for the right reasons.  I also like that she talks to people on a one-on-one basis.  I think she&#039;s putting her viewpoints out there, and a lot of people are siding with her on the major issues.  I also think that Hilary seems to me to be an incredibly hard person to break or beat; I trust that she will be able to defend our country against terrorists while not talking down to us the way republicans do.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What I really respect about Hilary Clinton is that she really seems to be in it for the right reasons.  I also like that she talks to people on a one-on-one basis.  I think she's putting her viewpoints out there, and a lot of people are siding with her on the major issues.  I also think that Hilary seems to me to be an incredibly hard person to break or beat; I trust that she will be able to defend our country against terrorists while not talking down to us the way republicans do.</p>

		<description>Hillary may not be the &quot;front runner&quot; but EVERYONE including Obama&#039;s own camp have come to realize (as much as they won&#039;t admit it) that she will win the nomination. She&#039;s no Howard Dean and the fact that Democrats nationally are rallying around her is proof of that. The Republicans spent all their time in the debate attacking her? Why? Because they are AFRAID of her because they know they can&#039;t beat her! Obama and Edwards weren&#039;t even mentioned in passing because the GOP will beat them easily! Hillary Clinton is tough enough to take any of those RepubliCANTs on!</description>

		<description>Charles from Utah said this &quot; Hillary is a divider , not a healer&quot;.

I am wondering if Hillary is divider or prejudiced hatred filled people are the real divider. You see a person as a divider, when your heart is filled with hatred.

May be Charles, you should look inside yourself and you may find you are a divider, not a healer. May be that will change the world around you.

It is the people who hate, who see Hillary as divider. They rely on every bit of hearsay to justify their prejudiced thought process.</description>

		<description>Colin742: You&#039;re preaching to the choir, but what&#039;s your point supposed to be? It so happens I voted for Bill Clinton -- twice, as a matter of fact (different elections of course) -- but like a lot of people I wasn&#039;t the only person who came away from his Presidency with a bad taste in the mouth. When the country was being all at each other&#039;s throats and he was lying directly to us -- not to protect some great national security matter, but to protect his own sorry self -- I lost respect for him. Gore would have made a fine President, but he should have been sworn in upon Clinton&#039;s resignation, THEN gone on to be elected easily in 2000. Again, the fact that he wasn&#039;t is Clinton&#039;s fault and no one else&#039;s. Hell, even Nixon had the grace to leave office rather than put the country through the sort of turmoil that Bill Clinton did.

And what&#039;s with the IQ shtick? The man has a high IQ; so what? Mine&#039;s 142, yours sounds about the same. Kennedy&#039;s was 117. I understand even Hitler&#039;s was well above average. Bush&#039;s IQ... well, I&#039;m sure it can probably be measured. But so what? Means nothing.

If I may return to the original point I made, where I attempted to answer the lady&#039;s question about why so many of the posts were so angry: It began with Clinton being a putz. Personally I am sick to death of the anger and animosity we&#039;ve endured for the past ten years, and would like to see an end to it. As I&#039;ve pointed out before, ANY of the other Democratic candidates would likely be a shoo-in, and a couple of them are even outstanding, but Hillary Clinton is a divider and not a healer. 

Be well.</description>

		<description>&quot;Hey Rex, I am a Democrat and I agree with many of things Ron Paul says. How can his website say this, however:

&quot;Americans are justifiably concerned over the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health.&quot; AND &quot;I have been the national leader in preserving Health Freedom.&quot;

Yet, he has voted on several occasions to interfere with a woman&#039;s right to make her own healthcare decisions. I am strongly against abortion, yet I don&#039;t believe it is the government&#039;s responsibility enforce it. Do you know how much that would cost? Also, banning abortion will NOT decrease the amount of abortions there are! The only way abortions can be decreased is through knowledge and (gasp) birth control. I don&#039;t understand why this country is so scared to discuss sex education.

I don&#039;t know. I,like you consider myself a liberal. However, I&#039;m pulled in opposite directions regarding the abortion issue. My opinion really doesn&#039;t matter here, now. And I can&#039;t answer for Dr. Paul, but I can assume that perhaps the fact that he has practiced ob/gyn medicine and delivered over 4,000 babies might have something to do with it. Do doctors that routinely deliver babies also perform abortions? I really don&#039;t know. I&#039;m not certain how someone could do both. Here is a break down of his voting record in regards to abortion and other issues.

		<description>As are almost all Americans -- I am all for female candidates, male candidates, candidates of all backgrounds. That is why I am taken aback by Senator Clinton constantly referring to her primary opponents as &quot;the men,&quot; as in &quot;I am getting a lot of attention from &#039;the men&#039; in this race&quot; -- when she is criticized. I have heard it repeatedly.  

I know she is just trying to rally the women&#039;s vote-- which is fine and good--but imagine if Senator Obama were to say-- &quot;I am getting a lot of attention from those &#039;white&#039; candidates.&quot;  I speculate that his campaign would be over.  

I find it odd that this sort of gender divisiveness is not the subject of critical comment.</description>

		<description>This may very well be the most manipulative woman on the face of the earth.

Don&#039;t fall for the polls conducted by Mark Penn (HRC&#039;s chief strategist).  Women are too bright to fall for this act that Hillary Clinton is selling.

We will not vote for you Hillary.  We will not vote for a mother who didn&#039;t care enough about the children of other women to read the intelligence made available to you before voting for the Iraq war. 

And now, HRC, as you position yourself with the republicans who are itching to attack Iran, we will not stand with you.

You do not represent me, or my views and I will never vote for you.</description>

		<description>Rex, I thoroughly enjoyed the Carlin video.  Had a couple beefs with the Ron Paul video, though.  1) The clown that got Tazed - a) that was at a John Kerry event, and he is a Democrat.  b) The guy was out of line, fought the cops and deserved it.  There was no repression of free speech there, as the video makes it out.  2) The video attributed a quote to Ronald Regan that is not his.  That quote, &quot;Peace is not the absence of war...&quot; is a zen maxim, and has been used by the Dali Lama.  Sorry, Ron was a great guy, but that one is not his.

Other than that, it was a good video, and I like what I hear from Ron Paul.</description>

		<description>Some posters were kind enough to share their rosey, Utopian vision of America&#039;s future should Hillary Clinton be elected. Thank you for that. Here&#039;s mine -- any of you old enough to remember 1964?

Like LBJ, Hillary easily carries the election as the &quot;centrist, social progressive&quot; who has all sorts of plans and promises she hopes to accomplish. But she inherits an armed overseas conflict that she supported. Savvy enough to realize that there are legitimate US interests involved, she doesn&#039;t immediately end our military involvement (as the liberal base who helped elect her would prefer), but wants to appear firm and strong enough to satisfy her centrist base. Another attack is eventually made on the United States (because our enemies couldn&#039;t care less who is in office; any incumbant is the &quot;Great Satan&quot;, after all), and she feels compelled to respond in force, drawing the armed forces and foreign policy deeper and deeper into an ever escalating conflict that consumes young American lives and divides the country. The draft is reinstated (has to be), and minorities will grow angry that their numbers are disproportionately represented while affluent white collage students (like she and her husband used to be) manage to obtain exemptions. By the time she manages to leave office she has become reviled by the left, is still hated by the right, and has disappointed and disgusted the center.

LBJ was as political a shenanigan-puller as they come, but he was actually a pretty good President, having always thought of his most valuable contribution being the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, but his &quot;War on Poverty&quot; was no more successful than than the one in Vietnam. Hardly anyone from that generation thinks kindly of him today, or recalls the day when he finally died. 

Will this be Hillary Clinton&#039;s eventual legacy? Time will tell.</description>

		<description>harles in Orem, Utah 

THere is an 8&#039; statue of Clinton in Kosovo. The Serbs drove 1,000,000 Muslim Kosovars (Kosovarians in Bush grade 6 language) from their homes. Under Clinton, with a NATO (mostly US) forces, led by General Weseley Clarke, who I hope will become VP, the Muslim Kosovars were returned to their homes. No US forces died in this operation. 

In contrast, millions of innocent Iraquis have been driven from their homes as a result of Bush&#039;s war to increase the price of oil.

A plot to Hijack and crash 10 US ailiners was discovered in the Phillipines. Several months before 911, there was a warning predicting a major terrorist operation. Although warned, neither Bush or Security advisor Rice, did anything. They ignored Richard Clarke&#039;s warnings.

Had Clinton still been president, with Clinton&#039;s brilliant mind (IQ 169), i think it is likely that he would have remembered the airliner plan, linked it to the warning, and done something. You will remember, FBI Director Free, The Republican idiot, who was great with a stained dress, but who did nothing when the an FBI agent reported Massaoui (now convicted of terrorism) was taking flying lessons.

3000 people died on 911 due the incompetance of Bush, Rice, Free. 1000s more have died since due his incompetance and perfidy.</description>

		<description>Kyu Reisch from Radcliff, KY.
Are you a HRC intern? It seems like you are so blinded in HRC support that you leave no room for objective criticism. Who needs to apologize to HRC. If she wins, it is people like you, her supporters who will have to apologize for misleading the american people by perfecting the art of concealing her serious weaknesses such as:
--the Hsu saga
--the chinese immigrant donors saga
---the vote to authorize war in Iraq
--Declaring the Iran revolutionary Guards a terrorist organization
---Copying the health care plan for Edwards
--Copying idea of not setting limits on social security taxes
--evading genuine questions by claiming the questioner has been sent by someone
---refusing to remove her name from the MI ballot like other democratic party candidates</description>

		<description>To Charles in Orem - sounds like you have the &quot;Rove Sound Bite&quot; - it&#039;s GOP policy to divide and conquer - pit the weak against each other and let the &quot;elite&quot; prosper.  The only people Hillary will &quot;divide&quot; the the greedy, the corrupt and the demigods - YES YOU GOP FOLKS.  Charles, we have had enough of the rove sound bites, VOTE DEMOCRAT and bring our country back from the most divisive and corrupt administration in the history of America.  No GOP candidate will do anything different than the current administration.  All promise, no compassion!  Every GOP candidate has expressed their support for more of the same &quot;bush league&quot; policy.  Bush was supposed to be the &quot;great uniter&quot; the super &quot;decider&quot; and what did we get, GOP greed, rich got richer, the Christians got church support form the treasury,  the red states got pork barrel spending, defense contracts went to GOP districts.</description>

		<description>That black presidential candidate Barrack Obama could be a mere 7 points behind the leading white presidential candidate Hillary Clinton should tell everyone that Clinton is not all that well liked or supported. Worse, when we consider another white presidential candidate John Edwards is 6 points behing Clinton and one point ahead of Obama, it actually emphasizes the fact that Hillary is not all that big in the race. Given who she has been she should have been enjoying double digit leads, but something&#039;s wrong with her.</description>

		<description>Hey Rex, I am a Democrat and I agree with many of things Ron Paul says.  How can his website say this, however:

&quot;Americans are justifiably concerned over the government’s escalating intervention into their freedom to choose what they eat and how they take care of their health.&quot; AND &quot;I have been the national leader in preserving Health Freedom.&quot;

Yet, he has voted on several occasions to interfere with a woman&#039;s right to make her own healthcare decisions.  I am strongly against abortion, yet I don&#039;t believe it is the government&#039;s responsibility enforce it.  Do you know how much that would cost?  Also, banning abortion will NOT decrease the amount of abortions there are!  The only way abortions can be decreased is through knowledge and (gasp) birth control.  I don&#039;t understand why this country is so scared to discuss sex education.</description>

		<description>Yes people, just keep piling on the hate. Look to a Hillary Presidency as a chance to &quot;get even&quot; for all your perceived injustices. 

Don&#039;t care for Bush? Well, don&#039;t feel like the Lone Ranger. But please don&#039;t keep insisting the Clintons are the solution. They&#039;re half of the problem.

Meanwhile, your own words demonstrate my point precisely: Hillary is a divider, not a healer. Would any sane or sensible person want to keep THAT sort of pain going when we do have reasonable alternatives?</description>

		<description>Colin742,
I&#039;m sorry your comment was cut off just as you were about to mention -- what was it, something about a statue of Bill Clinton being erected by a Muslim country? Not surprising. You also alluded to the &quot;international respect&quot; Bill Clinton enjoyed at the time he exited the Presidency, in spite of the nasty things he was accused of and managed to squelch and keep hidden (or not). Somehow though, I doubt if the seeds for 9-11 were sown only after he left office. I seem to recall quite a few instances of attacks being made on the US during his watch, none of which prompted him to take the sort of steps that could have prevented 9-11. Say what you will about the evil Repubs, but at least we haven&#039;t had another domestic attack on US soil since 2001. The current administration is nothing to write home about, but it&#039;s simplistic to want to blame all our ills on them.
Personally, I find I could favor two of the Democratic candidates currently running, as well as two of the Republicans. They are similar in some aspects, and vastly different in others, but I dearly hope I will have the chance to have to choose between them come the general election. That way, if the person I don&#039;t select should win, I will at least be able to put my support behind the winner and wish them well and pray the country can indeed &quot;move on.&quot;
