Ron Paul will never win, so give up the useless fight, and give your vote to someone who actually stands a chance. 3). If you don't know how to use commas and punctuation when you write, please refrain from writing comments at all, because no one will take you seriously. Hillary probably would have done better if media representatives like Tim Russert would accept the fact that he's not a candidate and act like the moderator he was supposed to be during the debate.

After all he is the president who is waging a war that causes 4,000 (and counting) American military deaths for absolutely nothing, who nomminates a former oil industry lobbyist as the secretary of interior, who ignores scientists’ warning about global warning to protect the profit of his pals in the industries, who cuts taxes for the benefit of the rich and super rich, who raised the national debt to unheard of level with his miitary spending while ignoring the actual needs of the American people, who disregards the constitution which he is supposed to honor and safeguard, and whose international behavior makes us the most hated and despised country in modern history.

There's a saying on Don Quixote that applies perfectly for the situation: "If the dogs are barking, Sancho, it's because we are riding." Hillary is an inspiration for millions of women not only in america, but around the world, and we are with her all the way. Unfortunately even some feminists have fallen in the trap and critized her for "playing" the gender card. What I don't see is anybody attacking the guys (both parties) for playing the "Who is more macho?" card, and thence "will save the country." So, Go Hillary!!! Much has been said about the latest debate, when the "Boys only" club, ganged up against Hillary.

This election will decide the leader of the free world...our next president's decisions will not only affect the present generations but the generations to come...so, please, I implore you to look into her( or ANY candidate's for that mattter) views and what she stands for. Instead of hearing the word 'Clinton' and turning into a 'zombie voter'.
