"...Wake up ! Thanks to socialism i live in the country with the best health care programm in the world (Belgium), for every social problem we have a programm, not becaus of the conservative, but thanks to liberalism, socialism !"

*********************

And is that why Europe is starting to lean right? Looks like Ireland told you socialists where to go...after leaning right their economy is doing pretty well.

to ron from nebraska,,,,,,,,, Times were different back then my mis-guided friend, there were no internet freaks ,there was only one point of view news to read , if you were seeking the truth in news you had to go to underground sources,, and then take the chance of being called a comunist. see how history repeats itself,,, doesn't that sound familar to what you see now !!! Every day people had a stronger bond back then people trusted people. You didn't hear about each and every person of importance being drug thru the mud like you do now. It had NOTHING to do with the PARTY running America,, It had everything to do with AMERICANS !!! PROUD AMERICANS ! who live in the GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH

CNN, what are all the Republican comments deleted?

"being from Europe most of you will see me as an outsider,not able to understand American politics maybe i am, nevertheless i would like to share may comments !For nearly eight years you've had arepublican white house, the gap between the poor and the rich has never been larger, taxes have gone down only for the rich, some have gone down but compansated with others rising for the poor ! America has a debt that is still growing due to its warfare in Iraq, but rep. don't seem to find that important ! You have some of the best hospitals and trained medical staff in the world, but people in need are pressed with face on the window, looking in, but not getting in !! And sinds when is socialism such an ugly word ? are you still taking socialism for communism ? Wake up ! Thanks to socialism i live in the country with the best health care programm in the world (Belgium), for every social problem we have a programm, not becaus of the conservative, but thanks to liberalism, socialism !

Your right you have no clue what you are talking about and sorry buddy but your health programs are not better than the us. Also how long does it take you to see a doctor, a week, a month, 6 months?Sorry but we dont your socialism and we dont Hillary.

Here comes Hillary again! First there was the primary mode campaign, let's win the Democratic nomination by "bashing bush". Now, the best way for me to win the 2008 Presidency, "BASH other Republicans besides BUSH"! Yes Hillary we get the Republicans are responsible for alot of mess we are in, but Democrats share blame also. If you want to turn of the heat, then be forthright with the American people and tell us what you will do specifically to address the nation's critical problems.

OBAMA in '08!

HILLARY SAYS,

""We have to ask ourselves, 'what is this election going to be focused on?' Clinton said. "I'll tell you what I want to do. I'm not interested in attacking my opponents. I'm interested in attacking the problems of America, and I believe we should be turning up the heat on the Republicans. They deserve all the heat we can give them."

Awww poor Hillary doesn't like all the attention since everyone notices her waffling, dodging, dancing, planting questions, crying swiftboat, etc. No, let's point fingers over there – at the Republicans. Yeah... over there... not here... there.

Ba-Bye Hillary. Conservatives don't want you, intelligent democrats (Obama, Edward supporters) don't want you, Kathleen Willey (woman sexually assualted by your husband) doesn't want you.

It's time you quietly go into retirement with your loving husband Bill. Although current Vegas odds has you divorcing Bill 6 months from the moment your political career is over.

Oh yeah, the last Clinton in office left us with a weakened military, less human intelligence on the ground, and a terrorist mastermind that had attacked us 8 times that he wouldn't even take when offered to him by the Sudan.
Hillary is just what we need, if we want more scandals, more terrorist attacks, more money laundering, more sex in the white house, more wag the dog and more questions like what is *is*.
Our country deserves better than this political dribble.
Obama seems genuine and concerned about making changes that are real and positive. He hasn't had time to become corrupt as the Clintons are. lastly I think Obama can work with a mixed Senate and Congress.
Thanks to Hillary to make the choice very clear, Obama has the vote.

Leadership? please cite an example! there was no co-presidency, was she involved in every meeting? was she involved more then the vice president? how can she possibly claim ANY leadership during the Clinton Administration (what was her position?) I haven't seen her in any pictures from the Clinton Administration, I 'll bet it is a right wing conspiricy and they photo-shopped her right out. Does she really think that anybody believes her?

Funny how everyone is clamoring for change, yet we have had 16 Years of the Bushes in the White House and 8 years of the Clintons. Now we want to add another 4 – 8 years for the Clintons? 32 years with 2 families in office does not strike me as change!!

"Hillary Clinton said she is not interested in attacking opponent, she stands on American people and lead our Country to the right direction from the Republican's misled. Hillary is sound-minded candidate, and her leadership is far superior."

++++++++++++++++++++++

Whew...talk about the effectiveness of brainwashing. Say, how about some land in Florida? Besides the obvious deadlock she would bring to America, I'll bet Hillary's brothers are foaming at the mouth for another round of PARDON PEDDLING. Wake up folks, we don't need this anymore.

To Matt from Wisconsin – what is the current trade deficit between the US and the rest of the world? I think you will find everything you own has been paid for by the Chinese, pal. Not you.

Hey Dems! Did you know your hatred of Bush and Republicans was bought and paid for? Yep. Now who's the fools?

"...They see that we had one rush to war, and they say wait why not have one more?"

The war you voted for? Or the Iranian Revolutionary Guard vote that you also supported?

Go back to Arkansas. I bet you would do a fantastic job running a chain of Waffle Houses.

Waffle Waffle Waffle.

To Mark in Belgium,

Please stay out of our politics. We stay out of yours.

Your Socialized healthcare is a gift from the United States. During the Cold War, the United States subsidized NATO and other European Country's military spending. Since your Government did not have to pay to defend themselves, they were able to make healthcare a priority for you.

We paid for your healthcare – not you. We also paid for your protection, not you. So if you don't mind, please keep your opinions to yourself.

Hillary sez, "They see that we had one rush to war, and they say wait why not have one more?"

Ah yes, that 12-year "rush" to war.

Fact is, her husband should have been leading the charge against Saddam the first time he started playing a shell game with the UN Weapons inspectors in the early-mid 1990s.

Then again, he also should have been leading the charge against radical Islam the FIRST time they hit the World Trade Center. But on a positive note, he'll tell you that he was "feeling their pain," which I guess, is good enough for some people.

Reminds me of the scene in the old "Coming to America" movie, where Eric LeSalle's character said he would have helped Eddie Murphy's character take out a gun-toting thug who was robbing the restaurant, "but I was holding this cup of coffee, see..."

like she would ever FIX anything. Please.
It has been 14 years since she attempted anything with Health Care. BTW she didn't fix that either.

straight from the Clinton play book. When in trouble attack or blame the Republicans, Democrats are way too stupid to figure it out and they have been doing it for years. Complete MORONS

thats right the Republicans are unwilling to fix the problems, not like me. I fixed Health Care. I never stopped until it was fixed!

please, please, please can we please focus on "piling on" someone else this is starting to affect MY campaign.

didn't she back most of those failed policies?

is she always going to follow Obama's lead? arrrrrrrghh copied him on the change thing now she has to copy on the fire thing. Can't she be original? ugh!

Both parties SUCK! most candidates are only there to line their own pocket. Washington needs an enima and I guarantee you Hillary won't give it to them!

Hillary Clinton said she is not interested in attacking opponent, she stands on American people and lead our Country to the right direction from the Republican's misled. Hillary is sound-minded candidate, and her leadership is far superior.

Here's a question I've been wondering about. When people stand up and say they are so proud to be an American and call our country the greatest on earth do they realize that Democrats controlled Congress for something like 50 years before, during and after WW11? So if you take great pride in your country shouldn't you recognize what parties policies had the longest beneficial effect?

I just have to add. I find it so humorous reading all these negative comments from the Neocons of the GOP. It warms my soul to see them turning red and trying to flame the democratic candidates. Mostly, because they don't have a candidate worth being president on their primary. They have had eight years to build their empire and its coming down around them as they lost both the House and Senate due to this president's screwups.

Keep whining... Your time has come to an end.

Telling it like I see it,
Wynter

being from Europe most of you will see me as an outsider,not able to understand American politics maybe i am, nevertheless i would like to share may comments !For nearly eight years you've had arepublican white house, the gap between the poor and the rich has never been larger, taxes have gone down only for the rich, some have gone down but compansated with others rising for the poor !

One last thing, the only way for America to be fully acepted again, politically in Europe and the rest of the world is to put a democrat in the Oval ! Iff whe could vote for Mrs Clinton we would !!

Clinton is as right on the money like one responder said just as Bush is right on everything he's done while in office. They are birds of a feather. I don't want Bush and I don't want Clinton. Over 20 years of the Bush-Clinton dynasty is enough in the White House! It is time to move forward!

For eight years we "KNOW" what the Republicans want for us. They have had their chance and have messed it all up. Do I hear any rebuttal to this? Not a chance...

The Republicans have had control of Congress for six years while this president run us up to this useless war with Iraq. The Republican Congress has rubberstamped everything this president has asked and where are we now? Nowhere...

It's time to ask yourself. Do you want eight more years of this Bush-league politics? None of the Republican candidates have said they will end this administration's mistakes. And they all beat the war drums when asked about Iran. It's a "slamdunk" that we are facing another term of war if we let the Republicans control the White House or Congress.

It's time we said with a single voice, "NO MORE!!". It's time for change and it's time a Democratic President as the Republicans haven't learned their lesson after eight disgraceful years.

Hillary supporters....maybe we are missing something....

(let me know if I misstate anything)

Hillary voted for the war (with the same intelligence) – correct?

Hillary voted for funding for the war each and every times (except the last time) – correct?

Hillary wants to provide licenses to illegals..or maybe she doesn't – if you can make sense out of her non-answer....you are doing better than 95% of Americans. – correct?

Yet...you still back her statements like "They see eight more years of George Bush. They see a nine trillion dollar debt and say lets spend trillions more" – huh?? now you dummies really don't buy this...do you?? I mean...omg....if our education system has failed us this badly....baffling cult the DNC is....they can make you see what they want you to see....

I didn't have a chance to listen to Hillary's speech but I trust she was pointing to the issues in a thoughtful and realistic way. I listened to Obama's speech that, honestly, is well delivered and forceful. Though you can notice his civil rights vocabulary .. 'principles', 'hope', words that please the masses, kind of socialist orientation. Unfortunately, the world is more complex, and this civil rights talk can cover just a bit.

I believe Hillary has a better understanding of how to improve the current situation, she has what it takes to be a good leader. I don't trust Obama's ability to act in the real world. All his experience is about 'fighting' the authority not being one.

Plus, if nominated, he would be an easy target for Republicans – you can anticipate how they will remind voters Obama's Muslim background. Don't underestimate Republicans' ability to play this card and Americans' naivety to believe them.

I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT OSAMA OBAMA, ENOUGHT ALREADY HE IS A CLUELESS DO NOTHING BOOK WRITER, SPEECH MAKER LIBBBBBBBBBBBB!

If Hillary doesn't stand for something, she will fall for anything.

My view point is that Senator Clinton does not want us to question what she is promoting. She does not want us to accept what she is telling is right.

I am sorry but this seems like a bait and swtich manuever to me. Don't question me, but let's focus on the Republicans.

This is a classic manuever ,to take the magnifying glass of of her and put it on her competition.

We need to question her but all the candidates. Not just Democrats but Republicans as well.

If we as voters do as she says, you may be voting for someone or their policies that you don't understand, and can hurt you in the end.

Don't be fooled by this.

The Clinton News Network did not bother to mention that Obama supporters made up a majority of the 9000 attendees at the dinner-

USA Today's website reports that Obama got the best reviews from the MSM and blogosphere.

Rudy Guiliani is a heartless neocon worse than George Bush. Guiliani is more hawkish than Bush and have hired a bunch of war loving neoconservatives to shape his foreign policy. Guiliani will send America into another expensive and bloody war against Iran!

Since the other democratic candidates and the public are now demanding answers, Hillary now switches to the old standby of "fighting the republicans". This is the primary, we the voters are choosing a democratic nominee among a group of democrats not the republicans – that comes later in the general election.

Yes, Hillary I agree you have battled the republicans endlessly, but to what end. Bill lost the congress to the republicans, your health care was a disgrace. Your battles consist of personal battles – never anything for the well being of the citizens of this country. Nothing of significance was ever accomplished by your battles – nothing ever is.

It takes logic and good judgement, neither of which you have.

Move...get out the way..She has ARRIVED!

Hillary Clinton 2008-2016!

CLINTON Healthcare,Refreash my memory did she not attempt and FAIL when her husband was president. Oh Please. She is a joke. Does everyone know that on June 6th she and other liberal dems voted against english being the official language of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. If Hiliary wants to help the healthcare get rid of the illigals that are in our ERS for free healthcare. While we who work pay for this by higher healther cost. Also I get a 3% raise every year. THat is the most the company gives unless you are a ceo. My raise is lost due to higher insurance preminums. GO Hiliary YUCK

Please, Please Please Democrats focus on the republicans. This way you don't focus on the dog and pony show of my campaign and the complete stupidity of my policies. You want to "turn up the heat" then turn it up on her. Where are your files? Why give illegal aliens the same rights as Americans (drivers licenses)? 5000 bucks for babies? Who has funded your Campaign? Why all the staged questions?

There is a word for any Democrat that will spend time focusing on Republicans before Hillary has left the race.

SUCKER!!!

Her tactic is now to bait and switch as she continues to lose ground at a fast rate. The idea to win the presidency is to race against your current opponent right up to the convention. Then if you get the nomination you have plenty of time to focus on the opposition.

"Hillary has only 0.5% of her money from business contributions."

That is complete and total BS! Where are you getting that from? Haven't you been paying attention? Hillary's money comes from very questionable sources, including the Chinese Government and Convicted Felons among others. Do your own research before posting this garbage. It is you who are ignorant and making a fool of yourself by posting such total BS. If you believe that only .5% of Hillary's money comes from business, I have prime waterfront real estate for sale in New Orleans for you – and I'll make you a great deal.

GITTER DONE....RON PAUL

Good to hear this Hillary!

Moreover, don't just focus on the Republicrites, in addition offer some centrist solutions that will appeal to the moderates you need to win.

Good luck!

Hillary your not even close to even be in the running for president, and you want to attack the Republic parties.
Attack I quess you have Iran on your mind!

This means that Hillary is confident that she no longer sees the democratic contenders as a challenge , SO now she shifting her focus to the republicans .

Excellent

Hillary's remark that Dems need to decide what they are for proves that even a blind pig gets an acorn once in a while. I find myself in agreement with that statement.
Sadly, Hillary if for the same big money interests as she has always been for. We who do not make large contributions to politicians will be ignored yet again just as Bush has ignored us.

Posted By Bob, Roxboro, MC : November 11, 2007 12:42 pm

Bob,

Hillary has only 0.5% of her money from business contributions. Most of her money comes from people like you and me. Check out the facts from the numbers with EC.

Who told you that she only takes money from big business? Edwards? Obama?

Check the facts yourself on the websites and then make the right judgement. Dont fall for people like Edwards & Obama, who only talk about half-truth and then make a fool out of you.

Tom from Albuquerque:

" Hillary is The Tiger Woods of politics?" Huh???

Obviously, you are the most devoted fan of HRC on this blog, but for the love of God, how did you came up with THIS comparison? LOL!!!!

Democrats suck. They hate our troops. A democrat is no different from a terroist. Democrats have deserted our troops. And Hitler Clinton, you and you sicko husband already ran the country, and you both sucked at that.

TURN UP THE HEAT. WOW!!

I can't believe you have written a whole article on this lame, un-authentic, contrived speech! There was only ONE candidate there who fired up that crowd...who had the MOST support in that arena...and that person was Barack Obama. CNN, you're backing the wrong horse.

Hillary's remark that Dems need to decide what they are for proves that even a blind pig gets an acorn once in a while. I find myself in agreement with that statement.

What's the percentage of stupid people in this country? The Hillary and Bush haters can never give credit where credit is due. How many people out there are capable of reasoning and weighing issues? How many of you losers here on the Ticker can concede a point to someone you won't necessarily vote for? Our democracy is going to hell.

No wonder intelligent, rational people don't bother entering politics. It's nothing but serving special interests,and using cliches and buzzwords so the most feeble-brained "citizens" will vote for them. Single issues for single-minded people.

I'm NOT a Ron Paul supporter, but he was absolutely correct with his assessment of why we were attacked on 9-11, and then he was ridiculed by Giuliani. And yet Giuliani is now the number one candidate for the Republicans? Do we want another administration based on knee-jerk reaction policy and John Wayne posturing? Hillary's not perfect, but at least she presents some semblance of a thinking person.
What's the point? Most people don't have the faculty of reason and logic to actually debate here on the Ticker.

MEMO TO CLINTON: This is the Primaries – not the general election. You can hide your dirty secrets now, put Republicans will uncover them.

As a Republican, I ask fellow Republicans and Independents to caucus and vote for the candidate who wants to be President of the UNITED States of America – Barack Obama.

Life-long Republican, Monica Green hasn’t always been a partisan voter, but she seems to have always voted for the candidate that wins- voted for Bill Clinton twice, voted George Bush twice and now she's caucusing for Barack along with hundreds of other Republicans. Read it here and be fired up: http://campaignsandelections.com/IA/articles/?ID=930

Also, in case you missed it, here's Barack's MOST FORCEFUL statement yet, on the ELECTABILITY factor. Read it and get fired up! even more: http://www.suntimes.com/news/sweet/643488,sweet110907.article

So, I guess this does truly mean that she is in general election mode instead of primary mode. Well, Hillary, let me tell you, you will never get to the REAL general election mode!!

Obama/Edwards or Edwards/Obama '08

I'm not sure she can safely accuse the Republicans of warmongering. Neither she nor her husband have a great record of keeping a sane foreign policy.

Hillary Clinton"s approach to this primary challenge is nonpareil. She is running a near perfect campaign. She is focused, determined, articulating with assurance and glib when necessary. Hillary is more prepared for the task at hand than any of her rivals, Democrats or Republican.
Her ascension to the President is a fait accompli. She is currently the Tiger Woods of politics. FOCUSED!

Hillary is looking hot hot hot!

This is hilarious. Because I think it is the Republicans who are about to train their crosshairs on Hillary. She has not just a closet full, but a whole house full of skeletons. Wait til the story about Peter Paul and Stan Lee that has been buried til now comes out. This is just the beginning. She could not only not get elected president, but could actually end up in jail. How's that? Google Clinton, Peter Paul, and Stan Lee.

300 million Americans and this is the best slate of candidates we can come up with? Pathetic, and Hillary tops the list of the pathetic!

I can't wait to see the Hillary haters post thier diatribes as they react like trained seals to the latest post.
Maybe some off the wall reference to her supposed socialist healthcare proposal of the 90s. You know, the one where 3 insurance companies had to compete for your coverage every year. No whining and dining the CEO or posting inflated insurance rates to the employees to increase thier share of the costs. The last thing the insurance giants and the medicorp conglomerates want is competition. A catered lunch to the doctors office every week is so much more american. Go for it my deluded hate radio minnions.

====================================

Those who disagree with you are not trained seals. They actually realize that it is not the government's job to cater to a gimme generation. Indeed, it is the government's job to enforce accountability. And our current system does best – people either have the buy insurance and try not to get too sick or save up money for a rainy day.

After all, if you get cancer, but you had a spend spend lifestyle and failed to save any money or maintain any insurance, why should the taxpayer be responsible? Its YOUR problem. That's the problem with socialized medicine.

"JB-you really need to watch real news and stop the the fictional viewing such as FOX. You're becoming a laughing stock. Fox news has absolutely no credibility and neither do you."

JB, SHAMR on you for having an opposing opinion and watching a news network that isn't affliated with Rosey or Al Franken in any way!! SHAME, SHAME!!!

BTW, I'd like to know what specific qualities and experience make Hillary the best candidate over all other Dems and Reps as well.

Clinton is collapsing in the Democratic primary. Check out yesterday's New Hampshire primary poll that has her lead cut in half by Obama.

CNN, you guys are making it very hard to defend you against accusations of being solely pro-Hillary. From every other news source I come across, I glean that Obama had the speech of the night. You don't mention any other aspect of the JJ dinner. Help those of us who see you as a reputable news source by making extra effort be more even-handed.

While I'm not a fan of Hillary, I agree with her that the entire country should turn up the heat on the Republicans. Their corruption, lies, stupidity, cronyism and inept leadership have taken America down the wrong path and it's time for some Accountability!

Talk about lemmings! She makes a statement, they chant in return, and all the progressives call Republicans "blind followers."

Of course she wants to "Turn up the heat" on the Republicans, it's been a little hot in her kitchen lately, so much for co-opting Truman's line.

Repunlicans haven't attacked her, most of their criticisms have been responses to her shooting her trap off first. Be honest with yourselves and look back at this campaign season so far. She has bad-mouthed Bush at every turn and when it comes back at her somehow it's an attack by the vast right wing conspiracy or by the other candidates picking on the girl. The 'politics of piling on', give me a break. If you're gonna dish it out you better be able to take it!

Not one vote cast yet and she's already 'disenfranchised' the other side of the aisle if the tragic happens and she gets elected.

Do you honestly think the Republicans in Congress are gonna work with her after all of the smack she's been talking?

One thing she did have right, "Democrats need to decide what [they] are for." Start with yourself sister. I think the other guys have been fairly clear to this point.

"They see a nine trillion dollar debt and say lets spend trillions more. " I think Ron Paul has a slightly different take on it, so do some of the others. She's the one that wants to spend spend spend.

Healthcare, baby bonds, driver's licenses, keep the war going, vote for Kyl-Lieberman, earmarks out the wazoooooooo!

Give me a break!

Early 2008 Bumper Stickers:

Life's a b*itch, don't vote for one.

Hillary doesn't have the balls to be president.

Wasn't it just a couple days ago that Bill and Hillary were whinning about the other candidates "turning the heat up" on her at the debates? Why does she think she's "special?" Don't give the the gender reason, it doesn't count! This is a "candidate" race, not a race of women and men!

Does everyone get to "turn up the heat" on Hillary, too? She wanted into this fight and then started crying "gender" when she got smacked.

This election, no one will be able to claim that they voted for the "lesser of two evils." There is NO "lesser" in this offering.

And a message to ALL candidates. Please take note: YOU CANNOT BUY MY VOTE! Your "history" is all I'm interested in at this point.

I'm with Alan from St. Louis. It's one thing to talk and sound or look like a leader, it's quite another to be one. Hillary followed along with all these Republican policies. Her judgment is embarrassingly bad. And she's already sold her soul to the lobbyists. But even if you're willing to ignore all this just answer this question for me hillary supporters . If she's elected president, do you really believe she'll be able to get bi-partisan support for any of her policies through congress, or will the fight her at ever turn and we'll get more of the same of what we have right now where it's congress vs the president and neither can get any real changes through.

"...They deserve all the heat we can give them."

And Hillary's not going to further polarize America? Yeah, right. Ask yourselves, do we need more of this rhetoric?

Slogan wars - now its "Turn up the Heat" vs. Obama's "Fire It Up."

Hillary keeps pulling this same stunt co-opting Obama's rhetoric but revealing a basic difference between the two candidates. Obama urges the individual to light the fire in themselves - he is moving people to action. Hillary message is that she will demogogue it for you - turn up the heat for you. Obama invites you join him to change things. Hillary asks you to trust her to do it. Hmmm. TRUST. CLINTON. ?

What is CNN agenda to ignore all the candidates including Obama's great call to lead all Americans?

Like Bush with his red enclave, Clinton cannot think beyond blue states
Looks like thats what CNN thrives, a divided, hawkish America

The voters are watching and know better than this

Yeah. Give them heck and bring home the nomination and presidency.

Go Hillary Go! Hillary 08!

Happy Veterans Day ... take a couple of minutes to Honor their sacrifice so some of you have the Freedom to complain about how sorry America is...

I could care less about Hitlery or Osama

Go Huckabee!! and pick Liberman as VP!

From a retired Army Command Sergeant Major

Of course she says that cause she has been EXPOSED...sorry Hillary you are finished...GAME OVER

"... I would've used that $9 trillion on healthcare, education and funding social security forever. Jeez."

Of course you would, you're from Socialist Canada.

JB-you really need to watch real news and stop the the fictional viewing such as FOX. You're becoming a laughing stock. Fox news has absolutely no credibility and neither do you.

People, look at the issues, the Republicans are on the wrong side on all. The national debt today is over $9 trillion, I would've used that $9 trillion on healthcare, education and funding social security forever. Jeez.

"...best poster boy Hillary could ever hope for. Ironically enough, the same can be said for Bin Laden"

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING!!! How convenient to forget that Al Qaeda's training camps went unchecked during Clinton's entire administration. Clinton's utter LACK OF LEADERSHIP and UNWILLINGNESS to risk political capital to quell Al Qaeda in its infancy mushroomed to devastating consequences. Unfortunately, Clinton only acted when polls supported him. My God, get real and stop drinking the cool aid.

Ruth, nyc. David Yepsen is quoted nationally because he is the Republican darling at the Des Moines register, all true Iowans know he is just the shill of the republican party here. Enough said.

These are the Primaries folks–let the candidates say what they want. Until we (the Dems) have selected a leader we can expect nothing but attacks from the RNC. But remember, no matter what–we need a candidate that will not: ignore corporate welfare; continue to raise taxes on middle class; shed American blood for shallow purpose; ignore important social concerns of the nation like childcare, social security, healthcare; marginalize the interests or ignore our important allies; thumb their nose at the U.N; skirt the constitution and laws of the nation to pursue their own agenda. We do not need this kind of person as President ever again!!

Bush is by far the best poster boy Hillary could ever hope for. Ironically enough, the same can be said for Bin Laden. Best recruiting tool Al Queda ever had was Bush. Bush is his and his parties own worst enemy. I know a larger number of Republicans know that now and that's why so many rats have jumped ship and distanced themselves from him. I can't help but love the bitter irony in all of this while watching the hapless right-wing reactionaries getting their Karmic justice. Them and their partisan allies on the high court stopped at nothing to get Bush in and successfully forced this buffoon on us despite the fact Al Gore won the popular vote by a million votes (give or take 537 ha ha!) and lo and behold Bush turns out to be the one biggest thing that would be responsible for bringing back what most foaming-at-the-mouth Republicans hate most in the world- The Clintons back in the White House! Go Hillary!

"Clinton said that Americans are "done with Republicans and their failed policies" and added that "Democrats need to decide what [they] are for."

What are Dems for? Socialism, entitlements, Govt regulation, higher taxes. All elements of European society and look at their economies (with the exception of Ireland)...stagnated with high unemployment.

The point is we do have problems that require addressing, but NOT using the European template.

Kyu-

"There's no question about Hillary's great leadership, brilliant abilities, handling the situation and caring children and women"

If you can actually explain to me what gives you the idea that she has these qualities, I will listen. As will many others. I haven't seen it. Also, are you saying the other candidates DON'T care about women and children. The statement is absurd!

And by the way, Fox is now reporting that she planted more questions. And I'll save all you "progressives" the trouble.

Notice how she took two positions in one sentence. She doesn't want to attack anyone, but she wants to attack Republicans. At least in the debate it took her a couple sentences to flip-flop on licenses for illegals.

The, she takes positions to go against the positions that she has already taken. She said she wants to keep the troops in Iraq until at least 2013. She said that she wants to spend billions more dollars on things like baby bonds, universal health care, and 401K bonds. She took a hard line against Iran. Is she trying to convince people she's more like a leader or more like a patient in the hospital for amnesia?

I would hope that all of the Dems stop bashing eachother and go after Guliani, who is a true slimebag.
He takes credit for some made up heroism at 9/11, when he was really the problem. Putting his hdqtrs in the one place that every terrorist wanted to attack, the World Trade Center, for which he receioved a $100,000 donation from the owner the day after he put it there.
He was in charge of getting radios that police and firefighters could communicate with- those did not work. Hundreds of firefighters could have been saved if someone who REALLY cared about their welfare, rather than his own greed, had been mayor of NYC that day. He is a disgusting war profiteer, dare I say even worse than Bush, and a big war monger. Dangerous and corrupt. Stop bashing each other and go after the evil people who would continue the coup against our great government and Constitution

Typical Hill, blame the Republicans for everything, offer NO WAY TO FIX it.

Blame the Republicans for everything, vote with the war hawks.

Blame the Republicans for everything, except hundreds of thousands of dollars of health care lobbyists dollars and allow them to destroy your attempts at health care reform.

Blame the Republicans for everything, then follow Republican policy of not directly talking to foreign leaders.

Blame the Republicans for everything, then claim you can get Republicans to vote for you.

We need ANSWERS. We need ACTION. We need CHANGE IN WASHINGTON. We DON'T NEED more partisan politics. THINGS MUST GET DONE!

BARACK OBAMA '08

“I am running for president because I am sick and tired of Democrats thinking the only way to look tough on national security it talking and acting and voting like George Bush Republicans...
“When I am the nominee of this party, the Republican nominee will not be able to say I voted for the war in Iraq, or that I gave George Bush the benefit of the doubt on Iran, or that I support Bush-Cheney policies of not talking to leaders that we don’t like...
“I don’t want to spend the next year or the next four years refighting the same fights that we had in the 1990s ... I don’t want to pit red America against blue America.”- Barack Obama at the JJ Dinner last night.

Hillary is aging fast now. Bill Clinton comes to Canada and bashes the states all the time.

Who is going to show the Democrats "what they are for" when Hillary has no idea what she's for? She has a position to placate anyone; that is her position. I think that's it, no maybe it's different, oh well, she'll change again tomorrow.

There's no question about Hillary's great leadership, brilliant abilities, handling the situation and caring children and women. I think she is the most qualified candidate among 16 male candidates.
The 44th President, Madam President of United States of America,
Hillary Clinton!

anything to take the focus off her question planting!

...And EXACTLY what problems did your Hubby's administration "fix" other than passing spending bills presented from a Republican Congress that led to a balanced budget? I ask only because you like to cite his terms in office on your resume and pass is off a YOUR experience.

I don't recall health care reform amounting to anything, there was social security reform, but it too was a Republican bill Hubby signed. Hubby did not fix immigration and ignored the recommendations of the Jordan Commission. There was no Energy Bill to brag about during Hubby's terms. sO, AGAIN, EXACTLY WHAT WAS ACCOMPLISHED? Al Qaeda terrorist training camps flourished in Afghanistan without response from hubby. The intelligence community was decimated. Hubby made a terrific "deal" with North Korea...we see where that led. We never did find out what the definition of "is" is, according to Hubby. BUT, to give credit where credit is due...Hubby did resolve, kinda, the issue of gays in the military. Why that was a top priority escaped me at the time, but perhaps we are starting to understand why.

So, I have ask, please voters "turn up the heat" in questioning her claims of "EXPERIENCE".

Yes, she would like the Democrat party candidates to focus on the Republicans so they don't focus on HER!!

This is funny.

What an inspiring speech she gave last night! I was there, and this sealed the deal for me! I'm caucusing for Hillary!

What is hillary for ? I have not heard her say exactly ?? Turn up the heat ? I would rather see her just get out of the kichen before she burns us all !!!!! I would much rather see my countries leaders fail TRYING to do somthing positive like No child left behind, or not have the success in areas of national importance that leader would like, the war in Iraq ( " history will have to show how that one will turn out ") Or not pushinging through a health care package that is mirrored on canada's already failed system and is sure to create staggeringly large government agencies bleeding our taxpayers dry. If hillary wants to focas on fixing the problems, than JUST SAY WHAT YOUR GOING TO DO LADY !! dont turn up the heat on the republicans,, turn up your game and stand for SOMTHING GEEESE Americans are not as gullible as we used to be ,,,

Good strategy. Turn the attention away from yourself. Your pathetic performance definitely needs a diversion.

SEE THIS IS THE REASON WHY I'M VOTING FOR HILLARY. SHE ALWAYS SHOWS GREAT LEADERSHIP AND STRENGTH ABLITIES, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED. TURN UP THE HEAT!

Yes we are upset with the Republicans. Guess what we are also upset with the Democrats. Neither of you are listening to the drowning American citizens while you argue who's right.

Sorry Hillary but the front runner in either party is open season for the others.Why should we take our eye off the front runner? Why are you trying to run the same old BS about the Republicans past us when more than likely the front leading Democrat will be the next President. Guess what? Many of us are wanting to hear what the other Dems are saying about you. Cause your tied into many things Americans do not want and don't seem capable of explaining your postions in common English that many of your constituents seem capable of understanding. Maybe in a couple months when you slip more in the polls you will be more comfortable about telling the nasties on the other candidates.I'll be voting for someone else.

David Yepsen, who is the most respected Iowa political journalist, has weighed in on the speeches tonight: read what he has to say here.

CLINTON IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY! THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO FOCUS ON THE REPUBLICANS MORE THAN EACHOTHER! NOT EVERYONE BELIEVES THE SAME WAY, NO MTTER WHAT PARTY THEY ARE APART OF. BESIDES THE WAR IN IRAQ,THE REBUBLICANS ARE NOT CONCERNED ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE! IF THIS WAR NEEDS TO GO ON, THEN SO BE IT! THEREFORE, THE DEMOCRATS NEED TO "TURN UP THE HEAT" AND OPEN THE AMERICAN PEOPLES EYES TO WHAT THE REBLUBLICANS FAIL TO!

I can't wait to see the Hillary haters post thier diatribes as they react like trained seals to the latest post.
Maybe some off the wall reference to her supposed socialist healthcare proposal of the 90s. You know, the one where 3 insurance companies had to compete for your coverage every year. No whining and dining the CEO or posting inflated insurance rates to the employees to increase thier share of the costs. The last thing the insurance giants and the medicorp conglomerates want is competition. A catered lunch to the doctors office every week is so much more american. Go for it my deluded hate radio minnions.

I wounder how shes going to do that?

she votes for all the major republican issues.

YES for Iraq war
YES for next BUSH IRAN WAR
YES for BUSHES policies

But she denies it all.
How she votes in the senate. Is not whats she says to the people. But yet Clinton followers just stick their heads in the ground and go I love Clinton she is the best to fix the country. I dont know what to say besides the spins and smoke screen she tells us to say. Clinton can you tell me a question you want me to ask you? LOL I love you CLINTON I dont want to ask you a hard question that will expose your true colors.

She bashes Democrats on there global politics. Then claims them as her own.

Obama Naive for suggesting he will open diplomatic talks with Iran. Several mnths latter. I will open Diplomatic talks with Iran. lol
