Bill Clinton campaigned for Kerry in 2004 (Photo Credit: Getty Images)
WASHINGTON (CNN) - John Kerry, the Democratic Party's 2004 nominee for president, took aim at Bill Clinton Friday, telling the National Journal the former president does "not have a license to abuse the truth."
The Massachusetts senator, who endorsed Barack Obama's White House bid earlier this month, said Clinton's criticisms of the Illinois senator have been "over the top," and suggested the former president is getting "frantic."
Targeting Clinton's recent spate of attacks on Obama, Kerry said, "I think you had an abuse of the truth, is what happened. …I mean, being an ex-president does not give you license to abuse the truth, and I think that over the last days it's been over the top.
"I think it's very unfortunate, but I think the voters can see through that," Kerry added. "When somebody's coming on strong and they are growing, people get a little frantic, and I think people have seen this sort of franticness in the air, if you will."
The former president has faced criticism for aggressively interjecting himself into the race between his wife and Obama of late. On Monday, Obama said he feels as if he is running against both Clintons, a charge the New York senator’s campaign said was borne out of frustration. The former president himself later dismissed Obama's comments, saying “I thought he was running against me.”
Campaigning in South Carolina Friday, Obama said the Clinton campaign has stepped up its attacks since his Iowa win, and joked that it's good practice for him, so "when I take on those Republicans I'll be accustomed to it."
Kerry formally endorsed Obama on January 10, saying then that Obama "isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces."
The endorsement was seen as a blow to both John Edwards - Kerry's running mate in 2004 - and both Hillary and Bill Clinton, who had campaigned on behalf of Kerry's presidential bid.

Go figure ! For once this Conservative not only agrees with John Kerry, but admires his chutzpah for saying what he has. More and more wwe are hearing that the "King has no clothes". Wake up America !
This guy is a patriot. It takes a big man to come out and stand tough against the Clinton's. Lets see if they attack him now....
John kerry, are you still Swift Boating or does that Chin come with a Strap?
Clinton really need to take it easy.
I know hillary has been put through the grinder by the right wing smear machine, and I symaphize for her. She has gone through more public mud slinging that anybody I have ever heard of, but...
you need to chill Bubba, I am sick of these Repulican style attacks.
thats right kerry tell it like it is....." i did not have sexual relations with that woman" hmmm i dont believe a word that power hungry couple ever say, if their lips are moving they are lying!
The more theClinton's chose to go negative the more they hurt their own party in the general election.
Do we realy want to elect a President who views negative campaigning as "fun"? Who sees it as "Contact Sport". Bush and Karl Rove played this contact sport very well and look what we got!
Did anyone else notice the big smile on Hillary's face after she made her negative attacks on Obama during the last debate? Do we realy want this sort of person to be our leader.
Before you Clintonistas start attacking John Kerry as a sore loser- remember that Kerry received more votes in 2004 than Bill Clinton was ever able to in his two plurality wins of '92 and '96.
I notice the Obama apologists consistently claim the Clintons are distorting or "abusing" the truth - without addressing the question: In what way?
Strange.
NICE GOING JOHN KERRY--GOOD CHOICE!
John Kerry is a looser...his words mean nothing
Look who's talking... Kerry-the democratic loser of 2004!
I guess John Kerry is still upset he lost the last round.
As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz.
Tell Obama how to win Kerry!
Sen. Kerry became irrelevant to the Democratic party in particular and the whole country in general three plus years ago. Only the comedic world cared after 1984 for any length of time.
He should stick to what he does best: putting his fellow legislators to sleep.
Kerry's endorsement means nothing.
to liberals everywhere, his loss is still fresh in mind.
it seems as if he's just trying not to be forgotten.
Thanks to you, honorable man, for being part of the truth squad and injecting something moral and ethical into this Clinton slimefest. You're bravery to speak out against these Rovian political tactics is greatly appreciated, and you (once again) have served your country well. Too bad they Clintons haven't taken any notes or learned anything from anyone with all their "experience" in Washington.
I guess John Kerry is still upset he lost the last round.
Will someone at cnn give us a break like I care what kerry has to say tthe only change the old dogs want are the ones thier trying to put in place Obama will be easy to handle compared to Hillary Go Hillary
Right on Kerry.
I once had great respect for Bill. Now, I am disgusted by the sight of him. He will sacrifice his, legacy, and the American people just so that he and Hillary can monopolize the White House. Bill you are a Lying, Cheating, Shame to all Americans and your party. Good job Kerry, its about time someone stood up to this hypocrite. Bill and Hill wont get my vote. I'd rather vote Republican just so that you dont get the White House. Greed, the root of evil!
John kerry deserved to to be a big loser. He was a crying baby like Obama. A loser is always a loser.
I am so sick of this you need to know what the people want we want Hillary and
Barack to stop fussing and then maybe 1 could be president and 1 could be vice president.That would be so wonderful..................
Yes, all you leaders who care about the democratic party this is your time/chance to save this historic moment that will meanso much party and to all the Americans. John Kerry thank you
The DNC should ban Bill Clinton from abusing his power as a former president and misleading others to vote for his wife. Again old political tactic. Why can't Clinton's run a positive campaign? Goes to show what type of president she will be. Full off deceit and lies for another 4 years.
This coming from Mr. FlipFlop himself
HEY KERRY,
WHY DO YOU CONTINUE THE SPIN...ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
BOTH CAMPAIGNS HAVE BACK DOWN..SO WHY DONT YOU...
OR DOES OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAVE YOU SPEAKING DISCREETLY ON THEIR BEHALF?
OBAMA...KERRY...LET IT GO LET IT GO...ENOUGH
Kerry is a loser....whose flip-flopping on the war exposed him as the spineless jellyfish we all know he is.
Funny how John Edwards was good enough to be his running mate in 2004... and good enough to become President if Kerry were elected and then something happen to him....but now....Edwards isn't "good enough" to beat out an inexperienced 1st term Senator with no foriegn experience.
Not to mention....asking the Clintons to support his Presidential bid in 2004... but now not willing to return the favor.
If John Kerry endorses Barack Obama.....I see that as a CLEAR INDICATION that Barack Obama IS NOT the right man for the job.
John Kerry should be quiet. He made an unsuccessful bid for president. Nobody cares about his endorsement of Obama except to note that is showed complete tactlessness. If he could not endorse his former running mate he shouldn't have endorsed anyone. Now he is going to attack the Clintons??? He should stay out of this one before he does more damage.....what a sore loser.
Barack is really the only one who is best qualified to unite country and get things done for the country because he does not have the negative history that the Clintons have. This country can not afford 4 years of gridlock with Hillary Let's get to work with Obama in '08. He can make it happen.
Finally some gumption! Tell that rediculous power tripping socialist couple to shutittt because everyone is sick of their antics.
Kerry is an idiot too. All these people need to just shut up!
This isn't good for Obama at all. Kerry is not someone you want to be front and center at any part of your campaign.
Senator Kerry ..I dont really admire you but what you said is so right.
Amen John! Thank you.
As if anyone cares what John Kerry thinks.
Sounds more like Kerry running to Obama's defense to try to sheild him from the big bad Clintons.
The more these men come out against the Hillary the more tough she looks to me and the weaker Obama looks.
Kerry 's a fine one to talk about abusing the truth .He blew the 2004 election !!!
You talk about a LOOSER .And a Obama backer.Kerry know Hillary has a better chance of winning than he did in 2004 and he can't stand it .
He's right about Clinton, but the same could be said about Obama who has too many ties to corrupt interests like Tony Rezko, no matter how he tries to lie his way out of it. Last night it was all exposed.
Thing of it is, John Kerry is guilty of this too, he lied to displaced tech workers in '04, and all the while, Kerry owns more stock in outsourcers like Microsoft than any other member of congress, republican or democrat. He made profits from voting to give Bill Gates more visas for foreign workers, knowing full well that there was never a worker shortage in the US. He's scum in my eyes and I voted for him in '04.
I will never vote for either Clinton or Obama, I'm voting for Edwards.
The democrats just can't resists the temptation to snipe at one another.
Gee, what a surprise that Kerry who backs Obama is speaking out against Clinton.
Kerry is 100% correct. The Clintons are losing their minds. It's disgusting that an ex-president would abuse his power by outright lying about a fellow democrat's positions and statements.
CNN and the other channels – all of you need to take the word "NEWS" out of your titles. None of you report News – you have a select group of self absorbed announcers that go through a mindless exercise you report as interviews with a bunch of has beens that you dig up from the coffers and throw the entire country into a tizzy.
Hillary '08 and '12
Finally the truth comes out...
Bill is lying and that is why many democrats worried about. He and his wife are't helping democrats to win the white house in 2008. They are smart but disshonest.
So, what is new? Bill Clinton "abused the truth" for his whole eight year term. Why is Kerry making a stink about it now? Why wasn't Kerry standing up for what is right when he had the chance several years ago?
I think we would all do good to remember that Former pres. Clinton has a habit of spinning the truth "I did not have sex with that woman" not that long ago we had to decide that he really didn't know how to tell the whole truth. Many forget that the problems in this nation did not start in 2001 when Bush took office he (Bush) inherited many of the problems neglected and brought forth by the Clinton administration. Bush choice to ignore many domestic problems and therefore only let them breed. Do we really want another president who will ignore local issues.
A president with the lowest approval rating in memory; A notoriously unpopular war; an economy in the tank and the Democrats will still find a way to lose this election with their infighting. Please, for the sake of us Democrats waiting for a sign that you morons will get your act together, try to save this election. Makes me sick to listen to any more of this. I will certainly go to the polls and vote but I may vote for another party. Guess which one. Yep, McCain is looking pretty good!!!
Here we go again. Obama and Clinton finally yesterday calmed down on the attacks, and now we have Kerry starting it up again! These are typical Obama tactics to start another round of fighting. Clinton shouldn't take the bait.
Somebody ought to tell Kerry that all of this, the candidates put behind them when they pulled their respective ads. I understand that he's dreaming of that job as the Secretary of Defense in an Obama administration, but the Clintons didn't rain on his parade when he had one, he ought to just not remind us Democrats too much of the loser he was. The guy suddenly found his guts now in another's campaign. What makes him think that we Democrats like him more than we do Bill Clinton. All that we see, hear and smell when the name John Kerry comes up, is how he chickened out in challenging Ohio during the last election.
Great that the coward has finally found his voice, but it is three years too late. John Kerry, disappear!
and again why are we still talking about Bill Clinton. can we stick to only the candidates CNN and the real issues. This is getting ridiculous. CNN= Clinton Negative News.
Amen.
Any one who won't admit that it is an unfair advantage to have a beloved former president playing with the truth 24/7, is not being honest.
The extra media coverage alone is unfair.
If we count the number of stories on CNN about him (only related to his wife's candidacy) versus Michelle Obama or Elizabeth Edwards, my total for the week is 7 , 1, 0.
Where is the impartiality?
Oprah may endorse Obama, but she is not campaigning 24/7. The former president's influence is more potent than his wife's.
I predict she, NOT OBAMA will win SC because of her husband.
When a president talks, people listen.
Kerry , you look ridiculous to say that.
I am gonna have to agree. I grew up admiring Bill Clinton. I Went to college through the years when the Politically Correct was stampeding through the halls of the ivory tower, but at this moment in history, I would really rather not see cloying efforts to hold power against what even a hero of mine should see is in the best interests of this country. I have profound respect for the candidates of both parties but we need to unite the whole country not divide even the parties.
Ah yes, the man who himself couldn't stand up to the Swift Boat people, did such a poor job of letting the rest of the candidates sweep him under the carpet, now,
he's a turncoat to the very people that "almost" got him the Presidency, and is now an expert on who and what should be done to win.
Thanks Mr. Loser, hindsight is 20/20, and you and your millions can back the only one of the 2004 campaign, and turn your back on the ones who support you.
You and McCain should trade parties, whoops..........you already have joined their league.
If you'd "gone over the edge, just a little bit, you might be President today yourself!
John Kerry is just bitter because his presidential bid fell apart. What is Obama offering him to be his attack dog? Anyone know?
BREAKING NEWS - Dennis Kucinich has dropped out of the race. Oh, wait. That doesn't have anything to do with Bill Clinton. Guess it won't be reported.
Oh, please! Kerry is just showing sour grapes. I just wish all Democratic sides would concentrate on the issues and not give the Rethugs ammo for the main election.
Wait a Clinton lied? How is that news? Now if they were saying Bill was found to be telling the truth that that would be front page news.
how can we trust what someone who lied in front of a grand jury . I guess it depends on what the definition of is 'is".
Jim in Orlando and Kerry need to go drink salt water...I am not sure what you called attcks...what is abusing the truth...until he (Kerry) can explain it...his comments are silly. You all are crying with Obama because his empty words of hope is now catching up with him. Clinton campaigned for Kerry in 2004.
Come on people, wake-up, Hillary is in it because she wants to go down in history as the first Lady President of the USA. Not because the cares about mainstream America. She has been in politics all her life and has not done anything outstanding for the people. This is about her and not us, us the people of this country.
It's really sad that CNN would not post my blog!!!! It is all based on facts about the Clintons.
why don't all these people shut up and let the voters speak...yes that's right media,surrogates and all!!! just report objective news and stop telling us what is right or not...we don't need you to decide for us what is right or wrong!!!!
Tell 'em Kerry!
This man knows these people personally. Far better than most voters. Says what most of us know. Lets get past this & move on to a better country with a leader that isn't so divisive.
Kerry is a loser. Maybe he should have stood up to Bush, the Republicans and the Swift Boaters. Maybe then his opinion would matter.
Why can't CNN do stories on how Obama is attacking Hillary Clinton? Obama isn't innocent! CNN makes Clinton look bad all the time. Has CNN endorsed Obama? because it sure seems like it.
Kerry just go away. Take care of your chin
kerry, should really stand by his guns, that's one of the reason why you possbile did not win he election. Hillary is Clinton's blood defend your blood. he would be less of a man if he did not defend his wife. Kerry talk peace or back off. Hillary stood up for you , if you can't say good leave it alone. I believe both Hillary and Obahma are going to be the two candidates ,president & vice president, where do do you stand then. Becareful your words come back to arm you.
Just an example, a parent gets involved in a child's realtionship and then the child and your spouse get back together, how you think that parent feel. Be careful kerry...
Well said, Kerry! Those of us who have been in the country know that a chicken squawks the loudest when they're about to lay a big egg...
I've lost a lot of respect for both Clintons, but especially for Bill.
Bill clinton is stating the facts!
You really want to match up Kerry with Bill as your surrogate defense.
Ouch ok but make sure he doesn't go windsurfing and has a good script.
Although you couldn't find a better person to singlemindedly blather about something than kerry. I mean that's what he did about the war for all of 2004 rather than remembering "It's the economy".
Kerry needs to go back into wherever it is that he has been quiet from. Who cares what he thinks. His opinion matters to no one. Hey, maybe if he keeps it up, he will lose his senate seat.
Hillary 08
Kerry? Har! Har! Here comes the Obama hate squad.
The Clinton's campaign mantra of the truth is what I say it is continues to ooze out unabated.
How can you take anything they say seriously, their credibality is zero.
A presidential election between, say, McCain and Obama - both positive and honorable candidates - would be better for the country. A race between McCain and Clinton would be better for the Republicans.
I just read today about Michelle Obama going out and sumping for her HUSBAND. Ain't that about nutt'in, they complain about bill and the whole time Mama Obama is out on the trail for her beloved hubby. How on earth does this differ from Bill stumping for his wife? Get real with this Obama freaks. The problem teh Obama camp has with Bill is that they know what the rest of the country/world knows, Bill Clinton is without a doubt the best politcal campaigner we have ever had the good furtune to witness. I would probaly be a whinny baby to if I had to go up against he best there is knowing that I am a wet behind the ears rookie. You go Bill!! Obama and friends, get over it the Clinton machine is fixin' to chew y'all up
John Kerry you had your day in the sun.You are a loser ,you did not get elected an I think that you would hate to see Hillary be come President or any other woman,weather Democrat or Republican.Just goes to show what kind of graditute you have for people,that helped you!
Kerry is just ticked because he backed Obama as a swipe at Edwards, Now that Hillary is winning states and continuing to rise in the polls, and Obama's not looking too good, Kerry comes in and accuses Bill Clinton of "abusing the truth". What the heck does that mean? Does he mean, Bill's lying? I haven't heard Bill lie or go "over the top" in his efforts to campaign on behalf of his wife. I will say though, Kerry has first-hand knowledge of a spouse going over the top. His wife caused all kinds of uproars for REALLY going over the top during his campaign.
I wonder who's ...... he borrowed, he sure didn't have any during his campaign. If Obama can't handle the pressure of an election how in the world could he handle being President?
Kerry should talk. If ever there was a hypocrite, he is one.
Kerry needs tp shut his mouth. Nothing that comes out of his mouth has any weight. He betrayed his own running mate by endorsing Obama. What has he done to his country that comes anywhere near what Clintons have done for this country so far. He will go wherever wind blows. No one can abuse truth. Truth is truth. So take it when it comes from the Clintons.
He abused and betrayed Edwards. So shut up, sit in the cornor and eat some Ketchup.
The REALLY sad part of Bills ( I used to admire him) recent exposure as a "desperate do anything to get back to the white house co-runner for president" He TOTALLY BLEW his image to the rest of the world when no matter WHO won the white house he could have done TONS of good internationally to repair our image that Bush has ruined. Now he looks just like one of them.
Pitiful.
Kerry formally endorsed Obama on January 10, saying then that Obama "isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces."
"Together" says Kerry? Does he think Obama would put him on the ticket? Kerry has proven he can't win nationally. The presidency was served to him on a silver platter in 2004 and he still managed to muddle it up. What a loser! Please go away already.
CNN is abusing the truth by saying Kerry SLAMS Clinton, and Kerry BLASTS Clinton. All he did was criticize him, give me a break, it's a common practice in politics, I think CNN is being over the top with their adjectives.
What a complete collection of losers. Is it any wonder why there has been only 2 dem administrations since the '60's?
This country is in a nose dive, we need a young President like Sen. Obama that is in it for the long haul. A new face in Washington, fresh blood, new perspective, different direction and real action. Support Obama!
Who is Gore going to support? I heard that he has distanced himself from the Clintons, and there is no love between them. And I believe he has the power to really sway the vote.
January 25, 2008 12:26 pm ET
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
At one of Bill Clinton's appearances in SC on Wednesday, an elderly black man stood up and said "black people are voting for Obama because he's black. But he can't win and he will make sure the Republicans win in November." Clinton showed "concern" while a few others nodded.
After it was over, reporters tried to get the man's name. He refused to identify himself and left with his BODYGUARD! Now, tell me. How many people attend town hall meetings with bodyguards, especially elderly black men in SC? This guy was a plant by the Clinton campaign used to continue to play the race issue.
The thought of BILL CLINTON walking around the white house with nothing to do
Tell Kerry to back off, he lost one election for us, now he is trying to lose this one too.
John Kerry makes me so mad. What is wrong with him? As a democrat I feel as if people like Kerry are poorly representing the values of being a democrat.
Working together? Whatever happened to that?
He should be ashamed of himself for what he has done to John Edwards and for causing such a brew ha ha in the democratic party.
Obama – he's not doing you any favors.
Bill Clinton – you need to be quiet.
Men!
Is John Kerry even relevant anymore? Kerry, remember when the Clintons supported your candidacy despite the fact that nobody liked you?
It's high time someone stood up to Bill's lies!!! .......and think he was once a president I liked makes me sick. He's true color stinks. well for Bill it depends on what "is" is. Tell it like it is John. The Clintons think they are untouchable.
Seems to me that John Kerry has no loyalty at all to his friends and those who campaigned for him when he was running for President. Just because he lost he seems to make sure his friends does not make it.
Go Boll and Hillary !!!! Its to bad that you can not handle the truth and when it is said that you roll into a ball like a child and say wawawawawa!! I wish American would get some back bone gesssss! what is wrong for us to know the truth about all the persons running for office ? do you think that some are saints and have no faults and that they do not have issues in there back grounds or are you all the naive why dont you go fire a round at Obama!! Kerry ! oh thats right we do not know what you did in vietnam ??? and if you would not have made you race negative when you ran for president you might be in the white house today !!!
Kerry, what did he ever win. Like Clinton would take advise from a luzer. Kerry woudln't know the first thing about acting Presidential. What a FLIP-FLOP.
Kerry lost the elections to an idiot. He needs to stop telling people who to support. I do not hear anybody telling Michelle Obama or Elizabeth Edwards to stop supporting their spauses. Bill just happens to be Hillary's husband. Whose side would you want him to be?. Stop the cracy talks about Bill and let him support his wife. She is the only one with experience and the interlect to be the leader of the free world, especially after the 8 idiotic years.
Kerry needs to put a sock in it. We're threw with him...thankfully.
Oh... poor Kerry... who cares about what you say.?.. You couldnt even beat the worst president of our history. You must be worse than the worst.
Shut up John, go back to sleep – you ain't no Bill Clinton.
I began this campaign with a resevoir of respect for th ex- president.
That resevoir has dried up.
It is clear that the Clinton's want to win. But more and more it seems they want to win for them, not for us.
I will vot McCain or stay home if Hillary gets the nomination.
Voting for her, rewarding her for the campaign tactics that she has used...
would leave me absolutely sick.
My vote is worth more than that to me.
A woman would be nice. But not just any woman will do.
And Hillary, that woman aint you!
Obama, Edwards, McCain, Paul...anbody but the Clintons.
This is coming from a life long Democrat. I have NEVER voted for a Republican...EVER.
But the "times, they are a changin"
Kerry is nothing to me. I admire Clintons a lot. She will win the nomination of the Democratic candidate for the US President. Can't wait to see her becoming the first US Woman president.
It's good to see that the infighting in the Democratic Party won't be a factor in the 2008 presidential election. Anyone other Dems want to jump into this fight?
It's high time someone stood up to Bill's lies!!! .......and to think he was once a president I liked makes me sick. He's true color stinks. well for Bill it depends on what "is" is. Tell it like it is John. The Clintons think they are untouchable.
Clinton has lost my support forever.
I sincerely hope people see through the Clinton dirty tricks and Obama gets the nomination.
I always vote democrat, but if Billary gets the nod, I will vote for ANYONE else.
So if Hillary didn't have Bill Clinton, would she still even be a contender in this race?
The only real record she has to run on is she was married to a president. Plus with Bill on the news every day as if he was running for President, it shows me they don't feel she could have pulled this off on her own without him.
I don't recall Margaret Thatcher needing her husband to win, she won on her own. I'd like to elect the first woman president based on what she would do on her own, not on the simple fact that we like her husband.
Senator Kerry, what President Clinton is doing now, answering allegations and speaking the truth is what you should have been doing when you ran for office in 2004. You kept quiet about the "swiftboat", no guts to stand up against the Republicans' attacks which we all know cost you & Senator Edwards the election.....YOU WASTED MY VOTE FOR YOU IN 2004!!!!!
Does Obama really think having Kerry go after Clinton is a good idea? Kerry is a tool and is just going to bring Obama down if people have to choose clinton vs kerry they will chose clinton everytime.
What little respect for Bill Clinton that I have , is now gone. He and his wife have turned the state of SC into a racial frenzy. While they repeatedly that race is not an issue, Bill uses it every chance he gets. The plan to polarize the "black" and "white" voters has seemed to work, and I think it is the most disgusting thing I have seen (politically). They want the Black community to believe that they have our best interest at heart, when in fact they are political hounds with no interest for us , nor white voters for that matter.
I find it ironic that former President Clinton, after heart surgery, got out of his sick bed to go and campaign for this guy when Kerry was struggling to hold it together. Thanks John Kerry, I'm sure Hillary appreciates your endorsement of Barack Obama.
Wow! How many Democrats have come out and said that Hill/Billy is using lies, lies and more lies in their campaign. The list keeps growing and growing.
Hey Bill – don't you have a date with a blue dress right about now?
I'm getting to like John Kerry a little more every day. Too bad we saw so little of his feistier side in 2004. The Clintons' antics in recent days may cost them dearly.
Kerry will say just about anything to knock Bill Clinton. Kerry wants to be the "leader" of the democratic party that he will do and say anything. We can all see what kind of a "leader" he was during the last election cycle. Kerry need to find a rock, climb under it and stay there!
Canada is watching the election down there. From our standpoint Hilary Clinton seems to have a sense of entitlement to the White House. Hence the frantic unfair campaign tactics by her and her husband.
The Clintons have had their day. He left in disgrace. Obama offers a fresh approach to the Iraq mess and domestic policy..especially health care for all.
wow... Mr. "I will not fight back" is critizing somebody who does...... hahahahaha
BTW: this line is coming out of ALL of Obama's "supporters"as of late:
"...being an ex-president does not give you licence to abuse the truth..."
campaign soundbite!!!??????
I am so tired of the double standards in politics. The Obama camp can throw as much mud as it wants and the media throws him a bone, but when Hillary Clinton states things that differentiates herself from Obama it is considered attacking. This is ludicrous and the Obama supporters are just trying to help Obam a win instead of helping the American people.
John Kerry lost to George W. Bush because John Kerry did not know how to fight the reactionary spin machine, now he is aiding the reactionaries by supporting Obama. This is not fair. I hope South Carolinians can see this.
So he's telling Clinton to do what he did last time.....
Did he forget that he lost with that tactic?
I agree Kerry. I use to respect Bill Clinton. However, now that he has attacked Obama for reasons he feel are truthful the respect has gone out the window. However, if Obama our future President resulted to this type of slander Bill it would only take a couple of words to slam you and Hillary. I believe Obama's wife said it, " Mrs Clinton can't take care of her own household". Let's start there. Well, Obama chooses not to result to these type of tactics. Bill just sit down and chill. Stop trying to get back into the white house you've had your 8yrs let your wife finish making a mess of this campaign. I hope our American people take a look at the issues. Watch as each candidate speaks. Obama speaks from his heart and not once have I seen him looking down and reading a speech. Hillary try to keep your eyes on the people. Learn something from Obama.
Hey Kerry isnt't that calling the kettle black. Give me a break-All you people on Capital Hill-all you guys is bully each other...and lie about each other. I am not a Clinton Fan...but, i am not a fan of yours either...Practice what you preach.
Kerry ran the most ineffective and useless campaign in 2004,kept completely silent when he was being swift boated.Now he gets up and attacks Bill Clinton the only successful democratic president in decades.Incapable sore loosers should know to keep their big mouths shut when it is not their turn.
Bill Clinton is justified in advocating for his wife and comparing the records with her all talk no action rival.
Who the heck is running here anyway? Bill or Hill?
like anyone cares what John Kerry thinks...go home idiot and shut up !
For the 1st time, lets elect an honest, intelligent and smart president in this country. I'm sick and tired of the Power drunk Clintons.
As an African American I would like to respond to Ben from Columbus. Tell me what the Clinton's have done for blacks?? And don't tell me create jobs because the internet bubble did that. All Billary is trying to do is drive a wedge between blacks. The old v. the new. They keep this race thing going trying to convince white voters that we are only voting for Obama because he is black. Yeah I see what Bill's done for us. He's forcing us away from a viable candidate because he's our color. He's trying to convince us that.....just maybe our opinion is wrong and not factually based. I do know one thing he will do if he hasn't already done it and that is divide the black community and the democratic party.
Go Kerry way to speak the truth. Sit down and shut-up Bill.
Ben, we as african-americans need to quit expecting candidates to do something for us. DO FOR YOURSELF. I can't remember anything that the Clinton's have done for AA except use us. AA need to get off the CLINTON PLANTATION.
Personally Kerry is a back stabber – He should keep his mouth shut. If he could not endorse his own running mate – He should not have endorsed anyone. Really it is his fault we are where we are. He could not win! What makes him think he can help!
Go sit down JK, who cares what your turncoat self has to say! Is the master plan BO/JK for the White House. When all seems peaceful here comes one of BO's people starting the war all over again, why do you think that is happening?
I voted for Kerry in the last election, but like Republican and Democratic Candidates have said on other issues, "I have had some poor judgements in the past, I should be able to change my mind when I see my judgements were poor." I don't know why anyone would want John Kerry's endorsement. I put him in Spam a long time ago. I wonder how many others send John Kerry's emails directly to Spam.
A losser won't help Obama in any aspects.
John Kerry has no credibility to talk about anyone. If it were not for his incompetant campaign and him talking all over himself 4 years ago, George W. Bush would not be president today. Bill Clinton is not abusing truth, but John Kerry abused the morale of our troops when he denegrated them by saying they were high school dropouts.
Ben, Columbus, Ohio -
I keep hearing that all over the place, the "at least the clinton's have actually done something for African Americans". Could you please enlighten me as to what a few of those things are. Thanks in advance.
Bill's just standing by his woman? And blabbering a lot at the same time. Why not let her go it alone, stand on her own, let her make or break it alone?
Kerry is just a big loser. Its fair to say that no truth was abused by Bill Clinton. Can anybody bring up facts about Obama without abusing the truth. I think What Kerry said about Bill could be said about Obama too. There was some abuse of truth by Obama and always have been. If Obama don't want Bill Clinton to say things about his record, than he sould not say anything about Bill's record.
Abusing the truth...i.e. a LIAR! For the sake of this country, Obama needs to win this nomination. I won't be able to stand a 2008 full Bill and Hillary "abusing the truth", and hopefully I won't have to put up with it for 2009-2012....
Kerry is washed up...disliked and should just shut up and go away....he lied more than any presidential candidate in a long while.
It appears to me that Obama wants it both ways. He has attacked the Clinton White House in recent days – essentially attacking Hillary by focusing on the negatives of the Bill Clinton years. By attacking Bill, he opened the door to strong rebuttals and hardball by Bill. Barack continually appears naive to the reality of today's winner take all political world. That is admirable in some ways but whining about it is not.
p.s. – I agree with all former comments on John Kerry!
Hillary needs to run on her own steam, and Bill needs to cool it! If Hillary is going to be the first woman president of the U.S., we need to see that it can be done on her merits, and not just that she's the wife of an ex-president. How many other worthy women are going to be able to come up with that dubious "qualification"? I would be thrilled to see a woman in the White House one day–but I'm favoring Barack Obama at this point because he seems to have some real integrity. We could all use some integrity after these past 8 years, yes?! It's not about gender or race.
You got to love John Kerry attacking the guy who just had heart surgery in 2004 and took his frail and weak body out on the campaign trail right before the election to try and help him out. I am convinced if Bill Clinton didn't need that surgery, John Kerry would be the President today. Now if Obama happens to win the nomination, who do you think he is going to have out there campaigning for him?
While I have no love for Romney but he said it all last night "imagine Bill Clinton in the white house with nothing to do"? If this isn't enough of a nightmare for anyone I wonder what is.
I believe the democrats have thrown away the election because the damage has already been done. Clinton will get his victory at the nomination but the republicans wil have a field day running against a fractured democratic party and a scandal ridden Clinton family. Already the Tony Rezko picture with the Clintons is in circulation and who knows what Tony was doing at the white house that has not yet been revealed by those circulating the pictures.
I praise Kerry for his courage, other concerned democrats need to think about the future of their party because not only will the Clintons cost them the white house the will inflict significant damage on the party that will last beyond the election. Talk about a dysfunctional family.
I was a huge Kerry supporter in 2004, but if you can't defeat one of the 3 worst Presidents in our history, you become irrelevant. It's funny how the media treated his endorsement of Obama as a big deal. I think t actually hurts Obama, because many Democrats are still bitter about how Kerry could have blown the election. Makes me even more wary of Barack Hussein.
Can't the American people, especially Mr. Clinton, respond without being so nasty, and the lies what a joke, especially his comments. I never agree with John Kerry, but in this matter he is right on. Lets have discussions about the present, instead of going back, to be negative about someone is difinately not helpful to any American, that is why our country is in such a mess. Our country is never going to come back unless we start being positive about all people and work together and not constantly divide.....
As a Black Man, I don't care what the Clintons have done for us, that does not give you the right to turn this into a Race War. Like I have heard many people say "I am not racist" Yeah until you date their daughters. The Clintons loved the blacks while they are not a threat to them. Now, they could care less. That is unless you are fool enough to vote for them.
I Challenge every Dem to stand up and say, If Hillary gets the vote I am taking my vote elsewhere! Let's start to count, Who's coming with me (1)
at least kerry is a war hero who served this country, unlike some others who deserted the army!
Glad to hear from Mr John Kerry.
Bill/Hillary Clinton made US politics like in thirld world countries....
America is better off without Bill/Hillary Clinton! Change is a word and a change is a must!
Senator John Kerry may have lost the 2004 elections but at least he does not pretend to love the black community but when it matter most because of personal ambition that is at stake start throwing punches and reminding Americans on the race identity of his opponent.
Kerry didn't overstate the fact.
What anyone view is, the Democratic party might not be able to come out of this without some scratches. I hope they would be able to mend the crack as the party stands polarised today. The Republic have a better chance again because voters can see through the lies of cheap blackmail and nothing suggest that this tool of blackmail would not be employed later on towards American foriegn policy
What does Kerry know? He is a big-time loser. He lost in 2004. If I was Obama, I wouldn't be flattered that a guy who doesn't know how to beat George W. Bush was endorsing me. I think Kerry did Hillary Clinton a favor! Yep, Kerry's endorsement really makes me want to vote for Obama.
I wonder why John Kerry did not choose Obama on 2004 as his VP.
He is indulged in the looser's mind.
Vote for Hillary
John Kerry is completely correct in everything he says. Bill Clinton, and his wife, might as well go join the Republican Party. They belong there.
If Hillary Clinton will listen to John Kerry she is going to lose like him. John Kerry don't have a soapbox to stand on.
By him not endorsing his former runningmate says a lot about John Kerry. My biggest regret I voted for him during primary.
Kerry took a risk and endorsed Obama. Now he sees there is litle chance of Obama winning he's whining.. Give it up already..
The truth has been spoken! John Kerry KNOWS what being smeared looks and feels like.
Note: When democrats WERE so incredibly united in response to the last 8 years of Bush....the Clintons have accomplished what no one thought could be done...divide the democratic party. The Clintons may also "conquer" the nomination...but the general election will reflect to consequences of their dishonest campaign.
John Kerry used to be a Clinton supporter. Way to yet again change your support. John Kerry when have you been relevant in politics? When have you spear headed any significant bill. You are by far the worse example of entrenched philosophically dead representative this country as ever known and experienced. You lack the conviction to stay true to your friends or to your own party. You voting record is so inconsistant and illogical that i can only suspect it bends with the wind much like your fealty and your ability to alienate your past supporters has no equal. I hope you know that when Clinton wins, you will have a very short lifespan ahead of you in politics.
John Kerry's political clout is past its expiration date. And if He think's he's going to get somewhere by blasting the Democratic party's most powerful figure, then he's beyond repair.
Know what I find funny? People calling Kerry a loser. It's like the football team that makes it to the Superbowl and loses. Everyones like, "Ohhh you guys suck, you didn't win!"
But they made it all the way to the Superbowl didn't they?
John Kerry is just jealous of the Clinton's.
Whether Kerry is upset he lost the last round or not, he's still right: Bill Clinton has polarized Democratic voters, and I don't think they realize just how much damage is being done in the eyes of Democrats. There are Democrats who are actually talking like staying at home or voting for the Republican (if it's McCain or Romney) rather than voting for Hillary.......as if her pre-existing negatives weren't high enough, they go and make it worse!
During 2004 campaign Kerry wanted Michael Dukakis to go on hiding because he's a loser.
How ironic is that he's out in the open for Obama now.
Kerry should be out of the limelight if he really wants to help Obama.
This guy has negative energy packed all over.
Kerry is upset he could not run this time. He is a nothing. There is no one who has taken more abuse than Hillary from the republicans, the right, journalists; and she has stood up to it. Running the country will be easy for her after this. Hey what happened to Oprah?
PS Obama better cut you lose quick....cause having your support is an extra 10 pts for Hillary Clinton.
I'm glad someone is saying something. The Clinton's look desperate.
Well at least he served his country while Hillary an Bill were at WOODSTOCK , And BILL WAS A DRAFT DODGER . I respect JOHN KERRY more than I will ever Respect BILL CLINTON. AS A GULF war Veteran and also Bosnia. I can tell you BILL didnt care one bit about the Military. He is the biggest Liar that has ever slept in the WHITE House.
this is a man who know what is talking about and is right the Clitons need to shut up and wait for the result on 5th of february we are tired of the same story bill Clitons or Bushs there are not other people in American who can lead this country apart this to familys? Americans wake up... we need change and OBAMA is capable to produce that change.
G-O A-W-A-Y John Kerry. You had your moment in the spotlight and blew it. Let's move on from your failure and worry about accomplishing what you COULD NOT... getting a Democrat in the White House.
I keep hearing about tall the wonderful things the Clinton's have done for African Americans', can someone please tell me what they are? I am African American and I can't think of anything that they have done to benefit me.
truth squad:
"Before you Clintonistas start attacking John Kerry as a sore loser- remember that Kerry received more votes in 2004 than Bill Clinton was ever able to in his two plurality wins of '92 and '96."
Turnout was unprecedented in 2004. That had little to nothing to do with enthusiasm for Kerry's candidacy but rather disgust for Bush. And Kerry still screwed it up.
why does cnn keep censoring my comments. is it because I'm coming down too hard on CNN. well someone should be. you guys aren't sticking to the issues or the candidates and what matters the most in this election. why are we still talking about Bill Clinton or anything that John Kerry has to say. A former president and a failed presidential candidate. Are you guys serious can we stick to only the candidates CNN and the real issues. Hillary, Barack and John. Remember them?? This is getting ridiculous. CNN= Clinton Negative News.
Kerry: thanks for calling a spade (frantic – liar "Bill Clinton") a spade!
I agree with Ray, Mr. Kerry is still upset he lost. Get over it, Mr. Kerry, and let the talented Clintons lead the country.
Wow! Kerry is so bitter! Obama's campaign loves to attack but do not enjoy being attacked. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen! Kerry is a candidate who lost supporting another candidate who is not going to even get the nomination. Birds of a feather flock together. You go Bill, defend your wife against the mud slinging Obama machine!
So the timid loser of 2004 who crumbled under the Bushies-now disepenses advice to others. Maybe if he had had to undergo similarly tough question during his primary run the democrats would not have ended up with such a wimpy loser as their candidate-and would have actually won in 2004.
Tough campaigns now show which candidate can survive the coming general election-and Obama certainly nees some training now. His only election to date was a walkover since his opponent dropped out on sexual misconduct charges and was replaced by ALAN KEYNES.
Kerry is just a sour puss ! If Kerry is decent , he should have endorsed John Edwards . Kerry is acting on his self interest . His motives are revenge for being a loser . Bill have done alot of good for the country .
John Kerry is a LOSER! period. The only Democrats to win in 30 years are the Clintons, because they understand that in order to really help people, you have to be willing to fight. The Republicans have no shame, remember the swift boat campaign, or Max Cleland's loss, or the Willie Horton ad, or the playboy bunny ad in the Harold Ford campaign? If these liberal elite losers want to protect their precious Obama through the primary, then they are only going to set him up to become losers just like them. Personally, what I think is over the top, Mr. Kerry, is when you suggested that our troops were too stupid to be in college, or when you idly sat by while they tasered some poor guy just for asking a question.
There will be blacks, whites, and everyother goup staying home in november if hillary gets the nod; I would rather have romney.
90% of the comments on here say Kerry is sad because he lost. How original. I have a feeling that these commentors most likely supported him in 2004. Kerry actually just cares about his party and his country. Honestly, is Bill truly acting like an ex-president?
Bill needs to quit. Obama is really the only candidate who is best qualified to unite the country and get things done. Obama does not have the negative political history that the Clintons have of fighting with the Republicans. This country is in crisis and can not afford 4 years of gridlock and special interests with Hillary We, together, can change this country around with Obama.
He is realistic and upfront with America. He is a candidate we can trust. And we can trust that he has listened to us and will really work for us. And with increased bipartisan support, he can actually get the job done.
Excuse me; did anyone watch the debate in S. Carolina? It was Obama who came out attacking Hillary. It was Obama who made the stereotypical joke about "dancing". It was Obama who called Edwards the "white candidate". It was the Obama supporters who played the race card and he OK'd pushing the subject. He admitted this himself! It was Obama who attacked Hillary about her sitting on the board of Wal-Mart. Do you expect Hillary to sit and take this kind of rhetoric? The media is so pro-Obama it is ridiculous. Maybe that is why Obama's support among white Dems is fading. He is gotten a free ride from the media and made racial statements that only a black or half-black can get away with.
Kerry...let's see...he's the one who wouldn't stand up to the Bushies' lies about his service and lost the election. He's the one the American public just doesn't get. He is irrelevant to say the least.
looks like Kerry has more balls during Obama's campaigne than he did during his own campaigne. get a life Kerry
"Abuse the truth" if there is nothing to hide why fear the truth! The truth is that we have a sorry group of politicians (from both parties) running for President. Again I don't think we will have anybody that will be worth voting for we will just have to vote for the one who will screw up America the least
James from Houston: your comment about swiftboating just encourages more lies and campaign smears... go out and seek the truth for yourself for a change. The liers (Clintons, Bush, etc) rely on people like you to not question the bull dished out in the 'media.' Did you know that the federal election commission fined the Swift Boat Group $330,000 for these ads which were proved completely false with proper fact-checking? That didn't get any coverage, did it? The neocon's bank account, Mr. Bob Perry, who bankrolled the Swift Boat Ads, is at it again, backing Mitt Romney. If you don't want God knows how many more years of imperial foreign policy, I'd stay away from voting for him. He's Karl von Rove's boy, just follow the money.
Smearing isn't partisan or the sole skill of one party or one candidate. Take some time to seek the truth from the lies. Do some research find out who the candidates are planning to put in their cabinet positions - this will reveal precisely what the candidates policies are based on the past work and affliations of these people. Eight years of Bush and we got eight years of neocons. Who saw it coming? I don't think even Bush did, that pin-head.
ADVISE FROM A LOSER ... Why don't you be specific Kerry??? WHERE'S THE BEEF??
I'm with you Dez. (2)
Kerry...If you did not notice, both Obama and Hillary were trying to calm it down a little. You putting statements like this out dont help.
The Clintons' remind me of "Snake Oil" salemen at the county fair. They will say and do anything to close the deal. I hope the voters can see through the charade
and not buy into the Clinton power machine. Do you honestly think the Clintons'
will care about you after you cast your vote. WAKE UP AMERICA!
Yaay ... Kerry for VP
GOD SAVE US ALL!!
"isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces."
John Kerry is so much about sour grapes. Hillary Clinton got both the New York Times and Kansas City Star endorsements ... and he can't deal with it. And why doesn't he think Obama can handle this on his own?
This just goes to show what a loser Kerry really is. The 2004 election was a choice between the lesser of two evils. At the time I that Kerry was and voted for him. Today I am glad the dead beat Kerry lost to bush, despite Bush's short comings.
Yes, this is the truth. I see many people here instead of discussing if what he said is true or not turn agains him. This is typical to what the Clintons will do. No surprise they support them.
Kerry lost his bid for President and now he's supporting Obama and criticizing Clinton. Mmmmmmm.......Is Obama getting desperate?
Why isn't CNN reporting that today the Clinton campaign is coming out and urging Michigan and Florida delegates to be seated??? So much for her pledge!!!!! What an underhanded strategy, to encourage the other candidates not to put their names on the ballot or campaign, then to go fund-raising and put her name on the ballot......and then seek those delegates after the damage is done!!!
Disgusting. Show the truth, CNN. If Hillary can't be trusted to keep her own pledge, how can she be trusted with the presidency?
Seems to me that John Kerry was the last Democrat to LOSE the presidency, while Bill Clinton was the last Democrat to WIN the Presidency (twice).
John, didn't agree with you in '04 but I'm glad to see you on the right side now. Another person who really knows the Clintons and speaks out against them. Gotta love that!
Hmmmmm wonder how many other people there are out there that are too afraid of that big ole political machine that won't speak out.
Look out below......another wheel just came off that machine.
Your right Leonor! Change is a word, just a word! With Obama, it is a word with no action. With Hillary, the word change actually means something.
Mr. Kerry, I think it's called lying, at least where I'm from. I guess the term "abuse of the truth" is something like the term "undocumented alien."
apparently if you criticize the media your comments don't get posted.
Expect more 'Flying Lying Hidden Dragon' tales from the Clintons. They look old and tired. They are fighting for their life….. They don’t give one hell about the American people, they want back in the big house.
They have the whole family out campaigning against ONE man..... LOL!!!! I'm surprised they haven't put their pet dog on the campaign march to no where...
i never was a clinton fan. nor am i now. but kerry basically sold out on both his former running mate, as well as his values which were well documented in the past election. something about being a stool pigeon when one is too scared to be a soldier. very befitting for this fraud.
I volunteered for John Kerry during his presidential campaign. I am very disappointed in him for his statements. I respect both canidates and I think it is fair to question each side on their records, statements, and actions. While this has become a rather negative campaign, I do not think it is one sided. Mr. Obama has said some very negative things about Mrs. Clinton, but the media does not emphasize them. John Kerry has not attacked Mr. Obama for these statements either. I heard Mr. Obama's statements and it appears that he was attempting, in part, to discredit President Clinton's job performance. I think it is fair to challenge this. Moreover, he did vote to fund the war, but continues to attack Mrs. Clinton for voting for to give Bush the authority to take action, if needed. It is fair to point this out.
My point is, both sides have engaged in negative campaigning. I think it is disappointing that John Kerry only comment on the actions of one side.
I was disappointed to see your comments about the Clintons. I thought you would have recognized by now that we did great in the 90's and need that experience to carry us to a CHANGE to those policies that would help us succeed again.
Ruth in Lincoln, Nebraska
What exactly have the Clintons done for Black Americans?
John Kerry can say anything to get Obama elected. There is no doubt, what John Kerry have done to African-American community? Atleast,Bill Clinton is recognised as the first 'Black President'. Remember, John Kerry lost in 2004 election.He is still upset about the past.
What is the Fuss. If Obama cannot stand what appears to be fair game? Can he stand world pressure?
G, get use to this folks..
Would you stand low and have your woman beaten?
Obama has nerver admitted doing anything wrong, there appears to be always a good explaination..Watch the keeping them honest 360 and you will see for your self that Obama was not truthful about his ties to the lobbiest..
He better be ready for the steam...and the attacks from the Republicans.
Go figure.
Kerry please do not endorse Ms Clinton tomorrow because you may.
stay out Please you bad luck.
The Democrats are dumb to do exactly what the Republicans hope, and to attack each other and not see themselves being overtaken by these new " born again Republicans" who now profess to " see the light" and promise to never again do what they always do when they get in office. - Wake up Demos!
Hey Paul by the way I believe Bush has had the lowest rating in memory. Clinton was always high.
MY RESPECT FOR JOHN KERRY HAS JUST GONE DOWN 1000 PTS......HOWEVER, THE TRUTH WILL WIN OUT EVENTUALLY. OBAMA IS THE ONE PLAYING THE RACE CARD AND GIVING OUT FALSE INFORMATION. HE CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS. HE IS YOUNG AND HIS INEXPERIENCE IS SHOWING. VOTE HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT!
GOOD jOB, jOHN KERRY! PLS CONTINUE DIFFENDING THE TRUTH!
OBAMA CON'T FIGHNT ALL LONE.
Somebody please tell me what Bill Clinton has lied about during this campain?
Obama basically said that that, "the last 15 yrs the Republican's were the party of ideas." Is that honest? 8 yrs of of Clinton and 7 yrs of Bush and the Republicans are the Party of Ideas? Give me abreak!!!! Obama like to dish it out but can't take it.
The GREAT MAN has spoken! You are the one! Show tell them that it's OVER! OBAMA 08!
I'm STILL looking for the example(s) where President Clinton "abused the truth" in regard to Obama.
Somebody help me out here?
Keep blowing things out of proportion because it's Bill Clinton.
He's not president anymore! You can stop piling on!
He got impeached! You won! Game over! Get over him already!
Amen, Robert Johnson.
John who?
I plan to vote Democrat in the general election. However, if Senator Hillary Clinton wins the nomination, I will vote Republican. I’m not interested in seeing the Clintons in the White House again. Most of my friends will do the same. We do not have penchant for Bill and Hillary’s style of politics. Bill and Hillary Clinton spurn the truth; they’re glaringly hypocritical.
Theres been too many instances or the Clintons have the Apearance of Guilt for me to believe anything they say. If Bill is going to be talking ,the Media should hold him accountable, Make him Show Facts , or Leave everything he says out of the news.
Kerry should shut up. Hes a looser and he will always be a looser. It will look bad on Obama if he shouts too much...
Please get off my TV and computer John Kerry. You are bringing out some really horrible memories from 2004. If Obama listens to Kerry, we know how close to the White House he will come.
So, what position in an Obama Administration is Kerry trying to get? Hmmm, can you say Vice-President Kerry? FYI Mr. Kerry – there isn't a place in an Obama administration for you because Obama's mantra is change, change, change – something neither he nor you would be able to pull off, not even together.
Hillay '08!
Nobody cares what John Kerry thinks! (the man who lost the election).
Kerry's is a Loser and His endorsment for Obama was like a bullet in the head for obama. Abusing the truth?? is that like saying Bush is a failure, Bush is the worst President Ever and we can thank him personnally for our tanking economy because the oil, gas , electric, medical, Financial and insurance come first. this country is about we the people, not we the greedy Corporation, wake up America
John Kerry is hoping to be Vice President!
Truth Squad,
No matter what, Kerry was a looser and will be a looser.
This election has nothing to do with any of the candidates supporters. This election has to do with bringing this country to a positive standing in the world again. This can only happen with truth, honesty, and integrity. The last thing we need as a country is another President who will lie to the people of this great nation and continue to divide us. Obama stands for unity, truth, and honesty. Forget who endorses whom and look into your guts and stand as one on the side of truth.
What amazes me most is the fact that the Demo. Party is it's own worst enemy......they do a better job cutting each other down than do the Republicans. If either Obama or Clinton win the nomination, the Republican Nominee will win the election....the Demo. Party's best chance to win is with John Edwards.
Oh! Pleeez! Mr. Flip Flop! You lost the election because of this!
Do people really think that Obama is going to sing gospels the same way he did in South Carolina with his african american supporters if he wins the elections?
People don't vote based on color or gender! Vote for a person who can bring clarity and can resolve issues which are important to our country.
I for one will not vote for a recent graduate and bring him as a CEO of a mega business which has failed for last 8 years!
As a Black woman I can't think of anthing. Obama helped Bill Clintion get elected. He went through the community and regeistered many people.
I trust former President Bill Clinton and Senator Hillary Clinton now far more than I do John Kerry. Bill Clinton is telling it like it is. John Kerry's word means nothing as he constantly flip flops all over the place, we all know what America thinks of him that's why he lost the 2004 election. It's hurts Senator Obama that John Kerry is backing him because John Kerry has no credibility with the American people. What was really an abuse a power is how John Kerry would brag all of the time about his military record yet failed to tell everyone how he was a traitor talking against the United States and our military. John Kerry stands for nothing!
I would think Senator Obama would want to distance himself from someone like Kerry, not exactly a good thing to have someone like Kerry give an endorsement. I've lost any respect I use to have for John Kerry.
Without a doubt my support is going to Hillary and I take the word of Bill Clinton anyday over John Kerry.
We're missing the point here.
Hillary cannot win the General Election. Kerry and all the Democratic Senate leadership know this. She and Bill's recent antics make that all the more clear. Just look at how many Democrats would rather vote for McCain or Romney than Hillary. And then think about how Independents and disgruntled Republicans will vote. They will move to the Republican side. To loosley quote Romney; "I can't imagine Bill Clinton in the White House with all that free time on his hands."
Now find me a single Democrat that would rather vote for McCain/Romney than Obama. Bet you can't find one. And Obama can bring in Independents and disgruntled Republicans in a way that Hillary cannot.
This is easy folks. Don't let your fond memories of the Clinton 90s get in the way of putting a Democrat in the office in 2008.
Ironically...I agree with Kerry too – I mean...even the Clinton supporters see that both Hillary and Bill make things up all the time (and won't even answer the most basic questions) – if he gets the nod....then its proves that truly nobody is listening
Amen, stan pitts pa – Kerry didn't get shot in Alabama.
Right on Kerry.
Isn't there a term limit for presidents? Bill you had your 2 terms, another stint of you in the White House is not what this country needs. I realize Hillary is running, but does anyone really think that Bill will sit in the background and allow her to run things?
Four years ago Kerry was the boy for half the Dems who are now here on this board slamming him for being a loser. Wow, talk about eating your young (or old as it were).
I had been a fan of John Kerry. This article has made me upset enough to drop off his email list. I used to respect John Kerry, but now he is throwing out more accusations which is not helping us come together in Unity. I'm sure Obama requested this action be taken but it's not helping the american people.
And so you have it: another chapter of Democrats eating their own.
I keep wondering why people say the Clintons did so much for African Americans during their term. Have people forgotten about Welfare Reform. That single policy helped increase poverty and homeless among African American women and children during Clinton's first term. The social cuts via this policy alone helped the Clinton admistration "balance the budget"–but at what cost? Look around and you will see many single-parent-women of all races struggling to make it by virtue of this policy.
Dez: I am with you! (2) – if Hillary get the nomination I will be voting for John McCain
What the heck does "abusing" the truth mean?
You'll notice that Kerry did not say that whatt Clinton stated WASN'T the truth – unlike Obama.
Since the Obama camp never backs up their claims, is it because they can't?
Not liking how the truth is stated does not make it less than the truth.
DITTO, JOHN KERRY - DITTO!
Before and during IOWA, Edwards was seem as the ANGRY LOSER. In NH, Hillary cried, and she was seen as the "PATHETIC LOSER."
Now that Hillary, with all her tauted years of experience has finally found her voice and has started to attack Obama, we are saying that a Good Man should not defend his own name.
What does America really want? People consistently tell me that they CANNOT trust us because we are "unstable" and "untrustworthy." That we betray others so easily and quickly, very much like "Judas." What hurts most is that we can sacrifice "morality" for econonic gains!!!!!
I think John Kerry has learned a lot over the last 4 years.
I admire him for seeing the truth in the Clintons.
It's easier to do now that he doesn't need them behind him any longer, but it's STILL good of him to come out with this.
The Clinton's have consistently manipulated people and lied to America for YEARS!
Wake up, we CAN DO BETTER for '08!
Why is CNN providing news-space to this irrelevant voice from the past ? He is a loser and he probably feels that after his "endorsement", he needs to pipe up once in a while to defend his "protege".
I was all for the fellow the last go around, till he folded up like a dummy once the Ohio results started coming in. Even when Edwards (his running mate) wanted the vote to be re-counted aggressively (there were several questions surrounding the "count"), this spineless mess went ahead and conceded, to "spare the country the ordeal of another re-count". What a joker and a loser.
Mr. Kerry the Loser,
If you had won your own state 4 years ago perhaps we wouldn't be in this situation today.
I don't like John Kerry. tell him to stop making comments.
Kerry, Who knows what is true and what is not true. how about obama's ties to a chicago slum lord. i wish i could buy a house for $300.000 under market price.as onama did from the slum lord.
CNN quit discriminating against me just because I bring up Sharpton.
With that said, I agree with Mr. Kerry. Clinton is, yet again, disgracing himself and hurting what little legacy he left. You never saw Bush. Sr. acting this way when his son was running for office. Even Barbara, while at times, testy, NEVER lied or cheated to make her son GW Bush look better than kerry. And Lord knows she could have with all the dirt out there about kerry's illegitmate kids.
Anywho, Republicans are showing why they are better cut out for this. They are stronger and can take the heat (unlike Obama and Clinton).
Also, Obama get rid of Sharpton. he is the one stirring up the race issue, so Hill and Bill can run with it.
In response to Jenny talking about Obama and Rezko. I guess you did not see the picture of Hill and Bill, posing with the same Rezko, on NBC this morning when she was being interviewed by Matt Lauer.
The Clintons really need to look past their personal ambitions and realize what is best for this country.
I'm sorry Hillary, but your politics and policies of division are not what we as a nation need a this time. We need a uniter and not a divider, and I'm sorry ma'am, but you are the most divisive candidate running in either party.
Anyone but Hillary '08
Who is Kerry?????
Go Hillary '08
Hard to port Kerry!
Multiple torpedoes inbound from aft!!
Poor John Kerry could beat out the dumbest President the US has ever had in George W so he has to beat up on the last Dem to have the keys to the White House.
BLAH I ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THE CLINTONS HAVE DONE SO MUCH FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS....
I DIDNT SEE HILLARY IN NEW ORLEANS WHEN KATRINA HIT!
AlfromLA-
When a -good- president talks, people listen. But yeah, Bill Clinton was a GREAT president.
obama has no controlm over what john kerry says, i think john kerry is speaking from the heart, he knows hrc very well and he knows that right now, they will do any thing/say anything to get elected and that their campaign was never about the American pepole, but about getting bill back in the white house, mitt said it best last night: can you imagine bill running around in the white house with nothing to do? potentially trouble!
I am a Republican considering voting for a Democrat this election. I see two problems. The line between Hilary and Bill is blurring. I question whether she can lead her campaign. Her husband is a good messenger and an incredible force. He has overshadowed his wife and made her look weak in her own cause. I have enjoyed the Democrats exchange of ideas until last debate. I really was listening to their ideas until now. I hate machine politics Republican included.
No one said any thing when J. Kerry's wife said that "teaching is not a real job." Any one remember that one, that was Kerry's wife on the trail in 2004. She is just not as good and Bill. So I guess Kerry is a little jealous.

Hey Folks..Get the Message ??
Kerry endorses Obama and then says "TOGETHER we will break the mold"
Obama dangles VP possibility under Kerry's long nose
Sleeze-bags both of them
JUST SAY NO TO OBAMA
John Kerry actually voted for the Clintons, before he decided to vote against them. lol. Give him 5 minutes, and Kerry will be singing Hillary and Bill's praises! Watch. Wait. and learn.
Kerry is "right on" this time. clinton (bill) is way over the line with half truths and lies but thats nothing new for him! obama is running against both clintons and we are all smart enough to see that!
Sen. Kerry – you are indeed – irrelevant. Back off. I voted for you in 2004 – regretfully so. Anyone that loses against G W. Bush can't really be taken seriously anyway.
Hillary – 2008!
Some people in the media just can't stand the fact that Bill and Hillary are still loved by many in this country. The polls prove it. When Bill speaks, people listen carefully to him - however, the media tries so hard to spin his comments. Neither Clinton has said one thing is racially insensitive – only that Obama lacks experience and has not be 'vetted'. Those statements have nothing to do with race and are true. Those that are "Obama" fanatics should thank the Clinton's for doing NOW, what will be done 100 fold later.
Clinton/Obama '08
I think John Kerry is a guy who talked big about himself and kept changing hismind. It is time for him to stay out of the campain and let the American decide who they would vote for. Is not him and Edwards good friend and running together for president and vice president not too long ago. Tell him people can read through his mind and what he was trying to do. Don't try to play dirty trick.
BILL CLINTON WILL DO WHATEVER HE HAS TO DO AND SAY TO GET BACK INTO THE WHITEHOUSE ! --– IT IS THAT SIMPLE.. AND WHATEVER PEOPLE AND CAREERS HE DESTROYS ALONG THE WAY.. WELL THAT IS COLLATERAL DAMAGE.. WHY ARENT' PEOPLE REMEMBERING THE AWFUL THINGS THE CLINTONS ARE CAPABLE OF AND HAVE DONE..,,,
It seems to me that Sen. Kerry is the desparate one as he was when running for president himself. He showed that he couldn't defend himself ,why is he trying for someone else's benefit now. Or is there an alternative reason.. VP ????
So Kerry is now the surrogate for Obama?
It's so nice to have a little truth an honesty–but Kerry chiding Clinton about going over the top...is over the top!!
It appears that Obama is still following the Clinton campaign handbook of the 4 d's: deceptive, division, derisive, diversion...keep the water boiling...and the attacks mounting...until the water is so muddy...nobody knows who's telling the truth!!
Thank goodness, at least Edwards has been taking the high road.
Yeah Dez, that makes a lot of sense. If Hillary wins the nomination, go out and vote in another four years of Republican. If that is the way you people think, you deserve what you get.
The world was collectively shaking their heads when Bush got in for another term, and now it looks like you will do it again. No wonder your country is circling the drane.....
People let's get a grip. We are all DEMOCRATS. Any of the three is better than what the Republicans have to offer. A few of my friends and I did an experiment to see which posts have a chance to make it past the censorship of CNN. Overwhelmingly post that were bashing either candidate made it through, while conciliatory posts did not. Post stating that we were going to vote Republican before we vote for Clinton or Obama were published, while posts saying that we would vote for either of the Democrats, did not make it to the board. Why do you think that is ? I want you all to think long and hard.
This whole thing could be settled if the Clinton's would step forward and help a fellow democrat. They have been asked to unequivically diss the fruadulent email lies on Obama's faith and early education but they have dodged and spun the issue. Let me say this if the Clintons do not have the decency to put a stop to this rubbish and help a fellow Democrat then we Democrats should not help the Clintons get to the Whitehouse. simple as that. Vote Edwards or Obama is my honest opinion. definetly not the Clintons.
Somebody please tell me what Bill Clinton has lied about during this campaign?
Obama basically said that that, "the last 15 yrs the Republican's were the party of ideas." Is that honest? 8 yrs of of Clinton and 7 yrs of Bush and the Republicans are the Party of Ideas? Give me abreak!!!! Obama like to dish it out but can't take it.
P.S. For those who say that Obama has a better chance of winning against the GOP aren't being honest (or at least aren't reading the polls). Clinton wins over Obama by at least 2% in those polls.
Kerry has taken two bird's (Hillary and John Edwards) for personal reason. I need a break. Kerry.....where is your plan for war? I am keep close watch on Presidential debates. I don't see much is substance in what Obama is talking hope people realizes this
Tell Kerry to take a hike
For those criticizing Obama for voting to fund the war, wouldn't you want our young men and women to have the funding that they need to get the job done over there?
I do not and have never agreed with the Iraq war, but I do support funding the troops if they have to be over there.
Hillary sent our troops over there. Obama just wants to take care of them while they do the job our current Commander in Chief is asking of them.
Hillary is the part of the problem, not a solution.
Ben in Columbus. Please give us a list of the things the Clintons have done for Black Americans. I don't think it will amount to much.
why should elect someone who's going to be impeached? i mean bill was impeached why make hillary number 3?
Obama is going to kick butt in South Carolina! Let's Celebrate!
KERRY IS A FRIEND WHO IS WORST THAN ENEMY
U KNOW HOW THEY SAY ITS BETTER TO HAVE AN INTELLIGENT ENEMY THAN A STUPID FRIEND .SO THERE IT IS OBAMA IS GOT A STUPID FRIEND
What is this race for?? Who is the biggest moron???
Kerry, Clinton x 2, Edwards, Obama are really turning this into a circus.
It's not a time to turn away, people. Pay attention and find out what these people are all about.
After the primaries, they will look you in the eye and act like one big happy family...
I am glad that Obama got the African American voters in South Carolina, but isn't that well know issue? However, I believe those votes from those groups still won't get him that far.
As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz.
As your writing dictates you are not that smart, does the name Sister Souja mean anything to you? Look it up and get back to a real brotha
WHAT?! Bill Clinton is abusing the truth? That can't be possible, can it..........:-))
Confused: When you find out what the Clintons have done for AA would you please inform me. AA that have been interviewed on the news seem to only say they are voting for them because of what they believe, which still hasn't answered my question. Pls advise me when you become informed.
Kerry is a sore loser, a far left liberal who couldn't win the presidency-he's just jealous of Bill Clinton, who had two very successful terms (67% approval rating, balanced budget). Democrats need to remember a little US history-most of the bloggers are too young to know much of anything. In the last 40 YEARS, (since LBJ) we have only had 2 Democratic Presidents, Carter (4 yrs) and Bill Clinton (8 yrs). Clinton was a winner, and the way the Democrats are going, it may be another 40 years until a Democrat gets in unless they nominate Hillary.. Obama does not have a prayer in the general election, it will be worse than McGovern., he will caryy a few Southern states. By the way, I am a lifelong Democrat who has voted for every Democrat since Stephenson, and who voted for Kerry last time.
John Kerry did a good job as a B.S., hope he is not running for vice president later.
Did anyone not see the comment left that said "John Kerry got more votes in 2004 than Clinton did in 1992 and 1998?" He may have lost the election, but the guys a great senator (smart for not giving that up to run in 04) and can even had the endorsement of the Clinton's in 04. A lot of you are saying "who cares what John Kerry has to say" and well, apparently a lot of people or he wouldn't still be in the senate.
As far as Obama answering the Clinton's questions...well he did. Hillary said that Obama praised the republicans, and well no he didn't. READ THE FREAKING INTERVIEW...guess what, we may not want to face it, but they were the party of ideas...Obama was right...in the debate on Monday he said "they were bad ideas but they were ideas."
Hillary is now saying she has to defend herself...against what? Obama defending himself?
I'm sick of the Clintons being power mongers. Everyone calls Obama a cry baby when he strikes back, but isn't that exactly what the Clinton's are too then?
KERRY WHO USED CLINTONS TO CAMPAIGN FOR HIM NOW TURNING BACK ON THEM ,THAT TELLS YOU WHAT KINDA PERSON HE IS .IF CLINTONS WERE THAT BAD WERE THEY NICE IN 2004 .HE IS NOTHING BUT FULL OF IT
Usual inept bumbling Kerry, a Vietnam veteran who lost the the election to a group of "chicken hawks" who has never been to war ever in their lives. The topic of the election was national security.
John Kerry lost the last election!
Why?
Because he didn't play hardball.
Now he adds to the whining chorus of Obama.
How stupid does he think we are?
My view is that Kerry will align with anyone that might promise him the Vice President seat. Obviously, the people did not support him when he ran for the last presidential seat and becuase of his lack of popularity among voters he could not beat the republicans. Kerry is directly the reason why Bush won and destroyed our economy! I will give no support or thanks Kerry.
Does anyone remember Kerry's mis-speaking when he was endorsing Governor Shwartsniger, he stated he wanted people to get an education so that they did not end up like our serviceman who are fighting in Iraq. He insulted the very people sacrificing their lives, what a guy!
Signed,
Disgusted with Krazy Kerry
Can someone give me a definition of truth? The one that i already knew , never told me that truth can be abused.
Moby: Learn how to spell L-O-S-E-R before you start calling others as such. John Kerry didn't lose the election in 200 - it was stolen from him.
Kerry must be looking and hoping if Obama gets elected he can get a job maybe VP..
"Kerry formally endorsed Obama on January 10, saying then that Obama "isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces."
what a mess they want to do! And who is gong to clean up and put it back together?
We cannot be without some "mold" = rules, discipline, laws! They even do not know what the new"mold" would be.....very scary....
KERRY IS A LOOSER ,,,,ALL THE WAY
HE TURNED HIS BACK ON JOHN EDWARDS
HE TURNED HIS BACK ON CLINTONS WHO HAD CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM IN 2004
HILLARY 2008
Congratulations to the democratic party! After 8 terrible years of GWB this election was supposed to be an easy win for the dems but the childish infighting has split the party and taken away any chance of victory in '08. And now just as it was starting to settle down a little bit John Kerry of all people feels the need to stir it back up. John Kerry needs to GO AWAY!
Just for the record: Kerry didn't lose the election - it was stolen from him.
Sen. Kerry,
Just go away. All of your comments strike me as a feeble attempt to get some attention for yourself.
Hey Truth Squad, ever hear of a real 3-person race. That is why Clinton got fewer votes. I recommend that Senator K. check out factcheck.org. There he will find that Senator Obama is just at good at distorting the truth as the other two candidates. Silver-tounged lies are still lies. If you are going to bash the Clintons for talking out of both sides of their mouths, you should be prepared to go after Obama for doing the same. I am voting for Hillary because she has the best plan on a variety of issues (health care especially).
Abusing the truth"? Doesn't that imply actual truth? What does that mean?
Statements like these are more reasons why this character was unelectable. Kerry proves over and over again that he's a buffoon.
Clinton is over the top, however.
Vote for Obama, not Chelsea's momma.
Kerry goes from one to another one – no loyalty. where is his backbone?
Hey is this Kery reporting for duty again...NOOOOOOO.
HAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH john kerry!? HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHH
I think it's funny that so many LOSERS with their comments can't spell LOSERS.
Here we go! That's firepower! Fight fight fight! Only Kerry unlike Clinton couldn't even beat a Bush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Kerry is an Obama supporter.
He is coming to his aid.
This democratic nomination is going to go down in history in how LOPSIDED the news was reported.
Is CNN slanted for Obama? On the web it is. On tv, not really. Except for that one guy STUMPING for Obama like he is offically on his campaign.
Clinton is still going to win the nomination.
Even as an Obama supporter, I felt for Edwards when Kerry made his support known. He is entitled to his opinion, and fortunately, all of our Democratic frontrunners are smart and competent candidates. I feel Obama and Hillary would do better if John Kerry and Bill Clinton would let each of them run their campaigns on their own. Both are stronger candidates without these diversions. Can we please stick to the issues?
Kerry....I need a break. Hope your plan for Iraq war is ready at least by now. Seems wounded man is revenging against his own mates for personal reasons. No doubt Hillary Clinton and John Edwards have superioty of thoughts, actions, experience and not just words. I will rank Hillary then John Edwards, then Bill Richardson and then Obama. Hope people realizes and not vote based on emotions
Just when the Dems were controling the infighting fires, leave it to that "brilliant" campaigner John Kerry to try to heat things up.
I don't know what his game is, but he still doesn't seem to know how to play it.
Being a woman who lived through the 60's when women had no rights, were paid less than men for the same job and held down 2 jobs, one outside of the home and then keeping the house running (i.e. cooking, cleaning, laundry, ironing, grocery shopping, taking kids to doctors, etc.). The men mowed the lawn and fixed stuff when it was broken but mostly came home, sat in front of the tv and asked "what's for dinner" and then ate dinner and went back to the tv leaving the woman to clean up the kitchen, get the kids ready for bed and somewhere around 10 pm went to bed to start all over again. That is why I support Hillary. Because women with courage like her made us feel like we counted and were not just a Mrs. somebody. We actually became real 100% Americans. Unless you lived through the 60's and early 70's, you will not understand this. Women have run this country behind the scenes for a long time. It is time for us to step up and elect Hillary Clinton as the president of these United States and show the world we are a progressive and lasting country. Hillary keep on fighting the fight. If you were a man, they would say you had leadership ability but we women know what men call strong women and it is not a nice word. Bill Clinton was a great president and cared about this country. So having him around is a bonus.
Excuse me but trying to divide people on race will not work in this campaign as Obama is a candidate OF THE PEOPLE.
He got a majority of votes in Iowa so stop with the baiting. Obama is also both White and Black, or have you not heard? So stop trying to paint him as the black candidate....he is the PEOPLE'S CANDIDATE. He is America's candidate: Obama '08
Hey John SWIFTBOAT, I wouldn't be to hasty in acusing anyone of stretching the truth. Theirs a lot of vet still around. You need to fade into the shadows and sit dow and shut up.
Finally, a Democrat that knows Clinton is a LIAR!
You are all democrats posting aren't you? There is a lot of in-fighting amongst democrats which is really disturbing. You people are sick. Get off the blog and go back to work if you even have a job.
Nice!
Eat it, Hillary!
Kerry knows what it's like to be hit with lies. I am glad to see him buck up. The ALMOST makes up for the "don't tase me, bro!" incident.
VOTE OBAMA TO END THE DYNASTIES!
What have the Clinton really ever done for the black community??Or the Hispanic community for that matter. Under the Clintons poverty increased for both blacks and hispanics. They talka a good game, but in the end it is the same old story: the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. They represent the same business as usual in Washington. The Clinton have alway done and will always do what is politically expedient for them. I look at anyone who endorses them as either the Washington old guard or someone who wants the status quo to continue in Washington.
Obama is one of the only candidates that is not a millionaire. That means that until recently he has had to deal with the same issues as most Americans. The Clintons have just been doing everything possible to make themselves rich the last twenty years. Which is their prerogative, but it does not give me any confidence in their leadership. In the end a vote for anyone other than Obama or Edwards is a vote for the status quo in Washington. Can Americans really afford another 4-8 years of more business as usual ?????
What's up with this guy? Does he think Obama would pick him as a Vice President? Go home dude!!!
good job john kerry. now hopefully you have the know-how and experience to withstand and counter whatever moves the clinton's make next.
If you didn't believe in edwards, why did you have him be your vice presidential nominee?
You really do sound like a flip flopper
Right on John...I don't care much for your opinion, but you're right on the money. The Clintons have been spinning and spinning everything in a negative way since they realized Barack has them on every SINGLE issue.
You Clinton backers don't seem to understand that if Hillary wins the nomination, she'll chase a whole slew of moderate democrats to to the Republican ticket. Myself included. THAT is why Obama has a better chance to win than Hillary.
John, take a vacation to somewhere exotic ....like China...Yea, thats the ticket ...a Swift...er, Slow Boat to China.....
Kerry is too weak to defend himself, that's why he lost the last election. We democrats don't want to be reminded of that incompetent fool. He is a girly man who could not take the Republican heat.
Oh John Kerry...trying so hard to make it seem like you're important. You lost in 2004 when it was practically handed to you on a silver platter. You would have run again if you didn't screw up and say that people serving in the military were stupid. Now, in an effort to reclaim your status within the Democratic party, you attack our last great President.
Let Obama fight and speak for himself. He wants to be the leader of the free world. Well, he needs to show the world that he is tough enough to stand up against criticism. You of all people know all too well the kinds of dirty tricks that the Republican play. If Obama cannot handle these criticisms (which would be brought up one way or another), then the American people should see that now and NOT nominate him. We Democrats do not want to nominate someone only to lose LIKE YOU DID to the Republicans. The stakes are too high for us to have another Republican in the White House.
"...I think people have seen this sort of franticness in the air, if you will."
I won't.
"Franticness" is not a word my dictionary recognises. "I think people have seen this sort of frantic behaviour in the air." Would be correct, though the phrase "in the air" is a useless frill in this context.
Thank you Senator Kerry for speaking up for the truth. Because we know Wolf Blitzer will not say anything negative about the clintons.
Kerry you're a loser. You couldn't beat bugs bunny. You lost to Bush, that's very sad.
The Clintons are good for America. If you can't handle them you can't be president. Hillary has my vote.
I think we have pretty much established that all of our politicians including Presidents stretch the truth and even lie as a part of their daily activities. What I can't quite understand is how the American public is willing to accept the fact that we were lied to about going to WAR in Iraq but we are quick to be so concerned about Bill Clinton stretching the truth during this campaign.
(Don't argue that we didn't accept it, there has been no impeachment process and even those that are convicted on other charges were and will be pardoned by the President, so yes America you accepted one of the biggest lies in history.)
By the way didn't we spend more money trying to impeach Bill Clinton for extramartial affair than we have trying to figure out how we went to WAR by accident or what happened in Ohio in the 04 election put together?
Look John Kerry is irrelevant to domestic policy, foreign policy, and the Democratic Party but Bill Clinton is not. He and his wife are still relevant and could really chart a different course in history because of their ability to influence.
If all of these readers are offended by race being infused into the Democratic Primary, let's wait and see how the Republican machine infuses race into the presidential election if Obama is the Democratic nominee. I think it’s fair to say "you aint seen nothing yet!"
Arnt most republicans Gays or Criminals?
Yesterday, Bill seemed to think he was going to "chill out" himself and even kinda of said that he was "having too much fun." BUT, IT IS WORKING. Don't Stop! OBAMA is ON THE RUN!!!!! Look at the free press that we are getting? Even the Republicans could not keep Hillary out of their own debate last night. The talk is not just BAMA. Also, people in SC are keeping mum on their vote and from what I hear.....and you heard it first....many are still undecided or now say they could change their minds!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!
HRC in '08!!!!!!
They all are the same, well except for GWB no one can break a country like he has,but can any of them fix this mess? I think not...we are screwed
Senator Barack Obama showed Americans that race should not be an issue when running for President of the UNITED States when he won Iowa. When Bill Clinton thought that Hillary was going to lose, Billary played the race card. As a southerner himself, he's fully aware of the divisiveness that race plays in the country and he's fully aware of how most Americans will react to the race card. Bill injected race into the campaign and it looks like it's playing out very well. Senator Obama had no reason to run on race; he's multiracial and has tried to run a campaign that doesn't drag people down on race. But the Clintons were not going to have it that way and Hillary is as much to blame as Bill. Guess they'll try to make amends on race after she wins the Democratic nomination. It's a sad state when the best candidate for the Democratic nomination happens to be a person of color. The 'say anything, do anything' campaign of Billary has done irreparable harm to the Democratic party. As a woman, I won't cast my vote on someone this divisive. With the Clintons hoping to be back in the White House, we'll go back to the scandals of the past, since integrity doesn't appear to be high on the Clinton's list. Hillary does not provide the change the country desperately needs. If Billary wins the nomination, the Republicans will get my vote.
Boy, talk about the pot calling the kettle black.
Kerry the Loser adds another lost on his long losing streak. You didn't win the presidency...get over it!
Old Billy never lies or steches the truth does he? He gave my kids quite an education.
I don't much care for Kerry but i'm glad to hear him say what I've been thinking about both Clintions.
This country may be ready for a women pres. but she's not the one.
Kery tells the truth. No more Billary!
It is really too bad Sen Kerry didn't open his mouth in 2004, then we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now! Sen Kerry's disgraceful campaigning abilities gave Bush a second term and now we have to still listen to him?
Maybe Sen Kerry should spend time apologize the the American people for opening the door and handing the keys over to Bush to destroy America at home and abroad, before he goes around being critical of candidates who are campaigning with fight and vigor he never had, or does he think the Republicans won't pull another "Swiftboat" again! Remember something Sen Kerry you are talking about a "former President", a title you will never have because you blew it when you had the chance!
Did the democrats and republicans switch tactics for this campaign? And where is the reporting on the issues? This year’s election is a joke thanks to the politicians themselves and the media.
300 thousand below the market price. What thats all about?
Clinton is a man's man. He knows how to fight fire with fire and obama is really to much of a wuss to fight the republican spin machine.
"This whole thing could be settled if the Clinton's would step forward and help a fellow democrat. " ....eh? What you mean John?
Bill Clinton should have left well enough alone. Why is he so desperate to have Hilary win? I think the answer is obvious. He wants back in the limelight. As well, with all eyes on the two of them, it's been cramping his style (if you know what I mean). If she wins, she's in for 4 years no matter what he does at that point, and he's free to roam the White House once more looking for new adventures.
Bill is getting old and Barack should just address the issues and pick his battles very professionally. It's not appealing for either to argue about irrelevant issues in the media and the American people are in such a bad position. Let Clinton talk himself to sleep(literally). Move on.
If you know the accusations aren't true, for as hard as it would be to not say anything...ignore them or put out an Email addressing the remarks. Email is a powerful tool. The facial expressions and the way you publicly handle yourself in the public's eye speaks loud and says so much to the public and media(some gestures become abused and mistaken).
If you say you're above the behavior then show it. Jesus had all sorts of things said about him but he never really reacted in a state of frustration.. he was quiet most times and the truth spoke for itself down the line. A quiet answer calms a heated remark. They can't argue with themselves. Keep your poise Barack, they win if they move you and your character to respond in anger or retaliation. It's not pretty. Hillary vowed to end the bickering on the Michael Baisden show yesterday , they're waiting for you to do the same.
Let Bill have his time, maybe if he could regroup his character and quiet himself he could get some sleep and stop sleeping on the job. He's better when he's sleeping .. more peaceful.
Kerry should know all too well.
ONE QUESTION : WHAT THE HELL DID THE CLINTONS DO FOR AFRICANS-AMERICANS ? Please i need a real answer.
I think it's highly funny that Kenny is slamming Clinton, but didn't say anything to the Swift Boaters. Shows you what a loser he really is
greg you said it best! John kerry is a war hero, who didnt dump his fellow comrades or brothers-in-arms he fought for them and with them, he is a true leader, anyone who has served this country and fought for our freedoms is a true hero to me!!! unlike some others who did all they could to avoid serving and defending this country !!besides as noted above just because someone made it to the super bowl and lost doesnt mean they were a bad team!
Let's stop the "abusing the truth" etc. The words in plain English are "lie" and "liar". Yes Bill, this means you!
I question if the Clintons or the Clinton machine has any moral values. How can one stand before the same nation and public whom they shamed, so publicly and globally?
What will their nomination, if they do win, say about Americans to the World? That nothing shames u - even our public, government (political parties) or our legal courts when we so blantely lie to them, at the highest office of the nation?
Go Clintons. We need your disgrace around the world. We will be a nation of liars and wrestlers who will tell any lie and say anthing to win, in the land of the shameless - America.
the republicans will chew and spit out hrc, they have got way more ammo against hrc than obama, at least obama all of his are out there and he the public is well aware! they cant wait to go after her! white folks in iowa showed us the way America, by voting for the best candidate, we all have to follow their lead whites/blacks /hispanics and make the right wise choice to actually not just give us a fresh start, but to get something done, somehow i dont see the republicans waiting with open arms to work with hrc, tooo divisive, vote obama!
Don't force-feed us Obama
As fas as I am concerned, the Clinton's have lost my vote and if she becomes the nominee, I will be voting Republican for the first time in my life.
I question if the Clintons or the Clinton machine has any moral values. How can one stand before the same nation and public whom they shamed, so publicly and globally?
What will their nomination, if they do win, say about Americans to the World? That nothing shames us - even our public, government (political parties) or our legal courts when we so blantely lie to them, at the highest office of the nation?
Go Clintons. We need your disgrace around the world. We will be a nation of liars and wrestlers who will tell any lie and say anthing to win, in the land of the shameless - America.
Before you people go trashing the Clintons you need a reality check. Watch all of their debates and "criticized" speeches and ads once more. they said nothing wrong or racial yet the Media spun everything out of proportion. That's who we should be blaming – not Clintons nor the Obamas. Neither side intended for mud slinging or bring race or gender into it. The media unfortunately took every word they said out of context and that's all they chose to air. Obama isn't a saint and I'm sure you'll see that in the near future. Go Hillary.
John Kerry, is a jealous person. He had a chance in 2004, which hes lost to George Bush. During the 2000 election Bill Clinton won over George Bush Sir. Kerry, needs focus on his act and leave the Clinton along. Why he did not support his running mate John Edwards? Shame on you.
Who cares what John Kerry has to say about anything. He couldn't defend himself in 2004 so what makes him think he's of any value to anyone else?
TAKES A LOSER TO ENDORSE ONE.
Nobody cared in 2004 what John Kerry had to say, 2008 is absolutely no different.
Kerry's a good one to talk, everyone remember he has more Flip Flops then the beach does. He has gone from one stance to another so often when you watch him he blurs up. Yes Kerry served this country and from then on we don't really know where he stood, but you can say one thing the ground was very soft. Coming from a guy that didn't even back his own running mate a few years ago, glad he didn't get elected and get sick, because , well I guess he just picked Edwards because of his hair and not where he stood.
"Franticness?" Hilarious! I wish President Bush had said this, as then we could make fun of it. Since Kerry said it, however, we can't criticize–let alone laugh at–his bizarre choice of words.
why is obama allowed to have his wife campaign for him and everybody's eye is on Bill because he is campaigning for his wife? Why is obama allowed to exucse his actions through the media and only more accusations are thrown at Hillary? Double standards?
Get with it news media... don't throw in our faces the people you want in office in such a positive way in order to try to swing the vote.
Why not report on everything they say as opposed to just the good things from one side and the bad things from another?
John who won an election and who lost it?????? Good question.
Bill Clinton is a pathelogical liar and Hillary is even a bigger one, both of whom will say and literally do anything to get elected to an office. The US should have been finished with the Clinton's after the President left office but due to the liberal NY voters our country got stuck with Hillary again. Heaven help America if the voters are stupid enough to elect/nominate another Clinton. She has made a laughing stock of the Presidential process and this whole nominating process for 08 has made America the laughing stock of the world. Now really, can you see Hillary dealing with world heads of state?????
When obama and his backers attack Hillary, they can expect to have Hillary and Bill and their backers attack obama. Just because John Kerry (and I voted for him) didn't fight back look who we now have in the White House. IF he expects the Clintons to roll over and play dead like he did, he has another think coming. They would not attack obama if they were not first attacked. When michelle said, if they can't take care of their house, how can they take care of the White House, that was a low blow and then to say she wasn't talking about them personally. Well, I have listened to that statement many times and there is only one way to take it and that is how it was meant. Well, obama has Ophra and Hilary has Bill, I for one will take Bill any time and go back to the days of Peace and Prosperity for ALL, not just big corporations and rich people. They know what it is like to not be rich and they understand how the majority of Americans feel and what they go through to make ends meet sometime. So lets be fair for once, give Hillary the credit she deserves and quit giving obama all of the good press. The press has been Hillary's worse enemy and obamas best friend.
How entertaining to imagine a Presidential candidate who was gutless and quite frankly lost because of his lack of fiery rhetoric condemning the last Democratic President who actually knows what it takes to ascend through the rank and file to make all the way to the White house.
Kerry is really desperate for attention. I think he wants a cushy job in a potential Obama administration. I guess Kerry is back with his old "flip flopping" ways - vote Clinton, support Clinton, complain about Clinton, win fourth purple heart.
We'll see what happens.... I don't think John Kerry has much sway with Democrats these days.
James, I am with you. The Clinton's are lucky that Kerry is bashing them; any endorsement by him is the "kiss of death."
Kerry go back to windsurfing. You couldn't win your election for President so what makes you think you can help Obama? The draft dodger team of Bush and Cheney lied about the situation in Iraq 935 times and you still couldn't beat them.
I hear the ghost of Al Smith is pretty upset with Clinton too (and should be taken about as seriously).
Oh no is this Swift Boat Johnnie talking about the Truth. ... ?
I am sick of these Democrats who rode in on Bill Clinton's coattails and now feel free to attack him. Look, the media brought up race.? How many times did we hear about the "white" voters in Iowa after that Primary. Then, when Senator Clinton won NH, we heard that perhaps the polls were wrong because white voters lied to the pollsters about being able to vote for a black candidate. When President Clinton, who is very experienced with the media's bias, jumped in to defend his wife the media had a fit. The young inexperienced reporters at Cnn got their feelings hurt. Clinton was right to say, "
shame on you." The reporters are weak and can't stand the criticism of themselves yet love to dish it out. My plan is to refuse to donate anything to John Kerry, Claire MsCaskill, Patrick Leahy again. I did in the past, but never again. None of these people defended her against the sexist attacks that feel on her time after time and now, they are all whining about the race issue. An issue the Clintons did not bring up at all.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
I remember watching Bill Clinton coming on the political scene in his first bid for president.
He was impressive, because here was a guy that was not out to pull down his opponents, but somebody who seemed to genuinly care for his country and it's citizens, and who would always try to bring forward constructive ideas (wether they might have been right or wrong).
Years later, here is Obama Barack, and if anything, he reminds us of the young Clinton; full of honest enthusiam, searching for concepts that may provide more social justice and equality, break the pattern of lies and deception that has characterised the Bush government for the last 8 years.
I find it sad o watch therefor, that the Clintons now appear to have adapted a behaviour that has been for too many years the trademark of the Republican spindoctors , and now just seem to focus all their energy on misrepresenting "The New Clinton" on the scene, the inspired and inspiring Obama Barack.
It's a shame they don't seem to understand that what the USA is looking for, and desperately needs , in a leader, is not another politician who knows how to "spin" better then his opponent, but rather somebody who might genuinely represent, both by culture as by generation, a new line of thinking and approach of not only USA domestic issues, but also in how to succesfully, (and hopefully peacefully) try a new way of interacting with governments in the whole world.
To tackle issues that concern us all, such as global warming, development of new energy resources, equal distribution of wealth and knowledge etc.
The question we have to ask ourselves therefor is only this one; do we want to vote in another politician who is closely tied with all forms of "special interest" groups and lobby-ists (Clinton), or do we decide it is time to really try a different approach and give mr . Obama a chance in bringing about a cultural revolution and to restore the values the USA has always prided itself on,before being stripped from most of them by 8 years of Bush effort to take the USA back to the middle ages???
Do we have anything to loose really by trying to drastically change things for the better, for ourselves as for our children??
I don't think so, and that in itself is enough reason for me to vote mr. Obama.
Sincerly
A. Moesker
come on!!! CNN you have got to stop being so one sided!! there are never any positive things said on this website about the clintons anymore... which is funny, since oh no, wait, you have always seemed to be conservative in your reporting. (note: summer 2006, special on cnn TV called something like, "is the apocolypse near?")
well, i know that the people of america are much more intelligent then to fall for this garbage. i now tell my friends i read cnn as a tabloid: fun and shocking, but without much truth.
As a democrat, I personally don't care what Kerry or anyone else says about the Clintons. The Clintons put the nail in the coffin for me because they themselves proved who and what they are. That's why I listen to all candidates, democrat and republicans with an "open mind" to get a larger perspective on each candidate. I choose to be an informed and responsible voter.
John Kerry had no problem using the Clintons for free publicity when he was running. Now that he's decided to posture himself as a potential VP nom, he's not so appreciative of their efforts. Opportunistic, I'd say.
If the cry-babies can't take the heat , how do we expect them to compete against the republican hate machines that are going to be in full force through November.
I feel Obama has split the democrat party in half. When the Democrat Black Caucus stated if Hillary won that the African American's wouldn't show up to vote, that to me was a racial stance. Again, I wouldn't be surprised if the League Of Women Voters would pull all support if Obama wins.
Blizzard: Thanks for the heads up on the moderation of these boards. I've posted quite a few things that never made it past the Mods. Your post now makes all clear.
Black or White, Democrat or Republican, they all twist the truth to their benefit.
Actions speak louder than words. Now if only the ignorant portion of our voting population would form opinions around issues and where the candidate stands rather than just believing what they hear in smear campaigns...
Right now, 47% of the electorate says they will not vote for Hillary. That is worse than at any time during the Gore or KERRY campaigns. Oh, but she would have a shot. Yeah right!
As much as I try not to bash, it's oh so fun sometimes...
I hope Hillary comes in third in the South Carolina primary. Maybe we'll get to see both Clintons crying this time.
2028 election prediction: Chelsea Clinton vs. George Prescott Bush.
And finally, John Kerry, do you really think you're going to persuade a single person to vote for Obama?
Kerry is one of my past mistakes....you would not qualify to be a dog catcher.....that should teach Clinton to avoid helping the helpless......especially the party helpless..............
This makes me laugh because since that last time Kerry came out and spoke about how President Clinton was wrong for what he has said, President Clinton has not made any comments.
Kerry once again comes out and complains about President after the fact. It sounds like his political Career to me.
If Obama can't take the Clintons' heat now, he should jump bail as how the heck is going to handle the GOP's heat if he wins the democratic nomination????
What I really don't want to see is another Republican in the White House. For some reason people seem to hate Hillary. They don't even know why. either they don't have a mind of their own or they want reason the matter out. This lessons her chance in the Gereral Election. Obama can not win the South and you can not win the General Election without the South. You want to put a Republican in office just support Obama for the Democratic nomination and see what happens. Edwards is most likely the best candidate to win the General Election. He is male, white and pretty much has the same score card as Hillary and Obama. I really want to see a Democrate in the White House and I feel that the long odds in the General Election lay with John Edwards.
Let me see. Pathetic loser versus two-time winner. Who do I go with here?
There was once a time I had a favourable opinion of Bill and looked forward to Hilary's candidacy. But after seeing them up close and personal, esp hilary it is appaling and very scary that she could be become President.
Obama is so much more real. So down to eart and unifying. What a fantastic president he will make.
Go Kerry!
Hillary as the Democratic nominee plays right into the hands of the Republican party.
Wake up people.
Obama '08!
Bill and Hillary are knuckle heads. I'm disgusted with the Clintons. They are so paranoid that they have added poor Chelsea on their campaign bandwagon. Who needs another Bush-Clinton dynasty? This is not Europe. Some Americans are so naive to be voting for Hillary– buy one, get one free. Go away Bill and spend more time with your concubines. You have diminished the office of the Presidency and your legacy in the anals of politics.
Well done Kerry, at least you did not inhale!
There is a differance between husband campaining and other political figures campaining.
OBAMA NEEDS POLITICAL FIGURES TO LOOK AFTER HIM BUT MRS HILLARY CLINTON NEEDS ONLY HER HUSBAND TO CAMPAIGN..
Hurray for Kerry!! More people need to speak up and tell Bill to put a cork in it. He had his chance and blew it, literally. His wife may have 35 years experience dealing with a cheating husband, cheating friends and cheating businesses but that hardly qualifies her to be president.
I used to have respect for president clinton but now I have even more!! We love you Bill. keep up the good work. Oh John Kerry seems like an unlikely person to be giving campaign advice.... oh well my two cents
John Kerry speaking on Bill Clinton's lies....that's an oxymoron. Hmmmm, why does't he mention the numerous lies that Obama has made? Guess Kerry does't like seeing Obama getting spanked by Hillary during debates. She clearly out ranks Obama on SO many levels. It was Obama who started the attacks and answered every question with a zinger against Hillary. When pressed about his own record however, he was very defensive but later admitted that "no one was clean".
Primaries are supposed to be a killing field. Their purpose is to finish off weak candidates and get their bodies off the field. Kerry is, was, and will always be weak – and so is his decision to support Obama.
If "the Clintons" win, I will be voting republican for once. THAT's what independent voters will do. THAT's why Hillary could lose a general election. THAT's why Obama would not lose the general election.
Obama will unite.
Clintons will always divide. Always.
Yep – there you go John Kerry being an idiot again. I actually voted for you. Keep your mouth shut, you are much better that way. Did you ever hear of political strategy – oh that's right – you lost to Bush because you had no strategy!
Barack isn't innocent either – they all play these games, but stay out of it John. It needs to die down so we can get down to business and win this election. If the Dems can't win now in light of everything the Repulicans have done to this country – then they have real problems!
In case you're wondering, I am undecided – I am either voting for Hillary or Barack. But let's stop the in fighting and take one page from the Republican play book that HAS worked for them in the past – show a united front no matter what.
Bloggers: If you are saying "If Clinton wins... if Obama wins... I'll vote Republican" - are you really willing to cut off your nose to spite your face? The knee jerk reactions don't change anyone's mind. You are, of course, entitled to your opinion, but could we try to have some intelligent, well-thought comments?
I do not trust Obama whatsoever even more now that kerry is backing him.
Leave Bill alone. He was a good president. So he lied about a sexual matter involving cheating on his wife. I do not care. That has nothing to do with how he ran this country. I am still not impressed with Hillary however she may be the best bet we have.
How funny to see all the Obama surrogates from Dashle to Kerry coming out to defend their boy and criticizing Bill Clinton! Of course they want to protect their candidate that they all want to bring to the White House to keep their entrenched power. Kerry was a total incompetent that lose the last election for not fighting back hard to the Republicans. Flip flopper #1
What is wrong with abusing the truht? That's wath we need the truth and only the truth. We don't want to be like those republicans that all they have done this past 7 years is abuing lies.
Go Hillary!!!!!!!!
JOHN EDWARDS! JOHN EDWARDS! EDWARDS IN 2008 – GET OUT AND VOTE FOR EDWARDS!!
Never mind that Bill Clinton campaigned for him in 2004. Oh, that was okay back then. What Kerry has to say is irrelevant. Bill Clinton was elected twice. He couldn’t get elected once! And it sure wasn’t Bill Clinton’s fault. Kerry’s appeal was weak, not effective nor aggressive enough that is why the lost the election. His predicted voter turnout never materialized—young people didn’t even come out. More than 45% of eligible voters didn’t even turn out to vote—even in the pro Bush states. Glad he’s on the Obama side. Kerry is nothing but a billionaire who cannot relate to the average American. No matter how much he tries or gets up there and gives his speeches—he’ll never relate to the American people. Right now he wants the limelight and the media will give it to him.
I never could get excited about the Kerry/Edwards ticket, but I reluctantly voted for him. I regret that I ever did. I should have gone with my gut feeling about him and Edwards, but I wanted my party to win. I have learned a valuable lesson though—I’ll never vote for a candidate I do not believe in just so my party will win. Can I take my vote back?
You people who are slamming John Kerry make me sick!! Tell what you have accomplished for your country before you call any one a LOSER (at least spell it correctly)
Bill Clinton's support of Kerry was tepid at best, Bill Clinton avoided the draft, and John Kerry lost the election because he tried to run an honest campaign.
Unfortunately he too was running against a "machine" but at least he learned a lesson and is willing to put up with this ignorant abuse to tell voters that the Clinton machine is dishonest, divisive and totally absorbed with gaining power no matter what they do to their party and country.
Do we want a president that voted for the Iraq war before they knew the facts? Do we want a president that will make decisions before they know the facts? Senator Obama is clearly the most intelligent and the only choice for president.
Kerry is still looking for a voice. He is the one who actually LOST to Bush!! Now that's something Kerry should be blasted for!!!
If you look at the number of African Americans that Clinton appointed when he was President you will see that no other presidency compares. The people who are appointed can push agendas that support African Americans. Also when he was President black unemployment went down and black home ownership went up. Why shouldn't African americans support the Clintons?
As you can see Kerry is a traitor to the Clintons just like a traitor to his service for his country in a war. Kerry shows his cannot commit to anything but his own personal gain. Looks like Kerry will want the VP spot on the ticket. That will be Obama's mistake to take him.
O.k. all you Clinton haters – just chill out and remember who is doing the talking – it's John Kerry afterall (yes, the same backstabing John Kerry that threw his former running mate under the bus). How can anyone believe anything that he has to say...?
Crybaby Obama calls on loser John Kerry to defend him. Both of them should shut up. Keep talking, President Clinton, we love you. Go Hillary '08.
Thank you, Kerry, for speaking up for Senator Obama. The Clintons' tactics seem to be to throw rocks and then point the finger to say, "He did it!" It doesn't fool people like myself who have been following the news stories closely.
From reading this blog, it seems like many people prefer to have aggressive bullies rather than gentleman run our country.
Oy. You know, they all need to shut up. The Dems and the Repubs. Even if that means not voting for anyone! Look how the Bushies and and the Roves divided us using this same tactic year after year. United we are not as a result. Enough already. It's an insult to our collective intelligence to think that these schoolyard antics will actually sway someone's opinion. We need the smartest person to be president, not the one with the best insults.
I challenge everyone to join me in not voting for any candidate from any party who continues to resort to negative campaigning, from heretofor. And lets email each of them to tell them so.
Have you really ever known a democrat to tell the truth while their lips are moving?
The Clintons are splitting the party and at what cost to see his wife in the Whitehouse. The DNC need to step in before they lose more than the WHITEHOUSE. If Hillary receive the number of delgates to lead the party. I will switch party and she will not get my vote.
Tino!!! Tha's why you need to read more!!!!
Under Clinto's Afican amercans salary rose 7600 ddls. average per person.
Under Bush administration 2300 ddls average less per person!!
Democrats need to untie against the lying Clintons. Why can't some people see what liars they are. Hillary can't win against any Republican. There is way too may lies, way too much dirty laundry. I am so very sorry to say if these blind Americans give her the nom, the smart Americans are going to vote against her. We already have a liar in office. Why would we want another one??
Oy. You know, they all need to shut up. The Dems and the Repubs. Look how the Bushies and and the Roves divided us using this same tactic year after year. United we are not as a result.

John Kerry is a really bad looser. He is a kept man. Sitting there in comfort of his wife's money and blowing hot air. He should play in the monster movie.
NOBODY SHOULD BE SUPRISED THAT KERRY BETRAYED JOHN EDWARDS AND WENT AGAINST THE CLITON'S WHO SUPPORTED HIM DURING HIS RUN IN 2004. KERRY HAS A RECORD OF BETRAYAL. HE BETRAYED HIS FELLOW VIETNAM VETERANS WHEN HE RETURNED FROM THE WAR, WAS A DISGRACE WHEN HE RETURNED HIS MILITARY METALS. OBAMA, YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE THIS LOSER AND BETRAYER ON YOUR SIDE.
The Clinton's have lied and cheated the American people long enough . Time to take this country back , and put someone in the "peoples" White House ,that actually cares abourt us.NO MORE CLINTON SHAME !
LOL @ the "Sore Loser" comments. The Clintons are just as dirty, if not more, as the GOP.
Edwards is the only one that can win an election against the GOP
Kerry's a patriot, a true statesman and he is showing real courage, much like he did during and after Vietnam, by stating the truth about the Clintons and their despicable behavior.
For those who would like to diminish Kerry's role, " You can't handle the truth!"
Waa waa. John Kerry has no credibility. Obama, as Truman once said, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. Every statement the Clintons' make is exaggerated and distorted by their detractors. The Daily Show had a good take off on that last night, playing several actual clips of commentators exclaiming "Bill Clinton lost his cool with a reporter and raised his voice!!!" yadda yadda and in the actual clip Bill Clinton was calm and did not raise his voice one iota. There is about as much depth to the average talking head as a puddle. Obama would make a great Vice President, and if you want to cut off your nose to spite your face, vote for "we'll stay in Iraq for 100 years if we have to" McCain as the war continues to take precious lives and drain our treasury.
So Kerry is blasting the Clintons. I wish he had blasted the Republicans for the swift boating he took. We would not be in this mess right now. It is fair to question Obama on his record. He is pretty good at being agressive himself.
Hillary is still my choice.
Bill Clinton can get frantic all he wants and John Kerry can endorse the man on the moon, but that's not going to help get Obama elected...If the democrats are serious, they will look at their real candidate...yeah, that guy who's been ignored by the media...WAKE UP DEMOCRATS!!!
Mike are you LOU DOBBS?
The Clintons are honest about one fact, government will remain the same under their control. Obama, don't stoop to their level.
Mike, you're an idiot. I'm voting for a Republican. Dems are dreamers and do not relate to the real world. That's why we are in a war with terrorist as it is, because the Clintons wanted to ignore them and believe they would just go away.
I voted for Kerry in 2004 and proud of it. I'm sure those who speak out against him now are the same ones that voted for that winner that's currently in the White House. With this current administration, we're all losers! Aren't you all proud of yourselves?
If John Kerry had only displayed so much energy and vigor in his own presidential campaign, we would not be in this situation right now to begin with.
And endorsing Obama over Edwards (his former running mate) or Hillary is just a way to see his name in the news rather than on something like a ketchup bottle.
Guys, cool down, I have just begun to like politics more than ever before. What's the fun watching debates and speeches if there is no intensity in it! Politics got be little dirty in order to make it fun. I am enjoying it, Go Bill, go Hillary and go Gobama....go all the way and make it as intense as possible. I know who I am voting, but until that time comes, lets have fun...
LOOSER LOOSER LOOSER
Someone else said it earlier...Kerry should stick to what he does best...Loosing elections and putting his senate buddies to sleep.
The Clintons did more for African Americans than most people know.
The Obama's are initiating a race war and Opra's right there fueling the fire.
There was and is NOTHING about this race issue that comes anywhere close to benefiting the Clinton's but on the contrary, it sure does benefit Obama...AND THE REPUBLICANS! WAKE UP PEOPLE!
Vote for experience not race.
AND QUIT BASHING BILL. HE TELLS IT LIKE IT IS AND THE OPAMA/OPRA CROWD ARE TRYING MAKE OBAMA LOOK BAD BY HURLING THE POOP AT BILL.
WELL GUESS WHAT, MOST OF US KNOW BETTER.
HILLARY CLINTON 08!
All these people attacking Kerry.. who are you kidding? If he was running for re-election right now you'd all be singing his praise because he'd be the incumbent Democrat. Bunch of hypocrites.
Well, if John Kerry had more character and substance, he would have been able to win! Especially when he ran against a candidate that is not so superior in intellectual ability or knowledge! But again, Kerry and Obama have similar empty words! It is a good thing that John Kerry has a strong woman behind him otherwise he would probably be a no body!!!
Notice that the Democrats who are criticizing Bil Clinton (Kerry and Daschle)...are the very one's who were unable to effectively COMPETE against the GOP's dirty tricks. CNN as barred Paul Begala and James Carville from appearing on their political programs, because they are PRO HILLARY.
The fact that Obama ALREADY cannot withstand the rigors of the election process (generally, any scrutiny of his very thin record...), proves Hillary's contention that she is the candidate to take on the GOP.
I was initially for Edwards, but have switched to Clinton. Far from Hillary politicizing the issues, Obama and Edwards are attempting to stay 'above' politics, whilst going for the top political job in the world. Both Kerry and Daschle lost with this approach.
Go Bill!
I can conclude that the Democrats doomed! Another term of Republican presidency is ahead. Democrats are divided. Guess what? It will be easy for any of the republicans to run against either Clinton or Obama. You can't imagine Clinton running against republicans. You all know the fact. On top of that, Bill is messing it up. Obama won't win republicans either. When you read the above comments, Clinton supporters are Obama haters. No question about that.
As Mitt Romney said " I would hate to see Bill Clinton with nothing to do in the White House."
I think Clinton's have developed bipolar disorder ... it is time to quit politics and take rest. They have spoiled the ethics of election. People are not so dumb to believe their allegations. The more they blame Obama the more they are losing the votes. Obama becoming the next President is inevitable.
I agree with Kerry. I must say that I am more than tired of hearing Senator Clinton claim she does not want this race to be about gender or ethnicity while her husband brings up gender and ethnicity at every turn. I can't respect hypocrisy
Clinton is the luckiest person I have ever seen. He seems to get away with almost anything. It is amazing his charm still works on Americans. There are some who even wish the law would be ammended so he could run for the third time. Well, I think that wish is being granted. Bill is running again.!!! All Hillary has to do, is to be a figure-head. And Bill will do the rest!!! Go Bill, your nemesis is waiting for you at the finish line!!
Obama 08:
Oh, but it's okay to slam Sen.Clinton and President Clinton? Your comment sounds so plastic. Have a good weekend!
John Kerry – REPORTING FOR DUTY
And the wheel on the bus goes round and round....now Obama's wife out on the trail speaking for her hubby, just like Bill speaking for Hillary, and there's nothing wrong with this in his case right? WRONG! What is good for one camp and fair for one camp is fair for the other, so if you can't take the heat get out of the kitchen. I am so tired of Obama's constant whining and his constantly having others whining for him. His wife whines, Oprah whines for him, his supporters whine, he whines and HE HAS EXCUSES FOR EVERYTHING. To hear him speak, he never makes mistakes and could walk on water... GIVE ME A BREAK. The last thing we need is someone in the Whitehouse who cannot accept responsibility for his actions, who is incapable of making a decision good, bad or otherwise, and we sure don't need someone who can't stand up and be strong against candidates in an election with mud slinging. What would he do in a real threat situation? I am so tired of his image of being a uniter. Didn't George Bush claim to be a uniter, and look how well that worked out. Obama is a mess, unorganized, inexperienced, weak, and just not at all capable of taking the country in any GOOD direction of change.
Obama needs to quit acting like a victim and call off his whining supporters. He started this and the Clintons are only showing that he is not as pure as he pretends to be. He also attacked the Clintons on several occasions, smearing and manipulating the truth. Also, his campaign needs to stop making it about race. It is not. I wouldn't vote for Hillary just because she's a woman. I am voting for her because she is the best choice we have! If I thought Obama or Edwards were better, i'd be voting for them.
"Also when he was President black unemployment went down and black home ownership went up"
That is debatable at best.
If you look at the lower income bracket's, unemployment did not go up, and those that did i would say it was UNDER employment at best. Look at the number now...not then, becuase sustainable policy is what matters, not short term gains and band aid approaches.
Homeownership! Look at the mess we are in now. This predatory lending did not just spring up over night, this was started with Clinton, continued with Bush and here we are. African Americans were targeted for these ARM loans, to boast minority homeownership......shame on all who have been president for the last 20 years.
We need to break from the royal families in this country. Lets try some outsiders......
Thanks for speaking up Kerry.
Excuse me, John what?? KERRY? Ooh please can someone tell the man to shut it? What has he ever done to the African-Americans, Clintons are household names there... who knows him?? LOSER is the word!!! Swiftboat!!!
I thought that I knew Jonh Kerry and support his play form when he won the democrat nomination for president. No , I did not know this guy at all . He was a big loser and will always be with a loser like Obama. You vote for Hillary and you be smarter. Hiiiiilllllllaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy 4444444444 President !!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Hillybots will no doubt say that John Kerry is delusional or a tool of the "far right" or some nonsense.
The TRUTH is the TRUTH, and Obama NEVER SAID he "admired Reagan".
By the way, WHAT IS WRONG WITH LIKING REPUBLICANS?
Hillary HAS said on the record she admires Reagan.
We have to stop this DEMONIZING of opposite political parties.
It is NOT constructive!
Hillary has cleary demonstrated she is a DIVISIVE character and cannot lead in a BIPARTISAN manner.
IF THE ONLY "DIRT" THEY CAN GET ON OBAMA IS THIS COMMENT ON REPUBLICANS, HE MUST HAVE A PRETTY CLEAN RECORD!
Think about that. Hillary, on the other hand, is a treasure-trove of illicit activites.
"The Clintons did more for African Americans than most people know."
REALLY? Like WHAT? BE SPECIFIC. All this talk of "Clinton did so much for blacks" and "Hillary has done so much for New York" is very vague and nonspecific.
You can't MAKE IT TRUE just by REPEATING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
If Bill Clinton did not enter into the fray on the side of his wife Hillary then you and others would ask why not and criticize President Clinton for not helping his wife.
I suspect that Obama and his supporters expected to have the nomination handed to him once he threw his hat into the ring.
Obama hasn't even served one term in Congress, he served in the Illinois Legislature, where being elected was determined more by your district and the political party you belong to than the person themselves.
Even Obama's win as Senator was tainted, he ran against Alan Keyes who was brought in from out of State by the Illinois Republican party that was in disaray.
Let Obama serve a term or two in the Senate to confirm his claims, before we trust him with leading the nation.
Kerry
Look your self directly in the mirror, and say this and repeat at least 10 times:
"I am a loser".
You are talking about the truth. Just like Obama, you could never sort facts from fiction in your head. I am not sure how you got to the national scene.
We love clintons. Go Hillary Go
Kerry is a loser who imagines now he will get some advantage from Obama. Too late Mr. Kerry.
Hillary'08!
Dear Friends:
Where is my comment CNN? Freedom of speech! Constitutional rights!
Are you predjudice?
Democrats are childish, immature, and stupid. I bet if you had to use your real names you would be a little more careful in what you say. Gosh where are all the adults in the democratic party. Kerry has endorsed Obama so what that is his right. Democrats are losers all it takes is one butthole to say something ignorant and than you all fall in one behind the other trying to out think the previous poster. Stay negative, and weak sorry losers.
As a Republican, I'M LOVING THIS!!!!! Bunch of loser Democrats.
it's so sad to see how biased CNN is against the Clintons. When Michele Obama says something – she is great. When BIll
Clinton campaigns for his wife – he can't say anything right in their eyes.
MSNBC is even worse – Saw Andrea Mitchell today interviewing someone from the Clinton campaign and she was down right nasty and making snide remarks during the interview. What has the cable network come to –
They are supposed to give us the news not be biased.
Won't watch MSNBC and leaning toward not watching CNN either.
John Kerry criticizing Bill Clinton. Unbelievable. Kerry 's a has-been. EVERY politician out there stretches the truth or spins it their own way. CNN and the rest of the media should put a lid on it all except the issues. This mud slinging by every bozo is sickening. Please stop. Someone have the guts to tell me why it costs me $80.00 a week to get to work, why a pound of American Cheese is $6.00, why corn and corn syrup is being put into EVERYTHING causing the price of beef to go up because the cows need corn to eat. I want to see a headline that says, "DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE PROMISES TO BRING SANITY BACK TO U.S. SOCIETY".
Get 'im, Waffles! Gotta love Blue on Blue strife.
Kerry......which scores are you settling with Hillary Clinton and John Edwards?
lost total respect for Kerry, I question now whether the Swift Boat incident was correct and he made himself look like a "Rambo".
KERRY promotet OBAMA
and its not a surprise that
*** OBAMA IS KERRYS CHOICE *****..
I am a lifelong Democrat but I'm finding it increasingly hard to ever say that I could vote for Hillary Clinton. Her husband Bill and her have become increasingly small, increasingly divisive, increasingly lying.
Its reminding me of everything bad from the 90s. Frankly, I'll vote for Barack Obama.
What they call the "Clinton machine." Too many afraid to come forward against them.
It surprises us that Bill Clinton LIES? Yes, he lies. Let us not forget that he:
cheated on his wife on NUMEROUS occasions
lied and lied and lied, even after given the chance to come clean
disgraced the oval office, the presidency, and our country
modeled for our youth that oral sex is not really sex and is therefore "ok"
was almost impeached
Why do we give him credit for anything?
How can you tell when Bill Clinton is lying? His lips move.
what are the polls saying today because i can guess what `s hillary position on issues when polls up for change she is change when polls are up on war she is for war and when polls down against it she is against it, that is a real fairy tale president need be consistant on issues not piece of paper blown by wind all over
american be smart think outside the box
you have 2 other candidate that are much better obama or edward may be america have chance to move on forward.
god bless
Thanks Bill. Your wife almost had a shot at being president.
So, Obama is now being supported by the "status quo?"
The CLintons are habitual liars. Are we really suprise that they are resorting to twisting the truth? Status quo for Billary.
May I remind Mr. Kerry when he was running for President and Mr. Clinton was helping him he didn't think back then that he was abusing the truth. This is politics Mr. Kerry. Everything goes and its up to the voter how to digest what he or she hears in the media.
Kerry's big mouth has always gotten him into trouble and he hasn't learnt to shut it up.
20 years of Clinton/Bush do we want to 28 years of two family rule in America.
Bill is out of control and he needs to shut up.
Kerry should take a long walk on a very short bridge. Wow, what a loser. Go Hillary!
No Monsieur Kerry no! Teach Obama haw to win will be better. You hade one great President and that's Bill Clinton, naw you will have one historic President and that will be Miss Clinton, FIRST WOMEN PRESIDENT OF U S A, this oportunity america's peapel shuld not leave to go just like that, VOTE ALL HILLARY CLINTON and make a history. And with her put Amerika on the track.
As you seen in the picture the Former President campaignd for Mr. Kerry also. He is looser and he got booted to Bush. Why not he should extend the Campaig to his wife. Why there is a negative about that. I really do not understand the picture. This looser is not even supporting his running mate, this is the reason he might have lost.
Yeah. I have to admit here that John Kerry isnt the best supporter for Obama.
All the people 'whining' about Bill Clinton are Obama supporters within the democratic party. 3-5 guys whining when your membership base is HUNDREDS of senators , representatives and govenors isnt much at all.
If the DNC had a problem with it, it would have told Clinton already. They clearly dont.
Clinton has some pretty high profile folks on her side. This is why she is up 100 super delegates on Obama.
She has 10 govenors. Obama has 5.
She has the New York Times.
I dont recall obama having USA today or any MAJOR national newspaper.
She has the lead in every state except South Carolina (and presumbaly Illinois too) .
I just dont know about Obama's chances here. He wont win the Latino vote. The african american vote is only 12% of the country. The latino vote alone is 14% .
Anyways. We shall see on super tuesday.
John Kerry? You mean the guy who actually did lose the election to George W. "let's scare America to death" Bush, as opposed to Al Gore who lost by Supreme Court fiat?
What could Kerry possibly have to say that was of interest to anyone, other than Republicans, who are more interested in divisiveness than in the politics of inclusion?
Well, now look who is going negative. Now who is being divisive.
I am saddened that Kerry would not support John Edwards in his race for the White House. While I am not currently supporting candidate Edwards, I am very supportive of the entire field of democrat candidates and only wish them well. However, I must speak out on this issue as I believe that Kerry should have either supported his previous running mate or kept quiet. Edwards took a bashing for Kerry during the last election and potentially hurt his own political career in doing so. It is unfortunate that Kerry does not display the respect Edwards deserves. Good luck dems!! Oh, and please stop bickering so much as you will only harm your race and the party!!
Kerry wants to be Obama's VP? Then I'll be voting GOP if Obama gets the nod.
It's a steep climb for Sen. Clinton than Sen. Obama. Gender is more of an issue than race.
Kerry is a mess. He is flip flopping like a pancake. One minute he is with Edwards then next minute he is with Obama. He should shut his trap and let politics play out. He is just a sore LOSER...GO HILLARY!!!!
I still dont think he has a PAIR.He got ripped off in the last election and wimpered off like a dog and never challanged the Fix.
The Clinton's are using Karl Roves Playbook, divide to conquer, its not about race, its not about democrats, its about power, and the Clintons will cut your throat to get it.
Whats next: Jeb/Chelsie
You can bet that there will be allot more Senators coming out to endorse Barack Obama , because they remember the scandal's , white water , legal investigation , and SHAME the Clinton's brought to the "PEOPLES WHITE HOUSE".
They also know that Hillary Clinton is a sure loss for the Democratic party in the General Election because , the Clinton's have more trash in there back yard then anyone in American politics today.
Bill Clinton out there in the lime light has reminded the American people of just the kind of people the Clinton's are , and there realizing that a vote for Clinton is , a vote for another Republican in office.
" WE" The American people want our country and White House Back !
NO MORE CLINTON'S !
His comments would mean more if he hadn't laready came out for Obama. He is slamming Clinton in hopes of aiding his chosen one.
CNN = CLINTON
The Clinton big lies can't beat Republicans. Welcome to any idiot in this race for this America!
Kerry not supporting Edwards who he chose as a running mate in 04 because he "believed that he's ready to become a president if anything happens to him" AND not supporting Hillary whose husband campaigned hard for him??? THAT shows what kind of a character this loser is. I regret voting for him in 04 !!!!
Hillary and President Clinton have the guts to fight back unlike Kerry who kept quiet when the swiftboaters popped up!!!
HILLARY MAY NOT WIN SC BUT SHE WILL PREVAIL NATIONWIDE !!!
John Kerry is a disappointment to the Democrats party!
Please........... I am getting fed up to the teeth of all Obama supporters calling Cinton a liar.
This twisting of the truth by the Obama supporters to advance their own candidate is making me sick of listening to any of them and just wondering about the character of Mr. Obama himself who would allow all his minions to go and call candidates liars for him with twisted and baised facts to base those statements on..
How can the Democratic Party support people (the Clintons) who find it so easy to lie?
When Michelle Obama speaks, she talks about mostly herself and Obama. When Bill Clinton speaks, he talks about mostly himself and Obama. Bill Clinton she be speaking of Hillary, not lying and spinning distortions about Obama. This type of politics is straight out of the Republican Karl Rove play book.
Sorry John (Kerry), but you're going to lose again. Anyone that thinks every politician should be perfect should know that Bill Clinton heartily endorsed John Kerry in 2004 as evidenced in the photograph above. This writer did the same when every relative and neighbor disdained my support for Kerry and his wife. Perhaps he deserved the "swiftboating," and I know for sure he deserves all the criticism he's getting.
The Clintons didn't do much for African Americans or any other minority group in the 90s. Where is the proof? Honestly, what did he do for African-Americans that is so meaningful that you guys can't seem to get his name out your mouth? Higher wages?? Wasn't Clinton who helped signed NAFTA, which costs millions to lose their jobs and drive down wages for people who only had a H.S. diploma? That doesn't stimulate the economy. The only reason why everyone did well in the 90s is because of the big Internet boom during that time. And let me say this, Bill Clinton didn't invent the Internet. The economy grew on its own because of e-commerce, creating more jobs, lowering unemployment not because some President made it so. Just look at what's going on in Michigan right now, auto workers there are out of jobs because they now make them in Mexico at a cheaper rate. I'm not saying Clinton wasn't a bad President, I'm just saying the guy or his wife shouldn't deserve that much praise because when it all comes down to it, all we really got was some good entertainment when Bill was about to get impeached. Wait a minute? We're about to put back into the White House, the same family that almost got kicked out. Does this make any sense?
It doesn't seem that the former President needs to say anything after the interview that I heard earlier...it seems that ther's a lot more the the Obama slum lord story than Senator Clinton eluded too – look out Mr. Obama – it will all be out there soon!
I have heard Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and now John Kerry call both Clintons liars. In fact, that seems to be the only campaign message that Obama has left. I have not heard any of them dispute an actual statement from the Clinton's; they are just calling them names. Isn't that negative campaigning? Isn't Barack Obama full of it?
Clinton Supporters,
Go back and read the posts from your teammates about what Kerry said. You will see that without exception, there were responses in 2 categories: (1) Kerry is a looser or (2) CNN is biased and a junk-news organization. Not one is able to address the issues on there merits that Senator Kerry raises. Why? Because he's 100% right on the FACTS.
And yet we hear so often about how anyone who supports a candidate other than Senator Clinton must be "immature." LOL.
Kerry needs to stop whining about Clinton and to advise Obama to "stay out of the kitchen if he can't stand the heat"
General Election: McCain vs. Clinton (NBC/WSJ Poll released 1/25/08) McCain 46, Clinton 44, Und 6 (McCain +2)
General Election: McCain vs. Obama (Rasmussen Poll released 1/25/08) McCain 41, Obama 46, Und 13 (Obama +5)
JOHN KERRY HAS NO CREDIBILITY AND THE CLINTONS DO .. DID YOU FORGET ALL THE SCANDALS? .. THIS GOES TO CONFIRM THE ADD EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY.
John Kerry is a bitter loser who couldn't even beat George W. Bush...the least popular Republican president since Nixon. Hillary Clinton is going to win and be 1,000 times better as president than Kerry could have been.
Kerry you are such a loser!!!! You sat Idle while Karl Rove destroyed your own military service. Its easy to for Obama to claim someone is lying about him... buthe needs to address what the lie is... He hasnt because unfortunately for Obama these accusations are not lies. they are the sad truth... go back and finish your freshman term out in the senate and come back w/ experience in 8 years...
Mitt Romney hit a homerun with his comment,
'I can't imagine Bill Clinton in the White House with all that free time.'
Shades of brilliance
May I take back my vote for John Kerry in 2004?
What a traitor!!
John Kerry let us down in 2004 when he would not fight back against Bush. His word means little to me. He should have won that election. Now he wants to speak out. Sorry. Why would anyone want his endorsement?
Go Hillary
Uh Ben, I'm a bit confused. Name at least three things that the Clintons have "done" for African-Americans.
I added a coment from 2:30 and it has not yet been displayed! CNN did you not like my comment? Well here is another one. I will not forget what the Clintons have done for this country through their public service. If fBill Clinton wants to campaign for his wife so be it! What's the big deal? Elizabeth Edwards and Michelle Obama are doing the same thig. They don't get as much coverage but that's too bad. May the best man or woman win. Democrats we had better wake up! The Republicans are laughiing at us and licking their chops to take the White House yet again! I wonder if the idea to inject race into the campaign was Karl Rove's idea? Smart on his part. Well done Karl Rove you pulled one over the DEMS agaiin.
And we should be at all interested in John Heinz Kerry because..........................
He's a long-faced, hound who has turned against BOTH Edwards and Clinton. Also, ANY of the top three Democrat candidates can do a better job than the status quo. Is there any other turncoats endorsing candidates?
Someone wants to be a vice president
His name starts with a K
And by the way, to all you Oprahbama-ites, plenty of us Hillary supporters will also be voting Republican if Oprahbama is the candidate for the Dems!
For all the Clintonistas spouting the line that "Obama is negative too," congratulations, you've been a tool and are being manipulated by Mark Penn and Howard Wolfson; that's precisely what they've tried to do the past 3 weeks is to drag Obama as far into the mud as possible so that people would say, "see, he says negative things too."
Senator Obama was never negative until he was dragged into the muck but the B&H tag team. Just as anyone would do, he's not going to stand by and let a former President lie about him.
As the saying goes, campaigning against the Clintons is like wrestling with a pig. You both get muddy but only the pig enjoys it.
John Kerry is correct and doing a service to the country to point out that former President Clinton does not have a license to abuse the truth. Here we might remind ourselves that the former president was often far less than truthful during his years in the White House. Indeed, we might wonder how truthful Senator Clinton has been during what she regards as her 35 years of experience. For example, we might ask if she really did just find those files pertaining to White Water Gate on her desk and have no idea how they got there?
I hope that the voters will recognize the Clinton's as politicians whose abilities attract many and whose character flaws repulse many others to the point where they contribute to the polarization of the country. I hope they vote against the Clintons.
Well done Kerry, the Clintons work mafia style, and someone has to teach them that doing the right thing transcends personal interest. The Clintons are conduncting this campaing as a personal affair not as a country need. Thank you for put them in their place.
John Kerry is a loser and he should just shut up. If not for his imcompentent campaigning Bush would never had been re-elected.
Kerry's just lobying Obama for the VP spot on the ticket. Wait for it. Obama/Kerry, I can see it now. God help America.
How can you tell when the Clintons are lying ? When their lips are moving .
Sen. Kerry is just upset because he chose NOT to fight back 4 years ago....Had Bill Clinton fought for him as feverishly as he's supporting and fighting for Hillary, Maybe Kerry would have won....Kerry is a baby that couldn't stick up for himself and now only went to support Obama to tick off Edwards....who by the way blamed Kerry for losing the 2004 election by NOT STANDING UP FOR HIMSELF!!!!
If Kerry had half the spine he is displaying now, he could've responded to the Swift Boat campaign...but he didn't and now he gives advice to others. Too funny
What a jerk, Clinton was there for Kerry in 2004 like no other. But, who really cares what Kerry thinks.
It is obvious lot of these comments are coming from Clinton campaigners and staff, keep it up, this democrat will make sure Clinton will not get 10’s may be 100‘s of vote.
Give it up imposters Clinton is too old for the problems and issues we are facing today. It is like asking your parents to fix the issues at your high school while you where a teenager. See that is a FAIRYTALE
I can't believe my party(democratic) is going to blow another election by electing Hillary as the the democratic candidate. No way can she beat McCain. Obama on the other hand appeals to more independents, and could easily put away any Republican candidate. I for one, would never vote for Hillary Clinton. I'd rather abstain, or vote for a 3rd party. But never, never, never would I vote for Hillary Clinton.
I see a trend here. In general, the Clinton supporters are agressive and negative (similar to their candidate). The Obama supporters seem frustrated because they can't understand why anyone would continue to support a candidate that has shown such reprehensible conduct. What would you tell your children if they were caught lying to get what they want? It sounds like some of you would probably reward them for that behaviour. Maybe that's why we're in such a mess in this country.
Some things never change. This isn't anything new.
This is the kind of man we need as vice prez. Yes dont be surprised by an Obama/kerry ticket. Obama has been very civil during this whole fray only defending himself when he needed to. Of course the mans not perfect but Obama is the best we have in america to be president. The clintons have LOST EVERY SINGlE OUNCE of ResPecT from me. I AM AFRICAN AMERICAN AND I BELIEVE IN BOTH OBAMA AND AMERICA>
Geez – what kind of president is NObama going to be if he needs to get John Kerry to fight his battles?
We've already endured 28 years of Bush/Clinton in the White House. That's already longer than a hefty list of British Monarchs. Our forefathers endured weeks on ships with little food and water just to avoid such a system. Look at us! We're about to vote for a system that our ancestors and soldiers have given their lives to keep us away from. No two families should every be so powerful in a democracy. ANYBODY BUT BILLARY '08, but preferably Obama '08
I'm so tired of the Clintons, did we not had enough of their scandals the first time around! And, honestly do their actions surprise anyone? As a repbublican I'll vote the party line if Hillary is on the ballot. Put Barack Obama on the ballot and I will consider voting for him as the next President of the U.S.
Did someone say John Kerry? yawwwwnnnnnn...........
Who cares what Kerry thinks? He's going to end up hurting the Obama campaign with his big mouth.
Dont you people understand that Hillary is not electable. Average independents will not vote for her over McCain. If you want a Republican vote Hillary. Sorry it is a fact. Obama is the only hope for Washington to change. Hillary will be more of the same. We have had 28 years of Bush and Clinton in the Exectutive office and our country has less and less ground to stand on. No MORE!
Real change = Obama
John Kerry is now endorsing a candidate other than the man he chose to be his VP running mate in 2004? Just when I thought he could not possibly lose any more credibility....he does.
John Kerry!!!!!!!!! so you are still upset that it was b/c of Hillary's comments when you mispoke about the America'n soldiers in Iraq that you had to shelve your 08 bid for the presidency???? Lets wait to see the next millionaire that you will propose to.
I am ashamed of John Kerry since Bill Clinton supported him. If Bill doesn't support his wife, what man is going to back her up for this very important task to run our country. Olbama simply doesn't have the experience, & they both do, even though it does hurt. It has to be difficult for a husband to stand by, & see how nasty people can be to his wife, when she has done so much for our country, & he too. Wake up John Kerry, & swallow your pride. Thank you.
Kerry is the KING of FLIP FLOPPERS...
With this race I see how America needs help... The smart America long time dreamed is over. Can anyone help this country to get out beyond the obvious.
Please Obama why did you insulted your intelligence by joining these liars????
Well said ANDREA!
"As the saying goes, campaigning against the Clintons is like wrestling with a pig. You both get muddy but only the pig enjoys it."
Bill Clinton needs to take a break to cool down.
The type of campaign the Clinton's are running goes against the very core of all that I see Obama is. Observe Obama...He is intelligent, uses wisdom, truth, and respect in 'all' situations. The tone of his campaign resonates who he is and how he leads....the way he leads is to be admired. His record of integrity & what he has accomplished coupled with his clear ideas and plans for our future, and his being so consistent in the admirable way he leads is what I'm noticing . Obama is getting my attention as his real concern for our country is rising above the Clinton's (concerned, too, I'm sure, for our country) tactics to win.
Not that I care what John Kerry has to say, he became irrelevant when he lost the election, it’s nice to see someone calling out Bill Clinton and the Clinton campaign.
As a young person I don’t know a world without either a Bush or Clinton in a position of power. Bush Sr. elected as VP when I was a toddler, then 8 years later he’s president. Follow his 4 year term with 8 years of Clinton, then 8 more of Bush Jr. That’s 28 years of Bush – Clinton, to we really need to tack on a minimum of 4 more?
Hillary’s out there claiming that she’s got 35 years of experience. Stretching it a bit there when she was elected for the first time in 2001, and spent 1977-1993 as a corporate lawyer. And does being a first lady really count as “experience?” Are you allowed to tack on your spouse’s experience as your own, because if you can I’m practically a CPA. Anyone trust me to do their books?
And as an African American I can't see why I "should" blindly support Hillary. She wasn't elected when times were supposedly better for us. Bill was and he's not running (though some times it's hard to tell). Can't have two presidents and Bill seems pretty set on getting back into the White House.
We need a change, no more dynasties in the White House. I’m a staunch Dem. but if she wins the nomination I’ll be seriously considering the Rep. nominee (and praying it’s McCain).
Shut it kerry
Now I lay me down to sleep, I HOPE my slumlord will keep me in heat and not CHANGE his mind and UNITE the money with Obama for another stump speech!
It kills me to read people will vote for McCain if Hillary is the Dem nominee, what a load of it, who do you folks work for, Republicans or Obama?
Anyone who will vote a war enthusiast like McCain who is just an older GWB is kidding no one!
America is broken at home and abroad and the Republicans want people to believe Bill will roam the halls of the Whitehouse doing nothing, give me a break, Bill is very well respected in the world and he can do plenty to repair America’s with other governments! The mess the Bush and Dick show caused at home and abroad will see a much faster resolve for America with the Clinton’s team than any other candidate! Those who think that the Republicans are scared to face Obama are blowing smoke up a hole, they will rip him to shreds and Obama has proven he will sit there and take it just like Kerry did!
I am glade to see Kerry, speaking up. its about time. how easy we forget about the damage Mr Clinton has done. Does anyone or they are just stupid forgot how Mr Clintion lied to the country, under oath. Now if he can do that. he will lie about anything, the sad part is . Hillary is apart of him if you stay in the same mud with someone long enough you are just like that person. I fell we will be sorry, if she gets into office. i WISH SOMEONE WOULD SPEAK OUT. IT LOOKS AS CNN IS TRUNING ON Obama. i wounder why this country is in such bad shape.
Thank-You.
Jeanie W.
"......not have a license to abuse the truth....."
I never thought Clinton told the real, honorable truth ....just told his own truth which we all learned was not the truth.
During Bill's time as president – with the lies and deceptions he fed us – and his wife standing by him – when she did not leave him when he left office, I lost all respect for her and when I see/hear her lose her cool in the debates, when I see her shed tears – respect is still gone and if I cannot respect a person, I cannot believe in the person.
When I look at how Hilary presents herself – I feel so deeply that I do NOT want her sitting in the White House. When I hear Bill talking on her behalf – I do NOT want him there helping her run this country of ours. I actually fear what night happen if they are in the White House because we all know they will be in there as a team. I felt the same fear last go around when Bush was running – and when reality hit – I knew my fear was valid.
Kerry's opinion does not matter. He does not know what is up or down unless someone tells him. He didn't make it the first run..........duh....that's a no brainer. The fact that he turns on a dime....watch out Obama.........that's a no brainer. As I stated earlier Kerry's opinion does not matter.
This comes from the man who, during the 2004 election, said kids should make sure they get an education "so they don't end up in Iraq." Mr. Kerry isn't exactly a Rhodes Scholar, is he?
BOTH Clinton and Obama are "stretching" the truth. For example, Obama did say that the Republicans have "been the party of ideas," which Hillary stretched into saying he supported those ideas. Obama has done the same thing to Hillary. None of these are acutal "lies," but it isn't necessarily the "truth" either.
The biggest lie out there is when one of the candidates (or their surrogant) pretends like they're innocent of being negative. Grow up Hillary and Obama - you're acting like Republicans!
They have a license to abuse the truth when they're campaigning. They have a license to abuse the truth while they're President.
Most of them DO stop abusing the truth after they're done... but then, most of them don't have a strong self-interest that compels them to lie once they're out of office and on the gravy train for life.
A smart man like Obama can work effeciently anywhere! Why did he joined US politics dominated by big lies and big money without real people interest. Obama deserves more that being insulted by some idiots because he went in thiss race.
Go Obama Go.
it is clear that you are president in waiting and new dawn for United states of America.
I really can't afford it and I dislike Mr. Obama's socialist agenda, but $25 is on its way to help him fight against Billary. We've had 16 years of lie after lie after lie. We don't need 4 more or god help us 8.
Please, just GO AWAY Billary. Go back to cattle futures and book advances and snapping thongs.
Correct me if I'm wrong, being a Canadian and all..... I understand Obama is running for the democratic party nomination, I even understand Hillary is running for that too. But I don't think Bill is, even as self centered as he is.......
I would love to hear from Gore and who he supports. Even though he was Bill's vice president he never got any support from them when he ran for president. Probably because he would have gotten in the way of Hillary's and Bill's aspirations of her being president. The Clinton's thinking of the national interest, I doubt it, more likely just thinking about themselves........ Again.
KERRY HAS EVERY RIGHT TO TAKE ON THE CLINTON SAGA. WE DO NOT NEED THE CLINTONS ANY LONGER. LOOK AT WHAT THEY DID FOR THE USA'[[[[[[[[MADE US LAUGHING STOCK FOR THE REST OF THE WORLD TO WATCH BILL DO YOU EVER THING SOMETHING OF THAT MAGNITUDE
WILL GO AWAY........I DONT.....NOW THE WOMAN OF MANY FACES WANTS THE JOB.........THE PEOPLE HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE CLINTONS........ JUST GO AWAY
America
Be very afraid of the Clinton and Bush family rule in America. This dynasty must come to an end simply because it didn't work in Great Britian. America is becoming a Monarchy. When two families have controlled this nation for 16 years, and then there are those who blindly want to add four more years on the Clinton regime, I'm afraid, very afraid. Wake up people!! It's time for a change. I'm voting for Obama not becuase he is black. He's simple the right person for the job and that's the bottom line. The status quo must go. One man doesn't make the office of the presidency so stop using excuses that Obama is not ready. The country is run, the Excutive branch, the legislative branch, and the Judiciar brach. This is what makes up the presidentcy.
Bill Clinton lying?!?!?
how is this news?
There was a time I was very undecided between Sen. Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. The more the Clintons are attacked, the more sure I am I will be
voting for Hillary Clinton. I do not believe it's the Clintons making an issue of race. They have always been for the black people - Should Obama be above criticism just because he is black? Should President Clinton not be allowed to speak up for his wife as all the other spouses do because he was once president? I am a democrat but I will not vote for Obama - and I was once a fan.
...and Kerry always tells the truth!. Have you ever seen an honest politician? I don`t think so.
I do agree that President Clinton has been a little moody lately, but listen to what he says. He gives solid facts. Why is it Sen. Barack never has any facts to defend himself with? All bickering aside, Sen. Barack is a great guy but now is not his time. America has huge wounds to heal and Hillary, like it or not, has the experience and will power to bring Americans together to heal these wounds. I have lived in Chicago for four years and really liked Obama until I started watching the debates. He never seems to answer a question. He elaborately dodges the question. He's great looking and very inspiring, but we need a president with experience this time around.
Anyone saying they would change there mind from Voting Democrat to vote Republican better get to stepping dont let the door hit you on the butt on the way out we dont need your sorry butt.
The Democratic party stands for turning around this mess the Republicans and ignorant Administration of George W. Bush. If you dont get that then take a thick stick and beat yourself with it tell you do. Look around everything that was a positive from the Clinton years has been screwed by the Bush years and War.
We had so many Higher paying jobs and the deficit was paid and had huge surplus. You could open a news paper and see job after job and not low paying jobs but really good paying jobs.
If you are stupid enough to think others will vote with your republican buddies who have screwed up the economy the War and just about anything you can name that important. Blame yurself if you vote with them hopefully you lose your job first if you vote republican,
If you want to win and turn things around for the better Vote for Hillary in 08 she can win and will with our help. Democrats Independents and Republicans United behind a winner.
Hillary in 08 "Ready on day one!!:
Make no mistake, Bill Clinton is running for president again. People should wake up. This is pratcially a violation of the law. Are we really going to put a president that has already served two terms BACK into The White House?
Its amazing to see how the media continue to feed the public this type of nonsense and it gets eaten up with a shovel. First the talking heads get embarrased by the polls in NH then they continue to bring in the race card and now they are calling it "negative" when you ask someone "RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT" what their record is?? Are you kidding me America!!?
No wonder you got Bush last time. WHAT about the issues? Isn't anyone concerned with substance and who can right this global catasptrophe that started with the weak US market? The world wat you Americans to elect a doer, someone with a track record of success not fancy speeches..STOP listening to this type of "National enquirer type" coverage.. Im a Canadian and we like the rest of the world need a Strong and prosperous America! We are counting on you!
Kerry, my name was on your email list for 4 years, but I removed it the day I got the email that you were backing Obama. I make my own decisions on who I will vote for, and your endorsement meant nothing!
Bill really blew it for me as well!! I totally agree with What Nick Nas said in His Post!! I Use to admire the Man, and His Actions really blew me away!! He should be ashamed of Himself Period...... Maybe some New changes regarding spouses and FORMER PRESIDENTS SHOULD BE PUT IN TO PLACE!! Can You Imagine what the Rest of the World is thinking ???? Shame on the Clintons.. !!!!! I am so thankful I am a Member of the Green Party !! Myrna Ulrich, Cross Plains Wisconsin
Al Gore spent 8 years in the White House with the Clintons. He has not endorsed Hillary. That speaks volumes.
I agree with the ny times obama is bright but he would not konw where to begin.
When I say that Kerry will turn on a dime....watch out Obama....next he will endorse Hilliary Clinton. His word is meaningless.
Go Hillary!!
Thank you, Senator Kerry.
Kerry slapped Edwards in the face with his support of Obama. Must be looking for what? VP?
Thank you for expressing such profound integrity Sen. Kerry and taking a stand on what's right.
OBAMA 08
To all the hillary supporters lying that they will vote republican when hillary loses the nomination, dont worry obama will do awesomely well in a general election because independents and some disgruntled republicans will make up for the numbers, voting in record numbers for obama, and most of hillary supporters now will vote for him too, once the full truth about the clintons is exposed and they realize that hrc doesnt really care about them, she only cares about her familyin the white house, and winning at any cost!
I felt sorry for Kerry when he lost to an idiot like Bush and now after four years, I sorry for him again, it's just a different sorry this time. Poor Johny, can someone put a pacifier in his mouth, he might just cry again?
Kerry is a loser, he's had his chance an blew it. Let someone else have a chance and keep your opinion to yourself
billary is a two headed monstar, i think they both know what they are doing and it's just a test because obama got this, just stay the course they are only turning off people like me "voters" and who cares about the voting present, to me that just tells me he's not going to rush into any decision. does anyone know how i can get anderson cooper's autograph????
Bill Clinton not telling the truth? I'm shocked!!
Bill Clinton: you are dividing the democratic party in your hunger for power.
Republicans in their debate are using the lines that you and Hillary are putting out there.
Your wife geting the nomination, is the only way we can loose this slam dunk election. Hillary as a candidate is the ONLY thing that can unite the Republicans in an election when none of their candidates would otherwise have a chance. There's only one thing they all agree on: They hate Hillary. With Hillary as the alternative, you could get a even pro-life evangelicals to vote for Giuliani!
You need to stop! I have lost all respect for you. If you continue, you will no longer be remembered as the great president that you once were.
The question is why hasn't AL Gore backed his former Bosses wife? He's won the Nobel Peace Prize and still didn't make an endorsement. He should have first hand knowledge of the 35 years of contributions from Hillary...then again maybe that's why he hasn't endorsed her....Sounds like we should be listening to the Silence folks.
Go OBAMA!!!!!
Bill and Hillary: both are political hacks and are using this political system to spread lies for their own personal agendas. They are the heroes of the ignorant. Let's Rudy in there to finally clean up this mess.
How does one "abuse" the truth? Either something is true or it isn't. I think Sen. Kerry is upset about President Clinton's opinion and perspective but I don't think Clinton is "abusing" the truth.
Well, I am an Independent and was leaning toward Obama, but bringing Kerry in to fight the battle (for that "together" reward?) has turned me off. Kerry apparently doesn't get it that turning his back on those who have previously supported him (both Bill Clinton and John Edwards) belies a character that implies that the Repbulican's "swiftboat" charges might have had some merit. To be honest, I was already turned off, because Obama, who claims he can unite the country, hasn't done much to promote unity in his own party. All he needs to do is stop the backward volley of accusations and criticism from his own side. If he could demonstrate the ability to reign in the overzealous in his own camp, he would show me that he is truly capable of leading this country in the right direction, but I am losing hope.
Will someone please primary John Kerry?
Kerry has a huge set to come out and say these things about the people that supported him in the past. In this atricle he does not even say what Bill said that was incorrect. He most likely hopes Obama selects him as VP, that is the only thing I can think of.
Two for the price of one....Go Hillary!!!
Chris from Staatsburg
Paul Williamson:
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, these people will never admit this and will not vote for her. Hillary will always be a target because she represents the Democrats best chance to win back the White House. I think we will commit political suicide if Obama gets the nomination. Makes you think why Obama gets favorable news coverage - even from Republican commentators. Joe Scarborough is always
praising Obama and putting him on a pedestal–every chance he gets. Joe is a Republican. So is Pat Bucannan but at least Pat remains objective and neutral unlike Joe and Chris Matthews.
Hey, ACT
How old are you? 18-19? Until you've lived a little and raised children, don't begin to think you fully understand the way the world works.....By the way, the Untied States is not a high school....this is big people stuff.......
FYI Age to Vote is 18
Clinton supporters are negative? Obama supporters are frustrated? First, I wouldn't believe most of these people who write here. However, Clinton supporters in what I have noticed, do not resort to calling Obama names, bring up his marital situation, and call him nasty names. I can not same the same for Obama(?) supporters who have called Hillary everything under the bridge. Why are so many people scared of this women. I have researched her past,her record, and she is not EVIL. As for this continued re-write of history, Clinton never attacked Obama until she was attacked by him and Edwards, weeks before Iowa. People need to do their homework.
Once again we see there is very little the Clintons won't do to win. What I really find amazing is the number of people who can't see "IT'S ALL ABOUT THEM". Frankly, they turn my stomach. Americans always claim they want to get the crap out of politics, and then they fall for it HOOK, LINE, and SINKER. It's actually pretty sad....
I just had a very scary thought. What if Hillary won the nomination and then picked Bill as her VP runningmate. I think I'd leave the country.
Notice how the Clinton machine immediatly attacks Kerry. Just the way they attacked Reich yesterday.
They use the same tactics as Karl Rove, if you don't like the message, attack the messenger.
JOHN KERRY IS A TRUE LEADER! HE IS STANDING UP FOR WHAT IS RIGHT!!!
Guess who is looking for the VP spot? Hmmm – I wonder Kerry will do anything to get in the White House, even if it's only for dinners. What a turncoat - it doesn't matter who backed him when he ran for office.
That's right, the Clintons are playing dirty, if we had John Kerry in office instead of Bush things would we a lot better. But that swift boat nonsense hurt him. Those veterans that did that aren't real patriots. Obama is not perfect but he is better than any man or woman running. It's better to be positive then negative like the Clintons. I was a big supporter of Bill Clinton but he has tarnished his image. I think Obama will be able to unite the Country instead of other people constantly trying to divide it. Thank you Kerry for being a real patriot and speaking your mind.
Obama should be very careful having John Kerry's support. Bill Clinton campaigned for Kerry and Edwards was his running mate. It appears Kerry has no loyaty for either of those men, so I hope he treats Obama better!
"Truth" from a Liar! How Ironic....
Back in 2004 the Clintons did not want John Kerry to win because Hillary would have waited 8 years to get her shot at the presidency. Which by then she would have been 64 with less chance of winning. Now for Kerry it's payback time.
I'm as liberal as they come, but I agree that Bill and Hillary will say and do ANYTHING to get back to the White House. They represent everything that is wrong with American politics. My mind can not comprehend and my stomach can not take another 4 years of hateful politics and partisan gridlock.
I pray this election is the one where all Americans finally stand-up and say "ENOUGH." We need a uniter...
Oh hush up John Kerry! You had your chance and blew it to someone who can't properly pronounce "N U C L E A R". Bill Clinton is supporting his wife just like the other candidates' spouses. There seems to be a double standard but I love how the Clintons are dismissing the criticism. What I have realized in this campaign is how sleezy people can be! Kerry didn't endorse Edwards and I think this was very low, it actually shows Kerry's character so it's no lost for Edwards and certainly no gain for Obama. Secondly, I think Kerry is bitter because another Clinton will do something he couldn't do! Hillary Clinton, you have my support all the way and we are cheering for you! I do think this is a plot by Obama to have a "top ranking" Democrat (if you call Kerry that) to attack Bill...hahaha...It's not working Obama! Everyone knows Bill Clinton's administration was progressive and successful but why am I talking about Bill?! It's about Hillary trashing you in the primaries and becoming the nominee. She has depth, experience, vision and GUTS! She is a strong woman ad the best candidate.
This is coming from an African-American male in New Jersey.
Hillary Clinton for President !
Bring the troops home and make us great again !
Bill Clinton abusing the truth!! No way.
Libs did not complain when he lied for years while leading their party, they knew it all along and stood in line right behind him.
Wake up America, we can't afford to be Clintoned again.
Who cares what Kerry has to say, is it his bill and hillary's fault that you did not become President, Bill was your friend as long as he could help you campaigne. What a hipocrite.
Go bill you and hill are the best medicine for what ails America.
Mr. Kerry,
Thanks so much for endorsing Obama and taking jabs at the Clintons, now Hillary is a shoe in for the nomination....cause nobody likes you!!!
That's how Kerry pays his debt and gratitude by turning his back at someone who helped him during his run st the presidency back in '04. i mean, for God's sake john kerry is a slimeball that doesnt know how to appreciate the help he was given "coz his a cry baby" and has his own personal interest that's why he's standing up for something he knows he wopuld only benefit from. Get A LIFE john and stop being a good guy coz everybody knows your not even good enough to be in your position if it was not for money!!!
When we democrats tear each other apart, the Clintons win.
Hahaha ha ha ha ha.
Those (lyin') chickens are coming home to roost.
Wow – Kerry would not stand up to W but he is standing up to Clinton. Nobama better not link his future to Kerry – it didn't work for Edwards. Go Hillary!
I voted for Kerry in 2004. But I cannot understand his criticism of Clinton. I think Obama camp started this whole mess when they saw an opening in South Carolina and tried to exploit it using the race card. Kerry, I think you have to be little more honest and factual in your criticism of Clintons
it seems a lot of you forget that Kerry won the election and it was clearly stolen from him (and us). And you need to get your facts straight, Kerry never flip-flopped on the war. He voted for it when the war was to be paid for with oil profits, then voted against it when they changed it to American taxpayers paying for the war. Ask yourself why was he voting twice on the same thing?
Please someone tell this looser to be quiet & sitdown?
he skipped endorsing edwards for a good reason, john is always too angry, he thinks going to washington with anger is the way to go, we need common sense and good judgement, we need obama, we need to change washington! edwards needs to take his mindless ramblings and anger to a boxing ring! America doesnt need him, he is a flip-flopper and goes with the wind, taking sides with hrc during the debate, what a sellout! i thought hrc was the establishment he wanted to tear down? hypocrite, willing to do and say anything just to taste power in the white house!
CNN IS A LIAR TOO
VA Democrat January 25, 2008 3:12 pm ET
"Geez – what kind of president is NObama going to be if he needs to get John Kerry to fight his battles?"
Geez – what kind of president is HILLARY going to be if she needs to get Slick Willie to fight her battles?
If Slick wasn't playing the lightning rod, and ranting and raving, and being the egotistical, lying jerk he always has been, her campaign would have been in the toilet after NH.
Don't you love politics. Just a few short years ago Kerry was extremely happy to have Bill by his side campaigning for him. Accepting all of the benefits that came with President Clinton's status. Giving the thumbs up, the back slapping, the speechs. Fast forward a few years and you have the ripping apart, the tear down and the big mouth, and back stabbing comes in to play. The new person comes to town. That person has the potential to be the new MEAL TICKET, so better latch on. Gotta love politics.
AS A FORMER PRESIDENT, THE WAY WE RESPECT BILL CLINTON, HE SHOULD RESPECT US, THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA. BILL CLINTON SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM UNWARRANTED AND UNRESPECTFUL ATTACKS AGAINST B. OBAMA. BILL CLINTON IS NOT A PRESIDENCIAL CANDIDATE. HIS FREEDOM MUST HAVE A LIMIT. HE HAS ALREADY LOST SOME CREDIBILITY AND WILL LOOSE EVERTYTHING IF HE CONTINUES HIS UNRESPECTFUL ATTACKS AGAINST B. OBAMA, HE SHOULD NOT DO IT AGAINST ANY OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
IT SEEMS SIMILAR TO JOHN McCAIN, AGE IS AFFECTING BILL CLINTON ALSO.
I am furious at John Kerry who I contributed to in 2004! I even gave to his fund for the attorneys to sue the "Fixed Bush" election......and he never commenced with the attorneys!!!
What a TRADER & LIAR he is!!!
Well as the old saying goes "Birds of a Feather Flock together"!
Kerry LOST................AND SO WILL OBOMBA.... (get it.....O bomb a)!!
GO HILLARY & BILL!!!
GOD BLESS THEM & KEEP THEM STRONG!!
Kerry is the most opportunistic plastic politician around...next to him and John Edwards, I'm not sure who is more of a fraud.
It all depends on what your definition of "is" is...
KERRY NEEDS TO KEEP HIS LOSER-MOUTH SHUT –
HE ALREADY LOST US 1 ELECTION
He was not complaining when Pres. Clinton campaigned for him in 2004, was he?
Perhaps I shouldn't be but, I'm a little shocked at the nastiness of the Hillary Clinton supporters posting here. Should these people be allowed to control the future of the Democratic party?
Kerry is irrelevant, his endorsement actually will hurt Barack Hussein Obama.
Furthermore, all this talk about Obama being able to "unite" Americans is hilarious, and disingenuous at the same time. Yes, he could "unite" Americans, as long as those who disagree with his socialist nanny-state "ideas" align with those who already are on board the income redistribution express.
Obama is an empty suit, a poser who has no business even running for President. Of course, for that matter, neither does the shrill harpie Hillary Clinton, who has never run anything in her life, perhaps excepting a dysfunctional marital agreement.
It is funny to me that everthing the Clinton's say is racist, but Obama and his wife can say it , and it is okay. John Kerry welcomed Bill's support when he needed him , So now he is a trader. It is all aabout Hillart being a woman, so go out and vote women,, Let's show them what women can do.
I wonder, could it be that Kerry is suffering from a case of "Sour Grapes"? As to Edwards, perhaps it's a situation of ' since I lost the election, I'm sure as hell not going to support my then running mate' .
Kerry needs to keep a low profile, he can only kill what he touches. He was a disaster as a candidate, he lost the easiest and most important election in US history, and his support of Obama only hurts him. This barb against Bill will come up in the general election and hurt Hillary's campaign WHEN she is the candidate. Obama is not going to pull out of his tailspin at this point, and neither will the Democrats. McCain is already president, we just have to wait and see who he picks for the Supreme Court, that's the only question at this point. 2012.
Bill Clintion needs to stay out of it. I mean he's holding forums on "behalf" of his wife. He thinks he's running for president. He just wants to get back in the white and he'll be the first president since it became law to be in office more than 8 years. I don't have anything againse Bill, in fact, I voted for him both his terms, but I see him more than Hilary. I understand he is the former president so the media will always have him on camera, but I also think he puts himself on the camera a lot of times to get the attention. I'm a democrat, but this is the reason I won't vote for Hilary if she gets the nomination, because she fails to stand up and set herself apart from her husband. If I can't trust her to stand up on her campaign then I refuse to trust her to run the country because it will be Bill running it, not her!
Wow! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
Kerry really ought to learn to keep his mouth SHUT (as should President Clinton). Neither have any credibility anymore and both have been proven time and again, liers. ENOUGH ALREADY!
as a free american john kerry is free to endorse anyone.. he does not owe anybody anything. to accuse him that he,s betrayed anybody is very foolish... he never signed any pact with edwards or the clintons. so its normal for him to back the clintons and edwards but betrayal to vote his conscience... hypocrites.. i,ve said it another republican victory is possible.
What do you expect.....Clinton abused the truth and morals while he was governor of arkansas and president of the country. The thought of having him and her in the white house again nauseates me.
Bill Clinton has shown his true colors: Grey hair, red neck and white trash. He is acting like a ward boss in Chicago in distorting the truth rather than acting as a former president.
Mrs. Clinton is just Mr. Clinton's pupet. Obama is running against Bill.
Attaboy Herman Munster!! Keep "helping" Obama !! Way to go!! Keep up the back stabbing!!
Nothing like getting pointers from the last loser
He is a looser . Who care what he talk and whom he endorse. He has no loyalty. Do american voters care for this looser i bet even his wife dont care.
What have the "Clinton's" done that you people keep talking about? Its all media hype and has little truth and even less fact. If that makes me part of the Clinton Machine, then I am a darn proud member. GO Hillary. SC loves you.
The Hillary's should take a brake. Give Obama a chance to win for a change
Whine whine whine. That’s all I hear from Obama’s campaign. Oh, yes, and the race issue. Is this will be our next president?
I cannot say I am a fan of Kerry but my hat is off to him this time. I wish the Clintons would just go away. I live in New York and Sen. Clinton has done nothing for our State. Unfortunately we have to put up w/ the people who live in the big cities who love what she stands for and both times voted her in as our Senator. Fools!!!!. She talks about experience....what has she accomplished? Obama needs to nail her on this and so many other things.
Thank God, I change my email address from last year, else I have to read this moron's lies.
Now, he has a spine to attack his fellow democrats now while he was spineless in 2004 against the GOP. Spineless idiot.
And funny thing, this guy has the gall to using lies or fudged the truth to attack clinton alleged lies. I am sorry I gave money to this spineless moron in 2004.
What a loser! Obama is mad when people attack his wishy washy cam paign for CHANGE. How can you expect to bring change while he was Illinois state senator, he did not know his friend of 15 year, Rick Riozo, built a slum housing in his own district. He cannot provide the people in his own district a decent housing, how can he expect to change in DC? How can we trust his judgment when he made that "bonehead" land deal with Rich Riozo.
I still vote for Obama if he got nominated unlike some of those losers who support Obama who rather see the evil GOP presidency than Hilary. Grow up
Hillary is gonna get the nomination, if those losers want to see another 4 years where 47 mil American have no health care coverage, tax cut for the rich 1 percent, continuing war in Iraq that costs more lives and trillions of dollars, go ahead Vote GOP loser.
Can't believe I voted for this loser in 2004, what a waste of a good vote. Clinton bent over backwards to help this guy and this is how he repays him. Well John, why don't you just shut up and disappear. You had the opportunity to speak four years ago when it matter, but you didn't. No one cares to hear you now so just disappear. Aren't you running for reelection this year, I hope the voters of MA wake up and kick you out. Any other Democrat but this loser..
Dallas Guy who's threatening to vote GOP if Hillary is not the nominee,
I thought Clinton supporters were the "real" Democrats. What a farce.
Actually, come to think of it, Mitt Romney is the only candidate in this race who is more of a fake than Senator Clinton. So, perhaps he'd be a good person to throw your vote to. If it's Senator Clinton against Governor Romney, whatever is one to do? Who's the better looking pander-bear?
Thank you so very much John Kerry. You speak for many frustrated sickened voters, those of us paying attention, who do our political homework,who dream of better days and better ways. I hope your voice cuts through the Vegas fire story, so that voters can hear truth from a credible source before they vote. I have more respect for you than ever. Thank you for your honorable service to this country. Thank you.
Wonder what John "the Loser" Kerry is hoping to gain by injecting himself into this race for the Presidency. Someone ought to tell him that he lost once, and that is enough for America. What is his motive?
Kerry is such a loser ... and so very disloyal.
I wish there would be less petty squabbling and more issues related to people.Of course, Mrs. Clinton is the most qualified so she should just let Obama be angry and shrill. She doesn't need to respond to his attacks! He's just frustrated, because he knows he can't win!!!!!
Hey, when there was a Surplus in the american economy I didnt see you talking Clinton trash! Now think about, what have you heard bad about Obama, oh wait, the media is too scared to say anything, he might cry!!!!
John please sit down. While you're right in this instance much more perniciously you have attempted redeem your long record of falsehoods by portraying the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth as liars. Thus your term 'Swiftboating". Amazing how your construction of this term turns the truth on its head. Changing truth into lies and lies into truth. Magic. With a healthy infusion of propaganda from the MSM you may actually succeed. One hopes not as this further degrades the health of American political discourse.
The whole thing is "very unfortunate" for the democratic party because many Independents like myself are pretty much done with the democrats this go-round.
The Clintons havewreally turned me off of the democratic party...AND I WAS ACTUALLY INTERESTED...BUT NOT NOW.
Guess what?
Gore, Kerry (former close friends) and many others know the truth, so the American people should wake up to the Clintons non-sense.
By now everyone should be quite sick of the Clintons!
You watch, Kerry will vote for Obama before he votes against Obama...
Go Hillary!
Who is Bill Clinton??
I am not voting for the Clinton "s"....................
One is just as wishy washy as the other.
Their appearance together is a farce.
I get a kick out how Democrats suddenly appear dismayed and distressed to learn Bill Clinton is a liar. Welcome to the party. Now, if a goodly number of you will simply have the decency in November to keep these two from becoming, once again, the Distractions-in-Chief in our national life, everything will be fine.
Oh come on! Kerry is a jealous loser! He lost and has never got over it! May I use the words of his wife, Kerry should "shove it". Maybe Kerry is hoping for the vice! Hmm!
Let the two deocratic factions fight itout for themselves without someone elses 1c (which by the way was worth more when the Clintons were in power) worth of input/FUEL (could buy more of that per gallon in the 1990's)!
Trying to get back into some kind of limelight John Kerry after LETTING Bush win the 2004 election? Mister Obama, what really is thsi change you have stipulated? What do you have to show and give to this saturated country? Your words show no action or credibility! If you were of another race would you have got this far? THINK people, don't take face value liek you have always done....America wake up!
How can anyone say electing Hillary Clinton will result in no change. That's ludicrous. If she's elected it will be the biggest shakeup that Washington has even known. She's tough, she's got heart, and she's smart. She should win the presidency because of these qualities- it doesn't matter that she's a woman- she's the most qualified. Obama's idealism is also important for the process- but he's just not as sharp as Hillary. The debates tell it all.
I like McCain too – he's honest. However she's got more of what it takes, except for the military background, to be a great president.
And as for Bill- don't take off the gloves now- this is an election.
Shame on you John, They worked on your behalf and this is how you pay them bac. I voted for you but I would never ever again.
Shame on you John, They worked on your behalf and this is how you pay them bac. I voted for you but I would never ever again.
WOW !!! John Kerry where is your loyalty?? You asked Bill to campaign with you and then throw him under the bus. They have always said keep your friends close but your enemies closer. I know where you would be.
Go Hillary 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!
John Kerry – how scary – Mr. Flip flop himself. I just never ceased to be amazed by people's stupidity. Who cares who Kerry endorses? Obviously, the man is full of himself but who cares? As far as Barack goes, oh Lord, please help us if he wins! Talk about racism reversed! All the people with the hands out attitude sure will be pleased.
to all of you "MORONS" attacking Kerry for saying THE THRUTH remember, bill "I did not sleep with that woman" never got over 50% of the vote in 92 or 96!!!
Humm, all that butt kissing, me thinks someone is looking for a VP bid. I don't know if I would want Kerry on my side after the last mess he made.
No matter how much you argue "Slow and steady wins the race.."
Hillary has been campaigning since 2004..
obama is "empty vessels make more noice"
Go hillary...
Obama's campaign is founded on distorting his own record, dodging the issues and hiding behind this empty "change" banner. Small wonder that he enlists the support of John "Waffle King" Kerry.
It's a strange day when I find myself agreeing with John Kerry but yeah, Bubba needs to get back to chasing skirts, saving the world from itself, and catching naps in church.
JOHN KERRY, look in your mirror and REPEAT THESE WORDS THREE TIMES A DAY:
PRESIDENT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
PRESIDENT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
PRESIDENT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON
If heart palpitations occur, consult a cardiologist.
Bigdawg,
They spew out this crap and they don't intend to back it up. Clinton had to address the lies as Obama is the media darling and they continue to treat him with kid gloves and not delve into his past or ask about important issues.
Obama is one of the tailors who swindles the Emperor into appearing naked. Hopefully the majority of the people see through this rhetoric and nonsense.
Obama has done more to hurt the Democratic Party than anyone I can think of by using the race card and others to spread his smear campaign. He uses the same tactics as Rove. He is not a uniter as he says in his speeches but a divider just like Bush with his "Patriot" card used to suppress questions he didn't want to answer.
Charisma is also something used by very evil men. History teaches us this. This election is too important to follow someone using cult like measures. We might as well vote in Tom Cruise than Obama.
John Kerry got money from Rezko too. What a chump Kerry turned out to be. No wonder he lost. Also his speech writer is now working for Obama. Boy, it didn't work for Kerry.
This life-long Democrat is totally disgusted with the Clintons' tactics and lying. They will say ANYTHING to win. I will not vote for them if THEY get the Democratic nomination.
Clinton’s attack changed my mind about Obama. Obama is too good to be true. Something like crossing party line and moving politics into another level will never happen in a town called Washington DC. If you really want someone who can do something good for democrats, you need a person like Clintons, tough, dirty and willing to do whatever it takes to win. Kerry is a dreamer, too elite and too soft. Obama is too weak. If Obama could not take Clinton’s attack now, how could he take the attacks from republicans?
Ben, Columbus, Ohio January 25, 2008 1:05 pm ET
As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz.
Typical liberal – "what have done for me"? And what has the Clintons done for you. Welfare reform? Yes, thanks to the conservatives. Here is a good idea, do it on your own, you might like it. And time to grow up.
And not one thing the courageous Swiftboaters said about Kerry were ever proven false. EVER.
Kerri has just now found his voice. He couldn't stand up for himself, he is totally irrelevant.
Kerry is spineless loser and I wouldn't trust the Clinton's with walking my dog.
The clinton's are bulldogs. they will stop at nothing to bill a dynasty, idiot bush, idiot bush, immoral clinton, immoral clinton. are the american people so very stupid, have they forgotten the clinton years, the man was impeached!!!. I don't want hilly billy to stop, let them continue, that way dems like my self would not vote for the likes of them, and yes I said them, because Obama is right he is running against the two of them. what a disgrace, they made the country a laughing stock around the world for eight years, and they want to do this all over again, like george the idiot did not do enough. I WILL NOT, WILL NOT VOTE FOR HER IF SHE GETS THE NOD. no wonder the children are doing so poorly in american schools, compare to the rest of the world. Your loyality to the creeps are dumfounded, I cant believe what I am seeing, wake up people.
Kerry, shame on you. You should used your brain more to win 2004 election but you lose it. Now you start to talk again. I think you're the one who need to send to Iraq war because you don't study hard !!!!
President Clinton is probably one of the most effective and likeable Presidents in modern American history. His achievements are many and the people of America know this. This was illustrated when Hilary was behind in the polls and the minute President Clinton got involved there was a measurable change in Mrs. Clinton's campaign numbers ... for the positive.
There is nothing wrong with spouses helping in these campaigns as we can all see the toll they have on all the candidates. We saw it in the eyes of Hilary when a supporter asked her how she was coping. This is a hard process!
One thing we all need to be clear about however, is that we are NOT electing Bill Clinton for a third term. We are electing Hilary for her FIRST or me for my first just like President Clinton was elected for his first ... and he came out of no where and did very well for two terms. It wasn't fantasy, fairytale or a dream ... he made a difference.
If Mrs. Clinton's numbers shifted positively once Prseident Clinton got involved because of the efforts of Hilary, then I have no problem, but if it was because of President Clinton, I must remind everyone again that we are not electing him to a third term, even if I would agree this would most likely be a positive thing for America, it is not reality.
Support from spouses is inevitable as long as we all understand that we are not electing my wife, Mrs. Edwards nor President Clinton to a third term.
Let's keep this positive and real. Let us all respect the process and may the best person win, for the betterment of all of us regardless of race or the things that make us different. Let's find our commonality, let's find the things that make us one.
My name is Barack Obama and I want to be the next President of this great nation we call the United States of America.
Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath.
Doesn't anybody remember that?
For all you folks who relate dirty political tricks to Karl Rove, I have news for you. The politics of personal destruction was invented by the Clintons in 1990s when BIll Clinton first ran for President. Where was Karl Rove then?
This campaign is just more of the same and should illustrate well just what the Clintons are and always have been – amoral narcissists who will say and do literally anything to get power. They pose a clear and present danger to the USA.
The Clintons are not going to get my vote, now or November. I am disgusted at their way of suppressing a newcommer in the Democratic Party, Obama.
Hilarry would do anything to get elected! That includes destroying every shred of respect and credibility that her husbant had in the eyes of so many Americans (democrats or not) – myself included!
I agree there should be some rule against former presidents campaigning and launching dirty attacks on behalf of their wives, family etc. If anything like this would have happened in a third country – say, Argentina, do you know what our press would have said? The "US is a shaky democracy, under the control of the Clinton and Bush polical dynasties, who do not hesitate to use dirty tactics to trash their opponents during elections" Or course, I am convinced US is a great, strong democracy. But we really don't need the Clintons and their political tactics again!
Kerry is nothing but a WIMP that is why he lost the race in 2004...Couldn't even defend himself against the Swift Boat ads. Now he's picking on Bill. Hmmm is Obama maybe looking at Kerry as his running mate if he gets the nomination?
While the Democratic GOP's are bickering at each other , they need to try to stick to the topics at hand. We don't want to hear things about the other candidates personal issues, we want to hear what they are going to do, if elected. So please and I do mean please, stop down grading each other and try to be civilized people.
Don't sweat it Jim, even an analog clock is right twice a day. Perhaps it's so obvious it's nearly impossible to dismiss Clinton's behavior. I do wonder if he would have the moral character to condem the ex-presidents actions if he was on the team. Clintonian politics is never dull that's for sure.
NO RESPECT FOR BILL CLINTON OR HILLARY!!!
THEY CAN KISS MY BUMPER.
THEY WILL NEVER GET MY VOTE. I WILL VOTE FOR A TOAD BEFORE VOTING FOR THOSE LOSERS.
yeah kerry might be a loser but at least he doesnt cry in front of cameras and bad mouths a state for not voting for him!
Obama has a better shot at beating a Republican than Clinton – this is coming from a "moderate" registered Republican. I would vote for Obama, I will vote for anyone other than Clinton. I'd put W back in office (I just threw up a little bit in my mouth) before voting for Hillary. Hillary has it easy, if she wasn't to say something disrespectful she just has Bill do it... The Clintons are shady... can't be trusted.
To our African American colleagues;
What exactly did the Clintons ever do for African American voters? Didn't Bill make the biggest entitlement cuts in history, essentially undoing the last of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society initiatives?
What they have done so magically is convince every ethnic group in America (with words not deeds) that they were soley responsible for every civil rights act since the American Civil War.
I love the acrimony in these posts. I was expecting something like this to happen, but feel free to tear the party apart yourselves. People like Kerry and Bill will take care of everything for us republicans, and we will have another four years in the white house. Except this time around it will be a little more blissful. Stir that pot, shoot yourselves in the foot, here come the elephants for another 4 years.
WILL ANYONE PLEASE TELL ME HILLARY'S, BARACK'S OR EVEN BILL'S POSITION ON IMMIGRATION?? IT IS NEVER BROUGHT FORTH IN ANY DEPTH IN THESE DEBATES.... SOMEHOW THAT IS PURELY BY DESIGN. I AM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT AND JUST THINK IT IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE..
Way to Go John, it is about time the leaders of the democrate party call these buffons ( the Clintoons) what they exactly are – the most unthetical, lying, and desperate goons the USA has ever seen. Hopefully more of your collegues can show the guts you just have – I doubt it though – they are all scared of the Clintoon Machine that will destroy everything in their wake.
What has Bill Clinton done for blacks that hasn't been done before? As far as I am concerned I owe Bill or Hillary nothing. If he loved blacks so much, why did he allow thousands of Rwandans and Liberians to die while he was president? He was a beneficiary of an overheated economy that was fueled by the dot com boom; of course that's why he had the luxery of balancing the budget and thus neglecting the safety of the United States from terrorists. I'm not going to be sold on the Clinton kool-aid. GO BARACK!!!!,GO HUCKABEE, GO MCCAIN, GO EDWARDS!!!!!!!!! Anyone but Hillary
The idea that former president Clinton is standing up for his wife against the Obama attacks is laughable. If he truly respected his wife, he wouldn't have been running around behind her back. I actually admire former President Clinton for the positive things he accomplished while in office, but he can't play the protective husband role. It rings hollow. Put the gloves back on and encourage the candidates to speak to the real issues: health care, diplomacy, and the environment.
KERRY IS A FOOLED AND A LOOSER. HE HAD EVERYTHING TO BUSH BUT HE WAS SO WEAK THAT HE CAN'T FIGHT BACK. KERRY IS RESPONSIBLE OF ALL THE MISERY THAT COUNTRY ENCOUNTERED.
If John Kerry spent half as much time attacking Bush four years ago as he does attacking the Clintons now, he'd be up for re-election today. I find it amusing how Obama and his backers can applaud Reagan but diss Bill Clinton. Comparing Clinton unfavorably to Reagan and Nixon? Brilliant campaign tactic Obama; that's going to win you brownie points with Democrats.
Talk about dividing the party!
"...the voters can see through it...."
Methinks he gives the voters far too much credit.
Bill has been abusing the truth all of his life!
Sorry John Boy you had your chance to be relevant, but YOU would not stick up for yourself and look where that got all of us. Maybe if your wife had jumped in on your behalf the world would not be such a mess?
CNN is a looser chanel. Their report got blasting from Bill Clinton , so they are going crazy with them.
If OBAMA's wife campaing on his behalf u put praise her like something great but if bill clinton does the same you report against him.. stop doing that .. we can see whats happening
ENOUGH ALREADY......John Kerry you should be a shamed of yourself ...have you forgotten your own presidential race and how your spouse defended you!!!! She had a big mouth too... Your loyalty and support is misplaced.
Like anyone cares what Mr.Heinz says.Talk about hippocrits!He begs Bill for an endorsement on his presidential run,then stabs Hillary in the back.I think he's looking for a W.H. job in case Oprama wins.It's the closest this moron would ever get to the Oval Office.Unfortunately,the Opramites think this is a good thing.Go figure.
Bill Clinton, a man whom I used to greatly admire as an icon and role-model, has disappointed me TERRIBLY!!!
The American people took it for granted and made a huge mistake by pointing Al Gore, a true leader, to the exit...and look what Duby's done to the country!
This time around; I sure hope they have their eyes peeled and ears wide open!
The Clinton supporters kill me....they attack anyone that disagrees with them. Amazing how more and more of the Party establishment is coming out against the Clintons. Face it folks.....they ARE dirtbags. One poster said he wouldn't trust the Clinton's with walking his/her dog....I wouldn't trust them with the poop bag either.
Swiftboating somebody in your own Democratic Party! Bill Clinton, you ought to be ashamed. It just goes to show- you two will do ANYTHING to get elected!!!
When John Kerry was attacted by Bush, he was such a good listener that he did not bother to respond. Is he trying to get even for his loss to Bush by attacting Bill?
Kerry couldn't win against the draft dodgers Bush and Cheney even though it has been documented that they lied 935 times about Iraq and as a result thousands of people have been killed and injured and has cost our country billions of dollars.
It looks like a lot of you are "swiftboating" Kerry again! Way to go!
SOMEONE GOTTA SAY THAT IS THERE IS KERRY. THE CLINTONS ARE SO ARROGANT. THEY THINK THEY HAVE A BIRTH RIGHT TO BE PRESIDENT.
LIARS
Bill Clinton is unconstitutional.
The power he is flexing right now is exactly why there is a two-term limit.
I have no party affiliation; but I don't remember anyone complaining when Bush Sr. came to Florida to support George Bush Jr.; or when G. Bush Jr. came to Florida to support Jeb Bush. The talk around here was just as aggressive as Mr. Clinton's.
Get real, politics are politics, and it will not change now.
Get on the real issues people!
Does anyone even care what Kerry says? The Dems hardly had a choice but to select him as the nominee in 2004. Kerry couldn't fight the good fight then, and now it's just hilarious he's suddenly able to do it for Obama. Maybe because Obama doesn't know how to fight his own fights either. These two are quite the pair.
surprised both canidates are not talking much about universal medicare for the country.. We have it here in Canada and it works well..No one is left behind.
Looks like Kerry is looking for a future position in the fairy land presidency of NObama...
Same ol' Kerry. Lots of bluster, never any facts. What are these truths that he is abusing?
Did you ever release those military records? Whose medals did youthrow over the fence? Did you ever actually respond to the Swift Boat veterans' charges?
How about this – just shut up and go home to Terrrrrrrrresa. We don't care about you any more.
Ben – What have the Clintons ever "did" for you?
Well said Senator Kerry. Bill Clinton and Hillary represent the "old" establishment, well known for its lies. Furthermore I don't think the American people want Bill Clinton back in the WhiteHouse, not even as the first spouse.
Could some please explain to me what it is that Bill Clinton did for black America, other than exploit and use us for political gain. What specifically did he do to help
African Americans while in offfice?
I sincerely hope that Kerry does not end up being a liability to Obama's campaign.
Senator Kerry, it takes one to know one! Neither one of you two has any value in the truth what so ever! Kerry lied his butt off about his Viet Nam service, and Clinton continually lies his butt off, just like his wife does. Hopefully, after Hillary gets her butt kicked in the election, we won't have to hear about the Clinton Crime Family anymore! And a question for the Black Americansm just what, exactly, have either Clinton EVER done for the black community! The answer is use you for your votes, and that's it! They are the plantation owners now!
This could be the crack in the dam. Everyone knows the type of person Bill Clinton is, but until his left wing buddies and the mainstream media turn on him and finally acknowledge his lack of moral character, he will continue to get away with his outrageous shenanigans because previously his targets have all been Republicans or erupting "Bimbos". Those targets were okay, but they don't like it when the gun sights are on them.
I am not sure If I can trust kerry. He showed as that he is thankless who back stabbed Edward and didn't apprecite support clintons gave him. He should have stayed out of it. He is not anyone big so he should kept his open trap shut.
I supported Kerry but now I wish he would just go away and if he can't do that then I'd be happy if he'd just shut his trap. He adds absolute zero to the political fabric.
Hey, I voted for this loser, John Kerry. So happy we do not have him running anymore. Does anyone wonder what his motive is? Is he still pissed over losing? If so, what does he expect to gain from his interference in this campaign? Come Super Tuesday, Hillary will hopefully have become the national nominee, and this guy will forever be gone from the political scene.
The Clintons are liars. That said, you Hillary supporters are asking for another 4 years of the Bush administration. Gee, their lies never hurt anyone...
Jyh1920 and others:
Every heard of this....."anyone that's without sin among you should throw a stone at her."
Kerry is aloser, thanks for giving us 4 years more of Bush, wimp. Now he's not running he's going to act like a tough guy, haha, laughable. Bill would eat you for breakfast, and this is my senator
Both Clintons talk out of both sides of their mouths. Kerry is right for pointing out another swift-boat incident, heck he experienced it first hand.... I expect it from Repugnantcans, but not from Democrats.... Both Clintons are despicable and they always have been. I hope that Obama knocks out Clinton and takes the nomination (even though I was hoping for Edwards). Good luck Obama!
More people in the Democratic establishment need to speak out as John Kerry has just done. I voted for Bill Clinton twice. What Bill Clinton is doing now is a complete disgrace. I am closer on the issues to Hillary Clinton than I am to Barack Obama. But there is zero chance that I would vote for Hillary Clinton. Barack Obama is clearly a person of tremendous character and integrity. Hillary Clinton is not. This is a woman who thought nothing of ruining the lives of any woman romantically linked to her husband. She does not deserve the support of women for that reason alone. I look forward to voting for a woman someday for President. But Hillary Clinton does not deserve to be President. Let's look ahead with hope instead of looking back and being involved yet again in the politics of personal destruction. Democrats need to say "enough" to the Clintons and throw their support to Barack Obama.
Bill, let it go. I have lost all respect for you. The true Bill is shining through. The wifey stands by and let you play bulldog. Put away the wicked finger and write another book, or do something. Are you telling the American people that they are going to get two presidents for the price of one? I think a Bush ,Clinton, Bush. Clinton Presidency is frankly too much to take. You are turning me into an independent. Before I vote for Miss Hil, I'll write in the name 'Kermit The Frog.'
This perjuring piece of feces should be in prison. He commited perjury. The impeachment wasn't about sex - it was about perjury - despite what the democrat loving press claimed. Hillary lied to congress about her billing records - that was also perjury.
Love all these Kerry critics attacking his record – who would just as easily sing him praises if he had endorsed Clinton. Hypocrites and liars, just like your candidate.
Ben, Columbus, Ohio You said?
"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz.
The Clintons have done nothing for you but hurt you. I am married to a Black Man, a Democrat, and he knows the real truth.
To a previous post: Its "loser" not "looser."
To those that thought Kerry was a wimp in 2004, here he is standing up to the Clintonistas. And good for him, too!
But he should be saying a lot more, because we all know, deep down, that the Billary machine did more to harm his chances in 2004 than help. Anyone thing they were setting themselves up for Billary in 2008? If my old drinking partner could see that, then the rest of us should as well. Bill Clinton and spouse are the worst things to EVER EVER happen to the democratic party.
Bill Clinton has not done as much as a lot people think. He gave the riches people in America more than a 8% tax break in 8 years in office and so far G.Bush has only managed to give them 5% in 8 years. Then he sent a lot of jobs off shore as well.
Tell me what he did for black people I really need to know ? It is time for change and this is a good time to make it.
That's right, the Clintons are playing dirty and should be made to pay for it.
The sad part is that Obama just might win.....and if he does he will stand no chance against the republicans when he dosen't have the media (specifically Matt Drudge) to defend him. Oprah can only carry him so far. Avoiding real criticism can only go on for so long.
The truth is the Clintons are criticized for EVERYTHING they do....he has been a master at avoiding this for a while now and mark my words, the truth will come out soon enough. Obama has skeltons in his closet (or the Republicans will create some) and he will have to learn how to play the real game of politics. Its time to move from the kiddie pool to the deep end.
GROW UP OBAMA!!!!!!!!
The Clintons have got to be pissed-off at Kerry for endorsing Obama, when they endorsed Kerry in 2004. And poor Edwards just got dissed from his running mate of 2004. Kerry understands America is hungry for a politician like Obama, and he is impressed with Mr. Obama.
Hillary and Bill are trying to get Obama off message by inappropiating linking him to Rezko's illegal activities. Obama's response should come from his campaign and be swift and to the point. It only hurts Obama more when he and the Clintons go at it because the Clintons have a stronger hold of the Democratic Party. Obama is already getting support against Bill Clinton for leaders in the Democratic Party. Let the party surrogates handle Bill Clinton, and he should stick to running against Hillary, as the agent of change and Hillary as the status quo.
HELLO,
ANY DEMOCRAT TELLING THE TRUTH IS TOO CONSERVATIVE FOR HIS PARTY-ASK JOE LIEBERMAN, ANY REPUBLICAN TELLING THE TRUTH IS UNELECTABLE-ASK RON PAUL- WITH THE LOT OF FOOLS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT NOW, I SAY GIVE GEORGE BUSH 4 MORE YEARS(:
If Hillary did chose Bill as VP I think it would be a landslide Victory for the Democrats so huge that it would go in the history books. That would be an excellent choice to stomp the Republican Candidate whoever it will be down. Which we are going to do anyway no matter who runs against our Democratic nominee "Hillary Clinton" We Democratics Independants and Republicans who have seen the light.
Hillary will of course chose Joe Biden as VP or Possibly Al Gore!!! It wont matter because whoever she picks us as Democratics Independants and Republicans who have seen the light will support Clinton.
Clinton in 08
Attention disgusted Democrats: Come on over to the "real" party for America - the Republican. How much more of the Clintons can you stand? And you think Obama is a viable choice? Hillary and Barack have been trying to "out-program" each other - it's just funny money now to GIVE America all these billion dollar programs – what's a few more billion in deficit spending!!! ??? Lord, please give us a leader who knows economics and will cut back on spending and expect people to do SOMETHING FOR THEMSELVES!!! Everyone wants the best of everyhing, the most expensive material things today!!! If we'd all just live on what we EARN instead of spending MORE than we earn ... we'd have money, we wouldn't get into financial trouble, we could afford our OWN INSURANCE! We all can't have what Paris Hilton has - it's clockwork orange today in America - buy it BEFORE you have the money. Let's live within our means - buy what we can AFFORD!!! Don't expect Uncle Sam to bail you out if you made a bad mortgage decision!!! I know the industry - the mortgage lenders "disclose" the details of those buy-down mortgages that can escalate and they tell you how much and when!!! It's the law!!! Full disclosure is the law!!! If we sign a bad contract, we have to live with it!!! America is broke - we can't bankrole you!!! Help us Republicans ... GO MITT ROMNEY – 2008!!!
John Kerry's presidential campaign was destroyed by the lies orchestrated by Rove and company. Kerry chose the high road then because he thought that people would realize the "swiftboating" was a bunch of lies. It did not work. Because of that experience, he advised Obama to fight the lies being told about him. I'm not sure that was the right choice either. However, you need to remember that Hillary and especially Bill Clinton started this mess. They are ruthless campaigners. Also, please remember that a number of ranking Democrats contacted Bill and advised him to tone it down. Michelle Obama's speeches are not anything like what Bill Clinton is saying. Comparing the two is like comparing apples and oranges. However, unfortunately, the Democratic Party has always been known for the ability to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
John Kerry can all that now, but when he was campaigning he never said Bill Clinton was abusing the truth. Just because you lost doesn't mean everyone is looser like you. Just enjoy your wife money and let those who knowns politics do the work. Obama or no Obama, NY Times has spoken and that is the bottom line.
Kerry is always putting his foot in his mouth .First he slams Edwards his VP candidate then he slams Clinton who campaigned for him many hours and raised thousands of dollars for he .He's a sleezebag !!! Kerry needs to go swift boat some more !!!!!
guys,
1. remember that people hear wat they want to hear and the clintons know that.
2. bill is not a racist but sometimes does not tell the truth, but obama is standing in their legacy. anywaz, they love black people, but won't allow anybody regardless to overshadow their dreams.
3.The media loves to hype things and this is one of those were they just can't help it.
4. kerry is doing this because he has endorsed obama and has to say something coz obama might lose. By the way white people can still vote for a black man just like Iowa. That should still make the country proud.
5. I love Bill and Obama, like Hillary coz of Bill and I don't care who becomes the nominee. But am disappointed, as a former president, to take a stance like his doing. maybe the media wanted him to lose and he had no option.i also like Huckabee.
Democrats have to unite to undo what has been done the last 8 years. Democrat's Independants and Republicans will elect Hillary in 08
Hillary in 08
Kerry is just blowing air because he was not able to get the response the Clinton's get and he lost the last elections to a guy that has to be the DUMBEST individual on earth that is alone breaking this country economic status. More jobs have gone out of the country overseas to places like India during Republican terms than any other.
We already know Clinton did a fantastic job while being in office. He let the country in good economic status, with no deficit, and with even a surplus in the coffers. Leave it to the Republicans to come and spend money which does not belong to them and take us into a senseless war which many of us will not have the luxury of seeing end, at least not in this century! Now, that same idiot which was placed in office by the Republicans, is trying to expand his war into Iran. Obviously, Bush will not be happy until he sends this country into oblivion by his actions.
Does anyone really know what economic state we are really in? Or is anyone cognizant of the fact that the dollar is becoming worthless? WAKE UP and SMELL THE ROSES EVERYONE, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! Republicans will not take us out of the hole they have dug us in! Only CLINTON Can do that!
One thing is certain, if Clinton is the nominee the republicans will win in November.
I am a democrat-leaning independent. I will vote for Obama. But I will vote straight ticket republican if the democrats think they can throw up a candidate like Clinton who has displayed a lack of integrity and win.
I want to vote for someone who is a true leader. Someone with vision, honor, and integrity. That is Obama. That is definitely not the Clintons.
Clinton's 35% support from people who would vote for her no matter what is not going to be enough to save her in November.
There is a minimum of 10% of the population who support Obama and who will NEVER vote for Clinton. That is reflected once again by the latest poll showing Obama doing better than Clinton against McCain as the nominee.
Kerry is hoping that if Obama wins he will be called to be the Vice-President. I am a Vietnam Veteran and Kerry is a PX soldier.
John Kerry was too much of a wimp to stand up to the Republicans in 2004. So now he attacks Bill who is not running for anything. What a loser!
Kerry was for abuse of the truth, before he was against it.
It is funny how these clowns think we are mice that will follow the piper. This is the year voters are looking for somebody who separates themselves from those dirty politicians, endorsements just help us voters see through these crooks.
John Kerry is a loser that couldn't win a sure thing in 2004. He would screw up a two-car parade. I'm glad that he endorsed Obama, but he'll probably flip-flop and endorse Clinton later.
I just love how the koolaid drinking lieberal bedwetting moonbats will swallow the lies from these two serial co-dependent abusers and blame everyone else for their lies.
My hope is that there will be enough vomit expelled by normal Americans when Thunder Thighs gets the nomination that she'll lose in a landslide victory for Romney.
Its amazing that a guy who could not stand up for himself when he needed to
is now critizing someone who did stand up for him.
you ignorant clinton supporters CNN is not responsible for the former president BILL clinton makes himself look bad . bill clinton has done nothing positive for blacks except for signing into law legislation that is responsible for more blacks receiving longer sentences and the reduction in welfare that devastated some blacks. only a few prominent dems have come to obama's defense too little to late.
"Courageous Swiftboaters?" They courageously cashed their checks from Bush's '04 campaign, paid for not having the capability for abstract thought. Those guys would have courageously pimped their own mothers for KKKarl Rove & Co. as long as they got their $300 from the tax cut. Hey, Skippy, what'd you do with yours? Start a small business? Go on vacation? Thanks for your courageous stimulation of the economy and invasion of Iraq. It's your fault, not Bush's.
it's amusing to watch the democrats screw up a majority and destroy one another from the inside out.
almost as funny as watching bush destroy the entire republican party.
who cares what John Kerry said? That wimp could not achieve his dream now he thinks that he can win wiht Obama...what a jerk!
Anonymous wrote: "Clinton supporters are Obama haters. No question about that."
Lol...yeah..its funny. They will end up expecting the votes of Dem Obama supporters (me included) if Hillary gets the nomination. So the Hillary 08' folks will come to people like me and say...'oh sorry about all that swift boating, its just politics (nervous laughter) can you please pull the lever for me now?
Um...NO! Not if you are going to continue to be a polarizing candidate.
If you dont stop bashing Obama in posts like this, you are going to lose our support. To a lesser degree, Obama supporters turning 'Hillary hater' would be wise to do the same. They need each other for EITHER of them to win. Unite Dems.... Now!
Hillary and Bill, please stop burning your bridges. You may get the nomination, but actually lose votes in the process. With a 47% national favorability rating, you cant afford to lose a single vote.
Kerry:
" Obama,Obama, can I be your Vice President"
Kerry needs to shut up! We don't need an uppity negro in the Whitehouse and the Clintons are just the folks that will keep the negros in their place. Go Hillary!!
Ah, Schadenfreude!!! Watching the Democrats reveal that they have always been what they always claim the Republicans to be! Now we know why they are so ready to believe the worst about Republicans – because the root of projection is knowledge of one's own sick soul.
Hmmmm.....who can trust the Clintons......why should we vote for Hillary when she stands for everything that she argues against......on the executive board of directors for Walmart......who didn't want to cover their employees with sufficient health care and worked them as pure slaves (by the way, isn't she the "lets get all Americans sufficient health care" queen).....and now there is a photo of guess who.....HIllary and Bill and the famous "slum lord".....well guess who is in the bed with the slum lord and on the board with the world's biggest slum employer "Walmart"....Hillary, please shut your mouth and stick to discussing what's good for America....because all you and your husband is doing is killing our Democratic party with this foolishness, with your power struck egos.....chill out!!!
Am I the only one who thinks that John Kerry...he served in Vietnam you know...is angling for a VP nod from Obama?
give me a break kerry dont talk about bill hes my heroe now and forever
Hey John Kerry, why the long face?
what an irrelevant guy. He is so shallow. He lost to Bush and he now has the gull to attack Bill Clinton, who by the way campaigned for him.
I wouldn't trust Kerry with a barge pole. Obama can have him.
Hillary 08
John Kerry needs to stay out this. He doesn't have a leg to stand on. As usual, he's shooting off his mouth and he doesn't know what he's talking about. It's just press. During Clinton's years, America did well economically domestically and internationally. The man left a surplus. (and who care about the women. So what? I'd rather him cheat on his wife than lie and get over 4,000 American troops killed). .What we have now is a MESS and it's going to be left to the next president and that can't be Obama. These guys touting him are hoping he gets on the ticket so that Republicans can get back into the White House - they know on a national scale, white Democrats will be reticent to vote for this man so they're crapping on Hillary. If he DID get elected, with his inexperience, the first thing that will happen to this man who is currently the media darling, is that when he makes some mistakes and starts falling prey to the lobbyists, they'll say, "he was so articulate, so educated, so together, yet look at the mess he's made! We have to get rid of him." And it will be the catalyst that will set any future viable African American candidates back for years to come. Right now, he's just a shiny new toy and we all know that runs out pretty fast. Hillary Clinton gets my vote. She can argue with him - whatever she wants. She doesn't have to be likable. She's asking to be responsible and to use the experience to lead this country. John Kerry needs to go back to doing whatever the heck he does with his time everyday and leave the campaigning to those strong enough to do it.
since she cast her vote to authorize war, she has come around to Obama's side. I think the baseless attack is attacking your opponent for having a record similar to yours.
Good for John Kerry for calling out Clinton on such a silly attack.
After his presidency, Clinton has done(still is) doing many many great thing for human nature and for the stability of this world. What makes you think that he won't do it with Hillary? Think about the whole picture.....Obama will have his chance later in life...I admire obama but I think he should step down and wait for his chance....
I do enjoy seeing one dishonest democrat attacking another dishonest democrat. The irony is "Shakespherean!" Maybe that bastion of moral clarity, Ted Kennedy will bless us with his reknowned veracity.

As a Black Man, I don't care what the Clintons have done for us, that does not give you the right to turn this into a Race War. Like I have heard many people say "I am not racist" Yeah until you date their daughters. The Clintons loved the blacks while they are not a threat to them. Now, they could care less. That is unless you are fool enough to vote for them.
I Challenge every Dem to stand up and say, If Hillary gets the vote I am taking my vote elsewhere! Let's start to count, Who's coming with me (1)
NOONE!
If you don't understand what the Clintons have done for all races, especially African-Americans in this very RACIST COUNTRY... you are not BLACK, just a REPUBLICAN PLANT posting a divisive and racist comment...
hrc has been using bill for sometime now, we should have seen the writing on the wall, thats how she won the senate seat in newyork, on the her husbands record, what a shame, pls America dont make the same mistake newyorkers did! her candidacy which ought to be a thing of pride to women, is actually a shame, she sets the the feminism movement 50yrs back, by relying on her husband to help her win the presidency! not a good example!
Looks like John Kerry is looking for a job!
No matter who wins the democratic nomination we definetely don't need another republican in the White House.
john is saying the trust
bill clinton is only showing support to his wife
Let's stop this nonsense. Kerry has a lot of nerve – he lost – no one likes a bad loser – Grow up!
In the 2004 Presidential derby, Bill Clinton publicly campaigned for Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry and John Edwards was John Kerry's running mate. This time in 2008, John Kerry showed his lack of reciprocity and of shame. By blasting Bill and turning his back on John Edwards, he has shown again the very reason he lost in 2004 Presidential elections. True to his flip-flopping character, while he was with Bill and John Edwards in 2004, now he is against both. With his flip-flops in 2004, John Kerry miserably lost his credibility. His misery over his 2004 defeat lingers to this day. With his latest flip-flop shown on this ticker, his credibility loss is further aggravated. Senator, with what remains of your credibility and with your seething bias against the Clintons, surely you have no license to abuse the minds and patience of the American people who since 2004 have lost their trust in you. Obama should distance himself from you, lest you bring him down to an equally miserable defeat.
The only “so-called” dirt Hillary had on Obama was Tony Rezko… Well did any of the Hillary supporters see the nice little photo with Hillary and Bill smiling and at peace in a picture with “Tony Rezko”? Hummm, oh I forgot Hillary said she didn’t know him.. Amazing how she was looking right at the camera and he was in the photo with “just the two of them”. Therefore, it wasn’t a company photo. Now tell me this.. How will the “go Hillary” people spin this.. Ok let me guess she will say.. “I never had a photo relationship with that man”. I beginning to think America is afraid of change.. I really hope Obama wins this primary “this will be our only chance at change”. I hope America wise up and see the Republicans want her bad.. Why? Because they can through “16 years” of dirt on her! I still don’t understand how the Republicans were after her for 16 years. If memory servers me MR. Clinton was the president.
The devious duo – Clinton looks like he just broke a baraaaack and Mr. Ed's trying to get away from the smell.
John Kerry is a rich bumbling idiot. He does not know the first thing about loyalty. Kerry's mother even stated that John was a mistake that would have been better off cleaned up with a wash cloth. First he turns on his fellow vets and then turns on those that got him to the democratic convention four years ago. Kerry is pathetic.
Like one of the posters early on said. "If Kerry likes Obama, maybee Obama isn't the right candidate". I'm gonna consider that as a great observation. Also, I like Hillary and believe her to be THE most qualified to be President BUT........what will life be like for the VP with Bill running around the White House ??? Who would want to be that person ?
I THINK IT'S TIME FOR AL GORE TO GET IN THE RACE AND SAVE THE PARTY FROM CERTAIN DEFEAT.
None of these candidates has earned my vote yet, but what Clinton can't get around in this debate, and what Obama's camp has failed to focus on it its most simple form, is this: Obama's initial vote AGAINST this war, when doing so came with much more risk and derision and marginalization, translates into a track record that says, "Obama is more likely NOT to get us into another debacle like this in the future." That's what Obama should keep it on, because if he does, the entire issue goes away, Clinton can't address it, because her initial vote tarnishes her record, both politically and morally, forever - and in a manner any voter can read with caution. As for ending this war, and how their votes have mirrored each others, it means nothing. Clinton helped get us into this, Obama didn't. While one can easily argue Obama hasn't done enough to get us out, Clinton has no ground to stand on when it comes to initial judgment and chances of future debacles.
If I were Obama I would have told Kerry to get lost.
Kerry defending Obama obviously means something, but something entirely different. Since we can never know exactly how they will act as president in the future to end this war, we do know how they HAVE acted and voted in positions of senatorial power when faced with starting a war.
Who cares about what Kerry has to say. He's just a sore loser defending another sore loser!
What are the truths that are being abused, exactly? This is just more empty rhetoric, conveniently lodged from the mouth of an empty surrogate one day before a primary that Obama must win. How pathetically transparent.
I am so tired of hearing how bad Bill and Hillary Clinton are. Every has been and never was is supposedly backing Obama. Truly, what is Obama's experience? A few years in politics? If anyone thinks that he is not calling in all his markers in order to put down the Clintons at every turn, then they deserve Bush and all his cronies. Open your eyes people. Politicians are afraid of Hillary. I would no sooner listen to Kerry's endorsements than I would Bush's.
Well, congratulatons to the Billary Clintons. They have not only succeeded in polarising and dividing a nation – Democrats against Republicans, they have now succeeded in polarising their own party!
I will happily vote for one unifying man with the capability to lead us to a better world rather than two very nasty, selfish, power mongering and divisive politicians like the Clintons. Experience means nothing in this race if it is the experience of dirty politics at which the Clintons excell
Please South Carolina, Please America, ELECT BARACK OBAMA!!!
The Clintons are incappable of being anything other than critics. They are not positive people unless they are tooting their own horns...I mean look at poor Bill...life would be so much easier if he had a button on his forhead that he could just hit! toot toot Look at me! I may have no morals, I may have dissapointed all the children in this country by having sex in the oval office with someone other than my wife but HEY LOOK AT ME!
Kerry is a loser, I only voted for him because of Edwards. Now he even betrayed him and endorsed Obama instead. That's ridiculous. Kerry has lost all credibility with him. Hey, Kerry!! Clinton won TWO terms, how many did you win!!??
I supported Kerry, until he married Barrack. What a pair, they both need to go home.
I HAVE NOT HEARD BILL CLINTON SAY ANYTHING THAT WAS NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW EVERY THING ABOUT A CANDIDATE, IT SPEAKS FOR THEIR CHARACTER. IN MY OPINION BARAK HAS NONE. HE HAS NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND IS NOT EXPERIENCED ENOUGH FOR THIS JOB. THEN HE SPEAKS OF OPRAH FOR VICE PRESIDENT IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET VOTES!!! HE IS PATHETIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't like Kerry and I did not vote for him.... but for once we agree. Bill Clinton has been a pain in the US for long enough, stop paying attention to him and maybe he will go away.
Its tim for change... I am not sure if I will vote for Obama, a Repulican (if they choose anyone but Huck) or as an independent... but I sure will not vote for Clinton.
Stop the Kool-Aide talking... Clinton's term in office was never noted for what he did for minorities. Care to compare the number of minorities Clinton appointed in government to Bush's? So one has to wonder, what is it that Clinton has really done for minorities? Which leaves us with the next Clinton.. Hillary. She as well has not got a track record of doing anything directly for minorities. Oh, just like the Bill, she opens her mouth and tells the audiences whatever will excite them, but there is no follow-up nor actual commitment. No action! Just pipe-dreams, promises, history re-writes and, of course the finger wagging.
The Clintons are politicians not citizens of honor worthy of America's trust.
Stop white washing and look at the facts.. not hte facts as presented to you by the Clinton propagantists! Look yourself and you will find a never ending trail of lies, crimes and coverups.
interesting turn of events. Kerri stands up and calls it as the rest of the world see's it and the last few writers attack him. So it is true, if you can not dispute what somebody says, then go after the one that says it. KMF, PAT, Skippy.... your all loosers in my book.
Kerry and the Clintons are so...generations ago.
MoveOn, losers – and dot your orgs on the way out!
Will wrote: "When we democrats tear each other apart, the Clintons win"
The most succinct description of the Hillary 08' campaign strategy I have heard yet.
Clinton has been "abusing the truth" for years now!! He even abused the truth under oath!
This is nothing new; although, it is surprising to hear a fellow Democrat call Clinton on it!
“How do you tell a Communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin” – Ronald Reagan
To Black America, to African-Americans:
Please explain to me concretely what Bill or Hillary have EVER done for African Americans....PLEASE tell me how they have improved your quality of life!!!!!
Someone tell Kerry, a.k.a. Mr. Munster, that he had his time....shut the heck up. Why do all these old croanies come out now....Oh Yeah....it's free air time. Whataburger introduced a new burger for Kerry....it's called Whataloser...it's full of crap.
Courageous Swiftboaters?? Now let's think about that. What courage did it take to make commercials and accusations about a soldier's war record when those Swiftboaters were not even there? The men who said they served with Kerry were not even present when the action took place that got him his medals. Was anything they ever said proven? Actually not. A well financed pack of lies - brought to you by the Republican Party.
Those folks are still fighting the Vietnam war, and they are still losing.
Who cares what John Kerry thinks? I can't think of a more ineffectual political figure.
I think the politicians forget that most voters consider honesty a strength not a weakness, that being candid and being a candidate doesn’t demand a skew of others positions just an exploration of the truth.
The politicians diverge from the character of their voting supporters at their ultimate peril.
I am looking for honesty in my goverment this time around!
A vote for the Clintons is really just a vote for the Clintons. Because the only thing the Clintons did was help themselves.
Vote for yourself by voting for Obama.
Bill Clinton so messed up negotiantions with North Korea that they went and built nuclear weapons? What makes you think Hillary is a foreign policy expert? What makes you think she is an expert in any areas of life other than deceptions?
"you need to chill Bubba, I am sick of these Repulican style attacks."
"Repulican [sic] style attacks"? What the heck is that? Kerry is a democrat. So is Obama. The Democrats wrote the book on mud slinging and you have the ignorance to call it "Repulican [sic] style attacks"?
"Hello. Kettle? This is the pot. You're black."

Bye Hillary and welcome Obama !
He doesn't "seem" right... he is right. He was right then... and he's right now.
As for experience vs. inexperience... your example of Bush vs. Obama proves that experience is irrelevant in the face of stupidity.
If she lies to you now, she'll lie to you later! Just like a Bush!
Former President Bill Clinton should be barred from the White House!
We all know he's hiding under her skirt!
Obama 2008!
John Kerry should explain how Bill C. is abusing the truth, rather than just claiming that he is. As usual, Kerry is ineffective and inept.
it's high time for change – change from the old politics of the smear (clinton et all) to the politics of hope and idealism.
So let me get this straight. The Clintons are racists for saying that the Presidency matters? Hell yes it matters. No one can tell me that President Barry Goldwater would have signed the civil rights legislation in 1964. No way, it never happens. Thank God LBJ was President.
That said, Hillary never said that MLK did not deserve most of the credit for the civil rights movement. I for one am tired of politically correctness. If anyone was going to go ballistic about Hillary not giving MLK full credit it would be Congressman John Lewis of Georgia, who put his life on the line in the civil rights movement many times. He marched with King and spoke right before King at the March on Washington in 1963. John Lewis is a strong Clinton Supporter.
What Hillary said was the truth, pure and simple. If people cannot accept the truth they are in trouble. It serves no purpose to rewrite history.
If you are not old enough to remember theCivil Rights movement for goodness sake get a book. Thank God for people like John Lewis and MLK and LBJ.
SO! That neocon thug John Kerry joins the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy's Attack Machine of HATE!
I for one am happy to have him on board!
I voted for Kerry in 2004, however, now I see him as disloyal to John Edwards, who he selected to serve as his vice-president, and also disloyal to Bill Clinton, who campaigned for Kerry in 2004. In my opinion, Kerry is ungrateful and a hypocrite. If I had to choose between Bush and Kerry, I'd still choose Kerry and that's not saying much now. Two incompetent people in positions of power and we, the American people, are at the mercy of politicians like these. Scary.
It seems to me she was distorting his record, yet again. You may think that he should have been a more ardent supporter of pulling out of Iraq, but that doesn't justify her revising history to make a political point.
John Kerry was a terrible candidate and didn't GET IT in 2004,so why doesn't he realize that you have to be a grown up,mature and experienced in order to run for CIC.
It is pathetic that Obama has snookered all of the media that he is some messianic meta politician.Reality: he needs to answer questions about his record.He is slimy and America needs Pres.Clinton or Senator Clinton to point out the Importance of the two backgrounds and qualifications!!
This country is at a horrible place and must have a STRONG, STEADY,EXPERIENCED, LEADER which is Senator Hillary Clinton not some WHINER.
No one is impressed with your endorsement Sen.Kerry it was done in a hateful slap at your former running mate.
Well, its a little past four, so all you government employed liberal fascist can get ready to go home. Keep dreaming about the days before the new media and the lies told on nightly news were all yours for the taking, If any one of you think for one minute that any one of the democraps have a chance in hell of winning, you need to be drug tested
I'm young, but I don't remember any other candidate whose spouse held the title "Leader of the Free World". His speeches, with Mrs. Clinton's indisputably strong personal, ideological, and political ties to her husband, do seem relevant. She cannot claim experience in Bill Clinton's White House when it suits her and dismiss it as unfair when it doesn't. If he claims it it comes with baggage. Just something we don't want again the white house!
I'm a disappointed Democrat. I think Obama will one day make a great President and if the Democratic party had any brains, they'd groom him and help prepare him for this once he has more experience. They need to invest in giving him the experience he needs to do the job. Instead, he's being turned into a typical politician. I cannot stand the way so many people carry on about the Clintons. I had more money and my financial portfolio was better then than it is now. Take a chill pill and stop carrying around all that anger–you sound ridiculous.
Thank you Mr. Kerry! Seems like Bill Clinton is the one running for president again and will do anything to get back into the white house... which includes lying and who knows what other deceptions he will pull. As Jim, the first poster said, "Wake Up America"!
Hey Lurch , is this the same way you abused the truth in your antics with the Swift boats ? Don't seem to recall you getting that Million $$ for refuting any of the Swift Boat for Truth guys claims....
It's clear that the Clinton's 'endorsement' of the 04' Kerry campaign was a farce. Their 'campaigning' for Kerry included things like Hillary Clinton emphasizing that Kerry supported "income redistribution". They 'supported' Kerry/Edwards insofar as they did everything in their power to help them lose- that's what allowed Hillary to get a senate seat- which would giver her the veneer of experience. Everything the Clinton's have done since 2000 has led up to this point...the woman is a mercenary.
If Mrs. Clinton wins the White House, she will be disgraced just like her husband. she is a narcissist and won't be able to stop herself
Kerry is is a sour loser. He is irrelevant and has no need to interject himself in this fray.
Sounds to me like John "The Chin" Kerry is trying to position himself as Obama's running mate. I supported him in 2004 but think he is a total back stabber now. Get a life Kerry!
AS A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT, AND VIET NAM VET. I THINK SENATOR KERRY IS A BACK STABBER, FOR HIS DEALING WITH JOHN EDWARDS. HE CAN ENDORSE WHOMEVER HE WANTS. BUT TO BLAME JOHN EDWARDS FOR HIS LOSS, IS A REAL MEALY MOUTH APPROACH. HE SHOULD KEEP QUIET. I WAS ALL FOR HIM 4 YEARS AGO, BUT HAVE NO USE FOR HIM NOW. THANKS MILES
I think Kerry should leave things alone and quit tearing the party apart, as many politicians on the same side do. Look back to what happened to Howard Dean when he spoke out while running for office. The Democrats were their own worst enemies. Join in and make things smooth sailing not sink ships!!!!!!!
The war on Iraq was unnecessary and is bankrupting the country. We need to be sure the next president never repeats this mistake. Obama articulated sound reasons publically for opposing the war before it started whereas Hillary voted both for the Iraq Lieberman-Warner resolution in 2002 and the Lieberman-Kyl Iran resolution in 2007. It is clear she has not learned from her mistake and is much more likely to send us into another unnecessary war than is Obama. Also, even though one opposes a war, once we have commited shock and awe, trashing the country, breaking down law and order, and causing civil wars, one might have a sense of responsibility to try to repair some of the damage. Thus one's voting record, post war, may reflect different considerations, such as,making sure our troops are safe and gets what needed for it, safety obligations of contractors and u.s officials, etc.
Hillary you are misleading America again and I don't think we are ready to go that road again.
Kerry is just like Obama, a whiner with no spine, it is not hard to see why Kerry would come to his defense. At least Obama's wife has some guts. Kerry needs to shut up and Obama needs to go back to Chicago and sit at Oprah's pool.
I question Kerry after he endorsed Obama instead of Edwards – his running mate! No loyalty! I'm tired of both Hillary and Obama. They both showed bad performance Monday and they both are distorting the truth like most politicians. Now I am leaning toward Edwards. He seems like a saint compared to their behavior.
I do not think Mr. Kerry is an important part of this election.
if the clintons wanna be honest they will realize that the only way to move this country forward (which they claim to love very much by the way) is by electing barack obama, republicans dont like them and nothing will ever get done, we will only see more bickering and infighting, because to most republicans a vote for hrc is a vote for slick willy and they dont want him back!!!
william "billy blythe" clinton is just like his uncle who trained him. he's an evil used car saleman from hot springs.
forget the lies that he told you about hope, AR.
hillary is just a nasty old dumb white woman. she failed the bar exam in DC and with no job prospects moved to arkansas with him to start hustling the voters.
she is as unqualified for the presidency as barack obama, john mccain and mike huckabee.
none of them have ever run or managed anything. their understanding of economics is ZERO. none of this group have any idea how the economy works.
stupid people running a con on voters.
veterans vote for john, women vote for hillary, christians for for mike, guilty wealthy liberals and blacks vote for "BARRY".
Kerry has no right to say this things. As some one who supported and helped kerry in '04, let me point out:
1. As Donald Trump would say, "Kerry is a loser". He lost an election to George W. Bush. Do I need to go on?
2. He was whiner. He let the republicans turn him into a cartoon. He was a war hero and he let the republicans swift boat him. Do you think, the clinton war machine will ever let the republicans do something like that?
3. He tried to sabotage the 2006 election with his comment against the troops.
4. He did not spend all his campaign money during the 2004 election.
Just like our beloved President Clinton said in the '04 convention, republicans know how to run a campaign and how to hold on to power. We do not need idealistic ideots on our side giving another election to the republicans. We need the clinton war machine. It's time for Democrats to get tough. Bill and Hillary can certaintly stand up for our rights and win this election.
Its such hypocrisy that Obama (via Kerry) calls the Clinton's views distortions – wasn't this after Obama criticized her for sitting on the board of Wal-Mart – the entire time she was on the board, the company considered her a "thorn in their side" because she fought for workers rights and their benefits, the role of women, and their policy views. She even gave them back political contributions because of their differences YEARS ago, while Obama only paid 300k for him million dollar mansion thanks to his buddy, slum-lord. Oh ya, and he just gave his contributions back over THIS WEEKEND. Talk about hypocrisy.
He'll never be ready for the general election. Hillary is the dems best and only chance. You go girl.
"And not one thing the courageous Swiftboaters said about Kerry were ever proven false. EVER."
Actually they were. Look it up. They were proven false by the New York Times, The Washington Post, Nightline. Boone Pickens offered one million dollars to anyone who could prove that the Swiftboat allegations were false. The next day John Kerry did. No surprise that Pickens reneged on his deal
Greg T you must be a repub because you called me a name.....nice touch. very mature. are you running for office? since you took me to the schoolyard. well, i am rubber and you're glue.....you know the rest.
Hey Ben. It's not what either candidate does for African Americans. It's about what they can do for this country!
Al Gore won't be endorsing any candidate for President. Now that he has won the Nobel prize why should he lower himself to immerse in politics? Unless of course he decides to run for President himself.
If you want to get anything done in Washington .. you have to know how to fight .. Welcome to todays world
Obama and Kerry both suffer from the 'softie' syndrome.
Dear Mr. Obama, if you cant take the heat stay away. As for Kerry .. he is so obviously desperate for the VP spot it is not even funny
Obama is a good man, just not the right man in the right place at the right time
This is NOT his time to be President
What we need now is a fighter someone who can pick this country up out of the crapper and make it what it deserves to be, the most respected nation in the world
Go Hillary !!!!
As much as I dislike the Clintons, and that is quite a bit. I dislike OBAMA and his european socialist views even more. I hope they both lose, before the country is the big loser.
Lou Dobbs is the only one that understands and reports acurately the political gamesmanship of these two candidates. The way I see it Hillary has Bill; and Obama has his wife and Oprah. What's so unfair?
Go Hillary.
I feel better knowing John Kerry is advising Obama.
McCain Beats Hillary in the latest polls. No wonder the republicans want her to run. She is a polarizing sheep herder.
And to all you guys bashing Kerry, look what you ended up with. You got the worst president in American history. You people still have the smear campaign fresh in your minds. I don't see how he could have possibly done any worse.
Kerry just lost a lot of credibility with me for those remarks.
Good Lord! So a past president isn't allowed to campaign for his presidential candidate wife? Since when?
If there was something you thought was untrue, just state what it was. That is what we do during this election. We figure out what is the truth and what isn't. We call people on their statements. But Kerry is just going all out and calling an "ex-president" a liar. That, senator kerry, IS called GOING OVER THE TOP!
It's an election campaign, people. Get with the program and stop insanely attacking the man for doing what is his right. That of campaigning FOR his WIFE.
Shame on you Kerry,
Wynter
Obama reminds me so much of him in his outlook and the way he brings us along on the journey. I am putting my faith him him to mobilize the nation to sacrifice and heal the country.
Just a few thoughts.
No matter how much you argue "Slow and steady wins the race.."
Hillary has been campaigning since 2004..
go hillary
Dear Democrats,
Don't be deluded: the Democratic Party is a socialist party, like what parties are in Europe.
Obama is fooling you - he's no different than the others; he's not what you think he is. Oh, sure, he's good at making you believe that he's all pure and honest, but he's a double-dealing phony interested in personal aggrandizement like the rest of them.
The Clintons are communist thugs, plain and simple.
If you want to destroy America, be a Democrat. They are all socialists, and closet fascists as well.
RE: Mark – At some point – and it may not be until they are in the voting booth – Americans are going to realize that voting for Hillary means Bill Clinton will be back in the White House, only this time with more free time on his hands. While I'm not a prude or a moralist, I'd prefer to not have my president distracted by marriage problems. Many other voters are prudes and moralists however, and will consider this possibility a violation of sacred national ground. There have already been consequences for Bill's bad behavior (Gore's run in 2000) and his wife's campaign will be another. Since I'm against the dynasty thing anyway, I don't think this is unfortunate, as long as Democrat's realize this now and don't nominate a candidate with such an outsized albatross hanging from her neck. In short, she should have to explain and defend Bill, but really can't given who he is. It's a pity she can't be president because of this, but not a tragedy (Gore in 2000 was) seeing as the office isn't owed to her by me, you, or anybody else. By all accounts she's a heck of a Senator – when not making calculating votes aimed at making her look tough enough to be Commander-in Chief – and I hope she spends many more fruitful years ion that chamber.
There are no "attacks." That is just media hype. If you listen and watch the actual interviews and statements from Bill Clinton they are completely reasonable. Obama prefers to play the "victim" as an excuse to not reveal the truth about his voting record ("present"), his inability to use a button to vote ("oops"), and his lack of details about any of his policy proposals.
I've decided not to vote for Hillary as the Clinton-Rezko relationship is very concerning. I do not want a President who would meet with slum lords while in office. That undermines the dignity of the office.
Unfortunately, HRC thinks she is entitled to the nomination. Obama is a very viable candidate, he is picking up more and more support by the hour and she can't stand it. The Republicans are sitting back and loving every minute of this. Who needs their "swift-boating" when HRC is doing all their dirty work for them? The fact that she is stooping to the level she has is very sad and troubling. I am a life-long democrat and have voted for a democrat in every election. If by some miracle her Rovian tactics work and she wins the nomination, I will cast a protest vote for someone else. She has lost my respect and most definitely my vote. Peace, Ng
Please, thanks to Kerry we have had to endure another disastrous 4 years of Bush. What he says is completely irrelevant.
Do we want to become "The Obama Nation" hahaha
Kerry is doing no favors for Obama by sticking his nose in this. He lost to Bush "The Village Idiot" and I have little respect for him.
When is Obama going to talk about how he is going to fix the economic nightmare going on now.
At least with Clinton we had 8 years of out debt. and had surplus money.
Obama is a fine candidate but his time is not now.
The Clintons cannot be trusted, bottom line. It's about time someone else finally noticed they are stretching the truth about Obama.
Just like Pat said, John Kerry had just found his voice. This is not politicing at all. Let the candidate campaign and stop inteferring because during your time everyone supported you and you got the nomination, now I believe you have a special interest in Obama that is why.
With the support of the likes of Kerry, Obama is surely headed for a loss. Maybe turncoat Joe Lieberman can add his support to complete this quinella of electoral doom!
All Obama has to say to Hillary in the next debate is this:
"Hillary, the people of America and myself want you to detail and explain your 35 years of experience. You continue to make this claim in every debate we've had."
Please get this message to Obama. I thought Wolf Blitzer was going to present our questions in the Myrtle Beach debate?
I was once a fan of the Clinton's, but I will vote for a third party candidate if she is the one running for the Democratic party.
I think a large part of the clintons behavior involves: if Hillary can't be President neither can he. I also think its completely innappropriate for an ex-President to become so involved in a primary campaign. Even Bush Sr. didn't insert himself like this.
The clintons are slime. they always were. This sort of ugliness may get her the nomination. but she will be a pariah in the general election. If clinton is the nominee the Republicans will hold the White House AND regain the Senate. The Deomcratic Party will be left in tatters. Talk of polarizing people. We can thank the Clintons.
It is amazing to me how many people are blinded by Bill & Hillary Clinton. If Hillary is elected, this nation will come to regret it. Many people dislike/hate George W., there is a lot of information suggesting that the Clintons & the Bushes are in cahoots with one another. Why won't George W release documentss regarding Hillary? Amongst many other instances... Why don't some people think it is amazing that Bill Clinton is either angry or over the top with the support of his wife. He is like a dictator. Next, we are going to see giant statues of Bill around the country. The can't believe the DNC doesn't have some standard.....
We need to wake up to this and elect someone who is not a Bush or a Clinton.
Time will tell, but Hillary is not the solution.
Fine time to Kerry to grow a pair. Why didn't he stand up when he was being swift boated 4 years ago. Maybe the country wouldn't be in the shape its is now. Kerry is upset that Clinton isn't the wimp he was when people were going after him. His endorsement of Obama is as phoney as his condemnation of Clinton. When he was needed he played the high road. Enough of the high road. Look at what the high road has gotten this nation 4 years of living hell. Who cares what Kerry thinks.
THESE ARE THE FACTS:
NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS APPOINTED MORE AFRICAN AMERICANS THAN PRESIDENT CLINTON.
UNDER PRESIDENT CLINTON BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT WENT DOWN AND HOME OWNERSHIP WENT UP. Don't blame the Clintons for what Bush and the Republicans have done in the past 7 years to change all of this.
John Kerry, after all Bill Clinton did for you!!!
You suck egg dog!
I just lost ALL respect for John Kerry.
You guys are annoying...
It doesn't matter if Kerry is a loser.
But it matters that he is saying the truth...and he is!
P.S.: Bush is a winner and everybody is sick of him...
I would not let Kerry near my dogs, they will run away, ugly dude – but to the point Obama is a breath of fresh air the politics of America, but he will spent his first 4 years in power – if elected – just trying to get all his ducks in a row. Clinton, on the other hand, can hit the ground running.
America needs a smart president with lots of experience (Important, look what happened with the current one, lots of bad decisions not to mention all the deceptions), nobody can offer a better package than the Clinton's, like them or not, we need to transition out of this mess as smooth and fast as possible.
Obama – may be good for vice-president, get some on-the-job training and run for election on a post Clinton era.
Funny how Dems want McCain and we Republicans want Hillary. They both suck!
Just goes to show how unscrupulous the Clintons can be.
He – while being in office ..... had to be impeached for his behaviour then.
She – same creed – get to the office – ANY HOW !!
Even the Sr. Bush did not go this length for his junior.
With the Clintons anything works.
As to funding the war, Obama has stated that once in, like Hillary, he so far would not cut funds to the troops. You may not agree with that position but it is not different from Sen. Clintons. In fact Sen. Clinton's criticism of Obama on Iraq is a disingenuous criticism of him for being like her.
Sen. Clinton's explanation for her vote for the Iraq resolution is her "I didn't inhale" moment because she didn't think it meant Bush would invade – Hello! The fact that she didn't object at the time of the actual invasion is a minor inconvenience without explanation by this reasoning
Now Kerry wants to stand up when he chicken out when the repubs were attacking him. Where was he/the establishment (Rom, Kennedy etc..) when Obama was attacking Hillary? I guess Kerry forgot when he ran last time Clinton came out of the Hospital to save his behind in PA which he could have lost if Clinton did not have this big rally for him. Believe me there will be a lot of b kissing once Hillary secure this Nomination.
John Kerry who! I am tired of hearing all of this racket. This is the mildest campaign I have ever witnessed with regards to mudslinging. Wake up people it was not the Democratic candidates (Hillary, Barack or John ) who started this whole race laced conversation. It was the media & the pollsters immediately following the New Hampshire primary. Please somebody role the tape backward to the day after when they were all trying to figure out how Hillary won!!! For two to three days we heard how the voters must of been lying about who they voted for the exit polling or prior to the primary and that racism was running wild in NH. From there someone latched onto President Clinton's depiction of Senators OBama's stance on the IRAQ war and said used the phrase fairy tale about his position. GEE the next thing the media implied was that Clinton was making racial overtones, then they jumped on Hillary for a sound bit regarding MLK and LBJ which was completed overplayed and now the media implied that she was injecting racial overtones then the train left the station and now anything that anybody says must be racial as well. So what happens three candidates (Clinton, Obama & Edwards ) are drawn into this mess that first started with the media trying to over analyze the New Hamphire primary. Shame on all of us AMERICANS for allowing this to stay alive.
Why doesn't the article quote Kerry on any specifics? In what specific instances does Kerry perceive Bill Clinton is abusing the truth in this campaign?
For a guy who is infamous for tripping over his tongue, Kerry really does not have much room to criticize the words of a successful two-term Democratic president.
I've felt sorry for Kerry in the past because I thought he was unfairly attacked by the original swiftboaters, but I think Kerry's latest remarks put him in a worse light than either of the Clintons.
To me, Kerry seems like an ungrateful backstabber. The Clintons tried to get Kerry elected, and now Kerry takes something trivial and turns it into a weapon to be used against the Clitons.
You would think Kerry would learn from his mistakes. Doesn't this guy ever know when to shut up?
We have had the Bush dynasty and from all appearances, the second half of the dynasty became egocentric. If Hillary is elected, I'm afraid we'll the same problems. While I think there she is bright and if she if nominee I'll vote for her. Nevertheless, much like the current administration Hillary's administration will be loaded with crony’s from Clinton 1. I believe Barack and/or John will bring new people with a fresher look
THE CLINTONS ARE DIRTY, DIRTY LIARS! ooo, big surprise!
Did we all forget Mr. "Depends what the meaning of 'is' is" Clinton. Or when he looked us straight in the eye and said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman!" Cmon, are we that stooopid!?!?
Notice the Clintons were playing fair in Iowa, but all this started after Obama handed them their butts there, and then the tears flowed and somehow the polls were wrong by 10 percentage points, and now all sorts of dirty e-mails and tactics are being employed by the Clintons – Bogus Muslim e-mails, lies about Obama's record, etc, etc.
Thank you JOHN KERRY for telling the truth! Something Bill/Hillary know nothing about!
Kerry
Please shut up. I love Hillery. She is strong and can take it. Not like that crybaby Oboma. Did he think this was going to be a cake walk.
John Kerry,you are my hero, the truth about Clinton's lies, at last!
stan pitts pa:
Your insight is so wrong, your comment is also stupid. HEAR ME –IF OBAMA BY CHANCE GETS THE NOMINATION - I WILL NOT VOTE FOR ME. HE WILL LOSE WITH OR WITHOUT MY VOTE! I think you wish Hillary supporters will turn to Obama, maybe some will in order for the Democrats to win. But, not me. I'm not turning now or ever. I'm in for the long haul with Hillary. You go ahead and throw your vote away–I'd rather not.
And in response to your other comment–Kerry the war hero–um, didn't that come into question when he ran in 2004! You don't need to be a war hero to run the country. Obama, President Clinton, Sen. Clinton, Biden, Kucinich, Edwards, Richardson, FDR, Herbert Hoover and many other Rep and Dem never served in the military. Military doesn't impress me nor make cause me to vote for a candiate that has served in the military.
Three cheers for John Kerry. Not so for the Clintons. They have been so over the top that some of my democratic friends say that they will never vote for Hillary even if she gets the nomination. I will, although like Bill was( a failed President who Newt Gingrich made relevent by his extremism), she is my last choice among democrats. We need change, not politicans as usual who will do anything to get elected (like Bill is his "welfare reform" fiasco, that drove his top domestic advisers on welfare to resign in protest. He backed a Republican plan (and spread falsehood about welfare then) to get elected. Will Hillary prove as bad? Looks like it.
TRUTH BEING TOLD....IT'S SAD BUT THE WAY THE CLINTONS ARE SLINGING MUD IT SEEMS THEY RATHER HAVE A REPUBLICAN AS PRESIDENT BUT ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT THAN HILLARY. THEY ARE VERY FRUSTRATED, THEY KNOW IF OBAMA WASN'T THERE SHE WOULD ALREADY HAVE IT IN THE BAG. HE MAY BE ABLE TO STOMP WELL BUT AT WHAT COST. AS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN IN ALOT OF COMMUNICATION CIRCLES, EVEN IF SHE WIN'S THE PRIMARY IF WE DON'T SHOW FOR THE GENERAL ELECTION, SHE'S UP THE CREEK WITHOUT A PADDLE...HOW FUNNY WOULD THAT BE
I keep hearing how bad the republicans are for America. I find that remark so sad. I've prospered regardless if we had a republican or democrat in office. The point is that I worked hard and made sound choices in my life. I've never depended on the government to give me anything. I've worked hard to gain ownership, and not be a servant to anyone elses dreams, maybe that is the problem with the people whining for a better tomorrow. Work hard for yourself, stay in school and learn how the economy works and maybe you too will prosper. This government is not setup for you to succeed, the government is setup to make money and grow America. That is why the Bush's and Clinton's talk crap to you and you fall for it. (Obama included)
Any supporter of HRC or Obama tell me one legislation that either candidate drafted that helped you?
Anybody notice how CNN runs all these "Clinton Lashes Out" and "Bill Clinton Lies" headline titles, yet EVERY article has not a single sample of Bill's lies?
CNN, either report some facts or shut up. I'm getting tired of your rabble-rousing.
The Clintons are a joke. Truly pathetic that so many people are stupid enough to continue to support this phony couple.
Kerry knew the only way to get a little press was to come out against the Clintons. You are right he is a back stabber. Kmf if the rep. get back in you won't have enough money to feed your dog!!!!!
If I was Obama, I'd be very cautious of having the backstabbing, lying, opportunistic Kerry on my side. The guy is nothing but trouble.
John Kerry, the man who was too weak to challenge republican criticism against him that sank the democratic party in 2004. The man who had to rub it John Edward's face by supporting Obama. I am a democrat and I can honestly say that I am so happy now that Kerry was never elected. The party was hard up for a candidtate when it nominated him. Bottom line is Bill Clinton is a political genius.
He will paint Obama as the black candidate causing blacks to flock to Obama.
Then once the demographics of the vote in South Carolina show that blacks have abandoned Hillary, it will will cause whites to return the favor in kind against Obama and Hillary will sweep super tuesday. is it right? NO
But is it genius...YES.
"A presidential election between, say, McCain and Obama — both positive and honorable candidates — would be better for the country. A race between McCain and Clinton would be better for the Republicans."
I agree with the above comments that were previously posted. If Hillary gets the nomination, I either will not vote, vote for John McCain if he's the republican nominee, or vote for a third party. The Rovian tactics used by the Clinton campaign are a disgrace to the Democratic Party. We are not Republicans and should not sink to their level!
Hey Kerry, Obama was around four years ago, how come you didn't pick him to be your VP? First you back stab Edwards, now Clinton? Maybe the swiftboaters were right.
Why don't you shut up and let the nomination process run it's course, instead of looking like a schmuck.
Endorsee Program
Obama-Oprah, Kerry
Huckabee-Chuck Norris
McCain-Rambo
Cinton-Clinton
John Kerry did not back his former running mate, John Edwards because Kerry claims to be a Democrat but it was clear in the Kerry/Bush election that though this was a Kerry/Edwards ticket, John Edwards is really the one who has the heart and soul of a true Democrat.
Please note the letter to Senator Edwards from Martin Luther King 111.
If Clinton get the nod I will vote Republican. I cannot believe that America has forgotton the scandals of the Clinton WH. If she were to win (which she wont) she would only keep this country as or more ddivided then we are with Bush. The sight of the two Clintons just makes me sick and Im a life long Dem. Well I guess we will se just how dumb the voters are come November. On second thought they are pretty dumb, they elected GWB, twice. Were doomed.
Too bad Kerry couldn't have developed a spine to go after the Republicans when he was running for President. Timing is everything and separates the good comedians from the bad.
HAHA "Clinton's attack machine changed my mind about Obama..."
ya...thats what theyre trying to do....wow, some americans r dumb
"WE KNOW THAT SHE IS CAPABLE OF BOTH UNITING AND LEADING" QUOTE FROM NEW YORK POST ABOUT HILLARY. IF OBAMA CANNOT TAKE THE HEAT HE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE KITCHEN! GOD ONLY KNOWS WHO HE WILL BRING OUT NEXT TO HAVE A PITY PARTY FOR HIM. THIS IS GETTING OLD AND OBAMA LOOKS WORSE EVERY DAY. YOU GO HILLARY! WE ARE BEHIND YOU GIRL!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY CLINTON 2008
At the end of the day, everyone has already made their choice...whether it is Hillary or Obama...for the most part, no one is going to change their mind – of course, this is my opinion...I am sick and tired of the media and others like John Kerry making a stink of this "strategy"...It takes the media to put a spin in the matter and then it becomes a big deal...people seem to bite at the bait...all politicians are not angels and that includes Obama...he is far from being an angel but the media likes him...and of course he has less history since he is new to the arena, but give him time, he will make bad decisions...it is also funny how Obama puts a different spin on tough questions – he either does not answer them or goes on to another subject...in regards to the debate the other night, I belive it was Obama that started the punches and hillary threw them back...anyway, go Democrats.
JOHN KERRY CAME OUT AGAINST THE VERY PERSON THAT HE CHOSE FOR HIS VP, AND AGAINST SOMEONE WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE FACT THAT HE WOULD ENDORSE OBAMA TELLS ME HES A LITTLE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!OBAMA IS A CANDY BUTT CRY BABY AND NEEDS TO CRAWL UP UNDER OPRAHS BUTT AND STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE HAS NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HILLARY CLINTON 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mr. Kerry is exactly right! I have been the biggest Hillary supporter for 20 plus years, but I can't vote for her anymore. The Clintons are no better than the Bushs, and I HATE the Bushs. She has lost my vote. I am now voting for Obama. He is a real candidate that actually has ideas that don't need to be backed up by attacks on the opposition.
Bye Mrs. Clinton, Hello Mr. Obama!!!
Iam a black man who's very proud of Obama. Iam also equally proud of the Clintons for what the Clinton years in the white house meant for this country. Great 8 years all arround. Let the Clintons haters just calm down. I pray everyday that my daughters grow up to become strong women like Hillary. Brother Obama, stick to your game plan. You dont need Kerry or anyone to distract you.
abusing the truth is called lying!!!! when will we stop being afraid to say the word lie??? the clintons are liers!!!
WELL, I VOTED FOR JOHN WHEN HE RAN FOR PRESIDENT. I STOOD IN A LONG LINE AT THE IOWA STATE FAIRGROUNDS IN DES MOINES, IA. HOPING TO SEE HIM AND JOHN EDWARDS AND IT WAS SOOOOO COLD. WELL HE DIDN'T WIN THE PRESIDENCY, AND I'M GLAD. AND I THINK HE HAS DONE JOHN EDWARDS WHOM WAS HIS RUNNING MATE AND HILLARY CLINTON A VERY BAD INJUSTICE. SO JOHN KERRY, YOUR NOT VERY LOYAL, ARE YOU?
HO, HO, HO...... So how is Clinton any different from Kerry and his War Stories?
People want examples of how the Clintons lie. . . .
They admit that Obama was against the war at the beginning, but, he then took his speech opposing the war off his website. The Clintons say this means he is for the war.
Since when did taking a speech off your website mean you are no longer against the war. Sure he did vote to fund the war, but, if he voted against funding the war, soldiers would not have what they needed to be safe.
It is this double speak that gets people frustrated!!!
And also remember, Kerry is a member of the Democratic party. Just because he lost his bid for President doesn't mean he has no right to express his opinions.
If he was backing Hillary. all of you Hill fans would be praising him!
You Hilliots are a joke!!!
Clinton / McCain 2008! Or will it be McCain / Clinton?
Just like a Clinton / Obama ticket they might be unstoppable... in the damage they can do to us!
Down with America!
It takes a liar to tell a liar in politics! Kerry Cong-boated his brothers in arms in order to step over their dead and broken bodies into a political career with lies about atrocity and war crimes. Niether of these two politicians have any remaining dignity so let us hope they duel til the final death of their political careers.
Kerry's accusing Bill of lying! How about Kerry's congressional testimony back when he returned from Vietnam? This is one of liberals major failing. All statements are relative to whatever is going on at the time. There are no absolute truths.
How about Bill's recent statement that he has always been against the Iraq war. Has he forgotten the Iraqi Regime Change bill he signed into law in 1998.
He reminds me of that old lawyer joke that says 'he must be lying, his lips are moving'.
I find these statements from the article interesting....
"Campaigning in South Carolina Friday, Obama said the Clinton campaign has stepped up its attacks since his Iowa win, and joked that it's good practice for him, so "when I take on those Republicans I'll be accustomed to it......"
Hmmm, so Barack needs "practice" to take on the Republicans. Am I the only one that sees this as proof-positive this dude isn't ready for the job he's seeking?
"Kerry formally endorsed Obama on January 10, saying then that Obama "isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces........"
Together? What does Kerry mean by "together"? Has he got it in his head somewhere that he and Obama are of the same mold? Wow, please do not make me laugh that hard. Or does this mean that Kerry knows something that the public doesn't know yet?.. Like him possibly being a possible VP running mate? Holy hell, please don't scare me like that......
What an obviously vein attempt to try and get in the white house. Poor Kerry will try anything to get his foot in the door! What now, you will even take the VP??? Wow, what a shocker! You are still a faker to me. No integrity. If he can't be faithful to his prior running mate, then how can he be faithful to you, me or AMERICA. A man with no loyalty is no man at all!!!
Please keep in mind that just because someone says they are african american doesn't really mean that they are...P.S. Not all liberals want someone to do something for them...as well as not all african americans want someone to do something for them as well....no need to mention your race...
Why can't we all just get along?
Well because some of us are big fat liars willing to do anything and say anything to get elected President.
It speaks volumes when a loser like JF Kerry criticizes another loser like William Jefferson Clinton speaking about another loser Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Where do you begin when the rats start turning on themselves and each other?
You want change, America? You want change? YOU CAN'T GET CHANGE FROM THESE LOSERS!
And, hey, have a nice day, please!
KERRY IS NOT THE ONE I WOULD GO TO FOR A COMMENT
HE SOUNDS LIKE A SORE LOSER WHO IS STILL LICKING HIS
WOUNDS FROM THE LAST FIGHT. I HAD NOT NO REGARDS FOR
HIM THEN OR NOW. HIS ENDORSEMENT COULD BE A HINDER
INSTEAD OF A HELP
shut up JOHN KERRY....did someone forget get to tell you that you are a loser
"Abusing the truth"? Well, guess so, but back when I was a kid, it was called "LYING"!
Let me get this straight....Bill Clinton attacks Obama and Kerry attacks Bill Clinton because he feels it is wrong of Clinton to attack Obama. However Kerry feels it is ok for him to attack Clinton. Sounds like a double standard to me.
Kerrys song....."I'm a loser and I'm not what I appear to be...." The Beatles
Attaboy Johny! You tell 'em. Kick Hillary in the nuts and hope she stays down! LOL!
Is Kerry going to be on the ticket as vice-president–he's sez WE"RE going to break the mold...I didn't know he was a candidate for anything–he LOST his bid for President.
Ben, Columbus, Ohio January 25, 2008 1:05 pm ET
"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us?"
Race politics just leads to more racial prejudice. Is that what you really want?
Bill is frantic and desperate. He needs to be back as the co-president. If Hillary does not win, it's divorce time for them – they won't need each other anymore and the fake marriage will crumble.
Now I see the real Bill for the pathetic fake that he is. And I thought only Hillary was the fake.
This is pretty much all you are going to see from the Clinton administration (if it would happen) . They would be under attack, because both Bill and Hilary Clinton has a closet full of skeletons ready to pour out. Bush-Clinton-Bush- ? Clinton again? When are you americans going to notice a trend there? You have been living under the same dynasty for the past 20 years! Either Bush or Clinton.
Brake the cycle for Christ's sake!
John Kerry should just keep his mouth shut!
He is four years to late to be fighting battles. If he was this vocal four years ago when HE was under attack–he'd be President now! Four years later–just go home and be quiet. Let's not even get into how he stabbed both John Edwards and the Clintons in the back after all of their hard work and support for him, including defending HIM, while he was keeping quiet four years ago.
"Don't Taser Me, Bro!" Finally, some words of wisdom worth hearing from Kerry!
Mit Romney brought out the stained blue dress at last night's GOP debate. America does not want to go back to hearing the definition of "it." Obama is the best and the brightest. He has pulled up his own socks his whole life. The whole world is watching and since we need to continue to borrow oodles of cash to dig out the U.S. economy, we'd better vote Obama and invest some political capital in some self respect!
HEED MY WARNING: BEWARE THE CLINTONS!
John who? Oh yeah, the loser who hasn't even gotten in to the White House once. Good thing he's endorsing Obama. Barack will need his advice on how to gracefully lose.
Scott Said: January 25, 2008 1:54 pm ET
"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP!"
The blacks in this country will never be satisfied, no matter who is President.
They continue to move the goal post back even further after every opportunity has been met and provided over the last 41 years.
If blacks are looking for a mentor and an example of how far a black person in this country can go and achieve in his or her own life, then look no farther then Barac Obama. He has taken every advantage afforded to a black peron, and made a name and career for himself.
If John Kerry didn't have the gumption to fight the Republican machine when they came after him and swfitboated him , it's funny he's found his cahones to try and defend Obama.
Obama needs to defend himself. Trying to find some to defend him makes him look weak against a woman.
If he can't handle it now, if he becomes the nominee, the Republicans will tear him up..
Talk about the kettle calling the pot black......................
Support from Kerry signals the kiss of Death for the Illinois Guys. Losers bring only more of the same. This contest ends Feb 5th. At that time someone will have to pay the air fare back to chicago – may be an from the frderal pen.
Hey folks, listen: Obama will lose because of the ugliness of his wife, Michelle O. She may be a very smart woman but her physical feature is terrifying to watch especially for the Hicks in the South. Take a good look at her face alone. If Obama's wife was a beautiful Black woman or a White woman, the voters would vote for Obama. It pains me to say those things but it's true.
Didn't President Clinton also tell everyone, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?
Why, again, is he getting in between the contestants?
He still comes across as frigid and bitter – which, unfortunately, only helped Bush I'm sure to get re-elected.
This is like the Dr. Phil & Britney Syndrome.... He must be desperately wanting to become Obama's VP.
bill clinton needs to live in china with his wife
hillary is the tonya harding of politics.
after eight years of "organized deception", do we really want four more?
WAKE UP CLINTON SUPPORTERS!!!!!
they are using you selfishly and shamelessly!!!
the reason the economy was good in the 90's was the INTERNET!
i used to like kerry but im glad he never got elected. He's mad he could not beat bush. Kerry is worse than mitt romney.
I AM A DEMOCRAT, BUT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
I PLACE COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY.
WE ARE SO DIVIDED, EVEN AN ANT CAN GET BETWEEN US.
I COULD NEVER EVER VOTE FOR THE CLINTON'S AGAIN – ONCE WAS BAD ENOUGH.
I am amazed at how many people (Dems of course) who are sickened (as I am) by these tactics seem to think that this type of campaigning was invesnted by Karl Rove. Face it - the Clintons were doing this kind of thing way back before KR hit the scene. In fact, such conduct was for a long time referred to as "Clintonian" (or, at time "McCarvillian").
Although I know that this is wishful thinking, perhaps the loyal Democrats can now finally see the underhandedness of the ultra-liberals when their tactics are aimed at their own kind. I can understand how it would be easy to agree with those who are throwing rocks at those whom you don't like (the enemy of my enemy is my friend type of mentality), but could this possibly convince some of you that the lies and dirty tricks that pour forth from those such as Clinton & Kerry might at one time have been aimed in the same way at all Republicans as well? Or, were those attacks always justified, honest, and above board? It is worth considering, if you care to be honest with yourself.
No to "Obama Nation"
What Senator Clinton does here, and as she has continually done, is focus the attention on an adversary to take the focus off her own record. This is right out of the Bush/Rove playbook.
No honest evaluation of history would validate her claims. Taking bits and pieces of sentences uttered does not a fact make. It is bad enough that she refuses to admit that she made a mistake voting for the war resolution, (and, may I add, supported the war vocally and strongly throughout, actually using the president's own words that 'we must stay the course', until polls showed it was overwhelmingly unfavorable, and there was a presidential bid to think of), but to distort and re-write history.. well, maybe she thinks we were all asleep at the time.
The interesting point of Kerry's comments are has he forgotten how phony he was and why would CNN give him so much space for a man well past his time in the limelight. kerry says it time for change because he failed and it is past his time what a empty suit he is.
Oh, God
John Kerry, Again ! What a loser ! Big mouth ! Shame of you! Remember his famous quote " You will be sent to Iraq if you do not have education" which means our soldiers who are fighting for our country are NOT educated and stupid. I voted for his presidential bid in 2004, but I will NOT vote for him in next US Senate re-election.
I am amazed at how many people (Dems of course) who are sickened (as I am) by these tactics seem to think that this type of campaigning was invented by Karl Rove. Face it - the Clintons were doing this kind of thing way back before KR hit the scene. In fact, such conduct was for a long time referred to as "Clintonian" (or, at times "McCarvillian").
Barak Obama started this fuss. He didn't expect such a strong response. Good for Bill and Hillary for responding to the constant barrage of mean-spirited nit-picking of the Obama group. Hillary Clinton will be the next President of the United States. We need someone who has intelligence and a plan, not someone who can lead a cheer on stage. Glad Obama's fired up and ready to go, but first he needs a plan to run this country. Doesn't appear that he has one.
You libs are funny. The Clinton's do nothing but lie, you continue to blame the VRWC, which doesn't and never did exist. By the way, the word is spelled loser, not looser. Get a grip on reality
Haha. Who even cares what Kerry thinks? Kerry is the reason that America was forced into 4 more miserable years under the worst president in history – George W Bush. If Kerry were to stand up in this election, even Kucinich would beat him. So who really cares what he thinks?
Ofcourse Kerry wants Obama to win now and will say anything against Bill Clinton to make Obama win – Kerry is too ashamed of his loss in '04 and doesn't want to be part of a "losing team" again. Too bad though – cuz Hillary's going to be the next president.
Hillary '08.
STOP WHINING OBAMA!! OR OBAMA SURROGATES!! I DON'T CARE WHAT KERRY SAYS.
THE ONLY GOOD IDEAS FOR THE COUNTRY CAME FROM CLINTONS IN THE LAST 30 YEARS!!
Lest we all forget, Bill Clinton has a history of taking license with the truth.....(I did not have sex etc...) This should be no surprise. Anyone in the country who actually still believes deserves him.
Everybody needs to face facts. All these candidates have things in their past that can be deemed as negative. They all need to clean up their campaigns and focus on the issues. The one thing the Democratic Party needs to be aware of is a possible riff within the party wants a candidate is determined.
I wonder what high ranking government position Obama has promised Kerry if he is nominated & elected.
I'll guarantee you– if Hillary Clinton turns out to be the Democratic nominee, John Kerry will do an about-face so fast it will make your head spin. He'll be singing her praises far & wide.
[This goes for the GOP talking heads too-- who they support today & who they'll support next week is open to change at any moment.]
I supported Kerry in his run for President, but politic are politics, and you have to take whatever he (or most any other politician) says, and then look at the big picture to figure out what is really happening.
If Obama loses the nomination, Kerry will be waving adios to him and hello to Hillary in a heartbeat.
This is just a micro view of what the country will get if the "Clintons" are elected. Scandals, personal attacks, lies and corruption just like in the '90s. I'm a conservative but I think Obama is basically a good person. I disagree with Obama's stand on the issues but he would probably be a good honest president if elected. I hope Obama crushes them. These "Clintons" are swine of the lowest level. The "Clintons" should run for election in Mexico or Venezuala which is more their speed.
Right...I care what Kerry thinks..These idiots are going to another Republican in the white house. Maybe the Dems deserve it, but the country doesn't. I guess if the independent party gets big enough it might make a difference some day. Kerry needs to go home and retire. He already has enough money...
Kerry wants a Veep nod.
Who cares what Kerry says? He's a loser. Hilary and Obama are both doing what it takes to win. He attacked her, about being a Walmart Corporate Lawyer, and she striked back. Kerry and Obama should stop whinning and respond the attack.
Kerry refusal to adequately respond to Bush's Swift Boat led to his defeat. The Clintons have lots of vulnerabilities.
Wait a few minutes. Kerry may waffle on this one.
Bill Clinton.
Impeached for being a liar.
Disbarred from law for being liar.
And still there are those who think he may have something honest to say.
I am very sorry for Mr. Obama, I would rather have anybody besides Mr. Kerry on my side. Who knows, in a few days he may even endorse Bill Clinton himself!
Kerry, stay out of this. Everyone is saying to both candidates to dial the negativity back. Why is Kerry jumping into this at this late hour?
2 words......"CATTLE FUTURES"
2 more........"WHITE WATER"
Nuff said!
I am sure Kerry meant well but I don't think saying that the former president
abused the TRUTH was a poor choice of words. He could have done a better
job of defending Obama for abuse period. I hope Hillary doesn't win. Can you
imagine what influence he will have on her. Not good.
you know i have listened to alot of clinton backers and you know what bill and hill r playing right into the republicans hands, you keep it up hill and all you will do is give the republicans ammo and they will use it to win the whitehouse in november and then we r screwed
Tired of the Nepotism? We have had 20 years of Clinton-Bush. America is ready for Change.
What you say a Clinton abusing the truth... "Did not inhale" and "Did not have sexual relations" are two that come to mind.
As an independent voter I have never voted for a Republican but if MaCain and Clinton run then the choice is obvious it will be MaCain. Its time for some new blood at the helm no more Bush or Clinton.
I am really disappointed by the attacks on Hillary Clinton. Her candidacy is clearly more of a historic event than Obama's, as America has never had a female president, despite having had a female majority for many decades. I believe it is time for a majority candidate and Hillary is the only one running! She also has more relevant and greater experience!
"If she's elected it will be the biggest shakeup that Washington has even known. She's tough, she's got heart, and she's smart. She should win the presidency because of these qualities"
Um, the Clintons are the quintessential insiders... they are in bed with some of the same interests the other side is.. and some even worse ones to boot. As for having intelligence and drive, sociopaths with law degrees have these qualities. Intelligence and ambition are not character or wisdom... as these two show.
Colene – what a great description of Hillary -
"THE TONYA HARDING OF POLITICS"!
Obama better watch out – Hillary may clock him with a hubcap!
2 Reasons for our Economic Mess
1. NAFTA – Clinton
2. THE IRAQ WAR – Bush
We are really under bondage to these 2 families.
After all the lying and backbiting from the Clintons, I would vote republican than vote for Hillary.
It looks like democrats are finally realizing what republicans learned long ago–the Clintons will do and say anything to achieve what they want, regardless of the consequences. I must admit I never really believed what the republicans of the 90s said about the Clinton's but it's turning out to be spot on. Increasingly it's obvious that Hillary wants to be President regardless of what she has to do or who she has to destroy in the process. Their subtle use of race to divide the democratic electorate is appalling. They are portraying Obama as the Black candidate for the democratic nomination in an "us vs them" manner. Look at Obama's support amongst white voters in South Carolina over the past week - he's down to 10% from around 25-30%
They're telling outright lies about Obama. Everyone says that voters can see through the lies in political campaigns but I'm not so sure. Remember this is the country where some 40% of the population still believes Saddam had something to do with 9/11. Furthermore, Bill Clinton is a former US President. There is not a single person alive today that carries as much weight as he does when he speaks. All this puts Obama in an impossible position.
Hillary will get the nomination and in the process destroy the democratic party. She'll lose in November and the country will be looking at 4-8 more years of republican rule.
Even Kerry can be right once in a while. The Clintons are really showing their "dark side", and the public is sick of them.
Hillary has no charisma nor charm, is a screeching hag of a speaker, and Bill is just a red-faced confirmed perjurer trying to pick fights everywhere, as IF this could help Hillary's campaign. It's not helping her, but it does help the public see their true nature. A couple of carpetbaggers who have see the end and don't like it.
There is still time for the Clintons to do something unselfish for their party and their country. Hillary should drop out of the campaign and give her full support to Obama.
the joke's on liberals. liberals cannot, cannot tell the truth. period!! and if anyone thinks otherwise, just think grand jury!! dirt bags!
Ben from Columbus. You say Clinton has actually done something for African Americans.
FACT. More African Americans went to prison for life under laws created by Bill Clinton than any other time in history.
FACT. More blacks were killed in Africa through military operations (Somalia) directed by Bill Clinton than any other time in history.
FACT. More blacks were prevented from entering the U.S. (via Haiti) and drowned at sea through operations directed by Bill Clinton than any other time in history.
Whatever you think Bill Clinton has done for blacks is smoke and mirrors – and lies.
Well, Well what kind of a Democrat do we have in you Mr. Kerry? You sure do have a short memory sir. You of all people should know what unjust malignment feels like, I know you didn,t like the Swiftboat fiasco now did you? Man am I ever glad they sacked you, where were the feathers and tar? Your good fortune Mr. Kerry,held up I suppose. Mr. I will spend a good while thinking of a way to retire you. The wife is working well enough, but i'm sure she needs some additional help. The least I will do is the most popular thing down South, "don't buy Heinz, ever."
If I sound terrible Mr. Kerry it's because this situation you helped set up turned me this way. I am glad you lost however, you are dumber than ole Hallygeorge. You have ruined my day.
The elephant in the room is the attacks the GOP will haul out on Team Clinton. Since BIll is running as faux Co-President his ethical lapses will all be front and center and unless he recedes to the background fast, Hillary Clinton will have 50%+ negatives by the general election. Obama has not touched any of the obvious material.
The unholy warmongering alliance of multinational corporates / neo-con ideologues / financial industry / military industry / bigoted zionists will do everything to silence and discredit Kerry: his anti-war imperialist war message just might rekindle the progressive movement...
Thanks to Bush who has made everyone's color show clear. We might be getting closer to hitting the bottom, so that we could get it right this time.
Who cares what Kerry thinks. He obviously doesn't know how to win an election. Why isn't the Obama camp telling him to pipe it down?
BILLARY = LIES, DECEPTION, POWER PLAYING, MANIPULATING, CHEATING.......
Basically, not what Democrats should be about. Shame on the Clintons for brining our party down into the mud!!!!!
Obama 08!!!!!!!!!
I love seeing Bill do this, diminishing his undeserved stature and tarnishing his joke of a legacy. Keep it up, Billy Boy!
Just what this nation needs Bush Clinton Bush Clinton. And they think they are agents for change. Fact is her negatives are 58% among independents. Even as a Democrat I dont like her and well Bill, I used to like him..now im not so keen on him.
Once again the Dems are shooting themselves in the foot. We could have had Obama.. maybe we still can.
John Kerry wanted both clintons to help him run for office when it was his turn but suddenly he's anti-clinton. SHUT UP KERRY and get a life!
Now I know why John Kerry is fighting for Obama because he wants to be his VP and which will never happen. Anyways, Kerry picked Edwards as his VP and Edwards disgraced him and now he moving over to Obama to salvage is defeat so that loosers keeps good company.
Finally, John F. Kerry says something worthwhile. Hopefully he'll keep saying it. I'm surprised CNN (Clinton News Network) didn't censor his comments.
Hey bigdawg.. .he has been answering the questions but he shouldn't be, the Clinton's questions are like the old “have you stopped beating your wife yet", it doesn't matter how he answer the question is intended to make you look bad, this is basic Clinton 101. Finally the left get to see what most reasonable people have known all along, the Clintons are power hungry, duplicitous, unprincipled, ruthless, devious, and corrupt. We need them for another 4 year?…wake-up people.
Guess what? Kerry did turn out to be flip flop as Bush had accused him to be. Did he forget that Clintons had campaigned for him when he was running for president? Where was Obama at that time?
Normally I don't agree with Kerry, but he was right on about this. Go Obama!
I don't get you demos. First, you cannot win against an unpopular president (that's what CNN says) during an unpopular war. Now, you try, repeat, try to nominate an unelectable Hillary, who is doing all sorts of damage to someone who might make an OK president, running against a Tax and Spend liberal. Why not nominate Dean and just be done with the election, instead of just going on and on destroying yourselves through a slow death. Looks like another republican in the office!
Are the demo powers just stupid, or arrogant? Out of touch and arrogant!
The Democrats are imploding.
Kerry is hardly an authority on the truth. BUT it is astonishing watching the first black president orchestrate the slandering of the man who could actually be the first black president. While the Clintons pretend to be advocates for African-Americans, they have their campaign continually bring up drug use, slum lords and most wonderfully "that Obama will win in SC because it's a black state". Even the biggest moonbats must be uncomfortable with this.
If Hillary wins he could say I was for Obama before I was against him????
If Kerry is so "concerned" about the truth – why did he tell congress Vietnam Vets were a bunch of rapers and murderers?
He's a proven Liar along with his Traitor Bud Hanoi Jane Fonda
Vietnam Vet 173rd Airborne Bde 68-69
What does "abusing the truth" mean?
i don't like the clintons or obama as far as politics goes, but it's pretty obvious that the opportunistic flip flopper is looking for a spot as v.p.
“When Clinton and others on the left attack Obama over this interview, they are only demonstrating why we need a change.”
Amen to that!
I think Kerry Was out of touch with reality in 2004 and again in 2008. All Kerry want is another Republican in the white house and make our country suffer for another 4 years. Kerry is a loser and who listen to him. No one listen to him when he was talking for himself, who cares when he talk for someone else. Let Hilery and Obama run this compaign the way they want. If Kerry want he cant answer about Swift Boat now.
Uh Oh...another wheel came off the Clinton machine.
I love the terms these guys can INVENT for calling
each other LIERS....
where i grew up "abusing the truth" was so much
more simply put: LIER !
and btw how low must mr. clinton be to be called
a LIER by mr. kerry...its the pot calling the POT black !
All this is: Is a man (Kerry) standing up for another man (Obama). Have we all lost site of how important that is??? No wonder the Clinton's do so well...
Kerry was a loser, run on no ability for USA president, he also is not a good man and you would see how he treat John Edward.
Clinton is helping his wife and Mrs. Omama is helping her husand. Kerry should stay out of the family feud.
Former president should have the manners of a "Diplomat"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The "Clinton Empire" are not showing any respect for the common people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"Corporate Giants" equals the "Clinton Empire"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Why does a young fourth grader get to live with the memory of not being considered "Good Enought" to speak with a young person from the "Clinton Empire"?????????
Agree with Rex wholeheartedly.
I like Bill, but truth telling is not one of his strengths. Let's get real people...Bill has been distorting the truth like crazy. That's what he does. That's what a lot of politicians do. The only difference is that Bill adds a little more drama and finger wagging to make you think he really is telling the truth.
As already mentioned in comments above – stop the in-fighting. Democrats need to stop the bickering back and forth between each other and start going after the republican candidates – why aren't we seeing headlines about Clinton going after Romney, Obama going after McCain? Instead we get to hear about the former, losing Democratic nominee from 2004 giving an unflattering opinion of another Democrat who supported him back in 04....
And for all who keep throwing out the old Bill Clinton impeachment garbage(lying, etc..) at least he didn't send 4,000 soldiers to their deaths, wound even thousands more soldiers, and kill an incredible amount of civilians (in a foreign country, no less) based on his lies to the American people and congress – get a grip on yourself if you have the audacity to even mention Clinton being a 'liar.'
Mr. Kerry, after you lost, you retreated to the silence of defeat. You could have been a strong voice for the American people against the wrong policies of GWB. But Hillary chose to be that strongest voice of the party and for the American people. I wonder if you have done thorough research about Obama before endorsing him. Some things in his background that are now apparent does not support his standing as " a breath of fresh air " in American politics that the media has reported. Our country will be better off with Hillary as president. Go Hillary '08.
Bill should cool it, Barak will unify the country, while Bill will only succeed to divide the democratic party. Clintons have to dig into Obamas' past to find the least little thing, and try to make a negative. He is not a truth teller as witnessed by his impeachment, for lying under oath. He is not under oath now and lies even harder.
Hillarys' experience is exagerated, she wrote a childrens book, for the start of a presidential run, then had tea partys at home and abroad. Hillary wants to share Bills' successes, will she share in his impeachment, did she give up her law license because Bills was revoked.
Who will want to be vice president, with Bill in the way. Kerry has a right to speak out, he had more votes than Clinton had in 92 and 96; even though he lost in 04.
One thing is clear is that the Clinton team is willing to divide the party to win the nomination, only to lose the general election. You can be sure that the young and black will sit this one out if Barak loses due to Clinton lies and dirty tricks. Hillary can not afford that with her high negatives to begin with. The only thing that Hillary can unite is the republican party to turn out and dems to stay home election day.
Ben, Columbus, Ohio January 25, 2008 1:05 pm ET: "As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us?"
Hey Ben,
It's "what has John Kerry every done for us?".
Please tell me that most of you who are posting comments are not reasonable adults because the Kerry, Obama, and even Hillary bashing/slandering is childish. You are the reason why this country is in the state it is...
Its okay support your candidate but not at the cost of respect.
When will we put an end to the dynasties in the US? If we give Hillary the nod, come back with Jeb Bush, why in 16 years Chelsea will be old enough to be president. When does it end?? I would say we should end it now.
That did it. I am a long standing Conservative Republican, and I just MIGHT change to a Democrat DURING the primaries and vote for Obama to stop the clinton slime machine. Let's just say I will do this for the "cause".
Then I will vote Conservative during the General.
Hold on now- ALL Politicians have licenses to abuse teh truth!!
So, John Kerry walks into a bar and the bartender says "Hi John, why the long face?"
Regarding Mr. Kerry's comments about Mr. Clinton, I am now finally very glad that he did not win in 2004!!! He is just spiteful and wants to make noises.Hillary is it and he better should get used to it!!!
Kerry who?? Is it the guy who got beaten by Bush Jr. in the past election?
A am shocked at the number of people who say Kerry is a loser. Actually the losers are the American people that had to and still have to suffer thru another 4 years of Bush. Maybe the losers are the people who didn't get out and vote.
As for Bill, I can't help but notice that it says that Obama does better with educated people. That about says it all in my book. You would have to be stupid to fall for Bill and Hillary's lying lips.
OBAMA Supporters:
Listen Up!
See, your man is not ready yet to be president. He lacks INTELLECTUAL STRENGTH, and this is always borne up during the debates. He cannot withstand the strong board room back and forth that a president has to deal with in a cabinet meeting, etc.
Sorry guys, this is HILLARY's TIME. Obama's last stand is SC, and we might even sneak a surprise on him there!
Go HILLARY 08!!!
As for John Kerry, .... i forgive you, man.
I am for Obama over Clinton anyday, but REALLY, John Kerry?! However, if some people will listen to him and vote for Obama, it will have been worth utlizing the blowhard.
I finally understand why Mr. Clinton said "GIVE ME A BREAK" what HILLARY said regarding MLK and Johnson was a positive fact in history – THE TRUTH however you look at it is when you are educated – about facts! Since then OBAMA and his campaign have accused both clintons of the worst – not cool! I'm voting for HILLARY because she is the best human for the job – and as for Ed... if you are such a GROWN UP, how come you have to say you are – you don't need the FBI or the CIA to know that the real offense is how uneducated people are in America and how much of a rude awakening how sad that OBAMA is just as human an uneducated as anyone else in politics. Vote for whoever you want but accusing the clintons of all this B.S. does have to stop or those accusing will realize they only ending their own chances to win – this is not a WO-MAN VS MAN issue or has anything to do with race – it's the human race – get a clue people...
The educated voter will be the winner!
I'm a young independent. The reason I am independent is because instead of identifying with one particular party, I see ideals in both that appeal to me. What does NOT appeal to me is the negative campaigning. I am tired of the bickering, and I tire of the misrepresentation of the facts by all.
I will not be voting for Clinton because she does not represent my values properly. I have yet to decide if I will vote for Obama or a McCain– I am waiting for breadth of their races. I like the thought that Obama will bring something fresh to Washington. His race is not a factor to me. He represents for me, the changing face of America. He exudes what Hillary fails: Warmth, Genuine Excitement, Enthusiasm, and Change.
Many of you have said that what one does in their personal life does not matter in their campaign for presidency and I believe that is false. If one has a habit of making bad decisions, they will more than likely continue to do so. I think Hillary makes bad decisions based on the state of her household and her time as a NY Senator. I do not trust her husband, as he lacks the innate credibility of a spouse and leader. He is neither loyal, nor genuine–and U.S. history reflects the awful flaws of his character.
I think many women across America are disillusioned. They seem to identify Hillary as this strong woman who has, with them, changed along the decades. She is not. Unlike many of you, she does not have the ability to maintain a happy and productive home. She has no experience coming out on top when situations get rough. She simply hides and diverts her path to another road. America needs unity in our time of crisis and Hillary does not come across as a unifying figure. Washington needs something new, and she is not new, but rather a re-run of what has already been.
The Clinton's: Hillary and Bill are conning America. Their agenda is for themselves. If Americans cannot see this we are in deep trouble. I'd like to see someone altogether new in office. No more Clintons and No more Bush. let's get real and move on.
Arizona Voter
Who is John Kerry to be the democratic judge,
I never would have voted for him had I known what a back stabber he is.
There's no telling who Kerry will support tomorrow; perhaps Gravel of Alaska. This dude goes which ever direction the wind blows.
Oh please. This is just another instance of John Kerry being all about ... John Kerry. Note that the full qoute is about Kerry saying how ""We" are going to shatter ..." He is angling for a VP slot or some form of bonus for supporting Obama.
I used to admire Clintons, but events of the past month reversed my opinion 180 degrees. Hillary Clinton clearly knows how to play political games – hers and Bill's "experience" in these games fools more and more people. The only question is if she will win the democratic nomination this way – can she beat the republican masters of political games in November? – I don't think so! Especially given the fact that she does not have support among independents and now loosing big chunk of the democrats who finally see real face and "values" of Clintons and their old team. This great country got fooled in 2000, then in 2004, and now we see the same foolish political games in 2008. People who really care about this country and your own future – wake up!
This is not Kerry's time. He obviously wasn't eloquent enough to verbalize his way to the presidency. Bill Clinton, albeit not perfect, is an accomplished American President.
Any negative comments need to be targeted toward the current administration and its henchmen who have, in the last seven years, managed to ruin this country.
A word to Mr. Kerry and the rest of us DFL Party – Let Hillary, Obama, and their spouses duke it out. Its part of the process! Watch, listen, and learn. Eventually our candidate will be selected. In the mean time, lets stand as one !
God bless Hillary, Obama, and Edwards. While we have a choice to make, let it be in the voting booth. Let the bickering end, and the restoration of this country begin. Lets show the Republican party how a government by and for the people not only works, but sets an example – one the rest of the world doesn't hate us for.
Tell all your friends to vote. Power to the people – lets take it back.
God Bless our candidates, and god bless America !
I love to watch liberals implode....I mean, wasn't Bill Clinton your hero just a few years ago. Weren't you defending him to the upmost while he PERJURED himself?
Now you turn on him and recognize him for what he actually is AND was, prior to this election season.
A few short years ago, you called Kerry your president-to-be, defending him against accusations from heroic war veterans, now he's just a flip flopper.
HAHA, welcome to reality, I am glad you've finally been enlightened, to bad the learning curve has been so elongated for you.
Everytime men have campaigned for President they always "parade" their wives, children, sisters, or mothers around the campaign arena....even Barak Obama. I see no reason why Bill Clinton can't be out there "plugging" for his wife. Hillary has done the same thing for Bill on numerous occasions. She deserves some reciprocation. John Kerry needs to keep his mouth shut...and if Obama can't take it, he needs to get out of the race.
Maybe Herman Munster AKA John Kerry should ask his buddies the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth to step in and publicize some dirt on the Clintons. He'd be doing America a favor to make those two hillbilly trash Democrats disappear from the public scence forever. Behind bars would be a good place.
"What does "abusing the truth" mean?"
Senatorspeak for translating out of context while implying direct lies without saying a former president is lying.
I think it's a new form of linguistic statistics that doesn't rely on graphs and scale to distort reality just the failure of our education system.
Of course as Bill knows what "is" means I'm sure he understood completely.
I think that John Kerry is just a sore loser since he did not win the presidential election in 2004. It's his own doing that he lost that election. Bill Clinton has the right to say what he believes will help distinguish the qualifications between Hillary and Barack. In the last debate, we saw the real Obama – rude and inexperienced. Look at his facial expression while Hillary was speaking – stoic
Did anyone in the media make any comment on that? And his reply regarding interest rates was just "stupid". Was he listening or was he in another space? I thought he is good in public speaking. Nope!!!!
More debates between Hillary and Obama, PLEASE!!!!
and by the way, It was ok for Obama to call Edwards"white" and to make reference to "brother" when asked if Clinton was the first Black President.
It would be interesting to see if the Clintons made this kind of remarks?
I have to wonder why everyone is getting on the band wagon against the clintons. kerry should stick to what he knows best "marrying socialites." He has been using too much ketchup. What did barack promise him? A vice presidency?
Way To Go Kerry! Keep putting presure on the Clintons!
To all those accusing the Clintons of being liars.........
Tell me what they said that is a lie. What stateent did they make that you consider a lie?
I don't know why on earth anyone would even give John Kerry the time of day. This man single handedly lost the most easiest election possible. He has no credibility and he should go home and retire. John Kerry, Mary Beth Cahill and Susan Estrich are the last people who should be telling anyone how to run their campaigns. They are worst than incompetent.
Neither of them would know what the truth is if it hit them in the rear end. Or even what is- is.
I love John Kerry, he is a great guy. God knows Kerry will rule this great nation one day. Those who are attacking him are doing so because of sheer jealousy...
I am voting for Obama during the primaries. However, if Hillary gets nomination, it will be so much fun watching the Republicans chew out Billary.
Can you imaging Hillary saying "I have 35 yrs of drinking tea experience with other presidents wives and i can solve the economy problem". Romney will eat her up.
Will definately vote Republican this fall if Hillary is nominated.
Regarding the vile look on Hillary's face when she attacked Obama. It was SCARY!!!! It will be forever etched in my mind. When the moderator tried to interrupt her, she said something like, "Wait a minute, don't stop us now; we are just getting warmed up." She was revelling in the whole exchange. I imagined her rolling around in the mud pulling out hair to get what she wants. I was never caught up in the whole Clinton worship thing. Thought she was a smart enough woman and had Barack Obama not surfaced, would have thought she would be a good candidate. Not after I saw that exchange on Saturday. It was ugly and showed a side of her that was repugnant! No wonder Bill had all those affairs. I can't blame the man. She is an ice princess! Obama represents something revolutionary. Clinton represents the same old recyled policies. Yeah I'd like to see a woman in the White House, but not this woman. Should she win the seat, she will be so divisive and distructive that by the time she's done, we will not see another woman in the White House for decades. So, all you Clinton supporters, look past your desire to have a woman in the white house. Why not hold out for an extraordinary woman so that she can leave a positive legacy for other woman who are aspiring to that position.
Sen. Kerry has to be kidding. To chide someone about protocol when he has none. He disrespected his running mate by endorsing someone else without the courtesy of a phone call. He is desperately wants to remain relevant, but is going about it in the wrong way.
He is doing the same thing that he is accusing others of doing. We still remember what you said to those students about going to Iraq.
It's funny how it took until 2008 for Democrats to finally realize that Bill Clinton has a problem telling the truth. Everyone else came to that conclusion about a decade ago. Welcome to reality, Dems!
If Kerry would have fought the republicans mcahine the way the Clitons are fighting for the best job in America, he would have been the sitting president now.
Kerry we heard you but you are not selling.
Of course Kerry's going to try to sway the Votes for Sen. Clinton by BASHING Bill Clinton... KERRY ENDORSED OBAMA...Keep up the spinning...OBAMA JUST AVOIDING THE REAL PRESIDENTIAL...Keep up the good work Sen Clinton...IGNORE THE SPIN.....former Pres. Clinton Stand up against the Spinners and Keep us informed who's spinning....EVEN THE MEDIA,,,,,,GOOD JOB CLINTN CAMPAIGN.....sooner or later OBAMA"S head is gonna SPIN OFF
You are entitled to your opinion John Kerry, but I really think you are abusing the truth. Your comments are also quite over the top!
John Kerry.............Sorry but you gave in to attacks on yourself in the previous election rather than take it to the mat. Stay out of this and get a life that will help this country. Where have you been since the Economy tanked months ago???????????????????
Bill Blinton is abusing the truth in the fashion of
Genghis Khan.. haha
Thank you active military and veterans.
> you need to chill Bubba, I am sick of these Repulican style attacks.
Given that the Clintons have been leveling EXACTLY these kind of attacks for OVER 15 YEARS, it is more accurate to concede that you are sick of these Democratic style attacks.
Kelly is right, the former president has just gone too far to in critising senator Obama. What would happen if all the presidents now living can stand up and take sides? It shows how power hungry the Clintons are. Tristing the facts for political gain is what the Clintons are doing
Obviously, Kerry is even more of a waffler than we knew. It's this type of 360-degree changes that make him so terribly entertaining...
Bill Clinton has spent a lifetime in politics in Arkansas and on the bigger stage of national politics, and he has always "abused" the truth wherever he has gone and whatever he has done. He doesn't know what the truth is. He just knows what he wants it to be; so he tells people what he wants to be the truth. It's funny to hear a fellow Democrat accuse Bill Clinton of something that most of the rest of us have known about him for years.
Obama started the whole nit picking, is everyone forgetting that?
You want a change, well let's put a woman in the White House instead of another man. Men and women are different in how they handle situations. Men are Men. color does not matter.
Hillary is looked at with a fine tooth comb. Even the clothes she wears are evaluated.
Kerry is doing no favors for Obama by sticking his nose in this. He lost to Bush "The Village Idiot" and I have little respect for him.
When is Obama going to talk about how he is going to fix the economic nightmare going on now.
At least with Clinton we had 8 years of out debt. and had surplus money.
Obama is a fine candidate but his time is not now.
Pot calls the kettle black!
Everyone here, take a look at the headlines and see how many times you see the name Clinton. Take a look at their "news" coverage on television and see how many times you hear Clinton. Has anyone here seen the Clinton Chronicles? While I don't believe everything in it, it does raise SERIOUS questions for me, also take a look at "The Century of the Self" on google video or youtube. If you take a look, especially towards the end it talks about how the Clintons used marketing strategists to convince people that they were one of them and on their side, that's why people think the 90's were so good. So good that we had to drive gas guzzling SUV's, sign NAFTA agreements to loose our overabundance of jobs, and make our military smaller.
Kudos to you John! I now have a lot more respect for you in telling the truth. Bill Clinton's distortion of Barack's integrity and bull dog tactics is disgraceful. But since Clinton himself said he doesn't give a "rip" what anyone thinks of him, the bullying mentality will continue.
Shame on you Bill!
Truth Squad what a statement
Dont you realise that the U.S. population has grown also since Clinton was elected.
If Kerry had talked this way about W. Bush, maybe he would be president today.
It is a pity to read from all these pack of bloggers who indiputably support Hillary from distant Germany. They are only full of insults. They are mean-spirited, even silly! It is shocking! How do they expect to woo decent people to support Hillary. Wake up America!
This great country got fooled in 2000, then in 2004, and now we see the same foolish political games in 2008. Why people fall so easily to these dirty political games?! People who really care about this country and your own future – wake up!
i think this is not d time for folks to start attacking 1 candidate or the other,you just need to listen to what change they have got to offer.
Hell Hath No Fury Like A Clinton Supporter Scorned
What the Clinton's are saying is, Obama is a nice black boy who isn't ready for a big job. Sound familar!
he is a silly man Kerry.. very silly man
if it is the truth why mean "abusing the truth"
it is either the truth or it is not the truth
if it is the truth then it is the truth does not matter the abuse
I Iike Hillary Clinton, very good lady for all woman in this country USA and also in all the world we support you.
It seems Kerry is lacking loyalty. How many people can he screw over in one campaign? I thought he was a mistake 4 years ago and I am so glad he is proving me right today. Hillary, Edwards, and the rest of true LOYAL Democrats are better off without him!
I find it shocking that more Americans don't see through the Clintons. If they did, then Hillary wouldn't still be the leading Democratic candidate in national polls. When it comes right down to it, if Democrats nominate Clinton and she ends up going against McCain, she will lose and we'll have 4 more years of Republicans in the white house. Beyond that, she's an inherently divisive political figure, which means that even if she wins the presidential election, her ability to accomplish anything as president will be greatly diminished. And even beyond that, I simply find it incredible that anyone would be interested in having a president who engages in a campaign as nasty and win-at-all-costs oriented as she and her de facto vice-president Bill have. She truly strikes me as being far more interested in simply being president than she is in actually serving the country. Please, Democrats, wake UP!!
Why did Bill cost Hillary my vote on February 5th? Not because he stretched the truth. But because in doin so, he insulted my intelligence. With everything a candidate says being recorded these days, it took 30 seconds to find the full clip where Obama's comments are put into context. No one as smart as Bill could have thought Obama was praising Reagon's ideas. So Bill was simply saying 'I don't think you, the voters, are smart enough to decipher the truth. Bill, I admire what you are doing with the Clinton Global Initiative. Now go back to it and stop making us all remember the dark side of 90's politics.
Poor Bill...we all thought he was a good president in the 90s then the truth unveiled itself. Inflated stock market which began crashing in his last months in office, sleep at the wheel on terrorism (except for bombing some pill factories in Sudan), sleep at the wheel on global warming and alternative energy (now we know he was on the payroll of the shieks).
Why did Hilary vote to invade Iraq?
Its all Bill's fault. Sources say his neglect left here alone late nights giving an opening for Paul Wolfowitz to get in her ear.
Yes to Hilary. No to Bill.
Great stuff!I I could get to like this primary business. Imagine that, Democrats pointing fingers at each other and saying awful, demeaning things. I must say, I for one am enjoying this theater immensely.
For someone who could not defend himself when he was running, John kerry sure know how to carry water for someone else. Maybe he think he's in line for VP since if Obama wins, he sure will need a babysitter; Just like George Bush.
To those who keep saying that the Clintons have done so much for Blacks, please enlighten me. What have they done? Really, what have they done?
Why should we all get worked up about ANYTHING any politician says? They're all out there for their egos.
What works for me is a complete – Democrat-Republican-Independent wipe out in Washington DC and most state capitals, too. How about a third party of the people for a change???
Tired of all the attention given these liars and wannbes.
I apologtze to you CNN.There are many that blame you and call you biased on all sides,but it's mostly frustration at having no voice.After reading most of the blogs all day,I fear that hate is dividing this country.I do not think anyone is stupid,racist,blind hateful or un-American for backing their candidate,but surely ther are more voices than some that have over fifty posts,and they contain nothing but hateand vitriol.And this is simply from ONE person!(you know who you are,Blank from pa).but I am sure you understand the rightful indignation that some feel,when they post an intelligent critique,only to see hate printed instead.And to the bloggers,I appreciate constructive criticism,but fail to grasp the use of schoolyard childlike rants with no substance.Please lay off the hate and stop abusing others for their choice.It's called Freedom.
Obama started the whole nit picking, is everyone forgetting that?
Hillary is looked at with a fine tooth comb. Even the clothes she wears are evaluated.
When is Obama going to talk about how he is going to fix the economic nightmare going on now.
At least with Clinton we had 8 years of out debt. and had surplus money.
As democrates we can all feel good that the 3 Top Canidates would all do a fine job. Poor Republicans have no one running that is worthy to be President.
Obama is a fine candidate but his time is not now. A little more experience and I think he will be able to implement change.
I love reading the Clinton-bots attacking John DDDD Kerry. What a bunch of scum the left is. Eat your own. Hysterical.
When did John Kerry ever tell the truth. This is the pot calling the kettle black.
I was stunned, when John Kerry publically endorsed Obama as a presidential candidate, rather than his extremely well-qualified Vice Presidential running mate John Edwards. Since then, I've begun to question what John Kerry says all the way.
I believe Hillary Clinton, and John Edwards are both extremely qualified to be our president and look out for the welfare of our people and our country. I don't believe Obama is qualified to adequately handle the enormity of the task at hand, come January. He would be relying too heavily on certain advisors with their own agenda's just as the current administration has done since 2000.
Those of you who think that Bill Clinton is a divider need to think about his two terms in office. The GOP hated him, but they were also willing to work with him. The worked together to balance the budget for example (neither could have done it alone). Hillary is highly respect by the military and by other Senators. You don't have to like someone to work with them. You do, however, have to know where they stand. A guy who votes present 123 times is hard to get a read on. BTW, I know a rep in the IL legislature (on the GOP side unfortunately but a very nice person). Voting present that much is NOT normal. The tactic, apparently, is most commonly used to avoid taking the heat on a vote. Obama's excuse in the debate was contrived at best. If Hillary had done that, eveyone would be calling her a liar. I want someone as president who can negotiate, not someone who would give a great state of the union address.
I think that as long the opponents draw Bill out front it gives the appearance of him running for his third term, rather than Hillary running for her first. This makes it difficult to sell the idea that she is the agent of 'change'. Instead it implicitly frames the debate with overtones of the 1990's. That's not moving forward.
Kerry is just looking for a way to make himself relevant and possibly an Obama administration cabinet position. Who knows maybe even VP.
You ask what Bill clinton did for Black People, nothing, nothing, nothing. what make you think he did something for Black PEople? well Use Them. Master Clinton. Is that what Black People want.
Wow the FLIP FLOPPER is out of the bag john kerry is a sour old man who needs to sit down somewhere because his career is so washed up and finished that he would say and do anything to get back in the media BILL CLINTON is more of a PRESIDENT then john kerry can ever dream of being. he is mad because BUSH stomp the hell out of him in 04 so KERRY keep your mouth closed PRICK
To Ben in Columbus: Exactly what is any president supposed to DO for you? Give you everything and make you work for nothing? Clinton did something for Blacks? In the words of Malcolm X, you really HAVE been hoodwinked, run amock, led astray. It's blacks like you and your white apologists that keeps you in the seespool you're in you pathetic welfare sponge.
why does the Communist news network (CNN) always keep negative comments made against the clintons on the ticker for hours, and take off positive news about Hillary , e.g New York times story It is quite obivious that they are pro poor OBAMA and will do whatever they can do to get him elected.
I do not expect this to stay on because of the negative critisims to CNN oh well. I still enjoy the news though.
The more criticism I hear about the Clintons, the more I want to vote for them. I am still on the fence, but If anyone thinks Bill Clinton should not be campaigning for his wife, they are wrong. Because one of his jobs in life was President of the United States, dosn't mean he can't back his wife. I'm 50 years old, and every Prsidential election I have ever been a part of, All the canidates had there wives/husbands behind them campaigning. Granted most of them were men, but this is 2008. That is lame ammunition. Tell me you wouldn't back your spouse.
Watching black voters give up the "race card" for the sake of Bill and Hillary is way beyond anyones logic.
Must be Hillarys cameo impression of a Black Pastor that won their hearts!
What an insult to anyones intelligence.......eating that up for a few Happy Meals!
Kerry once again muddies the water. Why does he take on the republicans? Is he secretly working for Rove?
Being a stateman or going back to the WHITE HOUSE???
Obviously Bill Clinton wants to go back to the WHITE HOUSE at all cost. Unfortunately this is telling hard, infact very hard, on Bill Clinton morally and healthwise. The good looking Bill Clinton is now looking more than 20 years older than his age, this is bad for Bill Clinton.
Most men I know would defend their family against attacks and as far as I can see Obama dose plenty of attacking. How about you all stop whining and get down to what matters. Kerry should know better is he going to complaine when the Republicans go after him? This Attack stuff goes both ways.
Thank you John Kerry!
I officially hate BOTH clintons and if they steal the nomination , I will vote Republican in protest because there will be no difference between the Republican and Hillary anyway.
Republicans are open with being evil
Hillary is deceptive with being evil
Both are evil.
Someone said " just had a very scary thought. What if Hillary won the nomination and then picked Bill as her VP runningmate. I think I'd leave the country."
I will be more scared if we put another republican in the White House..GWB is like a rock..only dumber
If kerry had any brains and knew how to campaign Bush would not have won in 2004. He needs to cool it and shut up.
Someone please tell me why Hillary did not run in 2004? Was it because she was not electable?
I can't see what the Clintons did for blacks either so yes it would be good to have someone explain what they did.Iknow a bit of dirty work did while in the White House.A nd it 's funny how Hill @Bill have forgotten all the crooks they had as company.Norman Hsu the 850,000 donor.Then they had friends like Jorge Cabrera cocaine smuggler,Ng Lap Seng,bordello owner not forgetting the host of their friends that went to jail.Like Jim and Susan Dougal so I don't think they should say to much about Obama.If Hillary handles negotiations with other countries leaders the way she handles herself on the debates I'm sure we will be at war just as sure as she was ready to go war with BUSH against Iraq and Iran.At least Obama has the sense to think and to listen and reason what is the right thing to do.Not being persuaded by someone saying this is what we need to do, instead of saying lets see what are the other options first.
I was going to vote and support Hillary as an independent but after watching this from the NATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN Im changing my mind and voting for Borak Please watch the youtube video of Lorna Brett Howard who was a supporter of Hillary and becuse of this Hillary received lots of women votes...After Hillary starting lying about Obama Lorna changed her position...Hillary just hurt herself with the WOMEN VOTE!!! We democrat women need to show Hillary that Dis honesty is plain wrong. What a mess...Please go to youtube and watch the video. When you go to the web page just enter Lorna Brett Howard and it should come up.......This is a crucial issue to all women. Check out these videos featuring Lorna Brett Howard, the former President of Chicago NOW (National Organization of Women).In the first video, Lorna describes why she went from being a Clinton supporter to a strong Obama supporter, in the wake of Clinton's misleading attacks on Obama's record on choice...In the second video, Lorna describes how Senator Obama was a critical advocate in the fight to preserve choice in South Dakota...For more on Obama's strong…
re "Concerned's" remark: it's so sad to see how biased CNN is against the Clintons...maybe because CNN are republicans and want Obama to win the nomination so the republicans can have their choice of president. GO HILLARY!
Flip-Flop Kerry has no backbone!
John Kerry should be quiet. He is a loser. He made an unsuccessful bid for president.
-Be quiet, a loser
sKerry calling b.j. billy a liar. How funny is that?
They will say anything to get elected. She brought up Rezko and there her and bill took a photo with the man. Shes a liar, Bill's a liar Chelsea is ugly. If she is the nominee then I will sit it out and really make em pay.
Obama 08
How do you abuse the "truth" ??? At least it was the truth ! Is that like cramming the truth down someones throat or what ???
What about the last debate where Obama said he opposed the Iraq war all along and then later, in the same debate, stated ..."I, like Hillary, voted for the Iraq war and later had second thoughts..." How is it that no one has caught that ?? Are some of you so blinded by his fluff that you are not listening to his words?
He sounds just like any other politician...razzle dazzle 'em.
What about the fact that he voted against a cap on the credit card interest rates !!!
Did you hear his reason ??? He didn't like the way it was worded......so he votes in FAVOR of the credit card companies...???? What kind of crap is that?
I am a Vietnam vet and I hate Kerry and in my book he is the biggest loser...go off with your second wifes millions and leave us alone you flip flopper!!!! Gosh he is such a big jerk!!
Kerry! Who is this guy? The forever loser. Who is he endorsed will lose, too!!!
He'd better shut up!!!
I voted for John Kerry because the only other choice was W. He didn't and does not seem to know what he is talking about and he is still just pandering to what he thinks is the most popular thing right now: Obama. I would be scared if he had endorsed Hillary.
The chickens are coming home to roost with the Clintons...even their own party are turning against them...I truly believe Hillary is not going to make it in the long run of this campaign....
When was truth ever a necessity with this (Clinton) pathological liar?
.........and who else would be an authority on abusing the truth but old "Swiftboat Kerry" . The man who threw his madals away, then mysteriously had them years later adorning his office walls. The man who said “I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.” Yes folks, he knows abusing the truth when he sees it ! But hey, he sometimes forgets, like the time he was on covert operations in Cambodia on christmas eve 1968, he said under Pres. Nixons orders. Unfortunately Nixon wasn't the President in 1968. Abusing the truth? This guy is a friggin' master of that folks.
Kerry if just hopeful of becoming Obama's running mate, if he wins the primary. I voted for Kerry in the last election, but he is getting on my nerves this time.
Kerry is a liar. Takes on to know one. Go away, Kerry. Once a fraud, always a fraud. The Swiftboaters who served along side you know the truth. The MIAs & POWs wives know the truth! (Remember that MIA's wife you tried to get a date with after you "declared all the MIAs & POWS dead" when you were a jr. Senator?) You're a pig! YOU ARE A FRAUD. YOU ARE A LEACH. GO AWAY. Strong letter to follow...
I have been voting democratic since 1968. If Hillary Clinton becomes the candidate for the Democratic Party in the November elections, I will sit on my hands or vote for the Republican candidate.
A socialist calling a communist a liar, big deal. We know for a fact that they are both liars.
I would like to ask John Kerry why didn't he fight back during his own campaign with the swift boat ads? Why?
Personally I think that they both look like mannequins. Kerry has alot of nerve criticizing Clinton when he himself acted like a wimp when he let Bush get his way about being the president. He disqusts me.
WOW you Billary people are REALLY Bothered by this aren't you! Your comments range from Childish tantrum to downright BITTER.
Tellus the REAL reason why this bothers you so much.
oh, i'm at the bottom of the list
John Kerry?!
The guy who couldn't beat George "Lie, lie lie, invade, scare the electorate, screw-up the economy" W. Bush?"
Good luck with that, Senator.
Kerry is such a joke – an unfunny, sad joke.
Why can't kerry say that bill clinton is a liar, always was, always has been and always will be. And, he's the one going to restore America's image? Sure, send a LIAR out there. World leaders just love a liar...sheeeeesh...give me a break!
Kerry please step out of the picture. You had your chance and "BLEW IT" so just sit down, watch from the sidelines and vote. Please I ask the media to keep to consider the voters. As far as I'm concern Kerry is out of the picture and as far as VP are you kidding me?
Well, let'ssee. Who likes McCain? The New York Times. Time and Newsweek magazines. John Kerry. Bull Clinton. Need any more reason not to vote for the man if you are a Conservative? Moderate that comment liberal!
Kerry is a looser, Oboma is a dreamer with no proven ability to get the job done, Hillary is power hungry and will say what ever is popular at the polls, Edwards is just trying to hang on becouse he is only a shadow of his two democratic nominations. The whole democratic party has turned it's attention further and further to weakening our national security, economy and social structure.
All this vitriol makes me even more convinced that the best choice is John Edwards.
All of you on this blog hating John Kerry....because you know he's right. Some
people just can't take the truth.
I hope Obama has enough sense not to have Kerry as V.P. As George T pointed out, Kerry has a lot of skeletons in his closet which could hurt the Obama campaign. One of which is his illegitmate African -American son. Kerry said in an interview with South carolina affliate that he is for the AA advancement, yet he (Kerry )won't acknowledge his AA son nor help him pay for his college education. ?? Kerry is a joke!
Now to Clinton, he is acting like he is insane. The way he is carrying on....If Hillary HAD a chance..it's gone now. That's okay, because Barrack will get the nomination and face of with either Mccain or Romney...and Barrack will win.
So Obama keep this in mind--winning will be the best revenge against the Clintons. Stay the course and please don't choose Kerry as VP!!!!
II don’t care who Clinton has slept with, if his wife doesn’t care, why should anybody else? ( you know America you got let go of your bourgeoisie mentality)
I do care whoever that he left a country, which was sliding down hill when got into power, in pretty good shape when he left
If his wife can do 75 % of the job he did, we would be so lucky to elect her
but somehow it appears people have very short memories, as they are so very critical of the Clinton's.
Now even more estrange is that I don’t see anybody asking for Bush's blood after he put us in this horrible place we are in right now
People wanted to impeach Bill when he lied about sleeping w/ another women( and I dare any man to say he would not lie about that either), but I don’t see anybody doing the same to a president that lied to us and got thousands of American's ( and Iraqis) killed, so I guess Americans are more concerned with other people's sexual lives then with murderers, because that's what you are when you get people killed by lying .....
as for Kerry, he should shut up, he couldn't manage to get us rid of Bush, so don’t get in the way, because I tell you as much as Americans have a really messed up relationship w/ sexuality, it is even worse regarding race, and it come from both sides ( blacks and whites) so if Obama gets picked, HE WILL NOT BE ELECTED....
It is sad, but it is the true, people forget that most of people voting in elections are not liberals in big cities
Mind you it will be hard enough to push Hillary through, and the only reason she will make it through, is her so reviled husband
As a lot of people miss the lives they had 8 years ago and will vote for her on the weight of the Clinton name, in the hopes she/he will get a hold of this mess and clear it up.
And yes it smacks as unconstitutional, but so is lying to a entire country so your cronies could get billions in public monies, which is what Bush did, and I don’t see anybody screaming on the news about it, yes CNN that includes you too….
Having said that, too bad this contest is being treated and run as if only Clinton/Obama were present, as John Edwards, would have a lot more appeal realistically speaking, and he got his stuff together ( I would have voted for him, and I am a colored women), but alas it is not to be either( Sorry ED, this is a country obsessed with Brittany Spears, not many grown ups here)
So yes of all evils, the lesser is still the Clintons, so Shut up Kerry, and go home to Teresa ( too bad she didn’t get to be a first lady, Hillary got nothing on her)
J in San Francisco
John Kerry needs to zip his LIPS. He ran the worse campaign ever. He will be a jinx to Barack Obama. Wouldn't want him on my team. Who needs help to lose?
Whether it's Barack or Hillary...the DEMS will turn out in record numbers on Election Day! The media and GOP will not dictate or steal this election!!!!
Bill Clinton continues to be a disgrace to the presidency even after he leaves the whitehouse. Anybody remember George Bush conduct himself other than in a dignified manner even as his son withstood attack from both democrats and republicans this past few years? An ex-president that would seek to divide the country by injecting race into the elections just to give his wife an advantage is a disgrace? Shame on Bill Clinton!
What? Bill Clinton not telling the truth? I'm shocked.
I agree with BIggdawg – In what way does Bill Clinton abuse the truth? The Obama camp cannot even spell out the specifics! Even more strange – the reporters never ask! They just go along with bashing Clinton!
Hillary reminds me, and many, many other men, of our ex-wives. Shrill, overbearing, narcissistic, ruthless, cackling, .... In the end, we're going to put that memory in our heads, march to the ballot box, and do to Hillary what many of us didn't do to our ex's for years before they left us, or vice versa. This message endorsed by White Males for Barack Obama.
John Kerry's got guts and some dislike for the Clinton's. If Bill had fought for him maybe he would have one in 2004. Bill did not support Gore or Kerry because that would have made it more difficult for Hillary. George Bush was elected in 2000 becuase the country was sick of the Clintons. Bill's bringing it all back! I thought Obama's crack about Bill Clinton's dancing ability in order to be a "brother" was insulting and racist. Imagine the reaction if Tom DeLay had said that...
MR FIIP FLOP.... SHOULD JUST CRAWL BACK IN TO HIS CASKET.
I wonder if President Clinton told the truth when he was campaigning for Kerry in 2004. How soon one forgets. KERRY WAS UNPOPULAR WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND STILL IS> HE IS UPSET BECAUSE HE IS NOT POPULAR LIKE BILL CLINTON.
As for South Carolina suggesting wheater or not Obama is for real. Hardly the vote in South Carolina is all about race thanks to Jim Clyburn.
SENATOR HILLCRY CLINTON FOR UNITED STATES PRESIDENT, 2008
John Kerry is bad news as far as I am concerned.
He had the best opportunity to beat Bush in 2004 but he fluncked it. Bush won in 2004 due to lack of competition.
This was a man for whom Clinton dragged himself from his sickbed to campaign for ( against doctor's advise)- during his surgery.
In fact the republicans had to say ' The democrats are so deperate to campaign that they dragged a former president from his sick bed to campaign'
This was a man Hillary Clinton defended for his flip flopping by saying ' John Kerry changes his opinion to fit the facts but Bush changes the facts to fit his opinion'.
Now he is now campaigning for Obama and interfering with what is a family issue. He should take care of his own political career.
I think he will end up losing face like Gore did when he endorsed Dean
Up Hillary '08
Kerry's worried now because he came out for Obama and Obama may not prevail.
You'll see how he changes his story depending upon how big Obama's win is in South Carolina.
Actually, I believe that Obama has more to lose in SC than Clinton. He not only has to win, but he has to win big. If he doesn't and Clinton can claim that she still has at least a small influence in the black community, then Obama loses no matter how many delegates he gets.
It's a shame, but this is the truth. Just as throughout history, members of minority groups have to prove themselves by doing BETTER than the majority just to claim being average.
I find it strange that a former US President would interject the way he has during this campaign. I voted for him the fist time, and feel the "Clinton Fatigue" that many Americans feel. I also find it strange that the folks who talk about the politics of personal destruction, have been loose with the facts when it comes to Mr. Obama. I think if this type of mudslinging form both camps continues, the Democrats are going to be doing a lot of back-tracking to unify the party for the November election.
Kerry has no royalty and he is a sore loser, I used like him but now I am happy he did not win in last election...
I supported Kerry in 2004, but his recent childish behavior makes me wonder why. He should just keep his chauvinistic mouth shut.
I love how everyone is attacking Kerry's past. How he couldn't stand up to the swift boating and how he lost the election in 2004.
Can we also go back to Bill Clinton's past? He lied under oath and got impeached. He was the worst role model by having a illicit sexual relationship while he was still a president......the list goes on.
But lets face it. It's not about the past. Its about our future. The reason why our country is in this mess today is because it has been politics as usual in Washington. We split the country along party lines and nothing gets done. We need a different approach. Hillary Clinton is a great senator. But she has a tendency to split people along party lines. And the last thing we need is the kind of partisan politics that Bush has been playing for the last 8 years. We need to bring the republicans, independents and democrats together. And Hillary just cant do that. Obama CAN.
I've always been apathetic towards politics because I feel that nothing gets done when we play along party lines. We need to forget about our parties for a second and choose the best candidate that will bring our country together. And I think that is Obama.
What is wrong here
I think a lady should be in a dress ,not pant's all the time
I just like that Bill Clinton is defending his wife. That is a good thing. Considering Bill was not always faithful to her. I like that Bill is standing with his wife aggressively.
How does Kerry know truth? He is an idiot.
This stimulus package is not going to work. I have questions such as where is the money (150 Billion ) coming from? Is it being borrowed from the US Federal Reserve which is a private corporation owned by 12 Federal Reserve Banks? Will that amount be added to the Federal debt? Has the federal government created the money at no cost to the taxpayers as former President Franklyn D. Roosevelt did every year of his 12 years in office. He created 11.2% of GDP for 12 consecutive years and spent it into circulation which was a tremendous help to bring the great depression to an end. No president before or after FDR created so much money to the benefit of the economy. That is the kind of stimulus package we need today to repair our decaying infrastructure. Government created money is permanent and Bank created money is ephemeral and only stays in circulation as long as someone is paying on it. Our economy is 95% BCM (Bank Created Money) and I would say lees than 5% GCM (Government Created Money).
The US Constitution gives Congress the Power to create money and establish the value thereof. Look it up
Who the hell cares what John Kerry thinks or who he endorses? The man is a loser.
South Carolina African American voters! Please think all the good things that the Clintons have done for your community over the years. Can you name anything that Obama has done for you. Don't believe him. He is all talk nothing inside. He is selling snake oil by uttering the words of CHANGE and HOPE. Talk alone can't bring about the change. He is so weak, when it comes to judgment and decision-making. Don't waste your vote by siding with him.
We had a Bush, then a Clinton, then another Bush. We do not need a Clinton again, this time around.
OBAMA NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AFTER::.......
I am glad i am not voting for another Skull & Bones Member
***************************************
I don’t think Clintons ever said anything- CNN did alter the story. They are almost campaign against her.
You are listening to the altered story from media.
************************************
Listen to actual conversation. Why Kerry and CNN has endorse truth when its out there
Hillary 08
Mr. Kerry please go back to sleep you were in . You couldn't defend yourself from swiftboating and you make fun of Iraq war . BTW, VP place not open for you if that's what you are trying for. Bill did serve his nation well not like you.
Hey Kerry, This just proves I was right when I thought the ticket was backwards in 2004.
Oughta be Edwards this time also. Smartest and best one out there.. Again.
John Kerry is a traitor to those who backed him in 04, he bites the hand that feeds him, I have no trust in him.
Victor Charles
Cranston, RI
Bill Clinton – presidential elections won = 2
John Kerry – presidential elections won = 0
I'll side with the 2x winner over the loser. Thanks.
Go Hllary! Shut up Kerry! Stop winning Obama. And another thing, I am sick of CNN rooting for Obama.
To KERRY:
CLINTON WOULD HAVE HELPED YOU TO BE THE PRESIDENT IF HE DIDN^T GET HEART TROUBLE....
Since when have politicians stopped twisting the truth and then all of a sudden the only one doing it is Bill Clinton. And if he stops doing it from then on we will hear nothing but the truth from the others and especially from the Obama camp.And as for the Republicans as we all know since they are the only true believers in God and Country everything they say is nothing but the truth.
ANYBODY NOTICE HOW NASTY IT HAS TURNED SINCE BILLARY LOST IOWA?
SCERW THE PARTY, RIGHT CLINTONS?
Where are my well thought out responses??? Darn you CNN, anytime I write the facts that make HILLARY shine, and OBAMA faulter, you don't show my entry. What a joke, you only want silly comments that repeat your crap.
Kerry is the kiss of death to pretty much anyone who receives it. Too bad Obama was the one to get it this time.
Maybe Kerry's still mad about losing in 2004 and he's bucking for VP if Obama gets the nomination.
Just a thought.
Go Hillary 08
tonights the last time I watch cnn. I'm sick of them trying to prove their Not racist by backing Obama. As usual they've gone overboard. For years we've heard from Bush, if your not with me, then your unpatriotic. I can see it coming. If your not with me, then your a racist. Enough is enough. Lets have some fairness here.
By Bill getting all the publicity, he's taking the heat and spotlight off Hillary. She needs to avoid answering as many questions as possible because each time she opens her mouth, she puts both feet in it.
If Obama does not receive the nomination, I will vote for any Republican before I vote for Hillary. But before that happens, we should write in Obama on election day. He is the true agent of change.
When will the public wake up and realize the truth about the Clintons? When the media descides to report it!
Sounds like Democrats are finally admitting what the rest of the country has known for years – that the Clinton's will say and do anything to keep their grip on power. Kerry's comments are a good sign for the Democratic party... admitting you have a problem is the first step on the road to recovery.
Clinton is second only to John Kerry as the nations most prolific abuser of truth.
Truth-
Why is CNN not reporting that Obama changed his vote 6 times because, get this, he didn't mean to vote that way or accidently pushed the wrong button. I don't want someone in charge of our little red buttons (weapons) who might accidently or didn't mean to set them off. Do any of you?
But no,that's not getting reported on. No one was reporting on Rezko until Clinton brought him up at the Debate. If he has nothing to hide talk about it. 5 hours my foot.
No one reported on his voting record of voting "Present" 130 times. His explanations just blew me away, as did his response to the cap freeze on the credit card interest. It was to high, so vote against the 30% cap and let them charge a higher interest. My 17 year old caught the craziness of that answer before Edwards called him on it.
He agrued he'd never endorsed single-payer healthcare. When in fact he did.
He's been back and forth on so many issues, He probably doesn't know what he opposed or doesn't.
I'm glad some they have brought factcheck, back.
Kerrry has no sense of gratitude.
Kerry did not defend himself against the attack from the Republicans.
Clinton by defending herself is showing that she is not going to be another Kerry in Novemebr.
And, once again, Sharon: The CLINTOONS are CROOKS, CROOKS and more CROOKS!!!!! How can any of you CLINTOON supporters even utter a word of support for such TRASH!!!! You CLINTOON supporters and your candidate Shrillary and the great SLICKSTER (aka the Hil Billy) are so pathetic, pathetic, pathetic……get the picture?? You people have SCREWED up MINDS!!! But, no wonder, you support Shrillary and the Hill Billy…..no WONDER!!!!
Anyone who questions how Clinton has abused the truth obviously has their head in the sand – or somewhere else! If they are breathing the Clinton's are lying. It's a fact of life.
Look who's calling the kettle black. The self addressed phoney war hero. I spent over 30 months in the South Pacific aboard two ships, three invasiaon and only got three little stars on my Asiatic combat ribbon. I didn't get to come home in three months of combat either like Kerry the self made cry baby. He should keep his cry baby mouth shut.
Ben in Columbus...explain to me exactly what is is the Clinton's have ever done for Black people.
They tell you they care but their only objective is to keep blacks down and dependent on the government.
Please explain with some examples. I'll be waiting.....
Thanks
It's simple folks...
I have never voted for anyone other than a democrat.
If hillary were to win the nomination, I will.
If that happens, I will vote for a repub or an independent, and that's the case with many others.
We (our nation) are better than those who blind sheep who embrace dynasties.
If we are no better, America is a disgrace and deserves what happens.
Keep in mind... a nation with hillary at the helm will NEVER have more than 45% of its populace behind the president – even in times of stress. w was better than that. hillary will never have that.
We've got to be better than this. I'm not alone in this view. In fact, I'm in the majority. If you vote hillary, be afraid.
As is the case with one lie, the second comes easy and in the case of those who abuse their power soon they turn on each other.
GO HILLARY AND BILL CLINTON! BOOOO KERRY!
Have lost all respect for both Bill and Hillary because of their behavior. They are destroying a chance for the Democrats to win the White House. If she is the nominee, I will not be voting Democratic for the first time in many years.
hurry CNN!!! Why does moderation of my comments take so long????????
STOP HILLARY! (And Bill)
Obama and all his fellow Clinton-haters have learned their lessons well from Karl Rove. They failed when they tried to smear Clinton in 1998 and now they are trying again smear Clinton in 2008.
The American people can see right through the smear tactics of Karl Rove and Obama.
GO HILLARY!!!! GO BILL!!!!
Although Hillary is the one suppositly running for President, her husband is the one campaigning. This man sold technology to other countries that poses a serious threat to this Country.
Whats wrong with people this is not a game. This is serious. The media makes mockery of this whole campaign.
Bill Clinton should not only be allowed back in the White House, he has no right to praticipate in our governing process. HE IS A SERIOUS THREAT TO THIS COUNTRY ! ! !
This man was impeached! How in the name of common sence is this man allowed to determine who will be the most important leader in the world! ! !?
WAKE UP PEOPLE THIS IS A SERIOUS SITUATION.
Well I hope this stream of TGIF BS is not a true indication of the Democratic party.
Because those Republican are going to beat us from within.
Lets show them what we are made of and unite to win.
hey stan from pitts pa this is not about bill's sex life. its about the issuse do your homework. hillary 08 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Media manipulation at its finest!!! They point out how a big chunk of Black voters are for Obama and how little the number of Whites are voting for him AND THEN blame the Clintons for playing the RACE CARD!!! I can't even point out what it is that the Clintons are doing that is so out of the ordinary... Don't fight Obama's fight for him...he is a grown man, fully capable of defending himself...Thank you very much!! Don't insult the intelligence of the Black electorate!!!
Kerry might be thinking that only way to go to the White House is to as a VP with Obama.
Some dreamer.
It is amazing how all the Hillary people here have the worst grammar, not to mention spelling. This is the same group of people who spends hard earned money buying lotto tickets. There is a reason most people with an education vote for Obama (this is a fact/ check the exit polls). People who have an education tend to think more. Look who voted for Hillary in New Hampshire, mostly uneducated women. I feel sorry for them.
I think Bill is hurting her and hurting the Democratic Party... I will not vote for her even if it means voting independent or even republican... Look at this statement Bill Clinton just made, “The President is not called the 'Chief Executive Officer of America' for nothing. You don’t run the bureaucracy but you are responsible for seeing that your ideas turn into positive changes in other people’s lives.” When Hillary criticized Obama for saying "I don't think there is anybody in this race who can inspire the American people better than I can. And I don't think there is anybody in this race who can bridge differences ... better than I can. But I'm not an operating officer. Some in this debate around experience seem to think the job of the president is to go in and run some bureaucracy. Well, that's not my job. My job is to set a vision of 'here's where the bureaucracy needs to go.’” She attacked Obama at the Nevada debate about it. She said "I think you have to be able to manage and run the bureaucracy." "I think it’s important that we have a president who understands that you have to run the government,” Who understands them???
Since the CLINTOONS like Rezko so much, maybe they'll turn that double-wide trailer park that they plan to move into after the election into a SLUMLORD ZONE!!!! wwwaaaaaaahhaaaaaahaaaaaaa!!
Francois is swiftboating ex President Clinton! That is, telling it like it is. Swiftboating. To tell the truth. Francois, release your military record as promised.
Go Kerry!! It takes a lot of courage to go against the Clintons! Besides he received more votes than Bill Clinton ever did during his election!
In the end, Bill is just making Hillary and her campaign look really bad.
OBAMA 2008!!
Save your strengh for your everyday job .Don't fight for Obama or Clinton .Final day will come very soon : A white amarican man is president
Clintons are shameless, faceless and cold blooded career politicians. They are excellent in "looking you in the eye, lie and lie". John Edwards is trying his best to follow in their footsteps. Edwards is working on getting the vice-presidency or some strong position in the cabinet. He knows he cannot be reelected as a senator again. It is ironic that Karl Rove tactics of lies and deception are totally exercised by Democrats. You think that by going for Democrat you may releive the country from Bush-Cheney-Rove trio. This is just an illusion. The forces behind the same trio switched sides to Democrats now. Perhaps we have to do the unexpected and put a Republican president into the White House again, until political independent movement becomes a reality. Otherwise, the vicious cycle of last 40 years will continue. America is waking up and getting more involved in politics. I have big hopes for the future unless people are again pushed to idiocracy by fastfood, TV shows and greed.
Hey CNN (CLINTOON News Network)......why does it take so long to do this: 'Your comment is awaiting moderation'. Is it because we are trying to simply expose the CLINTOONS lies, deceit, crookedness, etc.? Are you trying to protect Shrillary and her Slickster husband for some reason? Is this truly the CLINTOON News Network?
What I'm really scared of is JOHN KERRY'S comment from January 10 when he said, "Obama isn't just going to break the mold......Together, WE are going to shatter it into a million pieces!" I hope he's not backing Obama in hopes that he can jump on the ticket as a Vice President...........that comment alone is making me have reservations on voting for Obama......... I want a leader that is quick on their feet when making decisions, someone who values everyone's opinions, will not get befuddled when challenged, will know when talking won't work anymore, and someone who cares about this country........I don't like it when race and gender is the focal point of any news article or poll.....And as a white women I am highly offended that they, the media, think African American women will have a hard decision on who to vote for.....I hate to tell you but these women are very intelligent and can make decisions.....I myself am going to vote for the candidate that I believe can do the best and that will definietly not be based on race or gender and I think most people will vote the same way...........................................
CANDIDATES – QUIT TAKING POT SHOTS AND GET DOWN TO THE ISSUES AT HAND- WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR THIS COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Clinton haters, CNN the more you all try to pull Hillary down the harder she's gonna kick your behinds. If Michelle can campaign for her husband, Bill has every right to do the same. All the so called political analysts especially the females whose hatred for Hillary is so blatant should just spare us their expertise. Just facts, stop injecting your bias into this campaign.
Obviously, you havent learnt any lesson from New Hampshire!!!
As Americans we should see through the mess coming from both sides. As an African American I say we should not support People who just wanna give us a check each month. We need to learn to fish instead of begging. We are not the only community who have had a bad experience in our great nation. The Irish, Eastern Europeans, South Americans, The Chinese have all had a rough and tough time here. They didn't make it out by killing each other, refusing to go to school, refusing to get jobs and refusing to stop harming their own communities through painful ways. The greatest enemy of the black man in America is the black man. Bitter FACT. Obama represents a change he has values and experience desperately needed in our communities. And Whites can learn a lot from a black president lets all move on together as one great and mighty nation and let the healing process finally begin. This is a great country and together we can all make it even greater. Peace and Love to all my brothers and sister white, black, yellow and brown
SORRY JOHN KERRY, TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE.
Looks like Obama is leading in Georgia and Illinois polls...All other (20) states come super tues Clinton is ahead most double digits..mmmmmm I bet my money on Clinton...
see if this post gets posted, since cnn favors Obama
It looks to me as if the media is endorsing Obama. They seem to be casting him in a good light all the time, and baiting Hillary Clinton. Of course she is going to come out fighting. I wouldn't expect anything less. I think Barack Obama is a good guy. But I don't think he has the experience in government or diplomacy to lead this country. He gives very eloquent speeches, and is charismatic. I can't see anything else to recommend him for the job. In the very first Democratic debate, Joe Biden made the statement that the next President will have zero room for error. I think he was right. This country is in trouble because of the policies of the Bush Administration. Now is not the time for on the job training. Experience and connections DO matter. That's why I'm voting for Hillary Clinton.
People should not resort to personal attacks here.
Arguments don't change the facts. Facts are constant
Obama has shown himself to contradict what he claims he is.
About younger educated people going for Obama. The explanation is simple: He is young and very vocal and these xteristics appeal to young and educated people. Whether he is honest , sincere or competent is another matter entirely.
Now that Bill has called a truce and went silent, no one is accusing Obama for still continuing the attacks.
Up Hillary '08
What? Is that KERRY running off at the mouth AGAIN?!?!
Why doesn't that loser go crawl back under his rock that he's been under since his drubbing in the 04 general election.
This idiot couldn't beat Bush even after everyone knew he had lied about WMD. No one outside of his home state cares who he's endorsing or what he thinks about anything.
Richard-When are you and the rest of the HRC crowd going to stop with your hate-mongering. There is NO comparison between Rove and Obama- but after the last two weeks, there seems to be MANY likenesses between Kommandant Karl and the Klinton Kampaign!
We may have lost to the republicans-AGAIN- because of stuff like this!
You beltway boys/girls, and the Machine politics has SEVERELY split this party!
You have no one to blame but yourselves!
You sound more like republicans than many of them do! SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON BILL!
Obama 08!
What exactly is an endorsement by John Kerry worth? Prior to the 2004 election (which he lost) and in all the time after, was he ever talked about or influential? Why should I care about his opinion?
As for Obahma, he seems like a good politician, and will undoubtedly make a good President... one day... after he has had some more experience. I don't "hope" for change, I believe in a plan and the experience to see it through. That being said, I for one am enthralled to see the "Clinton machine" in practice. What a dynamic duo! I hope the win it all!
Is John Kerry swiftboating the impeached former president who was videotaped lying under oath?
John Kerry, stay out of it. You blew it in 2004 and again in 2007.
Guys, don't you see how the Clinton's have dealt the race card to derail Obama?
92% of those who voted for Obama in Iowa were white.
What's wrong with at least 92% of African Americans in S.C voting for Obama too?
They have set the stage so that if he wins in SC on Saturday, they would insinuate its because he is a 'black' person.
The Clintons have truly set us back 30 years.
The Clintons have succeeded in dividing us all and dragging us into the gutter with them.
It's working for them though, because most of the electorate is not particularly smart.
It is not a coincidence that Clinton supporters are not particularly educated – they are the ones that can only comprehend a one-sentence sound bite (the message is put in their minds). Bush did it and succeeded, why not the Clintons?.
Clinton signed off our inheritance to NAFTA
Bush sealed the deal with the war in Iraq.
Between these two families, we no longer have True Democracy.
Yet, some people still want them at the White House? At OUR White house?.
We are in bad trouble.
I hate kerry he messed the democrats over
If Hillary were president and Bill got sick. Would Hillary be able to make a decision?
She does not seem to in charge, but Bill is. Hillary is is totally dependent on Bill's
Not sure she would make a good president if she cannot do her own talking.
I am apalled at Mr Kerry, trying to swift boat the clintons!!! Truth is a relative thing , and everyone has a right to his or her own version of it, Kerry talking about twisting truth is like the pot calling the kettle black,
The swift boat veterans know well how Mr Kerry already adjusts the facts to his own liking
Why blasting kerry for standing up for the truth at least hes not a sell out , johnson of Black Endangered Thief (BET) . the very REV AL who claim hes black but act like a dog who only play where there's food for him.they all play towards the clinton and still say blacks are minority. AMERICA wake up against all this fake black african leaders.
The real issue is what we all should be talking about how to get out of the many problems BUSHED will be leaving us all with.
Don't agree with Kerry too often, but he is right on here. Gutless Kennedy does it behind closed doors, at least this guy shows some guts.
It's not the Republicans fault, no vast right-wing conspiracy or a media driven story sheep, this is FELLOW DEMOCRATS who are calling your King and "Queen" out day after day after............................
Even as a Conservative I applaud them, much like Obama, they are speaking the truth.
I'm a Democrat through and through but, if Hillary gets the nomination I will not vote in the general election. The tactics she is using are no better then what Bush used to get into the White House, and look where we are at folks. When some one will do or say anything to win something then something is really wrong.
I tell you just go out and look at her action during the campaign. In the beginning when every media outlet had her as a shoe in for the nomination, she could care less about using Bill or other dirty tactics. But, wow look at her now, she has used tears, Bill and lies to tarnish a threat!! Therefore I ask you, what you think they will do if they get back in the White House? I mean the 90's they were good but, it's time to move on and not look behind. To win the White House is really just another notch on the Billary belt of political achivement!!! Therefore I say wake up people vote for anyone but her!!!
I to was a fierce Clinton supporter, but the comments, the back and forth from the Clinton camp has really turned me off to the Clinton's, If they will do and say anything to get into office, there will be no telling what she's going to do once she gets in office. Thank god Barack will be there instead
I think Obama and his supporters will grasp just anything surrouding them and claim it is good and relevant:
- John Kerry's words.
- Republican ideas.
- Couple-year experience of living in a foreign country at the age of 10.
- Drug use.
The only reason anyone voted you was because John Edwards was on your ticket...shut up, John...nobody cares, nobody's listening anymore.
Hilliary is a fake and this is simply chickens coming home to roost. Why is she a NY Senator any way- she was born in Illinois and lived most of her adult life in Arkansas and D.C.
Oh dear Obama has another member of his slime patrol...too bad Kerry did not come forward and fight for the American People, when rove and bush were going after him. And too bad he didn't fight for the American People and requested a recount in Ohio...but then he has Obama to hide behind and shake his old jelly balls pretending to be somebody.
To Thinker, Newport Beach, CA: Hmmm. . .Newport Beach. . . Orange County, the very epicenter of conservatism. Obviously you are a Republican so why are you wasting your time here? Why are you not somewhere else, posting messages about your own party and its candidates?
Your demeaning, elitist comments are without merit. Don't waste your phony sympathy on the women of New Hampshire. You show enormous arrogance in labeling them as "uneducated". And FYI, I am an educated woman with a Doctorate in Education and 30 years experience in teaching and school administration. My daughters are well educated also: one a clinical psychologist, the other a school administrator. Believe it or not, we are able to read, think, and analyze the issues and qualities of the major Democratic candidates. Because we've paid attention and done our homework, we are firm supporters of Hillary Clinton.
Kerry is a joke , just like all the dems.The only way they win is to take from hard working people and give it the do nothings of the country.
STOP this all, Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee!!!
Thinker, Newport beach, CA.
poor, uneducated people tend to support Clintons because they believe the Clintons can bring them changes that are so real and related to their life. They did once taste the changes and addicted to them.
those so-called well educated Obama's supporters only like the game of politics to be played differently, more excitingly. That is the only change that they need.
You said Obama supporters know how to think or think better, then think about it: who are really in need, and who is needed by those in need.
So...Bill Clinton's campaign tactics were ok when he was campaigning on YOUR behalf, but now that he is campaigning for someone you don't like, he's the devil? I have voted for democrats in every election for the past 20 years. Yes, John Kerry, I even voted for you against my better judgement. But know this: YOU ARE NO BILL CLINTON! He's the man and you are nothing more than a wannabe.
Waffles anyone?
I can't figure out why women are for Hiliary. She made a great investment while at Rose Law Firm in a very short time. The lost papers were found much later on her end table. She worked with much success at distroying any women that had an affair with her her playboy Bill .
I think Kerry found the only reason that Bill got into power was his looks and being a great speaker. The worst thing anyone did was vote for Ross P. so Pretty Bill was able to kiss up to young voters. Thanks Mr. Kerry for waking up to the way the Clinton's work/ Mr. & Mrs. President again. Justine
I waste my money and vote supporting John Kerry -2004. I know why he is supporting Obama he know America is not ready for Black president so he will have another chance 2012.Dream on John.
I expect this from a guy who didn't have the sack to challenge the 2004 election... How easily we forget who had our back... I guess you only liked the Clinton's when you needed their support, without it your run for President would have fallen on it A–!! I guess you are a what have you done for me lately kind of guy..... I am sorry I voted for you.. I had no idea what kind of loyalty you have for past friends... Enjoy your wife's money... You will need it in obscurity...... Thank you for your time.
Kerry is like the pot calling the kettle black, he's a liar, Clinton's a liar, Hillary's a liar, Edwards is a liar, Obama's a liar, this entire Democratic parade of charlatans
is a joke and nightmare foisted on the gullible American people.
I once again admire Senator Kerry for speaking truth to power. He did this in his 2004 campaign and when he stands up for what is right and just, it makes me sad all over again that this great leader is not our president right now.
Mr. Clinton has been over the top and IMO it is more about maintaining power than it is about really supporting his wife. The Clinton's anything for a donation and anything for a vote. I am tired of their brand of politics.
Kerry is one Democrat that can speak the truth.
These silent Dems in front of a reckless Bill remind me of the Republicans.
The two parties are becoming alike.
Be Independent!
When I look at the candidates, one of the most important traits I look for is integrity. Having integrity doesn't mean a candidate can't change his mind. In fact a person with real integrity will admit if he is wrong and change. Mitt Romney has done this. He has the highest integrity of all the candidates. Sadly, the leading candidate from the other party has lost her integrity time and time again and continues to do so–has done so for at least the last 16 years. Some of the other candidates have very strong points, but I have to say the Mitt Romney is the one real leader with the integrity AND the leadership skills AND the experience and know-how to get this country changed around.
Shut up Kerry!
Keeping talk, Clintons.
The World Loves Bill Clinton. Do you think that we are smart by trashing him? It will just show the world how stupid we still are by trashing him. If Barack has to whine and get others (MSNBC and CNN) to support that whining, Barack may win by getting a guilt presidency will show the world how weak America is. CNN and MSNBC are fighting to show how much they are liberal and that the Clinton's are the devil. Grow up, we are in a global ecomony. Do we really want to act like we don't care about the world? Apparently Obamamaniacs think that thier "non experiece" will be any better than France's new guy.
Spare me the whining that Obama's campaign has been doing.
CNN, your election coverage borders on the ludicrous. Although you looked good on the Daily show.
So let me see if I get this right: Bill Clinton's a liar when Democrats don't agree with him, but honest when they do?
And of all people, John Kerry accuses someone of distorting the truth for electoral gain?
Best way for the Republicans to win in the modern era: hand the microphone to a Democrat!
Has CNN prohibited Clinton backers Carville and Begalia from appearing on CNN as political analysts because of complaints and pressure from the Obama camp????
Can you say, "VP material"?
Media is acting like money hungry meniac. They created Obama bigger then he his so they can make money .Now they love Mitt because he is the only one has money.
Also leftist element of Democratic party need to learn from past.
Mondel,Dukakis,Kerry. and now Obama.
Can you say, "I accept the nomination for Vice President"?
CNN, my comment has not been printed...I wonder why...is it because it raises some serious concerns about the Obama political (chicago) arm twisting?????
Hillary, call off your attack dog. If you can't can't run this campaign without Bill's smears, how do you expect our support if you can't run you own show.
There is one thing i know can't happen even in Afghanistan: Nobody will dare vote for a president who sheds tears like Hill with little challenge. Folks, have you considered your her possible reaction if she suprisingly encounters Bin Laden behind closed doors?? She'll definitely have a blackout!
Very few high profile politicians are willing to stand up to the Clintons when they try to abuse the process.
I salute you J.Kerry!!
Obama says he did not really know Tony Resko but he bought property from him, Rezko served as a member of Obama's US Senate finance committee, and ABCNews says Obama did not disclose hundreds of thousands of Rezko raised donations....who's the liar now Mr. Kerry??
the reason he said it was he felt the clintons didn't help him in 2004, because if he had won hillary couldn't run until 2012. thats the reason he also endorsed obama. 4 senators, all democrats, are trying to keep her from the nomination, kerry, kennedy and i forget the other two. so its noy about character, or 'stones', its about payback. john edwards was his running mate, but didn't carry his home state, also costing kerry the election. payback, thats always what its about with these guys.
For all America knows Laura Bush has been runing the Government for the past seven years, cause we all know George is too dumb to it.
Bill Clinton former President counterfeit road scholar and accomplished pathological liar is quite full of himself, arrogant and vain. Apparently this idiot
is so stupid he has casually convinced himself that we are all of inferior intelligence so mentally handicapped that we believe him! His integrity is so conspicuously absent the truth does not know him and he has never knew
the truth! Since I have discovered who he really is I have forgotten the legacy
of respect and love I once had for him and his tenure in office.
This guy endured no injustice being the first President to be impeached since
Andrew Johnson. Shame on this heathen sleeping through repentence while
in Church. My Bible makes it quite clear that this type of individual will not tarry
in the sight of God. Someone besides the Obama campaign, besides John Kerry
should stand up and tell Bill that no one is foolish enough to trust him but
Hillary and Chelsea. I do not want this power lusting family back in the White House. I do not want to lose the General Election. I hope that Howard Dean
and the Democratic party are not dumb enough to make his wife Hillary the
nominee. As a Black Man in America I have already voted for Barack Obama
and walked away from the Clinton scam!
Sincerely,
WMO
You guys just don't realize why Kerry never stood up to the swift boat attacks? Why he never once denied the actual allegations from those ads????
BECAUSE THEY WERE TRUE!!!!! Geez, figure it out. Do some of your own research, don't just believe what CNN tells you.
Kerry in an ingrate. Let Kerry the loser infect the Obama campaign. Hillary will win the election in November.
you liberals need to learn the spelling of "loser"
Clinton – McCain '08
How quickly everyone turns against Bill. He did an amazing job as president and you can expect the same for Hiillary. We need another Clinton in the White House!
It is nice to say that we actually have good choices in this election. I like Hillary, but Obama would do a fine job as well. I even think McCain would be a great choice. It's about time that we had so many strong candidates. It a shame that there is so much negativity directed at the candidates that you don't support.
Hi, Thinker in CA:
I'm a pharmacist and I will be voting for Hillary. It's just another way of keeping people from voting for Hillary since no one wants to be identified w/ the uneducated.
please , blacks (most) do not think of bill clinton as "the first black president".. that insanity began with tom joyner, host of the tom joyner morning show
Mr Kerry is the tired past. Who cares what he does? Why read this dribble?
HILLARY, YES, SHE IS A WOMEN'S PRESIDENT OF UNITEDSTATES. 1000% SURE WILL WIN.
And why do we care what this guy has to say? He obviously doesnt know how to win a presidential election.
Was it abusive for Clinton to question why Obama was comparing himself to Reagan? Was it abusive for Clinton to examine Obama's claim to an American black identity, when his only black relatives are foreigners who have nothing to do with black America's main religion, culture, or historic experience?
The world has had lots of great men, and every generation has their own great men that suit and fit the moment of that. Bill, please give us chance to taste and enjoy another great man of our time. Leave Obama alone and your fanaticness about your wife winning at all cost may tanish your image forever. Imagin when Obama wins both Clintons. That gonna be a blow and he is going to win them.
Why is CNN giving Bill so much coverage? Is Bill running for president too?
Has anyone seen an article about Ron Paul? Does CNN control who we vote for?
why would you have seen sen. clinton in new orleans when katrina made landfall????And bob ryan, yes i have seen sen. clinton meeting with heads of state, after all , she was the first lady during the almost entire decade of the 90's . and also as a senator of new york . i am sure she has meet a few leading leaders of this world,, SO WHY WOULD YOU BE SURPRISED
Why is my comment waiting for a "moderator?" It was very simple really. A grammar lesson for those who confuse "looser" with "loser."
Loser = John Kerry
Looser = Bill Clinton
An English language lesson! What is the problem, CNN???
derek wonders if there is a dem who would vote republican rather than vote for obama? I know several. He is plastic. He sounds more like a preacher than Huckabee. I don't need to be motivated or 'set afire' by rhetoric. I can motivate myself. I need someone who can get the job done and so far he has not shown that he can. Sorry, he is a manufactured face and voice. Listening to him is like being on a high carb diet - very tasty at first but then you get that empty feeling and need some protein.
as for kerry - could it be he is jealous that Hillary slugs it out for herself when she needs to? surely kerry knows by now he lost the election for us because he was to wimpy to go after the swift boaters.
Hillary Clinton 2008
Kerry has a lot of nerve saying anything bad about the Clinton's.
Remember Kerry dragging poor Bill out campaigning for him in the last election that Kerry blew. Bill hardly got home from his open heart surgery when Kerry was desperate for help.
Kerry ought to just stay inconsequential as he was in the last election. Lets hear it again" I actually voted against it before I voted for it".
Thanks John for standing up to that pervert, Bill Clinton. if not for his pervertic behavour in office Gore would be President, AND THERE WOULD BE NO IRAQ WAR. Shame on u Bill, you are partly responsible for the IRAQ WAR. NO TO DINESTY, NO TO THE CLINTON DINESTY, YES FOR CHANGE.
^that not gonna be a blow – Obama aint gonna win.
That said, Kerry was such a roll-over pansy in 2004 that the Worst President ever was reelected. With all that ammunition, Kerry shot himself in the foot. Several times.
About John Kerry: Skull and Bones. Took his own camera to Vietnam so he could film himself, think about that. Threw away his medals in protest, only to wear them decades later saying the medals he filmed himself throwing weren't really his. Marries for money. When accused of being a self-absorbed money-grubbing egotist, he went wind surfing on Martha's Vineyard while Lovey Howell looked on from a canopied yacht.
Yeah, he's a political genius that John Kerry. By the way, nice way to knife your old running mate in the back, John Kerry.
What is the difference between "abusing the truth" and "lying?"
I knew we were becoming a third world country, but I didn't know it was
Argentina>Evita Peron!!!!!! wife of a general became their darling.
Hillary her only qualification is she married a hand-picked President, by
the Fellow Travelers of the media.
wilferd,, as your bible supposedly was teaching you,, i think you missed the point of FORGIVING,, never have a heart of hate,, wow,,glad i do not follow religion based on the hate of mankind,, believe , and it sometimes comes true...
Obama is inevitability.
I used to love President Clinton. Hilary was my candidate of choice. They now DISGUST me. Now I realize the Clintons are an illusion. They have no integrity and lack ethics.
My vote is for Obama! Clintons you lost my vote.
kathy. as profound as your statement was,,, it is viewable
Ginny, there is nothing wrong with voting for a Republican if you feel that the Republican nominee has more character and integrity than the nominee chosen by your own party. It's not just about the party anymore, it's about the COUNTRY. All this partisanship is what got us in this mess in the first place.
I'm with you Dez (4). I was once a Clinton supporter but the tag-team campaigning and dirty tricks have shown me their true colors...they are just as bad as the worst of the Republicans. They only care about themselves and will step on anyone to get back to the White House. How disgusting!
Kerry must be very jealous on Clinton's success. I'd like he stays at home not comes out to talk about other people. Why did he lost in 2004? Because he does not know to respect all of American people not some who is not strong enought to become the present, like Obama.
It's very obvious what Bill and Hillary Clinton are doing: Bill is distracting Obama to the point where Obama can't give his full attention to debating Hillary because he has to answer to Bill's never ending lies. Bill is back to his dirty, sneaky tricks that he used to get elected President.. When he was confronted with all the lies and campaign promises he used to get elected, he explained that lies and campaign promises were just part of the getting elected process.
Hillary has a campaign commercial that is running in Arizona in which she says she has 35 years experience.... in what?
Well, lets remember that Clinton's anger at reporters is rare, because most reporters don't want to be blacklisted by the network producers and their rolodexes.
Takes a lot of guts to criticize the press...because they will UNLIST you in a heart beat from their rollodexes like they did others...including a couple vice presidents who foolishly took on the fourth estate!
Politicians who take on the press are destroyed in the press. We've seen more than a couple vice presidents who have been denegrated to nothingness for criticizing the press!
Don't you notice how careful cable talking heads are of NOT criticizing their hosts for their stupid questions or their one-sided theatrics? No cable news guest wants to be blacklisted for making a network anchor look bad! Fastest tactic in the world to get yourself removed frm the public access. Never pis off a network if you want to be invited back on their air!
News consumers should always realize that, and realize that this fear will keep many interviewees from crossing the points of the hosts, and tellling what they REALLY think. Remember, cable news is actually about reinforcing viewers' CONVENTIONAL WISDOM! No network will get ratings by suggesting something new to their viewers because viewers stick around to have their viewpoints REINFORCED, not CHALLENGED!
I am an impartial observer from India. I believe that if Bill Clinton was the Black Man's President. Then I would believe that Barack Obama should be and must be a White Man's President. He is a guy who honestly wants to speak the truth. He has made it a point by mentioning his teenage drug use in his book. Truth is the ultimate celestial arm and anyone who sides the truth wins. The presidential campaign has a Black Man who has sided the truth for once and doesn't fear standing up against lies. He is a deserving candidate. He is a candidate that believes in himself and the God Almighty. He will definetely win and my prayers are with him.
Obama supporters are in fairy land! Stay there and we'll have Romney or Huckabee in the White House next year since Obama has no bones about destroying the Democratic party based on a happy cheerleading squad! That's the problem with Democrats – they are a bunch of fairy tale dreamers without wanting to put the hard and difficult work into it. Now all you Obama supporters listen carefully, "Click your heels and I promise you it will all go away, We will find the great land of Oz and live happily ever after with our happy thoughts."
THEY REALLY NEED TO GET A GRIP ON REALITY!
Kerry looks and talks like a used car salesman.
It's just politics. Kerry is betting on Obama to win. If Kerry's right and Obama does win he sittin' in tall cotton, if Clinton wins he's persona non grata. It's a risky move this early in the game.
Neither one of these washed up bag of wind could hold DR RON Paul's JOCKSTRAP
RON PAUL defecates COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!
Kerry endorsed Obama because Hillary really didn't campaign for him enough to get the win. She didn't want him to win. She campaigned just barely enough to "appear" like she was trying to help. She's been preparing for this Presidential bid since Bush was inaugurated.
Kerry didn't endorse Edwards because he learned that Edwards is a constantly conniving man, and told Kerry that he wouldn't run if Kerry's last bid failed. (presumably so Kerry could try again) Edwards broke that promise.
Consequently, Kerry approached McCain about the VP offer and all that entails.
I'm an african american and I am a democrat. I am also tired of the "Clintons did sooooo much for african americans. Like what? The record number of african americans incarserated during the clinton years or maybe it was the record amount of drugs to hit the streets of the african american community during the clinton years. Or hey, what about nafta. You know all our jobs going over seas and mexicans pouring across our border taking the blue collar jobs that used to pay well but the mexicans are willing to do for slave wages. You know the wages that americans of all races fought for so that we would be getting a fair wage. The clintons are in the back pocket of big business and hillary will owe and with bill in tow he will owe also. There will be a double line outside the white house waiting for political favors and with all the pay back and butt kissing going on there will be no time for governing. For those who keep bringing up Rezko you need to look at hilliariouses legal dealings of the past and you just might vomit. Oh, thats right she won't let her files be released. Also, before you condemn the Rezko situation you should educate yourself and read up on it. Don't make a comment on something just because you heard something, check it out yourself. You might be suprised what you find. The clintons time is done and it is time to move forward not backward. Obama can unite this country that is in a idealogical civil war. The clintons will bring the war to full scale.
GO OBAMA 08
Um....Let me get this streight, Kerry is calling another politician a liar.
Since when is that news?
If only hillary and billary cared half as much as Mr. Obama.....I'll vote republican before I vote for those losers.
Bravo Kerry! First for telling the Vietnam war-era congress the truth about the war crimes, emotional costs, and other horrors of that war. Though it is disappointing that he hasn't been a more vocal opponent of the current war, he certainly is telling it like it is on this issue!
kerry uses lines right out of Obama playbook too bad he didn't come up with something when he was sinking in the swiftboat ads.
getting a recomendation from a wet mop would be better than kerry
Obama is a pack of lies
"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz."
And you need someone to DO something for you?? F' n loser..........
The opinion of Kerry do not count for me, since the day He do not defend his commentary to students about of study in order of not to need to go to the army. MR. KERRY, THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY TRUE.
My, my, what in the world is going on? The democrats are fighting with the republicans, the democrats are fighting with themselves, the whites are going to vote against Obama because he's black, the blacks are voting against the whites, the mexicans and blacks are mixing it up, can't vote for anyone who is religious, wah wah, you're picking on me cuz I'm a woman, Oprah is catching it cuz she chose color over gender, the first "black president" is dissing the blacks now, on and on ad nauseum. What did you expect folks? Get used to it and prepare for it to get worse!!!
THEY'RE BAAAAACK!!!!! The twofers, the lying, cheating, stealing. power hungry, socialist traitors!!!
(Doesn"t ANYONE remember how good it was before there was the CLINTON'S)
For some reason i think this is going to come out to a fight to the finish.
Repent, the time is near.
It's really amazing to see how gaulible most black America is, even in this century.
There is a very good chance to see a black man as President of this great country, but some blacks feel they owe allegiance to Bill Clinton. The Clintons, in their quest for power are looking to build a dynasty. After Hillary the next Clinton the blacks will owe allegiance to would be their daughter. Black America, wake up and lift up your own son. He can't do any worse. Look who's President today.
About time people from the Democratic party starts calling this horrible sabotage of the election, ........ someone please control the Clintons.
this is a pure example of who they truly are, their sense of entitlement, their belittling of AA ,they are good at creating divisive lines, and over all they do not practice what they preach but expect everyone else to do so...
I hope CNN focuses on some of the people who are running and also change some of their tittles.
Please please, dont put so much on bill, he is the past.
Dear Everyone,
If Hillary gets the nomination, I am taking my vote elsewhere! Let's start to count, Who's coming with me (1) 2,
I have decided for the first time to vote for a Republican in the General Election. I used to like Bill Clinton, but his disgraceful behavior these past weeks is unbecoming of a former president. It is shameful. He will do and say anything for his wife to win. I am/was a democrat and black, but I am sick of Bill and will vote for the republicans this year!
Kerry takes aim at Bill Clinton for over stepping the "boundaries" of a former president. Where was the outrage at Jimmy Carter for the past eight years when he was ranting that President Bush was the worst president in history? Didn't Carter leave honorable American soldiers dead in the desert? Where was Kerry when Carter should have been abiding by the unwritten rule that a former president keep his mouth shut.
I think Hillary is intelligent and dedicated to improving the lives of children and women. I was excited about her running for president, and remember the successes of the Clinton years fondly. I remember Bill's speeches capturing just how I felt. I defended them through it all.
I was excited about Hillary winning. But, after watching the campaign daily since October, I no longer support her. It was like loosing a dream, much as we can see in the NYTimes endorsement, that argues with itself about the virtues we want to see in Hillary, but is beginning to recognize the reality of who she is.
I am sad that the first viable woman we have as a candidate has to rely on her husband to get her there. But, looking back, that is always who Hillary has been.
She started out in Washington on her own on the staff to impeach Nixon. Due ethical problems, she never received a recommendation, and having failed her bar exam, she had no future in DC. So, she shuttled off to Arkansas to be with Bill.
She deserves some credit for the work she did as the wife of a governor and president. She was able to step up to the task and work on problems for women and children. But, the positions she achieved where not due to her credit, but because of her status as Bill's wife. Even her partnership in the Rose law firm was granted because of the business she brought in, not because of the hours she billed or cases she won.
Her Senate seat was won based on name recognition, and her elections, by fluke, had no serious challengers, Giulliani dropped out of the first one, and her opponent was underfunded in the second. (It should be asked, why did the Republicans not put up a good candidate against Hillary?)
Her work in the Senate, under review, has not produced any legislation. Perhaps thats why she has to run on the White House years.
Now, as a presidential candidate, she once again turns to Bill to campaign for her.
It's kind of like the story of Cinderella, who reaches her kingdom because of her prince. It's sad that the model of our first serious woman candidate fulfills all the traditional stereotypes.
Now, with the campaign she is running, if she wins, it will not be something that we will celebrate. From the lies, the disenfranchisement, the swift-boating, the division, if she wins, if we reward her for this behavior, it will be a very sad day for many Americans.
What is all this fuss about race the man OBAMA is not 100% black he is
mixed Honestly the media has paid a big share into the whole mess OBAMA look
like a great choice for president at the beginner but now different history
The clintons are well known as great politician for many and a horrobles for others this is AMERICA we should learn that whom become the next president
will have a lot to overcome Obama claims someone out there is misreprenten his record MR OBAMA What record? if you are the new face for changed your
record still to come . I' m sorry that you has to learned with them how to become a great politician you have a long way to go RACE is not the issue A wounded
country is a reality
What, Clinton's lie to the public? Well it worked with the grand jury. And now they've got a health plan for you! Expand medicaid, cover everyone on insurance, create a new public insurance plan and limit what insurance companies charge. Only thing missing is full taxpayer support for illegal aliens, socialized medical practice and beachfront property in Arizona!
jbhilt: people have turned on Bill, but he turned on us. By using lies, by insulting people, by using swift-boating and disenfranchisement, Bill and Hillary turned on the decency of the American people. The deserve to have us turn on them.
As a Republican, I'm no big fan of John Kerry, but it sure seems to me that he's calling it like he sees it. The last two weeks have shown us the real Hillary and Bill show. Sure they're for change...change back to way they've behaved in the past. Even National Public Radio's commentators from both sides of the aisle were highly critical of Bill's half-truths and outright lies, and stated they deliberately thought the Clinton's had injected the race card into the primary election. Wake up you Democrats! If you nominate these (and I purposely refer to both Clintons) political hacks, the Republicans are going to have field day slicing and dicing them in the run-up to the general election. From where I sit, at least Obama has a chance to bring a new vision to governing America. C'mon Democrats, give this Republican someone (Obama) from your party that I can at least consider voting for.
P.S. Some folks keep repeating the Clinton line that Obama compared himself to Ronald Reagan. Ridiculous! Go to factcheck.org to see Obama's entire quote so you at least know what you're talking about.
John Kerry is just better because he lost the last election and he thinks that the Clintons did not do much for him so for him its pay back time. but the tired old man should go and sit down because he is just a big LOOSER
To John: Kerry: In life there is such a thing called "gratitude". – we call such a person running dogs (in Western culture, "scoundrel"). John you are a scoundrel.
Most Democratic voters are really very "uninformed" and ignorant.
Kerry wants to remind you fools about what the Republicans did to him (and the democratic votes) despite his vast EXPERIENCE and service to this nation.
Gore, if some of you fools have forgotten, also lost to the Republican machine because of the SINS of the Clintons. Now, you are putting another Clinton out there with the dreams for "wealth"– Good luck!
When will the average Democratic voters ever learn from their past mistakes? I guess their leaders such as Hillary are as blind to the realities of life as their followers!!!!
God Save Us All!!!
Kerry is an ingrate. You go Hillary!! Don't sweat it. Kerry's endorsement is a losing waste for Obama.
Mama Teta
Greetings!
I'm an undecided voter who feels like she is somewhere in the twilight zone. I just don't see how a junior Senator is still in the race to become our president. Have we gone mad? If he were a non-African-American, he would have been driven out of the race quite quickly simply due to a lack of experience. The only thing that sets Obama apart is that he is African-American. By the way, has the political arena including media forgotten about Hispanics, Asians, and Natives. That in itself is a pretty narrow vision of our world. Getting back to Obama, he seems to be getting by on hope. He's giving everyone hope of a better future. Well as we all know from the Bush era, it's one thing to speak of hope, and it's another to deliver it. My point being that hope is nice, but one needs the tools and experience to make good on that hope. Universal health care isn't going to happen just through hope. Come on everyone, it's our future at stake. So think long and hard about his lack of experience, and be realistic about what he really brings to the table. Does he know the issues and how they will be addressed or is he going to rely on hope to get it done. I'd like him to pay his dues for a few years, get some experience and come back. As an educator, I know the value of experience, for I'm a better teacher now than I was 10 years ago. Through trial and error, practice, more knowledge, I've improved. It's been a learning curve, but do you want our next president to go through a learning curve with our futures. There is far more on the line, so let's put the focus on the issues and experience as opposed to superficial things like race and gender. Have a marvelous 2008.
Cathy: I agree with you. CNN will not post my comments, because I speak my mind, the way I see it. For example, during the debate, it was obviously Obama who swiped at Hillary first, saying that Hillary served in the Board of Directors of Walmart (of course this to imply a lot of things), and when Hillary fought back, saying Obama was acting for the slumlord – CNN went on a field-day saying that Hillary should let it go – WHY SO CNN? I am sure if she let it go, you will say she is weak, but when she fought back, you call her somehthing else.
GO HILLARY GO
John Kerry is prehaps one of most clueless men in america. I mean some one that is shocked shocked by bill clinton lying.
Kerry was not my choice in 2004 but anyone can smell a rat and the Clinton's stink!
I love watching the Dems deal with the flood of lies that proceed from the Clintons, especially Bill. Republicans have been dealing with his lies for going on 15 + years now, but of course because it was politically expedient, the Democrats defended him and his lies and even learned the art of the lie from him. He is truly the master, but what is so ironic here is that Kerry is a natural liar too. Listening to him complain about Clinton's lies is almost more than I can take.
I tend to believe Senator Kerry and Senator Obama.
Doesn't anybody remember President Clinton being stripped of his law license because of "stretching the truth?" A court found him unfit to practice law because of his lack of ethics. That says something.
Alright,!!! Kerry teaching Obama how NOT to win!! Go Kerry Go...
It is obvious who the Republicans are PARANOID about so much they have begun to attack her even before she wins the DEM nomination!!
Obama is a "dreamer" .....right now we need a "doer"
Hillary 2008
Race has always been an issue in this country. How can one explain to their child that no matter what you achieve it will never become enough to win a losing battle in America. Obama went to Harvard and did tremendously well in his pursuit to the White House yet with his experiences is still isn't enough. They said he wasn't black enough. Yet he's the Black candidate now who can only attract black voters but not enough black women! Yet he's the son of a white woman and an african black man which his black part is now mainly a negative. What in the workd kind of people exist in this countey. Stupid close minds people who in this case come in all colors shapes and forms. I as a 22 year old educated black male feel sadden that my country is as third world as they come. My mother is 50 and I guess she will never live to see the day a good man such as Obama will get elected to run and win the office of the President of the U.S.. But this country can elect a Bill Clinton or a George Bush etc.
Someone asked what has Bill done t black people. He disrespected his position as president as well as the American voters by his behavior and his inaction or poor choices such as NAFATA, Welfare reform approving a republican agenda. It's okay because he's Bill. It's sad.
OBAMA BEST CHOICE FOR DEMOCRATS
San Jose Mercury News Editorial
01/25/2008
America longs for a change of style, a change of policy and a change of heart. Sen. Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate with the best chance to unify the country and put it back on track. He is the candidate who can best restore the world's faith in America and America's faith in itself.
We recommend Obama as the Democratic nominee, believing that his political approach could eventually make as much history as being the first African American president. ...
What tips the scales in Obama's favor is the freshness of his approach and the lack of political baggage he would bring to the White House. ... Clinton's perceived negatives will cloud the campaign, and some positions she has taken over the years appear to have been based on political expediency more than core values. With that history, it will be harder for her to be successful.
Obama would dramatically change the nation's approach to foreign policy and domestic issues. While the substance might not differ substantially from Clinton's in many areas, he would have more cross-over appeal to independents and Republicans, whose support will be needed to bring about significant change.
Obama is the only candidate who opposed the Iraq war from the outset. His ethnic background and his upbringing give him a unique world view. He has the best chance to change how the world looks at the United States and restore the respect it has squandered during the past eight years. ...
He also brings a solid approach to the issues of climate change, education, election reform and stem cell research. ...
The George W. Bush-era has been the most divisive period in American history since the 1960s. Barack Obama represents the voice of a new generation. He resonates much as John F. Kennedy did with his message of hope and challenge. He is the best choice to unify and inspire America.
Hey John Kerry...T. Boone Pickins still has the $1,000,000 for you if you can prove with your military records that the swift boat guys are lying...
Why do my comments always wait for the moderator.
The DNC should have sanctioned Bill Clinton since for confirming that his wife is not capable of running for President by his unstatesmanly conducts.
Pazzinthru said: "Truth is a relative thing , and everyone has a right to his or her own version of it" ...spoken like a true Clintonite
If Hillary is the Democratic nominee, she's definitely going to lose. Too many people dislike her, even those in her own party (this message board is proof enough!). She may have experience, but her faulty character cancels that out. If the Dems really want to win this election, they'd be wise to nominate someone other than the Bill & Hill squad. Do we really want to continue the Clinton dynasty? Let's finally get some new blood in the White House and get out of this tired cycle of politics as usual.
Thank you John kerry, thank you for standing up for the truth. I have always respected you and even more now. Thank you also for your service to this country. You and Barack would make a great team, a team of honesty and integrity that would envoke the principles held by our founding fathers.
I happen to be middle aged, female, and a very disallusioned republican who is going to change parties, and going to vote for
OBAMA '08
Bill, what a joke! He used to be great, Now, I am disgusted by the sight of him. You will sacrifice his legacy, and the American people just so that he and Hillary can monopolize the White House. Bill you are a lying piece of work. Shame to all Americans that vote for Billary.
Good job Kerry, its about time someone-else stood up to this hypocrite.
Bill and Hill wont get my vote. I'd rather vote (gulp) Republican just so that they dont get the White House. Greed, the root of evil!
No matter who is elected, they arent going to beable to straighten the mess this country is in. I am voting for an American Hero with experience, John McCain knows foreign policy, what is going on in the world and he is a Leader and the military respects him! Hes got my vote. Obama needs another 20 years to grow and experience all he says is alot of sugar coated words, he is delusionall and he tells the public what they want to hear he is NOT ready.
As far as Bill Clinton goes, here we go again his big mouth is going to get Hillary no where he is a sham to the White House and did not respect the office, Bill just wants to live in the White House again its all about power, hes an embarrasment to this country and most of the world is laughing at the USA.
I was too young to vote for Clinton in 1992. Later, however, I voted for Bill Clinton in 1996 and suffered with many when he was caught in a terrible lie. I observed both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, listening intently and watching all of their stands in Iowa, New Hampshire, (missed Nevada), and into South Carolina. By the time, Bill went nuts on stage talking about Obama's stand against the war was changed in 2003/2004 as a complete fairytale. Started shaking my trust deeply with Bill Clinton. His rants made me wonder if he accidentally misstated Obama's record out of emotion. I kept it in the back of my mind, and continued thinking Clinton or Obama, no main preference. South Carolina, clinched it, I am completely certain that Bill Clinton is not only purposefully lying about Obama. He also demonstrated to me that he does not have faith in his own wife, Hillary. She can't even hold her own against a candidate on her own platform. If ignorance prevails and Clinton take over Obama for the Democratic Nomination. I am registered as a Democrat, yet I will show allegiance to the front runner of the Republican National Party, and will vote Republican. Hillary was supposed to demonstrate that she was a strong female candidate, she has shown me that she can't even fight her own campaign battles without Bill getting involved. I don't want a weak President in the White House. She has proven that she can't do anything without Bill, she is not what this country needs. Obama is my preference, if he does not get nominated, Then McCain or Romney all of the way!!
Zookyu,
When you say 'as an African American', what has John Kerry done for you. It exposes that you do not want to improve your life, It shows that you do not understand that with John Kerry (a White) endorsing and supporting Obama that he is accepting that you an African American can be free to be anything in America even the President while you may have spent all your life voting for the Clintons (12 years in Arkansas and 8 at the White House) who do not accept that you being an African American can be free to be anything in the United States.
Think zookyu. Obama is a scholar, Obama is brilliant, Obama is an examplary African American, if the Clintons say he is not fit to rule America then you can imagine what think of you. Is it ok for you to keep voting for who despises you.
The Bible stresses the equality of man before God which the Clintons do not practice. John Kerry should be praised. Obama will bring unity and change to the United States. Vote for him.
Thanks Kerry! You have said what most of us here in California are thinking. Bill Clinton lied when he was running for the White House, while he was in the White House and now while he's trying to get back into the White House. The man and his wife (right wing conspiracy," "Rose law firm reapearing documents," stolen furniture from the White House, "I'm not just standing by my man") are JUST PLAIN LIARS!! If anybody tries to tell me to believe these people again, I will think they are insane. Same old people doing the same old things and expecting a different result = clinical insanity. I'm voting Obama.
If Hillary can't control what Bill is saying and doing on the campaign trail, how will she control him in the white house while she is supposed to be making so many decisions about our country? How will she handle the bimbo control issues and his tirades then?
They have split the party down the middle, forget the republicans, they have made war on democrats. No one will work with her if elected. Bill has ruined his legacy with his antics. Very undignified. If I want drama, I'll turn on a soap opera, not National news thank you.
I'll vote republican first before I vote for them.
Also, just because a person does not win a presidential election, does not disqualify the person of being able to speak out about what is correct or incorrect in his view. It sounds like there are a lot of people still lashing out about 2004 election, we need to let it go...just let it go, and look forward. That is the problem with many Democrats, it is time to wake up to 2008 and look forward. You are not going to be able to go back to 1992/1996 even if you vote for his wife. Crying about 2000 and 2004 elections is not going to help either. I personally plan on looking forward, and going with the candidate that does not have a zillion ties to the old politics of the 90's, yet has our main and best interests at heart. If for once Democrats could solidify with one candidate and stop looking backwards, I believe many ideas and expectations could be achieved. The problem is few are willing to look forward and fight to make a real difference.
Advice to Obama; Don't stand next to him when he launches grenades!
John Kerry should shut up. We Democrats supported him, and he screwed up and lost to an idiot who should never have occupied the White House, and who should have been easily defeated. He has no one to complain about other than himself and his own shortcomings.
Good that Kerry was'nt elected in 2004. He would have gone against the nation (all people of America who vote for him) like he is going against the people who helped his campaign (The Clintons) in 2004.
I had respect for Kerry but after he started supporting Obama, I am thinking twice.
Obama is good but I dont think he is President materiall. This is not a time for America to look for a change specially with the state in which George W Bush is leaving the Presidncy and the country. Had it been in 2000, I would say "Get on Obama. Lets get a change"
Right now what AMERCIA needs is consolidation and a return to be the superpower it is. To do that the Clinton's are the best bet because they have already proven a lot in the past during the 8 years when Bill was president.
"The known devil is better than the unknown devil especially in bad times."
How do you "abuse the truth"? Does that mean blatantly exploiting the truth for one's own benefit? You either tell the truth or you tell a lie. It's as simple as that. At least Bill, Hillary, and Obama aren't weak sisters like Kerry, and it looks like you Dems are finally going to put up someone strong with either Hillary or Obama.
Rolly,
Kerry is INGRATE indeed. He asked Bill and Hillary to campaign for him in 2004. He did not endorse his former runningmate.
I can't believe i've voted for that ingrate and coward in 2004!
Reality check:
What made The United States a laughing stock was the national obsession with insignificant nonsense about Clinton's infidelity. Remember the glee with which salacious details were examined during the hearings? Gosh that was stupid, especially when you look at where George W. has brought us since.
I only wish people would be one iota as outraged about the lies told by Bush/Cheney about WMD, implied connections between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein, and how Iraq would be a piece of cake. Maybe fewer people would have lost their lives and limbs if Bush hadn't been such a great guy and had gotten rid of Rumsfeld sooner.
Obama - lots of self confidence, not really enough experience but a really likable guy, people believe in him, he promises to clean up and change the way things are done in Washington, be a leader and a uniter. Sound familiar? Yeah, that's exactly the same profile as George W. Bush.
Talk about abusing truth, huh? Kerry's probably looking for some kind of cabinet post since his Senate seat is up in 2008 and he figures Obama is his best option.
I think the Clinton's are playig Washington politics. Obama's idea of change created media attention. How to defeat that momentum? Get him in the fray of old politics and then claim he is the same. Levels the playing field on who is the candidate for change if the Obama campaign fall for the bait, which they did.
Bill's appearance on the campaign trail was minimal until the Iowa results. So, as even CNN pundits predicted, the Clintons would come out fighting as they see the presidency as their destiny or given right. Bill draws them into a fight and Hillary gets to recocile as if she is above the fray (after throwing in her jabs). It is Rove "ian", in its simplicity. Calculated and effective.
Now Bill is saying that Hillary and John Mcain are friends. That is predictable old school politics. He is basically saying if voters are tired of the bitterness of the South Carolina debates then Hillary will be amiable with the Republican leading candidate. Just bait I say.
Let me tell you all something very clearly. I post on bloggs on the Washington Post, USA today, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, AP, and the New York Times.
CNN is the ONLY website to selectively crop which posts go up. The others have filters for swearing and whatnot, but dont go around picking ahd choosing which person is allowed to post or not.
This is an outright fact. Dont believe me? Go to those sites , post whatever you like, and see for yourself.
CNN is specifically choosing which posts it wil allow, and as we can see, it insists on 95% ANTI Clinton remarks.
John Kerry THINKS a lot. But he can't be absolutely sure, can he?
I grew up in Arkansas with Bill Clinton as governor the whole time..this is the way they are...they have their own mafia.....it's all able power....their ego's are driven by
absolute power and nothing else...
America is just ending one family dynasty of Presidents. Does it really want to start another one? Are we moving from elections to coronations?
Kathy from Austin: that's great!
Kerry's a strange bird. He seems to have a knack for making people not like him.
I suspect both Edwards and Clinton breathed a sign of relief when the "nod" went to Obama.
McCain new blood?
If John Kerry is the tired past, that would put the Clinton's in hibernation! The Clinton's have done about as much for blacks as David Duke!
"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz."
As a black American I think the same could be asked of the Clintons. My success has more to do with my personal choices (i.e. education, marketable skills, money management) than who occupies the White House. I do not look for much of anything from the GODvernment, in fact I just want to be left alone to succeed or fail on my own. Only children worry about what is in some other guy's wallet. That is why I left the democrat party and became an independent. For all your complaints about Kerry, I'd bet money you voted for him just the same.

"As an African American, what has John Kerry ever did for us? He needs to stay out of this and just SHUT UP! At least the Clinton's have actually done something for African Americans!!! He couldn't even fight in the last election! Just be quiet and go make some Heinz."
And you need someone to DO something for you?? F' n loser……….
Why don't you make a real truthful list of what the Clinton's have done for you, it'll be shorter than the list of truthful people in the US Congress.
Ahhhh. A Democrat finally acknowledging that Bill Clinton is a liar. That's wonderful news. I hope that more Democrats come out against the liar.
Zookyu: Concur.
I saw that one too and wondered exactly what what Bill did besides PADER to (so-called African-Americans). He certainly didn't teach them to drop the African crap and be 100% AMERICANS.
The other one I liked was... the Darth guy who is tired of Bill's "Republican Style Attacks". OMG, It is just amazing how people do not see themselves as others see them. Where's he been the past 8 years?
Signed: 100% American with European ancestors who fought against the Negro Salve Traders.
GO AWAY KERRY YOU LOSER – you lost to BUSH !!!
...and we're supposed to take you seriously?
Gosh! Kerry again! why can he not just sit in his sofa, and watch soccer.
Ungrateful manner i would say. i would advise him that he should have played neutral instead. because he saw that obama has a potential to win at that time, his vested interest came out. it was very clear to american people.
hillary clinton was right, when he lost to bush, she said because they made some mistakes out there, in the campaign. and now kerry is making mistake again for enforsing obama.
common kerry be more smart next time.
My friend's daughter has applied for internship at the White House.
If Hillary is the nominee, she will withdraw her daughter's application.
How about you guys hmm? Trust HillyBilly enough to have them around any of your female family members?
Then what is the basis of your support?
Four years of Bush, Eight years of Clinton, Eight more years of Bush does anyone really want another four more years or more with the Clintons. Time for a REAL CHANGE.
The Clinton's represent "All the King's Men" politics. America simply can't afford this kind of junk anymore. We are quickly running out chances to get it right. A Hillary nomination will mean a Republican election, no doubt about it.
Okay, so as a person who will be voting Republican...I'd just like to say that I want the candidate from the Democratic party to be a good person for the job as well and Hillary seems to be driving most of y'all away. Sure, that's good for John McCain followers, but c'mon, let's get a REAL showdown going this year. I want to see two people who will run a clean campaign and focus on the issues and Hillary Clinton is clearly worried about herself while Barack Obama spends his time pulling out the race card and letting his crazy supporters like John Kerry run around and hurt his campaign...hmm...I think Democrats should take a second look at John Edwards.
I don't recall ANY democrats raising issues with Bill's "abuse of truth" when that abuse was directed toward republicans.
Welcome to reality democrats – this is Bill Clinton, it's not anything new.
Kerry should shut up. There is enough fuel on the fire without him adding to it.
What does abusing the truth mean? Why not say lie? Does it mean stretching the truth, what? Does it mean hurting the truth. If you abuse your spouse, you beat them up. So does that mean it is true, just beat up? Splain it to me, Lucy
Sorry to say that Obama really look like somone.............
BUt he doesn't look like a president of USA at all.
Be real, I'm not support him to be a unitedstates president due to his talk and no solution. Any body can say CHANGE, CHANGE, CHANGE. but how can he changes? No such as good plan!!!!!
Hillary will get my vote for her Health care, Economies and Security Plan
My words to Bill Clinton, Give truth a chance, give the genuine man of our generation a chance, give change we can trust a change ??????? So where you give a change and you proved yourself then!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Unless you forgot something in the whitehouse that you want your wife to help you collect, otherwise, give truth a chance and support your wife with the dignity of an elderly state man.
Kerry is just another person criticizing Clinton for "attacking" Obama, without responding to the criticism of Obama. They say that accusing someone of "attacking" you works with voters, but we'll see. At some point, I think a person has to stand up and defend his record and positions on the merits.
I used to respect the Clintons. I voted for Bill twice. Now they disgust me.
Did I miss something here? People are calling Obama a "cry- baby" becasue he defended himself against the Clintons dirty politics? Wasn't it Hillary who teared up and choked up when she realized she could very well lose to Obama in NH? As a woman, I was so unimpressed with her "tears", and even less impressed with the women who rallied around her just because her feelings were hurt. What had Obama said to trigger her "meltdown"? Interesting...the woman who asked Hillary the question actually voted for Obama. Thank God for "clarity of thought."
I trust the same kind of wisdom and scrutiny will prevail not just in South Carolina, but throught the entire race to the White House.
I can never forgive John Kerry for his defamatory and untrue testimony before Congress in the 1970s about the conduct of US troops and their leadership in Vietnam.
But I can now commend him for his bravery as the most prominent Obama supporter to speak out against the Clinton slime machine and risk incurring the wrath of Billary. Where are you , Ted Kennedy?
Have no fear, Hillary is more than able to run the country without Bill. You surely mean to speak those insecurities about Obama, don't you? As for Kerry, can't believe that those who disliked him so much 4 years ago are praising him for attempting to add to Obama's campaign. Unfortunately, enough people disliked him then and more now, that it actually takes away from Obama's aspirations. All for the sake of getting his face in the news again. I am a democrat and somehow John Kerry got my name on a mailing list of his. Never heard from him before he sought the presidency, now he sends out regular mail about issues before Congress and how we should feel or that we should notify our representatives immediately. NOW people, these are left over aspirations for an office that money could not buy him last time. Hopefully, he will go count his money and stay out of politics for both candidates sakes but more so the democrat party. I don't dislike Obama, I do feel he ran before he was ready. Wish he would have waited this one out and gotten more experience. That is what frightens me about his seeking the office of Presidency. Hope our party can be at peace soon.
The media has made a big deal out of this mess....Bill is campaining & telling LIES for Hillary just like Elizabeth is for John & Mrs. Obama is for Barak so what is the big deal. Bill is the former president & like all of us he has freedom of speech, if you don't like what he has to say tune him out...The media has turned this into a nightmare & if you have watched, CNN has become more & more like FOX they favor Obama just like FOX favors the GOP. If you remember a few months back the Obama's & Edward's were attacking Clinton from all sides, she laid low & when she started attacking back Obama started whining & crying FOWL, he is lame, if he thinks the Clintons are bad just wait until the GOP gets a hold of his behind, I am sure CNN & Jim Clyburn will be their to comfort him. As far as Kerry getting into the mess, typical the mess is almost over & now he speaks, just like when he ran for the Oval office too little too late that is one of the reasons he lost to GW, he waited too late to fire back....I feel certain Obama will take SC but it will be because of the black vote not the white, most white's feel that Obama was the one who played the race card not the Clintons & he has done nothing but whined & cried....VOTE Edwards 08....
Why do all of these women support Hillary when she is married to a man who violated a woman with a cigar under the family's roof? If you will cheat on your wife and daughter, you will surely cheat our country!
ATTN DEMOCRATS:
I challenge you to go to any ticker story that has Hillary Clinton, and find one whose comments don't contain anger, hatred, questions of morality, integrity and overall concern.
This is not just coming from Republicans, but Democrats as well.
My question for you: Why would you want to divide the Democratic party like that, and drive a large wedge into the country. That is what she will do. And the divide you are seeing within the Democrats will not heal.
Why do you want to force this woman on a country that finds 46% of the public questioning her integrity and morality.
If you don't like Obama vote for Edwards, but don't destroy this country!!
Why all the media bias for John McCain? Isn't America picking the GOP nominee? I listen to CNN on satellite radio and the coverage is so heavy for McCain, you folks are shamelessly shaping the outcome of these primaries. Keep your bias to yourselves!
If people think Bush is bad wait until we have another four years of the couple who wouldn't know the truth if it hit them you know where.
Enough of the Bushes and Clintons.
Great to see the Demos eating each other.
Abuse the truth? A P/Correct cannot even use the proper words...
it is called a LIE. A lie by anyother name is still just a lie.
I have seen each of the canidates say whatever is convienent to please the group to whom they speak....Clinton, Romney, Obama, McCain,
.....Longing for a truthful godly leader.
A President does not need to know how to solve all the countries problems, he needs to be a leader to point the direction, protect and uphold the contitution. A president once was someone to whom Honor was worthy. We were proud of them, they represented us... now it is mostly disdain, the one with the most believable lie and biggest wallet is America' s President...in no small part to modern news, thank you news media
John Kerry gave Clinton a license to lie when he voted against conviction in the impeachment trial about lying under oath in a civil case.
If He votes that its ok to lie in violation of the law, how can Kerry object to campaign lies of which he is also a good practitioner.
Ben, Columbus, Ohio; you are right. John Kerry could not fight for his own election. I will vote republican before listen to him.
Talk about "abusing the truth", Nation, please take a moment to view "THE VIDEO THAT HILLARY DOESN'T WANT YOU TO SEE" on the Internet. It is free of media bias since every major news company aired it for months because of how serious it was, including FOX, MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, etc. In short, Hillary just barely escaped real jail time for major election rules violations during her NY State Senate campaign and the Clintons relationship with promoter Peter Paul. What a Mess! Paul was no "saint", (who engages with the Clintons are?), but he raised lots of money for Hillary only to be deceived and almost destroyed by them. One of the Clinton flunkeys wound up taking the "fall" for Hillary just to keep her out of jail. The Clintons in turn act like Peter Paul does not exist. ...."Abusing the truth?"....Hmmmmm?
What did President Clinton actually do to help and protect the State of Israel? Now he is attacking Senator Obama for statementes that the Senator never mad. Give me a break.! Signed Joseph benJudah
"Kerry was beat by an Idiot"? Who voted the IDIOT in...TWICE???!!!!
THe CLINTON DIRTY POLITICS MACHINE has used the REPUPLICAN TACTIC created by ROVE/CHENEY/ BUSH and any American who FALLS for this...
deserves the LIAR they vote into office.
As a Democrat, the CLINTONS make me SICK with their TACTICS!
RUNNING ON CHANGE! What in the past few weeks have the CLINTONS shown change. Attack, lie, attack some more. Then when pressed to defend himself Barack is criticized as a whiner. Just like KERRY. The Republicans knew what they were doing, it was a big plan, and it worked, we feel for it! Don't blame Kerry, blame yourself America for FALLING FOR A TACTIC.
CLINTONS...the CHANGED DEMOCRATS....Bill is the new CARL ROVE!
We deserve another IDIOT....... if we fall for this!
The dems and others can say criticize all they want, when the final votes come out all of these posers will vote for Clinton because she is a dem.
I just read a column in the LA Times,Jonathan Chait, who said just this. This makes this guy just as phony as his article. He saids that they were liars and so forth, but he will vote for them anyway. What a bunch of crap. So his comments have no meaning whatsoever.
Kerry will support and vote for the Clintons, and so will every other dem. This is just a bunch of nonsense so that the dems can feel morally superior to the Clintons, which is not going very far, and at the same time vote for them.
Complete hypocracy. But then that is not surprising coming from the dems.
Do the Clintons realize that their tag-team politics is their Achilles heel? It will win the nomination and cost them the election. Americans will not elect this dynamic duo of power hungry, egocentric, unscrupulous, scandal ridden demigods. Just imagine a marriage of Nixon and GWBush in a liberal costume! The Clintons must be stopped before they finish this implosion of the Democratic Party. Do they care about the party? No way! They will party like it's 2999 and dance on the ashes of any Democratic victory that doesn't include them. If they can't win, kill 'em. Remember, they're from Arkansas. They're ready for a shoot out and will leave no one standing. If I had my way they would be exiled to Bagdad until Christmas, 2008.
Huge numbers of young voters have turned out to vote and caucus for Barack Obama yet the Clinton campaign still tries to make him out to be the "black candidate".
If Mrs Clinton wins the nomination this campaign strategy will hurt her in the end because these same young Democrats will revert back to being the same apathetic under thirty-five year olds as they were in previous elections.
Record turnouts for the Democratic primaries have little to nothing to do with Clinton or Edwards.
to pazzenthru: "truth is a relative thing" Ha the Clintons couldn't have said it better themselves – loser
All the losing John Kerry comments here lack any substance. . . and therefore tells me you must lack substance. Just an ugly rant that most humans seem to get easily sucked into. . .
Sad that you can't take people for what they have done, and appreciate the fact that Kerry was the Democratic nominee for a really good reason. . .most people I think just couldn't understand more than 3 words. . .(partly why Bush won) Kerry was too intelligent for the average Joe, and the average Joe would rather have a beer with Bush than try to understand what Kerry was saying, I wonder if that's partly anyone's problem who can't see the patriotism, goodness and integrity that is in the man, John Kerry? Or, are you just being a sore loser?
What kind of people hate half the nation? The Clintons! Hillary coined the phrase "right wing conspiracy" because of her communist leanings. And Bill just loves power – over anything and anyone. Scary thought to imagine the 2 of them in the White House again, chasing the women.
The only person who would have had this picture is
Rezco, proving that he and Obama are still dirty dealin
What an OXYMORON, to use "Truth" and "Clinton" in the same sentence! The goings on in the Democrat Party is no shock to many of us that do not respect Clinton. He may be regarded as the greatest living American politician, but is that really a compliment?
Two Deadbeats calling each other out ........this is good stuff here ladies and gentlemen...........both of these disgraces are nothing but smoke and mirrors.........and the ignorant Dems voters actually believe the Clintons........one can only hope if Hillary is elected............heaven help us............that her tax and spend schemes, will drive this country into a s Depression........sounds negative huh?.......Clinton is a socialist, her policies are not good for America and the ultimate price to be paid could be an economic meltdown............bring it on, can't wait!
You know, if Kerry had chosen to SPEAK UP in 2004, we wouldn't be in this mess to begin with! Instead, he chose to run his campaign like a patsy. Who cares WHAT he has to say?
Some men see things as they are and say, why? I dream things that never were and say why not? Bobby Kennedy
Hooray for John Kerry! Someone who's not afraid to call Clinton on his attack dog tactics in the Democratic Party.
-kerry is obviously going with the mob in responding to bill's political strategy and for his own personal agenda, whatever that is. in the 2004 presidential election, i made a mistake voting for him -now i am voting for EDWARDS in support of the issues he stands for and his concern for the poor and the downtrodden. he is the best example of living the American dream -born poor himself but worked hard to earn a living and become a brilliant lawyer defending people treated unjustly by corporate giants.
Hillary and Bill are awful. I can't believe the things they do to try to get elected. Its disgusting. I don't know how they even live with themselves. I actually used to like Bill, now I feel used, (like many interns must feel after "supporting" Bill). If SC doesn't go for Obama I'm switching to McCain. At least he has some integrity. Hillary is in this for personal gain, she and her husband abuse their power, and I can't live through another term of lying, cheating, arrogant politicians who will say and do anything for power.
With or without Kerry endorsement Obama is Obama. Shallow. Obama is where he is simply because of luck.
Time to face reality Kerry – Your not relevent anymore, so stop acting like you are
Kerry is the biggest loser in politics, loser can't show Obama how to win, he wants to join with his cabinet because Kerry knows Hillary will not hire any stupid expert in her ministry. Smart voters don't care about Kerry's view, he will lose again to Hillary Clinton. Obama, A drowning man will catch at a straw.
Hey morons:
Learn to spell. The word is "loser" (not "looser").
The word is "traitor" rather than "trader."
No wonder our government is such a mess. We have so many illiterate voters. Do you know what a dictionary is?
I was a fan of John Kerry. This articles sometimes have made me so upset enough to move off his email list. I used to respect John Kerry, but now he is throwing out more accusations which is not helping us come together in Unity. Although Obama is a nice man, I'm sure Obama requests that his action has to be taken, but it's not be ready to helpe the American people.
GO HILLARY!!
And After all the rambling...Barack Obama was sworn in as President of the US in Jan 2009.
Nice end to a story...don't you think
For me and us in Holland it's very exciting to see this political campaigning.
Where has Al Gore been hiding during all this?
Love that show of loyalty by Kerry – Bill campaigns for him in 04 and Kerry attacks the Clinton's in 08 – I have a feeling that the swift boat members didn't get all the facts right – Seems they left out the part out about Kerry kneeling on the back with the Vietnamese and shooting at the US troops during the battle.
Wonder why he doesn't hold Obama to the same standard? Is OK to be evasive and to blame the Clintons ever time they try to make him run on his record or lack thereof because he represents the largest special interest group in the Democratic party? In any case Kerry continues to act in ways that help the Republican candidate succeed in November.
THE FACTS ARE SIMPLE EVEN THE OBAMA NUTS CAN UNDERSTAND IT IF HILLERY WAS NOT RUNNING OBAMA WOULD BE ON HIS KNEES BEGGING FOR BILLS HELP SO NOW HE HAS BILL IN THE OTHER CAMP AND HE IS SWEATING BULLETS HE CAN NOT WIN IF HE IS THE DEMS CHOICE WE (AMERICA) WILL KEEP ON THIS PATH DOWN WHERE THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR GET (WELL YOU KNOW) WAKE UP OBAMA SUPPORTERS BEFORE TOU FIND OUT YOU BACKED A LOST CAUSE
Can anyone tell me what the clintons did to help african americans?
Kerry is being boligerant and perhaps it is HE who needs to tone it down. It sounds to me as is someone is a little bitter. Bill has spoken facts. Maybe they're facts Obama's campaign and supporters don't want to hear, but they're facts nonetheless.
Listen people, I would encourage you all to do your own deep research. Read books...more importantly, read the plans each candidate has outlined. BE INFORMED! So many of you sound so blind and hateful in your comments. Is that what you want for yourself...for our country?
Hillary '08!
John Kerry – the man who gave the 2003 race to the Republicans, by running the worst possible campaign, should keep his nose out of the 2008 race. This man, who basically said and did nothing for a month after winning the nomination in 2003, shows a complete lack of "mateship" for ditching Edwards now. You would think Democrats would be asking this man why he chose Edwards as his running mate in 2003, and yet has dumped the poor man already in 2007.
With a friend like Kerry you don't need enemies.
Funny, nobody is noticing the irony of how the Democrat attack machine is waging war against one of its own. I'm not even a Democrat and I despise the Clintons, but I think it's ironic that they (the Clintons) were media darlings just one year ago. I'm having difficulty trying to figure their motives. Are the Democrats really putting all their eggs in the Obama basket? Are they accepting the fact that Hitlery cannot win because of the fact that she voted in support of the war? Or are they trying to keep the Clintons at bay with the media until they switch their support back to them in the final stretch?

The Clintons are doing what they ALWAYS do. Blame everybody else for doing exactly what they are doing. Then claim to be the victim. I cannot think of one thing the Clintons have said the truth about ever. But this all needs to be laid at the feet of Hill, ignore Bill, he is just doing what his wife tells him to.
The bigger question for me is who will be running this country, Hillary or Bill. Will Bill have to step in and fight his wife's battles or will she step up and be the strong independent woman she claim to be. I was a Hillary fan but if she has to run to her husband every time she has a foe to fight I will be giving my vote to someone else.
John Kerry must be working for the "right wing conspiracy." If you want someone who lives in a fantasy world to be your next president, then Hill's your gal.
IF OBAMA SHOULD WIN .
WHO IS GOING TO BE HIS VP. SWIFT BOAT !!!!!!!!!
I'm thoroughly disgusted with Bill and Hillary and their back-room dirty politics and tricks. These two are neither brillant campaigners or true Americans. They are liars through and through. My disgust is beginning to seep over to those of you in the Democratic party who would support Hillary. She's a charlatan of the worse kind.
As a life-long Democrat, if Senator Obama does not clinch the nomination, I (along with many, many others I know of) will take a look at the Republican candidates and be done with the Democratic party for good!!! I've had about as much sleaze (Clinton-style) as I can stomach!!!
I will like to advise the people of america and the entire world that, clinton and his wife should go home and never return again, imagin bill clinton calling obama skinned man or sorts of dirty names is against the law and human race.
Hillary clinton will be a looser and will continue to loose in all her helpless effort.
My advise to obama is let him be strongger every day, clinton family are fighting in vain, the peoples choice round the globe is barac obama, obama is the book of life while clinton is in the book of hell.
The peoples choice is the choice of God almighty while the hell perish in hell.
Obama is the peoples choice ordained by God.
Bill Clinton has abused the President's title since he was in office. He and Hillary
have made this campaign one of the worst slur campaigns in history. Thats all the Clintons know how to do, is put the blame on everyone else but themselves.
They need to clean there own slates before running for any type of office.
God help us. if Hillary get in as President. Bill will have another 4 years to screw up the White House and tarnish it name and Hillary will probably condon his actions. She did the last time.
Kerry,didn't do good. He is a looser. He could have won in 2004 if had little more sense. We will do it, we should do it I, we have to dot it. Should know more than that.
There is No HOPE for Obama! No experience and his connections to Islam either through his rearing or current church will be torn apart by the unwanted republicans.
Just because he is an excellent presenter, he lacks in every other area.
The only reason he will do good in South Carolina is because of race! Face it... that is not a racist comment it is reality. The same as poor old Oprah! She turned her back on her "women" just for a racist stand! And now she is facing a major lose of followers.
With all of the democratic slinging, even the republicans are looking better.
Another time Kerry makes headlines. He thinks Obama will make him his VP. As the old saying goes, People in __________ want ice water. JMO
Sen .Kerry look in the mirror , there's "something" on your nose!
What an OXYMORON, to use "Truth" and "Clinton" in the same sentence! The goings on in the Democrat Party is no shock to many of us that do not respect Clinton. He may be regarded as the greatest living American politician, but is that really a compliment?
That's like calling someone the "greatest used car saleman".
Who cares? The Democratic party has forgotten what the issues are. The issue is NOT John "Helmet Head" Kerry. Hillary and Obama. Neither one of them are qualified. As a matter of fact, none of the Republican knuckleheads are either. We are at a quandry in the election of the next President of the United States.I can't imagine any of them "leading" my country anywhere.
Kerry and others are simply feeding the fire. I've watched the news and listened to the candidates, and this business of "racially fueled" by Clintons is just nonsense.
I kept looking for the horrible things the Clintons must be doing and couldn't find them. No facts to back up this nonsense.
Therefore, it must be a strategy. An old one, too. Let's hate the Clintons.
These guys should be ashamed of themselves for being this darn obvious.
What former president Clinton should do is rise above the political fray and say nothing. He should have the honesty, courage and moral integrity to let his wife run on her own merits. Former president Clinton cheapens the office of the president with his involvment but then that is one area that he excells at!
OH! If that's not the pot calling the kettle black!!!!!!!!!!! lol!
Hi everyone
If Obama is on the ballet I will vote republican.
Kerry is a loser. I do not care what he has said. My vote is for Clintons. I think Barack will win in S.C because he is black and John Edward will split white votes with Clintons. But Barack has no chance in CALIFORNIA. GO CLINTONS!!!
Kerry (being an ex-presidential candidate) should also be quiet as he is being a hypocrite too talking bad about others. It is quite amusing to watch their true colors come out!
Obama introduced that so called race card when he introduced Oprah into his race.....she said in her way that it IS TIME FOR US.....not us being all of the people in the US just part of it...................Kerry is still a jerk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CNN,
Thanks for continuing to push the Clintons' race-baiting with your headlines this morning.
Howard Wolfson and Mark Penn could not have picked a better headline themselves than your continuing obession with the black vote. They're slapping five in the Clinton camp. You've set up a situation where Obama can't win today, no matter what happens.
SHAMEFUL.
All you Bush haters are still children. You must hate the Daddy in yourself.
As far as the Clintons go, they are pathological liars. And all you Bush/Daddy haters love to be lied to.
John Kerry is in the same club as the Clintons, he is an elitist liar as they.
Barack Obama is far to idealistic to be the kind of liar the Clintons and Kerry are,he doesn't have his lying act together yet. Give him a little time.
Go Bill......you 've made your mark not only in America but worldwide.i dont see anything wrong in a man standing up for his wife,atleast Michelle Obama is doing the same for her husband.we need someone with a strong heart as the president of the united state of America.
So yesterday I heard on the vast right wing talk radio that Senator Clinton says that people from MI & FL want their voices heard, during this democratic beauty contest. Does this mean she is going to ask Howard Dean to count the delegates from those to states now so she can get ahead of Obama? If I was a woman I'd vote for Senator Clinton too because she's a woman.
Darth Vadik,
you are shining product of Liberal policies. A perfect example of California public education. I suppose it was the right wing smear machine that took your ability to spell and correctly structure a sentence also. The Billary machine is running out of steam, their own party is telling them to pipe down. Maybe there's hope for a few of you lost souls after all.
Whether Obama wins or loses doesn't ultimately concern me. But the margin of the victory by whomever, is directly a correlate to the amount of which America is a racist country.
Obama is not black or white. He is the control or the placebo in the test. Be careful America. You are showing the world how far you have or have not come on the racial divide. I can't wait to see the results!
Ya' know what I wish for is that CNN would just report news instead of trying to make news. I think everyone who works for the station should go back to journalism school and take a page out of the Edward R. Murrow book and use it!
John Kerry ought to go back to the senate and start worrying about his seat considering he will be up for election soon. Or maybe his intention is looking at the VP. seat. Oh...now that would be an awful site!
Its my first time to agree with sen.Kerry But he is wrong again,has he forgotten Clinton has licence to lie?he lied under oath
why is cnn so biased against Hillary? they never post my comments esp when i bring up the race factor in all of the states outside the south; Iowa the delegates were split so did Hillary really lose there? All CNN does is slam HC and blame her for dirty campiagning; obama threw in the race card and it will destroy him...
Clinton 08
The attacks between Obama and "Hillarhea" regarding race: all from the party who claims to not be racist. Absolutely sickening. Re-read your history books people. Oh..........what's that hissing and sucking sound??? The Democratic party going down the tubes in spite of themselves.
The Clintons should have quietly left the political arena, many years ago. Their exit is long overdue and will not be made with grace. They must first finish destroying the Democratic Party. This money mad/power hungry pair should never have been in the White House. Americans must not forget the sleaze factor and the "do nothing" administration of Bill Clinton. If you want to see our country go to hell in a hand basket – elect Hil. And remember, Bill is included in the deal.
Clinton Supporters -
If your candidate becomes elected, you are effectively giving the White House to the republican party. Think about that. She is the MOST divisive candidate out there – half of the American people say they would flat-out NOT vote for her if she was the nominee. And this is only January! If she continues the way she has been (which she will) – I can't imagine how many more people will jump on that bandwagon. I for one will hope there is a 3rd party candidate I can support if she is nominated, because I don't want to have to stay home on election day (and it's not going to be McCain, Huckabee, Romney, or whoever is left over there).
We cannot afford to give this election so easily to the republican party, especially when their nominees are so pathetic in the first place! It is time for a change from the policies of the GWBush party.
Just something to consider.
I think John Kerry is kissing Obama`s butt, hoping to get VP. Obama isn`t that dumb! I hope!
Democrats must stop attacking Democrats. It's one thing to disagree with a policy; it's another to attack on a personal level. Democrats should do everything they can to be supportive of other Dems and not give fuel to our collective enemy - the Republicans, who will use every scrap to discredit any Democrat. We don't need to give Karl Rove and his gang of 'swift-boaters' any more ammunition. Grow up boys and girls. Our lives and our futures are on-the-line.
Fed up in Austin.
Hillary keeps talking about her years of "experience". Based on that... expect to see Gisele Bundchen start the Super Bowl in place of the injured Tom Brady.
Laura Bush 2012 !
Think about it !!! Democratic party can't afford another lose in this coming Nov after 2000 and 2004. If Bill Clinton didn't do it now Republican will !! It is better for Obama being tested in primary.
I guess Kerry means that only politicians in office have the "license to abuse the truth".
I'm not shocked that Kerry has jumped on the Obama bandwagon; I'm just disgusted with how Obama has mislead not only him, but so many voters. Countless democrats I know have vowed to vote Republican if Obama is on the winning democratic ticket. Tragic, but absolutely necessary.
Endorsement from Kerry the loser is the kiss of death. Obama beware! Bill was a successful President with a very high approval rating even today. His endorsement of Hillary thus has true value. Journos take upon themselves the roles of judge, jury and prosecution when discussing Hillary's criticism of Obama. Hillary's comments are dubbed "divisive" and "polarizing" while all manner of spin is offered to soften and obfuscate the impact of Obama's comments on Hillary. Obama now shamelessly courts the black vote and yet has the audacity to call himself a "uniter". Come 5th February, Obama will be shown the door by voters and Hillary will be the nominee!!
So, Democrats are just figuring out that Bill Clinton is truth impaired?
By supporting Obama, Kerry is intensifying the infighting of the demos. Edward was his ruuning mate! I feel much better this time for his loss. I can not vote for Obama as he is playing with the race card. Even if he wins S.C., he can not win the majority. I can not understand why some hate the Clintons so much. Don't you think the Clinton years were much much better than the Bush years? Wife can campaign for husband, why not the other way around? Anyone is better than Bush. But Hillary and Edward are better than Obama in experience. Vote for Clinton and Edward ticket!
Debbie in CA,
That's a creative line about how saying only uneducated voters are voting for Senator Clinton is just one more way to hold down her vote.
Unfortunately for your argument, the demographics are what the demographics are. The fundamental reason Senator Clinton won in New Hampshire and Nevada is because of non-college educated voters and women. That's how it is. Now, is that to say that no college educated voters are voting for her? Of course not. Since you're a pharmacist, you obviously know how to read statistics.
But, the bottom line is that Senator Obama has dominated Senator Clinton is the vote amongst educated voters who are able to think for themselves and see through the masterful spin that Clinton perpetuates (including for example the whole "experience" thing which is much more rhetoric than reality to use one of her terms).
Just the facts ma'am.
What did Obama promise Kerry VP? It doesnt really matter who supported the war the truth is no one can go in and pull the troops out in one day. Get real. Don't worry our country is about to run out of money – so hence the military comes back and are out of jobs.
So John Kerry has spoken some truth at last – and about Bill Clinton to boot. Yes, I'm surprised because first of all, he didn't use his favorite euphemism "misleading". Abuse of truth is so much cuter, don't you think. I've finally come to the conclusion that he just can't spit out the word lie so he puts that education of his to work and uses bigger words and phrases.
I have no use for Kerry or Clinton (take your pick as to B or H) but I have to give Kerry credit for saying it out loud instead of on the phone in secret has been alleged to have happened with Ted Kennedy. There has to be that moment when the Democrat leaders finally say out loud "have you no shame?" Of course the answer to that is no, they don't have any shame because sociopaths aren't wired the same way we are – and I suspect that Hills is as big of one as Bill has proven to be. Do we really want these losers to run our country? We all know that if she's elected Bill will be right there insinuating himself into the process – frankly, the 1990s weren't great enough I want to see them repeated into the 2010s. Dems, it's up to you to take away their power and tell them to go back to the hills of Arkansas.
John Kerry, thank you for speaking the truth. We need more J. Kerry to speak out.
Bill Clinton should chill out, and sit down. His disgraceful behavior these past weeks is unbecoming of a former president. It is shameful. He will do and say anything for his wife to win.
Liberals are natural born liars. If they didn't have all the liberal media domination, they would be run out of this country. Kerry is like the kettle calling the pot black.
I'm proud the swift boat guys told the truth and exposed kerry, like kerry is now doing to clinton.
Where were Kerry's "cajones" while the T. Boone Pickens-funded Swift Boat Vets were laying him wide open with lies?!?!?!
And Personal Lucas McCain:
The Swifties were outed by ONI 2 years ago – they admitted to lying and getting paid in excess of $300,000 to do it. Paid by Pickens, under directions from Rove.
just like the kettle calling the pot black
We are talking about race in this primary (especially SC) since Billary's comments (which, even as a white person, I cringed at the LBJ comment when I heard it). Let's look at this- I know black people very well, so much that I know most of them feel that their voice is unheard in politics.
All this primary proves is that Obama can motivate people to get involved- this is commonly students and blacks who feel they are uninterested for one reason or another. So of course, there are those who will vote for a black person or woman just because of that, more importantly, however, this is about change and that Obama has motivated those that were once uninterested to get involved- thus invigorating black people!
I will not ignore that since the famous "comments" were made by the Billary push, it certainly caused some to changeover from Clinton to Obama- but most importantly, this is about all the people that did not used to vote, that will vote now for Obama.
One of your commenters called Obama a "crybaby" and I just have to laugh at that because it was Hillary Clinton who shed crocadile tears after loosing in Iowa in order to consolidate the white female vote. If we Democrats had any sense at all we would see what is in store if we nominate "the Clintons". The GOP will have an absolute field day rehashing all of the scandals of the 90's. Are we really that naive? She can not win! I actually don't believe that Obama can either for obvious reasons (race and experience) , John Edwards is our best bet but the news media have already decided that Hillary is the nominee by writing off Edwards. America will get exactly what it deserves, another 8 years of GOP rule!
John Kerry lecturing someone about being truthful? Does he think we have forgotten the myriad of sound bites of him contradicting himself on a daily basis during the last election?
For all you that insist on misusing the term "African Americans", please get it straight. Unless you were BORN somewhere in Africa and then became a US citizen, you are not an African American. Plain and simple. How difficult is that for one to comprehend?
One of the funniest news stories on this subject last year was from Brittain. A news journalist referred to a mob of rioting black youths as "African Americans". The riots occurred in England and the journalist was Brittish. Oops!
Neither the media nor Obama's supporters are not helping him with all the whining about criticism from others. It really smacks of immaturity!
It is disingenious to twist comments into divisiveness, such as screaming racism when Hillary gave credit to Pres Johnson for his push to make new laws to support ML King. One leader's actions does not negate the others–both played critical roles and our country needed both of them. Grow up guys and start looking into ways we can make our country great again–not the greedy global bully we've degenerated in.
If you want real change, elect Hillary. Quit pointing at a gender issue and look at her intelligence, level-headedness, committment, integrity and experience. She has already been tested and proved.
I jst wanted to say that my former running mate is a great guy, it is just unfortunate that his judgement leads him towads the path of blind idealism, if he endorsed me people would recognize he believed in our goal and that is to take back washington from the lobbyist and make sure the proud American would get what he deservers, a brighter future for himself his children and his childrens children, I as president would stand up and fight for the right because I took come from the clss which struggles most in these times of economic turmoil.
go far away KErry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This man Kerry lack integrity ........ He was not loyal to our country when he was in service.....He married a woman for her money.....now he is bad mouthing the Clintons who have always been supportive of him.....he needs to work on his character flaws.....
I supported John Kerry enthusiatically but he failed to fight back -
Why is he fighting back against a fellow Democratic President who worked hard to get HIM elected?
Kerry's actions make me support Hillary – not Obama.
I'm voting Clinton in my primary.
I hope Mr. Obama will be elected the new presidente of the USA in hopes of garnering more postive growth than we experienced for 8 yeras with the Clintons. Let the new people speak and let the people take over. No more abuses fron the good old boys. Former President Clinton is gone, he should be at home thinking about retirement and not talking about changes to made that were not accomplished previously.
Millons of people in Africa were killed per his policy interests and his infedelities while in office we down right shameful.
No more lies to the American populace. Joining forces with Mr Richarson would bring a lot of Latino votes from his tent as well.
America needs two things, a fair shot at living equally and insituting the linds of changes that will make the country a better place.
CNN please STOP shovving Obama into out throats.
Obama is clearly winning black vote and will win S.C easily. Why are you creating a story as a legitimacy.
UGH! CNN
Hey i remember the good old days when americans only had to worry about who Bill was seeing, not food, gas, war, jobs, how the world felt about us, loosing your house. Would like some better days, without Bill dating. Not sure if Mr. B obama . can give that to us. Did you know is first name starts with a B also.
I am not American but its very easy to see what is going on here
...It's true people do promise much during the campaigns and say things to discredit other contenders but most of u guys never figured out why Billy Boy CLinton is getting out of control . . . . . . .
.........................Many of u ask urselves why Hillary did not leave him after he not only lied to her but also to the whole nation about miss piggy Monika L.. Well ladies and gents . . .he is paying back his dues cos he surely promised to put Hillary back into that same oval office where it all happened . .but this time she is going to be in command . . . .so as we say . . .By Hook or by Crook . .. . . .I am sure the founding fathers of the USA never thought this far as they put down the constitution of this country regarding couples wanting to grab power for more than 2 Terms............
Well it is left for the people of America to redefine the rules ans set all records straight.
America has something beter than Bush. Its a new bright star...
Well i dont know what u see . . . .I see Obama
I think as a woman from the other part of the world ,obama is a symbole of unity,hope and manner ,i see in him a man who can bring america back to what we used to call (american dream)wich no body from the outside word prononce any more,obam is a symbole of hope and equality too whene it comes to the big racism america is still dealing with,giving this young man the chance to the white house means giving hope to americans and all nations around the world ,with obama,i can see the great america and peacful world........please make it happen ,imagine just imagine how happy w'll be........god bless all.
Strategy should be forget Miss Clinton and target only Billy Boy until dooms day. I am sick and tired of this lying and cheating crook and we have not forgotten his nightly escapades in white house and downtown D.C. If he has any shame he will hide under a rock and fade away.
John Kerry is a Statesman. The American People were the losers in the 2004 Presidential Election! Hopefully, we will have learned something from that experience and follow his endorsement. Vote Obama.
Thank you, John Kerry. Thank you for defending Senator Obama. Thank you for exposing Bill & Hillary as a couple of thugs...
hey people,
campaigning is a circus. its all smoke and mirrors and populism. if you dont learn about your candidate early you have no idea who youre voting for. youre only waiting for the winner of a game where the strategies are ad hominem attacks, and populism. heres how i made my choice:
hillary is a subversive, self serving, secretive, and power mongering politician who is all too commonplace in washington [shes a really smart george w bush (scary)].
Barack Obama is an individual that tempers his idealism with his realism. he is a person that genuinely cares about bringing change to washington (and is also capable of being a catalyst for change ie not corrupted yet). he is the only candidate who seems to grasp the interconnectedness of the international political economy and domestic issues.
come on people do me two favors; 1. learn how to spell basic words like loser (seriously) 2. make an informed decision and realize you have a unique opportunity for something new
What have the clinton's done for the African American Community? WHAT exactly? not rhetoric....show me the numbers.
And....
Is Candy Crowley a journalist for the clinton's or CNN? Having a difficult time deciding?
I do not understand the current situation of the Democratic Party. As a lifelong Democrat, this next national election is their's to lose.
I am completely disgusted with the Clinton's unethical attacks on Obama. Should Hillary get the nomination, I have seriously thought about not voting in the next election.
The best candidate is right before everyone's eyes and the people can't see it. John Edwards has the best message and is the toughest candidate. The same voters who thought Bush would protect this country are the same people who will continue to refrain from voting for their best interests. When will America wake up and see the real world!!!!!!!
Clinton is a liar. Do you remember ….." i did not have sexual relations with that woman"
Until the history books for our children get rewritten
about our forefathers' genocide of native americans,
slavery,
colonial / imperialist wars,
nuking Japan,
corporate resource grab around the word, and so on,
there will be NO change
in the downward spiral of this nation.
Does anyone get the feeling that someone (Kerry), is positioning themself to be the Vice President?
As a Democrat –I have given up hope. Both front running canidates do nothing for me. I am appalled at the Clinton - "lets bring back the old days" with an x president and his presidental wife canidate spouting off about all her experience. I want a president who runs on their own merits and qualifications not those she takes credit for from her husband's presidency. I thought Bill was the Clinton elected president in the white house but according to her it sounds like she was the commander-in-chief. I am also tired of the chest beating, backstabbing, lying, and flip floping. On the other hand Obama is a young gifted man with thoughts of change much like B. Clinton had when he took office. I just think that his lack of experience would parallel the mistakes that Clinton had in office due to not being knowledgeable on worldly affairs and international relationships. I will vote Republican.
I think John Kerry thinks Bill Clinton did not help him in 2004 as the Clintons had the Plan for 2008 Presidential election.
Psssst CNN!!!!! You put up the wrong picture man.
Kerry is supporting OBAMA...yeah that's right OBAMA. We've seen Clintons ugly face enough already.
That's pretty good...someone who knows the Clintons VERY well and is publically supporting OBAMA. I hope he can help Obama in the North East since ole BillyBoy has Obama in a strangle hold in the South. Now I bet Kerry knows a thing or two about Clinton politics even without reading the headlines.
Having voted for Kerry, I could never figure out why he didn't answer back to the swiftboaters who trashed him so badly. Why is he speaking out now, and mudding up the waters when it's not his fight ? It has to be personal. Had he defended himself in 2004, he might have been president, however, he came out looking like a wimp. The Dems are infighting as it is, and it can't be good for the party. So, Kerry, unless you can say something positive, so what you did before and be quiet !
I wouldn't be surprised if Obama wins that Kerry pushes to be his running mate. I don't see a lot of other reasons why he would side with Obama over Edwards.
Kerry formally endorsed Obama on January 10, saying then that Obama "isn't just going to break the mold….Together, we are going to shatter it into a million pieces."
Maybe they took his quote out of context, but...
The mere thought that the the Clinton's and Bush's would continue their dynastic conquering of the American people, wielding any means to gain power and bankrupt of any integrity is a humiliation of what our forefathers desired. This once grand Republic has been converted into our now tabloid Democrazy. When the American people have choices like Bill and Hillary Clinton and the Bush's, and these people linger on like flatulence in a small closet, should we wonder why things are indeed as rotten as they appear to be?
The circus is in town, the tent is up and clowns are parading their antics. It's all a circus and we are paying dearly for the show. I'm sore afraid our nightmare is just beginning and when we awake we'll rub our eyes and hear the clanking of the chains permanently affixed. America is being carried off in biblically grand style and she will not return. These words are by no means prophetic but certainly rational extensions of intelligent American's who understand and have read the history of civilizations.
It's interesting that Hillary – The Queen of Kleenex – has got Bill fighting her battles for her, while Obama – Mr. Premature Withdrawal – has got John Kerry...two pathetic losers shilling for two hollow suits. Too good to be true...
Kerry should find a nice farm and go to work on it. Four years ago he proved to be very inept. He should stay out of the foray. He's a loser.
A half hour ago, my wife, daughter and I proudly voted for Senator Clinton in the Florida primary. We intend to vote for her in the general election. She has the right stuff. Our nation will benefit from her being in the White House as our president.
God Bless America and President William Jefferson Clinton. We are such a better country because of President Clinton. He can do no wrong by me. I trust him absolutely. The times they are a changin. Thank God. And thank God we have Bill Clinton to stand up to the Republicans who have nearly destroyed this great country. With all due respect, Kerry was not able to do the same. Give em Hill Bill!!!
I am getting really frustrated by this debate... and I deeply questioning the motives behind John Kerrys involvement.(poor Choice, Obama!) As already mentioned, Bill Clinton campaigned for him and Edwards was his running mate. Very likely that he will let Obama down as well. No integrity to be found in his behaviour...Also, it was Obama, who started to attack BClinton through his Reagan/ Clinton comparison. Understandable for me if Bill Clinton shoots back.
Also, why is it always emphasized that the Clintons are power-drunken? He ran for President and won twice, she ran for Senator and won twice... that was the peoples choice. Obama has no goals that are any different from this. So per definition, he- (and all the other candidates) – is power drunken too. In the beginning I thought he was different, but now – no... this is not about hope. Hope and "unifying" and change, where does it start?...instead of "fighting" for a message about change, why not start behaving differently???.Obama talks about it, but where´s his action? However, Hillary Clinton and Obama together, that could be wonderful, hope they finally will come to grips ... for America...
Beside this I am really sick and tired of CNN´s way of reporting... All these hateful little "news" about Hillary,....its just horrible and leaves me suspicious,that there is still a hidden gender problem...Clinton gets attacked because of raising the race topic, but in all these critics and comments about Hillary Clinton is a lot of hidden "gender" adversity. MEN!!!
Obama is the best choice for theRepublical party not for the Democratic party. They will call him OSAMA the moment he get the nomination Also Bill is not running he already WON twice and if constitution allow he could beat anyone.
Having voted for Kerry, I can't imagine why he is being so outspoken for obama against Clinton. He might have been president now, if he had shown some guts when he was being swiftboated. Instead, he let his constituents bleed for him and what they were saying about him. By putting in his two cents now, he is throwing fuel on the fire, and contributing to a fracture in the Dem. party. I guess his character is such, that he can only throw snide remarks, after all, it's not his fight, we already know what a wimp he is when it comes to defending himself. So, Kerry, unless you can contribute positively, try windsurfing !
OBAMA'S camp started the race thing and I would bet my paycheck it was pushed by Jesse Jackson.THEN Bill started the mud slinging. OBAMA made the first attack on Hillary during the debate.
Why are the Clintons getting all the blame and not Obama???
Hey Kerry, You blew it on your own, many of us worked very hard for you and you let us down. I don't believe Bill and Hillary will. Go get em Clinton's.
WE NEED TO GET BEHIND JOHN EDWARDS & get clinton & obama out of our hair – EDWARDS / LIEBERMAN 2008
The Swift Boaters are the traitors.They do business today with the Communists in Vietnam.
John Kerry is a snobby, full of himself, righteous fool! He is a turncoat....(sold out Edwards) hoping that he will get an appointment from Obama..
He is linked with Senator Kennedy.....need I say more.....
John Kerry lost the presidential election four years ago and is only thinking about his own publicity. Bill Clinton was president twice.... Kerry could not even make it once, even against a president who was already unpopular because of the war
Sit down John and zip it.... you are a L, L double L .....Loser.
Go back to sking with your billionaire wife.... flying around on private jets....pretending that you understand the common mortal......AHHHHHH!!!!!!
you have freedom of speech problems, as-to posting opinion? shame on you.
I wasn't offensive....that's the state we are in, folks.....*sigh
I totally love that B-Movie- Carnasaur, when the military jumps into that broadcast station, and arrests the clowns that are trying to cover-up the impending disaster.
I watch MSN for the hotties on FOX, and that's about it....*sigh
Read the news on various sites, and listen to the so-called, waning Talk-Radio audience...*sigh...you people are so-friggin' daft !
Even people like myself; aren't as stoopid to drink your Kool-Aid anymore.
Now, print-this, or get off My-Algore's internet !!!
I voted for Bill Clinton twice and after i saw him lie and induce race into the campagin
not only am i going to vote for Obama if I see Clinton on the ballot im going to vote republican.
John Kerry's flip flopping again uselessly. Will hurt Obama. Party affiliation notwithstanding, dissing a former vastly more popular ex-US President is not good politics. Face it, Bill Clinton based on sheer performance statistics, was still a much better President compared to the current one – on the domestic economy (recall budget surplus), world relations, military (recall Bosnia – executing a clean surgical war just enough to ensure victory, smart enough not to get embroiled in it.). America was successful domestically and internationally. on top of the world then!
I like Obama – smart, intelligent, eloquent, fellow colored man.. but he does lack the experience. The presidency is not about eloquence. It is about experience and the ability to deal with seasoned politicians in Washington, and world leaders and issues.
But the presidency is not about whether a black man, woman, white man, republican or democrat or independent is at the helm with the finger on the button. So we need to stay about the fray here and these nasty politics.. We need to examine who truly has the experience to solve the complex mess we are in – economy, international peace, war.. There's been too much fear mongering, robbing the country blind to fund a war that was based on lies, and causing international instability in the middle east.
The next president should be someone who's been there, sees the importance of not wastefully spending on reckless wars, pulling the economy from its bootstraps, investing in job growth, production of goods, investing in innovation and research, stuff that made America great leader of the world, restore its respect in the world.
Believe it or not.. I think Hillary would be a good choice. for President (apologies to Hillary haters) with Obama as the VP, and having Bill Clinton around would not hurt either. We have series of serious, complex, intertwined problems.. We need a team that has been successful before to be there again. Having Obama in the mix, as VP would help to keep the Change theme going.. and keeping the Clintons honest.
The only thing I dont like about Hillary is her pro-choice stance, and her vote for the Iraq war.. but her keeping her family together in tough times is commendable. If she gets us out of the Iraq war, without compromising national security that would redeem her. She needs to be more fiscally conservative. Bill's public repentance, apology and asking for forgiveness for his sexual indiscretion while in office, redeems him, IMHO.
– a fiscally conservative, anti-war, pro-lilfe voter.
(surprised?)
Hey Ben from Columbus, Ohio: Why don't you change your name to Thomas, you big Uncle Tom, you.
Talk about the pot calling the Kettle black. They're both loosers...
I'm still trying to figure out which Clinton is running for office here. Hillary even takes a subserviant position to Bill when they stand on stage. Check it out, she tends to stand to his left and slightly behind him. If she gets elected to the White House, who is going to be the real president behind those presidential decisions (Bill or HIll)? And is our Swiftboat jockey trying to get lined up for a VP position here? Gosh, can't even imagine that combination. Bill/Hill and the war hero all running the company. Or is it Hill/Bill and the hero?
If it takes Sen John Kerry to tell you that a Clinton distorts the truth, then I have a beautiful piece of ocean front property in Mongolia for sale.....paid in full with Euros or bars of gold, please. The dollar is weak now.
I echo my brother's comments from Tstin, CA. I cannot vote for the Democrats if Hillary is the nominee. Have had enuff of the Clintons.
So John Kerry (who served in Viet Nam) FINALLY noticed that the Clintons are liars? And now he takes his opportunity to Swiftboat them!!! This is hilarious!!! As if the Clintons, as disgusting as they are, are any bigger traitors, self-serving liars, cowards, and frauds as Kerry (who served in Viet Nam). If the people of this country re-elect the Clinton cabal to the White House, they will deserve to have their taxes raised, their economy devestated, their health care severely dimenished, their oil and gasoline rationed, and their kids brainwashed with liberal garbage.
Anyone who has paid close attention to the race knows that Kerry is spot on here. Regardless of who you support. Bill Clinton is again playing fast and loose with the facts. And again, he is playing the media like a violin.
Glad to see one of your own, John Kerry, thinks Bill Clinton is over the top and his lies ignored. I feel so proud that George Bush, Senior, never went out barn storming of George W. He knew how ex-presidents should conduct themselves.
Kerry's right . How can you honestly attack someone based on lies. Talk about the kettle calling the pot black, if you want to know what kind of President Billiary is going to make just investigate for yourself the whole Peter Paul fiasco. The abuse of power by Bill to cover up this fraudulant 1.2 million dollar nightmare should give everyone a clear picture of what's kind of shennagins that the average Joe will have to pay for. Obama has been upfront with the people and it is unbelievable how quickly people forget what the Clintons have done. REMEMBER THAT THE ONE WHO HAS DONE THE MOST WRONG WILL ALLWAYS SCREAM THE LOUDEST AND POINT TO OTHERS.
Hey Everybody....Watch the last debate when Obama stated that he, like Hillary VOTED FOR THE WAR and then later had second thoughts. About a half an hour before he said he opposed the war from the beginning...Which is it? WHY HAS NO ONE CAUGHT THAT??? Are you all so mesmerized that you can't hear?
Relax democrats. It's not terminal. You can still come over to the light. Go GOP !!!
EDUCATION is the KEY
Obviously most of the posters are in severe need of it!!
I am sorry, but if you can't even beat G.W your comments about who should win don't matter much. I would really like to know what "truths" Kerry thinks are being distorted. That question never seems to be addressed.
Angelina make me #3 and I know of many more that will do this. I am a white, female, senior citizen registered as an Independent voter who became a Democrat as long as it took me to mark my ballot and after that registered as an Independent before i left the polling place. I vote for the individual and not a party. I will be in the polling booth but my "X" will not be for Hillary and I can not say, at this time, who will be receiving my "X".
John Kerry, failed Presidential Candidate, should be considered an expert on the concept of stretching the truth. Did I mention that he served in Vietnam? Well maybe 230+ Swift boaters are just liars! Anyway, he and Bill are in the same camp and I feel Obama will suffer from both. The change we need in this country is to put these political dinosaurs in historical storage!
It's obvious that leftties can't spell and they critisize us ? How many of the respondants have a BS from Yale and an MBA from Harvard ? George has.
I can't believe either one of them. What a hoot!!!
Denise,
Obama was not in the Senate when that vote was taken. Get your facts straight.
Isn't it strange that Libs call Kerry a sore loser-but but not Al Gore.
Bush is a liar-but not the Clintons. My what a mixed-up world they live in.
Being a moderate Democrat for many years, I must say that I am sick and tired of the Clintons. I made up my mind: if Clinton is going to win the nomination, I will sit out or even vote for the Republican (depends who it is) this coming fall. Somebody who does and says anything just to become President – no matter what the facts are – should never become President.
To Debbie in CA,
I really think you are in error about your demographics for New Hampshire Results. Obama received a majority of his votes from sections of NH that are remote and disadvantaged! That is factual! Just look at the maps and the truth is there. In almost every area of high density and secondary education locations, Hillary Won. So for you to say that Obama took the educated vote is absolutely INCORRECT!
I lived in NH for almost 30 years and I will tell you the truth...that New Hampshire has one of the fewest populations of blacks. I say that not as a racist but trying to cover the entire array of darker skinned individuals.
Now at the same time... South Carolina will vote heavy because of the opposite reasons. SC will cast a strong Obama voting results! Just like Oprah... who turned her back on her female followers to cast her preference for a black man!
The election is a popularity contest not one built of experience nor honesty. It is clear that Obama has no experience while the Clintons have questionable honesty. People will vote for "their kind" and that is visible in elections around the globe!
A Different Educated Voter::
Surely you must know, generalizing something as complex as educated vs uneducated support towards one particular candidate makes you somewhat of an idiot.
Are you telling me that only Educated people are able to think for themselves?
You must be young and in college. I finished my college, but do plan to return.
I have looked at all three candidates. And this is my opinion:
Hillary Clinton has been in politics for 35+ years. She has fought for many different things including women's rights in corporate america. She was first lady to a man who "some" people lable as one of the most horrible presidents. Many of those people were still with mommy and daddy during that time. The Clintons are politics and I felt sorry for a newcomer like Obama to go against the machine.
Barack Obama has experience in politics, altho not as much as Clinton. He is a great motivational speaker and I can understand how he appeals to the younger crowd. This man has more charisma than Hillary, he's like Bill was back in the 90's. His record however says alot about his character. His present votes and his missed votes are something I can't look over. Also, when Hillary was front runner in this nomination, both Barack and Edwards attacked her. Now when Hillary attacks back, Barack calls foul. Barack does not have the structure to stand up agains the Republican party. Tho Democrats have the help of the Bush Administration this next election.
John Edwards would make a great president. He has shown he is above the mudslinging, but he has also shown he can throw a punch. Edwards hasn't been in the spotlight so I have yet to tell if he can take a punch. Obama has been showing alot of frustration with the Clinton campaign.
Democrats. You all need to step back and take another look. All three of these nominee's have lied. All three of these nominee's have cheated. They are regular people like you and I. This race has divided the democratic party so badly, we may not stand a chance come november. The people to blame for this segregation are not the nominee's, but the people who are so stubborn, they'd rather throw away their needs, their beliefs, and their goals, than vote for another democrat with the same needs, beliefs, and goals.
Hillary Clinton is leading in the national poles. A clear front runner needs to be decided come February 5th so that we can put aside this petty segregation, and start supporting our democratic candidate for president.
The Government is in such a trench right now it's going to take someone who knows Washington to get us out.
Hillary already knows the floor plan of the whitehouse. Obama will need a tour.
What a jerk Kerry is, first his endorsement over his former running mate was very dishonorable, second his bashing of Bill Clinton. We all know Kerry has issues with the Clintons. But if people remember he had to pretty much beg Bill Clinton to campaign in states like Pennsylvania. How was it possible for someone to loose against George Bush??? I'll tell you the reason why, because Kerry ran a terrible Campaign, he had to bring the Clintons in at the last minute to revive his status even in Blue States. With that being said, I voted for the guy and even worked and donated to his campaign. I know in my heart this is another Kerry machine move for future prospects. This guy has a large network, do not forget this.
It's really amazing to see how gaulible most black America is, even in this century.
There is a very good chance to see a black man as President of this great country, but some blacks feel they owe allegiance to Bill Clinton. The Clintons, in their quest for power are looking to build a dynasty. After Hillary the next Clinton the blacks will owe allegiance to would be their daughter. Black America, wake up and lift up your own son. He can't do any worse. Look who's President today.
So let me get this straight...I am Black so I am supposed to vote for Obama and I'm somehow showing my allegiance to the Clinton's if I vote for Hillary...get over your crap dude...I am black and I am voting for Hillary because I think she is the best candidate ...period.
Obama is biracial, black and white. I don't have to be black in order to relate to him or feel that he understands my challenges as an ordinary American. I think that reducing the vote to a racial vote is a miscalculation on the part of the Clintons. It is like reducing a vote for Hillary as a feminist vote (if so, how ironic).
Bill Clinton has every right to support his wife in her campaign but that does not have to include dumping on her opponents with lies, smears, and plants/shills. You can support someone without tearing other people down. Laura Bush interviewed during the last election and all she did was boost her husband and I thought that was the key to her appeal.
The accusations of Kerry being "disloyal" is laughable when discussed in relation to the Clintons. Anyone with a large enough wallet can easily purchase their loyalty, or at least a picture of it.
People have short memories of the Clintons - the absolute shame Bill brought to it and the impeachment! Who is going to represent us around the world, weakling Hillary? Strong in words when she has her "loving hubby" speaking for her. When she doesn't get her way with other world leaders, does she bring Billy in to fight her battles? Is Billy going to fight her battles on the Hill?? Wake up, America!! Let's get some fresh blood into OUR WHITE HOUSE!! We have an intelligent bi-racial, well educated young man who is able and willing to lead!! Let's keep our White House cleaned of the Clintons and elect Obama!!!
As a republican, I'd like to weigh in with my thoughts on this.
I watched as much of the Demo debate that I could tolerate on Monday night and walked away thinking that John Edwards should just stand on the sidelines and watch these two gasbags self-destruct. Neither of them is worthy of the respect that the President of this country deserves. In fact, Edwards could rise to the occasion and every time he's called on, answer the question, point out where he stands on things and then watch the fireworks when Clinton and Obama tear into each other. I
As for Bill, it's always been the practice that former Presidents have stayed out of presidential elections. This campaign is an interesting situation where he's the spouse of a candidate, something where he has the chance to set the tone for how this case is handled in the future. Unfortunately for the nation, he's falling back into the standard MO for the Clintons in a campaign. Kind of sad.
I don't get why the hoi polloi on here are so dismissive of Kerry simply because he didn't win in 2004. Do you really think this man is a sore loser? Remarkable people lose elections all the time and go on to remarkable and relevant careers. Walter Mondale? George McGovern? Al Gore? This isn't an episode of "Smackdown," for Christ's sake.
Kerry is completely ridiculous. First he has the audacity to not support his former running mate and next his impertinence allows him to blast a former president. Kerry didn't win his bid because of character and his attitude is thus again reflecting his lack of authenticity.
watching the Clintons fight the other Democrats like 2 cats thrown in a bag. I love it. The thought of having to look at or listen to another glib Clinton for the next four years literally turns my stomach. I've never been a Democrat, but Barack Obama inspires me. He is articulate, intelligent and not a dissembler like Billary. He or John McCain would be wonderful Presidents.
Clinton is being slammed by everyone at CNN and the obama hate machine; obama is a divider.... look at national delegates ya'll SC does not matter
When you are hiring a person to be the CEO of a country, don't you think it might be a good idea to hire some one who has experience as a CEO ?? None of the Dems do. Fact. All of the leading Republicans do. No brag, just fact. Get real people.
I am for from a John kerry fan. I do think his views are off from mine...But way to Mr. Kerry!!! Launch a few bombs at ole Slick Willie!
I am deeply disappointed in the Clintons because of the false attacks on Barack Obama.
For years I trusted Bill Clinton, considering him one of our brightest presidents. Now, I reject that viewpoint.
Obama radiates something that the others do not have– a universality, an inclusivity that America desperately needs. He is a forerunner with regards to a certain unity consciousness that is becoming more and more widespread. I hope that he and Edwards enter the White House. Obama as president and Edwards as vice president. It is not only foreign terrorism that needs to be addressed, but the domestic terrorism created by Big Business with their immense power and insatiable greed.
Kerry you are 100% right......... Bill clinton should chill............
I had been a consistent supporter of the Clintons from the days of his glorious elections to the painful and shameful days of his impeachment hearing. Not for a moment did I ever think that Bill would degenerate so low to humiliate the office of presidency as is currently doing for his wife. I thought he genuienly loves and cares about togetherness of democractic party, but now it is clear that his ambition to be in the white house for another 8 years has blinded him from the truth, respect and integrity. Why will a former president of the greatest nation on earth engage in the recent mud throwing all because you want your wife to win primaries?
Well, the fall out will be bigger than any statistical estimates could have computed.
For me and many of my friends, the damage is permanent!. Hillary will never get my vote. I will vote for any Republican "grown up" before I consider democrat's fighting babies. Where is common sense, where is decency, where is integrity, and where is honesty? Is it true that the Clintons will say and do anything to fulfil their ambitions of getting elected? I won't bow to the mess!
While I could only read about 20 of these comments before getting dizzy ... my very first thought is ....
The Clintons, seeing a Hillary bid in the 4 year offing, did practically nothing to help Kerry get elected.
This looks like 'payback' to me.
Please, don't let me confuse you with logic.
To Debbie in CA:
You are a smart woman and indeed productively educated!
The Clinton needs to stop their primitive campaign style!
We soon see if they change.
to Shatner this is the United States of America, racial bias aside, Americans vote on the issues, vote obama 08!
Are we surprised that Clinton is "abusing" the truth?
have we truly descended into the abyss.
Two losers going at it!
Let the fun continue!
If Hillary Clinton is elected President for the next 8 years, there will have been either a Clinton or a Bush in the Executive Branch of Government for 36 consecutive years. Isn't that a bit much. As a country I think we would be suffering from (Bush/Clinton/politics of destruction) fatigue. Our country needs a change from these polarizing political families. There is no such thing as, Hillarys turn. For the good of the country these two policial dynasties need to step back back for a generation. That includes Jeb in 2012 or 2016. Wouldn't it be great to have presidential candidates from both parties that you could be proud to support.
such as Obama and Mc Cain. Much more preferable than to hold your nose and vote for Clinton or Romney.
HEY DUMACRATS! WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING EACH OTHER? WAKE UP! DON'T FALL FOR THIS GARBAGE. IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE NOW – THEN LOOK AT THE LAST 27 YEARS: DADDY BUSH – VP 8YRS, PRESIDENT 4YRS. HUBBY BILL – PRESIDENT 8YRS. SONNY BUSH – PRESIDENT 8YRS. WHAT – NOW WE WANT WIFEY FOR 4 OR 8 MORE YEARS AS PRESIDENT? COME ON – DO WE LIVE IN A ROYAL MONARCHY? STOP THE BUSH/CLINTON EVIL AXIS JUNTA. VOTE FOR A REAL CANDIDATE – NOT FOR A POLITICAL FAMILY DYNASTY THAT WILL DRIVE US ALL INTO THE GUTTER. VOTE FOR YOUR COUNTRY, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FUTURE. GOD HELP US ALL.
Maybe the truth behind Kerry's remarks stem from the fact that because Hillary entered the 2008 race, he could not, so now it is an attack on the ABC (anybody but clinton) campaign... or maybe kerry is hoping to be the next vice president– nothing he is doing is purely for the "good of the party".
I think it's funny that many of you are insulting John Kerry, but don't have the intelligence to spell the word "loser" correctly. If I were John Kerry and were reading the comments on this blog, I would laugh at those people. He has a degree from Yale and is a millionaire. For full disclosure, I am a conservative(not a Republican) and disagree with almost all of Kerry's viewpoints, and most of those of the Democrat party as well. The fact is, no matter who is being dishonest or disingenuous, Republican or Democrat, they should be called on it. Open your eyes. Most of our politicians are the same no matter which side of the isle they stand on. The more you defend a politician because of some emotional connection or because of the letter next to their name, the less credible you are. Our forefathers would be disgusted at the politicians and the citizens at large that are turning into lemmings watching the country slip into mediocrity without regard for the law. Before you judge me, think to yourself about what I have said.
The Clintons have one aim: personal revenge against those who exposed Bill with his affair with Monika and for him to continue his disgraceful acts in the white house. The Clintons are so scared of losing to a Black man they feel sick to their stomachs and will do anything negative to win at the expense of losing to the republicans in November. Don't forget their role in land dealings in Arkansas and the fraudsters who campain for the Clintons. Bill wants to be in the whie house for reasons not for the American people nor their interests but for thier own selfish needs. Don't forget, the the Clintons are self centered thugs beautifully disguised to look good for nothing. Please ask Monika, she will tell you everything you need to know.

ILL TAKE BILL CLINTON A PROVEN WINNER OVER JOHN KERRY AN ABSOLUTE LOSER ANY DAY OF THE WEEK....OBAMA CAN HAVE HIS ENDORSEMENT. IT MEANS NOTHING!
Did anybody notice, when Obama said he is a Christian for more than twenty years now??? What was his religion then when he wasn't a Christian???
It seems like Obama is playing safe to be naive..His weakness: "don't hand him papers in two seconds or else he might lost it", denotes that: in emergency cases he cannot respond immediately as needed when necessary..
His opponent, Hillary is tough, accurate, transparent, ready to serve on DAY ONE, brave of any criticsms, strong and intelligently answers questions, her life history is open to the public, she didn't hide any..yet she is being accused as a liar?
The people are the BEST JUDGE, the election speaks for itself.
John Kerry just want to steal Bill's charisma..it is inappropriate for him to tag Bill "abusing the truth"...its the MEDIA who actually abused the TRUTH!!!
Transparency is the name of the game...and only the Clintons have responsively stand for it...GO HILLARY!!! GO.......
Bill Clinton is a liar? Wow, Kerry is groundbreaking on that one.
What does abusing the truth mean? Why not say lie? Does it mean stretching the truth, what? Does it mean hurting the truth. If you abuse your spouse, you beat them up. So does that mean it is true, just beat up? Splain it to me, Lucy
Kerry is right...Barack is a smart,educated cool&calm customer who will bring some great ideas and new growth to this counrty for all Americans. But some of that vision gets lost because he is forced to defend himself in all directions, and that's just in his own party no less.
What should he do, stand for and accept the clintons negative accusations and distortion of their own truth (nice photo by the way Mr.&Mrs Clinton)?
I used to respect the Clintons now I can't stand them. I'm confused to, who is Barack running against?
These are some dirty people w/dirty politics. Hiliary seems very nasty, and vengeful, do we want that in our President?
Kerry, Obama, Clinton all together in the same place? Wow, I didn't know the circus was in town!
Yeah,
I've often wished I could get my campaign contribution back from Kerry. What a weasle!
I never wanted him as the nominee in 2004 in the first place. I voted for Clark. But I supported Kerry when we got stuck with him, Then he puts his big size 12 foot in his mouth, calling Cheny's daughter a lesbian at the convention. He didn't need to go there. I got so ticked off at him then, I wasn't that upset when he lost.
Now he's turning on the Clintons. He's still a weasle.
Rae
Read The Bok . The secret life Of Bill Clinton By Pritchet. You will be shocked How Bonie & Clde Clintons got away with there Crimes
What did the Clinton's do for the African Americans or this country for that matter? Bill Clinton sold this country out to the Chinese. Wake up people and read the history on his Presidency. What happened to Ron Brown and Vince Foster and others that were close to the Clinton's. They only want one thing and that is power and if they get in the White House again, the whole world will loose.
I am university graduate under the age of 35 with 6 figure salary and I am supporting HIllary. This post for those arrogant obama supporters who think Hillary supporters are old and uneducated.
I don't get it, what do you people want? If Obama doesn't respond to the attacks he is weak and can't play hardball and if he responds then he is running a negative campaign, using the racial card and mudslinging. It is a catch 22 for him. Great Karl Rove strategy for the Clintons. Also using Bill as the attacker while keeping Hillary as clean as possible is really cleaver. I just hope that the voters see through this and vote for Obama or Edwards.
Let's think about this people.... If Barack Obama looked like Edward's being the same person and having the same views Barack does now, the Demacratic election would be a forgone conculsion. Hiliary Who....
Things that make you go Hmmmmm
I'll take Bill Clinton fighting for me and my party anytime, anyday, any year, against anyone! I would gladly have Bill fighting on my behalf whether it's against my brother (Obama) or the rich kid down the street (Repugs).
Looking Presidential??? Being Presidential??? Those are his to sacrifice and he clearly has decided Hillary is worth the sacrifice. Don't you folks get it???!!!
Give me a break! Kerry took a plastic knife to a machine gun fight. Come on people and CNN. Bill is just getting warmed up...and this country will be so much better for it. Maybe if Kerry had "allowed" Bill to fight for him, Kerry wouldn't have had to mortgage his house in the primaries OR lose the national and lose the country all in one night.
As a Democrat, I am so sick of us whining about we need to fight and then running scared when one of us starts a fight. Pick your side and work it...but please stop the whining!
I sure as hell would buy a ticket to the butt kicking Bill would give those Repubs in a matchup with Hillary. His recent comments about McCain and Hill having a nice election is a lull...Bill is sharpening his tools and warning McCain!
Michele & Barack need to take some lessons in case the rest of you buy the MEME b.s. and give Barack the nomination. They will need Bill Clinton...ask John Kerry!
Why didn't Kerry support Edwards, his old running mate??
They had so much in common afterall, like their changing positions on the war and their $400 haircuts.
Now he's endorsing Oboma and attacking the Clintons? He just keeps getting it wrong.
Rae
...blah...blah...blah....both are lying liberals
Bill Clinton doesn't just abuse truth.
He also abuses your trust.
Well done John Kerry. You are supporting the right person.Obama is the best candidate.Enough of the Clintons.
Thus the tin kettle calling the pothead black...................
How ironic: the phony war hero calls the perjurer a liar.
John Kerry is a miserable loser. his candidacy was torpedoed and ridiculed when he acted nothing to counter the liars who were out to destroy him. we owe him a big favor for handing over another 4 years to GW Bush. Obama must be kind of feeling queasy when John Kerry embraced him snugly in his arm during the endorsement announcement. some people even suggested it's a kiss of death.
Why he decided to endorse Obama is beyond me. perhaps he is still licking his wound in his swiftboat nightmare or he still has problem coming to terms with reality up to this date. what a pathetic figure to begin with.
What we need is a formidable and strong candidate who can withstand all types of attacks from the Republicans. Only Hillary has gone through all that and is able to fulfill this mission in recapturing the White House and restoring our country from economical and political ruins devastated by GW Bush and his diehard Republicans.
I love it! Liberals fighting? Two powder puffs can hurt each other. One dope smoking coward calls another dope smoking coward a name. Not one of them could carry a Marine's jock strap! Although Bill might like it!
Think not once but twice Mr Kerry who started the race thing it was Mr Obama not the Clentons i want this country to move forward not backwards this is not the way to get in the white house wake up people i am a black man and you have my vote Hillary right to the end.
to Martin Edwin Andersen-who cares what the San Jose Mercury News editorial has to say? how many readership they have? if not because of your honorable mention, they would have disappeared unnoticed . Why don't you quote the New York Times which at least is an internationally known and respected newspaper?
I garantee you Obama will be smashed into pieces by the ferocious Republicans if he gets the Democratic nomination. Want another Swiftboating of Obama?
Only seasoned fighters like Hillary has the winning strategy against the barbaric Republicans because she's been through the hellfire and returned unscathed.
John Kerry and other liberals have finally discovered what conservatives have known about the Clinton's all along – they are liars. Maybe there is hope for the democratic party.
I just love how all you Clinton supporters have spent the last 8 years hating Bush stating "coverup" in everything he's done, yet you're willing to turn your backs to all the coverups the Clintons have been involved in and stand ready to ask for more corruption. Your hate has blinded you all! To believe that the Clintons are so innocent is absurb. In stead of some refreshing change, you want to put the same old crap back in power. It's no wonder our government is failing us. Quit blaming our elected officials..... You're the people that keep electing the same ole song and dance.
One day, and I hope it sooner than much later, the true facts of what Bill Clinton did during his administration. And the role his wife played. Will come out. Most likely after most of the principals are dead and buried. Then, like JFK before him, after the P.R. machine is quieted. The American people, if they can still read or care, will be more than a little shocked at what is revealed.
Just one case in point. Who ever does a time motion study of Bill's presidency is going to discover just how much time and effort he really devoted to doing the people's work. It ain't going to be pretty folks.
And if the wife gets into office. It will be business as usual.
As for the comment about the Right wing smear campaign by some of the true believers. Funny isn't how the "smear" turned out to be true all along. And it was on Dick Morris's advice that they managed to not be thrown out of the White House.
Thank God I am old and won't have to see too much more of this 'garbage' in my lifetime.
Who cares what Kerry says.
Bill Clinton's presidency was full of lies and corruption. Let's hope he never darkens the White House door again.
OBAMA WILL NOT GET THE NOMINATION BECAUSE HE WONT WIN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. HE WILL RALL Y THE REPUBLICANS AND ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT A BLACK PRESIDENT.
Kerry has only said one thing thats correct in the years hes been in the spotlight....too bad this happens to be it! It doesn't take a very bright or bold man to say what every conservative has said about the Clintons since they crawled from under a rock in Arkansas...THEY ARE LIARS!!!! He didn't even have the balls to say that. Then again his courage is renowned.....
The Clintons can play their race card very well. However, they should remember that the November general election is fast approaching and the rest of us will either turn Independents or Republicans.
Mr president, keep up the good work- for the Republicans will be there to gain from it.
It's interesting how many folks have been led to comment on this article.
Let's see:
Kerry has turned on his backers, the Clintons, for his 2004 prez bid ~
Kerry turned on his VP partner, Edwards, for his 2004 prez bid ~
Kerry turned on his country after his Viet Nam bid to "do his civic duty"~
What's next, Kerry? The lifetime pension from the Senate?
There are a lot of Clinton staff active on the Internet today! Be careful Hillary has her way of getting back to you.
Kerryis for sure no patriot but here he told the truth. Clinton, regardless of the first name, is synonomous with lying. After so many years of being so wrong about this country and the people in it Kerry is finally right about something.
Let's see, 12 years of the Bush Family..and now 12 years of the Clintons.
Let's try something new people. For real change we need new faces.
Vote Obama 08!
The problem is that the Democrat party is still the racist party of George Wallace and Lester Maddox. They have a obviously qualified black candidate in Barack Obama. Bill Clinton, a admitted admirer of the segregationist former Arkansas Senator J. William Fulbright, is carrying on the "family tradition."
Can someone send this discussion thread to Kerry.
Ivan for Ohio: January 26, 2008 1:33 am ET
It's really amazing to see how gaulible most black America is, even in this century. There is a very good chance to see a black man as President of this great country, but some blacks feel they owe allegiance to Bill Clinton.

Ivan,
You may have 8 years of your life to give away to uncertainty, hardships, family and/or friends away fighting an unjust war, horrible financial conditions, no decent healthcare and the list goes on. For me and my family, we're not and are looking to elect a president who will make living bearable. So, we're not going to lift up our own son even if we know it will hurt not only us but the majority of the people tomorrow. Yes, we made a mistake with George Bush, so now should we take a chance that our "own" will not do worse than he did?
I think this is flawed reasoning.
lies lies lies, cnn is bias
Can someone explain what it means to "abuse the truth?"
BILL CLINTON IS A LIAR.
HILLARY CLINTON IS A LIAR.
END OF DISCUSSION.
I blame the media for twisting everything the Clintons have said. I also blame those "established" democrats for fanning the flames of divisiveness. Nothing Hillary or Pres. Clinton said about Sen. Obama was racial. The media and Congressman Clybryn, etc. were the ones who mischaracterize the "fairytale" and "MLK/LBJ" comments.
The media knows that Pres. Clinton "was" well liked in the black community and that is the sole purpose of them twisting everything the Clintons say and on the other hand, they turn Sen. Obama into the "black" candidate.
BTW: I like both Hillary and Obama and will vote for the one who becomes the nominee. I care about the future, esp. the Supreme Court, the economy and the Iraq war and for those reasons, I WILL NEVER GIVE A REPUBLICAN MY VOTE.
Why are my comments still awaiting moderation you pinko slime ? Ha !! I caught you and your jaundiced view of the world. You libo creep.
Hillary Clinton has no place in the White House. The fact that people are still attached to her and support her makes me a little sick. She, with Bill right alongside, has done nothing in this election but manipulate the truth and try to belittle anyone in her way, generally Future President Obama. Bill, I used to think you were the hope for America, and I stood by you while you were in the White House, but I've now lost all respect for you since you are just your wife's trained pitbull now.
SO, if the Clintons question Obama's record, they are bad, evil, lying, etc.? Kerry, Daschle, and the other "establishment" democrats, should butt out – they are only making it worst by choosing up sides.
AND TO ALL DEMOCRATS WHO SAY, IF OBAMA WINS OR IF HILLARY WINS THE NOMINATION, I AM VOTING FOR A REBUPLICAN – WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN IF AN OPENING COMES UP ON THE SUPREME COURT OR WHAT ABOUT IRAQ, IF A REBULICAN IS THE PRESIDENT IN 2009? THINK ABOUT THAT AND QUIT YOUR CHILDISH TANTRUMS.
I am confused..can someone explain to me exactly what the Clintons have done for the African American community? What is it that you owe these two? Bill fell asleep at an MLK function and they live in all white neighborhood. It's not tracking for me. Bush for all of his failures has appointed more African-Americans to senior level positions than Clinton. Case in point Condeleza Rice, Secretary of State. So what is it with the Clintons..they are panderers.
Mike, I think abuse the truth is Kerry speak..for lying like a rug.
He knows what's in the Barrett Report, i.e., he knows she can't win. He's trying to avoid disaster for his party.
What was it again that the Clintons have done for us (African Americans)?
I find it interesting that Senator Obama gets the support of the educated and informed and Senator Clinton generally gets the less educated demographic.
Parsing liberal-speak:
"Republican-style attack" = what the Clintons do for a living
At least a few are now willing to admit that Bill & Hillary are only after what they want and no price is too high to achieve that.
I liked Bill till he sold me down the river by signing the NAFTA bill and all the Walmart and China deals that screwed the American worker.
KB is right.......CNN is bias....that why talk radio is #1.......CNN can't hold a candle to the sucess of AM Talk radio..........20 million listeners a day........GO AHEAD MODERATOR.........are you going delete this post since it doesn't fit your agenda?
Seriously, someone please explain to me why they vote for obama simply because they have a problem with the "dynasty" issue?
Why are people so obssessed with the last names? Isn't it another form of stupidity?
Abuse the truth...hmmmm... how about "lying"?
This is great ! A loser liar chastising another loser liar. Democrats cannibalizing each other...it really doesn't get any better.
With regard to the comment by "leo", I don't quite get how one can make the sort of comment as was made in the first sentence. I vote Democratic and I don't consider myself belonging to a racist party, nor do any of my other Democratic Party friends. I would think that to be accurate in your discussions, you'd phrase your comments to acknowledge that you're incorrect about the party as a whole.
By the way, should I start calling it the "Republic" Party? I see people like you calling the Democratic Party the "Democrat" Party, so I'm wondering if everyone is now starting to drop the last few words from the ends of the major party names. Just wondering.
A question of law: As I see it, Bill Clinton, our first black president, is now running for a third term as our first female president. Is this legal? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks
TO JANE:
You emoted that beautifully and I fully agree!
I think all you loosers who cant spell loser are total loosers
Who gives a rat's fat fanny what this has been has to say about another has been?
I don't think Bill wants Hill to win. I think he is sabotaging her campaign. I don't think his ego could take 4 years of being made fun of on all the late night shows as being the white house husband.
On the other hand, Bill probably loves the idea of having 4 more years of interns to choose from.
I want a president that will actuayly use are tax money for something useful,and will stop the use of gasoline.
i want a president who will actually use our tax money for something usefull And lower gas prices
A vote for the Clintons would like going to your clothes hamper and putting on soiled clothes to wear for 4 more years. Doesn't work for us!
While Billy thinks all has blown over (pun uniintended) concerning his impeachment, "though they repaired the crack in the dam, everybody will still look to see where it used to be." That's one leopard who has definitely not changed his spots!
Nobody cares what Kerry has to say. Anoyine else remember the elecction in 2006, when his Gaffe had everyone telling him to just go away before the election

>Hey Everybody….Watch the last debate when Obama stated that he, like Hillary >VOTED FOR THE WAR and then later had second thoughts. About a half an hour >before he said he opposed the war from the beginning…Which is it? WHY HAS NO >ONE CAUGHT THAT??? Are you all so mesmerized that you can't hear?
Denise, how could he have voted for the war when he wasn't a Senator at the time of the vote?
Some of you said that since Bill helped Kerry during his last election, he now betrays Bill by endorsing Obama.
Kerry is not returning his political favor by sacrificing the American people. I did not like Kerry before. Now I like him much better.
The future of America is much more important than the political future of the Clintons.
Maybe if Hillary had supported Kerry with more than just words, Kerry would have been President for 7 years now.
Is it possible that Edwards, Kerry, Kennedy and Gore all dislike the Clintons so much they will all support Obama?
Don't be surprised if Gore supports Obama within the next 2 months.
I hate to think that I might have to vote a repub to do my part – AMERICA CAN'T TAKE CLINTON – STOP THIS MADNESS NOW!!!!!!!!
Salida, I agree with you as well. There is some flawed reasoning out there, and I think we all need to become more aware of that "reasoning."
Lets face it, The Clintons have hijacked the Democratic party. I have a hard time believing the average working Democrat actually supports the positions Hillary proposes.........Here is what you would need to support to vote for this women...Raise my taxes, I'm not paying enough........Leave Iraq a mess and just keep blaming Bush........Confiscate Exxon's profits since they are evil corporate pigs in the disguise of re-distribution of wealth, this one is great since nobody apparently in America needs a private sector job, meaning why should we stop with Exxon.........why not Walmart, Merck, Kraft Foods, Microsoft etc.........hell nobody works for these companies anyway.........Poor people provide all the jobs in America.......Rich people never created jobs anyway......LOL......Raise my taxes to pay for health care for the non-working deadbeats, hell we all know they would work to pay for their own if Hillary provides the jobs she lied about creating while a Senator in NY........did I mention Bush is to blame for anything that may go wrong if she were to be elected.........quite honestly this women is so delusional if you listen to he long enough you would think she was running against Bush.......she has a sick fixation with him, I think its jealousy...Over and out for now!
I think that cnn and msmbc are trying to elect the canidate of their choice.instead of letting the people of the USA do it. On all debates that I've seen, you let your canidates run off at the mouth for several mins. Then when one of the others do get a chance to talk, you stop them. Why don't you look at the records of your choice. Like these!

KMccain- missed voting in the 110 congress 248 times of 443 56%
