Comments on: Blitzer: With Bush before the State of the Union http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/28/blitzer-with-bush-before-the-state-of-the-union/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: cecimorr http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/01/28/blitzer-with-bush-before-the-state-of-the-union/#comment-476692 cecimorr Wed, 06 Feb 2008 21:53:10 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=4809#comment-476692 Why are people so stuck on hating McCain, so much sour grapes, be positive. Would they rather have a Democrat for president. Romney will not get the nomination no matter what he does. The American people are speaking with their votes. McCain will get the presidency. As for me and my family it has come down to these issues which we are voting for. Pro-Life, the war, the economy and fair immigration reform. The majority of the people I believe, will look at these issues in order to make their choice. There are too many people that have ties to family that are undocumented, who are 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th generation American Citizens, these citizens are voting age, and they have empathy for those who are undocumented. many Rep. believe that illegal immigration shoud be curved. The borders should be reinforced and protected on the North and South, but remember it was the US, who encouraged this modern day human tragedy, by our insatiable apetite for cheap labor and addictions to drugs. illegal activities have been encouraged by the almighty American dollar. The undocumented are extreemly poor and only want a better life for thier families. Many have been abused and killed, and if they make it, they are hard workers, good citizens, and Christians. If any candidate states, that they will deport 12M. is a liar, because that cannot happen. But if the new laws are obyed and the borders really rinforced, illegal immigration can be curved. There has to be a fair and equitable way of fixing this problem. We have three choices, Hillary, OBama and McCain, and I am sure that McCain, can win either one. Regarding the economy, I would rather have McCain take care of my money than Romney who has spent 50mil. on this campaign and has little reture for his bucks. But look at McCain, started with hardly any money, traveled in taxi carried his own bags. and had no entourage yet he stayed humble and picked up his campaign by the boot straps and now is going to be the president of the USA, I truly admire this MAN, He has more gumption in his little finger than most men have anywhere.

All of you seem to be giving Senator Obama a free ride in all this. And to tell the truth it's very dissapointing, especially for someone my age that is studying politics and journalism. I have to say that I strongly admire Senator Obama, but I don't see what the big fuzz is all about and I honestly think my genaration is naive and we are not looking at the real issues that impact our lives...Yes, you can inspire all day but in the end words don't translate into actions. So, I believe you have to look at the record and I strongly BELIEVE that Senator Clinton is the best candidate overall and she truly has been an agent of change. And when it comes to CNN moderators and "political analysts" its just biased...I think I could do a better job than the Biased "professionals" CNN seems to have put on the air. For example, look at Bill Schneider--He is a disgrace. I have always looked upon him for neutral and unbiased journalism, but when it comes to reporting on the 2008 presidency he should simply be removed from reporting this specific issue--it is easy to see where his alliance lies and its definetely not in neutrality. And to you Wolfe, Thanks for the great job that you do but please urge the bosses and the journalists at CNN to do better and more neutral reporting!!!

I am on Medical Disability, yet I had to wait two years to get Medical Coverage. I want to know how the Medicare Disability Program can withhold medical coverage for someone who is disabled? Medical Disability speaks for itself. If you are deemed medically disabled, then it only stands to reason that you will be seeing doctors, Hospitalizations, Medications,etc. I think they need to start at their own door step first. My disability began in 2005, yet I had to wait to have a very necessary surgery for 2yrs, because they didn't deem it a Medical Emergency. They meaning non-medical people.

This is getting more and more disturbing. I am really starting to believe the network is against Hillary because she is a female and I am personally taking offense. Do Something! I'm not asking for favor for either candidate -- just equal positive and equal negative treatment so the voters can fairly make up their mind.

But the reporting that you are doing, along with contributors Jack Cafferty and Gloria Borgia, have in mind resorted to tabloid journalism. Let me make clear first and foremost, I am an Independent. All I see is momentum building media coverage by CNN of Barak Obama and negative and often times insulting and derogatory coverage of Hillary Clinton most especially by Jack and Gloria. I am personally offended that CNN would allow these two individuals to express what is clearly their distain for the Senator and worse, the fact that you allow that behavior in the Situation Room. I would never in a million years thought that CNN would have gone down this road. After over 12 years, I have officially tuned out CNN and started looking for a more unbiased news outlet. I find that really sad that the one news network that I considered the most reputable, has officially decided that ratings and going along with MUCH less reputable news stations namely FOX, is more important then reporting at an unbiased level. I know this sounds like I am ranting, but I have to tell you that I dont what makes me angrier. The fact that I can no longer in good conscious watch CNN, or the fact that "the most trusted name in news" has resorted to tabloid journalism in the hopes of higher ratings. Guess they are one in the same. Regretfully yours, Michael Wolf –

He has little regard for the common man.....that is why his support level has been sitting around 30% for the past three years. You can't fool all of the people all the time. Too bad our children will be the ones paying for it (look at the annual deficit and national debt in 2000 compared to today. It's sickening.) Overall Bush did a poor job both in establishing policy and reacting to events both global and domestic. He did not live up to his promises and was certainly not a "uniter".

Check prices in Europe, then complain. 6) Porous U.S. Borders Yes, they were sealed tighter than a drum before 2000. 7) Disastrious and Irrelevant War In Iraq Not for long 8) Every American Child Left Behind in Education My kids are doing pretty good these last 7 years. 9) Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans..enough said.

If it was so good prior to Bush, we wouldn't be where we are today.

3) Failed Domestic Policy
In what ways?

4) Struggling Economy
Where have you been for 7 years

5) U.S. Dollar Weaker than Euro
This is cyclical too, and will change for the better. Check prices in Europe, then complain.

6) Porous U.S. Borders
Yes, they were sealed tighter than a drum before 2000.

7) Disastrious and Irrelevant War In Iraq
Not for long

8) Every American Child Left Behind in Education
My kids are doing pretty good these last 7 years.

9) Hurricane Katrina and New Orleans..enough said.

After listening to this drivel, I am putting all of my hope with the Democratic party. I am totally convinced we need a candidate that not only has a plan to repair the damage done to the country and we the people over the last 7 years, but someone with the intestinal fortitude to see that these things get done. While Senator Obama talks of hope, I have no confidence that he can deliver on his message. He has the backing of some very powerful senators, yes, but does that backing come with strings attached? Ted Kennedy is nothing if not old politics. (And as a side note, Ted Kennedy opposed a wind farm in the vicinity of the family compound because it would ruin the view, even though it would have been 5 miles away!). Hillary also has senatorial support, again without strings? I don't think so. Both of these candidates represent the same old Washington. If people in this country are really interested in change, then I would recommend you take a look at John Edwards and his plan for America. He has been out of Washington for the last 4 years, does not accept funds from lobbyists or PACs, and is not beholden to anyone, except his commitment to the American people. I believe he is the only candidate that can repair the damage done to this country and our people. Please do the research and vote for John Edwards.
