vote for change vote, for a democrat — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:30:13 +0000

Candidates that are supported my Move On often lose, unfortunately. Its a good group but some of their ads are over the top. Did you see the General Betrays Us ad? I am sure the Republicans will use that one as fodder against Obama if he wins. They managed to use John Kerry's war hero credentials against him so they will stop at nothing.

Has anyone every considered the MANY personalities Hillary Clinton can and has portrayed? Which Hillary will go to the white house? At first she was arrogant and forceful; then she lost and became tearful and nice, while Bill carried the arrogance; then she won and became oh so loving and caring. I just don't think she will be the true president if elected. I think Bill will be running the show.

If you watched the LA debates, it is clear both Obama and Hilary have similar plans for their presidency. But whereas inspires me with a new vision for America that is true to the soul and spirit of our founding fathers, Hilary promises me another 8 years of fighting the GOP and barely getting anything done. Obama gets my vote.

I'm sick and tired of the same old garbage the Clintons have brought into the campaign. For the sake of the country and the world I do hope Obama wins. But this is politics. Usually the person who should win never does. Look at one winner GW Bush and the losers Al Gore and John Kerry.

People think..........
Why is the Media and Republicans giving Obama a free ride and primarily giving negative reviews of Clinton? The want to do what they can to make sure Obama get the nomination.

Why???? Perhaps it is because after the Media and Republicans finishes with him if he gets the nomination, he won't have a prayer of winning. This will only hurt the Democratic party. There is no doubt in my mind that the media and the republicans have a stack of dirt on him that they are waiting to show the country if he is the nominee.

This man talks about change but what has he done in his campaign to show that he is about change? NADA! Because I haven't seen a thing! And lately, it seems he is becoming a little arrogant.

If Clinton gets the nomination, I doubt she would win if Obama is on her ticket for VP.
It is my sincere hope that Clinton get the nomination and Obama will be a distant memory. I am getting sick of this man, he is becoming so annoying!!

Come on Hillary...............YOU GOTTA WIN!!

Barack Obama will break many hearts this year when people start to see that he just isn't capable of being President. He absolutely has the best intentions and I believe he *wants* to do good things, I just know that he will be eaten alive if he ever wins the office. And I'm not saying he's weak–just naive. It won't be Republicans who tear him down, either; the GOP will lose seats in the House and Senate this year. No, it will be Obama's fellow Democrats who make him an ineffective and unsubstantial leader. (And as for fellow world leaders... oh boy are they going to walk all over him!)

I find it to be frustrating to see that Obama keeps racking up the endorsements, and yet Hillary is leading in the polls. I suspect that a lot of people are voting for Hillary just because she's a woman. Doesn't anyone remember that Bill Clinton was impeached for lying under oath? What ever happened to integrity? When Vince Foster committed suicide, he left a note saying he didn't know how he could defend Hillary! (Well document fact from "Frontline"). No one is talking about Hillary's dirty business deals. Why not?

I am a 30-year old man living in Canada who has been closely following the US primaries. I also have lots of friends, young and old; of various ethnicities and beliefs, all around the world whose eyes are fixated on the wind of change that is blowing across America at this time. That wind of change in America carries within its wings a seed of hope not just for America, but for nations around the world. I want my friends in the US to know that the outcome of this election will resonate beyond the shores of their land. Your choice has the potential to reshape the world in a powerful and positive way and elevate the US again to its rightful place in world leadership. For the first time in my life, I can see all around me, foreigners taking a keen interest to US politics like never before. One reason emerges above all – BARACK OBAMA. It is not just about his eloquency. There is something about his soul that is so real, so able to reach across the many divides. Please America, don't lose this opportunity to get it right on day one.

Please read "THE HILLARY PROJECT" There are so many articles about both Clinton's and you must read them to know the real Clinton's.

We cannot afford any more Clinton's in office.

Isn't 28 years of Bush/Clinton enough for our country. I think so

Then Obama has the playground bully on his side? Their tactics are reminiscent of the school bully that picks on those that are a little different or un-usually challenged; whether or not the target has any say in their uniqueness. I don’t see how their support will help Obama, unless of course they have an interest in getting some of what is in our pockets. It would be very sad to see Obama stoop to accept anything from MoveOn or promise anything to them.

First I agree with Jose E. Guzzardi, endorsing in the primary is wrong. We need a united democratic front not more splintering within th party. Especially after the last 8 years.

Second, I too removed myself from moveon.org mailing I think they should not have endorsed in the primary and furthermore, they've done very little to effect any change in any election or cause.

Hillary has a lot of experience as a lawyer for big corporations.
Hillary has a lot of experience as First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of D.C.
Hillary has a little experience doing charity and legal aid.
Hillary has a little experience as a US senator.

Hillary will get slammed by republicans, they are salivating at the thought of her being the nominee. Polls show McCain will route her in a general election.

Obama has a lot of experience as a lawyer helping the poor and disadvantaged. Obama has a lot of experience as a professor and teacher of growing minds. Obama has a lot of experience as a Senator in Illinois.
Obama has a little experience as a US senator.

Obama isin't running on his wifes credientials, he's running on his own.

Obama will destroy the republicans in the general election. The Republicans are afraid, and those that aren't will cross over and vote Obama. The polls show Obama routing the republicans in the general Election.

I am sick and tired of people touting Hillary Clinton's so-called experience over Obama. If people will tell themselves the truth, they will realize that America needs CHANGE and NOW! The person for that change is OBAMA. Let us not ride our country into distruction with the BUSINESS-AS-USUAL politician. OBAMA is a breath of fresh air. So, for the love of USA, please VOTE OBAMA for president.

I support Obama and I've donated to him not because I don't like Hillary, she would still get my vote in a general and I don't support him because hes more inspiring (though he is).

The reason I support Barack Obama is because he has as I see it the best policies and he has the best chances of winning in a general election. Look at both of them and make up your mind, not based upon what you've heard about them.

Do what they've both said..do what you believe is best for the country.

Why would anyone stop supporting moveon just because they endorsed Obama?? The numbers speak for themselves... Hillary is a smart woman but is just as malicious and back stabbing as the republicans. We need something different. Just because young people follow Obama does not mean that we are "wide eyed and without worldly knowledge". We are smart enough to know that he stands by what he says without wavering.

Moveon writes "In 2002 and 2003, MoveOn.org Civic Action conducted a campaign to stop the Iraq war, as well as campaigns to keep the federal courts moderate, support campaign finance reform, oppose the repeal of the estate tax, and reduce America’s dependence on oil." Wow, Real Change. Where have I heard that?

And Hillary you ask where she would be well I believe she was working on things like healthcare before you even knew her name so check your facts do you know what your saying.

I am tired of seeing statements like "I am voting for Hillary because it is time for a women to be president". These statements are just plainly ignorant and blatently stupid. Support your candidate for well informed, lucid and well researched reasons. Don't be idiotic enough to vote blindly just because of race or sex. How stupid does it sound to say "I am voting for McCain because he is a man!" Yeah, well that is how stupid you sound for supporting Clinton solely because she is a women. I know it hurts, but please, think. Lastly, look up Hillary's "experience". Many years working at a law firm in Arkansas representing large companies and coorporations. Where is all the "35 years policy making experience" coming from? Her failed attempt under her husband to reform health care in the 90's? There is some good experience to vote for. Once again, people, think and inform yourselves...

You know, its funny that when you see an article reporting the endorsement of Obama or something showing that Obama is giving Hilary a run for her money, all you see in response is either Obama supporters voicing their support or Hilary supporters bashing and name calling. That just goes to show how "grown up" the grown ups are that are voting for her.

This is bad news for Obama in the general election. The Republicans will pound him with this, along with Teddy's endorsement and his most recent title as the #1 most liberal Senator in the Senate. Afterall they used the same thing against Kerry. By the way, true Democrats know that Gore won in 2000, so the Clintons didn't cost him anything. What did make it a struggle was the media's unquestioning bias for Bush. The guy who lacked substance, but supposedly had ideas. How is that working out for us?

Shame. Shame. Shame on Moveon.org for their endorsement. When the time came for a vote on a resolution in the U.S. Senate against Moveon.org with their controversial ad, Hillary Clinton stood with them and voted against it. Obama voted present. Hmm. This is an example, a clear example, of how they pay back those that come to their side in their hour of need.

A couple of points–

(in response to Anton) MoveOn never endorsed Edwards. MoveOn has never endorsed anyone in the primaries until now. Maybe they would have chosen him, but it's irrelevant now. Point is that Obama was not their second choice.

While it's true that there was no "neither" option on the MoveOn ballot, they had a separate vote a couple of days before the endorsement vote to ask members whether they wished to endorse anyone at all. People who support neither Obama nor Clinton had their chance to vote not to endorse anyone.

For those who are MoveOn members and now vow to stop supporting them, I ask one question - do you believe in the democratic process or not? At least MoveOn asks their members to vote on something like this, rather than simply imposing the choice of the organization's leaders.

MoveOn.org was wrong in endorsing a candidate in the primaries. Less than 1% of its "over 3 millon members" voted in the online "primaries" and this decision will divide their own base. I have personally unsubscribed from MoveOn, and know many peope that have done the same. Too bad MoveOn is not using its resources and power to fight against the Republicans and bring Democrats together... too much for a "change!"

As I posted on another thread, a new national poll just reported on Potus '08 XM radio has Obama handily beating either McCain or Romney, the two Repub front-runners. Same poll has Hillary barely beating Romney and losing by a good bit to McCain. Makes sense, since many, many independents and moderate Republicans will vote for McCain over Clinton if Obama is not an option.

Hillary Clinton's nomination is the only hope for the Republican party to hang on to the White House.
