Comments on: Barr: Obama and McCain the real spoilers http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/26/barr-obama-and-mccain-the-real-spoilers/ All politics, all the time Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:07:36 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jerry http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/05/26/barr-obama-and-mccain-the-real-spoilers/#comment-1142967 Jerry Mon, 26 May 2008 17:16:42 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7343#comment-1142967 It's really sad, but what Bill Clinton is saying is what a lot of us have been saying all along. The national Democratic Party will probably be unable to mend all the fences that have been destroyed and the injustices that have been committed against Senator Hillary Clinton by both Senator Obama and his feel-good campaigners in cahoots with most of the media. In terms of Senator Obama's negative comments regarding Senator Clinton's support for Florida's voters, please don't let his rhetoric stop you. Since we can not even count on some of our own elected officials (U.S. Representatives Kathy Castor and Robert Wexler, and others) for support, we need you to continue to fight our disenfranchisement by King Dean and his feel-good pals.

I could get past Bill's indiscretions while in office but the propaganda BS they are spinning now sickens me. I am a Democrat but won't be for long primarily bcause of this. The self serving Clintons have really outdone themselves. Hillary is losing the race. I am not of the opinion that Obama is winning as much as I am that Clinton is losing it. I doubt I could vote for Clinton in the general election if she is nominated. Her support of the rule regarding the Florida and Michigan primary has now flip flopped as it has with respect to Bosnia and the statement that Clinton and Kennedy were still seeking their nomination in June of the months they ran. Kennedy had JUST ENTERED THE RACE!!!!. Bill had wrapped it up in April. Keep shooting off the non facts Hillary. I am certain it is the cornerstone of your losing campaign not to mention your sinking integrity. I used to love the Clinton's but truly, this rhetoric is ridiculous.

Mon, 26 May 2008 16:56:54 +0000 http://cnnpoliticalticker.wordpress.com/?p=7343#comment-1142932 Obama has a preference for sidestepping difficult issues. It's called voting "present," as opposed to “yea” or “nay.” Example: In 1999, Barack Obama was faced with a difficult vote in IL — to support a bill that would let some juveniles be tried as adults -- where he risked drawing fire from African-Americans – or, in opposing it, jeopardizing his image as “tough on crime.” So in the end, he voted neither for nor against the bill. He voted “present” -- an option he chose 130 times as a state senator. Senator Clinton, on the other hand, consistently votes and puts herself on the line. Unlike Obama, she doesn’t use “present” votes to duck responsibility on serious issues (even though they may be “unpopular”). How convenient and a lot easier it is for Obama just to not show up and be "counted"! But it's NOT more principled, and actually quite calculating, because what better way to hit your opponent than to duck a tough vote where hers was counted, and then dump on her. And let’s not forget that Obama never held a single hearing on his own foreign relations subcommittee – yet he touts his judgment on foreign relations issues as superior to Clinton or McCain!

While Bob Barr has held positions contrary to the Libertarian platform in the past, he has renounced those positions today. He has worked with the Marijuana Policy Project and is squarely in the legalization camp. This weekend, he directly apologized for DOMA and is in favor of same-sex marriage, which is more than we can say for any of the major-party candidates. These changes are what allowed him to earn the nomination--it was no cakewalk. If anything, his support of a FairTax is the least libertarian position he has remaining. What do you pay your reporters for if they can't provide up-to-date information on the candidates? This is the equivalent of reporting that Hillary Clinton is a conservative because she was President of her College Republicans all those years ago. I'd suggest a correction.

We do not kowtow to the elitist hierarchy of any political party. We think for ourselves and make our decisions based on the individual merits, or lack thereof, of each candidate and each issue. We do not jump on bumper sticker slogan bandwagons. We, typically, support the rights of state and local governments over federal mandates and might be described in general terms as "fiscal conservatives, social moderates", though some might lean far left or right on particular issues. To put it simply, we believe in "government of the people, by the people, for the people". Neither leftist socialism nor rightist fascism fit the profile of the government our founding fathers fought to establish and so many of us over the years have fought to preserve.

After all do we want the same situation as Gore? Politicians that go against their constiuencies should be null and void. The American people have voted their choices in their states; superdelegates should vote by their constinuencies' choice not follow the leader or who is ahead. Let's complete this contest. Go by the will of the people, not the corrupt politicians. Hillary, keep fighting! My answer to Bill Clinton's speech:

Cynthia McKinney is the favored candidate for the Green Party nomination, which will occur July 10th-13th in Chicago. McKinney has been a strong opponent of the war and the erosion of civil liberties and would make an excellent president. Please cover her candidacy and the Green nomination as well. With a strong conservative Libertarian candidate and a stronger progressive Green candidate, anyone who speaks of "spoilers" is just full of it. Vote for whichever candidate truly represents you and reflects your own positions. This is the year of third party! Vote Green '08!
