The Clintons show all the signs of pathological liars. First, misrepresent the truth in a subtle way while showing strong emotions - everyone with emotional empathic capabilities will connect with these emotions, and while doing so, will give less attention to reason. If this doesn't work, lie harder. If this doesn't work, accuse your opponent of lying, and again show strong emotional 'hurted' feelings. If that still doesn't work (it almost always does), destroy your opponent.

It is sad that people do not want to see the truth of how a person votes. I think they just want to use a smoke screen to allow them to cover up any reality checks. If you read the voting record, you will find that what was said is true and we need to take that information into account for our decisions.

Ecampforts has it right. The Clintons distort and twist every little thing they think will help them. As was said on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, the one person who can unite the Republican party is Hillary.
They are praying she is the Democratic nominee. They are scared of Obama. Only he can pull in Independents and Republicans. If its Hillary the Dems are doomed

OBAMA! OBAMA!

Posted by: p_boy | January 22, 2008 7:18 PM

absolutelly, the dems wil be doomed on general election if hillary gets the nomination, but for some of us undecided or independents lets hope dems nominate obama, and lets see the true test of politics, and hopefully macain gets the rep nomination.
Just because clinton was comsidered a good president, does not mean hillary can, she is too spoiled to be the next US president.

P-Boy your blog sums up the problem with the case for Obama - nothing but hot air and no substance!

Go Hillary!

I don't think this country is ready for a continuation of the bush-clinton dynasty. My suggestion is that all you cali repubs and independs come over the dem side and vote for obama at least in the primaries. Then, vote your true conscience in the generals.

When will Obama start telling the truth about Rezko? He's taken contributions from this slumlord for years, even after Rezko was indicted. Only last weekend did Obama return $41,000. And Rezko helped Obama buy the house he's living in now, by agreeing to buy the plot next door as a personal favor. Obama has known for years how corrupt this guy is. For Obama to say he only did five hours work for Rezko is avoiding an awful lot of the facts.

I'm learning so much on the race to the White House. I just read an article about Bill Clinton's new girlfriend Belinda Stronach. Belinda is beautiful, better looking than Monica. I didn't know Hillary was on the Board of Directors of Wal-mart. I'm changing my vote to Senator Obama.

Obama is a lier, empty talker and not a doer
- community organizer is not good
preparation for US president.
Obama will be a subject of heavy swiftboating
from republicans. Obama's supporters behave
crazy lately, because they cannot handle the
truth and they cannot accept the fact their
candidate is loosing.
Obama suddenly lost his glow and whining
because he does not know how to be a looser.

wow.

first off, I'd an Edwards supporter.

here we have some really interesting demographic data, but the Obama supporters start right in attacking Clinton--and Clinton supporters respond in kind. (Or are they really supporters of the candiates? I mean, if I was Karl Rove, I'd be hiring people to do exactly what we see above.)

If they really are Obama supporters, their efforts are counter-productive. An undecided voter who knows little or nothing about Obama is going to look at this kind of thing, and wonder why he is attracting these kinds of people. Democrats are pretty much inured to attacks on the Clintons -- and the kind of attacks coming from these ostensible Obama supporters sound just like the kind of thing we heard from the right wing noise machine for years. This simply turns Democrats off -- and as a result, Obama will be less likely to get the vote of these Democrs.

Clinton was the president of the Young Republicans Club in college and on the board of Wall Mart as a corp. lawyer. Look at her eyes looking down at the speeches she reads.

What else? She voted for the war.

Obama is the only hope for us. If not, get ready for 4 years of McCain and 100 years of war in Iraq.

One my my chief reasons for supporting Hillary for President is that she has a policy for universal health care. I think Obama is a nice guy but he does not have a universal health care policy. He has a health care for children policy. Health care is just like Social Security, if everyone doesn't contribute. It won't work.
It's time the US join the other industrialized countries of the world and cover all its citizens with health care.
