Politics-How Low Can One Candidate Go?

She was booed during a speech over the weekend. Pretty amazing for the preumptive nominee and heir apparent.

Amen Nanci.

Obama had rather unique parents. Both of whom probably pushed him at a early age to reach for the stars. Why be a cowboy when you can be President of the United States?

Every child want to be President when they grow up. What did they expect him to say? Did they expect him to say that he wanted to be a drug dealer when he grew up?

. . .as far as polls, I am suspect of them, and the source of the polls. Only the most reliable ones shall do. I took a poll a few months ago where Edwards and Obama were not even included as choices???????

Of course Hillary won!!!!! Ha ha ha ha. Oh boy. So, check the pollster, People!

Ummm.... Yeah.... *sigh* When I was five, I wanted to be a marsupial.... JK, I wanted to be a doctor. But, when I was 14, I wanted to be a Madame. When I was 18, I wanted to be an athletic trainer. When I was 18.5, I wanted to be an English teacher.

I don't know what the big deal is. So what if he wanted to be President when he was 5? I don't know why she is blowing it out of proportion. But, I guess it's all part of the game.

Lori, could you please come to my 47 Things for Doyle article, Joseph would like to talk to you, quickly.

You're MORE THAN WELCOME to come too, Julie..........

This is low?!? Just pay attention to the Repubes.

Good thing I'm not planning on running for office. I have a problem keeping my facial muscles in neutral. When I think someone's an idiot, it shows.

I wanted to be president when I was five or six or so. A neighbor boy told I couldn't, because I was a girl. After I clocked the little snot, he told me that I shouldn't hit, because I was a girl. So I clocked him again.

Yet I'm surprisingly diplomatic.

Yeah it might be nice to have a woman for president. Too bad one isn't running this time. J.C. You run I'll vote for you.

Austin, What the _-_--_ is a Comment Speedway?

Anyone who WANTS to be president, I'm not convinced I want THEM to be president.

thank you for sharing this!

"Senator Obama wrote a paper in kindergarten titled "When I Grow Up I Want to be President"."

HUH???? If Obama actually wrote a paper in kindergarten, then he's probably a genius and he's my man. I'm sick of the total stupidity sitting in the oval office now.

Sheryl I am sure he had help....my son did the same type of thing but he wanted to be a race car driver.

Gee, Carol, that synopsis sounds exactly what has been happening the last 7 years under Georgie boy.

You wait till the real election , the Dems could run JC himself and they would attack him with their usual pile of lies and innuendos .(see above)

Don't like Hill vote for John Edwards .

When I was 5 I announced that I wanted to be a Certified Public Accountant. I'd seen a TV program that talked about the desperate need for CPAs. In the early 50s there was a lot more time to fill than there was content. One of my faves was "Industry on Parade." Good stuff.

After that I didn't have a clue about what I wanted to be when I grew up until I was 45. I'm thinking that maybe it wasn't the best choice.

Rocco how did you get I was slamming him? If anything I am making fun of Hillary.

Hey Nippy

Oh, he is so devious!

Lyndon I beg to differ.....Romney V Obama

Lyndon what is THAT about?

Did you step on her toes Lyndon ??

That is my guess Don.

I feel that Hillary Clinton will not win the White House if nominated by the Dems, Hillary may win the blue states but with her divisive nature lose the general election. People love her or hate her, she wil turn off a lot of voters. Obama has a chance.

Brian I have to agree with you. I was open minded when it came to Hillary at the beginning but now....there has just been too many things that make me turn away from her.

People don't seem to like Hillary (i.m.o because the republicans hated her because they hated the clinton's in general, and got democrats thinking of her negatively before they knew the first thing about her--I know kids younger than me (18) and hate her even they haven't seen her and don't know jack about politics), but the two other choices seem to be Obama and Edwards. Let's see how they stack up:

1) Obama--never impressed me personally in the debates, never really had anything new to offer. And then I found out that he supports coal liquification but was against drilling in ANWAR, which doesn't make sense as coal liquification is far worse environmentally, meaning got down on his knees to the coal lobby, or he's stupid, either or.

2) Edwards-- Closet commie (that coming from a democrat). Is really into the whole class warfare buisness, and really has shown an almost irrational hatred for rich people. Would probably drive the economy into the ground. Seems to be anti-bush for the sake of being anti-bush, not because it's good policy.

Personally, I'd vote for McCain, but Hillary would be my second choice. She's clearly better (in terms of running our country) than any of the repulbicans bar McCain, and IMO better than any of the other democratic candidates for the reasons above.

Daniel I am sure Hillary would be fine if you dont mind censorship, lies and manipulation...in other words Bush with breasts and better hair.

Lori:
Censorship, lies, manipulation? Well, I guess that's better than Edwards--at least with a republican president, one could hope that they wouldn't mess around with the country enough to send it to the gutter. Better than Obama, unless you like a flaky talking suit.

Daniel I am not sure why you think Edwards harbors communist ideals? Maybe Socialist but I dont see any of the candidates being commies.

I exagerate of course calling edwards a commie, but he's really into the whole class war idea, talks a lot about "taking people's profits away" and "obscene profits", etc. Personally, I see the free market as one tool to make progress in this country, along with direct government influence and governement regulation, but Edwards clearly sees the market as an enemy. The oppicite is true of a great deal with republicans, who say that the market is always the best way to solve problems and that the government doing anything is inneffective, which is equally wrong. I think it's irresponsible to discount any means of progress we have.
