    Positives:

    - it has a hot assistant (Huma?)

    - it doesn't cry unless absolutely necessary

    - it's blood is probably less caustic than Medusa's

    - it might in fact be a fellow creation of God (not entirely sure)

    - it's rat-like visage can't make you vomit if you have an empty stomach

    Oh man, this is an easy one.

    She's got experience. He doesn't.

    Of course, the only thing people are thinking about now is how well Obama reads from a teleprompter. They might just regret that in the future...

    Except that he has as much elected experience as she does.

    I love the "experience" argument coming from Bush supporters.

    That is just ****ing hilarious.

    I guess you are voting for Obama then, right?

    Either Hillary or Obama would make a great President. I do not see one being able to accomplish more than the other in office.

    A plus for Obama is that he gives great speeches.

    A negative for Hillary is that the right wingnuts are wildly hateful of her. I don't think that would hinder her in getting things done. It is just that the tone in DC would be decidedly bitter.

    Are you suggesting Hillary can not?

    Or is this another brain-dead, irrelevant Bush comparison?

    It's relevant in that you supported what you now lamblast.

    It makes you look like a desperate idiot. Not that that's difficult or anything.

    When it's the only trick to a one-trick pony, then unfortunately for Obama's case it makes it totally different. Sorry

    Don't kid yourself. If the nominee is Obama, he'll be subject to the same thing. It's what they do.

    I WASN'T a Hillary fan until the full-blown Obama hoopla kicked in. To me, Hillary stands for things she believes in, and is often far more courageous than her opportunistic political opponents, in particular Obama who flip-flops on many issues. She does not fudge up her personal story like you know who. Hillary also does not tend to pretend somebody she is not, unlike Obama who says one thing and does the other.

    While I am at it, Trader_Jorge and bigtexxx have much more integrity than all the delusional Obama nutjobs combined on this board.

    Sorry but being angry because somebody who works for Obama now USED to work for lobbying firm two years ago, doesn't really make Obama a hypocrite.

    you mean the hillary that voted for war before she voted against it and is now against it even though she voted for bush on iran. that hillary stands for what she believes in?

    there are causes that I'm sure hillary are firm on, but let's not act like she hasn't flipped flopped for some political gain.

    as far as fudging up personal stories, you've criticized obama for speaking well of his father, yet hillary is probably married to the most skirt chasing president eva, and you have nothing to say about her fudging personal stories.

    since you respect him so much I'll pull a page from his text book.

    NO CRED

    The non-partisan Public Citizen group identifies 10 lobbyist bundlers working for Obama.

    Even if the bundlers are not currently registered federally, they are still doing the exact same thing they have been doing -- lobbying. As far as I know, there is no federal law that prohibits non-officially registered lobbyists from lobbying. In other words, it's not a felony not to register to be a lobbyist. Many of those bundlers are on Obama's payroll. Skirting around technicality absolves absolutely nothing of Obama's hypocrisy. In addition, did Obama disavow state-registered lobbyists? I don't even have to mention the name of Tony Antoine Rezko, y'all know.

    tj is so transparent. He knows that Obama is a much tougher match up for McCain, or any of the Republican nominees, and that's the only reason for favoring Hillary over him. He's so afraid of Obama, that his fear has actually just made him post a positive comment about the Hildebeast. Hilarious.

    I guarantee you if Hillary get's the nomination, it will be less than 10 minutes before he is on here crowing about how the Democrats blew it by going with her instead of Obama.

    Hillary, Obama and McCain are equally bad.

    They will all promise the moon and deliver more debt, war and federalization.

    What is the biggest problem facing us? Debt- Has any candidate given a plan for reducing the borrowing? Will they? NO

    Why are we at war with terror? Terror is a tactic not an enemy. Enemies are people. You can be at war with Irish Protestants, Saudi Shia, and Sudanese Marxists, but being at war against terror is like being at war against Fighter Bombers. If we are at war against people who use the tactic of terror then we should not be using the military because they fight armies not terrorists. Intelligence agencies are designed to fight terrorists. Being pro-war right now with regard to terrorism doesnot make sense.

    Federalization is the centralization of power and control over individual lives by the federal government. Federalization must eventually abuse individual liberty, freedom and prosperity because it takes away the choice and the responsibility of the citizen.

    There is no argument FOR Hillary or the rest for that matter, if the question is will they really benefit America.

    When was the last time a candidate solved the national problems they said they would solve in the campaign speeches? Please don't be fooled by when someone tells you what the problem is and tells you they have a plan to fix it.

    They don't.

    Great post!

    According to David Walker, the US Comptroller General (originally appointed by Clinton, reappointed by Bush), in 2030, interest on the National Debt will be 100% of Federal Revenue.
