The Hillary Clinton Effect

Hillary and Bill were "handled"? Looks to me like they gave Barack nothing but hugs and kisses from the podium. Who could ask for more from the Clintons?

Now the challenge is to keep crazy women from jumping off the boat into the chilly shark-infested water to chase after the female VP that McCain will put on his ticket as chump bait.

McCain - that man whom everyone seems to like so much, that media darling, why don't people actually remember he was a member of the Keating Five in 1995? Ethics - he has none. For FACTS of how he treated his constituents - read this from his hometown newspaper and decide whether you want this man with this documented history as your president. Personally, I'm tired of bullies.

However, Hillary and Obama - show me FACTS - especially about Obama - none of this silly nonsense "I don't like his name" - his mother gave that to him when he was born, geez. Grow up people. We are a great country - at least we used to be.

If you really want the non-partisan truth check out either one or both of these two sites:

politifact.com

snopes.com

Those of you that claim you know the truth... check it out and see if you really do. The site lists all its sources.

I'm sure though that the ones that find their "truth" was wrong will find ways to say these sites are bogus. They are not bogus and they are non-partisan.

Divide and conquer tactics at play again... GOP so desperate they cling to sarcasm and divisiveness. I quote the author: "'handling' of Bill and Hillary has been a significant distraction for the Obama team." Did I miss something? They are both Democrats right? The GOP has devastated our country fiscally, millitarily, and morally... have they not? I think this should be called "Manufactured Division." Does anyone remember when the GOP funded the R. Nader campaign? I do. The Republicans are so devoid of moral backbone that they rely on Machiavellian(Rovian?) tactics. McCain is spending his money on creating a false gap between the diverse group of people whom all hate what the GOP/NEOCONs have done to our country. Can the authors and editors of our media please stop being GOP mouthpieces? Non-biased does not mean illogical.
