Why Hillary's staying in: she doesn't think the black guy can win. from daily kos video of interview Man, what a bitch. So, her and Bill spend years speaking out against racisim and supporting civil rights, and now suddely she'll turn around and say 'hey, no one will vote for a black man.' Will some people not vote for Obama because he's black? Of course. But, franky, those people don't usually vote democrat anyway. The idea that Hillary will argue he's unelectable because he's black is appalling. If this is indeed her plan, it has to be the worst thing she's ever done.

Someone has a 'I'm here for Ashley' sign. Brilliant.

It depends. Hillary's more of a fighter. You throw mud at her, she'll throw way more back. And she does have a lead in working class voters who are all miss the Clinton golden age and see this as a way to get Bill back in the white house.

Ron Paul was basically pointing all this out, in debate after debate, and, while he obviously got through to some people, most republicans just wrote him off as a kook. Can America really afford to take 1 or 2 decades to figure out the truth about republicans? The US will probably be a police state by then.

A lot of voters are pretty stupid though.

I can see Punk moving to raw and getting Hardy's spot. It's weird: he benefited from Morrison going down from drugs and he probably wouldn't have won MITB if it hadn't been for for Hardy getting suspended. Just say no, kids.

Punk is not going to go after the ECW title. I think even in kayfabe the guys know it's basically useless, or at least, not nearly as important as the other world titles.

I read it's set mainly during the 70s and 80s and ends just as Bush is going to war in Iraq. It's said to deal with the troubled relationship between father and son, which is weird because I didn't even know they had a bad reltionship. I suppose the elder Bush might be pissed because his son has now messed up his legacy as well.

There's a big difference between messing up your marraige or becomg a drug addict, and killing people. There was little difference, in character terms, between Benoit the man, and Benoit who we saw on tv every week. Part of the appeal of him on screen is that it so heavily drawn from who he was in real life.

What's with all the hazing stories? I never heard him refered to him similar terms as JBL or Holly. I dodn't know he had a reputation as bully in wwe.

I have to wonder how Nancy's family would feel about this. The man who killed their daughter and grandson getting praised and cheered by thousands of people? I know I'd be unhappy. And, really, when faced with a dead mother and child, what does the fact he was a great wrestler matter? He gave up any right to be honoured the weekend he killed them.

I don't know how Mccain, a guy who himself fought in an unwinnable war, can say this is working. You can't ever outlast insurgents in their own country.

I'd urge everyone to watch the last interview Hilary did on fox news with Greta von susteren. She made it clear she was prefectly willing to take it to the convetion (those were the exact words). Even Tucker Carlson, of all people, seemed shocked by that and said 'what can you do with someone like that?"

http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_al...will_be_sto.htm One thing I'll say about the republicans, is that if they had a situtation like this, you know they would have basically ordered the lesser candidate out weeks ago because it was damaging their chances in the GE. Especially if the candidate in question had endorsed a rival opponent like Hillary did. The democrats are being way too nice about this.

Despite his good work, I think Bill's race baiting tactics in this election have been appalling and he's really went down in my estimation. It's not that I think Bill is racist. But I think him and Hillary know other people are and they've been willing to exploit that and use it against Obama. And that's actually way worse. He's completly screwed up his elder statesman position in the democratics as well, in my opinion.

Look at Bill Clinton though: he had a great legacy (Lewinsky aside) before and after his presidancy and has now blown it with his behaviour in the last few months. Needless to say, the days of him being considered the first black president are long gone. I remember reading Jimmy Carter got involved in the Genarlow Wilson controversy and Nixon and Ford went on to become the sole voices of sanity in the republican party. Maybe it is best if Bush goes to Africa for a while. I don't care if he's cosying up to him now, John Mccain will want nothing to do with him if he does get elected and I can't think the rest of the party have much love for him either.

The film is real. Stone has talked about it in interviews. Anyway, I'm just waiting for the inevitable Hillary movie. Every actress over 40 is going to want it since it has oscar written all over it.

Obama's going after Mccain again. Which is good, since I think the best thing he can do is ignore Hllary Huckabee and pretend that she's insignificant. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/03/obama-b... March 26, 2008 3:12 PM ABC News' Sunlen Miller Reports: Revving up for what his campaign is calling a "major" speech on the economy tomorrow, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., blasted the economic plan of presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. At his first campaign event after a short family vacation in the US Virgin Islands, Obama hit at McCain's economic speech Tuesday, and noted, as he often does on the stump, that McCain once joked that the economy is not his strong suit. “John McCain has admitted he doesn't understand the economy as well as he should. Yesterday he proved it in a speech he gave on the housing crisis.” Obama told a town hall audience Wednesday in Greensboro, North Carolina. "According to John McCain he said the best way for us to address the fact that millions of Americans are losing their homes is to just sit back and watch it happen. In his entire speech yesterday he offered not one policy, not one idea, not one bit of relief for the nearly thirty five thousand north Carolinians who were forced to foreclose on their dream in the last few months. Not one, not one single idea or a single policy prescription.” Obama cast McCain as more of the same, arguing Americans don’t need a third terms of the Bush administration. As president, Obama said he will address the situation by reworking existing subprime loans into affordable long-term fixed loans, creating a foreclosure prevention fund, and cracking down on mortgage fraud and predatory lenders. “John McCain may call helping struggling homeowners pandering, but I don’t think the families in North Carolina who are losing their homes would see it that way,” Obama said, referring to McCain's comment yesterday that he "will not play election year politics with the housing crisis." Differing with his Democratic opponents, McCain yesterday argued against widespread government intervention in dealing with the home mortgage and foreclosure crisis. Obama is set to give a major economic speech on Thursday in New York City at Cooper Union, where he’s expected to outline more differences with McCain on their economic agendas.

Did they really have to start a war to do that? There weren't other ways of killing the guy?

I wouldn't even compare LBJ to Bush. At least Johnson had civil rights. Nixon may have left in disgrace, but even his harshest critic has to admit he did some good things during his term and a half. Bush's presidancy however, has had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

The thing is, I always thought whatever else she was, Hillary was smart. But, dammit, how could anyone with one ounce of intelligence get caught up in such a blatant lie? Apart from Sinbad and everyone else who was there, didn't she realize the cameras had filmed everything and her claim could easily be proved false? Or has she not realized how The Youtube works yet?

The Hillary planning for 2012 theory just sounds a little too out there. Fact is, who knows what new stars in the democrat party could emerge in four years. Four years ago no one knew who Barack Obama was, now look at him. Hillary has to know that even if she did somehow sabotage Barack for the election, her pathway to 2012 would be less than clear anyway.

I'd love to think he has a lifetime of guilt ahead of him (and he'd still be getting off easy even then), but, I doubt it. He still seems to be under the impression that while he's hated now, history will be kinder to him.

This made me really angry... Oh, poor George. Who's Cheney kidding? Bush will walk out out the white house next year into a lavish retirement full of golfing and writing his memoirs, rarely troubling himself with thoughts of the damage he's caused. It's so terrible to me when you hear these families that have lost people talking about their greif, and how, particularly in the case of child, that person was their world. But to Bush and co their lives meant nothing, really.
