" Yeah!! GO HILLARY!! Let's win in Wyoming !! We need HILLARY who would be a strong commander in chief, and a President who can fix our economy!! Green Jobs for ecomonc growth! HILLARY 08!! It's Wyoming's turn to make history! "

" I just hope she doesn't get elected
to President. The only woman
whom I thought she be elected
was a lady from Colorado. She has
long since retired from politics. "

" I respond with evidence ... Dick Morris statements in an effort to set the record straight on Hillary's history.
For those of you who don't know Dick Morris was the political advisor to Bill Clinton during his White House years. He was about as close to the Clintons as anyone during that time. I am reposting his comments concerning Hillary.
"If you happen to see the Bill Clinton five minute TV ad for Hillary in which he introduces the commercial by saying that he wants to share some things we may not know about Hillary's background . . .
beware .
As I was there for most of their presidency and know them better than just about anyone, I offer a few corrections;
Bill says: "Hillary spent a year after graduation working on a children's rights project for poor kids."

The facts are : Hillary interned with Bob Truehaft, the head of the California Communist Party. She met Bob when he represented the Panthers and traveled all the way to San Francisco to take an internship with him.

Bill says: "Hillary could have written her own job ticket, but she turned down all the lucrative job offers."
The facts are: She flunked the DC bar exam, yes, flunked, it is a matter of record, and only passed the Arkansas bar. She had no job offers in Arkansas, none, and only got hired by the University of Arkansas Law School at Fayetteville because Bill was already teaching there. She did not join the prestigious Rose Law Firm until Bill became Arkansas Attorney General and was made a partner only after he was elected Arkansas Governor.

Bill says: "President Carter appointed Hillary to the Legal Services Board of Directors and she became its chairman."

The facts are: The appointment was in exchange for Bill's support for Carter in his 1980 primary against Ted Kennedy. Hillary then became chairman in a coup in which she won a majority away from Carter's choice to be chairman.

Bill says: "She served on the board of the Arkansas Children's Hospital."
The facts are: Yes she did. But her main board activity, not mentioned by Bill, was to sit on the Wal-mart board of directors, for a substantial fee. She was silent about their labor and health care practices.

Bill says: "Hillary didn't succeed at getting health care for all Americans in 1994 but she kept working at it and helped to
create the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) that provides five million children with health insurance."

The facts are: Hillary had nothing to do with creating CHIP. It
was included in the budget deal between Clinton and Republican Majority Leader Senator Trent Lott. I know; I helped to negotiate the deal. The money came half from the budget deal and half from the Attorney Generals' tobacco settlement. Hillary had nothing to do with either source of funds.

Bill says: "Hillary was the face of America all over the world."
The facts are: Her visits were part of a program to get her out of town so that Bill would not appear weak by feeding stories that Hillary was running the White House. Her visits abroad were entirely touristic and symbolic and there was no substantive diplomacy on any of them.

" You know they are all running scared when the come to Wyoming to scrape up a few delegates "

" There goes the parking. "

" It is times like this that I regret going to an out of state college. It figures that Wyoming politics get particularly interesting after I leave. "

" Regarding Hillary "flunking" the DC bar: As a former employee of the Washington State Bar, I can tell you that about half of all attorneys flunk the bar exam on their first attempt. Need I remind you JFK Jr. also "flunked" the bar exam--TWICE. He did not pass until his third try. "

" I wouldn't vote for Hillary if she was the ONLY candidate on the ballot. Any woman who doesn't have the backbone to get rid of a cheating husband isn't going to have the backbone to deal with the much more important issues that come with being the president of the United States. "

" I have been a registered Republican for years. I am switching my party affiliation first thing in the morning! I will not miss my opportunity to vote for the first woman to run for President. Geraldine Ferraro (the woman from Colorado) was invited to the ticket, not showing any initiative of her own. My respect for Hillary Clinton is due, in large part, to her involvement with the Children's Defense Fund, her determination to be a substantial contributor to public service under her husband's administration, and her resilience in surviving every negative campaign waged against her. Despite brutal treatment by many in the media and in the Republican Party. Despite it all, she STILL puts the wellbeing of her constituents first. She has strong faith, is a loyal partner, a remarkable mother, and has larger cajones than most men who oppose her candidacy. As for the idea that the time has come for a President of color, I think that would be great, too. Still, I will stick with Hillary Clinton. Women fought for sufferage to get the right to vote and were told to "wait" while political machines pushed for the vote for Black men first. Like the "good little woman", we shut up and waited for a later turn. It feels like history is repeating itself, and women are being asked to "don't fight so hard" so Obama can create a groundswell of support. I hope other women join me in saying, "This time, it's OUR time!" "

" It's unfortunate that you all dislike Hillary so much. She is by far the best candidate. Obama simply cannot compete with McCain, especially on National Security. Everyone knows Hillary and Bill's dirty laundry. Obama's is just starting to come out: inexperience, cocaine use, smoker, and now linked to the indicted political fixer Tony Rezko. "

" I say: make sure you vote for the person who will protect your rights. Wyoming is full of hunters. I don't want a pres...who is going to pull another Australia OOPS!
"

" Her husband is scheduled to be in Laramie on Thursday at 5 at UW, I believe, and
Obama at UW Friday evening. "

" DearEditor,

According to two breaking news items, both Hillary & Bill Clinton will be on the ground there on March 5th.

This after The Texas Two-Step re-invigorated the Democratic Party primary season.

As the Chissum Trail from Austin, Texas fans out to the ultimate destination of Wyoming, please give the couple your warm welcome & encouragement!

Aloha from Honolulul,

" This is very exciting to have Sen. Clinton coming to WY - the economy and the environment needs her and she needs our vote. I believe she is the only one who will this economy jump started and back to being prosperous for everyone - not too mention help address the heavy cost of students loans that I am dealing with now.

GO Hillary! "

" if we are going to quote Dick Morris we should really understand some things about Dick Morris. This is a rogue political advisor who goes where the money and fame are. Just to cite facts, go to his website, he is such an patriot that he hawks his crap about the Clintons by selling bogus videos about Hillary for $30.00 while charging $25.00 to subscribe to his site. The internet is a wonderful place and the accomplishments of Mrs. Clinton while she was First Lady are out there for the searching, the real facts. SHCIP was the compromise she ended up making after her health plan met resistance. As to the claim that she worked for the head of the American Communist Party, more lies. The story is made clear on Politifact.com, who's sole purpose is to debunk myths like this about all politicians. Truth is she went to work for a firm that he had been a partner of however, he left the communist party in 1958, long before she ever heard of them. She worked there for civil rights and childrens rights and another partner is quoted as saying “I think she did something that was relatively noble and altruistic when she was a young woman,” Burnstein said.
I could go on and on but you get the picture. She is a strong capable leader and we would be lucky to have such an educated experienced woman as the President of the United States. I have seen such vitriol from Obama supporters since they "lost" yesterday as to frighten me. The immaturity rings loud and clear. I responded to a blog on Talkiing Points Memo.com this morning saying that Clinton only won on the coasts, Ca, Fl, NY and Ohio (?) and that old people were the only reason. I gently told her that the only water in Ohio was in the form of lakes and "old" people like me (51) have seen far more politics than she is due to see for a very long time. I do not believe our brains had not yet melted down sufficiently to cause us to blindly pull the Hillary lever. We are educated, mature Americans who know the difference between a leader and a snake oil salesman. Wyoming and the states to come will have an historic role going forward. A role they have never played before and the choices that are made should be based on fact, not veiled innuendo from a disgrunted ex employee. Take the time to get to know Hillary and the things she has accomplished and then vote your consciences. Whatever you decide to do, I am sure you will do America proud.

"

" I was happy to see former Governor Mike Sullivan's endorsement of Senator Clinton. She will make a fine President. "

" I believe Obama is our man for the democratic party as well as the White House. VOTE OBAMA ON SATURDAY! "

" Donny, give up--people are smarter than that and know that Clinton is the strongest candidate for President--strongest in the past 12 years. She is brilliant, she is a fearless fighter for the rights of the underdog. She has worked consistently over 35 years to bring positive change to the world. She is an inspiration --especially to girls and women--and we really do need a woman president--for a CHANGE...real change, real solutions will come with Hillary in the White House. I'm voting for her on the 3rd. Go HILLARY! "

" I would be thrilled to have a woman for president. I am a woman. But I don't see Hillary Clinton as the right woman for President. Her role in her husband's habitual abuse of women is not what I would call a strong woman or a feminist. She does not represent the women like my grandmother who fought women's suffrage. Hillary did not just lovingly forgive and forget like a good woman when her husband slipped up one time in their marriage. Hillary enabled Bill's abuse of women. He was a sexual predator and this nation witnessed it. Very publicly was Monica. She was only 21 years old. More disturbing is the claims of Juanita Broddrick. Her interview which aired on national TV was viewed by all. She was credible. She did not want to come forward. She claimed to have been threatened and intimidated by Hillary Clinton. No surprise when you are on the way to the White House and it is your personal goal to step stone your own way to the White House. Juanita's story was never debunked. It just was silence it was so bad, and the nation was pretty tired then. That was then, and this is now.

I hope someone who can attend the rally with Hillary at the College can ask her about Juanita Broddrick. I wish some of the past questions could get asked. If the Clintons are going to surface nationally again, then they should answer some of the long lost questions.

" Yes she will!

Hillary Clinton is an inspiration to the country! To the world! She is racking up victories in the states that matter most in the general election. BO's wins in DEEP red states mean zilch in November. I agree, he works wonders with words and is a refreshing candidate in many ways. But he'll be clobbered by McCain, who by the way will take all the Independents for certain.

So let's rally around Hillary Clinton, the one candidate who has the experience and PLAN of action that will bring REAL CHANGE!

"Yes we will!"

Go Hillary!

Hillary Clinton 2008!!!! "

" I feel that Hillary Clinton would be the best candidate nominee for the Democratic Party for the November presidential election. Mrs. Clinton is someone I respect and trust running our country and I’ll be voting for her because she shares my religious, social, and economic values. Whereas, I feel Senator Barack Obama is more concerned with government power than meeting the greater needs of the American People. I will be much more at ease knowing that Mrs. Clinton is Commander of Chief of our country then her counterpart Mr. Obama. "

" I think it's pretty cool we're finally on the map. Well, bring 'em on and let's hear what they have to say. "

" America needs a great leader who knows how to get things done and leads the way, not just a good talker! Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the presidential campaign. "

" Hillary Clinton is a real fighter. She has proven herself in crises situation such as 9/11 where she is the Senator from New York, Bosnia, Kosovo negotiations, the Ireland peace proposals, and in China where she proclaimed loudly that Womens right were human rights. All the women in the world applauded. She is the toughest I have ever seen.

Obama is a weak candidate with Rezko, NAFTA-gate, his racist Pastor Wright, and his unpatriotic wife. I cannot conceive how any patriotic American would vote for him.

Hillary is the Democratic hope. "

" It's time for Hillary! "

" Do ANY of the above posters actually LIVE in Wyoming? Or are they all Clinton/Obama campaign workers?? My guess is that they are all on the payroll for the candidates! "

" I am a supporter of Senator Hillary Clinton for President as I know that she has the courage, compassion, knowledge, and a voice of experience that offers clear solutions to lead our country. Her incredible grasp of the challenges that we face everyday on many facets, especially on the economy, healthcare, foreign policy, environment, security, war in Iraq and other issues put her way on top of her opponent.

Sadly, in this election, we became acutely aware of broken loyalties and alliances between long time colleagues, with friendships put on hold. Before the end of the day, we hope that there is recognition of which candidate is best prepared to lead our country to address those issues hands on. I believe that Senator Clinton has passed the most rigorous tests by the American people personally and professionally and more than qualified to be our 44th President. I pray that the choices we make are based on judgment on what is best for the country, and there's never a doubt, that is Hillary Clinton. God bless America"

" America needs a great leader who knows how to get things done and leads the way, not just a good talker! Vote Hillary on Saturday! "

To all you Hillary supporters....get all your friends and campaign and cacus for her! She really needs all our help now, Texas and Ohio did it....what a wonderful message it would send if you could all work together and say WYOMING did it too! "

Also, he wants to change washington politics as usual, no lobbiest, that is what scares pe and that is why he is under attack. don't bellieve the rumors of fear, he is under scrutiny because people are making money off of the lobbiests and he does not want them controlling washington.

And Ma'am I believe Dick Morris was an advisor to Bill Clinton and was expecting more out of it. However, it's documentated that Hillary traveled to more than 80 countries representing the US in sessions with foreigh leaders, with influtential citizens from business,academia and human rights.
She traveled to the Balkansin 1999 when NAto led air war against the former Yugoslavia as paart of a broader effort to open up the borders with the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia permitting thousand of Kosovar refugees to flee to safety. ou can check most of these facts out on the internet. Even when she she was elected to the Senate and what bills she introduced.
Check out the thomas Library of Congrress. "

" Every woman in Wyoming should line up to caucus for Hillary Clinton. There is no one better suited to understand the needs of women in America. Evey man in Wyoming should caucus for her too. She understands people that have to work hard for a living and the men in Wyoming are no strangers to hard work. She's smart, capable, caring and knows the ropes of Congress. After President Clinton left office, Senator Clinton was capable of working closely with many of the same Senators that tried to impeach President Clinton for his misconduct. This must have been difficult since many of them had been hypocritically having affairs outside their marriages at the same time he was being tried. Despite their great hypocrisy, Hillary was big enough to rise above any grievance she might have had and did what was right for the country. She will show the same kind of class as President and do what's right domestically and internationally. Obama's a great guy, but he's not ready quite yet. We've certainly had enough male presidents. Perhaps it would be helpful to have a slightly different perspective for a change. How could it possibly hurt? "

" Obama's for all civil rights, including the 2nd amendment. Hillary wants big government and less freedom, i.e. forcing you to buy her healthcare. "

" I have a good friend in TX. She wrote me last night and said they did not know who they were going to vote for until they pressed the button. I wonder how many others are doing this? She and her husband both voted for Hillary. It felt right. In the end, you have to go with your heart and gut. Sure, you should do your homework as much as possible. I don't see either candidate (Democatic) as perfect, but in my heart, I feel Hillary to be more real for our causes. People can say plenty of bad things about her and they're JUST getting going with slamming BO. I just wish they could challenge each other on real concerns without getting mean. My heart and mind and gut have told me all along that Hillary is who we need most right now. Her time is now. I have not wavered from this position and I will not. I will always stand by her. I wish I could come see her in Caspar!! "

" What weight will Hillary's "experience" arm take if she meets up with McCain in a general election? Experience vs. experience?? It's a mute point, McCain wins.

She can stop the war in Irag?!...wait, she gave our dimwitted president the authority to wage this war. Can't win that one.

Or, as women we should unite for our sisterhood and stand with our candidate?? Say whaaat? I wouldn't vote for a man because he was a man, an African American because he was an African American or a woman because I'm a woman. I vote for the best candidate, period (who in this case, happens to be a black man).

At the end of the day, we need a strong candidate that sets themselves APART from McCain. Who can win on an entirely different platform. I fail to see how another Clinton (after 12 yrs. combined of Bush and 8 yrs. of Clinton) strays from "politics as usual". Lobbyists have funded much of her campaign, which speaks volumes. All I see in this future is the same old..apathy and powerlessness.

The "change" that Obama refers to is a fresh perspective on running a for-the-people government. He has an incredible capacity to inspire and get the average citizen more involved, he has organized and empowered an unprecedented grassroots movement, he has real "on the street" experience, he is gifted in oration which can be used to strengthen our international relationships, he is entirely funded by people such as you and me (and has amassed 4 times the $$ Hillary has garnered, even with her special interest donors), he is extremely intelligent, sharp and honest, he is trained in constitutional law AND I believe he will be the only candidate who can replace our mounting 'code orange' fear with hope, realism, cohesion and a real focus on rebuilding American soil.

Go Obama

"

" Dick Morris hates the Clintons. Don't trust anything he says, he is a scum bag. The truth is that Obama is hiding many things.
If he wins the nomination, we will surely lose. Nothing will turn off the American people more than when they find out about his gay affair with Larry Sinclair.
Obama and his dirty Rezko ties left poor people and their children freezing during Chicago's notorious winter. Why? Rezko did not pay the electricity for the slum building. Obama is a fraud.
He accused Hillary of trying to scare people, yet he copied her AD. Isn't that rather hypocritical. People need to take a good, long look at Obama. He is very dangerous for this nation that I love so dearly.

Down with Hussein, vote for Hillary
"

" No one brings it in like Obama!! "

" I just dropped over here following a link and am really disturbed at how horrible the Obama supporters talk about Hillary. As a Hillary volunteer I never berated the man--and he has some questionable crap going on right now--like Rezko and the Canada memo to name but two.
Many of us who have done calls for Hillary have received the most vitriol from Obama people than the doggone republicans.
At this point I'm more concerned about the Obama zealots than I am about Obama himself. Is this what we are going to get if he's elected? More politics of hate?
Obama doesn't have to attack her head on, he has an army of swift boater bloggers doing it for him--as shown in the disgusting and misleading post above regarding Dick Morris--
I cetainly always thought that you people in Wyoming were more down to Earth types, take you time to learn the facts and ignore the smears, I hope I'm right.
I'm from WI and Obama fever was high here thanks to our governor and top people in the party setting the stage for Obama. I've seen both of them up close in speeches.......she speaks, he strikes poses for the cameras. Mark my words, you'll see how big his ego is and how much his campaign will steamroll you!
Good Luck "

" First, I hope you Dems vote for Billary in you caucus so that your party keeps fighting. I don't want ANY Dem for president.
Second, I knew Dick Morris from DM & Associates. He is Very smart but also Very sleazy.
Third, yes JFK Jr. flunked the bar exam twice-but he never claimed to be smart "

" I don't understand why people say they would love to see a woman President - just not Hillary Clinton! Hillary Clinton is without a doubt the most gracious and intelligent woman for the job! I think real change - such as the possibility of a WOMAN being in the White House - is what scares people! Well, let me tell you, I believe that all the people who would like to see a woman President, but just not Hillary", won't ever vote for a woman President - there will always be an excuse! I doubt that any female in the now or in the near future will come along that is as qualified for the job as Mrs. Clinton. Have you seen her debate, have you been to her website at hillaryclinton.com, have you listened to her speeches? The woman is knowledgeable about everything. During the last msnbc "debate" (or should I say lynching) Tim Russert tried his best to knock her down, but she answered everything that was thrown at her without even pausing - even the zinger Russert tried to throw in about the name of Putin's Russian puppet! Come on people, I implore you, please vote for Hillary Clinton - don't be afraid to take the plunge - YES she IS a WOMAN - and she is the RIGHT WOMAN AT THE RIGHT TIME! If not now - - when? Please, please vote for Hillary!! Thank you. "

" I would never vote for Obama because his supporters are so hateful and rude. Hillary has won all of the big states that a Democrat MUST win in order to beat a Republican candidate.

get it straight Obama.. "

Wyoming is a progressive state!!! Go Wyoming! Just wait til you hear her in person - her ideas for fixing the economy, foreign relations; she answers ANY and ALL questions, even personal ones that really should be off limits. Anyway, after you hear her in person, you will see how smart she is and that she CAN change things around in Washington (think of all those good ol boys running scared right about now). Vote Hillary!!! "

" Someone asked if they can ask Hillary's stance on several issues..the answer is ABSOLUTELY! She not only has an amazing knowledge of policy and issues central to the American family, she speaks freely and openly about her plans and backs them up with FACTS!

Please go and ask her questions, she will answer them thoroughly and thoughtfully. Please visit her website: www.hillaryclinton.com and learn about her ideas for our country.

I don't know about you all, but I learned the most in my life from past experiences, including past failures and mistakes. Those experiences shape who we are and we learn to avoid them in the future.

When it comes to healthcare coverage, the economy and protecting our country, there is no better qualified or more ready candidate thna HILLARY! "

" Dick Morris is stupid and doesn't know what he is talking about. He just wants Obama to win so that the Republicans can win the Presidency. Why is it that women have to do three times the job that a man does before they are given any credit for their work and accomplishments. GO HILLARY, you have done all the work and the rest of us women need to stand by YOU!!!! "

" Their appearance here is no more than the equivalent of being picked last on the playground. There simply aren't many options left; if either of them had it locked up, non of them would be here. "

" I am so impressed with Hillary Clinton and what she has accomplished in her life. She has spent her life working for children and those who are less blessed than most of us are.

I am not preaching hate against Obama. I just don't think he is the right person for the office. If he is nominated, I truly feel that many Democrats will never vote for him because of his extreme left leaning views. We went down that road before with Dukakis, McGovern and Kerry. I am afraid I am one of those who may have to vote for McCain or write in HIllary's name if Obama is the nominee. I was just looking at a poll this evening on Realclearpolitics.com that said fully 25 per cent of Hillary's supporters will not vote for Obama while only 10 per cent of those supporting Obama won't vote for Hillary. There is no way we can give away 25 per cent of the vote.

I am asking all of you in Wyoming to really thiink about the future and who will bring out those who normally vote. In Texas, the older voter outperformed the younger Obama set by 17 per cent to 9 per cent. "

" More facts about Dick Morris - He was fired by the Clinton Administration for being arrested for having sex with prostitutes. He has become a Republican and I guess he is upset about being fired because he has made a career out of slandering democrats and attacking Hillary! "

" Hello, my name is Andrew Cheng, a 24-year old individual living in the heart of downtown Chicago. I will never support Barack Obama for President. He has done nothing for Illinois, and he will do nothing for the United States of America.

She has brought real change to this country, and she will continue to do so when she is in the White House. She is the only person with plans to fix the economy and provide more good quality jobs to hard-working Americans; to provide universal health care coverage; to modernize and expand the educational system, including ESL classes; to find an alternative source of energy and to lower skyrocketing gas prices; to bring about humane immigration reform; and to make America the respected and revered nation in the eyes of allies and foes alike. Please join me in voting for Hillary, the only person we can trust to get the job done on day one! Thank you and vote for change in Hillary Clinton!!

" NO NO NO What is wrong with you people who will vote for someone just because they are black or a woman or a republican? Grow up and read about their policies for crying out loud. We need change, we need to bring our troops home, we need to restore our civil liberties. Clinton, Obama, McWar are all horrible choices. I would never vote for any of them. "

" Why now? Why, all of a sudden is Wyoming a key component to winning the Democratic nomination? If we weren't important enough to worry about before, then stay away. Yes, our caucus is important, important to the people of Wyoming. It's our turn to voice our opinion. But as long as there is an electoral college what really is the significance, delegates influenced by smooth talking campaign managers and too many people thinking only about themselves not what the voters of their state really want. Politicians, can't live with them, would like to live without them. "

" What has Hillary done for United States since be elected Senator of New York? People forget she spent 16 of her 36 years of 'serving the public' as an attorney for the Rose Law Firm. "

" Please, for the record let’s compare the actual candidate’s performance as legislators, documented facts without any spin.

Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term (6 years), and another year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law, (20) twenty pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress (www.loc.gov), but to save you trouble, I'll post them here for you.

1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O'Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men's Lacrosse Team on winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who lost their lives on duty.

Only five of Clinton's bills are more substantive.

16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected in the wilderness preservation system.

There you have it, the facts straight from the Senate Record.

Now, I would post Obama's legislation, but the list is too substantive, so I'll mainly categorize. During the first eight (8) years of his elected service he sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced

233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
During his first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427. These included:
**the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006 (became law),
**The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, (became law),
**The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate,
**The 2007 Government Ethics Bill, (became law),
**The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill, (in committee),
and many more.

In all since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096. This is an impressive record for someone who supposedly has no record according to the spin meisters and mindless twits. I challenge Clinton supporters to name a single legislative accomplishment that demonstrates her superior experience.

"

" Paul,
I don't think Hillary 'is racking up victories in the states that matter most in the general election'. By your statement Wyoming shouldn't matter. Furthermore, statistically Obama does a lot better with independents than Clinton. Every poll indicates Obama beats McCain by a larger margin than Clinton, if Clinton even beats McCain. Finally, there is very little difference between Obama and Clinton when you examine their policies. Health care is the most dramatic, but the difference is in terms of membership in a plan.
"

" Wyoming will not be scammed by OBAMA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuB_W8o_UsU
"

" This is an extremely important election. People need to LISTEN to what each candidate says, and determine if the candidate CAN make it happen. Hillary knows what she is talking about!! "

" The is for Beth:

I wonder if you are married - wait till you get married. For Hillary to forgive Bill is most wonderful thing that a wife could give and I am very proud of her. I experienced the same thing with my husband and still married to him for 35 years. People make mistakes. Also Lewinsky has been paid by the right wing to destroy the clintons - she was paid big.. "

" Ohio has chosen Hillary as the more experienced, seasoned candidate that our nation needs right now. The voters of Wyoming now have a chance to confirm that Hillary should be our nominee in the fall. We need changes not only in policy, but we need someone with enough experience and enough cameraderie to get things done once seated in the Oval Office. The Economy, our troops and the American people need that. Hillary can do all of that as voters last Tuesday in all contests realized. Help make Hillary the best and sure choice. "

" If you take the time to dig/research a little, you'll find that, without a doubt, Obama just isn't ready. His run for presidency has been forced...it's not a natural process. His very short list of legislative and senatorial accomplishments is contrived; he was given credit for the work of others in order to cram some experience into 1 year of service. He has shown lack of judgement in the people he's associated himself with in both business and personal levels.


In short, he is a politician and nothing more. He gives great speeches which is a major change from our current President. However, he is just too green for the job. This country is at a crossroads, and it is not the time to gamble on Obama. Please THINK before you vote...don't just HOPE Obama will mature while in office into the person we all want him to be.

" Some of you are making great arguments to help the Republicans take another victory in November. The one I like the most is that you will not miss the opportunity to be one of the first to vote for a woman or an african american in this presidential race. I guess everyone from Washinton to Bush have messed things up so bad, that the solution is to vote in another gender or another race. What a concept!! "

Don't be bullied and NOT vote at the caucus. Be strong! I heard some nasty stuff about caucus voting in other states.

" Dick Morris
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Morris
...Morris went on to become campaign manager of Bill Clinton's successful 1996 bid for re-election...his tenure on that campaign was cut short...when it was revealed that he had allowed a prostitute, Sherry Rowlands, to listen in on conversations with the President...Morris has emerged as a harsh critic of the Clintons...

Barack Obama and Dick Morris in Kenya
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/01/31/obamas-african-hubris-2/
...Leader of the Kenyan Orange Democratic Movement opposition leader, Raila Odinga, is Barack Obama's cousin...wants to be president...two of Kenya's tribes...are killing each other over a disputed election that Odinga, Obama's cousin, claims was stolen from him...Former Clinton aides currently working for Obama...directed Dick Morris to Kenya to advise the Odinga campaign in November of 2007, shortly after Odinga visited with Obama in America. Morris was an extremely divisive factor in the Kenyan elections...Kenya currently teeters on the edge of political chaos and civil war...

As an Illinois voter who regrets my vote for Obama as my U.S. Senator, I am tired of waiting for Obama to make good on his promises of "hope and change".
I have voted for "real change" by voting for a woman after 43 men as president. Caucus on Saturday, March 8th for Hilllary Clinton.
www.hillaryspeaksforme.com "

" Is it just me or all these pro Billary comments appear to be from Chelsea?

Vote Obama. Why do we need the same two families representing our country for 20+ years?

Bush Sr, Bill, Bush Jr, and now Billary. Obama has made the line so cliche but, it really is time for change.

"

" The only reason Hil is coming to Wyoming is because she's behind in delegates and the only way she was able to win Ohio and Texas was by bad-mouthing Obama; and no, I am NOT a blogger for Obama, just a concerned citizen who believes in change and Obama. Clinton has been in politics over 30 years and just WHAT has she acomplished? She touts great foreign policies but she doesn't give any specifics....IS anyone aware that with her health policy people have NO CHOICE in joining it because if they don't she'll make it mandatory that your wages are garnished...I don't know about you, but I prefer to make my own decisions, not have someone elses jammed down my throat!! A vote for Clinton or a vote for Bush is a vote for the same old thing; a vote for Obama is a vote for change for the good. Vote Obama.....Linda "

" evidently, you aren't inspired by much are you? "

" How come Republicans don't recall the Dick Morris prostitute scandal? Do your research.

To Democrats: Please think long and hard and honestly about the candidates and the issues. For one thing, when a candidate touts himself as an agent of change but then runs not as an independent but instead under the cover of party affiliation, that is not true change. And it's easy to have an opinion about Hillary's war power's vote from far away in Illinois. It's quite another to be privy to intelligence info that was not made public and then have to vote.

Remember, too, that Hillary represents NY. I lived right across the river from the WTC at the time of the attack. I felt the pier I was standing on shake. If you didn't live at Ground Zero, you really don't know what it did to all of us in the area. Even antiwar Dems like me were forever altered.

I know Hillary was representing the majority of her constituents when she voted. Barack has not walked in her shoes. Nor has he withstood the kind of scrutiny that Hillary has. We know she has fortitude. She moves on in spite of the hateful invective and lies that have been spawned about her.

You might not like her personality, which in person comes thru much differently, but she has concrete plans for improving the economy--something she's familiar with. It's TANGIBLES that give me hope. As Gov. Mario Cuomo says, "You need the prose with the poetry."

We know what Hillary's mistake was, and as a former NJ/NY'er at Ground Zero, I understand it and forgive it, and it's fitting that she work to fix it.

Obama is not ready yet. He needs the seasoning that he could get as VP. People with star quality like Obama and Bill Clinton have particularly large Achilles heels. Will Obama's hubris manifest in ways that hurt him--and us--if we put him in office too early?

One can only HOPE not.

VOTE MAMA, NOT OBAMA! "

" who cares? america is going downhill when all we have to vote from is a washed out old lady, obama and mccain.....we need some real people to stand up for this country....not people who've made politics their livlihood....they've forgotten what it is to be a real american "

" We have to make sure to caucus this Saturday! Obama is a great candidate but he will not be able to win against McCain. The Democratic Party is indeed developing a general election problem: Obama proved on March 4th he just can't close the deal and win in the fall. He also does not have appeal in large battleground states that will be pivotal in the general election.

Get out on Saturday and caucus for Hillary! She can win when we need it most

"

" Hillary is by far the best democratic candidate running for President of the United States. This is a huge chance for everyone in Wyoming to make history and vote for the first woman President and by far the best person for the job.

Let's all get involved at www.hillaryclinton.com

GO HILLARY!!!

WE LOVE YA GIRL!!! "

" Go HILLARY!!!!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCG5Tp4ZwZI

She is the bionic candidate "

" Are are followers resting their case on Dick Morris statements? The Dick Morris with great morals and the highest of integrity? The loyal then democrat who solicited prostitutes and would discuss information vital to our country with them. Let’s hear from Tony Rezko now another man of great integrity about to go on trial in Chicago. "

" It's great our state is the buzz now for the media! It's about time we had a smart woman in the White House who can clean up the mess of Bush. GO HILLARY WYOMING LOVES YOU!! "

" I wonder if at either or both showings of Obama & Hillary if they will field questions from the auditorium & not just preset selected questions, so genuine questions may be asked on their views & what they plan to do to help the economy ,stop the war, reverse global hatred of USA from the last problem we had in office.
P>S> the best thing that has happened to Wyo. this year is B. Cubin wont be in office!!!!!!!! "

" It makes me sick to see so many women defending Hillary. She has accepted a $170,000, donation from a firm that has 103 women that they abused. Hillary says she won't give it back because they have not been convicted yet. Now do you think over a hundred women have lied and are suing the company because the firm IPA didn't do this. She keeps harping on Obama ties to Resko, well there was a picture of Hillary, Bill and Rezko taken together when Bill was President. If Hillary can't control her husband or at least get rid of him, what does that show us about her. Also, as the news reports today there is so much in fighting going on in her campaign, she can't control her campaign staff, how will she control the White House. My asssumption is that she won't. Oh and why won't she release her 2006 tax returns after loaning her campaign 5 million. She is hiding something.
Also, what was Bill Clinton doing in Canada last week. She may fool all of you but she doesn't fool most of America who will see through her and vote for Obama. "

" Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for the presidency. She is committed to America and brilliant to boot!

I am certain that and will fight for Americans' right to healthcare, veterans rights, the foreclosure crisis.
I am convinced that she is the candidate who will best maneuver us out of Iraq, end the war in Afghanistan, deal with righting the economy.

I have taken the time to really study all the candidates and their positions, and I have settled comfortably on Hillary Clinton.

Please Vote Clinton on Saturday! I will! "

" Let me tell the country, I was involved in the “ TEXAS TWO-STEP PHONY CAUCUS”. I got there in the 11am hour to stand out-side with my candidates sign. There was a young man already there holding a portrait size poster of Obama. Before letting him know, whom I was there for, he began to talk. And talk he did they were instructed to call in numbers every hour, they were also instructed to disrupt the event until there were enough Obama supporters at the event. Sure enough as I was checking voters INDENTIFACTION , they were going up and down the line outside telling people that were Hillary supporters that they were in the wrong line and polling area and a lot of older voters that wanted to attend left out of FEAR. They also had Black radio stations saying “ OBAMA IS LOSING IN THE POLLS ALL BLACK’S THAT HAVE A TEXAS IDENTIFACTION SHOW UP AT THE CAUCAUS” THEY CAN’T STOP YOU “
There were several Obama supporters threatening violence and as I said frightened several Hillary supporters away. This sound just like what happened to our Super Delegate Black Leaders, GREAT PEOPLE , this mob, thug like action. OBAMA SHOULD BE ASHAMED actions such as this is a SLAP IN THE FACE TO THE GREAT, GREAT DR.KING
"

" It's hilarious to me that HRC supporters think Obama supporters are delusional when they can't seem to perform simple math. She CANNOT regain the delegate lead unless she wins every single state by margins greater than 70%. That is delusional. And if you think she's fully vetted...oh boy. You will be shocked at the skeletons in her closet.
- will the tax returns ever be released?
- will the press finally address the Peter Paul scandal? In theaters now...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xq8aopATYyw
- will her White House record actually be released so we can see all of her amazing experience?
Thank you *Donny* up there for fact checking Bill's ad.

If through some underhanded, unfair, and dishonest tactics she takes the democratic nomination, it will be the END of our party. We have had enough of this nonsense. "

" I can't wait for the Obama Rally.

Wyoming gets a chance to make history. I have read his blue-print for change . . .and it is detailed.

As a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Obama passed legislation to improve care and slash red tape for our wounded warriors recovering at places like Walter Reed. He passed laws to help homeless veterans and offered an innovative solution to prevent at-risk veterans from falling into homelessness. Obama led a bipartisan effort in the Senate to try to halt the military's unfair practice of discharging service members for having a service-connected psychological injury.

Don't believe the mud thrown by the Clinton - "the most secretive politician in America"

Show America that we can read in Wyoming. Obama has the charisma to win in November, AND the plan. "

" To Abby - Badmouthing? Clinton brought this campaign around to include negative ads, underhanded email attacks (that she doesn't take responsibility for) and stealing Obama's "rhetoric". Obama doesn't need to "badmouth". He just needs to poke at a few skeletons in the Clinton closet and this thing will be over. Until now, Obama was just trying to spare the old lady some dignity for the better of the Democratic party, but she waived that favor and now it will all come out. Stay tuned! ;) "

" Well if your religious you don't just leave your husband. Some people believe in for better or for worse. She is a strong woman to stay forget about leaving that would be the easy road. So opinions on that topic vary. "

" Visit HillaryClinton.com if you are really interested in doing your research and want to be an informed voter, research everybody its in your best interest. I am so board and tired of all the fluff coming from the other candidate, and to me that is what it sounds like there is nothing there that address the issues and concerns of this country. "

" I believe Obama is our man for the democratic party as well as the White House. VOTE OBAMA ON SATURDAY! "

NO! Based on what I have heard no he isnt. He should go around and do a tour of motivational speaking to keep kids in school. Perfect job for him. "

" How can we be lead as a country by a woman as weak as Clinton??? A woman who took all the embarrasment of her husbands wrong doing yet doesnt have the self respect to leave him seems to me she would be easy to walk all over.. And the first time she runs into a problem she;ll go running for Bill and thats the last thing we need a man who can be faithful or honorable to his family..obviously wouldnt be honorable for our country Hillary fed off the bad poblicity when she should of hid from it Honestly how can we vote for a woman with no morals she can;t make her family work how is she going to work our Country . If her husband wont do right by her there probably a reason SHE:s WEAK and our country is only as weak as our president "

" It is so great that this primary season has continued to make so many of our United States important in the process of picking our Democratic Nominee. Finally, states other than Iowa and New Hampshire have a more significant say in who represents our party!

My vote will go to Clinton and I can't wait to see her secure the nomination and go on to become our 44th president! She can and will be the change that our country needs! She will ensure our citizens have healthcare. She will fight to strengthen our manufacturing sector. And she will bolster America back up to the respected super power we were 8 years ago.

Kate "

" Hillary is not inspirational, are you kidding me....I voted for her cheating husband twice and I wouldn't vote for him again and as far as I'm concerned, Bob Dole was right when Bill was wanting to extend Presidential term limits...."you'll just run your wife"

I'm sorry, but no more Bush/Clinton, we need a breath of fresh air in this country, not someone that hides their tax returns and blatantly lies to the American people.

Bill and Hillary need to wave that magic wand they love to talk about and disappear. "

" Hillary Clinton strongly supported the Iraq War, and continues to support it unconditionally. Therefore, she would make a terrible president. A continuation of Bush's ignorant, misguided and bankrupting foreign policy. "

" Finally, Wyoming gets a say in the primaries/caucasus!! Whatever has been happening at the White House has not been working. HILLARY is a strong & intelligent woman. I think if she is elected president she will be the "PEOPLE'S PRESIDENT". I looked at her ideas and solutions for this country, it makes alot of sense! She wants to make America the "innovation nation" & competive in the global economy, grow green jobs, invest in our infra-structure, get affordable healthcare coverage for EVERYONE. I know without healthcare coverage, anyone of us can end up on the street if something catastrophic happens. How can we be competitive when many of our decisions are based on keeping, affording, or losing healthcare coverage? If we lose our jobs we lose healthcare insurance. I think HILLARY has a really good shot at turning things around. She's got my vote! . LETS MAKE HISTORY! "

" NAFTA: Clinton campaign talked to Canadians

Mr. Brodie, apparently seeking to play down the potential impact on Canada, told the reporters the threat was not serious, and that someone from Ms. Clinton's campaign had even contacted Canadian diplomats to tell them not to worry because the NAFTA threats were mostly political posturing.

The news agency quoted that source as saying that Mr. Brodie said that someone from Ms. Clinton'scampaign called and was "telling the embassy to take it with a grain of salt."

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20080306.NAFTA06/TPStory/National "

" Wyoming voters are very bright and remember the years of corruption from the Clintons. They also remember that the Clintons ignored Wyoming for their 8 years in office.


Obama has had campaign offices in Wyoming for a couple of months. The Clitnons ignored Wyoming until now. "

" Come on Wyoming wake up! Hillary is no better than her husband. Hasn't this country had enough "Clinton" and enough "Bush"? We need change! Who in their right mind would put a woman in charge of the White House, when she can't even run her own house? When terrorist first bombed the world trade center, what did Bill Clinton do...NOTHING!!!! Do you honestly think she would do anything to protect our country from terrorists? First thing she would do if elected, is raise our taxes, how is that going to help us? Our economy here is booming, take a look around Casper people, are you blind? I wouldn't trust Hillary to take care of my dog, NEVER would I entrust her with the entire nation! If everyone is intent on putting the first woman in the white house, I say convince Conelisa Rice to run! "

" I'll vote for anyone who can beat crazy John McCain. So I'm voting for Obama. "

" Being from Wyomign I am astonished at how worked up you are over all this.

Normally people from Wyoming are sensible, and down to earth. I am going to do you all a favor and bring you back to reality. I am a republican, and would like nothing more than to see Hilary win the nomination so McCain can stomp her in the general.

That aside here are teh facts-

1. Regardless of who you want, it is a virtual IMPOSSIBILITY for Hilary to win the nomination.

2. The only way she could realistically win would be if the super delegates went against the wishes of the voting democrats of America.

3. If the super delegates were so stupid as to go against the wishes of their voters they would be without question killing any chance of winning the general.

Which leads me to my conclusion.

Obama will get your nomination, and he is the best shot you have at having a Democrat for president.

Bottom line, if you want to have a voice in the democratic nomination leave Wyoming. Your 12 votes aren't even a 10% swing in the current defecit of votes that Hilary has. "

" Wyomingites should remember before they consider voting for Cliton the fact taht when the primaries started she didn't much care about the caucus states, she admitted to that fact when stating her wins and losses; but now that she DESPERATELY needs more delegates she is all for the causus states. Is that someone we want for president.....someone who will change her mind when it's to her benefit? I don't think so. We should be voting for Barack Obama; someone who hasn't lowered themselves to dirty politics like she has and someone who doesn't change his opinion according to the way the wind blows.........Cindy "

" Why vote for Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primaries? I think Jack Nicholson may have said it best: "She's the best man for the job." It's time men and women in this country realize this.

Hillary is the "Iron Lady" with an "iron will." I know of no other woman in American politics today, or in the foreseeable future, who has withstood "so much, for so long, for so many." She has withstood a barrage of attacks, fair and unfair, as a First Lady, a mother, a wife, a Senator, and a Presidential Candidate, from the press and the public alike. For some reason we all like to vet her. But her record overall will show that she has stood for what is and/or what would have been good for America.

As Commander-in-Chief, Hillary Clinton will be unflinching in the preservation of our national security yet will be understanding of the needs of our troops. As General Shelton said, “I’ve been with Senator Clinton when she has been with our military men and women. I know from those experiences that she understands the demands and sacrifice of military life. I am confident she will always put the readiness and well being of our troops first. She is ready to be Commander-in-Chief.” General Shelton served two terms as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Clinton and George W. Bush. He ought to know if she's ready and he says she is.

On the domestic front, Hillary Clinton experienced first-hand both the Clinton and Bush administrations, as a First Lady and an active participant in her husband Bill's administration, and as a two-term Senator during W.'s administration. She comprehends at multiple levels the domestic problems confronting us -- what worked in the past, what didn't work, what's changed and what needs to be changed to make our economy and health care systems work for all of us again.

She is by far the superior candidate in this race for the Democratic nomination. I ask all of you who have opposed her to take a long hard, second look, casting your biases and pre-judgments aside, and I believe you will inevitably come to the same conclusion I have --

This country needs Hillary Clinton to be the next President of the United States. Please give her your unbiased and full-fledged support. "

" Good luck Wyoming on your caucus. Hillary supporters please, please get to your caucus. We are counting on all of you in Wyoming to keep Hillary's momentum going. You can all make history! "

" After years of waiting, I finally get to vote for a socialist candidate who can lead our country into the future with peace, love and harmony! "

" Jeanie, You say that you would be thrilled to have a woman as our President and that you are woman. What does the one desire have to do with the other fact?

Don't the values, ideas and proposed solutions of the person running for office count for anything?

Your solution seems to be sexist. Since I am black can I only vote for Mr. Obama? Wouldn't that make me a racist?

Surely you have more to your person than only your gender and all other values as merely an after thought?

I would ask all to look at the economic and social policies of all three candidates and then try to figure out how they will affect our now sagging economy. None have offered an effective plan with any long term legs. Both Hillary and Barak have said that they'll dump tons of federal dollars (our tax money) into the economy. That is only a very short term dodge to shore up our markets and in the longer term will have a true negative affect. They both have proposed increased taxes which will make for a business unfriendly economic environment and more jobs will be "out sourced" over seas. Is this healthy for the economy (no is the correct answer for those in the back of the classroom). "

" WELL, I am not overly enthusiatic about any of the candidates, but let me say this: OBAMA WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO SOME GOOD. HILLARY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. PERIOD. With her it is a power and ego thing. With her it is always "I" and "Me" With Obama it is "Us" ...Hillary has succeeded in breaking the gender gap: She the first female "Good ol' Boy" sleazy politico, and just a further extension of the "same old same old" conniving back room deals.
Her so-called experience amounts nothing. She wants to be connected to all of the "good" about her husbands administration but denies any involvement in any of the "bad" If Obama is a freshman senator, she is no more than a sophmore. Don't trust her; she is a carpetbagging sleazeball. I think a woman President would be a good thing; BUT COME ON AMERICA! NOT HER!
Vote for Obama "

" Don't let hate blind you. Hillary has been working on children's rights all of her life. She respects and cares for our active duty millitary members and Veterans. Her education plan is excellent! "

" Love ya Wyoming,
All eyes are on you this week Wyoming.

Hope you choose Hillary, "Solutions for America".

" ill be there to see hillary speak. id love to ask her a few questions but as that will be near impossible it'll be interestin to hear other people's qusetions. I do want to point out that no matter what the candidates say, no matter what their supporters or haters say, its all just talk. I personally could care less the sex or color of our leaders. If you are voting based solely on that you are a moron. Both Hillary and Obama will push for socialism in our society, and our kids will suffer. No matter who wins, we lose. And to all the people out there who think that by voting for a woman or a black man we are makin history, maybe think about all the other countries that have had a woman leader or a black leader. I'll conclude by pointing out a couple facts. First, that the current president's grandfather was a Nazi contributer and supporter. Second, Bill Clinton and Bush Sr. are, many times, pictured Together. And third, for some reason, when candidates run nowadays, the funds they raise seem to be more important than the issues they support. Our society has fallen to pieces, but as long as we are amused we dont seem to mind (sports, drugs, movie stars, singers, etc.). "

" Wyopatriot is absolutely WRONG! Hillary can win the nomination. Its about Wyoming - Pennsylvania - and the do-overs for Florida and Michigan. Don't listen to these lies. They usually start out in the Obama headquarters. They like to tell lies - like how an insurance mandate will force the poor to buy health insurance they can't afford. That's an Obama lie. Hillary has a subsidy for them. But Obamobots don't care about the truth. They are trying to take the country over. This is war and we have to protect America. Caucus for Hillary! "

Kathleen Willey Warns Obama About Clintons
January 30, 2008 3:41 PM ABC NEWS
In an open letter to Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, on the conservative website WorldNetDaily, self-described Clinton victim Kathleen Willey warns him to no be naïve….to watch out …and to get a shredder…among other advice.
Among the unusual warnings she issues, she tells Obama to beware of "the Clintons' secret private-investigator army, which no doubt has already been deployed to counter the threat that you present. I know that army's tactics well. They have threatened my children and my friend's children. They've threatened and killed my pets. They've vandalized my car. They've entered my home and stolen my book manuscript."
Well!

" "substance over sybolism" makes a valid point that nobody wants to bring up. Too many women are merely enthralled over the idea of a female (any female) President. And support HRC only for that reason.This is "gender racism" for lack of a better term (female genderism....?) But if a Black man votes for Obama he is automatically both anti-female and a Black supremisist.... I am WHITE and an Obama supporter... what does that make me? OBAMA WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE HE WANTS TO DO SOME GOOD. HILLARY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT.
Vote for Obama "

" AtomicBetty said:
"But Obamobots don't care about the truth. They are trying to take the country over." This is typical fear mongering political rhetoric! AtomicBetty is a good neophyte political speechwriter for HRC! WATCH OUT FOR THAT BLACK MAN! HE'S GONNA GET YOU! Make everybody SCARED of something and then tell them that it is the opponent that is responsible for their fears.
The only thing we have to fear is the same old political lying and back room dealing from the same old school of the same old bunch of crooked people. Obama's "lack of experience" I interpret as being not yet totally corrupted and influenced by the Washington inside back room dealing power hungry crooked politicians. All the recent polls show Obama as a stronger candidate against McCain than HRC, so if the Dems REALLY want to defeat him in Nov. they should all rally around Obama...He is making a big wave. Get on it and go with it and defeat Big Mac.......Or go with Hillary Billary Boo Hoo Hoo and cry in November. McCain is gonna be a LOT harder to beat and a LOT stronger than you think. "

" I have been waiting for this ever since George bush became President and our country started to go in the toilet. President Clinton was able to put this country back on track just to watch it go down in flames. Hillary will be able to do the same. If you dig deep enough you can find garbage about anyone if that is what you want to do. I speak as a disabled person and we have to get a democrat in the White House. We are struggling enough right now and are lucky to be in Wy. Bill Clinton along with his advisor Justin Dart brought about some stability for us. I received an email from our Congressional delegation thanking me for taking the cut in my midicaid to help bring down the national debt. I have a severe disability and live on about $550 a month. Thank God I have found a room mate to pool our resources to survive and I get up every day and thank the Repulicans for my standard of living.

" CLINTONS TIED TO REZKO

Since the name of Chicago defendant Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko has come up in national debate, it seems fair to look at donations from other defendants in Chicago’s “Operation Board Games.”

Of the other five defendants, three have donated to the Clintons or to Clinton supporters, three have donated mostly to Republicans, and at least two have donated to Obama’s political opponents. None have donated to Obama.

No Thank You! I will not tell my daughters that! I love them to much and I want them to be respected. I just can not figure what these woman see in her it drives me crazy! So you woman out there that support her thinks it is ok to stay with a man, even if he cheats over and over again? To me that is a really bad form of abuse. I can not believe what the heck I am hearing from all you Wyoming woman out there. You think she is woman ready to lead this country. WOW!

If is wasn't, they wouldn't even stop over for lunch at the airport to catch a connecting flight!! "

" According to the prior statements from Hillary's campaign:
Small states don't count.
Red States don't count.
And states that caucus don't count.
Wyoming doesn't count. "

" She creates a storm were ever she goes Ms. Conflict thats Hillary! I wonder how our country would function under Hillary. Just look at all the mess she starts were ever she goes. She will do anything to win anything.

I would love to have a woman president just not this one! There are alot of great women out there, she is better to stay in the senate. She has no vision only ambition!
"

" I'd rather eat dung than vote for anyone of these liars. "

" Love her or hate her it is great to have the opportunity to see presidential hopefuls speak to Wyoming. We are usually completely ignored and our state usually doesn't have any real say in the political process. I am excited to attend the event and be a part of history in the making!

What's your experience during foreign crisis? Your Wolfson can't even answer?

We can have years of scandal wasting tax payer money on impeachment trials "

" It's no longer possible to support Clinton without suspending logical thought. Her candidacy which I had hoped would be dignified and inspiring, has been that of a vindictive, hormonal teenager -- lies, tears, complaints, blame -- and one of the biggest disappointments of my adult life. This campaign is an embarrassment to all of us women, for which both Clinton and Penn are to blame. Sometimes I do wonder if Penn isn't a misogynist, but what is abundantly clear is that Senator Clinton truly does not give a darn about us, or about the future of this country. What I have learned from her candidacy is that, corruption doesn't look any better with a handbag and pumps.

I've been watching candidates on both sides of the aisle carefully since the Dems made advances in Fall 2006, and of them all, the most truthful have all been fringe and with no chance of winning (e.g. Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich) - except Obama and to a lesser extent McCain.

If you think Obama is anything but a pragmatic visionary then you're a victim of spin. Do your homework -- our beloved country is majority rule and I don't want to be your collateral damage. "

" I get so sick and tired of the all of the Bush loving hypocrites that alwyas want to bring up Bill's affair. GET OVER IT. It has nothing to do with what kind of president Hillary will be. She is an intelligent, motivational, rational , strong woman and that is exactly what this country needs. She will get us out of the war. She will protect womens rights to chose and NO she will not ban guns like some people like to assume.
She will also strengthen our economy while balancing the budget just like her husband did. Too bad "curious george" and his war mongerers had to destroy the strong country that Bill had created.

From reading some of these posts it has become entirely clear that there are still many men out there that are intimidated by a phenomenally strong woman. Just let me say, It's not 1950 anymore and a womans place is not exclusively in the kitchen. Now it is up to one to fix the mess that was made by the man you chose eight yrs. ago!!

GO HIL-ROD!!!!! "

" Look - character counts. How people act under stress is how they truly are. And the people you treat the worst are the people who know your true character the best.

Take a look at Hillary now - when she's trying to win you over - and on her "best" behavior and think about how that arrogance, that rudeness, the lack of genuine respect for others is really going to translate on the world stage. Bill's going to have to go into overdrive trying to repair relatsionships that she's going to run over at economic summits and other negotiations. There's a lot of difference between hosting a State Dinner and working with national leaders about what needs to be done in Europe about Kosovo when you have a world power like Russia opposing their independence and western Europe trying to balance their need for Russia's gas and oil with the US position that Kosovo's independence is a good thing.

She reminds me of one of those junior high girls who who really gets a personal thrill out of the fight. And if you read her biography you'll see that her mom telling her to go out and hit anyone who picked on her was an extremely important event for her. She had fights with other boys as well. And while some might say "oh, good for her" - wouldn't you start to wonder about someone (boy or girl) who constantly seemed to find a reason to resort to physical fights?

Hillary has a lot of history - and I know people like to say "oh, those are just a bunch of Hillary-haters". Well, next time you're in Borders take a look at the jackets on those books and you'll start to notice that many of those stories are coming from Democrats and others who worked with and for the Clintons.

She likes to talk about how she's ready to be commander in chief on day one. But the Clintons were very negative towards the military. Did you know that 250,000 of our servicemen were laid off during their administration. One of the reasons we have so many of our National Guard over in Iraq and so many of your servicemen are on extended rotations is because the Armed Services was cut so drastically in the Clinton years. Yet the Clinton administration sent our troops into 40 different operations during the 8 years - places like Haiti and Bosnia. Yet when we had an actual attack on our soil or our embassies - the World Trade Center in 93 - and then in two different embassies and the Cole - apart from a few cruise missiles - nothing was done.

There are a lot of democratic women Governors, Senators and Congresswomen there who have done their own work. Gov. Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas is one of those.

Hillary's experience adds up to 20 years as a First Lady of Arkansas and the White House and then 8 as a Senator. If she didn't keep overstating her experience and pointed to actual legislation she's sponsored and passed, I could deal with it.

However, she's an experienced campaigner (3 Presidential campaigns, 2 Senate Campaigns, and 3 Governor campaigns - and a major fundraisier - so she knows how to speak and work a crowd and I'm sure she'll do a good job at the rally.

But Hillary in the White House - that's experience our country doesn't need to repeat. "

" Hi folks!

For the (few) actual Wyomingites on the list:

o Yes, most of us are supporters of one of the candidates (but I'd bet all volunteers or just supporters - I'm for Obama - Independent usually voting Republican). No-one's paying me, at least (people get *paid* for this?!?)

o It's a bit weird, no doubt, but enjoy it for what it's worth. Wyoming gets to have a say in the Presidential race this time - Indiana, Mississippi, Pennsylvanie and you folks are usually skipped over the way the primaries are set up. It's a chance to ask more questions and get your voices heard (and the media will spend a fortune in the state...)

o If you take away anything from all us blogging away, look for tone and intent. You can read my thoughts on all this on my blog below, but it is easy to compare the tone of the candidates. I've thought and read a lot about both of them, and the tone you see runs down to the bone in both of them.

'nuff from me, good luck dealing with all of us! ;~)

where you can contact the campaign, read reams of policy position (the guy was President of the Harvard Law Review - he has lots of details) or, if you like, decide to volunteer. Caucus locations, contacts etc. and everything you need for voting day is all there.

" How can people vote for Hillary or McCain when both have blood on their hand of the ordinary Iraqi civilians by voting for the war, about 1 million Iraqi civilians killed(aren't they human beings???), 4000 US soldiers among 4300 so called coalition soldiers killed, thousands of soldiers and civilans injured parmanently, Millions of Iraqi civilians displaced from their home. How can we have a commander in chief who will answer the phone at 3:00am who is ready to go to war when diplomacy is still in progress? "

" I has sounded the last couple of days like Hillary is running for the Republican ticket the way she has been praising McCain. McCain/Clinton08? "

" I want to share with you some of Obama's legislative success:

Illinois State Senate 1996 - 2004

* Welfare legislation

* Created the Earned Income Tax Credit program that gave over $100 million in tax cuts for families throughout Illinois over 3 years.

* Expanded early childhood education

* Enlisted the support of law enforcement officials to draft legislation requiring the videotaping of interrogations and confessions in all capital cases.

* He passed a law to monitor racial profiling by requiring police to record the race of drivers they stopped. The law was at first very controversial, but due to Obama's skills as a negotiator and bipartisanships, he won the support of the police. During his 2004 general election campaign for U.S. Senate, he won the endorsement of the Illinois Fraternal Order of Police, whose president credited Obama for his active engagement with police organizations in enacting death penalty reforms.

* Pass the toughest campaign finance law in Illinois history. The legislation banned the personal use of campaign money by Illinois legislators and banned most gifts from lobbyists. Worked with U.S. Sen. Paul Simon (D-IL), 1988. Before the law was passed, one organization ranked Illinois worst among 50 states for its campaign finance regulations.

* Created a working, affordable health care plan in Illinois, that covers 70,000 kids and 84,000 adults, where all kids qualify for $40 per child. Obama sponsored and passed this legislation, working with Rod R. Blagojevich(IL Gov.) See All Kids http://www.allkids.com/ . It is a model for a workable, affordable national health care. "

" Obama has passed some amazing legislation. Go here to see some of it that I've culled from his website:

http://obamarecord.blogspot.com "

" As an Illinois voter I am still waiting for Obama to make good on his promises of "hope and change". Here in Illinois the Exelon Nuclear Plant still leaks nuclear waste in our groundwater. The NY Times did a big story on this in January. Over 1,600 Maytag jobs from Galesburg were shipped to Mexico. Maytag Director Lester Crown recieved $150,000,000 selling to Whirlpool and has donated tens of thousands to Obama, says Obama never raised the issue of the 1,600 jobs. Obama bought a 1.6 million dollar home and an adjoining lot owned by federally indicted slumlord Tony Rezko, who has donated to Obama campaign. I woke up and have seen beyond his rhetoric. I now understand he does not deliver on his promises. He is politics as usual. Sen Clinton has the experience and the record including legislation that brought together members from both sides of the aisle. She has also proven she can win the all important states that Democrats need in the Fall.

Clintons to face fraud trial
Judge setting date, testimony to include ex-president, senator
Posted: February 19, 2008

Peter Paul and President Clinton (Courtesy Hillcap.org)

While Hillary Clinton battles Barack Obama on the campaign trail, a judge in Los Angeles is quietly preparing to set a trial date in a $17 million fraud suit that aims to expose an alleged culture of widespread corruption by the Clintons and the Democratic Party.

At the conclusion of a hearing tomorrow morning before California Superior Court Judge Aurelio N. Munoz, lawyers for Hollywood mogul Peter F. Paul will begin seeking sworn testimony from all three Clintons – Bill, Hillary and Chelsea – along with top Democratic Party leaders and A-list celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, John Travolta, Brad Pitt and Cher.

Paul's team hopes for a trial in October. The Clintons' longtime lawyer David Kendall, who will attend the hearing, has declined comment on the suit.

The Clintons have tried to dismiss the case, but the California Supreme Court, in 2004, upheld a lower-court decision to deny the motion.

And it was the Clinton campaign who told the canadians to forget what she said about NAFTA. Don't be fooled like Ohio, & Texas. "

" LOTS OF BS ABOUT HILLARY BEING AGAINST GUNS AND OBAMA FOR GUNS. FROM CNN'S POLITICAL TICKER: Hillary Clinton
Voted for a 10-year extension of the assault weapons ban. Voted for requiring extensive background checks at gun shows. Supports licensing and registration of handguns, mandatory trigger locks for handguns, holding adults responsible for their children's use of guns, raising the youth handgun ban from age 18 to 21, limiting gun sales to one per month and allowing the Consumer Products Safety Commission regulate guns.

Barack Obama
Supports extending the assault weapons ban. Supports national law against carrying concealed weapons, with exceptions for retired police and military personnel. Supports limiting gun sales to one per month. "

" To those people like Beth who wont vote for Hillary because she forgave Bill. Uhm... if a wife forgives her husband, ant they both decide to start anew - that should be commended!

Since when is forgiveness wrong? It is not a weakness either - it is wayyyy harder to forgive than to hold a grudge.

People like Beth dont understand feminism at all. Its not about being against men - its about being equal, its about working in an equal capacity, a level playing field, bringing just as much to the table...

OMG Hillary will win!!!!!!!!!!! "

" TO ALL RANCHERS:

BEWARE OF BARACK OBAMAS ANTI-RANCHER STATEMENTS HE MADE, AT THE LAS VEGAS DEBATE.


Obama: We should work towards a reasonable compromise that protects federal land from overgrazing and recovers more of the cost of administering the grazing programs, yet also takes into account the effects on small and medium-sized ranchers.

Barack Obama: I understand that the American West is facing a serious crisis. In the long run, we will not have enough water to meet the fast-growing needs of city residents, farmers, ranchers, Native Americans and wildlife. The demand is increasing; the supply is not. It is time for Americans to become proactive in our efforts to resolve the problem. Crisis management is not a long-term solution. To accomplish that goal, we need a commitment at the federal level to a problem-solving initiative that will help manage scarce water resources, and develop partnerships to nourish a healthy environment and sustain a vibrant economy. In addition, federal policies are needed to encourage voluntary water banks, wastewater treatment and other market-based measures, improve technology for water conservation and efficiency, and remove institutional barriers to increase cooperation and collaboration among federal, state, tribal and private organizations.

COMPARE TO HILLARY CLINTON:

Clinton: I recognize and respect the long tradition of providing low cost grazing leases on our public lands. I do not believe that major changes need to be made in this area. I strongly support the state-based advisory councils that have been used to help identify lands that may no longer be suitable for grazing and to put appropriate conditions on leases to ensure that public resources are protected.

Hillary Clinton: As a general matter, state law governs the transfer of water rights, and I do not believe that the federal government should usurp state water law. Where the federal government has both primacy and legal authority, I favor water transfers where the interested parties can agree on terms, such as the sharing arrangements that have enabled the state of Nevada to store some of its Colorado River water entitlement in Arizona. When transfers involving federal jurisdiction do occur, it is vital that environmental and social impacts be fully considered and evaluated

" Obama bought a mock Georgian mansion on Chicago's South Side on June 15, 2005, the same day Rezko's wife bought a plot next door from the same seller. Obama then purchased from Rezko another parcel at above-market value. Federal prosecutors recently revealed that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire who lives in London, wired $3.5 million to the financially strapped Rezko in Chicago less than a month before the Obama-Rezko purchases. James Bone, an investigative reporter for the Times of London, wrote last Tuesday that "the money transfer raises the question of whether funds" from Auchi "helped" Obama buy his house.

A corruption trial of his former fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko on charges of influence peddling began in Chicago this past week.

" INTERESTING TID BIT: The New York Times | March 06, 2007

”I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his
elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as ”one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

Moreover, Mr. Obama’s own grandfather in Kenya was a Muslim. Mr. Obama never met his grandfather and says he isn’t sure if his grandfather’s two wives were simultaneous or consecutive, or even if he was Sunni or Shiite. (O.K., maybe Mr. Obama should just give up on Alabama.)

" Dear Walter, While I appreciate your passionate plea for "women to wake up". Truth be told, if every woman in America divorced a straying husband, there would be very few marriages left. Marriage vows state, "for better or worse". Sometimes you get the worse but then it gets better. I admire Hillary for forgiving her husband. And, I suggest Walter that you do NOT know Obama and his relationship with his wife. He is being sued in Minnesota by a man claiming a drug/sex fling in 1999. No one really knows what goes on in a marriage. I am glad you have a good one! I am still voting for Hillary Clinton! "

" Hillary, if you are reading this, great! It is time for the USA to have a woman as a President, but not another Cllinton. After seeing the "Clinton Chronicles" from the early 90s and what you and your husband done in Arkansas, well I can understand why you moved to New York.

I hope that some day we do have a woman as a President, and at this time, Ms Rice is the right woman for the Chair.

OH and Hillary, you jestured to have Obama has your running mate, hm have you won the seat? And with all the trash you have been desparetly throwing at him, he would be a fool for accepting you has his running mate. I guess you get my general idea, you are not welcomed. "

" Hillary engaged in gutter politics in the run up to the TX polls. I dont think this kinda politics will help her. Afterall, she's mathematically out. Period! "

" She should just release her tax returns and stop beating about the bush. A lot of cams await us. "

" I was for Hillary until a few weeks ago. Now I am undecided. Hillary is sounding more and more like Joe Lieberman and Joe Lieberman supports John McCain.

Hillary is not entitled to be the Democratic Party candidate she must earn it. "

" I just wanted to let you all know that I caucused for Clinton in Texas and those Obama people are RUDE. They tried to lock us out of our caucus location and we had to call the police!!

Obama IS anti rancher, he has no experience *and he lied about Nafta*

The thing is that he has been getting all these bullies who win the caucus states for him!! I heard one kid say he was paid to caucus!!!

Wyoming you are a caucus state. Get there EARLY or they will lock you out, bring everybody you can and bring a camera!!! That way they won't be as likely to bully people if they know you might take a picture!!!

Obama brags about the states he's won but, most of them have been caucus states and NOW I know why!!!

Wyoming stop this right in your home state and let those bullies know they can't take over the caucuses anymore!!

Oh and the energy people are behind Obama, they know he voted in their favor to protect their interests. Clinton voted AGAINST them raising prices.

"

" Too bad we are seeing the worst of the politics of old. I am from Wyoming, I trust Obama. I know I cannot trust Hillary . I know who cares and it is not the the ex-Wal-Mart board member and erstwhile land-developer(Whiewater anyone?) who embodies the worst of the past and should not taint our future. Obama is the man for Wyoming. "

" Obama's record: 1. pushed the yellow button, voted present when it came to voting on important bills before the Illinois state senate; 2.gave one great speech in 6 years; 3. too busy running for president, has NOT held a single foreign relations sub-commitee meeting dealing with Afghanistan.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention secret meeting with the Canadians to tell them that Obama's position on NAFTA was just words to get himself elected president, not to worry. Foreign relations advisor for the Obama campaign calls Hillary names.....same old negative politics. After loss in New Hampshire primary, Obama pulls out the "race" card. Sounds like a politician to me, engaged in same old game of politics. I DON"T TRUST OBAMA.

I'm voting on Saturday for change, for hope, and for real solutions...HILLARY CAN DO IT! Despite the media smack down, the Obama camp attacks, etc....that woman gets up and keeps fighting for this country, for all of us!! "

" This is in response to Rabin's comment above.

Hillary Clinton DID NOT go to war with Iraq. President Bush did. He is the Commander and Chief and the buck does stop there. Let's be real! Obama only shows his inexperience and his arrogance when he says how he was against the war from the beginning. The one speech he gave in 2002 was not enough. Maybe Obama should have used his community organizing skills to mount mass protests again the war. Where was he? Where was the activism? By 2004, he publically said that he wasn't sure how he would have voted. Give me a break!

The military/national guard and their families have sacrificed alot for this country. Iraq is what it is...the surge is working. However, we need to make sure that the next president has a plan for moving us forward. It's pointless to keep rehashing who voted for or against whatever.

Good judgement & great leadership is about having a plan, having solutions to complicated problems, being able to see the forest through the trees! That's why HIllary Clinton has got my vote! I watched all the debates and I TRUST Hillary with our national security and she knows what needs to happen in Iraq. "

" WYOMING Democrats be prepared to CAUCUS. I just saw videos from TEXAS where CAMP OBAMA was pretty intimidating. THIS IS WHY HE DOES BETTER IN CAUCUS.

They better not mess with us. "

" I would like to see Clinton's tax returns released so American people know where the 5 million personal loan is coming from. The Bill Clinton Library in AK should release a list of their donners in US and abroad. Also, why doesn't she release her papers from the White House? Why is she hiding so much for American people and is not honest about herself and her husband's presidency? Do we need this people back to the WH? "

" I do not trust Mrs. Clinton and I do not trust Mr Obama. They will both say anything that they believe the crowd at the time wants to hear. They both seek only power and have no actionable plan for America's way ahead unless taxing all of us to death is a plan so that they can give our money away for BS social programs (that will go to the lazy and illegal aliens). "

" Donny,
You are truely an ignorante man! Some of us do know Dick Morris. He was thrown from his perch in Washington DC by scandal. He was photographed with a hooker. His fetish was toe sucking. He publicly repented to God. But, no one would touch him but FOX. He main source of revenue had been prominent Republicans. He only advised Bill Clinton on a couple issues. He is a lepor and a hate monger. He has no other means of making a living.
Pleople need to research the facts and stay out of the kool aid. Stop reading the blobs and the hate. That's what I've done and have made up my mind.
When a canidates' only theme is change and the need to change the political environment in DC, his character needs to be above the norm. I feel that even the appearance of wrongdoing be checked.
I'd start with his autobiography. Even David Axelrod stared there were 'embellishments' to make the story more interesting. He has led a privileged life, private school in Hawaii, Columbia, Harvard. I found his scholl days interesting. Check out Dan Armstrong who worked with him in the 1980's, http://www.analyzethis.net.
Of biggest interest to me is the Obama mansion land deal and ties to Tony Rezko. This will make whitewater look like a walk in the park. The world is watching. check out http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article 3433485.ece and http://www.mydd.com/story/2008/2/28/155937/434
I can't end without bringing up race. I am convinced the most of it has been injected by the Obama group themselves. I spent about eight hours a couple Saturdays ago watching the State of the Black Nation. The convention was held in New Orleans to promote the city and economy. All four canidates were invited to speak. The only one that accepted the invitation was Clinton. Obama was to busy campaigning in Texas and Ohio. I felt sorry for Tavis Smiley, who has to say it was a 'missed opportunity'. He was to busy to take four hours to support the plite of the black people. I say it speaks volumes about Obama's character!
I'm sorry to say that I believe he has been running for president long before he got to the US Senate. Obama is about Obama! And, yes Toto, actions do speak louder that words.
He doesn't even have the strength of character to quit smoking. Even the smell of tobacco is offensive to many foreign leaders. "

" Go Hillary.....GO AWAY! "

" Barack Obama showed his TRUE colors when he just assumed that he was a shoe in in Texas, Ohio and Rhode Island, so many Staunch Democrats see through his smoke and mirrors, he is all about talk, and no walk, he has an 80% absentee rate in the Senate, as well as only a 65% approval rating on his voting record, he is basically one of those talk a good game and do nothing NOT to mention the CALL made to the CANADIAN government telling them that his dissing of NAFTA was just campaign rhetoric! I see right through this guy as do many, the stolen "just words" speech from Duval Patrick, people want a new direction but NO ONE wants to walk off a cliff! Hillary Clinton has a proven record for getting things done and working in sync with the Republican administration, Barack Obama wants to just PROVE that HE can BE the nominee, we don't have time for some personal goal to be the focus of this election, I know that the PEOPLE of Wyoming want more and WILL demand more than lines, and I BELIEVE that even though he feels like he has ALREADY one it is STILL up to voters to DECIDE!!! "

" DICK MORRIS sells SENSATIONALISM! HE is not anyone that can reflect the true aspect of any situation, he might as well send out those bogus emails that have been proven false through snopes.com.

YOU have to look at the FACTS, Barack Obama has propelled his entire campaign on words, he has cleared reiterated everything Hillary Clinton says in the debates, she has torn him up each and every debate, Oprah's and Will I Am's celebrity endorsement will only take a voter so far before they start questioning the validity of someone's actions, Michelle Obama's statement: that this was the FIRST TIME in her ADULT life that she could be PROUD of her country was so offensive it was absurd! IF a woman other than her had made that statement it would be seen as a racist comment. BUT because she is a black woman she was able to side step it, racism works both ways and is destructive whether it is from a black racist person or a white racist person. "

" GO HILLARY!
I sincerely hope she wins her party's nomination.
She is by FAR the most polarizing and despised candidate in the race.
Her victory will virtually GUARANTEE a republican victory in November.
I know plenty of republicans that could live with Obama as president. i don't know a single one who wouldn't drag themselves to the poles on broken legs, if necessary, to vote AGAINST Hillary. "

" GO HILLARY! I've known her for many years since I worked at D.C. also saw her daughter and Bill at White House. I have lots of books of their lives.. They always inspire me forever.. GO HILLARY! "

" Clinton supporters, please go to your caucus site early and don't be intimidated by the paid Obama thugs!

The campaign legal hotline has been flooded with calls containing specific accusations of irregularities and voter intimidation against the Obama campaign. This activity is undemocratic, probably illegal, and reflects a wanton disregard for the caucus process.

The three most egregious categories are:

1) Irregularities: Prematurely Taking Precinct Convention Packets by Obama Campaign
2) Voter Intimidation: Lock-out of Clinton caucus goers by Obama Campaign
3) Numerous instances of Obama supporters filing out precinct convention sign-in sheets during the day and submitting them as completed vote totals at caucus. This is expressly against the rules. The sign-in sheets were copied by the Obama campaign from the Texas Democratic Party website and taken by supporters to various polling places to sign-up caucus goers prior to the start of the caucuses

Clinton supporters, please go to your caucus site early and don't be intimidated by the paid Obama thugs! "

" There's 159 comments above me. About 145 are praising Hillary. This is way too lopsided! Something smells here!!

Hillary's paid staff appear to be using this list to paint an untrue image!!

The polls are saying that Obama is ahead by some 4% to 8% in Wyoming.

Contrast that with the postings here on this list,... and what can you conclude!?

Hillary is having her professional, non-Wyoming (!) staff flood the comment boards with glowing "vote Hillary" posts!! "

" Homer, That's pretty interesting! I scanned the postings .... You're right! It is way too lopsided to be believed. This is dirty politics! Hillary is using false image to get the vote! She's STUFFING this board to give a false impression! I think I saw those polls too, and Obama has a lead here in Wyoming. And she doesn't support the 2nd amendment! "

" If we IGNORED all but the 8 years of experience that Hillary Clinton has a U S Senator in New York, then she still has more than Obama. He was a State Senator in Illinois and more interested in positioning himself as a U S Senator. And then as US Senator the past two years. In the past two years, he has really never been a US Senator. He has, instead, excepted the title, pay and big time benifit while, instead he concentrated on running for President. He did not even hold a Committee meeting the enire 14 months that he headed up the Oversight Committee regarding Afghanastan. NOT ONE in 14 months!. He says he was "too busy." Yet he wanted this chair and he campaigns in his speeches about Afghanastan and how it has worsened. Well so much for his change! Afghnastan needed his change! But Hillary Clinton has managed to still do her work as a Senator. And that includes 8 full years as a U S Senator and handling the American terroist attack on America that occured in New York as well as passage of bills to benifit children and ALL Americans. Say, NO, to Obama. VOTE HILLARY! AMERICA NEEDS A CHANGE TO BENIFIT ALL AMERICANS, ESPECIALLY THE MIDDLE CLASS, AND A PRESIDENT THAT CAN ACTUALLY MAKE IT HAPPEN! "

" The only logical choice for America's future is John McCain.

He has no scandles surrounding him. He has proven his moral and physical courage. He has nearly four time the experience of Hillary and six times the experience of Barak Hussein Obama.

HILLARY HAS TO WIN BIG IN EACH AND EVERY STATE. Not just win, but big, get to the caucus and fight for her and our country. "

" Yes a fine, fine record for the Hildabeast. First, she was a crooked lawyer out of Arkansas. Then she was in the White House for eight years while Bill was keeping his private parts warm, well, you know where. Moved on to become a carpetbagger senator from NY. She points to all this "experience" - WHAT experience? What, if anything, HAS SHE DONE??? Sure she has eight years in the White House - SO DOES the pastry chef! I like the new commercial - who do you want answering the red phone when it rings at 3AM in the White House? NOT Hillary! Furthermore, she is a polished and accomplished liar. She just CAN'T answer a straight question. Maybe it's the attorney deep inside, but she will talk around a point for 30 minutes to avoid giving a straight and forthright answer, just like Bill. Depends on "what the meaning of the word 'is' is"? Cmon people... If the question is repeated, she will go on and on for another 30 minutes, without EVER actually answering the question. Even the majority of the Democratic party is not so damn stupid they can't see through her. Granted, a lot of the Democratic party is that stupid, or she wouldn't have gotten as far as she did. "

Obama Campaign Finance Chair Involved in Superior Bank S&L Scandal
Superior Bank in Illinois owned by the Pritzker family. Ms. Pritzker is the Chair of Obama's Campaign Finances. Ms. Pritzker was an executive of Superior Bank during the years the bank was financing subprime mortgages to low income families. Pritzker family sold bank for millions to avoid prosecution.

" In the spirit of full disclosure, I am a Massachusetts resident and I am a Clinton supporter. Having said that, to those of you who support inspiration (Obama) over substance (Clinton), let me say this -- in my state I supported Gov. Patrick, whose ability to inspire prompted me to give inspiration over substance a chance. So far, one year later, inspiration is not translating into legislation. Nonetheless, at the level of state politics, the risk factor in making that choice was low. I do not believe that to be true at the level of national politics. As you consider the two candidates for the Democrat Nomination, it is my hope that you will support substance over inspiration. Our country is in serious trouble, domestic and foreign, and America needs substance, not inspiration, to deal with what we know and what we won't know until President Bush closes the doors and goes home. Hillary is the right person at the right time.

"

" I think I will go see her and ask if what she is telling me about Obama will be untrue 3 days after the caucus !
As a woman I am disgusted with woman's behavior!
Is she a GOP candidate "

" I love Hillary but I jumped from being independent to the Obama's wagon overnight after I watched this and read his speech over and over all night. This guy is what we probably need now to bring all of us together. So much divisions and gridlock http://buckeyewebpages.com/doanythingtogethim.html
My wife urged me to read . She is a staunch Republican . "

" Hillary has tried everything from injecting race to trying to sight plagiarism into this race. She signed an agreement that Florida and Michigan would not count for violating the rules. Now Hillary wants to change the rules because she won them both. She will do anything to win. Hillary was the only candidate that kept her name on the Michigan ballot. Hillary had this planned from the beginning to steal the vote their. It is alright to bring out what you have to offer and what your opponent(s) lack but race, religion and falsehoods should not be apart of any political race. You should want to win but not sell your soul to do it. This just shows what Hillary’s true colors are by showing support for John McCain over Obama. Is Hillary really a Democrat or a Republican in disguise? Hillary shows signs of a true Republican. Is Hillary the kind of person (not revealing her taxes) that should be in the Whitehouse I have even seen FOX news try to associate Senator Obama with terrorists (and they say Hillary had more bad press). You cannot go anymore negative than to portray someone as a terrorist like FOX news (and the Clinton campaign) tried to do with Senator Obama. Hillary never had to go through anything nearly as horrible as that. I have seen them play the video of Hillary on SNL at least 50 times yet no one has played this positive video http://youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY about Senator Obama. It seems like she is receiving much more positive press than Senator Obama is receiving. With over 30 Million views on YouTube, Google Video and others, it is easily the most viewed video in a 30 day period. I guarantee if this video is shown on the air (nationally) as much as the Hillary’s SNL appearance was, it will mean many more votes for Obama. Once looking at this video it will be apparent that he is a unifier (White, Black, Hispanic etc.) not a divider like Hillary Clinton. My fellow Americans, let us unite not be drawn apart.

Now we know that the NAFTA promise came from the Clinton campaign, her campaign actually called the Canadian government and not Obama’s people. Hillary Clinton’s people called the Canadian government and assured them that her talk about NAFTA should be “taken with a gain of salt”, that nothing will change with NAFTA. Knowing all this Hillary had the nerve to try to put Obama’s in that very position, can she be anymore deceitful than that. Hillary Clinton is trying to switch the blame to someone else for what she and her people did. For the ones who believe in the Bible, The ninth commandment states “Thou shall not bear false witness” or for those who do not believe do not “perpetrate a fraud” (lie) on someone else. Hillary Clinton has now lied in the worse possible way by blaming others for what she did. If Hillary Clinton were in a court of law, she would have committed perjury. Does Hillary Clinton even know how to be truthful? Let’s see how much press this receives it most likely will not receive half the press as Senator Obama did. STOP THE LIES HILLARY!!! Ask yourselves my fellow Americans, what has Hillary really done for America. Let us go down the list: NAFTA, The Iraq War, Whitewater Gate, Racial Jokes, etc.. Let me reiterate what I said earlier, “My fellow Americans, let us unite not be drawn apart.” Check out the video http://youtube.com/watch?v=jjXyqcx-mYY . My GOD Bless you.

" Homer, it appears our quiet little comments section is getting hammered by the Clinton team. No biggie.
Clinton's called Wyoming an "insignificant" small, red, caucus state a few weeks ago and it will revert to a backwater again tomorrow night. "

" Hillary Clinton has always played by her own rules, now she is claiming to have won Florida and Michigan, where there was no contest, she doesn't want to play and win fairly. This is not the kind of leader we need to move us forward into problem solving. She say's she has solutions, but the truth is this is nothing more than more of the same no bid contract for america. Her solutions are right from her donors- the big pharmaceutical companys. Don't let cheaters back in the White House. "

" This election is to important for this country and for Wyoming. Please go to the below site. If you have a daughter or are a daughter, please see this brief video... copy and paste

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9z-Aatd0wA

Wyoming can make a difference in this election. Wyoming was the first state to give women the right to vote... "

" I Can not support a candidate that.

1. Touts gender as a factor.
2. Is under investigation for illegal campaing finances: Paul vs Clinton
3. Supported Goldwater.
4. Involved in Whitewater controversy.
5. Claims vast right wing conspiracies.
6. Wont release their tax returns.
7. Was for NAFTA before they were against it.
8. Mandates Health Care and fines those who cant afford it.
9. Uses Republican tactics and then complains about so called tactics.
10. Has a split personality and is nothing more than a Machiavellian!
11. Did not read the intelligence reports and then authorized the war
12: WALMART where she was nothing but UNION BUSTING CORP. LEGAL W**rE!
(too many more to continue…)

" The negative comments about Hillary amount to sinful gossip only. Those who spread slanders in a malicious manner are, as the Bible says: ......
....
"They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them" (Romans 1:29b-32).
"

" I see a great opportunity here for the republicans in this election. If Hillary steals this election; by her any means necessary policy. The republicans should try to reach to all the African Americans and Obama supporters to support John McCain... Obama should not under any circumstances accept or align himself; in any way with the Clinton Campaign. He should go back to the Senate and get ready 2012. If all of us who support Obama should either vote for John McCain or sit this election out in protest of Hillary Clinton’s campaign tactics. Politically this will derail any hope for Hillary obtaining the White House in 2008. "

" Truth is not gossip.
Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. (Psa 85:11)

And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (Jhn 8:32) "

" When do we get to see Hillary's tax returns and her White House Papers? Is there a problem here.

Her claims to have been "fully vetted" might have made sense in 1994 but that was a long time ago. Her stonewalling on the release of information makes it appear that she's go something to hide. It's time for the media to do its job and get voters the information we need to make an informed decision.




"

" The substance of Hillary is to lie. Obama has the integrity to allow an aid to quit because she said Clinton was a monster, while Clinton lied about NAFTA and went negative because she can't win by being positive. Obama is the future and Clinton is using the same old tired politics. Clinton is willing to destroy the party in order to win. Republicans should welcome this. "

" If Obama had an issue with the rules set by the Democratic Party, he should have spoken out years ago. It seems petty to talk about the rules now in the middle of the primaries. The Democratic party has different methods of selecting the nominee which include primaries, caucasus, and independent delegates some of which are super delegates. I think it reflects poorly on Mr. Obama to question the process now that it might now be to his advantage. If it was to his advantage, I doubt very much he would be saying thing. Personally, I think the Democrats in the future should do only primaries (1 vote per voter).

Same issue with public finance, he says he will accept it...now he doesn't. Which is it? I guess now that he's raising tons of money, he doesn't want the restrictions of public financing. So much money flowing around, while the rest of us look at empty wallets trying to figure out how we are going to keep our jobs, pay for food, housing, gas, etc. "

1. NAFTA-Gate. Hillary Clinton duped the voters in Ohio. It was her campaign that first contacted the Canadian Embassy.

The Canadian Emabassy then contacted the Obama campaign to find out if they had a similar 'wink wink' strategy as the

Clinton campaign.
http://digg.com/lbv.php?id=5568362&ord=1

3. Rezko - Clinton campaign put out the story about Obama's connection with Rezko. It turns out that Clintons took

contributions from Rezko and associates. Obama did not.
http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/03/clintons-tied-to-rezko.php

3. Cliton Supports McCain Over Obama - If Clinton does not get nominated, she would not want any other Democrat to

win the election. She has on several occasions praised McCain over Obama. Superdelegates should be made aware of

this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHlf6nyaIwg

4. Pursuit For Power - Newsweek suggested that the Clintons would pursue power at any expense - "The conventional

view is that the Clintons approach power the way hard-core gun owners approach a weapon—they'll give it up only

when it's wrenched from their cold, dead fingers."
http://www.newsweek.com/id/114725/page/2

5. War In Iraq - Bush Snr did not invade Iraq during the first Gulf War for geopolitical reasons. Compare this 1994 Dick

Cheyney interview to what is happening in Iraq today. Obama understood this and did not believe the fabricated WMD

intelligence. Hillary voted in favor of the Iraq War because she believed it was going to be popular and she did not want to

put her presidential ambitions at risk. She did not care about thousands of lives or billions of dollars the war would cost.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BEsZMvrq-I&feature=related

6. Clinton Tax Returns - Hillary can get her staff to Xerox the tax returns. Instead she claimed that she is too busy. The

real reason is that the Clintons do not wish to disclose their use of offshore tax havens and sources of income. Publicly

Hillary has stated she wants to close tax loopholes. Clintons don't do what they preach.

" Hi Flounder,.....We need to do what Barack Obama needs to do (!) ....
get a lot more aggressive!

Hillary has no compunction about going into Obama's past and dragging out the most trivial of happenings.

If I had a past like Hillary's, I would leave the past alone! If her "experience" is based on her time as 1st lady while in Arkansas, then her experience is filled with gun and drug running, drug use, money laundering, a long list of witnesses (to their antics)who ended up dead! Dr. Samuel houston tells of Bill Clinton's cocaine use and treatment by Dr Suen at the Little Rock Medical Center. Hillary's PAST is is pretty sordid.

Barack Obama has been very gentle about Hillary's past... (I'm sure he knows of it!) He has been trying to run a campaign on the "high road". I don't know how much longer he can, with Hillary distorting HIS past.

If you have 10 minutes free, please watch "Hillary (3 of 11) does NOT want you to see these chronicles" on YouTube.com ......Usually these things are utter garbage. I don't think you will think that of this video!

Get to know the candidates! "

* WHAT HILLARY SAID ABOUT THE RESOLUTION TO AUTHORIZE FORCE AGAINST IRAQ
October 10, 2002: Floor Speech of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton on S.J. Res. 45: “My vote is not, however, a vote for any new doctrine of pre-emption, or for uni-lateralism, or for the arrogance of American power or purpose -- all of which carry grave dangers for our nation, for the rule of international law and for the peace and security of people throughout the world. …I urge the President to spare no effort to secure a clear, unambiguous demand by the United Nations for unlimited inspections. …A vote for it is not a vote to rush to war; it is a vote that puts awesome responsibility in the hands of our President and we say to him - use these powers wisely and as a last resort.”


Former First Lady and Senator Clinton has been a dedicated, honorable, serious and consistent public servant for 35 years. Virtually all of this work has been in the form of unpaid contribution to the United States. Her work has benefited all citizens especially those unable to fend for themselves. She is brilliant with a clarity of thought and unmatched depth and breadth of knowledge about issues that affect our nation. Time after time she has a demonstrated record of a hands on, roll-up-your-sleeves approach to problem solving. She has demonstrated an ability to work with and for people of all beliefs and races to achieve progress and results. She has demonstrated real tenacity, substance and a strong moral compass in all areas of her life. She has received many awards for her humanitarian efforts, she has led countless committees and teams to the benefit of us all. She has done and will do the absolute best job of leading the United States. SHE’S THE ONE!

" Five days ago, on national TV, Barack Obama made the statement, .......

"I am NOT a Muslim. I never WAS a Muslim. I read the BIBLE, not the koran. I pray to GOD, not to Allah!"

That sounds clear and precise......

Barack Obama is a CHRISTIAN. "

" So, the devil came down to Wyoming and she's look'in for some souls to steal, she's in a bind and she's way behind and she's look'in to make her a deal.

All fiddle players and registered voters beware... "

" Unlike most of the people here, I'm not going to pretend I'm a citizen of Wyoming. In fact, I'm not even sure what you folks call yourselves. Is it Wyomingians? Wyomingites?

Anyway, the vitriol I've been reading in the comments in this story and related ones saddens me as a lifelong Democrat.

Don't those of you who have posted nasty messages realize you are playing right into GOP hands?

I'm a Pennsylvanian, and in six weeks I will cast my vote proudly for Sen. Obama. Why? Because he's running a 50-state campaign and has a much better chance of defeating Sen. McCain than does Sen. Clinton.

If you don't believe my assertion, please go to www.surveyusa.com and see the results of their 50-state polling. The evidence is clear and abundant that Obama is the superior candidate in the fall.

The reality is this: At the end of the primary season, Obama will have more pledged delegates and higher popular-vote totals than Clinton. He will be the nominee, and I'm not sure what Clinton is doing in this race, other than giving McCain attack points to use in the fall against Obama.

Keep in mind, I say this as someone who has great admiration for Hillary Clinton. She'd make a fine president, I believe, and should she, by some miracle, emerge as the nominee, she will have my vote.

But the reality is this: Obama is the stronger candidate, and if it had been he who had lost 11 straight contests, he certainly would have dropped out of the race.

Anyway, that's my 2 cents. It's too bad Pennsylvania has a primary. It seems from what I've seen on TV that caucuses produce a lot of excitement.

Happy caucusing, folks, and God bless our wonderful country! "

" Hey W. Martin... Are you kidding me? Now you are going to back up Hillarys campaign with quotes from the Bible? Wow!! That Is low. She and her husband supported taking religion out of our schools, and now you want to take the very thing they have rejected, and use it as a shield for her campaign? You people are out of your minds! I would be very carefull about using the Bible to help Hillarys campaign. Last I heard, her hubby Bill was pretty good at lying and commiting adultry. Which by the way still makes me sick to think about. No one is perfect, and maybee we should all "turn the other cheek" more often.

I can't believe that we as a country would allow someone like her to get even close to winning the presidancy! She didn't have the backbone to divorce her husband after his cheating on her. You expect me to believe that she would have the backbone to run this country if we were to have another terrorist attack? I don't think so. If we get attacked by terrorists, what is she going to do? Offer to take them to her and Bills counsiling session? Yea... I guess in her little world she would just get on Air Force One and fly over there and give whoever is being Mr. grumpy terrorist leader a big ol' hug. Well..... at least at the counseling session Bill could get a break and let the terrorist get slapped around by her. "

" oh man! some of the comments here are straight up ludicrous. people who say they won't vote for hillary because she touts gender as a reason obviously haven't realized that women have been the most oppressed group of individuals in all of history... so touting gender as ONE reason to vote for her is legit in my opinion. women need a voice in our society and all over the world in general... congress doesn't give you that voice b/c of bureaucracy and the lack of coverage by big media. so if hillary is elected president, make sure all you patriarchal misfits run and hide in shame. oh and by the way, i am a male. "

" George Washington would roll over in his grave if he found out who we have to choose from.

"

" Hillary has won ALL swing states. Period! And she will be the next President! She is change we can believe in as it will actually happen! Go to this web site. It was put together by a young group, and it is not Hillary's campaign site, but it is a great site.
Hillaryspeaksforme.com It made me realize what she really stands for and how many people she has effected or changed their lives in a positive way.

And yes, she does hunt! To whoever asked earlier! She sys her Dad taught her. "

" If Hilary Rodom had not met and married Bill Clinton would she even be a candidate for anything? Bill's coat tails got her into the Governor's mansion and symbolically appointed, as the Governor's wife, to many boards. She then moved to the White House and planned State dinners, flew all over paying respects for Bill Clinton in other countries..more symbolic, not REAL leadership tested experience to qualify her for anything other than a hostess with a lot of chefs and staff at her beck and call. Finaly she carpetbags to New York state with experience now of being waited on hand and foot and with money to buy herself a Senate seat. She communtes between two gorgeous homes with staffs. Her name is Clinton, but what has she really done? Squat! She spends her 7 Senate years planning to run for president. Her senate record is weak and filled with symbolic recognition of others, no beef in any bills passed. Now she's running for the president of the US based on one thing..her husband is Bill. I will not vote for any candidate who cannot stand on her or his own feet without leaning on their spouse to achieve recognition.. Heck of a way to elect a woman. This first woman president deal is a sham. She's the wrong woman and certainly not the real deal.
"

" Homer, give me a break. Do you think one has to be paid to know which of these two candidates should be President??? I don't think so! I have continually DONATED to Hillary's campaign and the only thing I am hoping for in return is her being President. What I am tired of is all the ANTI Hillary people showing up all over the place. It is ok to praise and worship Obama but you have to be PAID to be for Hillary??? GET A LIFE!
GO HILLARY,, AND NO, I AM NOT BEING PAID A CENT TO SAY THAT!
From what I can tell, Obama is winning because of some very interesting tactics the Obama are using. I only hope Hillary supporters come out strong and stay strong!!!! "

" Here is an expose on Hillary's so called experience.

" We cannot afford to allow Hillary Clinton the chance to win the white house, particulary when Barka Obama offers such a fine candidacy to support.

Senator Clinto has demonstrated that she will do anything to achieve her goals. Sadly, this has included overlooking the reprehnesible behavior of her husband with a long line of dalliances. Ms. Clinton has willingly traded her dignity and self respect in order to stay in play for advancing her political ambitions.

America can no longer countenance such expediency wherin we willingly overlook our values to get what we want.


"

" Tina, Please don't take it that I am saying that you shouldn't vote for Hillary! You should vote for the candidate that you like,.... no question.

My issue is that it is tough to run a clean campaign when one candidate is using mud. So far, Obama has run a cleaner campaign. That's not my OPINION, it's an observable fact.

The tactic is to make Obama come down into the dirt and fight at her level. "I'm a fighter,... I'm a fighter!" ....that's Hillary's boast at the Ohio election. All she needs is a chain link fence around a ring and fight with thumbs in the eye and kicks to the ...... !

Hillary, with her sordid past, should not be tempting the Obama people to start bringing it up!!

Get on the computer.... Google "Hillary's past", ....or any phrase that means that. It's there, you just have to go see it!! "

" Dave L. and Jane, I wonder what country you're living in.....maybe not this one. I would recommend that you check your sources of information. The information you are providing is misleading, inaccurate, and full of bologne! Unfortunately, one of the problems with education these days is that kids are getting fed inaccurate information and don't always check or verify their sources. A constant struggle for teachers. "

" WHY I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR A HILLARY/OBAMA TICKET

1. I am not a loyal Dem. I am an independent who disagrees with the Clinton and Karl Rove politics of half-truths and falsehoods. I am here because I seek the type of change Obama offers.

2. We cannot have only two families running this country. It will erode our democracy and make politics even more corrupt than what it is today.

3. The Monica scandal is what I can best remember about the Clinton years in the White House. For months newspapers all over the world ran the Monica story. Bill embarrassed us all. Any self respecting woman would have left him rather than be humiliated. Hillary stuck with him to pursue her ambition. It wasn't only Monica, there were others: Paula Jones, Jennifer Flowers etc. Hillary was an enabler and never showed any empathy towards the women Bill used.

4. There were other scandals such as Travelgate, Whitewater...etc etc.

5. The Democrats had the Presidency and majority in Congress. Yet Hillary failed to bring in health care reform. Her selfish, aggressive and divisive manner made her more enemies than friends.

6. Bill Clinton lied to the country (that woman) and was impeached. By the end of his presidency Democrats had lost their majority in Congress and a few governorships, and then lost the election to none other than Bush. And today we are living the legacy of the Clinton years. To me his presidency was a failure.

7. Hillary's politics are closely aligned with those of George Bush. If the Republican Party were to offer her a path to presidency, she'd probably jump ship. "

" If you consider yourself a Democrat (A "TRUE" Democrat) you would "never",under any circumstance s, belittle or berate another Democrat and place your enemy (MCain) on a pedestal above your fellow Democrat.
"SHAME ON YOU HILLARY"!!!!!!!! "

" This is in response to those of you who claimed Hillary is weak..ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Since October of last year the media, obama camp, blogosphere, rightwing have done nothing but attack her and lie about her on a personal level, the level of viciousness that has been apparent in all these entities is so obvious and in your face a weaker person would have crumbled as obama has in this last week. But did Hillary? NO she came out swinging and kicked obama's butt, the rightwing's butt, and by far more important the medias butt. Your telling me she is weak? HA, she is the only one out of the 2 Democrats that can win the general and she has proven that. "

" Do you REALLY want Bill Clinton back in the White House for another four years, that just disgusts me. Hillary should dump the bum, show a single woman is just as good as a married one and go for it. That would be courage and I'd be all for it. Personally, I'm for Giulliani. "

" The Bush Administration has borrowed 3 TRILLION dollars from banks sponsored by the government of the People's republic of China. This debt was incurred for one reason and one reason only - TO CONTINUE THE WAR IN IRAQ.

The Bush structuring of the economy is designed to keep the oil and munitions companies wealthy; shop off American investments overseas, including manufacturing; crush wages to reduce worker expectations; distract attention from the loss of necessary services; and try to set up any successor to fail by having to raise taxes.

However, a sharp successor, knowing all this, will be able to tackle it and get it done.

Hillary Clinton cannot do that. She still does not understand the damage to the economy the war has wrought; her economic policies are just revisions of Bill's.

I believe Barack Obama can do it. I believe he understands the real costs of this war, he will end it. I believe he grasps the essentials of the global economy, and he intends to redesign our strategies in dealing with it so that it benefits rather than hurts the American people. Yes, he can. "

" Hillary was against NAFTA prior to her husband signing the bill, this fact has already been proven through David Gergan an insider whom is not a democrat. But the Obama camp did a winlk-wink with Canada

" "Superdelegates are not second-class delegates. The real second-class delegates are the delegates that are picked in red-state caucuses that are never going to vote Democratic." "

" WE WANT "REAL CHANGE" not "Xeroxed CHANGE"

1. Hillary Clinton is more of a doer than an empty talker. She does not flip-flop. She was always present in the Senate whenever a bill came for voting, rather than be absent at the time of voting and choose her opinion after the voting was done.
2. Hillary Clinton's health plan is original; not parsed and rephrased from someone else's plan. She is sincere and original. She does not plagiarize. She is a TRUE and proven leader.
3. Her spouse has been proud citizen of United States of America from the day he was born; NOT when Hillary Clinton started running for presidential election and won a few primaries.
4. She never used any illegal drugs. So she has very sound judgment to serve you as your President.
5. Her both parents were Christians and she had Christian upbringing all her life.
6. She is very experienced in domestic and foreign policy.
7. She has very sound judgment; she never threatened to bomb (strike) any of our allies in our fight against terrorism.
8. She never did any double talk, like, “End the war in Iraq, yet start another war by bombing (striking) another country.
9. She is not being endorsed by only a small segment of the population. So, she is and will be fair and provide growth opportunities to people of all genders, all colors (blacks, whites, browns, blues, red etc.), and all the religions (Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims etc. ......).
10. Citizens in Wyoming, including new and first time voters know that Hillary Clinton will DELVER prosperity (proven by another Clinton in 1990's), national security and well-being for all the people, not just for small selected groups. They should ignore the empty hype and promises of other unknown inexperienced candidate, and get real while there is still an opportunity. They should look after what benefits their pocketbook, not the undelivered hype, preachings, inspirations and pollsters and certain TV media.
11. More people learn the truth about Obama, more they are turned off by him. Throughout our history, WE always had a MAN as a President. By nominating another inexperienced “MAN’ as a presidential candidate, it will be “CHANGE” you can XEROX.
12. If you truly believe in “CHANGE” and want real “CHANGE” for better future, then nominate a WOMAN for President. Let’s bring about “TRUE” AND “HONEST CHANGE” in American politics by nominating and electing Sen. Hillary Clinton as “THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Her experienced and proven leadership will bring prosperity, good health-care and national security
If you believe in realities, majorities of voters who are looking for “CHANGE” WILL indeed at the last minute “CHANGE” their mind and VOTE FOR SEN HILLARY CLINTON IN THE Wyoming PRIMARY OVERWHELMINGLY.

" WYOMING, YOU COULD BE VOTING FOR THIS: Adisa Banjoko: What is the goal of Project Islamic H.O.P.E?

'Najee Ali: The goal of Project Islamic H.O.P.E (Helping Oppressed People Everywhere) is to help establish Islam in America by participating in the process; whether it be through social or political activism. OBAMA SUPPORTS THIS GROUP. HIS PICTURES ARE ON THEIR WEB SITE. THINK ABOUT IT! WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE MAN FROM CHICAGO?? "

" Look,... Let's face it! Obama is going to be the Democratic Party candidate!

Hillary only gained 9 (NINE) delegates on Obama with her Ohio and Texas "wins"!!

Even if Hillary were to win every state from here on out .... by a 55% to 45% margin ..... she would still lose to Obama in the crucial delegate count!!!!!

Hillary's ONLYchance to win the nomination will take place in "smoke filled back rooms"!

If she can't rig the SUPER delegate votes,.... Hillary's ONLY shot at the White House is as VICE President!!

She has expertise in that area! "

" Hillary...geezzzz! everytime she gets in a bind or knows she can't respond, she pulls out the "gender card". when have you ever heard Barack say if you are Black vote for me. His supporters don't even do it. But you Billary droids just go on and on with that mess.

As a woman, I can tell you she is making us look bad. Enough with the "crying game" whether literal or otherwise. she needs to admit to being the brains in their operation, so emasculating her husband that all he had left was to be with non-competing women. he was kerk for doing it. But please, she doesn't know how to run her own house, much less the white house. "

" John McCain won the republican race so early on, it left a lot of republicans with nothing to vote for.

Do you know what they are doing now? They are crossing over to "pose" as democrats and trying to influence voters on these "comment" posts and eventually vote as Democrats for Hillary.

The republicans know that they can not defeat Obama! Hillary will be a lot easier. Listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, etc. They talk about this strategy all the time. It's a real, happening plot.

Look again at a lot of the "over the top" commentary being posted here in support of Hillary. ..... No, I take that back.....posted here in attack of Barack Obama! .....Many of them are "fake" Democrats looking to get the WEAKEST candidate nominated. That would be Hillary Clinton!

Obama is keeping his campaign on a high level. Hillary (and her supporters learn from her!) has been trying to drag him down, with her, into the mud.... get him dirty, make him look just as corrupt as she is.

Let's learn from Barack,....let our posts stay on the high road, far above those of the Clinton backers!

Remember, a lot of these Clinton backers are mischievious republicans out to fix our nomination! "

" If Hillary is so much for children, then why did she vote against the ban on cluster bombs - these are the bombs that kids find by the roads in Iraq and Afghanistan and end up getting blown to bits - or at least losing a leg or an arm.

The Wall Street Journal praised obama's health care plan; said Clinton's was full of problems - such as being mandatory and she said she would garnish wages if people did not sign up. Obama came up with a health care plan when he was state senator in Illinois, which could serve as a model for national health care.

For the economy: The Washington Post gave Obama's economic stimulus plan an A-; Clinton a C+ (Bush got a B-).

Clinton has crossed the line by saying McCain would be better than Obama.

I am a middle-aged white woman. I had always supported the Clintons. But their lies and her sense of entitlement have sickened me.

No, I am not from Wyoming. And I am not being paid. I just believe Obama is really our best choice. For once, I believe we do not have to choose "the lesser of 2 evils". I am here because I know the caucus is tomorrow and I wanted to ask you to please caucus for Obama, for the sake of this country. I really feel Obama will give me my country back. "

" Obama will be fine on foreign policy. Consider the following:
1. January 1961: Eisenhower hands JFK the Bay of Pigs invasion plan the day JFK is sworn into office. Eisenhower is Mr. Military Experience. JFK follows the plan and two months later it's a failure. So much for all that experience Ike had.
2. October 1962: Kennedy receives "expert" advice. Nuke Cuba. Invade Cuba, etc., etc. This advice came from guys with all types of experience/medals on their chests. JFK takes Bobby's advice and does the blockade.
3. 2002/2003: Hillary and McCain are convinced that invading Iraq is a good idea. They had a lot of experience between them. That didn't work out too well. Bush had experienced guys from his dad's administration. That didn't work out too well.
4. Obama will hire experts and will use his intelligence to pick the best advice offered to him. "

" Obama offers something the others can't:
1. As Jason Whitlock from the Kansas City Star points out, one of the biggest problems our country has is that many African-American youths see the Hip-Hop/Rap/Prison culture as desirable. A significant portion of white, Hispanic, and Asian youths are attracted to this as well.
2. As Jason also points out, the Jesse Jackson's of the country provide poor leadership for the African-American community because they promote a victimization attitude. If your group's leaders constantly tell you that white people are racist and that there still is institutional racism all around, the leaders are enablers, enabling a "poor me" and "why bother" attitude.
3. I understand why the Jesse Jackson's of the world have given this type of leadership. Being born in 1941, he witnessed a lot of institutional and casual racism in his life. His generation is scared by that and it impacts their leadership.
4.Obama did not grow up with that context. He doesn't seem to be promoting the "you are a victim" mentality. Instead he seems to be saying "put down the video game and pick up a book." Not only that, he is a great role model. The lesson is: if you get an education and apply yourself you too can become president some day. His election is the ultimate evidence that us white folks are not racist and that the Jesse Jackson generation's claims of institutional racism are outdated.
5. If Obama, a black president, tells inner city kids to get their acts together, study, and become successful like me, it has much more chance of working than if this message comes from Hillary or John McCain.
6. You can give a teacher a $10,000 raise and give a kid a 2008 textbook instead of a 2003 textbook, but that's still not going to get the kid to study. I know; I'm a teaching in an inner city. However, electing Obama might get that kid to study that textbook, no matter if it's a 2001 edition. (P.S. I could still use the raise to keep up with COLA.)
7. Conclusion: Barrack can hire a McCain to advise him on foreign policy, but Hillary and McCain can't hire an Obama to motivate our African-American youth. After all, what would be the message that Hillary/McCain would be sending? Study hard and maybe someday you can grow up to be my assistant too... ?
8. Vote for Barrack now. If you vote for Hillary, she might hold office for 8 years and then we'll have a Republican in office for 8 years, and it will be 20024 by the time a Democratic Obama has a decent chance of becoming president. Do you really want the Hip-Hop/Rap/Prison culture to continue spreading to our youth for the next 16 years? Vote for Barrack and help the young find a new role model and redefine cool. Remember the effect that JFK had on the youth (Peace Corps, et al)? This is getting ready to happen again if you help it along. "

" ya'll liberals all just want a handout "

" Scott:
The problem with your scenario is that JFK was FAR MORE EXPERIENCED THAN OBAMA. He served 4 terms in the House & two terms in the Senate and he was a wounded war hero. Obama has NONE of that.
In addition, as Chris Matthews pointed out--OBAMA is only eloquent on a stage with a TELEPROMPTER. Kennedy was WITTY and SMART--unscripted at press conferences etc.
However-If You don't see any problem with Obama's clearly racist church.
You don't think there's anything wrong with a "non-negotiable commitment to AFRICA" (as opposed to the US)
And you don't think there's anything weird about Obama's links with a first cousin (Mr. Odinga of KENYA) whose SUPPORTERS set fire to a church burning 100 women & children alive.
So, if you don't have any problems with those things then I guess: Rezko, plagiarism, the $200,000 pay increase Mrs. Obama rcd. after her husband became Senator -for the same job (Chicago Sun Times) or bill-jacking ("Obama & Me" Todd Spivak, Houston Press)
WILL PROBABLY NOT CONCERN YOU EITHER.
But sooner or later, I think you will find, yours is a minority view.
PEOPLE WILL CARE--- and Obama will be done

" Wyoming,

Please choose carefully. Hillary's lack of ethics will not end with this campaign...if she's elected, they will continue right on into the White House. We'll have gridlock in government: she cannot unite even her own campaign staffers, much less the people of the USA:

" I just read above how so many high-ranking officers had given Hillary their endorsement. Doesn't surprise me at all.

Not only does Hillary understand the military and its needs, I'm VERY concerned about Obama's loyalty to the US and its interests.

Obama was born in Hawaii, the son of a Muslim foreign national who was attending classes there. He spent part of his formative childhood years in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country where "death to America!" demonstrations are commonplace. While there, he attended Muslim schools. His brother, Abongo (do a search for "Abongo Obama") is now a Muslim extremist fighting against the democratically elected government of Kenya. His church's leader, a close friend and confidante of Obama's, gave Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (who likes to call white people "blue eyed devils" a lifetime achievement award.

I don't know why anyone is seriously considering voting for anyone with such a troubling background, family ties, and church, but I sure won't. "

" Clinton/Obama '08!
Clinton now, Obama later. Hillary is the president we need now. She will roll up her sleeves and work so hard to solve our country's problems. She knows her way around Washington and the world. She is endorsed by 30 top military including Generals Clark, Shelton and Shalikashvili. I trust them & I trust her to keep us safe.
Please caucus for Hillary today! "

" Senator Clinton is the ONLY democratic candidate prepared to be president.

She's a fighter and will see that she'll get it done.

Let's go Girls!!!!!!!1 "

" Urgent to ALL Americans:

Before we start supporting anyone be aware of articles in the Chicago Times about one of The Democratic Candidates ties to Tony Resko and Louis Farrakhan.

Please investigate all candidates for the safety of America. "

" Wake up America!

We really need to study political issues and investigate our candidates before jumping on board with any of them:

Hillary seems to be the best in the following areas:
Universal Health Care for ALL Americans
Obama has not covered all of us

Hillary has 35 years of experience. Obama has three

Hillary has a fighter instinct that will win the Democratic Race

Obama has deception

Just think who you would hire if you had a business and wanted it to be safe and secure.

I have had my own business for years.

There is NO WAY I would hire someone that didn't know that much to be my partner. If my business, like our country, was in poor condition economically that would even further convince me to vote EXPERIENCE and SOLUTION.

Vote Hillary...It's better to be safe than sorry. "

" Wyoming...HRC continues to say small states like Wyoming doesn't matter...it's only the big blue states. Show her and the DNC that nothing could be further from the truth. Go out to the caucus, bring your friends and stand with Barack Obama the candidate that believes all citizens and states matter regardless of size. He is the one that believes we can redraw the political map. Go Wyoming! "

" For all the folks who say they will not vote for Hillary because she has not divorced Bill...consider this. Probably one of our greatest presidents - Franklin Rosevelt, by the time he entered the White House his marriage to Eleanor was in name only. He has cheated on her several times. Also JFK, while in the White House, his bedroom door was a revolving door. Everytime Jackie went out of town, the secret service snuck women into the WH for him. Believe the list of Presidents who created on their wives is long. Look at Hillary's policies not her marriage to Bill "

I have heard a lot of people say If this was a white woman screaming, do you think this will still be going on?

Yet a 12 years old white girl was screaming at night, Hillary fabricated affidavit for her rapist against her.

her life was broken for ever, at 12, twice raped by the man, and the lawyer, Hillary clinton.



Two lawyers are running for the democratic nomination:

If you were the one screaming at night, who do you think will defend you?

Hillary fabricated affidavit for a rapist. Thousands of those rapists now live in war torn countries, Hillary is better off defending them than our nation. She sided with her husband against all the women that her husband seduced or coerced into sex.



Hillary’s candidacy is about showing all of you women that she is one of them (men) or can do as well as they do. It is not about the women or the people of this country.

It is about her ego. I will never vote for hillary.

Congolese woman's 'silent scream' is heard
Story Highlights

Congolese rape victim: "I belonged to everyone"

Women's group says world too numb to pay attention to Congo rape victims

Congo woman now speaks on behalf of other victims

By John Blake CNN

(CNN) -- Honorata Kizende was hiding in a house when the soldiers came. They kicked the front door down and found her huddling with her five children and another woman.


Honorata Kizende can smile again after surviving a four-year ordeal that almost destroyed her life


The men asked the women if they were hiding their husbands. We have none, both replied. Then one of the soldiers said something that chilled Kizende, because she knew what was about to happen.

"Today you will have husbands ..."

The men slapped, stripped and raped Kizende. Then they treated her pregnant daughter and friend the same way. The horrific episode could have easily been dismissed as just another brutal act of war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But her story is now being heard thanks to two women -- an Iraqi-American activist and a small-town California accountant who now calls Kizende her sister.

Thousands of women will gather around the globe Saturday to celebrate the collective power of women during International Women's Day. The event also marks the third anniversary of the day Kizende walked before an audience of dignitaries in Congo and demanded justice for women like herself.

Kizende, 55, is a spokeswoman for Women for Women International, a 16-year-old group that helps rebuild the lives of women victimized by violent conflict in countries such as Kosovo, Iraq and Colombia.

The group was founded by Zainab Salbi, a 38-year-old Iraqi-American who knows something about brutality. She grew up under Saddam Hussein's dictatorship, where people who spoke out were often murdered.

See how you can make a difference

Those who speak out in Congo are treated another way -- they're ignored, Salbi said. An estimated 5.4 million people have died in Congo since 1998. George Rupp, president of the International Rescue Committee, once said the loss of life is equal to the entire population of Colorado dying within a decade.

Yet Salbi said no one is paying attention to another group of victims in the Congo war. Her organization said there are hundreds of thousands of women who have been subjected to gang rape and sexual slavery.

"My image of the Congolese women is that of a scream," Salbi said. "But there is no sound coming from the scream because the world is not hearing it."

That's because the victims are women, she said.

"We are numb," she said. "If I said hundreds and thousands of men were being raped in the Congo, the world would be outraged."

Kizende, whose story was translated for a Women for Women publication, said she was first attacked in 2001. She was the director of a technical institute for girls when she was abducted by soldiers. The soldiers not only raped her but also forced her to carry water and ammunition.

"I did not belong to one person; I was for the use of everyone and anyone who needed me," she was quoted as saying.

Salbi said rape is often used by men to send a message to the men they are fighting: "I am stronger than you. I am taking away your woman, your honor and your manhood."

"I interviewed a man who said that whenever he entered another man's house and that man did not have a gun and he had a gun, he never questioned whether he had the right to rape the man's wife or not," Salbi said. That kind of callousness wasn't just confined to soldiers. It spread to the community. Kizende could not return to her normal life once she escaped the soldiers who attacked her because she became an outcast. Congolese rape victims are often rejected by their husbands and their community. Kizende said her husband left her for another wife after the 2001 attack.

Kizende even tried staying in a friend's house, but he kicked her out.

"He said that I brought bad luck everywhere I go," she said. "When you look at my life and what I have been through, how could you think otherwise?"

In 2004, two months after soldiers assaulted her and her daughter, Kizende joined Women for Women. The group gave her job training, connected her with other women with similar stories and introduced her to an American sponsor.

The sponsor, Virginia Gately, said she received a letter of introduction from Kizende that said: "Excuse me if this topic does not please you, but I need to share this with somebody."

Gately, an accountant who lives in Buellton, California, a small town of horse ranches and wineries near Santa Barbara, said she didn't know what to say to Kizende. She had heard about the plight of Congolese women on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

"I live this idyllic life," Gately said. "I felt like anything I wrote would be insensitive."

What Kizende needed, though, wasn't words. She wanted someone to hear her story. As Kizende continued to share her story with Gately, the California woman noticed something. Kizende seemed liberated. So did six other women Gately began to write to in countries as diverse as Nigeria and Afghanistan who were also victimized by war.

"What I get back from these women is that they have a voice," Gately said. "They are not as afraid anymore."

Gately said that she's heard that some of the women even sleep with their sponsor's letters under their pillows. She calls Kizende her sister and said she can't envision breaking contact with her.

"How can I possibly stop?" she said. "I expect to do this forever."

Kizende has since traveled around Congo sharing her story with the governor of her province and U.N. staff.

Men often equate valor with soldiers in battle, Salbi said, but she sees another form of courage in Kizende.

"We do not talk about the courage it takes to say to the world that I have been raped and to stand in front of the men in her community and tell them that her pain has a mouth and today it is speaking to you," Salbi said.

Kizende, however, said finding others who listened was more liberating than telling her story.

"It is one thing to have been through what I have been through, but to have no one acknowledge it enhances the pain threefold," she said.

"To suffer in silence is the greatest suffering." E-mail to a friend

" who's the best manager? Hillary or Obama?
Their campaign management can tell us!!
1- Bill Clinton: hillary has shown us time and again that she can't manage bill on the campaign trail. She has never been able to manage bill. he has been a distraction in his own white house and she has to side with him, even when he is wrong, only because of her own ambitions. She is not a good manager on the point of bill.
2-Personel Management: Hillary is not able to manage people. In this campaign, she is pitting staff against each other because as someone said on cnn, she thinks she gets the best out of people when they are fighting each other. It destroyes the staff and she doesn't care: She just wants to squeeze staffers for whatever juice they can produce for her. When they are spent by the infighting, she gets rid of them.
She did the same for the healthcare reform that she forced bill to give to her. infighting and her love of the lobbyists' money killed the project.
3-She has tons of baggage. That it is public knowledge is not an excuse. she is going around collecting kindergarden writting of Obama and wagging it out like a trophee. We have heard it all on her campaign trail.
She can't run her own campaign, or her husband, can she run a SMALL STATE OR country? if she can't then how is she qualified to run the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD, THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? "

" I will vote for Obama.
Here is the difference between their health care plans:

Obama will negotiate with the Heathcare providers to make insurance cheaper so everyone can afford it.-Supply side economics.
Insurance will be negotiated as well so insurance companies will have to reduce cost of provision as well.

And for those who still can't afford it, the state will pay for it.

Hilary will mandate insurance that is force you to buy insurance -Demand side economics
and for those who can't afford it, state will provide .
Who is the state? you and me, rich or poor.
In hillary clinton's plan, we are still paying high $ prices to insurance and providers, only difference with now, is the fact that it is obligatory. And how will she enforce it? send me to jail? fine me? If I can 't afford it, I just can't and neither could she if she didn't have the money. Neither can ou if you dont' have the dow

I prefer Obama's plan because many countries in the world simply do that. they ask providers to lower their prices, and so the supply chain is revisited. some unecessary costs are removed and so provision is cheaper. so too, insurance become cheap. "

" The WORSE thing that could happen to this country is 4 more years of the Clintons. I feel sorry for the woman who had to resign for speaking the TRUTH, calling Hillary a monster. This country needs OBAMA ! "

" I will never vote for another clinton end of story.

remember the 12 years old girl she fabricated affidavit to rape in court? it was me. or may be it was you. "

" Hi all!
I used to love Hillary, then many of us mailed and emailed her about giving legal status to illegal immigrants! Her website stated "SHE IS FOR LEGALIZING IMMIGRANTS"! She also wanted to give NY drivers licenses to all illegal immigrants so they could vote for her this year! Here's some of her statements:

"Senator Clinton Calls for Quicker Action on Citizenship Applications"

"Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has a "Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act"

"Clinton, Hagel, Menendez Introduce Measure to Remove Barriers to Reunification for Immigrant Families "

"Clinton Calls for an Emergency Halt to Deportation of Haitian Immigrants"

She's going to bring down this country with benefits for illegal immegrants so they can support her Corp friends!

HELP! "

“Professor Obama’s Political Plagiarism”
By SusanUnPC on February 13, 2008 at 7:51 PM

This quote will air tonight at 9:36 pm est. on BLOOMBERG TELEVISION’s “Money & Politics.”
The fact is that Obama’s [economic] plan today is the most shameless piece of potential plagiarism that I have ever seen. He basically took Clinton’s words and Clinton’s policies and called them his own. If I were a professor I’d give him an F and try to get him kicked out of school for something this terrible…If I were on the Clinton team, I’d be prepping memos.

“Those covering Senator Obama’s economic speech in Wisconsin today could be forgiven if it felt like deja vu all over again. Voters may ask themselves that if Senator Obama cannot produce his own ideas on the campaign trail, how will he solve new problems as President?,” asks Neera Tanden, Policy Director for the Clinton campaign.

“Senator Obama’s only ‘new’ ideas were ones that Senator Clinton proposed months ago,” Tanden continues.
FOR STARTERS: His “new” proposal for a national infrastructure bank is one that Hillary proposed August 8, 2007.

His “new” proposal to create 5 million green collar jobs was proposed by Hillary on November 5, 2007.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt praises Hillary’s plan to create 5 million Green Collar jobs, 11/5/07:

“In addition, while Senator Obama was busy resuscitating Hillary’s policies, he failed to offer real solutions for the most pressing economic challenges that Americans families face,” writes
Tanden.

This is not the first time we’ve noted problems with Mr. Obama’s weak or “borrowed” economic plans.

" You want to check claims made by the candidates? Check out how Obama became a senator. He's a "made man" without an idea of his own or any real accomplishments anyone can point to. He was given credit for all of that legislation he claims from Illinois so he would be electable even though others did all the work behind it.

Emil Jones, Jr. appointed Obama sponsor of virtually every high-profile piece of legislation, angering many rank-and-file state legislators who had more seniority than Obama and had spent years championing the bills.

"I took all the beatings and insults and endured all the racist comments over the years from nasty Republican committee chairmen," state Senator Rickey Hendon, the original sponsor of landmark racial profiling and videotaped confession legislation yanked away by Jones and given to Obama, complained to me at the time. "Barack didn't have to endure any of it, yet, in the end, he got all the credit.

"I don't consider it bill jacking," Hendon told me. "But no one wants to carry the ball 99 yards all the way to the 1-yard line and then give it to the halfback who gets all the credit and the stats in the record book."

"

" For the lady that forgave her husband for cheating. It is one thing to forgive it is quite another to turn your back because some day you would like to be President. Facts are, it wasn't JUST Monica Lewinsky. Please show me Clinton's 35 years of Public Service. There are not 35 years of Public Service. Get the facts straight. Or, go to the respective Candidates websites and view their issues. Almost exact! Please educate yourselves. "

" To Scott:
You actually think that Obama will be good on foreign policy. He developed a committee for Afganistan and this was after he decided to make a run for presidency because he did not have any foreign policy experience. He started the committee on January, 2007 and he has yet attended one meeting. Afganistan is becoming more violent than Iraq. Afganistan is the largest opium exporter and he has not done anything to prove that he will be good on foreign policy. He is too soft and he actually believes unilateral talks with terrorists countries is the key. He wants to make nice and hope that they all get along. He hopes that his speeches will stop terrorism without sanctions, planning, and meeting with other world leaders. Give me a break he can barely take the press giving him a little scrutiny. I do not want a rookie handling foreign affairs and certainly I do not believe that the presidency should be on the job training. Wyoming residents will choose Hillary because they know at a time of war-remember we are at war with two countries, Hillary is the best qualified. Let Obama at least finish one term as a Senator. After all he was only in office for 18 months before he decided to go on the campaign trail for presidency or was it after the Oprah endorsement because we know Oprah should decide the presidency. "

" Smoke filled back rooms? What do you think caucuses are? Why do you think Obama has gotten most of his delegates as a result of caucuses? There's no vote, no paper trail, no way to find out what was promised to who or how the participants were arranged to make sure he got the majority in the smaller groups.

And if you think republicans weren't using this process to manipulate the Democratic nomination, check out how many republicans who plan to vote for McCain volunteered for Obama's campaign. "

" HIllary cannot beat the Republicans in November - remember that. They will bring out ALL their dirty laundry and REMEMBER that is a lot of it! (Maybe the reason why they won't release those tax returns!)

The Democrats will be defeated and we will spend the next 4 years paying $200 for a tank of gas! Vote for change! Vote for Obama! "

" I have a question for Hillary supporters: What kind of outcome do you envision for this election. Hillary will not win more elected delegates, and likely not win the popular vote; she will be asking super delegates to overturn the votes of the people. What do you think of that? How do you think that would affect our chances in November, and the future of the party? What does it say about Hillary that she is willing to do this? True, the more she wins, the stronger her argument becomes. But it is nonetheless an argument to commit a crime against democracy, and I think we need to understand that. "

The Democrats will be defeated and we will spend the next 4 years paying $200 for a tank of gas! Vote for change! Vote for Obama! "

Regina. You gotta be kidding me. The Republicans are absolutely SALIVATING about the propspect of Obama winning the Democratic nomination.

Let's see...who can they better attack? Hillary...who has been attacked mercilessly for years without much impact. Or Obama, who will be attacked for the totality of the following:

-father and stepfather were both Muslim

-spent four years of his childhood in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country where "death to America!" protests are commonplace and attended Indonesian Muslim schools

-has a brother, Abongo (google "Abongo Obama"), who is a Muslim extremist fighting against the democratically elected government of Kenya

-has a cousin Odinga (or, at least he calls himself Obama's cousin) who is the leader of the Kenyan Muslim extremists

-is a member of a church that preaches separation from whites and whose leader gave a lifetime achievemnet award to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan (who likes to call white people "blue eyed devils")

Do you think there might be a thing or two the Republicans might like to use against Obama if it comes to that?

Like I said, the Republicans are SALIVATING over the prospect of Obama winning the nomination. Don't think they won't be out in droves to fake their "support" of Obama, as they did in Texas (go to chron.com home page (Houston Chronicle) and read the article entitled "Does Hillary owe Rush?" in which the message is that cross-over Republicans overwhelmingly voted FOR Obama in that state.

" Obama's campaign is falling apart for sure.when his wife said for the first time in my aduth life am happy to say that am proud to be AMERICAN...WOW...am a woman born in PUERTO RICO..and raised in NEW YORK CITY... I have always been a woman happy to say am:
VERY VERY PROUD TO BE AMERICAN.,
I know for sure Obama's wife could neve stand by the Ladies of our USA.. like ELEANOR ROSEVELT.OR JACKIE KENNDY., I could go on and on....after what she said ..it makes you think where are the minds of the Obama's and In what country?? makes you want to think where his mind is at also. after all he is her husband, like they say for better or worse...Obama's is no man I as a woman would look up to..his got to many issues to become PRESIDENT OF THE USA.,. we as AMERICAN'S should ask who writes Obama's speech's?? his always reading every thing he says in all his speech's. they are not his words..who's words are they? makes you want to think who is really going to run our WHITE HOUSE AND OUR COUNTRY...
I as true and proud * AMERICAN WOMAN VOTE FOR THE BEST.,
vote Hillery she is looking out for our country and it's well being..she is a true AMERICAN WOMAN......

*THINK OF WHAT HAS BEEN SAID DONE AND READ ABOUT THE OBAMA'S. WE MUST THINK HARD THIS IS ABOUT OUR COUNTRY ...NOT HOLLYWOOD AND ACTING... IT'S ABOUT SOLUTIONS., "

" Obama and Hillary are the same person. Both are anti-traditional American values and anti-personal freedoms socialists. If you want more wastful big government and higher taxes with weaker national security vote for either of them as they are one in the same. "

" OK, she lost in Wyoming. All out of staters please go home and don't come back. Now we're stuck with Mr. Symbolism (and no substance) vice Mrs. Arkansas Mafia who is all personal agenda and no morals. "

" Unbelievable! 1 or 2 different people writing all this junk in support of Hillary Clinton. She's the Democrat version of John McSame. Time for a clean sweep in American politics. One thing's for sure, January 20, 2009 won't come soon enough to stop the wrecking of this country and its economy the Bush Administration is doing on their way out the door. It's the war in Iraq that has ruined our economy and given us $4.00 gas. What a surprise, it was brought about by a couple oil men in the White House. Obama in '08!!!! "

" Hey zorry/Proud American, if you're proud to be an American - than you can't be proud of what Bush has done to this country's reputation, or you don't have a grasp on the world view of our country. The last 7 years have ruined our standing in the world and now we're paying the price. I'm not alone when I say that I haven't been too proud of what our country has done over the last few years in the name of Homeland Security. The sheep voters of this country allowed that to happen in 2004, and a vote for McSame this year will only continue the hate and division. Do what's right for all of us and vote Obama '08. It's the ONLY way we'll get back on track to being what this country was designed to be. "

" Rance, Yes, we can all be very proud of what the Bush administration has accomplished for America and the World. Freed 25 million Iraqi's. Dethroned a criminal despot ensuring he will never return again. Freed 20 million Afghans. Created two democracies where before none had ever existed. Stabilized a previously very unstable middle east whose natural resources as key to global security and global prosperity. Led America to an unprecedented 5 year period of economic expansion and plenty after the Bill Clinton "lack of regulation" recession. Led America and the world through the dark days post 911. Brought us the consolidated Department of homeland Security that has prevented a second attack on US soil. All in the face of cowardly name callers working their bolt to embarrass the man, his office and the nation for political expediency and a return of democrats to power. Yes, we all owe George W. Bush our thanks, respect and admiration.

" GOOD JOB Mitchell, you're EXACTLY the kind of no-brain sheep that Karl Rove so easily drove into the slaughter pen. I like how you related the Jr. High justifications for the War For Oil and the ruined economy -written just like a top achieving 8th grader. 20 million Afghans? Better check your fact sheet again. Yeah, the Middle East is really stabile right now. Geez, it's hard to believe there are still broke-brain rednecks out there who think Bush is so great. History will remember him as the WORST President ever. But, we told y'all that way back in 2000, and again in 2004. I guess you'd have to own a house and drive a car, and buy groceries in the real world to know how bad this economy is. But keep living with your fantasy, the real world is too hard for little kids right now. It will be better this time next year. "

" i came here to read others opinions in hopes that the delima i face of not knowing who to vote for yet and this election is going to be real important. but i did not find that.

all across this great nation you will find some pretty smart people who live and work small family farms. they provide us with 3 meals and a few snacks a day. these people farm because they love their work and often make very little profit. they work outside 7 days a week long hours during planting and harvest seasons and seldom get a vacation but they love their work so it does not matter. they work primarily outdoors and wear hats and such to keep protected from the sun. but a hat does not always protect and the skin on their necks etc turns red. this is where the term red neck comes from the poor working class like my family was working a small midwest farm.

now we can get to the main point. you made a good point and ruined it rance. it is bigots like you that take this word "red neck" and make it into somthing offensive without any concern as to who it hurts or offends because you debate with out honor and with complete ignorance of what you say tied to a diatribe of juvinile name calling. I can think of a description that would fit rance over this but it would not pass the editors review. and i thought liberals were all inclusive kind compassionant people who would jump all over someone saying bigoted remarks and i am sure your political party is proud of you way to go. i see no diference between the reps and the dems you are all alike. with the debate i have read in here this country is not going to change.

i personally believe the only way you could ever be a bigger biggot is if you ate more. "

" Hey SF, you might want to get with a little history on the origins of words. That way your arguements would have a little credibility. Not a lot, but a little.

The origin of the word "redneck" didn't come from physical descriptions of people who work in the sun. Nice try, but your logic is a little juvenile, don't you think? The word "redneck" came from the red bandanas Union coal miners wore in the Battle of Blair Mountain, West Virginia in 1921. So, using your logic, if you claim to be a "redneck", we can also assume you're a Union man. That would suggest you also support Hillary or Barrack.

Maybe you ought to try and get up to speed on current events on your own and not simply repeat what you hear on the playground during recess at school. The only way you could be a bigger fool is if you kept on not getting informed on history and the issues - just like you're doing now. "

" union yes actually a union representative after i left the military and i dont support any of the idiots running this election. i never that is never vote straight ticket never have.

the term also refers to the poor working class and i did research it and i am correct and it is offensive and it may have other assumed originations not just the history according to rance. a history that started in the south georgia and alabama in the latter 1800's refering to share croppers who by nature of their work got sunburned necks which predates the unions in the 1900's.

i may have come from the working class family farm but i chose military service instead and would still be there if i could.

dont choke as you drink from that sippy cup and make sure you sanitize your pacifier. and try looking at history before 1921 as it gives the appearance you would rather be lazy and find the closest to now term and usage of the word rather than spend the time actually learning history. just like your doing now "

" Oh geez sf, there must be a reason why you're not stil in the military - especially when they need soldiers so badly. Hey, now I get it. You're the reincarnated Factoid, back to spread uninformed "facts" to any who might listen. That's right! You claimed to be a Nam vet and in a Union man (even though you couldn't get the amount of your dues right), and you claimed to be a midwest farmer. Sorry, but your research on the origin of the word "redneck" wasn't very good, but that's just the way you are. Try again. No, instead just Shoo Fly, don't bother me. Another paddling on the facts is all you'll get if you do. "

" i do not know who this factoid is and sf is the abreviation of starfire. my dad was a farmer i just grew up on the farm. he rented untill i was 12 and bought his own. i was born in 51 joined the army in 69 retired with a medical retirement in 89 (a certain chem exposure and it caused cancer treated and caused me other problems). i wanted to stay in the mulitary more than any thing i loved my job. i tried to get back in even if just to teach when the war broke out but i was told no for active, gaurd and reserves.

after getting out of the military i went to work for a federal agency and within a couple of years got involved with the uniion and became a rep. i predomantely dealt with unfair labor practices and discrimination complaints. and would i know what the dues were in 97 when my 100 percent service connected disability became so severe that i had to retire. no i do not remember the dues amount that is 11 years ago.

now i am a pagan activist because regardles of how any rule is set up as long as it is applied equal no problem if it is not applied equal i will get involved

i know about the scarves worn and the redneck term being used and that the union worker involver were considered the good guys. comming from southern illinois and with extended family members in the mines strip and underground i am aware of the problems associated with mining and miners still need to fight.

yet the term was used as i state first in the fields of the share cropper. but you will not ever note that because you are the type who can never be wrong. i know i am right and you have not even come close to "paddlling me" .this comment just makes you appear half a bubble off plumb.

any way you right, me right , both right does not take away from the fact that you used the term brain dead red neck. you did a dis-service to both and it was and always will be an offensive term to those people and those who follow in their steps.

i was getting caught up in the arguement i forgot what started it never again. if you or any one else uses the term as you did are offensive disrespectfull biggots that are incapable of honoring those who were here before us and what they accomplished. and if you feel you must make a gurilla assault and run like a coward go ahead. "

" No, sorry, but you're Factoid. And you learned something when I outed you. "

" not but you keep on thinkin it but what you said was a biggitod remark and you dont want to face it and you dont read well either "

" No, sorry Factoid, I read AND write just fine. You're Factoid and you make absolutely no sense. But nothing new there. Maybe you can get credit from your teachers for interacting on this site because you're definately learning things here. Obama ISGOING TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT! "

" New Playgrround Factoid... how you liking it ? Ground yourself. Become a man in Wyoming. "
