In The News: McCain, Hillary, Obama Oh My!

Let's start with McCain, it has been a nasty week for him. The allegations of tight coupling with lobbyist and the implication of an extramarital affair can't be good for his long term prospect. I learned quit a bit about him this week, I certainly wasn't aware that his past included some crookedness. Finally, it doesn't help to be dishonest (http://www.newsweek.com/id/114505/output/print) during your denial speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8lRPeFMQhs). Makes you wonder if Huckabee still has a chance?

I always hear people say Obama gives nice speeches but lacks substance. Well someone at the evil, socialists, America hating "The Daily Kos" did a little digging (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/2/20/201332/807/36/458633) and what they found was a bit surprising to me. At this point I'm really wondering if Obama is the real deal or if he is going to turn out to be a YAW (yet another weasel). Finally, I wonder how many people were disturbed by Michelle Obama's recent comments (http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5j7h3tqXBVMkt-Ig_c0Dz025_-jJQD8V053E00)? Perhaps it's time to fire her ass?

It's not looking good (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjcT_sri_2E) for Hillary and it makes you wonder (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzGbj_ERlJ0&feature=related) how it's possible to go from "top choice" to "eh, maybe?" Since delegates are apportioned she'll need to win big. Can she win both Ohio and Texas? Is she really going to try and get the delegates from Michigan and Florida seated (http://marcambinder.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/02/hrc_seat_michigan_and_florida.php)?

ABH!ABH!ABH!ABH!ABH!ABH!ABH!(Anybody but Hillary)

I was surprised that Obama won Wisconsin by a landslide, I thought it would've been much closer. Unfortunately, I get the sinking feeling that Clinton will win Ohio and Texas. Not by a huge margin, but a wins a win.

This is all for not anyway...it will be McCain vs Obama. Hillary is done.

I read the article and the one attacking his patriotism can be thrown out the window. Mud slinging, and not very good mud slinging. His problem is he already admitted to smoking pot and doing coke on more than one occasion when he was younger, among other things... so no one can really dig up any dirt on him. Smart move. He's a smart guy. Id like to give a smart guy a shot at running this damn country for once, instead of some idiot patriotic cheerleader.

Its funny because on the moral issues Im pretty conservative. I pretty much walk down the "right" line with my views of abortion, gun control, etc... and I do recognize that not all of the economic problems are to be put at the feet of GW. NAFTA and laxed tarrifs on goods from countries with low low labor rates that were imposed under clinton have a lot to do with the direction of this countries economy.

Remember when Wal Mart in the early nineties had a campaign about buying American whenever they could, so you could too? Now it's all about being the cheapest. I don't shop there anymore. I refuse. I obviously don't always buy american, but I do try to support our economy with my money as much as I can. Until something is done about higher tarrifs on imported goods from low labor rate countries, and things done about immigrants taking their earnings and sending them out of the country at an alarming rate, on top of jobs being shipped out of the states to cut labor rates by 80% or more, we're pretty much doomed.

Obama is the only one who I've seen really address the problems. I like him.

I believe the word you're looking for is naught.

N.A.F.T.A is the single worse piece of legislature ever signed into law. i wonder if any of the candidates will address this issue. i started out thinking Hillary would be the one, all the way to the white house. now, i think it will be Obama. McCain is obviously the strongest republican, but how much is that really saying? we are entering a recession, and McCain will down right tell you he doesn't know anything about the economics of our country. i don't know about you guys, but i don't want anyone in the white house that doesnt know how to do probably 1/3 of his job

the funny thing is, at least to me, if you went strictly on qualifications, it would probably be Clinton

ive only watched 2 of the debates. the last one in tx on cnn and clips of another on youtube. obama does mention nafta as being a huge factor in our failing economy.

I for one am one of those so-called "right wing nut jobs". Also, like McCain I am a veteran so I feel closest to him. But, he tends to be too moderate about things like immigration and other domestic policies. With that said, I feel he is the better choice of all of the others running. What I see the Dems putting out there is quite disturbing to me. It seems that they all want an entitlement-state that oppresses capitalism, and comes too close to socialism. I'm not down with that at all.
A funny but sad thing I experienced this past fall while on a field trip to our nations capital with my daughters' 5th grade class this past year. I couldn't help but notice all of the different languages that were heard that day. I really took the time to scan the numerous people there, and I would say that about 65% of those diverse people were foreigners. These people actually made our nations capital a vacation destination, and wanted to know about our short but rich history. These people have more of an appreciation for our country than us regular citizens. It truly is a shame that some people like to name-call and trash our leaders just because they feel like they can. I have been to several foreign coutries in my 38 years of living, and this country by far and away has all the others beat.
JFK once said, "ask not, what your country can do for you, but what can you do for your country". Wow, I'm no fan of his but that was some powerful and unselfish thing to say back then. While others are sitting back waiting for Clinton or Obama to get into the White House waiting for their checks to come into the mail disgust me. I say if this country is so bad then why is it that so many foreigners come here to start their lives over? The answer is pretty obvious to me. And ask this, how many other countries are as diverse as ours? That is another obvious one; NONE.
