Hillary and her childish remark

Recently, Hillary Clinton responded to a comment made by Carl Rove.....

As Democratic hopefuls held a debate in Iowa, Rove appeared on three Sunday morning talk shows and stepped up his criticism of Clinton, the New York senator and former first lady.

“She enters the general election campaign with the highest negatives of any candidate in the history of the Gallup poll,” he said.

“It just says people have made an opinion about her. It’s hard to change opinions once you’ve been a high-profile person in the public eye, as she has for 16 or 17 years.”

Clinton, at the debate, responded to Rove’s criticism by saying: “I don’t think Karl Rove is going to endorse me, but I find it interesting that he’s obsessed with me.”

I consider myself a pretty decent observer of people and personalities. Her response to me suggests she has the personality traits of a snotty little brat around the age of 11-13. I don't think I have heard anything so childish from a person of her age, and she turns 60 this year mind you.

I think this gives considerable insight to just the type of person that she really is. Shallow, unsophisticated, classless and petty. Obvious she is lacking in the necessary discipline that it would take to be the President of the U.S. let alone the first woman president. Should ther ebe a female president? Why not. Should it be her?

Absolutely not.

She bought her way into the senate. She purchased a residence in a state she had never lived in, in order to run for the senate in a state where there would be no real threat to her campaign for the senate.

She also happens to reside as a senator in a state that hsi heavily populated with puerto ricans, whom her husband famously tried to grant presidential pardons to, before he got caught trying to sneak that one in and it was vetoed. They were terroristic millitants. An extremeist group from Puerto Rico.

She know lauds herself as the woman for the job while pointing out a man must not be good enough. "Sometimes the best man for a the job is a woman" - Hillary's own words.

My ass.

She calls the republican presidency and leadership a disaster....allt he while the democratic leadership has been far more disasterous in that they have speant allt hier time aimed and fighting the president and absolutely NONE and getting anything in done in the congress and senate. You know like passing bills and legislation to fix problems? The thing we elect them for to begin with ? The Democrat controlled congress has a lower approval rating than even the president.

Elect Hillary and it WILL be a disaster.

Rudy Giuliani, the UN-American...patriot?

Giuliani: Helping Citgo helps U.S.
Venezuela-owned company hired his law firmMarch 19, 2007
BY BRENDAN FARRINGTON
TAMPA, Fla. — Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani on Sunday defended his law firm’s role in representing Citgo Petroleum Corp., which is ultimately controlled by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying it was helping protect American jobs.
Giuliani said his opponents will try to exploit the news and acknowledged a lawyer with Bracewell & Giuliani of Houston has been representing Citgo before the Texas legislature.

The firm has had a contract with Citgo since before Giuliani joined it.

”Oh, they’ll exploit everything,” Giuliani said in an interview. ”It was one of those political attacks where you have nothing to do with it, you’re not involved in it and so it doesn’t really worry you very much. What they’re doing is lawful and honorable and helping to protect jobs for more than 100,000 Americans.”

Although Citgo Petroleum is a U.S.-based company, it was bought in 1990 by Petroleos de Venezuela, the national oil company of Venezuela. It employs 4,000 people in Texas and other states, and Giuliani said indirectly more than 100,000 people have jobs because of the company.

Chavez has been an outspoken critic of President Bush and is close to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. AP

So who woulda thought huh ? The guy responsible for resatoring order to chaos in the 9/11 incident....backs the anti-American, Venezuelan Hugo Chavez....I ca't see how you're going to get far in political circles making moves like this. He doesn't like us, we don't like him....cut his *expletive* out of the picture. Stop importing Venezuelan oil, get the coporations that use it at their ga stations to switch to another source of petroleum and be done with his antics once and for all, but for pete's sake... don't represent the moron while running for president.... Rudy I think you need a new strategist if you're goingt o make it in the primaries elsewise the liberals will eat you alive just on this one main issue alone. I guess I can say at least you try to be diplomatic with foreign goverments as opposed to "Take that Iran, take that Venezuela" Hillary Clinton...

And now for somethin a little funny :



And Barack's full name actually is Barack Hussein Obama Jr. His father is Kenyan and his mother, white.

The Candidates

This is just a short little post after reading a few articles on different websites about some of the more prominent serious candidates.

Mitt Romney.....Not too sure what to make of this guy yet, I haven't really found much controversy about him.

Barack Obama....My only issue with him really is his freshman status. The guy really lacks any genuine credibility and experience to handle the Presidency, not to mention I don't think Americans find his name too appealing and I just don't see him getting elected. Personally I like the guy.

Rudy Giuliani....Rudy made a pretty good case for himself in the handling of 9/11.

Hillary Clinton......to quote Home Improvement's Al Borland "I don't think so Tim."
She's already comparing herself to John F. Kennedy and she's far from it. *Note to Hillary*: Kennedy didn't purchase real estate in another state in order to seek election. Not to mention it was a matter of time before she decided to play the "female" card.

John Edwards.....Maybe it's just me but this guy seems to me to be pretty fake. He slings a lot of mud while calling for a clean fight. Pretty contradicting.

John McCain seems to be a pretty down the middle guy but at times to me his thinking can lean out there to the extreme side. He's pretty well grounded yet somewhere out of the blue will come something preposterously crazy from this guy.

Dennis Kucinich...goes from the Reverand Al Sharpton to John Kerry to well who knows this time, but need I say more?

Joe Biden....Joe Joe Joe .... I think you revealed a little too much of yourself with those comments and shoddy explanation regarding Senator Obama.

I know there are a few candidates I haven't listed but that's due to my lack of knowledge about them and it wouldn't be fair for me to offer up any sort of opinion on them at this point.

Who I think will make it down to the final 4:

Giuliani/Romney vs. Clinton/Obama

alternately

Giuliani/McCain vs. Clinton/Edwards


I only see Obama staying in the picture in the case Hillary Clinton makes it all the way , he would be then the compliment to get the rest of the votes she needs to seal the deal. Edwards doesn't have the staying power but he could be a sleeper. He could surprise us all...I think....

Giuliani I see as a lock thanks to 9/11 with Romney being his best first choice to compliment his run, Giuliani/McCain may be viewed by the left as far too involved as one being a former Vietnam vet and the other being the 9/11 mayor, thus Romney would be the better fit to balance out Giuliani.

Far Right, Far Left, and Extremists in General

I simply don't understand these people. As I was reading some of Nate's thoughts about some of the blog postings he had reviewed it occured to me I needed to make another post for the day. Let me do a little copy and pasting so that I may explain myself:

Mitt Romney is set to announce his
candidacy formally on Tuesday the 12th:
Boston, MA - On Tuesday, February
13, Governor Mitt Romney will travel to Michigan, the state where he was born,
to declare his intention to seek the Presidency of the United States of America.
Governor Romney’s announcement will be streamed live on Mitt Romney.com at 9:00
a.m. EST.

To watch Governor Romney’s announcement, please click the following
link and pre-register to receive a reminder on the morning of the event:
http://www.visualwebcaster.com/event.asp?id=37812

Some local blog roll reaction to Romney’s announcement:
The
Right’s Field:
Mitt Romney launched a fire-storm today by announcing his
decision to announce his presidential candidacy at the Henry Ford Museum in
Detroit. Ford was a legendary anti-Semite and Romney’s decision has already
sparked condemnation by the National Jewish Democratic Council. Romney’s
decision is in the tradition of Ronald Reagan’s announcement of his candidacy in
Philadelphia, Mississippi, where three civil rights activists were murdered.
Reagan’s announcement was seen as a signal flair to the white, conservative base
in the South; who is Romney trying to reach by announcing at a museum honoring
one of America’s most notable anti-Semites?

Nate's Response : Sure,
that’s it. Ronald Reagan was racist and Mitt Romney is an antisemitic. Maybe
Romney is trying to signal to Democrats who don’t support Israel’s right to
exist. Maybe Reagan was signaling to Robert “KKK”
Byrd, Democratic senator from West Virginia and former Ku Klux Klan
member.

Political Buzz:
Romney
‘08 will officially launch tomorrow in Michigan - Romney’s native state. But
does anyone really care? Well, besides the Jewish group that is blasting Mitt
over his campaign launch location.

Nate's Response: OK,
c’mon. Seriously here people, does anyone believe that Mitt Romney chose the
Henry Ford Museum to show his support for antisemitism? Really?
Anyone?

Ok then, this is where I take back over. I am in complete agreement with Nate on these comments. I mean what in the wide world of sports are these people thinking making these sort of judgements? Granted you are entitled to your opinion, but c'mon where is the logic and reason, the sanity? I don't profess to know much of Mitt Romney but I'm educated enough to know symbolism when I see it. The reason Romney chose to make his speech in Detroit at the Henry Ford Museum because Henry Ford symbolizes in minds of most normal people, an honored American. Romney is attempting to return to the older grass roots of America in making his announcement here. It would be like going to Minnesota, the birthplace of Charles Shultz to give a speech on Charlie Brown....unless you extremists think there would be some Nazi motive behind it because Shultz has German ancestry.

Ronald Reagan racist? That's a pretty far stretch.I can't even begin to explain this one....it's just too ridiculous. I am from Mississippi, I live not 2 hours from Philadelphia, MS. Let me explain something to you extremists about Mississippi. We are not a racist state. We do not have severe racial issues here as there were in the days of Chaney Goodman and Shwerner, the 3 who died in Philadelphia. As you should be figuring out about now, I do know my history and I certainly do know the history and current nature of my home state. We have enough problems of our own trying to convince the rest of the world we don't have anything to do with the racist idiots that plague our world, like the KKK, Nazis and such. These people are inadvertently connected to us because of our state's past. But I have news for you. It's in the PAST. Connect those people with themselves as they have their own individual reasons for why they have their beliefs and I promise you it has nothing to do with Reagan announcing his candidacy in Philadelphia, MS, or Mitt Romney announcing his candidacy in Detroit.

Disregarding Hilary, Regarding Rose

I'm sure many of you have seen the latest media coverage about the elderly woman who was accosted by what appeared to be a black male. This man savagely punched and knocked down a 101 year old woman for $33. This same person is believed to have mugged an 85 year old woman for merely $32. Attacks like the one on 101 year old Rose Morat are simply sickening. So this brings me to something I gave quite a lot of thought to late last night. The Evolution of Man.

Man begins being raised by his parent or parents, have they not become a ward of the state first. In the beginning, parents are supposed instill morals and values and discipline their child so that they will become a well rounded individual. This is where the first major failure occurs. Parents do not pay their children enough attention and do not properly discipline them. From here children enter school and begin to learn about societal values and educational values. As the child becomes more aware of his or her self as an individual they begin to place values on things such as homework, sports, good grades, toys, etc. They are beginning to learn. Now we have a joint operation between educator and parent to mold this young mind and continue sculpting a well rounded educated individual. But alas here again failure ensues at certain levels amongst a high rate of individuals. Some educators give it their all while some merely show up to put in their time and have that"I'm not here to babysit your children" mentality. To these educators I say: "You're wrong, not just wrong but DEAD wrong." Your job is to insure that not only does my child receive the proper attention and education they are their to receive, but your job is as well to establish a personable, agreeable bond with these children so that they properly respond to you and in doing so their performance reflects upon it. I'd be rich if i had a nickel for every "evil wicked teacher" story I've heard. Moving on to the next phase in life, as these children become teenagers, society becomes more of an ever present influence with the aide of mass media such as television, clothing and fashion ads, teen magazines etc. as well as young friendships and young relationships. Then our child graduates into the big wide world of confusion and chaos. High school is over. Now its time to pursue a college education, a career and they take with them the basics of politics they have learned in high school. These young adults begin to foster their own political beliefs, albeit mostly based on that of their parents' beliefs but not entirely. These young adults begin to participate in elections at the age of 18.Now our politicians are picking up where parents and educators left off. Some may call this a leap, but I can't see how. I see it as natural progression of influences. Politicians carry the torch at this point because they represent us, they are responsible for upholding some of our morals and values (Or at least that's what's supposed to occur but often we find it's not the case) and it's why we choose to elect them. They are supposed to provide leadership and guidance.

So to recap the natural progression of influences, in my opinion works like this:

1. Parents
2. Educators
3. Society at large (Friends, Relationships, Mass media Etc.)
4. Politicians

You learn first how to walk , talk and eat, then the who what when where why and how, then the what's in and what's out, then the who I'm for and who I'm against and who best represents me.

Now that we have this established I move further on to a press conference held by Senator Hillary Clinton Rep D NY. And this is where I get aggravated. It's no big secret that I hold very little respect for Senator Clinton. senator Clinton holds a press conference to convey her dismay at the mugging incident involving 101 year old Rose Morat. It was a terrible thing to have happened, this mugging incident....but then a politician, who happens to be a candidate for the presidential election in 2008, decides to use this incident as part of political maneuvering to garner votes. I am running for president, I feel sorry for Rose, I am compassionate, vote for me. So now we have a perfect example of how politicans choose to cast thier influences, and in this case fairly poorly.

Hillary, your tactics disgust me. First you ignore the indiscretions of your presidential husband in front of the entire country and then stand at his side and support his philandering ways., then you purchase property in a state you've never lived to run for the senate to represent a people that you know nothing about, you aren't one of them,you can't possibly accurately or fairly represent them, that's like my going to England and running for office. To top it off you then recently hold a press conference comparing yourself being a female candidate to John F. Kennedy's being a Catholic....ARE YOU INSANE? You have accomplished NOTHING politically to compare yourself to that of John F. Kennedy. The only thing I seem to have seen you accomplish is trying to portray yourself as a worthy FEMALE candidate trying to garner the FEMALE vote. How can you honestly expect to garner the majority female vote after defending a man that broke your vows of marriage? You may collect the votes of some ultra hardcore man hating feminists, but that's probably going to be the gist of it. I hope Barack Obama wipes the floor with you in the Democratic primaries.

Lift Off

Houston....we have a problem. A SERIOUS problem. America has grown angry. Partisan politics combined with an ever increasing invasive and persuasive media is ripping our country apart. What happened to brotherhood? What happened to living in a country founded on the idea of being tolerable to the opinions and belief systems of others? What have we done to ourselves? Well it would seem to me that somewhere along the way we got lazy. We let politicians get away with all sorts of shenanigans. We let people with power and money effect our way of thinking. We let the media start making decisions for us.

Now on to more distressing issues....partisanship. How many people actually have committed themselves to a political party solely because of the environment they were raised in, in other words, mommy and daddy were liberal or conservative, soyou naturally assume the same political belief? it's pretty muchthe standard. Although it's not uncommon for offspring to deviate from their parents' political views. Partisan politics is getting so completely out of hand I don't see how anyone, could really claim to be proud to be a member of either party this day in age. But they do. And I'll tell you why. IGNORANCE.

People do not understand for the most part what they are placing belief in . I've seen message board after message board after message board full of useless diatribe that just goes back and forth forever about who's party is better. I got news for these people. This is merely my opinion and my own generalized figures....90% of them are absolutely clueless on what their party stands for, what their party views are and what the politicians who are affiliated with these parties are actually all about. I will tell you what they DO know. The Average Joe knows what the media tells him. Average Joe knows the commercials and ads, Average Joe knows political jargon. Average Joe knows what others want him to think. In conclusion , Average Joe doesn't know jack. I'm not by any means trying to insult the American public at large, but by far the American public is truly ignorant to the facts, some by their own device and largely due in part to media influence and propaganda. I bet you 60-70 % of people who claim to be active in following politics today are clueless to what propaganda is. Let me fill you in.

Propaganda is designed to fool you into believing what someone else wants you to believe in order for them to make a personal gain at your expense. Still talking over your head? I can break it down a little bit simpler for you: Neil pays News Network A to air negative ads about his opponent, Bob in the upcoming election. Average Joe watches these ads and believes in these ads, because Average Joe figures its on TV, they wouldn't air it if it weren't true. In retaliation, Bob pays another Network B to air the same type of negative ads against Neil. In the end one of these boneheads gets elected into office because Average Joe was so busy paying attention to the negative ads, he doesn't really know for sure where either politician stands on the important issues. Average Joe doesn't really have a clue who the best candidate for the job is. And we all pay for it. We get lame duck politicians, and the issues never get dealt with in a reasonable manner or frame of time. This ladies n gents, is why we end up with what we call lame duck congresses or lame duck presidents. We get a president of one political affiliation up against a congress whose majority is of another political affiliation and nothing gets accomplished. We pay these people with our hard earned tax dollars to royally screw up our country by wasting time arguing amongst themselves rather than deal with the issues, and why?

PARTISAN POLITICS

These idiot politicians are far more concerned with their party affiliation, their jobs and their bank accounts than they are with the people they are elected to represent. Not to say there aren't a handful of politicians who actually do their jobs because there are, but a handful can't overpower a majority.

I'll leave you all today simply with this: I am NOT a liberal, a leftist,democrat, a conservative, a neo con, republican, or any other ridiculous names that come up in the political junky circuit. I'm an American. And a damned angry one at that. Next time you vote, don't vote based on party affiliation. Vote based on the issues, voted on what best for your country. You don't live here by yourself, we all live here together, your vote affects me and mine affects you because it determines what idiots we're going to put into office and run our country.And for you forum posters out there who chase each other around with your witty criticism.....The insanity must stop. You people are fighting each other to the point of hatred and you forget that you are Americans on both sides of the political war field. You forget you are not competitors in a fierce battle. You forget you are in fact brethren living in the same free country. By all means express yourself but for Pete's sake stop inciting a riot over each other's opinions and beliefs. You'd make much better use of your time bouncing ideas and opinion off of each other in order to obtain a better working knowledge of what really is going on. Step up from Average Joe to Educated Joe. http://www.youdecide2008.com
