  •  john mccain and hillary clinton - no difference (0+ / 0-)

    i am so sick of getting candidates for our side that offer no contrast

    i like and respect john kerry - but it was, for most people, another election that we were screwed either way - he was boring and could not generate enthusiasm

    Gore, in 2000, was not the Gore of today - way too conservative and middle of the road - generate no enthusiasm and was too establishment

    now finally we have a canidate in Obama that is a clear contrast to the republicans - he is something completely fresh and their is nothing to hate about him, but here we are again ready to commit political suicide and pick hillary clinton to unite the fractured opponent

    if we pick hillary the democrats will have proven we really don't want to win the WH

      of the utter stupidity of hero-worshippers as opposed to savvy supporters of a candidate.  After the primaries, there's this thing called the general election.  I don't think Obama needs the "Clinton can't be elected" meme in order to win the democratic nomination and then the White House.  If you do ... perhaps you ought to re-examine who you're supporting.  Obama can win on his strengths.  On his positions.  On his record.  On HIS efforts, not the myriad attacks on HRC.

      The differences between McCain and Clinton are immense.  It's a shame it requires a separate paragraph for emphasis in this post.

      On point, I'm really appreciative of the diaries and posts which highlight the positions, the record and the directions these candidates have.  I'm an Obama supporter, but I frequently comment on hatchet jobs with regard to HRC.

      Let's spare our attacks for the republicans.  McCain may, at one time, have been an honorable man.  I remember resonating to some of what he used to say about taxation and torture.  He's long since adopted a more utilitarian set of beliefs in order to gain credence in the republican party.  This repubican party will break our constitution, our military and our economy.  It sells fear for the price of freedom.
