Well since I pose this topic I think it is only fair that I respond. We have here essentially 2 candidates that are poised to make history no matter which of them wins. Even though England has had a woman Prime Minister since whenever, America, the land of the free and the home of the brave has not achieved this milestone. I would like to see the best man/woman for the job elected. And the only way for this to happen is for us to open our minds, free them of deep-seated biases and vote for the best candidate. I too admire clinton, she is knowledgeable regarding policies, but a little distant. Obama, on the other hand while unexposed to foreign policies, and lack of experience, evey candidate for the white house so far has never been a president before. So how can one gain experience but to be given a chance to prove onself.

PS! Would it not be awesome if they would agree that whoever wins they would elect the other VP? Imagine those two brilliant minds together! We will all win then.

nurz4life: what a great idea! I think either one would be a vast improvement over what we have now. May the best man/woman win.

Difficult decision! I'll probably vote for Hilary Clinton for lack of a better choice......

I think it's funny that Ms Clinton, second place runner, offered Obama the vice presidency. I just fear the next term. We need someone to whip us into shape and the idea of all these new taxes just bums me out.


Please don't pay any attention to my misspelled words or typos. Sorry I'll try harder next time.

Too bad y'all don't remember how Bill Clinton got into office, all the hushed up scandals like Vince Foster. In a supposed Christian nation how does a Muslem rank, huh? You are nurses...remember? Research,research. Do your own investigations before you let a slanted media choose for you. Research the implications of Hillary's national health care agenda from the 90's. Was it good? You decide. Obama's roots extend beyond a "Christian" front. Just because you've arrived(RN) doesn't mean you forget your roots. Oh yeah, McCain,like I said, you be the judge and vote your conscience, not your emotions. 'Nuff said

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion; as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion, or tranquillity, of Mussulmen; and, as the said States never entered into any war, or act of hostility against any Mahometan nation, it is declared by the parties, that no pretext arising from religious opinions, shall ever produce an interruption of the harmony existing between the two countries."

The above is Article 11 of the Treaty of Tripoli, signed in 1796 and ratified by Congress in 1797. It was written and signed under George Washington's administration and it was ratified during John Adam's time in office.

This country was founded on religious freedom and I resent this continual diatribe it is a "christian nation" Most of the founding fathers of this country were deists. I also resent someone is assuming I let the media choose for me. I am a very intelligent, well read WOMAN who makes her own decisions.

Hillary's willingness to lie about her war record, and her breaking her agreement with Obama not to campaign in Michigan and Florida bothers me. I think she's a strong woman who can play hardball, and that's OK. But she has no integrity, and that's not OK.

Okay... I guess I'm not up to speed with politics so I have to ask. What did you mean with "Hillary's willingness to lie about her war record"? Can you clarify what this is about?

Ms Clinton has been misquoted, under greater scrutiny and criticized far more than all the other candidates put together. You're thinking.........why is she calling her Ms Clinton? Because I am treating her with the courtesy we've all afforded the male candidates by calling her Ms Clinton, rather than the familiar Hillary. No one calls Obama by his first name, Barack.

I think a great deal of what we're told is what the media wants us to hear. None is unbiased, none is completely the truth. I only believe half of what I read anyway and even less what I hear. IF Obama and Clinton made that agreement theala, then they were both stupid. I can't imagine any candidate to agree to not campaign in particular states, nor can I imagine another candidate asking for this favor.

So true. The male candidates are referred to by their last name whereas the female candidate is referred to by her first name. Showing deference to the male. Goes to show she's truly fighting an uphill battle at many levels.

cd, how about we have a health care proffesional run our country for one term. Lawyers, actors, and a few idiots, have tried to run this country for 200 years and it's time to give the hardest working proffesion a wirl for one term.

Al. This is an excellent idea but with the hours that go into this career, how does one go about getting into the political arena? Hmmm... sure would be interesting though!

starhammock, I think you are so right. I will not vote for Hillary or Obama. They are two bad choices all the way. I dont think anyone should vote on one person just because of the healthcare issue. That is only one issue out of many. Hillary flops on every issue that suits her at that specific time or poll. Bill Clinton put into practice partial birth abortions and she feels the same regarding that. If healthcare is a big issue what about that one? Obama is worse in my opinion. He is associated with radical Muslims. His mother and step father are jewels themselves. She is an atheist and he is a radical. Obama does not use the Bible but the Koran nor does he acknowledge the American flag or the Pledge. What kind of Patriotic President would that be. I wanted to vote Dem. this year but with those choices I have to go Rep and go for Huckabee. The Dem. runners are trying to use smoke screens to get elected and people need to open their eyes to what is really going on and what these people actually stand for and are about. I dont vote on a person because of gender or race or even possibly making history. I vote for what is right, or close to it. My values, beliefs, and morals will not allow me to vote for the Dem nominees. But the moral of the post....Vote for what you beleive and change will happen!! God Bless America

You may want to actually check facts before making statements such as you have. Failure to verify facts and carry forth the mistruths we are inundated with by the media and the mis-informed is irresponsible!

I did hear that Hillary said that the reason our healthcare expenses are too high is because of Rregistered Nurses salaries.  Just because she follows a nurse around for 2 hours does not mean she understands the difficulty related to being a nurse.  I believe that nurses are far underpaid not overpaid.  She has lost my vote.  I am voting for Obama.

I'm a Demacrat all the way,But I just don't know. I think Obama has good intentions,  he has new ideas and he sounds refreshing,but I think he's gonna get cut off at every turn. Hillary is a tough cookie and she knows her way around the block( Pennsylvania Ave) but she sounds like the same old same old. I'm just not sure. I would love to see either one in the White house. Who ever gets the job is gonna have their work cut out for them. Its gonna take four years  just to clean up the mess we're in. So my prays are with who ever gets the gig.

Hillary is the most qualified candidate but I think she has been robbed of the nomination in the long run by the biased media and the lemmings that  have been comfortable enough to sit in front of their televisions and let the press tell them that a woman can't be a good president.


An ineffective leader doesn't support success.
A good leader inspires success.
A great leader has a team that succeeds without knowing they were helped.

 I just got this and could not stop laughing, for those of you who like Hillary.


<!--StartFragment-->



 
           A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

 

He asked, 'What are all those clocks?'

 

                   

St. Peter answered, 'Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie the hands on your clock will move.'

             

'Oh,' said the man, 'whose clock is that?'

                   

 

That's Mother Teresa's. The hands have never moved, indicating that she never told a lie.'

             

 

'Incredible,' said the man. 'And whose clock is that one?'

                   

 

St. Peter responded, 'That's Abraham Lincoln's clock. The hands Have moved twice, telling us that Abe told only two

lies in his entire Life.'

                   

 

'Where's Hillary Clinton's clock?' asked the man.

                   

 

'Hillary's clock is in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.'
