People that believe Edwards will back Clinton - do not understand Edwards’ campaign. The Clintons are viewed as being “buddy-buddy” with big business.

Nader had endorsed Edwards - and he never liked the Clintons.

I have no problem with a woman being president. I just have a problem with HRC being it. She speaks as if her experience was being the president. NOT!!! As the saying goes (Birds of a feather). Bill lied to the nation and so has she. Her only motive as well as Bills is to be the first woman president and his is to be the first husband and wife presidents. Period… She can’t take care of her own husbands needs, how can she take care of a nations needs? This everyone is forced to have insurance and if you don’t you have your wages garnished and fines. The insurance she says you have to carry. I thought this was America Freedom of choice. It’s seems this freedom our fathers, sons, daughters, mothers, brothers, uncles, aunts and all our relatives have fought for and lost their lives is going down the tubes to become a dictatorship. I also don’t mind immigrants in this country except when they are illegal. If you and every American and or I or even 12 million American citizens didn’t file or pay taxed would our government wheel and deal? NO, we broke the law and we would have hour homes, bank accounts, assets and every thing of value sized and our wages garnished. So, what is the difference, the illegal immigrants have broken federal laws. My wife is a foreigner and I had to give Homeland Security (certified) employment and amount of wages, value of all my assets home, vehicles and items in my home, bank accounts, life insurance policies, and all liabilities. I had to prove but giving airplane tickets receipts, purchases made in her country and hotel receipts that I stayed there. My wife had to take a physical and bring it to the she had no diseases and was in good health. And the cost of all of this is thousands of dollars. But not the illegal immigrants. Hillary as president? I’ll move to another country and retire there. This country will be worst than it is now.

And lastly,

What are you people going to do with Bill Clinton? You’re not seriously planning on allowing him free roam of the White House with nothing to do, are you?

Or, perhaps you plan to nominate him as the Vice President. (Pun intended).

Most of Hillary’s experience is as the spouse of the President. Does the wife of a firefighter claim to have experience putting out fires? Does the husband of a doctor claim to be qualified to treat the sick? Think about it. Would you hire me for your company if most of my resume was about my spouse’s jobs? You would laugh at me.

My wife talks to me about her work, and I know a lot about it, and I often give her my opinion and advice, but I am not qualified to do her job.

Hillary’s real experience is a few months as an attorney and seven years as a senator. That’s pretty good, but actually less than Obama.

Ah, yes, she did serve on the board of WalMart, so she should make sure to highlight that in her conversations with Edwards.

Plus, the one thing she was entrusted with in the white house–health care reform–was a miserable failure, and she deserves at least part of the blame for that.

Obama/Edwards 08!

Steve,

Okay, so Hillary’s singular qualification, it seems, is that she is female? And that’s enough to place this individual in the Executive?

If being a female is the singular qualification, why not support Condi Rice, a woman with far more actual experience than Hillary has?

Thomas,

Per your post to James, Okay. But can you by similar measure list Hillary Rodham Clinton’s accomplishments?

Dee,

If James, as you stae above, is eating cookies and listening to Obama speeches, are those the cookies that Hilary supposedly baked so many times while taking up residence in the White House?

And if so, is that part of Hillary’s experienced resume?

Just a question for your Hillary supporters.

First, let me preface this question with the following disclosure: I consider myself to be a strident social and fiscal conservative.

Question: “Do you consider the 8 years of Hillary Clinton’s living in the White House as First Lady as
experience?” If so, why?

P.S. Pardon that entry above–small keyboard and a mistaken tap.

Sherry,

You’re bringing up “old news” to try and prove a point in a current conversation. Since this conversation that you’re talking about happened, much has been learned about the Rezko money.

Since that comment by Sen. Obama he has released his tax returns, and made available ALL of his financial information. Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But, why would a politician be open and honest about finances?”. I’ve heard the same confused tone from MANY Clinton supporters. Since his release of all personal and campaign related financial information there has been ZERO criticism about the Rezko money. Infact, Hillary has even ditched the Rezko battle alltogether and has now changed her ridiculous diversion when asked about finances. In an interview with Politico last night (Feb. 11), when asked about her financial dealings she only responded with her questions about Sen. Obama’s dealings with Exelon. Despite the fact that Hillary co-sponsored the legislation that she is now criticizing Sen. Obama for.

I would expect that since Sen. Obama’s financial information was released, that the Clinton attack dogs would have been working overtime to find problems with his finances. I haven’t heard anything though, have you?

Sounds like a lot has happened with this since the last time you flicked on CNN to hear what to think, huh? Here’s a little more reading on the topic. Now, I think we could maybe have a discussion since you should have the current information.

I guess I don’t get the hearing aid comment? I’m a 25 year old firefighter, I’d say I’m probably in pretty good shape and quite a few years from losing my hearing. I’m glad you think I sound so well spoken and intelligently aged. Thanks
