I guess only Rethug candidates are allowed to be associated with religious wackjobs? How many Rethug candidates have aligned themselves with the likes of the now deceased Jerry Falwell or Pat Roberston who both essentially said that America provoked the 9/11 attacks by angering God? Where was the outrage when our own President consulted Roberston on the eve of the Iraq Invasion?

Many people were outraged by those things, but they don't control the media. Look at all the presidential contests since about 1988. Every democratic candidate has had a load of **** dumped on them. A successful democratic candidate has to win in spite of these things. Clinton in '92 managed to do it, but had it not been for Perot, I doubt he'd have one.

I think the conditions are very favorable to the democratic nominee this year. The economy is terrible and McCain wants to keep us in Iraq for 100 years.

I hope your right but I have very little faith after the last election particularly in my fellow citizen to make their choice for President based on his/her's issues and plans for this country versus their race or gender.

McCain's continued display of stupidity is bothersome.

Clinton's health care plan is downright scary, and she is leaning too far to the left in my opinion, representing the radical wing of the democratic party.
long to a radical right wing congregation.

McCain is going to try to scare people into voting for him. Usually works in the Republican party. No surprise at all.

And Clintons health care plan? I don't think you should worry about the the radical wing so much. Little do people know, she comes from a conservative family, and was raised conservative and became a Nixon supporter, for years. That was her up bringing. That's until Nixon said some things about King that she didn't agree with. And then she met Bill. So even though she (and Obama) have to play the game on a tight rope, it gets tricky as to where they truely stand. For any' politician runing for prez has to walk that rope. I think she'll be somewhere towards the middle when all is said and done. She has a track record for trying to get everyone' universal health care from years past.. She just never struck me as radical though.

But there's still a campaign to finish and nothing is written in stone yet. We'll have to wait and see.

I don't give to craps about the war anymore. But I do care about what's going on with this economy and universal health care. People have already lost their homes, so there's not much anyone can do about that anymore. I want someone who already has a lot of experience in politics and not someone who is virtually an unknown.

Wow just wow what do you care about other then seeing Hilary Clinton elected? This kinda of thought process is why Bush got elected to two terms.
