Hillary Ad: "Children"

Perfect dramatization as to what this election is all about! Since John McCain called himself a liberal earlier, he can also vote for Hillary Clinton.

$35 million in one month!

Hillary Clinton's campaign has raised $35,000,000 during the month of February, according to the Associated Press. That is approximately $1.2 million a day (for 29 days).

Sounds like Hillary is a stayer to me. She's in it for the long-haul.

Is Hillary really out?

The media has pegged Hillary Clinton's campaign as a losing battle. They also play up a misconception, which is her supporters have abandoned her.

Wrong, wrong, wrong!

Yesterday, at an Ohio town hall meeting, a Hillary supporter eloquently and succinctly pointed out that the media has been unfairly portraying Senator Clinton. I agree!

She has been made out to be some sort of political pariah, who doesn't know when to throw in the towel. I say to Hillary, never throw in the towel! I want this primary election taken all the way to the Democratic Convention in Denver! I want my voice to be heard on May 20. Kentucky Democrats are with Hillary 110%.

Let's look at the numbers. In the past week, the Clinton campaign has set two goals to raise money online for ad buys in Texas and Ohio. Each one of those goals have been met by loyal Hillary supporters from across the country. In essence, she has raised over $7 million in less than seven days. That speaks volumes to the momentum of her campaign.

Then, let's look at the polls for March 4 primary states. Hillary is winning convincingly--even for the media--in Ohio and Rhode Island. She is statistically tied with Obama in Texas. The media had her losing in New Hampshire by 9-percentage points on the day of New Hampshire's primary. And what happened? Hillary cleaned up with a New Hampshire win! I believe Texas will be another New Hampshire for Barack Obama.

I am often reminded of the story of the tortoise and the hare. Right now, Barack Obama is leading the race with his momentum. But let's not forget that the tortoise actually won the race, because of her perseverance, dedication to supporters, and understanding of how races are really won. It doesn't matter if you lead for the duration of the race. It only matters who crosses the finish line.

That's why Hillary is my president.

Obama Mythology 101

CNN finally broke down and reported that Barack Obama is dogged by his alleged Muslim roots (no thanks to prolific e-mails), the recent picture showing him dressed up in ethnic attire that stirs images of al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and, the one he can't shake, his middle name, Hussein. The poor guy has even been forced to explain his views--again--to Jewish voters.

What's a presidential candidate to do? It's hard to know, considering it is all brand new turf. We have never had a presidential candidate with so much unique baggage associated with him. His personal image associates him completely with the "enemy" George W. Bush has so maliciously hounded and exploited for almost seven years. I have said repeatedly that this will be the undoing of Barack Obama. Republicans are going to have a field day, if he is the Democratic nominee for president.

At this moment, only innuendo is being allowed to leak out slowly. They will ratchet up the fire when the general election season is actually underway.

That's why I'm dealing with a candidate who has been through the Republican fire and only been tempered by its heat already!

Hillary is my president

Here it is

I said in a previous post that Republicans, Democrats, and Independents will have a field day with the Osama-Obama connection, and here it is rearing its ugly-head. You can see Obama wearing a turban and other ethnic attire. What will the average, uniformed voter make of this picture? People already espouse the "Obama is a Muslim" idea. This only lends credence to their argument.

Raul Castro named new president of Cuba

In a move that widely expected, Raul Castro has been named as the new president of Cuba. He succeeds his older brother, Fidel Castro, who held the position for 49 years.

I like pissed off

Barack Obama, Hillary is pissed off, and it is all your fault!

You said you were for conducting a positive campaign, taking Washington out of Washington, and returning America to a government it can believe in again.

Ha! Ha! There's an old saying, "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts, absolutely." You've got that hungry gleam in your eyes. Your fangs are dripping with the venom from your attacks against the Clinton campaign.

I'm happy Hillary is finally upset about this whole ordeal. Personally, I've been pissed off by the Obama campaign for a few weeks now, since I first saw those campaign mailers. They don't practice what they preach, and that makes them hypocrites. "Do as I say, not as I do" is the new Barack Obama campaign slogan!

Ralph Nader (LMAO)

Is Ralph Nader out to win another presidential election for the Republicans? He's wasting his time, your time, and my time by distracting the general election away from the two plausible candidates.

Hillary Ad: "Resolved"

Sexism is never flattering

If you bother to do an image search on Google with the words "Hillary Clinton," you will find literally thousands of photos out there of the New York State senator. Some of them are flattering, while others are anything but flattering, as you can imagine.

Many people have taken to aging Hillary. What will she look like in 5 years? After all, she'll be 65-years-old. She'll have a few more wrinkles, yes; which of us won't, after all? Let's be honest about it. Then there's the picture taken of Hillary in New Hampshire which makes her look prematurely old. They say it isn't "doctored," but I'm not so sure. (You be the judge.) At at any rate, this same photograph of Hillary has been used by Rush Limbaugh, previously, as a sexist ploy against against women.

Limbaugh made it appear that it is okay for men to age, because they seemingly become more "authoritative" and "distinguished" as they age, but when a woman, like Hillary, ages, she becomes decrepit and unattractive. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) is thirteen years older than Hillary. What about him? He's no spring chicken at the county fair. He has white, wispy old man hair, more wrinkles than some of those funny looking dogs, dry, translucent skin, and he seems stiff, as if he has been stuffed with cotton. I do not believe age is important when electing a president--either a man or woman. Republicans are fond of Ronald Reagan. He was the oldest person to be elected to the presidency. If McCain wins, of course, he'll beat the Reagan record for age at his first inauguration, because, let's face it, he's three days older than God!

So Republicans, and Obama-fanatics, leave Hillary alone. I think she has aged gracefully. And she looks damned good to be sixty years old!

Clinton to Obama: "Meet me in Ohio!"

A visibly upset Senator Hillary Clinton called out Barack Obama over literature his campaign has been spreading across Ohio, which is a delegate-rich March 4 primary state. The literature covers everything from her stance on universal healthcare, NAFTA, and normalizing trade relations with China. Senator Clinton asserts that the information is blatantly false.

Hillary accused Obama of employing the tactics of former Bush advisor, Karl Rove, in his campaign. I echo the sentiments of Hillary for calling "shame" onto Barack Obama for attempting to "swiftboat" her.

Why is Obama afraid to face Hillary solely on his record in Ohio and Texas?

Obama can't make it to black forum

After voting for Barack Obama, African-Americans are seeing the true nature of Obama. Hillary was abandoned by black voters en masse, despite her strong record on civil rights. Yet, at the State of the Black Union conference, in New Orleans, Senator Clinton will be the only presidential candidate to attend.

Obama sent a letter to the conference's chairperson stating he's too busy to attend. It would seem that when the African-American base is no longer needed to win an election, Barack Obama is much too occupied to care about their causes. I think this single issue speaks volumes on his character as a leader and his commitment to civil rights issues. There are, indeed, candidates who only speak out on issues when it is advantageous for them to do so. It would seem Senator Obama is one of those candidates.

Thank you, Senator Clinton, for being a true leader, and not simply a candidate trolling for votes!

Hillary Ad: "Proud"

Hillary Ad: "Deliver"

Hillary Ad: "Level"

Hillary moves Texas, and Me

The Democratic debate, on CNN, was rather typical until the very end. As predicted, Hillary won points for her healthcare plan. Again, Obama only blubbered through his response, and at times I'm not sure what he was even talking about. I even found myself comparing his debate style with George W. Bush. He is always long-winded when he's not sure of what he thinks he should be saying. But the best part was at the end, when Hillary got the final word and the ONLY standing ovation of the debate.

Senator Clinton laid it all on the line. She gave Texas, and America, a very graphic portrait of what this election is all about, as she described visiting a veterans hospital, along with Senator McCain, in Texas. As she very eloquently and emotionally described seeing the disabled soldiers bravely coming out to greet the senators, I caught myself holding my breath and feeling my eyes well. In her very moving closing, she said that no matter who wins the Democratic nomination, the lives of real Americans are what this thirteen month long national debate has been about all along. That was that.

I think Obama wanted to put in a word--or he wanted to take a break from Hillary's new momentum--but he was shut out by the standing ovation that the crowd gave Hillary. And the debate ended there on such a grand, eloquent note.

I am proud to support Hillary Clinton for president.

What Stinks about State Primaries?

Kentucky has a closed-primary where the party loyal--Republican and Democrat--can vote for his/her candidate.

Some states, like Wisconsin, for example, have an open-primary, in which any Republican, Independent, Democrat, Socialist, Libertarian, Tom, Dick, Harry, or your dead grandmother can cast a vote in the Democratic (or Republican) race. That just seems unforgivable. What's the point of voting if the "enemy" can directly influence the outcome? Republicans understand what is at stake in this election.

I believe completely that you can sway an election, if one party's voters vote in the opposing party's primary. It's very conceivable, if not plausible. It is possible that opposing party members would vote for someone they believe their party's candidate can beat in the general election.

Republicans, in Wisconsin, and elsewhere, know that John McCain will be their party's nominee. If I knew that fact, I might want to do some meddling in someone else's affairs. After all, the door is wide open to anyone with a heartbeat and a signature.

So, let's get real about the prospects of this year's general election. A freshman senator, with about zero experience, going up against a seasoned, what-the-country-is-used-to veteran--in armed service and politics. Hmm...it sounds suspicious to me.

In Kentucky, if I want to vote in the Republican primary, I have to literally change my political party affiliation weeks in advance. I can't show up and say, "Surprise! I'm a Republican for the day." And they pat me on the back and say, "Good for you! Come on in. There's a voting booth, on the Republican side, just opening up." What a tangled web I could weave with that kind of power.

Clinton v. Obama

Tonight, the Democratic candidates will meet on stage to debate politics before the March 4 primaries. Although, Obama has the apportioned lead in this race, it is doubtful that he will beat Hillary Clinton on the stage tonight. As I have stated numerous times, he is a poor debater, which is why he refused to debate Hillary in Wisconsin.

Just watch and see...

Serbs protest independence of Kosovo

After Sunday's declaration of independence, Kosovo, the former province of Serbia, has received some attention from the international community. It has garnered support from the United States and European Union, but at the same time it has won the disdain of Serbia, Russia, and China.

Serbia's prime minister, Vojislav Kostunica, has vowed to stop what he calls the "illegal" actions of a renegade province. The United Nations will not be able to declare Kosovo an independent nation, considering the Security Council is divided on the issue. Russia and China will refuse to allow Kosovo to join the United Nations under current conditions with their Security Council veto power.

Violence has erupted in Belgrade where protestors have stormed the United States embassy, and even set the building's facade on fire. Kosovo is the birthplace of the modern Serbian people, which is why the people of Serbia feel so strongly about it leaving Belgrade's control. The majority of people in Kosovo, however, have sided with Albanians on the issues of ethnicity and religion.

Will Kosovo ever be completely independent? Without reaching some sort of compromise with Serbia, on the issue, it is doubtful.
