That is absolute bullcrap.
Hillary has started every single thing with Barack, and has named him when she talks about it.
He only mentions what he said and defends it.
I don't know where you are getting your information, but you are clearly mis-informed.
We support Barack Obama because we support change and new ideas. I would love to have a woman be president, but if the first woman president is not absolutely amazing, it will ruin the presidency for all women in the future. Hillary is not the person to do that.
Despite what you may think, of every person in every political party, Obama has a much higher approval rating than Clinton. So I don't know how you are even trying to make your 'argument.'

Yes, you can support Hillary without attacking Obama. If you will check out their respective websites and their voting records, you will find that they pretty much are equal in the way they feel about the issues anyway. If Hillary receives the nomination, you can rest assured that Obama will be the first she asks to be her Vice President. They are both just trying to get the Democrat nomination right now (politics). But they actually are kindred in their stance on the issues. And don't worry, the Republicans do not stand a chance in '08. George Bush has seen to that.

I'm able to do so. Pointing out Obama's obvious naivete about diplomacy and foreign affairs isn't attacking him, it's making an observation important to choosing the right candidate. I'm concerned about our future too, and that is why I do support Sen. Clinton. It may well be that Obama ends up as her VP. It's the Dream Team for many Democrats. It doesn't really matter that they don't get along, that's not the litmus test for picking a VP. If the party thinks that is the ticket to win they'll work together for the good of everyone. Sen. Clinton's support keeps growing steadily, while Obama is proving those right who claimed from the beginning that he just doesn't have the resume to do the top job. Attacks from the candidates will happen, it's part of the process. But I don't feel the need to attack him, just to point out the reasons he is not my first pick for the good of America or the Democratic Party.

Well, this has happened quite a few times in our nation's history - Teddy Roosevelt and Taft come to mind. They basically ruined the Republicans' chances by splitting the vote and making the Democrat Woodrow Wilson seem more favorable. I've pondered on the same thing, and you know how politics works, I'm sure. Just support your candidate and if anyone tries to give you problems about it, remember that you are legally entitled to your own opinion.

The Pennington Household stands four-square behind Dr. Paul; Who is also the first and only political Candidate I've ever stood behind.
I'm registered with "No Political Affiliation" myself.
It may just be my opinion, but I'm not one to believe that any "liberals" OR "conservatives" really exist anymore.
I share with you grasshopper:
Remember when you were a little kid and that one time, you were in the sandbox, there with your favorite toy, and that big bully came up and took it from you.
He put the toy behind his back, and said: "Guess which hand it's in, and I'll give it back."
No matter which hand you picked, left or right, he always pulled out and empty hand...bye bye toy!
We're done the same way with all of our civic freedoms, liberties, rights...
No matter which party we pick. "Left" or "Right."
Instead of giving our liberties and freedoms back, they only pull out a new tax, fee, surcharge, or restriction of some small, insignificant, thing, that just adds yet another straw on the camels back.
DO WE REALLY NEED TO ELECT ANOTHER LAWYER?

There is no need for the knee jerk reactions to the republicans. They have some pretty reasonable more moderate alternatives.
As for me, I really wish that Condeleezza Rice would run. I am a *big* Condi fan. She has a PHD in international politics with a specialization in the middle east, plus she has been working directly in that region under the current administration.
Alas, thus far she has chosen not to run. That being the case, Ron Paul looks pretty good to me. He once ran as a Libertarian but is currently a republican candidate. He is fiscally conservative without all of that traditional right wing social agenda that turns a lot of people off. This is a combination I believe most people are really looking for in a president.

Youre concerned about Americas future and yet you support Clinton?
How the hell does that make sense?

I'd vote for Ron Paul myself - the reason for America's downfall is the almost complete disregard for the Constitution today.
That being said, who cares if you "attack" the other side? If you strongly believe in someone, wouldn't you want the other side to fail?

Of course you can, but politics has shows again and again that negative campaining and personal attacks and slander work. The last election proved that beyond a shadow of a doubt, but it's nothing new and it wont' disappear anytime soon. Try to keep the high road and more power to you.
