Your opinions please?
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) seems to have Sen. Hillary Clinton right where he wants her. Her campaign is constantly reacting to what he does.
This includes her recent appearance in Selma, Ala., in which she reinvented her own past. Clinton, speaking at Selma's First Baptist Church on the 42nd anniversary of the "bloody Sunday" freedom march there, declared: "As a young girl [age 16], I had the great privilege of hearing Dr. King speak in Chicago. The year was 1963. My youth minister from our church took a few of us down on a cold January night to hear [King]. ... And he called on us, he challenged us that evening to stay awake during the great revolution that the civil rights pioneers were waging on behalf of a more perfect union."
That all sounds great, except that the young Hillary went on the following year to become a supporter of Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, who opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Hillary has just about talked herself out of the nomination for the Democratic candidacy.
I believe she is much too polarizing with her lies, scandals, and flip-flops. She cares about no ones rights but her own.
Hillary is selfish and power hungry. She is more for oppression than freedom of any people.
I believe Edwards will get the nod.

Actions speak louder than words. One only needs to look at how the White House and the First Lady treated several women who made serious claims against President Clinton. The accusations included violations of their Civil Rights.
The women were:
Threatened
Audited by the IRS
Dismissed as "liars" in the press

"Champion of HER OWN Civil Rights"
Hillary is a champion only to her self-serving needs and wants. Acting and flip flopping is just a way to service that.

She's a champion of whatever issue the group she;s talking to wants her to be champion of at the time and place she's addressing them.

She's simply pandering. Isn't that what they all do? I'm sure in her own feeble mind, she sees herself the champion. The rest of us -- or at least those with a brain see her as a great slave owner. Her social programs will only serve to enslave all who fall into them. A classic example are those so-called "Katrina Victims" of New Orleans. They sat, waiting for their government. They'd forgotten how to rely on themselves. In the end, starting with the local and state governments (first and foremost) -- all democrats, they failed their people miserably and managed to kill more citizens in a few short days than our military lost in over two years of fighting in war.

Nobody fought the civil rights act of 1964 harder than Al Gores Daddy. Hillary is a champion for Hillary and that is all.

Why she voted for the 1964 voting rights act, you can find proof in her unavailable archives and her billing records. The FBI Files are a problem too
