Clintons going too far with personal attacks
I'm getting very tired of Bill and Hillary doing the Republicans' dirty work for them.
Hillary is doing it now with her personal attacks on Obama. Bill did it when he was president — with welfare reform and NAFTA. Enough!
We need Democrats who can do more than just out-Republican the Republicans.

It's funny how Democrats never seemed to mind Clinton attacks on Republicans. Now that the same attack mode is trained upon a fellow Democrat these very same people are aghast. Welcome to politics Mark.
Go Hillary go!! Please win big in Penna today!! Let the Clinton/Obama debacle carry on, it's great entertainment and it will give Howard Dean more sleepless nights.

Cry Baby.
Negative campaigning is a part of American politics.
That's something Barack Obama can't change. It also puts him in a hard position when he has to go negative since he's running on optimism and hope.
I'll remind you that John Adams distributed a leaflet in the election of 1800 that accused Thomas Jefferson of being "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw, sired by a Virginia mulatto father."
It's always been here.
Deal with it.

"Now we come to that peculiar bit of Americana known as the football fight song. I was reminded not too long ago, upon returning from my lesson with the Scrabble pro at the Harvard club in Boston, of the days of my undergraduacy long ago when there used to be these very long Saturday afternoons in the fall with nothing to do - the library was closed - just waiting around for the cocktail parties to begin. And on occasions like that, some of us used to wander over to the...I believe it was called the stadium, to see if anything might be going on over there. And one did come to realize that the football fight songs that one hears in comparable stadia have a tendency to be somewhat uncouth, and even violent, and that it would be refreshing, to say the least, to find one that was a bit more genteel. And here it is, dedicated to my own alma mater, and called Fight Fiercely, Harvard.
Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Demonstrate to them our skill.
Albeit they possess the might,
Nonetheless we have the will.
How we will celebrate our victory,
We shall invite the whole team up for tea. (How jolly!)
Hurl that spheroid down the field,
And fight, fight, fight!
Fight fiercely, Harvard, fight, fight, fight!
Impress them with our prowess, do!
Oh, fellas, do not let the crimson down,
Be of stout heart and true.
Come on, chaps, fight for Harvard's glorious name!
Won't it be peachy if we win the game? (Oh, goody!)
Let's try not to injure them,
But fight, fight, fight!
Let's not be rough, though!
Fight, fight, fight!
And do fight fiercely!
Fight, fight, fight!

I'm not.

Hillary called me twice last night.
On the first call, she talked about how high gas prices were. She said she was going to take those tax breaks away from the oil companies and put it into research for alternative fuels.
That sounded great, I thought. But how is that going to make my gas prices go down?
The next time she called, she invited me to a speech at Davidson college.
I feel pretty sheepish cause she called me twice in one day and I didn't even send her a Christmas card last year.

If we're going with brian44's cipher system, what do we call this?

I found a quote to express my thoughts about all our presidential choices:
"The Ultimate in Vanity
Exploiting Their Supremacy
I Can't Believe the Things You Say
I Can't Believe
I Can't Believe the Price We Pay..."
