the old white boy's club of forever.

Don't let that woman thing fool you, she likes war and coups and scraping more cash for the ultra rich. Her speeches on humanitarism do not include the people of Iraq, or Iran and elsewhere where she did her stupid 'tough' decimating talk.

and reigned terror and suffering on Iraq for his whole two terms. He took the reins from George the Elder and handed off an even more weakened Iraq to George the Chimperor to finish off.

so when Hillary speaks on humanitarism, somehow I can't quite believe it.

when you got nothing, you can always yell out misogyny. and that is really a shame.

Hillary either accepts Bill's history in the WH as her own or rejects it. She can not pick and choose to her liking. That is not misogynistic and I'm disappointed you take it so.

If the Congress will look by then more Republican, who would really want to run as a Democrat? And looking at the other side, I don't see anyone inspiring a lot of cheer.

So we just might have differences of opinion. It might be hard to decide what we want.
The right choice is almost never easy.
OK fine.
Just keep in mind that whatever we can agree upon WILL be preferable to whatever crawls from the wreckage of the next Teapublican clown car demolition derby.
Or for that matter, if they go with the "duck tape plan", what ever well hyped great champion the GOP springs from a cardboard box a week or two before the election.

I say this now. For want of a better Democratic choice...........
Anthony D. Weiner the 45 president of the United States.

I still hold out hope of his return to politics. I just love that man. Maybe a Gore/Clinton ticket?

I have to say that I'm already feeling nostalgic about the end of Obama's 8 years, so because of that I'm hoping to see a familiar name like a Clinton or Gore. Obama's last couple years are going to go by so fast, and I'm going to miss the rush of excitement his candidacy and campaign gave me.

I still think it's just ridiculous how the media defined his campaign just because of that so-called scream during one of his rallies. Yet the Palins and Bushes are out there without a shred of intelligence, and they get propped up.
