Say one good thing about the candidate you do not support.

[undeterred]

Really.

I appreciate Hillary Clinton's careful statements on abortion- that it should be 'safe, legal, and rare'. I think her tone on this is important because it makes Democrats sound less like they are in favor of abortion (which we are not) but she still supports choice.

Next?

[Speck Tater]

1. McCain has nice shoes. NT

[saracat]

2. I think Barack wears beautiful suits!

[Nitrogenica]

3. McCain could survive on food stored in his cheeks, that's impressive.

[undeterred]

83. Are you also impressed by chipmunks?

[babylonsister]

4. Hmmm. I'll get back to you-maybe.

5. Obama does well in debates.

6. Hillary dresses nice @ 3AM

7. Neither one is John McCain!

[SeattleGirl]

8. When I saw your thread title, Hilary's statements on abortion were

the first thing I thought of, too.

[dano81818]

107. what's wrong with abortion?

i am in favor of it any time a pregnant woman is in favor of it for herself. and it's not like we don't have population issues.

[mcctatas]

9. McCain had it right when he called Falwell and his ilk

"agents of intolerance"...of course that was before he decided to become "John McCain, Pander Bear"....

[undeterred]

15. Its too bad McCain is the nominee

because he really isn't the worst Republican in the whole world, and now he has to play the worst Republican in the whole world.

[Jamastiene]

96. I never knew he did that...

called Falwell and his ilk "agents of intolerance." Learn something new every day.

[rurallib]

10. John McCain has lots of big green money!

[undeterred]

36. And 8 houses.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

11. OK

Clinton has a nice hairdo. Obama has a nice smile. McCain is a veteran.

For the record, I'll vote for the Democratic nominee, but right now I don't support either one of them. And I detest McCain and see his possible election as very bad and scary for the US.

[ccharles000]

12. Barack is a very handsome man!

[PBS Poll-435]

13. He really knows how to bring the nuts out of the woodwork

14. Her husband was a great president.

Does that count?

[undeterred]

21. In this forum

that is actually a fairly strong response.

[yourguide]

23. I said was...he's really shown himself to be

sort of lousy the past couple of months. Which is a shame, a shame to tarnish his legacy over crap like dissing young voters etc.

26. Great campaigner.

Great speaker, intelligent man. Needs his own talk show or something.

16. Sometimes Hillary looks

beautiful.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

17. Hillary is very intelligent and a policy whiz.

18. HIllary said something on 60 Minutes about eating lots of hot peppers for good health

If that was the only issue on the ballot, she would have my vote.

19. Nader was very effective in consumer protection 20 years ago

25. Obama has beautiful children!

28. Indeed. And they want a dog when all this foolishness is over.

27. I LOVED the way Michael Moore portrayed Hillary (and Bill to a lesser extent) in Sicko

when they first appeared - on the health care issue. She couldn't have come across better. I didn't remember her as that fiesty back then. She made me really proud. What a tragedy for the nation that her plans weren't carried through.

David

[undeterred]

32. Yes, she really had a passion for the issue.

What a shithead Republican Congress we had.

[BlueCaliDem]

29. McCain is a war hero. Hillary is strong, beautiful, has an incredible wonderfully demure smile...

...has what it takes to be America's first female President. Judging by how well Chelsea's turned out, an exceptional mother.

I just wished she was a lot less DLCer.

Edit: Had to replace the "y" after incredible" to an "e". Sorry.

[Demeter]

31. Hillary Will Be Too Old To Do This Twice

[Arugula Latte]

53. You'd think so, but look at McSame ...

[undeterred]

66. Maybe she'll run again in 8 years and her personality

will be really mellow, like she's on Xanax or something. Wouldn't that be totally cool?

[BlooInBloo]

33. She does her research well.

[dkf]

34. After seeing this video and reading the PA debate transcript I am unable to comply with your request

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=385x121363

"You can't go to the Saudis or the Kuwaitis or UAE and others who have a legitimate concern about Iran and say: Well, don't acquire these weapons to defend yourself unless you're also willing to say we will provide a deterrent backup and we will let the Iranians know that, yes, an attack on Israel would trigger massive retaliation, but so would an attack on those countries that are willing to go under this security umbrella and forswear their own nuclear ambitions.

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/16/us/politics/16text-debate.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&pagewanted=15&adxnnlx=1208636085-ntXX9BZ/rZlw23mxrF8f+g

She wants for us to be responsible to go to war with a massive retaliation if any country in the Middle East that is under our "security" umbrella gets attacked.

WTH? Is she CRAZY?

[cornermouse]

60. So does Obama.

He said so in the last debate.

[RiverStone]

35. I do believe Hillary will endorse Obama after he wins the nomination n/t

[PM7nj]

37. Hillary has a great sense of humor.

I think she is pretty funny.

[Lucky 13]

38. She's still a registered Democrat.... for now.

That's gotta count for something.

Also remember that policy-wise, Obama and Clinton are 95% the same on the issues. That's something good too. It's the character thing I have a hard time with.

Now... something good about McCain.

Well, he can take a nap almost anywhere and he only occasionally jabbers on like an elderly person who's wandered away from the home.

[intaglio]

39. McCain flew combat missions

Hillary looks good for her age

[EFerrari]

40. I would like to go on a date with the guy that made this video.

42. Hillary has a nice smile...rare that she flashes it

there i said something nice about clinton =]

[bigtree]

43. two

Barack is a good Democrat and a gentleman.

[undeterred]

44. She must be incredibly forgiving.

She forgave her cheating husband for publicly humiliating her. And she has forgiven him many times. I know some people see that as a weakness. I think she must really love this man and accept his weaknesses in controlling his sexual excesses. She forgives his weaknesses even though it is terribly painful to her. That is a strength, not a weakness.

[Occam Bandage]

45. McCain served his country honorably and deserves respect for that.

[Faygo Kid]

46. General Zod rides the REAL Straight Talk Express

(please don't let General Zod know I support another. He will be displeased, which is not a good thing. But still, the man has his good points.)

GENERAL ZOD'S PLATFORM



I do not take orders. I give them. Congress shall no longer have the ability to impeach me or override my decisions, and the Supreme Court shall not meddle in government affairs.

Your freedom will be expanded. You will be even more free to give your money and lives to me, and to be my eternal subjects.

Eliminate the Iraq War. The Iraq War has shifted $187 billion to the defense industry. How is this "defense industry" to kneel before me? Are my praises to be sung as footnotes in their paperwork? You will stop giving these corporations your wealth. I suggest you put the money into your own schools and health care, so that I may have intelligent, healthy servants. I will indulge your wishes if you all want a Westernized, unpopular regime in Iraq, and I too shall gloat in its troubles, but it will not be done at my expense.

Universal health care. Even a criminal like myself is shocked that millions are not able to get health insurance and cannot pay for basic surgery. Who are these power brokers that allow the pigpen to become wormy and filthy? I demand your very lives, but I am not such an imbecile as to institutionalize suffering and poverty. You have my assurance that this shall change swiftly.

Corporate reform. You people have become disgusting minions to these things you call "corporations". These things take your money and your land, put you into debt, send your jobs overseas, provide you with unsafe foods, and sue you when you say anything bad about them. Yet you people fatten them up at the ballot box. You give them free land, name your stadiums after them, allow them to telemarket you, and even sacrifice your own bankruptcy protections. Quite frankly it astonishes me. I will break this sickly codependency. It is I who shall be your ruler. I shall empower you with wealth to give me as tribute. A corporation cannot bow to me or give me tribute that comes from the heart.

You will buy U.S. made items. Why do you buy Chinese-made items when you know that it sells out the jobs of your family and friends? How will you buy those cheap things when you have no job? You are sending my wealth and tribute to foreign lands. I will not tolerate this.

[Frustratedlady]

47. She knows her way around the kitchen, and...

will be returning on Wednesday.

[loves_dulcinea]

48. hillary

has paid heavy dues to the right wing, i respect her for the shit that she has endured.
Mccain used to be respectable.

[cornermouse]

49. Obama is a excellent speaker and I think he's highly intelligent.

Also it would be....correction, will be (none of the candidates are as bad at speaking as Bush) quite nice not to have a president who uses "gooder" instead of "better".

[grannylib]

50. I do believe Hillary is an intelligent woman who would make

a good president; I just think Obama would be a better choice for a number of reasons. While I'm disappointed in some of the tactics she and her campaign have taken, it hasn't pushed me to the point where I'd stay home or vote McSame if she were to be the nominee (and it won't - you could pay me enough to BE a rePiglican and I still wouldn't vote for one.)

[Jackpine Radical]

51. Hillary has a nice laugh.

[DevonRex]

52. John McCain has a nice grin. I like Hillary's hair color.

[Stinky The Clown]

54. The candidate(s) I don't support doesn't suck as bad as some.

I have some problems with him, but I like most of his policy positions, and if we could actually get rid of negative campaigning in America, that would be good too.

61. Oh. He'll win.

And a beautiful daughter.

97. ditto! she does have great hair!!

she's also sassy and smart.

[RichardRay]

67. Senator Clinton doen't know how to give up...

Not on her family, not on the issues she believes in. That's part of what makes it sad to me that it's gone the way it has. I want to be able to like both her and Bill after this is over, and if it keeps going the way it's headed I don't know if I'm going to be able to bring myself around to that.

85. Cindy McCain is not bad looking

[Political Heretic]

86. I had no trouble doing this a year ago. But I have been utterly disgusted by the campaign

Clinton has run. I've never felt more betrayed by any democrat. But I'm going to try to say something nice anyway...

I think that, once the campaign craziness subsides, and she's back to being a Senator, she may be able to get back a little focus and perspective. She might even have a come to jesus moment like Gore did after 2000 and see that all her tactical manipulative triangulating politicking hasn't cut it and she might act a little more often from conscious and a little less often from manipulative tactics. If so, I think she could become and extraordinary Senate Majority Leader or Secretary of State. She has the potential to get her head screwed back on straight and be an amazing democratic for many years to come, and I hope she does it.

That's as nice as I can get after all the embarassing disgusting stuff her campaign has pulled.

[undeterred]

93. Here, let me help.

She and her husband taught me the meaning of "triangulating"...about 100 times.

113. I suspect she has help.

[Bongo Prophet]

114. I don't know. She has said she does it to relax, and she has been under a lot of stress.

Her closets are probably as big as my bedroom, so I guess she could have staff to pitch in. :shrug:

His politics suck, though.

109. Well, here's a cute pic of Hillary with a kitty

[saltpoint]

112. Agree with you on Sen. Clinton and reproductive rights issues generally

and on likely pro-Roe SCOTUS appointments specifically.

I think that would be the trump card in a Hillary/McCrazy race for me as an individual voter.

Also it is impressive to have an Ivy League-educated female seeking the presidency. A certain other Ivy League-educated male rPresident appears to have wasted his oppostunity at higher learning. Hillary Clinton made the most of hers.
