View from the Left: Hillary, Barack and John

[Hometown]

How about Clinton / Graham?  That former, was he a senator or was he a governor, from Florida?

Well John clearly gets going when the fight gets started but he doesn't seem to have the team behind him that Hillary does.  He has had a lot of bad spin.  Maybe a good campaign shake up would make a difference.  And his stump speech sounds mechanical now.  Don't get me wrong, I could really go for a populist.  If Huey Long was running I would vote for him, but John doesn't seem to have the fire or policies of a Huey Long.  I'm waiting for the leader that is going to reinvent the Left and I just don't see it in him.  And I can't see him as vice president again.  What I do think he will be good for is getting Hillary ready for a brutal general election.

You've read the stories about the Clintons using heavy handed tactics in rounding up pledges of support.  I can see the Clintons are not going to be hampered by Bill's southern gentleman thing this time round.

And I can't see that Obama's hometown of Chicago would add anything to the ticket.

Waterboy - I'm not saying a law degree is a negative in my book.  Another poster mentioned it as being a strong negative for Edwards that he was previously an attorney.  SO I was just pointing out that the alternative to an attorney isnt really even there.

and I havent found the perfect candidate yet.  Still shopping.  Kinda sorta leaning toward Rudy, but he is a big gun control advocate and I havent looked into his other politics enough.  Someone show me a third party candidate in Oklahoma!  Really, with the election a year and a half away, I'm not too concerned just yet.  Talk to me a couple weeks before primaries.

If nothing else, Hillary's willingness to limit freedom of speech for political gain is enough for me not to support her.  Her latest support of the "fairness doctrine"
http://www.breitbart.tv/html/2042.html

Basically, she thinks she should be able to force people to support both sides of the political spectrum.  In the above instance, with a "legislative fix" to talk radio in a hearsay statement.  Nice.

Huey Long. [}:)]

The prince of American socialism.

I agree with your assessment of candidates at this point which is way too early to take any candidate seriously. A testament to the massively unpopular administration.

Honestly, counselor. Inhofe commenting about what he thinks he overheard two senators discussing in a hallway of congress? He wasn't part of the conversation and may have missed context. And no one contacts the two liberal senators for their confirmation of the remarks from Mr. credibility? And then reported to an obvious right wing internet site? Help me out here, isn't this just "hearsay"? And political hearsay at that?

I'm guessing ya gotta be Cajun to understand the popularity of that prince.

I understand Waterboy, it certainly isn't gospel.  I tried to reference it as hearsay and linked to the source for all to see. I got the link from Drudge and did not realize the source was not reliable (source, not Inhoffe).  Nonetheless, this isn't the first overture I have heard from the Clinton camp on the fairness doctrine. So lets see if she denies it...

Edwards is a sockpuppet for George Soros.  He can't apparently can't even think for himself anymore.  Have any of you Dems bothered to witness his radical metamorphosis over the last year?  He's a sitting duck for the GOP.  If you think the flip-flop charges against Lurch were bad just wait for what would be thrown at Silky Pony and his $400 hair cuts and $55,000 speeches about helping the poor...

He stands 0 chance, but I hope for my sake he's the nominee.

And I'm guessing that YOU should live in Louisiana to understand that it's not all Cajun!

George Soros?? Iplaw, you must dream about little green footballs, or martians, every night.

You gotta understand, Waterboy thinks all the Confederate flag stands for is "defiance" and there are no racial undertones when red necks fly it.  He's real knowledgeable about the South.

He sure has a strange affiliation with moveon.org then.  If he's not to be in bed with Soros he's at least giving reach arounds, since that's Soros' organization.  Moveon has all but become Edwards08.org, but I wouldn't let a little thing like that bother me if I were you.  I suppose you're lock step with Mr. Soros as well so it doesn't really matter.

Of course, considering how Edwards is running a distant third in the Dem polls, one has to question how much influence Soros has -- if he had any on Edwards to begin with.

[Conan71]

I thought Hillary was Soros' b!tch.
