"Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good."
Edited on Fri Jan-25-08 11:34 AM by jasmine621
"If you act too quickly, you might make a mistake." Prov. 19:2

Just how did Bill Clinton survive and beat the impeachment movement against him? After all the media hype and smear campaigns against him, how did he do it? How did he leave office with such high numbers and maintain his positives?

I'll tell you how: He informed and educated the people. He spoke directly to the people. He got out and met them face to face...all over the world, in fact.

Now, after all the media hype favoring Obama over Hillary, after all the smearing and race-baiting and gender-baiting and negative talk about Hillary and positive talk about Obama, when Hillary finally gets out and meets THE PEOPLE, THE VOTERS, many come to like and respect her. When she presents herself and is not presented by others to the voters, she gains.

In some ways the media campaign against her helps her in this way and hurts Obama. There is practically no where for Obama numbers to go except down once he faces the voters because the MSM has trumpeted his vague message night and day and built him up to be larger than his experience merits. Once he meets people face to face, they still like him but their feelings about him won't be "changed." This is not the same reaction once un decides and even some detractors have once Hillary meets them, takes their questions and talks with them.

So my message for HC supporters is to go ahead and be angry about what the media and Obama supporters are doing but let them go ahead. Just convince HC to get out more and talk directly to the voters. Use the few interviews that she gets on TV to talk about the issues, her vision, and to deflect the media's attempt divert attention to backbiting, sniping, and smearing.

1. Toto pulling back the Curtain may not matter to many. Glitter looks good.

3. I recieved a pretty nasty response to this from a so-called "Christian"
I have no right to quote the scriptures. Oh, well.
I wonder if it is ok for me to continue to read them?

6. That's a good question



But I always like 1 Thessalonians 4:11

And to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands, just as we told you


Yes, the Bible does tell people to mind their own business. ;-)
