After hearing her remarks about RKF's assasination, it's obvious this woman shouldn't be anywhere close to Barack Obama.

2. No worries. Despite my allergy to the idea, I understand how some would see...
...it as a real solution.

  In fact, it is a real solution. I just, a lot of people just don't see it as the best possible solution.

  I know what your goal was, and it was a noble intention.

3. One of the things I'm thankful for
It has been ugly today, but the good news is she will not be on the ticket and her supporters will have to simultaneously deal with her exit from the race next week (if not sooner) in shame and without the hope of her as the VP to console themselves.

20. I hear ya..it's not about hilary. It's about our

10. But, if she doesn't realize it...

19. She already threatened to obliterate Iran - and that was on a normal day when
she wasn't "overtired" as one of her sympathizers excused the "assassination" comment.

27. If she's not talking about Bobby Kennedy's
assassination as a reason to stay in which has nothing to do with this primary only in a gratuitious hilary clinton way..she's telling a stupid joke about whom she thinks is the former Prime Minsister of New Zealand, Helen Clark..

<snips>

The comment came during an interview with magazine when Mrs Clinton was asked to tell a joke.

"Here's a good one," she said. "Helen Clark, former prime minister of New Zealand: her opponents have observed that in the event of a nuclear war, the two things that will emerge from the rubble are the cockroaches and Helen Clark."

The Dominion Post reported today that Helen Clark found the anecdote amusing and suggested Mrs Clinton should talk to her husband, former US president Bill Clinton.

"As a current prime minister I spoke with him as a former US president in London only two weeks ago."


Mrs Clinton once said her parents named .."

14. That is just as bad, the not realizing
what the implications of remarks are by herself or her surrogates. How could this possibly be someone who could heal the country and our relationships with the world when statements always need some sort of clarification, when things always need to followed with 'I didn't really mean it that way'?

9. Those remarks stung decent people everywhere. It truly was a vile, ugly thing to say, yet her
boosters in GD: P say she ought to be given a medal for her remarks. Go figure. :shrug:

21. I don't think anyone would question your motivation, Katz
We all would like to see a united Democratic party. Don't think I ever would have agreed in this particular method, even before this insanity from Hillary, but that's beside the point.

In the end, it's all going to come together, once people realize that the myth of the DLC has done far more harm than good.

Edited on Fri May-23-08 10:29 PM by Gore1FL
But I think at this point, in stead of the white house she is better suited for allittle time in a room with white padded walls.

25. Está bien. A veces, tenemos opiniónes que lamentamos.
A good thing to come out of this terribly sad day is that the eyes of some well-meaning people have been opened.
