Is Hillary going to self destruct ???

[Smiling JOe]

Actually, it does keep SOME people from doing things if they are illegal. Yes, women can still find unsafe and financially draining ways to get an abortion if it's made illegal, but it would effect the number performed.

Big difference between outlawing a medical procedure that could save a life or prevent a great deal of pain and anguish and deciding whether or not you can smoke pot in your home (which IS legal in some places w/ a prescription).

Smoking pot with a prescription may be legal, but as I understand it, as long as the Fed regulates doctors, the feds will revoke any license of a doctor prescribing pot. Smoking pot in the home is only part of the issue of smoking pot in the home. One often has to go into sketchy neighborhoods, risking his or her own life and safety to buy the pot. Not to mention, by possessing it in large enough quantities, they risk losing their possessions such as auto and home. You may not find the two comparable and I understand your reasons. I just disagree with the comparison not being accurate.

Here is a question for you. Bush, Bush Sr, and Ronald Reagan were/are against abortion, and many people voted against them because of their position on abortion. Abortion is still legal. So, what is the cause for alarm? Do you really find the issue to be important in the Presidential Campaign, since it has always been an issue in the past, but it continues to be legal, no matter if Presidents are for or against it?

I think it's an issue because of who may be appointed to the Supreme Court during the coming president's term. Showdown coming IMO.

Don't think it's THE issue as the economy and our foreign policy are much more important but it is an issue that affects a LOT of women. It's estimated that 1/3 of American women will have an abortion by age 45.

Yes, you may do illegal things and risk your safety to get pot, but it won't kill you or ruin your life if you DON'T get it, which is why I didn't think it was a good example.

I think her being a little emotional was a sign of true caring and compassion for this country.

We'll have to agree to disagree here. ;-)

I take it back...I have no sympathy, and Bill Clinton has just lost all of my respect. Disgusting.

I think Carville's come home.

pretty poor. I'm disappointed. Was that Bill impersonating Bush? Or Bush dressed in Bill's clothes and hair? or did someone drag Bill from his deathbed?

This should remind the country that Sen. Clinton is really the candidate of the STATUS QUO especially if Carville, Begala, and et al join the Clinton campaign. If they do join, it will be the death knell of her campaign, imo. CLINTON FATIGUE.

Apparently not just yet....

SJ! yes, Obama is likable. your personal view on Hillary is well known. But, I think "very repulsive" unfair, unless you clarify that this is your own feeling/opinion. Personally, I think you have a very strong, deep down dislike of the woman - like many. but, repulsive? I don't recall anyone saying such about a male candidate. well maybe nadar, but he doesn't count.

perhaps you are psychologically unable to handle your mysterious sexual attraction to Hil, an older woman in pastel suits with the noochies (with hair) to run for president, on top of having to accept that you will never have the chance to caress her soft face, kiss her pursed lips, and protect her forever in your arms. therefore, you lash out at the mere mention of her name. ever thought of that Mr. SJ???? lol: killing myself here).

and there is nothing wrong with a teary moment. we all have them. maybe its hard for some men to believe, but tears are not something you can always control when you feel very strongly about something.

I do agree with your comment about the "popularity" contest. Americans are going to jump on board with the front runners typically. Also, americans care a great deal about personality and charisma, and they must be able to identify/relate to the candidate in some personal way - if a candidate isn't personable then forget it (gore, kerry).

Toots, I agree with you. I am amazed at the vehemence shown towards Hillary. In my opinion, ANY candidate will be better than who we have in the White House now. Can't wait for 1/20/2009!!!!

I thought the word "repulsive" might be a tad strong, too..

...until I read this!



(I find her a tad repulsive myself, and I don't have a crush on her, either...)

 

[InletBchDweller]

Goofer, I hear only a sound bite of her breakdown today. It sounded very sad, like she has given up. Do you think it was just good acting, or do you think that is the signal for real, that she is giving up?

I think the tears were just an act. Obama has Oprahs 'sheeple' pulling for him and she made a sad attempt to try to gain some of the 'sheeple's' respect. I think Terry and Lenny did a great job, they should go to Hollywood and coach actors...

Tootsie, you make me laugh....
