Go read “The Quiz Show on Iraq” and take the quiz. It’s an eye-opener and the bottom line is “for any of them (especially one particular candidate) to disingenuously claim to have been consistently anti-war would be more than la…

Without successful legislation Dr. King’s dream would not have brought the Civil Rights Act into a reality. Hillary did not diminish the efforts of Dr King and the thousands who helped bring this dream into reality.

In drawing this distinction she emphasized correctly that it will take a capable and experienced President to enact successful progressive legislation.

The torrent of anger [and hate] emanating from Obama’s side reveals an attitude that will not help the Democratic party to victory. To begin with…it was ok to mention Bush’s use of cocaine and alchohol and question his behavior? I really cannot understand how Obama expects to admitting to drug use, and expects no one to question this?

In other words is there so much naivete or hubris here that Obama believes he can continue to play on young voter’s feelings of guilt? Surely we all need redemption from the atrocities visited on the blacks in this country. But playing the race card will catch up with him.

I marched in Selma. Yet Isee no reason why Obama should have a scrubbed record of his votes and accomplishments[?] in Illinois. His ties to recently indicted Rezko with relation to a sweetheart deal made between himself and Rezko to enlarge his backyard property at half of it’s worth caught up with Obama. He had to return $11.500 in Rezko donations, but even after he knew Feds were investigating this transaction he closed on his property the same day Rita Rezko [neighbor] did.

Obama’s response: ” I made a mistake.” His Illinois records as a part time State Senator are missing. His answer: “I never thought it would be important and now it’s too late to retreive them and too costly. Sure.

Obama Mr. expects his ties to lobbyists [republican] in that legislature to die. His weekly Thursday night poker games with lobbyist were all part of playing ball with the powerful republican dominated Assembly. Pritzker billions are backing Obama. Pritzkers run Hyatt,nursing homes,medical and financial, travel,and on. The Feds closed down 2 of their failing S&L’s, and the IRS successfully sued re: income tax envasion.

His backstory is highly protected, and the Press?? Where are they?
Penny Pritzker is Finance Director of his campaign and has to be pressured to reveal Obama’s still hidden donors.

Clinton isn’t claiming that she “led on Iraq” in the past. She’s pointing to the fact that Obama’s record in the Senate is exactly like hers. I think she has a right to do this.

Obama’s claims to be the anti-war candidate are not consistent with his record and it’s not just Kerry Feingold.

We’ll have to disagree on this, because I’m not drinking the Hillary Hater koolaid.

Apparently, Hillary Clinton who has not made being an “anti-war” candidate is not supposed to question the record of Barack Obama who has made this his platform. To do so is an “attack” or a “smear.” That’s lud…

Hillary has no leg to stand on in regards to Iraq. She and her campaign have zero credibility to attack Obama when they have been so wrong, and she won’t even apologize for her vote! Let’s not even talk about how Bill LAUDED Bush’s handling of the Iraq War in 2004. Some help for our nominee, Bill.

I will also add that drawing attention to someone’s voting record or stance on the issues is not an out right attack. It’s part and parcel of a political campaign.

The conclusion I reached about Obama on Iraq is one I reached a year ago, before Kerry announced he was not going to run. I felt then it was hyprocritical for Obama to call himself an anti-war candidate because he did not support Kerry Feingold and I feel the same way now.

Last but not least as for not voting for the nominee — your choice. I doubt Senator Obama will do what you are threatening or would want his supporters to do that.

I’ve been blogging long enough to know what Obama’s record is on Iraq. Thank you.

As for HRC, if she is the nominee, after her repugnant behavior of the past few weeks, I will become an independent and vote 3rd party or stay home. But, I will never give my vote to someone like her.
It would be the same as voting for G. Bush or K. Rove.;
