Grow up people!!! This is appalling.We are supposed to be grown -ups!
Edited on Sun Mar-30-08 04:22 AM by wake.up.america
This is disgusting!!!

I really don't care about Hillary's ankles.
I really don't care about her trip to Bosnia.
I really don't care about Bill's escapades.

I really don't care about Obama's colour or race.
I really don't care about Obama's middle name.
I really don't care about Obama's preacher.

I care about Iraq.
I care about the economy.
I care about US stature on the world stage.

The question is : Who can better lead this country?

Screw the media - it acts like an immature teenager.

And how do we expect the electorate to focus on vital issues, if we act like little children?

Some of us need to grow up or we will be sending our kids to Iraq, waving good bye from a broken down trailer home beause voters will be looking at us as nothing but squabbling kids.

1. I really don't care about her trip to Bosnia?
I agree with everything you state, except I cannot stand for the blatant lying about the Bosnia trip. It is an insult to those who have indeed been in harm's way, and as a test of character, her lying diminishes her's.

Lying is lying, under oath or not. It is not childish to reject a candidate for lying.

2. any statement calling for a return to the "issues" is always bull.
Issues don't win elections, candidates, with all their failings and weaknesses intact,do.

Elections turn on all this other stuff and they always have.
Who needs to grow up now?

3. In a way I guess that's true because it got the chimp
elected. Twice no less, but if we can't use that example and learn something from it and get people to focus on something besides electing somebody they'd like to have a beer with, then we'll probably going to be stuck with "More Of The Same McCain" for a few years.

5. I care about Obama's blatent lies about not being in Wrights church during those sermons.
He was there and he lied. A lie is a lie.

7. AFAIK, there is only one sermon by Rev. Wright that is in question. What
proof do you have that Mr. Obama was at THAT sermon.

Mr. Obama has repeatedly stated he heard "provocative" statements. He denied hearing the "God damn America" sermon. Do you have proof that he, in fact, was in the congregation that day?

(Sorry, but anything tainted by Sean Hannity is unacceptable for any use, especially proof.)

I will welcome your response.

6. I think the only legitimate grip on that list is the Bosnia problem. I expect better from Hillary.
She will get beat up badly with it. And it is a grown up issue focused squarely on honesty and trust.

There is no way the rightwing can bring up pastorbation without revealing their prejudices. Several strategists have publicly stated that they should not touch it, without further comment. That's a childish issue used to spread distrust.

But I agree, the primaries have turned many well meaning people into living and breathing, tragic little euphemisms.
