Meh... Clinton's are easy to beat. Just don't get sucked into playing their game.

The senate minority whip is front and center on this issue. He (Clyburn) said Bill Clinton "needs to chill".

Naive, you say?

I did not say he is naive, I said he is acting in a way to be perceived as such, just as some of the more ignorant and frightened believe he is a Muslim educated in madrassas. Not true, but it keeps some from voting for him.
Now, to what issue has CNN, MSNBC and FNC devoted so much time? Mr. Obama's policies or ideas for the economy, immigration, our foreign aggression and the sorry state of our reputation in the world...or, as Jesse Jackson once called it, the "rat-a-tat-tat" between two camps of the same political party who should have one focus; to make certain the Bush Cabal is not given, through surrogates or otherwise, the opportunity to continue their ruinous policies...?

I agree that he should chill but don't see the logic in it when it's clearly been working for them as a strategy.

Clinton for the most persevered through the most contentious, adversarial congress in history. Compare him to any dem of the last 30 years.


Show me someone who's done better.
I agree. And those bombings, particularly the one of Afghanistan when he was after Bin Laden - what's the gripe?

I like everyone, really. An artist does not judge. An artist studies the surrounding world, and finds the stuff in whatever.

You know me, I have to tell the truth. I'm a rare right-brain male. I do not calculate. Maybe someday my girlfriend will be a politician. Then I can just tell her everything and let her use her rare left-brain female powers to tactfully use what I tell her.

Also, i'm incapable of being polite. It is part of the cat nature.

And whining is working for him. Seems like they have their rolls all worked out.

I honestly want him to win the Democrat nomination. He's a political lightweight with a checkered past and now he's a crybaby to boot.
