Ok TC, but can u tell me how u really feel?
Yea, i get the part about the 20 yrs of the Bush, Clinton debacle – and counting? I don’t think so. But most of that other stuff u criticized them for can only be attributed to the last 8 years. I mean, u just outlined the legacy for GW right there, thank you. But your point is well taken – enuff is enuff. Just look at Bill’s recent meltdown to be reminded. It’s just too bad- she’s really sharp. I’m not concerned bout Russerts skills, I’m just comparing every candidate’s performance on the show and it’s not even close. She blew them all away. I just found it revealing because of the format – a whole hour of Q & A with no where to hide. Anyway, I agree, time to move on. It’s just a little scary steppin out into the unknown, though. We’ll see – more to come

I couldn’t disagree more Ben. This is the same old rhetoric delivered in the same old tired methodology. Russert is 5 lbs of peas in a 10 lbs bag, and his interviewing skills are limited at best. He wasted several opportunities to uncover the real truth here – and blew them all. She keeps talking about 35 years of experience….another 35 years of experience like her’s and we’ll be lucky to be a confederation of states much less the United States – she’s such a liar. Rusert is nothing but a tool. I believe Clinton’s and Bush’s – but especially Hillary has no business anywhere near the White House. What does that say about the USA when the best we can come up with for the last 20 plus years (30 if you include the possibility of election and then re-election) are Bush’s and Clintons. These 2 families have overseen the near ruination of our country. It’s time to move on, Hillary Clinton and that whole “business as usual crowd” have given us a 9 Trillion $ debt, wars we don’t want or need, a drastically declining economy and eventually our standard of living, a ridiclous and inefficient education system, government by special interest, non-secular interests calling the shots, a run-a-way defense department, increasing costs in every sector of our society, poor medical coverage for many of those who can least afford it. It’s time to move on – another 8 years of this and I truly fear for our future. We need to throw these people out – all they have done is enrich themselves. When you go to support someone in the up and coming elections ask yourself what you, your family, and the United States have gotten in the last 40 years. Is a 450 billion $ annual defense budget necessary? Is medical care a luxury or a right of citizenship? Is a well educated society in the interest of National Security? Is our Constitution and Bill of Rights under assault by every special interest in the world – and does anybody elected to government even care?

Mr. G.,
I don’t kno, You’ve had problms with Hillary since she began her run, probably for the same reason as many of us had; her Clinton Adminstr history as well as the way she’ll motivate the Repubs in this election.
But she was a guest on Meet the Press this Sunday and I encourage u to watch it – she was very impressive. More than any other candidate, she controlled the dialog and said everything precisely as she wanted to. That’s not easy to do wth Tim Russert, as witnessed by every other candidate in that hot seat. Just watch her handle it. That’s what I want in the White House – someone who can speak to the world with that kind on authority – she CAN’T be pushed around !
