		<description>Although I never liked him personally I always thought Bush 41 wasn't bad - he was reasonably honest,  understood the world, and seemed to have the countries best interest at heart. His son.....well I can hardly talk about it anymore - I agree with you. But the 2 Clintons have 20 plus years of scams, fast bucks, lime light stealing, credit stealing, subtle manipulation,..........it's exhausting. Any experience near the levers of power these last 20 years needs to be thrown away - because it's the wrong experience. In 2008 there will be a strong Dem majority in the Congress, there may very well be a super majority of Dems in the Senate, and there will be a Dem president. Things will get done the first 2 years, maybe the first 4 years -  but they will change again. We need new people - fresh people - it was never the founders intention to have elected representatives at the Federal level for more than 10-12 years - so having Obama and 15-20 new Senators, and 60 to 70 new congressmen suits me just fine - I think the world would be much better off without the "experienced" Americaan politicians in charge for awhile - they're slowly filling all of us, why let them - throw them away.</description>

		<description>I am not qa fan of Hilary, I did not vote for her and whether I would remains to be seen. After Biden and Edwards dropped out of the race and a brief flirtation with Kucinich just because Russ Feingold wasn't running, I drifted toward Obama. However, let's be fair--first ladies deserve a little more credit than they often get. From Abigail Adams to Edith Wilson, from Eleanor Roosevelt to Hilary Clinton, and all the First Ladies in between-- these women had a profound effect on the political scene while their husbands were in office. You can dismiss it, claiming they didn't sit at national security meetings or have security clearance, but they had the president's ear far more than the most trusted advisor. 8 years in the Clinton White House may not count as presidential experience, but it does count more than a single-term U.S. Senator. 

I happen to be of the opinion that surrounding oneself with able advisors can make up for experience so I am comfortable with Obama who has made good decisions so far, but Hilary clearly has the edge when it comes to the world stage .. to dismiss this is being dishonest with oneself.

And TerenceC, while the Clinton's as a pair may be consistently among the most dishonest politicians of our time, they cannot hold a candle to the Bush crowd that has lied so completely I can no longer even recall an honest thing the group has said. The sheer magnitude of his dishonesty on Iraq is mind numbering.   Remember compassionate conservatism? Remember his campaign pledge to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from power plants? Remember how he was going to be the education president? Remember how he criticized Clinton for high gasoline prices and if he were in office he would use his influence in the Middle East and with the oil companies to lower prices.  The only thing he told the truth about was when he said he would lower taxes, but he didn’t exactly say that his goal was to lower taxes mostly for the wealthy. Remember how he said he would control government spending? The list is endless.

If  dishonesty troubles you, you should be really upset with this group.</description>

		<description>Billary - the most consistently dishonest pair of politicians we have had in this country in over 30 years - why won't people see this for what it is. I truly want to see a woman in the oval office - by and large I find women much more reasonable politically - just not this woman.......way too much baggage, way to dishonest, the country has Clinton / Bush fatigue - but the old ladies just won't let it go, and the Archie Bunkers are afraid.</description>
