At least Hillary is “The Devil You Know.”
Maybe he was easier to defeat, if you ran a real candidate against him. Now we’ll never know.
Yes, the lesser evil.
Well, I’m going to view this way: The election of a black socialist with its attendant racial implications takes more social injustice ammunition away from the Left then does the election of a female socialist, so from that perspective, he’s a better choice.
I’d say Hillary. Both are evil but at least she has no charisma to carry it forward , which is why she lost.
Not even close — Hillary. Hillary. I have never been more afraid for my country’s future then I am now.
If you consider the impact that Sarah Palin had in 9 short weeks on the McCain ticket you can get a glimpse of how defeatable Obama was. He never sealed the deal, it was his by default thanks to a lackluster campaign by McCain prior to the convention and a total meltdown of the economy. If Iraq, the surge and national security were the topics of this campaign we would be celebrating a McCain Presidency.
And now I don't even feel like an American any more because America has become nothing but a land mass populated by too many people who have no respect whatsoever for our military and who sit around with their hands out waiting for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors and hand it over to them. That's an America not worth defending.
let’s see... Cyanide or Arsnic? ... I’ll take two please, wrap them to go if ya don’t mind.
Well, maybe celebrating is too strong a word for true conservatives but you catch my drift.
Hillary. I figured that out about halfway through the primaries.
I doubt I would have been celebrating. I would have been mildly relieved, but not celebrating. We would have had to watch McCain as closely.
Not necessarily celebrating, but not wretching every time a news story came on.
Hmmm...burning to death or freezing to death....can’t decide.
I know, I corrected myself (see above)
yes
Due to his commanding personality and speech-making (vs. Hillary’s screech-making) Obama may well be a more effective leader. And since he and Hillary’s politics are twins, that makes him all the more dangerous (by far, I think) as president.
At least Hillary was brought up a Republican—and only veered left in college. Obama & family, back to his grandparents at least, were far left, and he was even mentored by a Communist party member. We’ve never, ever, had a man with such a background as president. He makes Kerry and even Kennedy look as if they were raised conservatives....
I very much fear, that, should we have another 9/11 type attack, Obama and his cronies will use that as a pretense to take dictatorial power. His speech about a civilian defense force chilled me to the bone. The Georgia congressman is right...that’s exactly what dictators do—create a Praetorian Guard.
I was just speaking for myself!
After seeing Obama’s transition team and his first selection for Chief of Staff, I am not so sure it makes any difference.
(Lots of Clintonistas in this crowd)
There is no lesser of two evils here....just evil.
I don’t care for either one of them.
