 |
|
I watched this whole debate, and I think Hillary really blew it with her "xerox copy of" comment. The audience really went after her for that. Then when Obama went on about how he voted against the war and against so many things that Hillary gave Bush a rubber stamp for--that made her look bad too. I think all in all, Obama was far superior in the debates.
What do you think?
Something that bugged me a lot was the idea that parents should be FINED if they don't get their kids health insurance. WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THAT?!?! So they should be fined because they're poor?

Watching it now on CNN.com. I actually think they are both very solid debaters. But I would agree that Obama is better

I'm still trippin' on their whole idea of fining parents who don't get health insurance for their kids. That's CRAZY!!
What are they going to do to parents who refuse to pay the fine? Throw them in jail? Take away their kids so their kids have to live in foster homes?

Not one of the better debates,Clinton seemed resigned to her fate and may have been posturing for a VP position.

It almost seems that way to me as well, but I don't think it would be a good combination, unfortunately, to have two minorities running the country--not that "I'm" against it, it's just that if there are some wingnuts out there who are so anti-minority out there, it's even MORE likely that an assassination attempt might be made. 
But as far as I'm concerned, I would definitely prefer Hillary as vice president than as actual president. I would overall prefer someone else though--I generally don't like Hillary because of how her husband did so many republican things when he was in office and pulled the wool over a lot of people during the process of doing such.

First off, women are not minorities. There are more women voting than men.
For me I don't really see them as minorities or majorities anyway. Just candidates. But the point I would like to make is that I dislike Hillary and it has nothing to do with her gender. It has to do with the fact that there is a better candidate, Obama, running for the position. As for vice, I think there are better candidates for Vice, too, if Obama wins. Here are some people I would love to see as his vice:
Mike Bloomberg
Wesley Clark
Al Gore
Ron Paul
Arnold Schwarzenegger (If he was legally allowed to that is)
John Kerry
Colin Powell
