  • DanThePainter, on 11/05/2007, -11/+7Gee, that music seems familiar. Oh yeah, The Bush campaign used it in an ad against Kerry-Edwards.

    • seanherman, on 11/04/2007, -0/+7The song choice isn't especially surprising. Johann Strauss's 'Blue Danube' has been used in at least 100,000 different commercials, movies, and concerts. It's stock music, with a nice condescending tone to boot. Perfect tunes to make your targeted candidate look like a buffoon.

    • metapop, on 11/21/2007, -0/+4don't be an idiot. it's a classic piece, who cares who uses it.
    • prosayik, on 01/02/2008, -0/+4Gee, looks like we have uncovered a conspiracy based on the music selection-- "Blue Danube" is used by Bush, Edwards, and docking spaceships.
  • dagnabbit, on 11/04/2007, -0/+21Now she's hiding behind her gender, claiming that the "boys' club" is picking on her. She deserves to get raked over the coals for not giving us a straight answer on a number of issues.
    • Valmorgan, on 11/25/2007, -0/+3I second that emotion! Hillary is a disgusting shame to her gender.
  • nprignano, on 11/03/2007, -2/+1funny how its another democrat using it against clinton this time around.
    • Ancelnic, on 01/03/2008, -0/+0Please whoever thinks that she will bocome our next president needs a good shake!
  • jamessieb, on 11/05/2007, -2/+10
    Double talk is dangerous!
    It's what got us in the Iraq war in the first place!

    Iraq had nothing to DO with 9/11 !
    (Iran either)



    • chosenone-, on 11/25/2007, -0/+2What the hell are you talking about? Don't you watch FOX news?
  • sushicombo, on 11/21/2007, -1/+2The problem for me with the candidates doing these kind of politics is that they're poisoning the public against each other come election time as well. Negative campaigning is self-defeating. As silly as it sounds I wish we could be united in this time rather than clawing and scratching at each other.
    • Valmorgan, on 11/25/2007, -2/+2Youre absolutely right, theyve got the divide and conquer down pat. Ron Paul unites under True freedom, `nuff said.
  • lgfaphile, on 11/24/2007, -0/+5Hillary is one of the most disingenuous people on the planet. I don't like Edwards particularly, but he is right to make a point of her dishonesty.
  • jessandunnotis, on 12/05/2007, -0/+2Double talk/Triple talk = No talk

    Orwellian in proportion to the need for clear, conscious, considered conversation - over and over and over, again.
  • electricsaa, on 12/30/2007, -2/+0tHE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY NEED A REAL LEADER . iF THIS ELECTION DOESN'T GET THE MESSAGE THAT WHAT THIS NATION NEEDS IS SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE CHARGE AND LEAD AND NOT BE AFFRAID OD THE FEW POWERFUL PEOPLE THAT MIGHT GET CAUGHT IN THE CROSS FIRE THEN WE ARE MOST LIKLY GOING TO SEE THE LOWEST VOTER TURN OUT EVER. ISNT THERE ANONE WHO CAN STAND UP AND SCREAM IN THE MICRAPHONE . IWANT MY COUNTRY BACK. BECAUSE THATS HOW MOST PEOPLE FEEL.
  • parabolee, on 12/31/2007, -0/+1This is old. And Edwards should be above attacking Hillary. He needs to put out what he stands for, we know she stands for nothing.

    I think slinging mud at Hillary does him more harm than good.
    • Ancelnic, on 01/03/2008, -2/+0Anybody who thinks that Hilary will be voted for and Obama voted for are in a real pickle! No way in hell will there ever be a woman president and in no way in hell will there ever be a black president!!!!!
  • aveja, on 01/01/2008, -0/+0If you don't sling mud Hillary will; look at what they did to Obama. Hillary and Huckabee are cut from the same cloth. They are both shysters. McCain is the one to be looked at for strong leadership and experience. He should be given serious consideration. He has acknowledged his faults.
  • Cosey, on 01/27/2008, -0/+0Only someone who hasn't a clue would accuse Sen Edwards of slinging mud at Sen Clinton. What debate did you watch? Sen Edwards has refused to participate in the negative campaigning that has defined the Obama and Clinton campaigns.
