Wherever she campaigns, Hillary gives her audiences what they want to hear: “I’ll bring you good paying jobs”. APPLAUSE. Actually , her economic plan promises 5 million new jobs. She does not tell her audiences that she made the same promises across upstate New York prior to her 2000 election. She promised upstate New Yorkers 200,000 ‘good paying jobs’ but after 6 years in office New York LOST nearly 100,000 jobs. The media, centered in NY, knew all about it but gave Hillary a pass and would not press the issue, wouldn’t bring it up, didn’t talk about it. Nineteen debates later, no one in the media would dare to ask Hillary about the phantom jobs, even thought she continued to make that hollow promise all over the country. It wasn’t until the 20th debate that Tim Russert asked Hillary about the jobs promise for NY. She blamed Al Gore for not getting elected and upsetting her plans. Really.

If that’s an example of her superior judgment, you can have it. You might have thought that Hillary learned her lesson in NY – and not promise hundreds of thousands of jobs that she could not deliver. But no. She went on the stump and continued to promise jobs,jobs and more jobs. Hey, it got her elected in New York so why not use it nation-wide?

In case you think this comes from one of those whacko Clinton haters, no, I supported both of them. I voted for her in large part because of her jobs promise but that was before I found out her promise was nothing but bullshit. .

Hillary can’t hide from her record. It’s a legitimate issue. I don’t know why Obama is not using it. Maybe David Axlerod is asleep. I wonder how many delegates Hillary would have won if Americans had known the truth about her record .

IRS Threatens Church's Tax Status Over Obama's Hartford Speech; Perez Asks Congress to Investigate IRS <link>

Hartford Mayor Eddie A. Perez asked Congress today to investigate the IRS' threat to strip the United Church of Christ of its tax-exempt status over Barack Obama's speech to a church convention in Hartford in 2007.

"If the IRS is successful, every church synagogue and mosque that invites an elected official to speak on issues such as the war in Iraq, abortion, the environment, labor and other issues of social justice could fear loss of their non-profit status," Perez said.

He is asking U.S. Sens. Christopher Dodd and Joseph Lieberman and U.S. Rep. John B. Larson to intervene.

I appreciate how you feel about Hillary and Obama. However, you blame them for the voters choosing them in various elections. Your attitude presumes that the people who voted for either candidate aren't intelligent enough to make a decision that is correct for them. It's insulting and it reflects an arrogance that isn't going to help anyone in November. The bottom line is that there are millions of people who feel strongly about both Hillary and Obama. Assuming that either candidate can drop out of the race and leave everyone happy is naive and a bit absurd. Just as one person would be unhappy if Obama dropped out, so would a Hillary supporter if she left the race. Blaming candidates for voters feeling excited about them is ridiculous. You really need to get a perspective and at least try to filter out some of your emotional feelings about who will become the nomination. If you really care about the issues that you claim to care about so deeply, then you should act accordingly. Hillary and Obama share the same political positions on just about every single issue. The idea that they are so different as to warrant all the hateful and destructive dialogue that is circulating on the internet is insane. This is why the democrats will lose in November. Don't blame the candidates, it's the voters who will destroy themselves. We are all responsible for how we act and if we would rather trash the opportunity of the deomcrats to retake the White House, then sobeit. However, don't blame this on Hillary or Obama because your attitude is the problem. There are many of us who are loyal democrats and as such, who see both candidates as being able to be successful in November for different reasons. There are many of us who'd like to see a Hillary/Obama ticket primarily for the purpose of securing the White House for the next sixteen years. More specifically, I believe that in eight years, Hillary will be less "marketable" than Obama in that she will be 70, while Obama will be in his 50's. Thus, I feel that since we have two extremely popular candidates, in order to derive as much benefit as possible from them and ensure that we hold the White House as long as possible, I would like to see a Hillary/Obama ticket in 2008. There is no ego here, as a single, college educated adoptive Mother, I just want to be able to have a job that allows me to take care of my family, continue to put two of my sons through college and have healthcare expenses that aren't $500 per month. I want to raise my children knowing that they aren't inheriting an environment, economy, debt and foreign relations policy that will make their lives painful. If that means that I support this candidate or that candidate, then fine whatever it takes to have the democrats back in the White House. At some point, someone has to see the insanity in assuming that either side of this basically 50/50 split of people is going to be happy with the departure of either candidate. This is something that all of you have in common, you all love your candidate more than what they stand for collectively...and what that is, is a change from the way things have been done for the past eight years. I just hope that at some point soon, democrats will wake up, get a perspective and realize that in all their zealous passion, they are killing the dream. If you cannot unify as a party (and that means the voters, not the candidates, as we are all responsible for our own actions), then how can you expect to win the White House in November. The result of all the fighting is another four years of the same thing we've had for the past eight years. If that's what you want, then keep acting the way you're acting. If you want something different, then advocate for it. Start holding your peers accountable and eventually, we might salvage the mess that we, the people, have created for ourselves.

Can you think of anything else to say? All you do is copy and paste the same message on just about every single thread.

Well, the excuse if she's President will be essentially the same: "I assumed I would have a cooperative Congress." I don't know why she would assume that since her candidacy is likely to invigorate the Republican base and help them retain House and Senate seats that are contested.

This is a stinking form letter. Who are you trying to fool?
