Don’t pick Clinton for vice president

Even after six months and all that Democrats have been forced to endure due to Hillary Clinton’s hard-headed attitudes, she is still playing hardball.

I think the worst thing the Democratic ticket could do is put Clinton as vice president. She has no one to blame for these problems but herself. Her backstabbing and condemning of Sen. Barack Obama for the last four to five months has been uncalled for. Let us not forget that even if Obama chooses Clinton, there is always the wild card named Bill.

Bill Clinton’s lack of control on many levels would only give the Republican National Congress added ammo against Obama. If Hillary had any concern past her own agenda, she would see that forcing Obama to pick her as vice president will only harm the ticket.

This goes beyond ego!

The stock cheats, boot leggers, and gun runners that the Kennedys made their fortunes on are now passing the torch to Senator Obama.

Since Uncle Ted is no longer available,
Sweet Caroline is being trotted out, why is a Kennedy endorsement necessary for a Democrat to win the White House?

Please, have Hilary run as the Dem.VP. If she and Obama actually win, they can spend the first 18 months in office fighting to see who will be in charge. Then Obama could possibly get the items returned that the Clintons, mistakenly removed from the White House when they left!

You know with the Track Record both the Dems and the Reps have, I am surprised that either of the candidates get into office. I do not vote for either party just because of that notion. I vote for the Reform party or the Constitution party because the Constitution has been hijacked by our Courts, the House and Senate and they have destroyed the only form of law that is traditional and what makes America the country that it is suppose to be. Yeah, you can say what you want and tell me that I am throwing my vote away, but the reality is that whom ever has the most money buys the votes. Regardless of which party you vote for. Accept it and interpret it as you will.... This is not the country that most of the oldtimers who are still left remember! What a shame! Ireland is sure looking good to me right now!!!!

Barack Obama was picked long before the primary.
The Kennedy Family is behind him.
The Dems want to have the Clintons out completely.
Is it a coincidence that The DNC will crown Barack Obama on Aug. 28, 2008 exactly 45 years to the day that Martin Luther King gave the "I have a dream" speech?usliberals.about.com/od/patriotactcivilrights/a/DreamSpeech.htm - 28k -

To Voter:

I wouldn't have the guts to bring someone into my VP slot that had made the various assassination references Hillary did, either.

I absolutely agree with Mr. Wilson, and will be very surprised if Obama brings that kind of baggage onto the ticket. There is way too much ammo it would give the Republicans, and I think in the end, most Democrats (especially the Feminists!) will know better than to defect to someone like McCain with a horrible record on women's issues among many other areas.

Obama needs to bring on someone who can vary the ticket with more than First Lady experience; not to mention someone that represents change, not dishonesty and poor sportmanship.

The "promised" delegates are just that a promise, not a true vote.
There is so much yet to be learned about the young Senator from Illinois. He was on the job as a Senator for 159 days.

How can you say she would hurt the Dems, when she got so much of the popular vote. If your dumb enough to vote for Obama then Hillary won't make it any worse, thats for sure. But I doubt Obama has the guts to have her as his VP.
