NO....Hillary Clinton is "promising" change. She's playing the "let's do something different that
works" card.l |

No, she's playing the, "I'm a woman, vote for me!" card. |

No! But the media pundits have built this "fire" and "fuel" it everyday. One pundit started it the
rest fall into line like lemmings. |

I do not believe that Hillary is using the "black card" or any thing else crooked or racist to get
to the presidential seat. Hillary is running a fair and just race. She highly respects Obama and
would not use back biting to get votes. Everything she does is sincere and just. People are just
trying to make her look like a bad person so that she will not win the race. This idea of the "black
card" is just something Hillary haters came up with to try to push her back. They all accuse each
other of various things. In no way is Clinton a racist and one would be crazy to think she is. Above
all, she is very humanistic and will work for the good of all people. We should be thankful we have
Hillary as an option as a choice for president. |

ABSOLUTE NOT. Hillary is NOT the one who introduced the "race card" into the campaign. OBAMA DID.
Anything that appeared as 'back biting", 'seeking to keep black man out of the White House" and more
was NEVER intended to be taken as a racial slur in any way. She respects the man, Obama. He is her
competition for the most important position in America and used to, before George W. Bush, be same
in the world. If anything what was said by her regarding race, after Obama brought the subject into
the campaign, just wait to see what horrible lies and innuendo THAT THE REPUBLICANS BRING INTO THE
GENERAL ELECTIONS FOR THEY ARE ALREADY SEEKING 'DIRT' ON OBAMA AND CLINTON. THEY AND THEIR
'COMRADES' WHOM THEY PRETEND THEY DO NOT KNOW, INTEND TO TRY TO DESTROY THEM JUST AS FELLOW
REPUBLICANS DID AGAINST MCCAIN IN SOUTH CAROLINA 4 YEARS AGO.
It is very clear that neither Obama nor Hillary resolved their differences over what she said that
was interpreted as racist and by Obama that has clearly been 'anti-women".
What is wonderful is that this election has 2 people leading their party, the Democrats, who belong
to the historical minorities in America. Either win will be historical. Some people want the black
person to win and some want the woman to win---when one of them becomes the candidate, all Democrats
will rally behind that candidate. Hopefully, so will the Independent voters and perhaps many
Republican voters will rally also to bring historical significance to either minority.
Bill has not been the one who encouraged or "lead" (as bpickens82 wrote). We the Democrat voters
did. I made the decision and added hope the evening that Bill Clinton was elected, that I HOPED
THAT HILLARY WOULD BE THE NEXT DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE BECAUSE SHE IS BRIGHT--SO HIGHLY INTELLIGENT,
HAS BEEN AN ADVOCATE FOR CHANGES THAT HAVE MADE OURS A BETTER AMERICA, IS A LEADER AS SHOWN LATER
WHEN SHE BROUGHT TOGETHER ALL GROUPS OF THE MEDICAL AND HOSPITAL AS WELL AS CONSUMERS, (I still
believe the plan was excellent and should have been supported by the close-minded Republicans who
vote yes only for Big Business and do not care about the middle and lower classes in any way.) and
HILLARY UNDERSTANDS ALL AMERICANS, CARES DEEPLY ABOUT THE MIDDLE AND LOWER CLASS AND HOMELESS
PEOPLE, CARES ABOUT CHILDREN AND THEIR NEEDS, AND SO MUCH MORE. America will be great again when
Hillary leads us to recovery of respect to many countries of the world. To overcome the horror of
the Bush administration will be a huge task for whoever wins the White House.
The first time, at the last Democratic Convention, I respected him and IMMEDIATLY WANTED HIM TO BE
PRESIDENT AFTER HILLARY BECAUSE HE IS INTELLIGENT, CARES ABOUT ALL CLASSES OF PEOPLE, WOULD FIGHT
FOR THE COMMON MAN AND THE HOMELESS AND CHILDREN, JUST AS HILLARY WILL INCREASE THE RESPECT OF
AMERICA AND THE WORLD FOR WOMEN AS LEADERS, OBAMA WILL INCREASE THE RESPECT FOR AMERICA AND EVERY
BLACK PERSON IN THE WORLD, HIS FAMILIAL BACKGROUND WILL OPEN DOORS THAT NO OTHER AMERICAN HAS DONE
TO MUSLIMS AND AFRICANS EVERYWHERE, HE WILL BE A GREAT LEADER AFTER HE GETS MORE EXPERIENCE AS A
SENATOR OR AS VICE PRESIDENT, AND MORE.
Bill Clinton is highly respected who will get their heads out of their own a.......es and see what
they know is true: He was one of perhaps 4 of America's best and respected Presidents in the 20th
century. We, the common men and women of America, respect and are grateful for what he did for the
economy, the people from welfare to America's great corporations who used to care about their
country, and those of us who respect and love for him across the country WANT to hear from him. We
believe that Hillary as President will be her own person and leader..........(Why can people accept
that about George W who supposedly has been his own person even though his father also was President
who know the best ways and the pitfalls of the Presidency. Those who accept the man yet not the
woman as strong within their own person, are racists (I believe this word as well as anti-female)
against women and I have no doubt have the same racism close-mindedness that evangelical
"Christians" and Republicans have shown over the last 30 years...they have brought shame to America
from all over the globe. Bill Clinton will make a great host in the White House because he loves
being with people as an ordinary America from what used to be considered the 'hick' country. He was
a wonderful influence for the people of Arkansas and changed that ignorant attitude.
Sad that there are people in America like bpickens82 who insult all voters by saying "I will hold my
nose as I go to the voting booths in November"....what a close-minded Republican who has the same
ignorant, stupid, attitude toward Democrats.
We are all Americans and whoever is elected, a charismatic black man or a strong compassionate
woman, will support the institution of the Presidency. That is what makes America in its majority
great. We are grateful that every American boy or girl has the chance to be President. They have
learned that when ordinary, not just the rich and powerful like Ronald, Father George, Nixon, W
Bush, and Franklin Roosevelt. Bill and Hillary and Obama and Harry Truman came from ordinary roots
and made their way to where they are and were and will be as any of today's young Americans can.
Intelligent open-minded Americans respect both Hillary and Obama and will vote accordingly in the
Primaries and in the General Election in November. The others can't even make up their minds who is
the best Republican. |

I don't think that Hillary Clinton is using the "black card" at all, mainly because she is currently
trying to win over black voters in South Carolina, who will be voting in their Democratic primary
later this month. African Americans form nearly half of all Democrats in South Carolina and Clinton
needs to reach out to them if she wants to win in this key battleground state. According to major
polls, however, Obama enjoys the support of the vast majority of African American democrats.
Hillary did not "make" Obama the black candidate in this race. In fact, Obama didn't focus on his
ethnic or racial background either, during much of his campaign. Sadly, it was the US media that has
seemed obsessed with the prospect of an African-American president and it is the press that appears
more interested in Obama's heritage, than in his actual policies. |

I don't think that Clinton is a racist at all.
Obama himself using the fact that he is black to influence black and ethnic voters so it works both
ways.
There's a unique situation here in that , for the first time in American history either a woman or a
black person has the chance to be US president and that's great. For a country that has proclaimed
it's the land of the free and full of equal opportunities , neither a woman, nor a black person has
held the highest office.
Politicians use all the tricks in the book to gain votes and there's nothing unusual about that.
Accusations and counter - accusations are all part of the game.
Hillary Clinton and her supporters have accused Obama and his supporters of using threatening
behaviour to influence voters in Nevada. They are saying he underlines his integrity , then allows
supporters to misbehave to swing events to his advantage.
It's difficult to know who and what to believe as Obama is trailing behind Clinton now. There'll be
plenty more accusations before November but that's elections and politics. |
