I think we need to get back to basics. All these negative statements made are only a portion what the true facts are. Everybody takes the portion out they want to hear and then repeat it. Learn to listen.

Yes, it was taken out of context, of course! I saw a clip of his comments and he prefaced what is written here with (paraphrased): “I’m not familiar with what happened….” and then went on to give his sales pitch about what a President needs, obviously trying to boost himself.

I’m so sick of stupid, kneee-jerk reactions based on incorrect info….

Ummmmm – I was right with you until that last remark, which was, you have to admit, sexist.

That was sexist… Jesus H. Christ some of you people got some delicate sensibilities. Grow a pair.

Hillary’s foreign policy team is hardly anything to be thrilled with either from my point of view.

I’d like to know where she really stands on pardoning Libby. Not that she could do much about it, but we already know where Obama is, “let’s kiss the neocons and buy them some flowers.” This is why I’m left with Edwards as the only viable option.

luigidaman, here is exit poll information. i call your attention to the first 4-5 categories.

note that hillary gets her highest percentages from women not men. note that the highest percentage of people voting for her are women over 65. cohort.

note that the age group voting the highest percentage for obama is the 18-24 age group. cohort.

Age “cohortism”, gender, race – should these things even enter INTO a decision like this? Seems terribly superficial to me.

1) i first heard the evil word cohort when i went into the army. my unit was a cohort. radical dudes those army types.

2) there’s a thing called dictionary.com for words you don’t understand. here’s what they say about the evil word cohort.

luigidaman. if you choose to distort my words that is your choice.

susan herself has said that she identifies with hillary because as a woman the same age they went thru similiar experiences. kind of like how people who survived the depression are formed by their experiences and those who were not there did not.

susan has spoken in frustration of her daughters, and young women today, of their own cohort, who simply don’t realize what life was like for herself, and her generational cohort “back in the day.”

you wanna argue with her…i’ll be glad to hold your coat.

cont’d.
