Uneven Clinton treatment
On July 30, a syndicated political cartoon appeared on the commentary section naming Barack Obama as “Obama-Man” and Hillary Clinton as “O-Bombastic-Girl.”
Why not a parallel construction so that Clinton is portrayed as “O-Bombastic-Woman,” following a superhero tradition including the Bionic Woman and Wonder Woman?
I do not yet have a favorite candidate in either party, but I am sorely tempted to vote for Clinton in order to express my discomfort at the uneven media treatment she is getting, from comments on her clothes to referring to her as Hillary while the male candidates are described by their last names.

That's a great reason to vote someone to be the president. Wow!

But it's chilling to have someone openly admit how little consideration is given to issues facing this country when deciding how to vote.
Now, all we need is someone explaining how they're going to vote for one male candidate over another based on the color of their socks.

Posted by on August 7, 2007 11:54 AMHer reasons to vote for Hilary are no worse tahn the majority of the voters, who have little knowledge of the issues except to vote for a candidate soley because they are a Democrat or Republican. Voting strict Party lines poroduces about as a good a candiadte as what she is doing
Posted by on August 7, 2007 12:42 PMConcerned citizens of America ask yourself "Who would Jesus vote for"? Actually he cannot vote because 1. he is dead and 2. he is not a US citizen. On second thought you better make that decision for yourself.

Posted by Get Real on August 7, 2007 06:47 PMGR, I hate perfectly written little correct sentences.
That was written in Jewish style. Or Yoda style.
