I understand your frustration

Believe me, primaries are often like this. I live in Brooklyn and Democratic primaries in Brooklyn are really, really nasty. That's the nature of politics.
Let me disagree on a few points. First off, much as I like Obama, and have endorsed him, Hillary is not nearly as bad as you suggest. She would make a good President, though you are right that she looks to the past while Obama looks to the future. I also would note that there is no evidence at all that the Clintons have committed any crime. The Clintons did not have anything to do with the Vince Foster and Ron Brown affairs. And Whitewater was manufactured by the media, distorting events to suggest that the Clintons acted improperly when in reality they acted exactly properly. I am not familiar with the Rose law firm and would be interested in learning what you have to say about it. But the other examples you cite I am familiar with and the Clintons did nothing wrong in relation to them.
I certainly hope Obama is our nominee, though I am willing to help either Obama or Clinton against McCain. But I don't want Clinton's record distorted either. I agree with much of what you say, but I don't see any evidence for criminal activity.

primary elections
Time nears,a decision needs to be made.
How can the leaders of the Democrat party be so obtuse to the majority of American voters so far in their expression and choice of Barack Obama for their representative to be the Democrat candidate for president in November?
The Democrat leaders will become the same PARIAHS the Clinton's are now if they allow Barack Obama to be robbed of the Democrat nod for the presidency.
How can you deny that there are not racial undertones in this contest?
Enough with the Rev.Wright issue already,you the Democrat leaders have allowed it to continue in the press as a way to ease Obama out.There is NO REAL STORY here!
Obama did not say the rethoric Wright spoke,get over it!
Hillary Clinton is an ugly candidate and an ugly craggly woman,the bitch can't even get a cup of coffee,pleaseeeee.Yeah she can relate to the people,NOTTTT
Hillary has used dirty tactics in this contest and has had her people committ subversive acts to undermine a decent man (OBAMA).
The moist offensive thing Hillary has going for her in using all of the most negative of factors is her CRIMINAL husband Bill Clinton..
Do you Democrat leaders really want to be dictated to by these 2 (Clinton's)once more?
Hasn't America had enough of the Clinton's and the Bush's and their pompus and arrogant rule??
If Oba,ma is robbed of the Democrat nod,Democrats lose!
It is that simple.
John McCain no matter how Bush-like he may seem to be now will look better in comparison to Hillary Clinton.
Hillary's illegal past (Rose law firm,Whtiewater,Vince Foster,Ron Brown,etc;etc;) as well as all the negativity of the impeached liar and past Democrat leader "Slick Willie Jefferson Clinton" will be an easy mark for even John McCain,I for one with several veterans will vote for McCain.
More than one VFW post in Upstate NY are wanting to vote for Obama for a change for the betterment of all of us .Obama is the future. Hillary is the past and "Same Old Thing"
Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi who is a wonderful woman and does her job greatly will be cursed and hassaled and torured if she allows Hillary to rule the land.She will have the wosrt of nemesis's she could posssibly imagine with this woman as president.
The Black Democrat caucus saddens me too,how can they not in total majority stand by a good and decent man such as OBAMA?? Many Black leaders are standing behind the wretched Hillary Clinton,why?
If all Blacks do not stand at this time to elect OBAMA they will never,I repeat never again in their life time have another chance to elect a Black American who is capable,intelligent and worthy to be president of the United States.
Why do Blacks choose to be subserviant to the Clinton's?? The Clinton's truly hate the Blacks,they have used them to their advantage in the past and as you can see Bill hastily disrespected all Blacks in South Carolina with his comparitable remark on comparing Obama and Jesse Jackson,which I thought was an insult to OBAMA to be compared to the Clinton ass kissing Jesse Jackson..
Say NO to Hillary and Bill Clinton now.
Get the powers that be to vote Obama strong in Indianna and North Carolina,the surrvival of the Democrat party is at stake.
