It has been said during this primary season that Hillary and Barack are not so far apart on the issues and their ideology. With the discovery of the next two articles I believe I have the reason why they are not so far apart! Wake-up AMERICA!!!! http://www.aim.org/aim-column/obamas-communist-mentor and not to leave Hillary out: http://www.aim.org/publications/aim_report/2003/15.html I sure know I want one of these two as my leader! (Karl Marx would be so proud!)

Candidates like Clinton and Obama only stand a chance to get elected in the USA because we now have too many tax-eaters vs tax-payers. A tax-eater consumes more of the country's resources than he contributes. A tax-payer foots the bill for the tax-eaters. The tax-eaters have no clue where the money comes from to pay for their government programs. Nor do they care. The solution to our problem of completely unqualified, pandering, elitest, lying candidates like Clinton and Obama is to deprive the tax-eaters of the right to vote. Yes, I'm serious.

redyellowblackdog said it well. The differences between Hillary and Obama are minor when you consider that their overall beliefs are the same. They are socialists and believe communism is a good thing. While it took me some time to read through those links, it does explain a lot about the both of them. The people who support them either don't have the time to do the research or they just don't care.... or they have fallen into the hate Bush trap and mistakenly believe that Bush is the worst possible thing that could happen to the US. I don't want either one of them to win either.

Bush is a capitalist, dictator, fascist. The people who support him either don't have the time to do the research or just don't care... or have fallen into the hate liberals trap and mistakenly believe that liberals are the worst possible thing that could happen to the US. I don't want a dictator in power. Political arguments just circle round and round. I stated almost exactly what you did but replaced certain terms. See how ridiculous I sound though?

AmericanFrenchBelgienGopher what is wrong with being a capitalist? Are not Facist Socalist, and if Bush is a Dictator then why is there a Democrat party. Just because you can throw out a couple of words does not mean you should.

Hilariousgopher... We don't have Fascism in our country yet, however the left leaning liberals are trying very hard to make it so. Your false assertion of Bush being a fascist is in error, and you are much too young to even know what that means anyway. Your hit and run tactic of commenting without making a post of you own is the act of a coward... and shows that you are aware that your comment is indefensible by you or anyone else. The fact that you are a foreigner negates your opinion anyway... and since we already know you to be of French descent currently living in Belgium makes your comment irrelevant. The fact that you are 15 tells me you are spending too much time playing on your mommy's computer when you should be studying to be a good communist. The fact that you hate Bush means nothing. The best thing you can do is just keep quiet about things that you clearly do not understand. Capitalism is much better than socialism/communism in all aspects... under capitalism everyone is able to advance and improve their economic station in life, whereas socialism stifles and prevents improvement and enslaves everyone under it's influence. What a foolish child you are.

Comrade Rodney yes our socialistic friend in the Democrat party have given us two GREAT choices for the President of the United Socialistic States of America. What a great honor it would be to see socialism finally winning here in the world last hope for a free and capitalistic country. I cannot want to see the new taxes and spending that these two proud socialist can come up with.

I get it that you won't be voting for whomever the Democrats end up nominating and that's certainly your prerogative. I don't want McSame as MY leader! You can post as many conservative links as you'd like and it will work with some people, to be sure - heck, there are still people who think Obama is a Muslim who was sworn into the Senate using the Koran - but most people want change. Most people don't want a 100 year war - and, yes, I know we have to be as careful getting out as we were careless going in - most people want health care that's affordable and accessible to all and that's just for starters. I understand and I honestly respect the opinion of those of you who think any health plan that somehow covers everyone, without as McCain proposes doing away with employer provided insurance as we know it and increases costs for those with pre-existing conditions and the elderly, qualifies as "Socialized Medicine" and that term is meant to scare the he11 out of people. I could go on and on, issue by issue, but we've been through it before many times so there are some things on which we'll have to agree to disagree. I'll just end this response by saying wait until the general election campaign and people get to know McCain better. There will be a lot of questions being raised about him as well! Annie

You're right, Annie, most people want some sort of change. What worries me is that the change Senator Obama proposes he refuses to make clear it is just a "chnge for the better"! I have this uneasy feel ing that Barack Obama's change for the better and America's idea of change for the better will differ enormously! But , of course, that's just my opinion.

i have always been a fan of hilary clinton and i would love for her to be our next president. i think she would do a really great job as the leader of our country. she is extremely intelligent and has a great deal of experience on her side. she knows the how the white house and washington operates and she has some really good ideas for healthcare which is a huge issue for me. my husband is self employed and we have to pay for our own health insurance and we frankly cannot afford it so we do without. we have no dental insurance and i have to have extensive work done on my teeth and gums and cannot afford it so i will eventually lose my teeth. this should not happen in a country as rich and great as the US and we need a leader like her to change it.
