Those questions get asked, but true, definitve answers are not given. The best politicians can take the toughest questions and turn them on their side.

Many of the candidates, when asked a question, just keep repeating the same sentences we've heard over and over and then completely start talking about something else or some unrelated accomplishment. It annoys me when the person can't even give an honest answer.

It is amazing how she can answer a question you asked and tell you an answer that has nothing to do with the question you asked, but she makes you think it did. Do you think that she will have male pages if she wins??

As did most Senators...do we all forget the President stating "...we know they (the Iraqi's) have weapons of massdestruction "...! All politicans try to shift answers to questions that THEY are most comfortable giving. Rhetoric is so common a person must study voting history and prior actions by a candidate.

I can not off the top of my head give answers to What has she Done for NY! BUTI do know quite a few indivduals that her office went to bat for and got decisions overturned or final decisions that were not made for YEARS prior to her office getting invloved.

I will bow out of the debate now...I just really wanted to know about the venue for the event? My parents said never discuss your politics or religion and you will be fine...
chow for now!

Thats why we need to keep our guns, we'll be fighting them here if Oblama or Hellori Dillari Dock gets in, then you'll really need health care.

True but. . . . almost half of the democratic senators did not vote for the war (21 of them) and well over half the democratic congressmen did not vote for the authorization of force. The political winds of the time where for force authorization; most americans were concerned that Iraq had kicked out all inspectors and wanted action taken. Now things are reversed. Hillary manages to demonstrate an utter waffling on the issue; no leadership, just following public opinion.

But considering the waffle, one has got to give her points for good old Clinton chutzpah; boasting that she should be the one answering the 3 am call. . . As Obama replied, anyone can pick up the phone. . . . it's the answer that's important.

Your parents are right but that advice was before these forums where everything can be said and nothing is personal or important

That's right. Now she makes it seem like she was never for it. What a phony.
