19. LOL - well I did challege for first chair in HS (a first in State went to my head) -& lost - which
taught me the pain of rejection had no good side.

(of course that is wrong - the rejection turned me toward science/math - and away from a "brass" career that I was actually not very good at - I had no "feel" for the story telling in the music - and I shortly thereafter lost much of my hearing working in a steel mill one summer - and today can't carry a tune - making the grankids tell me to mouth the words so as to not disturb those with sensitivity to bad singing :-) )

21. You sing if you damn well feel like it. Tell your grandkids to contact me
if they have a problem with that!

Plus -- the band teacher who chose the first chair over you was probably a Republican.

Intellectual dishonesty? Most Clinton supporters are OK with it if from Clinton, too.

23. I did - and there are no such links to proof of Hillary dishonesty - just assertions as are
posted by the smear and slime crowd here on DU

10. no - read the Canadian memo - note the O lie about there being no meeting - check the
CNBC Ludlow show where Obama's economics adviser said to not worry about cost of Obama social programs because Obama did not intend/expect them to pass, note that the Canadian memo has never been said to be incorrect except by Obama who said the writer misunderstood what was being said, note the Iraq war out in a year is not operative and is only a best case scenario if Obama advisers are talking outside the US.

debunked - ? - no - never

ignored by Obama supporters on DU - always

9. I would recommend that if you really like Hillary...
that you should click on over to MyDD.com and stay there. They are all-Hillary all the time! IMO, they can have her - too many Hillbots spoil the soup. The article you linked is from March 3rd, and the "factoids" in it are long debunked.

Edited on Sun Mar-09-08 12:20 PM by dmordue
Maybe she will stop being one of the most habitually secretive candidates then?

15. NO. Obama is a Chicago~style Charlatan. Lying is in his nature. It's his raison d'etre.
He will always talk trough both sides of his mouth, because he gets fools to believe him.

18. I'm from
Chicago.

If I told you what I thought of you, and your last comment, I would probably be banned.

Use your imagination.

Oh yeah, isn't Hillary from the Chicago area?

Why isn't she a so called Chicago style politician?

20. Hillary is Park Ridge (I'm Waukegan) - the comment should be about Illinois politics - not just
Chicago.

"Chicago style politician" has no meaning to me - but Illinois GOP smearing and cheating and media control bring back memories of an anti-union, anti-women, anti-many groups world.

24. She's never run for office from Cook County,
and doesn't have Emil Jones as her mentor. Never bought a house from Rezko, either.
