Hillary: No way to McCain-Palin

Posted: Thursday, September 04, 2008 10:53 PM by Mark Murray

From NBC's Mark Murray
Hillary Clinton just released this statement: "The two party conventions showcased vastly different directions for our country. Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden offered the new ideas and positive change America needs and deserves after eight years of failed Republican leadership. Sen. McCain and Gov. Palin do not."

"After listening to all the speeches this week, I heard nothing that suggests the Republicans are ready to fix the economy for middle-class families, provide quality affordable health care for all Americans, guarantee equal pay for equal work for women, restore our nation's leadership in a complex world or tackle the myriad of challenges our country faces. So, to slightly amend my comments from Denver: NO WAY, NO HOW, NO McCAIN-PALIN."

What worries me about the Palin/McCain ticket most is their energy policies (especially in regard to drilling in the ANWR).  Given the current state of our environment, I think it is important for us, as consumers, to support 'green business.'  For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.
Indeed, Hillary! BRAVO!!!
I have never been so embarassed by the Republicans.
I resisted for years to switch party, but the time has come to move away from mediocrity and embrace peace and prosperity with an OBAMA/BIDEN administration. Their vision is clear for the people of America. Together, they will build our country's infrastructure, rebuild our image and respect abroad -
something sorely lacking in the Republican platform - regain our leadership role in research and development, and in the process, they will put America to work for AMERICANS!!!!

Yes, with God's Grace, they can!!! ENOUGH!!!!!
