Every day, it becomes more difficult to blame George Bush, Dick Cheney and comrades for their seven years (and counting) of crimes, corruption and destruction of our political values. Think about it this way: if you were a high government official and watched as -- all in a couple of weeks time -- it is revealed, right out in the open, that you suspended the Fourth Amendment, authorized torture, proclaimed yourself empowered to break the law, and sent the nation's top law enforcement officer to lie blatantly about how and why the 9/11 attacks happened so that you could acquire still more unchecked spying power and get rid of lawsuits that would expose what you did, and the political press in this country basically ignored all of that and blathered on about Obama's bowling score and how he eats chocolate, Fact checking Clinton's stump speech and what was said on Saturday Night Live last night,wouldn't you also conclude that you could do anything you want, without limits, and know there will be no consequences? What would be the incentive to stop doing all of that? When are all of you so-called Democrats gonna wake up and stop this childish back and forth name calling and focus on what is happening RIGHT NOW in America and what we can do to stop it because it really doesnt matter who the Democratic nominee is if this administration has done what it wants to do before they are gone. Stop being mindless sheep! Oh and I know you won't post this msnbc because you refuse to post anything I have to say. Maybe I should call Obama supporters morons or bring up Monica Lewinsky.Would that get me on here? You guys are like fox news for liberals. You are no better than they are.

And does ANYONE think she doesn't enjoy the MONEY her husband receives for his views of the free trade agreement? Hillary is pulling the wool over the eyes of her supporters and laughing all the way to the bank! She's in the PERFECT position. She can SAy she's against it and still benefit from it! We ALL should be so lucky! I still want to know if this news IS news to the PA voters. Hopefully it will close the gap to zero and Obama will pull an upset in PA!

Chuck, why is it that important to report on their disagreements? I am sure you disagree with Mark Murray on so many things. But in the case of the Clintons, it is apparent that their disagreements have to do more with political expediency. They should have kept their disagreements to themselves or be perceived as trying to win votes by means of political posturing.

Hillary will say anything to get elected. Now we see more proof.

She "opposes" free trade with Columbia because that's what the polls tell her to say this week. Pretty hard to believe when her husband and her top people are working for it in the background though.

Not that Hillary would ever lie, of course.

"On the Colombia trade deal and disagreeing with her husband:"
--I have to notice that on the disagreements that she always takes the 'correct' position and Bill always takes the 'wrong' position. At least according to the Democratic voters.

--I'm trying to think of an example where Clinton stands up for something not popular with her base. Merit pay for teachers comes to mind first for me with Obama. Perhaps somebody has some insights into this.

Sandra, Chicago, IL — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:23:58 GMT

The problem with this is that Bill will continue to pursue lucrative questionable deals and this is the type of conflict of interest and influence that is not needed in American government. His potential role has never been defined and this is quite disturbing to the public. There are tremendous possibilities of scandals that lerk around the corner and the Clinton's continue to draw that upon themselves. What is most disturbing is that everything that happens to them and their lot in life is somehow the 'other guy's fault'- it was Paula ?, Monica, Whitewater, Rosewood, Travelgate, and now NAFTA-GATE, Columbia Free-Trade (CAFTA), and this doesn't even capture the number of 'misspeaks' about Northern Ireland or Bosnia. The problem is that the Clinton's lack MORAL VALUES and INTEGRITY. They are smart people(politicians) who can do a good job, but at the end of the day, it is only about them.

Bill Clinton is a LOBBYIST.

He's a very, very highly-paid lobbyist.

WHY DO WE CARE ABOUT BILL?

Bill Clinton is Hillary's biggest 'surrogate'.

Bill is expected to have some impact on the way the whitehouse works (if clinton were president.) ...There's been plenty of 'two-for-one' and 'co-president' innuendo.

Not only does Hillary accept money from lobbyists, she's married to a lobbyist that's FLEECED with lobby money. (What, do you think all the bucco-$ speeches are? just reminiscing??)

Does anyone see a pattern here? Hilary is constantly harping about her record (by which, of course she means Bill's record). She can not pick and choose which of "Bill's experiences" she can claim as her own. The only record she can really claim as her own is that she is a liar. She will do or say anything to get elected, and she thinks the American people are too stupid to remember what she says. If she steals the nomination I will not only vote for McCain but I will also change my party. Super delegates need to wake up and end this craziness because I am sure I am not the only person who feels this way.

Doesn't anyone know anything about the political history of this country? NAFTA was negotiated by George H.W. Bush. Bill Clinton pledged that he would add labor and environmental standards and he did so -- in side agreements. And NAFTA actually worked well for the first several years. As Hillary Clinton has said on numerous occasions, it became clear after a few years that NAFTA was not working as well as everyone had hoped.
Several persons on the White House staff, as well as two biographers (Carl Bernstein and Sally Bidell Smith) have stated that Hillary was opposed to NAFTA from the start, and Mickey Kantor, Bill Clinton's Trade Rep has reported that he was given the task of convincing Hillary to "come on board" ... just as she bowed to Pres Clinton's wishes, he would bow to hers. No matter what anyone says, there is always only one President.
The Media -- MSNBC most egregiously -- is doing to Sen Clinton what they did to Al Gore -- and that worked out so well for us, didn't it?

She started off her champaign with let's go back to the golden Clinton year, HA! We are still paying for them. I thought when a president was impeached it meant they were fired? Please excuse my bad grammar and spelling because during those wonderful years I was working three jobs, to pay my husband to sit on welfare.

The other side is not the enemy.

Personnaly, I think it's nice to see a husband and wife that are so totally involved in our government and manage to admit they have differences on some issues....most likely having differing views occasionally could end up with an excellent solution that considers both sides of an issue.

All you who enjoy hating the Clintons for some reason, consider that none of the Clintons have ever hated you...they've always had their heart in the right place as far as America and it's people are concerned...sure they aren't perfect or always right, but who is?

So if you think someone else would do a better job, vote for them and extoll their virtues, but the Clintons have never done anything to deserve hate.

If she disagrees that strongly about the Colombia Free Trade Agreement, and IF Bill really was upset that Mark Penn was in Colombia pushing the FTA, then how about the Clintons giving back the $800,000 that Bill made in speeches to push the FTA? Just to remove the conflict of interest.

"I strongly oppose the Colombia Free Trade agreement, but my family will keep the $800,000 we made for Bill to push it."

I am an Obama supporter and I agree that the super delegates should vote according to their conscience and based on who is more electable in November. They should not blindly vote based on who wins most pledged delegates.

The reason we have Primary elections is to determine electability in November so guess what, Obama is proving that he is electable, which he has done against Ms. Clinton who was the presumptive nominee up until January. Hillary is the one who is unelectable. She couldn’t even win the primaries, how can she win the General Elections. Besides she has the highest disapproval rating of any candidate. 45% of the electorate will never vote for HRC. So she only has a 55% electorate to work with. Both Obama and McCain have disapproval ratings of 26% and 27% respectively. Go figure who is more electable.

Democratic nomination was Hillary's to lose and she is losing it. How can anyone argue that she is more electable in Nov when she screwed up the primaries. It takes strategy and smarts to win elections... different strategies for primaries and general elections. Hillary has failed in the first test, and is now asking us to trust us with a bigger test in November. Obama is a once in a life time candidate who is winning against odds. And those of you who are calling him racist, you really belong in the other party, please vote for McCain whoever the democratic nominee is. I am an Obama supporter but will vote for Clinton, if she is our nominee.

It is so clear that she knew this, this is just another way to get free publicity and we all know this.

This is just another NAFTA deal that there was a slip that Penn let get out and if it hadn`t happen we would have never known until it was too late.

Late as in more jobs shipped to other countires.

NAFTA all over again. She got caught. Why do you think that Penn is still working with the campaign,
because they have too much invested in the Colombia
trade deal already and they will not back out now that is why Bill is pushing for it.
Theres money to be made and the Clintons do not care whom they have to step on to get it even if it is the American people.

No! I say that HRC is trying to pull a fast one, mark my words and see what the out come will be.
