Looking at What's Not Working

by Susan Estrich

The most interesting thing about the Republican race for president, at least so far, is not what's working, but what isn't.

The best known candidate, the superstar, America's Mayor Rudy Giuliani is floundering in the early contests.

The best financed, best organized candidate, not to mention the best looking, has been unable to translate all his money and organization, not to mention the neighboring state advantage in New Hampshire, into better than a second-place finish in eith ...

Wow, Susan, best commentary I have read in a long time. Great analysis of the GOP race so far. You nailed it right on the head. The sad thing is how thrown the GOP is by all this; they still don't get it. The train has left the station with their candidates of choice still standing on the platform. By the way, I am a socailly conservative independent who leans Republican. Let me tell you, this race has turned my world upside down. Although I appreciate your class and the fact that you never take the low road like some when debating your positions, I never thought I would see the day that I would agree with you over the the right-wing pundits! I never realized what a bunch of elitists they are until now. The GOP's base is changing and they need to wake up.

Please help Hillary get this message out about Mr. Obama's church. I haven't seen her campain address this subject, but as a Hillary supporter, this must be taken to the American people. Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It's the Trinity Church of Christ. I found this interesting. Obama's church: Please read and go to this church's website and read what is written there. It is very alarming. Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their website, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is AMERICA even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama's church. You guessed it. Doesn't look like his choice of religion has improved much over his (former?) Muslim upbringing. Strip away his nice looks, the big smile and smooth talk and what do you get? Certainly a racist, as plainly defined by the stated position of his church! And possibly a covert worshiper of the Muslim faith, even today. This guy desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in Africa! I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all of our family & friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency, is really scary.

While I, no time to check above-referenced website (ONE reference, alone does not make a wo/MAN), nice 2 C others, ID problems of racism, regardless of statesperson's race; as well--ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO WATCH THE MONEY FLOW...I WILL remark that your fear of ISLAM is UNfounded, because the 9/11 events were funded multi-nationally, AND, I suggest, by practiioners of satanic rituals (ask why Henry Kissinger was dismissed from the 9/11 Commission..?). RE, '08 ELECTIONS: Besides the testimony of voting machine tweak software designer, Tom Feeney, in Florida, 2000, HILLARY, is the choice of the same elitests, to carry on their agenda for the AMERICAN POLICE STATE as hubby Bill's Executive Order 13139, has already set forth. COME UP TO SPEED WITH REALITY IN AMERICA, AND WE'LL NOTICE ALSO THAT: NEITHER HILLARY, NOR OBAMA voted AGAINST IRAQ OCCUPATION fund cuts, which should be the pinnacle of a liberal--or, conservative--platform...Platitudes and popularity votes aside, BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THE CORPORATION OF COMMUNIST AMERICA, shall continue until WE THE PEOPLE HOLD ACCOUNTABLE, THE COUNTERFEITERS, CONTRADICTators, and PENTA CONS for high crimes and misdemenaors. IMPEACH CHENEY, H. RES. 799, IN THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE NOW, or AMERICA WILL SEE HILLARY WILL MARCH TO THE TUNE OF NANCY SINATRA.
