" Hillary, Give It Up"

Personally, I think Hillary would make a great President and I always saw "Bill" as an asset.
My rational mind tells me that Bill would be part of a Hillary presidency. Is that all bad?
I was never a big Bill fan; but, objectively, which I always like to be, Bill left us with a gigantic surplus and no war. We now have two wars and the biggest deficit in history that we will be living with for years in ways that none of us can even know now.
Although I've been a Hillary supporter because I think we need a woman, other women(INCLUDING IN MY OWN FAMILY)simply do not like her. Obama is now ahead in Texas, he is leading in the national polls, and obviously ahead in delegate count. So, Hillary, it's time to give it up.
To be honest, how Obama, a relative newbie, overcame Hillary, an experienced politician, is a mystery. Barack's support, on the other hand, seems to reinforce the idea that his candidacy is more a movement than a one person
candidacy.
Since Obama will more than likely be the Democratic nominee, for the good of her party and the country, Hillary should step aside. I honestly feel that the Democrats need a landslide to turn the country around. Obama may be the catalyst.
We need change. If you want the status quo, vote for John McCain who says we'll stay in Iraq for a 100 years if necessary. KT

VIETNAM GRUNT SPEAKS OUT
But what our leaders can do is screw up so bad that us old goats end having to defend our homeland, door to door. Did you hear that the Army extended the age to enlist from 36 to 42 years old just a few months ago?
There was nothing more demoralizing and gut-wrenching to me in Nam and even to this day than when we were ordered back into villages that we had just fought in and won and many had died for just a few weeks earlier.
You can't even begin to imagine the hopelessness we all felt as we spilled our blood over and over on the same damn spot endlessly. Talk about the killing fields, how about calling it "a young man's Country's butcher fields".
And now, God help us, a 100 years more in IraqNam !!! As much as I respect Sen. McCain as a Nam war hero and POW, I still have to ask: What kind of total insanity is this? War is hell, but continuous war is hell on earth.
