Hillary believes in following the law; she has stated several times that she will release that information on or around April 15.
It's tiring to listen to the senseless minutia consistently spewed by the likes of cspan2 who are shallow enough to parrot the media, instead of their own opinions and conclusions.

It appears that the Iraq war will still be going on when shrub leaves office. If that is the case, do you think his Presidency will be viewed as a failure? How will history judge this administration?

Why did Ron Paul fail so bad? He had a great message and he is a really smart man.

Instead of continuing to quote his judgement of the past why doesn't Barack address the issue head on and state, "I am ready to become commander and chief on day one." If he has been endorsed by so many military personnel why doesn't he use them in ads stating that he is the candidate who they think is most prepared to deal with a national security issue? It seems to me that would be the best way to nip this issue in the bud with rebuttles from those who have made national security decisions directly.

Mr. Maher,
Which democratic candidate, in your opinion, would have a higher interest in the legalization of marijuana? I would also like to know the reasons behind your opinion. This is coming from Jim in AZ where we actually passed the law and the government shot it down. Thanks.

Hey Bill:
Would you please ask Joe Scarborough to respond to the IDIOT reporter on his "Morning Joe" show on MSNBC this week who said he wished that "All the 9/11 Truth Movement people would be renditioned out of the United States to secret camps (I'm assuming for the purpose of waterboarding etc.)
The fact that Joe went along with this moron's comments is VERY disconcerting, to say the least. Here's the clip of what happened:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtXNKZh3Cqo
I realize the whole 9/11 thing is a "sore subject" for you, but the fact is that millions of Americans and millions of other people throughout the world have serious questions regarding the final "9/11 Commission Report", including the heads of the Commission, Keane and Hamilton.
You are well aware of the fact that they wrote an op-ed in The New York Times regarding the destruction of the interrogation tapes by the CIA that had been requested by the Commission. They stated in the article that it was an "obstruction of justice" for those tapes to have been destroyed."
Come on Bill. We now even have members of the Japanese Parliament questioning the 9/11 Commission Report and asking for a new independent investigation.
And obviously you must be aware of the NYC Ballot Initiative being circulated now in NYC for a New Investigation into 9/11? They are collecting 45,000 signatures in order to put the question to the citizens of NYC in November.
Here's their website:
www.nyc911initiative.org
Here would be my question to Joe: "Do you believe, as the reporter on your show stated earlier this week, that all the loved ones of those who were murdered on 9/11, and all the pilots and engineers and architects and professors and NYC firemen and millions of other Americans should be sent to secret prisons overseas for torture simply because they doubt the veracity of the 9/11 Commission Report?"
Thanks Bill. You're a REAL mensch.
Love,
Char

How come everyone one says Obama is so great? He has not really said what he plains to do, or how he is going to do it. he just says everyone needs change. Well what kind of change? And to me it sounds like a Bush slogan, kinda like if "we dont fight them over there we'll have to fight them here" or "The world is a better place without Sudom". so please tell me why he is the best of the candidates besides hes is the least worse of them all.

Do you think that by drawing out the Democratic nominaton process that it will actuall help the Democratic party influence more Americans. Normaly, candidates stop campaigning after a handfull of states because the nominee is clear, but by drawing it out the candidate are forced to interact with people in states that they might not normally visit. In the long run, this may help them sway more voters to the Democratic ticket.

The fact that there are now rumblings about 'do over' elections in Florida & Michigan underscore the common-held belief of many African Americans?That even when you play by the rules and win, they will find a way to snatch it from you. I'm deeply troubled by this notion that somehow these two states, one of which Sen. Obama's name wasn't on the ballot in the 1st election, will be positioned as the swing votes.
Sen. Clinton's own campaign manager voted to strip the two states of their votes. No second-thought was given about this until he began to win. Now, as the reality of the fact that even if she beats him 75-25 in Pennsylvania, when her avg. margin of victory is closer to 8%, she will still NOT be able to catch him in pledged delegates. Sen. Obama's campaign is more grass roots than Sen. Clinton's and quite frankly it took time & effort for him to do as well as he has so far.
If the situation was reversed?this would be a non-issue.

Why doesn't anyone remember that Obama said, prior to the Kennedys' support, superdelegates should vote the way their state voted?

Is there any point that the DNC can intervene and simply drop Hillary from the party?
