This is pretty much what it's getting to. Not a day goes by where someone affiliated with either campaign says something negative about the other and they have to resign, apologize and cause a huge media dust up over a simple opinion. What happened to having an opinion? If you don't agree who cares, its just an opinion, it's not fact.
To all the people who are speaking on behalf of, about or in the direction of Hillary or Barak just keep it to yourself. Only speak about your candidate and the good they've done for mankind. You are only permitted to speak in glowing flowery remarks that cannot be deemed sexist, racist, homophobic, anti-Christian or against puppies.
The Barack staffer called Hillary a monster. Now that she's no longer on his payroll she still thinks she's a monster and probably the b-word too. What did that really accomplish? Who cares if someone who works for your opponent doesn't like you? This is a non-issue. I'm sure many in the Barack and McCain camps have called her worse and believe she is such. My question is who cares? They aren't supposed to like Hillary anymore than Geraldine Ferraro is supposed to like Obama. Ferraro claims that Obama being black is what is helping him. Who cares if it is? Why even say it? He's obviously black, not changing any time soon. He could get 85% of the black vote in the general election just by showing his face. That's not his fault. Obama being black helps him about as much as Hillary being Bills wife helps her. If she wasn't the wife of Bill Clinton would she be a viable candidate? I think not. Is she going to renounce her marriage to even the playing field? No and she shouldn't.
Both of them have their advantages. Stating the obvious is a waste of air. People in general need to stop being so offended by every little thing. Calling a white person a racist because they acknowledge that race exists is ridiculous. We're not color blind. Saying that a black person has specific advantages because they are black is not completely untrue, just realize that white people also have advantages because they are white.
As a voter I care what candidates are going to do not what the other person is not going to do or why one candidate is winning over another. Stating that Obama is winning because he is black doesn't change the fact that he is winning. People who vote for and against him have known from day one that his mom is white and his father is African. Not a secret. All of these unnecessary attacks are really getting tiresome. I'm fine with people having opinions no matter how mean spirited and wrong they may be. This needs to be over already. I'm already very troubled by the lack of real ideas from both camps to change the country for the better. Instead of talking about each other lets talk about the fact that gas use by the US has steadily decreased while the price of oil is hitting record highs, let's discuss the housing market, what about the rising rates of unemployment among US citizens, lets do something about illegal immigration (how can you have 12 million jobs americans don't want and have rising unemployment, makes NO sense), the constant devaluing of the dollar, Iraq, Afghanistan (other than Prince Harry), East Africa, Cuba, China, record incarceration rates, education, real health care, Bush having the time to dance a jig for reporters while all of the above are going on. I could go on and on.
This name calling is STUPID on the parts of both camps. What Obama and Hillary should say about the Ferraro and monster comments: "She like everyone else is entitled to her opinion, my supporters and I believe I am in this position because of who I am as a person, there are many other issues that are far more important to Americans that I would like to discuss..."
