Meet the Clintons alone in an ally on a dark night and it is believed the chance of you coming out without getting rapped by one and cut up by the other is not very good. It certainly would not attract Las Vegas style odds, and in 2008 they seem determined and poised to snatch defeat from the jaws of success for the democrats.
There is a reason white men, married men, and men of a certain age prefer Obama three to one. All one has to do is take a look at Hillary. Like one alcoholic or addict knows another, one look at Hillary and, even if you knew nothing else about her, you get the picture – you know, and the smart run for the hills while some destructive types have to hang around for the party.
If this is what you want…
This is Not It
The electorate like the online helpdesk team fell in love with Obama in part because of his positive message… because he was above everything the Clintons not only stood for but practiced over the years. We must ask ourselves who better reflects the politics, ethics, and work style of the 55th Speaker of The U. S. House of Representatives, Thomas (Tip) O’Neill? That person is our candidate! And, that candidate is not a good ole boy – or girl – from Arkansas or New York or Pennsylvania, or wherever they are from this week.
Many Americans feel Hillary is a monster. We know she and Bill don’t play by the rules. Just consider their history as well as their current push regarding the changing of the rules for Michigan and Florida to favor them at all costs. It is all about Bill and Hill despite her claims that it is all about you… that her desire to be President is for you. They are willing to throw anyone and everyone under the bus for personal benefit.
Obama, in the Tennessee Mountain Man’s opinion, should have stood his ground. Don’t throw anyone overboard to appease perjurers. We are in the corner with Harvard professor and former (unfortunately) Obama advisor Dr Samantha Power. Tell the Clintons to get over it and move on after all they see no issues with their surrogate referring to Obama as Ken Starr.
Americans must decide whether they want a fresh new start in everything politics, and whether we want someone indebted to no one but the people for their coveted position. The only alternative is gutter politics as usual with professional politicians holding positions doled out by party bosses, paid for with dollars by high powered lobbyists, and bought with the blood of the people who keep going to prison around the Clintons while they skate.
Remote Helpdesk 1 believes there is a reason Hillary is so divisive. She was the “b” behind, protecting, and enabling Bill and she is the secretative “w” in her own political and public life willing to unleash her husband as well as her feminine charms as required to bully or seduce. How many more people shall be sacrificed to team Clinton before we make up our collective mind that we deserve better and that we can have better, and then have the intestinal fortitude to stand our ground.
The only way to rid ourselves of the scandals of the Clintons from the past and those sure to follow any success they have is to banish them to the trash heap from which they evolved as we did the Enron Team. And, the only way to do that is to get past the manipulation both Clintons employ against the American people.
If This Is Whom You Desire
This Will Not Do
We don’t have to fear them says a web based helpdesk company… they are not virtual viruses. They are not to be pitied… they are not the victims of vast right wing conspiracies. We all know they are not to be trusted… they are closer to used car salesmen and their repo teams than anything. They are not Jack and Jackie and they are not the Beatles… they are not Sonny and Cher. They are not even Ike and Tina Turner (boy I hate using Tina’s name in the same sentence as the Clintons).
Why would any sane nation return to the White House one who was impeached the last time he held the office? Why return to the Presidency one who lost his license to practice law the last time he was in that position for lying to a federal body? oh. oh. oh. Make no mistake – Big Willy will run the show should the weeping offended feminine willow win.
Although he tried to rehabilitate his image during the Bush years, we know what kind of man Bill is. If only Vince Foster were here to tell Hillary’s story in his own words we might be able to determine what an evil person she really is. Do we really want these two at the helm of the most powerful nation on God’s earth?

With the Democratic and Republican primary campaigns already well under way, the American public is being involved in a major examination of our national priorities and direction for the years ahead including the issue of healthcare.
According to a Kaiser Family Foundation poll in March, after Iraq, healthcare is the single most important issue among American voters today.
And healthcare is an issue that we will continue to face regardless of what happens on the international front. It directly affects all of us, our families, our friends, and our country.
Following the Congressional efforts to introduce government negotiations of prescription drug prices, and as the battles for the nominations progress, the question before us is; “What should be the healthcare agenda for America?”
We as a nation face enormous challenges on the healthcare front. This country is the home to the most advanced medical expertise on the planet, yet many of our citizens have little or no access to affordable health care.
And while our healthcare system has helped more and more Americans live longer and healthier lives, the medical needs of a growing elderly population mean we must discover new and better ways to help our system deliver the kinds and levels of care that are needed.
Americans want real progress on healthcare. They want to see healthcare needs and issues addressed in a spirit of partnership, not partisanship. That’s means developing bi partisan solutions that reflect the best input and ideas from Congress, the healthcare community, businesses, labor unions, and of course the public.
What is clear is that America wants everyone to work together in a constructive manner. If we do so, major progress is possible.
Medicare Part D marked a huge bipartisan step forward in addressing the need for affordable access to prescription drugs for our senior citizens. Medicare Part D has succeeded because of its popularity and because it is working for people.
According to a Wall Street Journal / Harris Interactive poll:
* 68% of voters across the country said this program is a step in the right direction.
* 70% of enrollees say the plan has saved them money.
* 82% of enrollees say the plan has been easy to use.

What can we take away from this?
By working together, the members of the two parties were able to bring together the best ideas from both sides of the aisle to create a broad-based program that succeeds in achieving many critical goals.
It provides affordable access for all our nation’s senior citizens, assures that participants will continue to have the opportunity to choose among all the newest drugs (rather than a select, government-approved list), and supports America’s pharmaceutical research companies’ mission to develop newer and more effective drugs to address many of our most urgent medical issues and conditions.
As important as this landmark step is, however, we still have much more work to do to support the healthcare needs of all Americans.
As Americans, polling shows we are all united around basic healthcare principles:
* Americans should have the opportunity to get the best treatment in the world.
* Americans should have the freedom to choose their own doctor and primary care provider.
* All Americans need fair access to healthcare and security from rising costs, particularly costs associated with catastrophic illness.
The public expects real action. 64% of respondents in the Kaiser Family Foundation/Harvard School of Public Health survey felt that the president and Congress can do a lot about the cost of health care.
In terms of what should be done, the Kaiser poll found expanding coverage for the uninsured is at the top of the list of voter concerns. An overwhelming 85% want the government to do more to help provide health insurance for more Americans. People from every part of the country want progress on controlling health care costs, assuring access to medical care, and providing the highest possible quality of care.
67% want the President and Congress to increase spending on medical research for treatment and cures of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
Polling has also shown strong support for:
* Providing health insurance for all children.
* Supporting steps to improve implementation of medical technology to control costs and reduce medical errors.
* Training and locating doctors in rural areas and in economically deprived urban areas so that no one is shut out from getting needed care because of where they live.
* Increasing funding for medical research to help keep our country as the world leader in medicine and medical treatments.
Healthcare should not become a partisan issue. We all have too much at stake to let real progress get bogged down in political gridlock. This campaign season is the ideal time to put the emphasis where it belongs, and demand real, practical, and cost-effective solutions to the healthcare challenge facing our nation.
