Clinton Under Fire
CBS News is reporting that Hillary Clinton exaggerated the danger she faced during a visit to Bosnia near the end of that conflict in 1996. A few days ago she said that her aircraft landed under sniper fire and that she and her entourage had to run with their heads down to their vehicles. CBS video shows that she actually walked casually, amicably greeting people along the way, with her teenage daughter at her side.
A Barack Obama spokesman said Clinton's Bosnia story "joins a growing list of instances in which Senator Clinton has exaggerated her role in foreign and domestic policymaking." I suppose lost on him is the fact that Obama has no experiences to embellish. In 1996 he was still in the early stages of being taught how to unite the country by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright.
I keep wondering how any sane adult could seriously consider either one of them as the leader of this country. And then I remember that what the Republicans are offering is not all that great either. But I will hold my nose and vote for John McCain.

Vote third party.
I'm tired of being shown a menu with only "Liver and Onions" and "Deep-fried Beets" on it and being told they are the only choices a reasonable person could make.
I would love to vote third party if one would offer a decent candidate.
At this point, it doesn't matter. And I know you don't think the major parties are offering anything decent.
Third parties will start offering better candidates if they get money and attention. One way of attempting to give them attention is by diverting votes from the Red and Blue to others. The hope is that third parties will get enough percentage of the vote to force the media to cover it.
Yes, it's a pipe dream.
