Speak Up! Memphis

Super Tuesday

Voters are heading to the polls to vote in 24 primaries and caucuses around the country, including Tennessee and Arkansas.

Presidential candidates Sen. Hillary Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama are vying for the top spot among Democratic voters, while there is no clear frontrunner in the Republican campaign. Sen. John McCain took the lead in the South Carolina and Florida primaries, while Mitt Romney led in Maine. According to CNN, former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee won all 18 West Virginia delegates in the first contest declared on Super Tuesday. Huckabee, Romney and Rep. Ron Paul made in-person appeals to more than 1,100 delegates attending Tuesday's West Virginia GOP convention.

Eyewitness News Everywhere wants to know what you think? Who are you voting for and why? It's your turn to Speak Up! Memphis.

This was one of the saddest primaries I have ever voted in. Our choice is Rudy Hussein Clinton.  Or McManiac backstabber.  

I voted for Ron Paul.  We aren't going to attack Iran and finish this war.  If will go on forever.  Like Korea. Beware the Military/Industrial . . .    

George Bush had a chance to be the greatest president in history.  He had a chance to reverse the Carter disaster of returning the militant Islam to a modern state.  He flinched.

We now have a choice - war without end OR war without end and socialism.  We can't afford an empire anymore.  Especially when we aren't willing to actually declare war and win anymore - remember when we used to do that like in 1941.

My children can't afford for us to police the world - knock over Iran and come home or just come home.  This country won't resemble America at all by the time the Rudy Clinton finishes making us safe from Islam.  Ben Franklin said something about trading liberty for safety - what was it?

Sadly, this country hasn't resembled the America I grew up in for a long, long time and I doubt it ever will again.

Barbara Wise
Commerce Department Staffer

Died: 11/29/96 - As the scandals continued to swirl around the Commerce Department, and most of all about John Huang, one of Huang's associates, Barbara Wise, was found dead in her locked office at the Department of Commerce, partially nude and covered with bruises.

No cause of death has ever been announced. Oddly enough, following the discovery of her body, Bill Clinton made an unscheduled return to the White House from Camp David, claiming he needed a book of poetry in order to complete his inauguration speech.

Ron Brown
Former Chairman, DNC; Commerce Secretary

Died: 5/3/96 - Ron Brown died along with 39 other people when the T-43 (a converted 737 used by the Air Force) carrying the group on a trip to Bosnia crashed while approaching the Dubrovnik airport. On the verge of being indicted and having stated publicly his willingness to make a deal with prosecutors, Ron Brown's death brought to an end his ability to testify.

As of this writing, Judicial Watch has petitioned for the investigation into on Brown's dealings to be expanded to include his death.

Christopher Ruddy and Hugh Sprunt Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 11/24/97 "…The survivor. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Shelley Kelly, a stewardess, survived the crash for some four hours. Kelly and another stewardess had been seated in a jump seat at the very rear of the 737.

Hillary's humiliation: How she swept Bill Clinton's affairs under the carpet
by SALLY BEDELL SMITH

evening of August 15, 1995, when Monica Lewinsky - then 22 - bumped into Bill Clinton one evening at the White House and told him: "I have a really big crush on you."

Two hours later, she was performing oral sex on the 49-year-old President while he took a phone call from a Congressman.

Denied A Chance To Vote For Obama:

Yesterday I couldn't Vote until after work around 4:30 pm and myself and many other working African Americans got caught in the vicious storms that damaged our communities here in West Tennessee, Eastern Arkansas and Northern Mississippi were there is a high concentrated area of Black voters who work. This was my first time to vote as black working college student because I just turned 18. Thus a lot of black votes did not get assessed and may have lead to Clinton winning such states as Arkansas and Tennessee. I wanted to know what is being done to help people who are effected by Nature's Fury to help them make their voices count.

Two words- EARLY VOTING. When you wait until the last minute to do things, you take the chance of not getting to do it.

I voted early, and didn't have to worry about my voice being heard.

Now people want the government to offer them reciprocity for what Mother Nature did?  Where does this end?

Personal responsibility folks. You had the chance to vote early, you didn't. They said as early as last week when early voting was still possible, that the weather would probably be bad yesterday. Ever hear of a 10 day forecast? If you were worried about it, you should have voted EARLY.

You're upset because you feel  many 'working African Americans' got caught in the vicious storms and couldn't get to the polls to vote.  There were just as many, 'working whites'  in that same storm....I'm white, I work, I voted.  Where there's a will, there is a way.

My thoughts exactly.....  Yesterday there were more excuses why people didn't vote than voters....You are walking point, good job.

Here's a thought...

(Did Hillary Try To ‘Buy’ Puerto Rican Votes With Tax Refunds?

Sen. Clinton has inroduced legislation, S 1757, that allows some Puerto Rican residents who pay no federal income tax, to get child-credit refunds on their Social Security and Medicare taxes. Her bill has no cosponsors - not even her New York colleague Chuck Schumer.

If enacted into law, Hillary’s tax refund plan could end up paying out more than $50 million over the next five years. She is framing her bill as a way to offer Puertan Rican residents the same child tax credits available to other Americans.

One thing is to lie but to lie to your chld in such a manner… NO WAY SHE SHOULD BE PRESIDENT THIS WOMAN IS HORRIBLE

According to *** Morris Hillary Clinton has a much slower fuse, but she’s much more dangerous: she’s very very cold, very scathing, and doesn’t forget, so you don’t know when she’ll get the knives out for you.

In that way, she’s much more difficult to deal with for a hatred of most men  and women of power.

All these idiot white people who voted for Obama obviously don't live in cities where a black is the mayor.If they did they wouldn't vote the way they do.Ignorance is no damn excuse.Google up all the cities in the US ran by blacks and check out the corrruption,crime and poverty numbers for those cities.It is staggering.The numbers dont lie.

Mr.whitey

Nor do a sociopath bigot... like your self, you go out of your way to make belligerent comments to ire people into doing your toilet humor.

As  before , your bb gun mouth is going to write a check your as.s can't cash and you will be on the downside of the pavement when you could have simply found peace and harmony within a community.

Why don't you try rational dialog instead of your constant need for ignorance and bigotry.  

For you are your own worst enemy.
