Dems Debate -- Slangin' Dirt in South Carolina

As Democratic presidential hopefuls prepare to debate in South Carolina, it looks like the people of Myrtle Beach have already begun slingin' the dirt around.

Check out these pics of a 20-foot tall sand sculpture built to look like a Clinton-Obama-Edwards version of Mount Rushmore. We're told this monstrosity took 750 TONS (no- we're not kidding) of sand to create ... and a ton of elbow grease.

Now only if they would work that hard in the White House!

76. Myself my Vote will go to Mrs. Clinton in the Primary in Florida! She is the one with her husband beside her to get the economy back on track.

Obama reminds me of a false prophet - there's something about him that not in our best interest. If, and I sure hope not, it comes down to him and or a Republican for the President of the United States, I will have to vote for the Republican. Which will be the 1 st, time for me since the first election I voted in, which was for Ronald Regan.

Hellooooooooo look what MEN PRESIDENT have done to this country, GOING DOWN THE DRAIN. Aparently you are not a smart, persistent inteliggent woman neither support a woman as a president. I DO! and so most of americans as the polls are showing.

HILLARY MAY NOT BE PERFECT, NOBODY IS, however she has stand up on HER OWN when the problems and the chips have been down. She has risen to survive and make a political carreer ALL ON HER OWN. Not like GWB who has carried an ear piece to get daddy's help, momma and even his wife and his 2 craizy drunk daughters.

HILLARY HAS PROVEN TO STAND THE HEAT AND SURVIVE SUCCESSUFULLY. SHE WILL MAKE A GREAT PRESIDENT WITH HER lovable Husband Bill at her side who also was a great president who left a big surplus just to have George Bush to blew it. Bill Clinton as we all know still loved , admire and respected by many world leaders.

HILLARYYYYYYY, YOU GO GIRL!

80. oops I didn't mean to say it doesn't include heads of state, they are heads of state....

Posted at 10:58AM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Adrienne

81. And an FYI, I am from NC where John Edwards is from, he is a handsome man, very charming, smart, and I like him. The thing is, he is very conservative, i.e., does not believe in abortion. I don't either, howerver, I wouldn't say what a woman should do with her fetus.

If John Edwards were elected, he could appoint a conservative Supreme Court Justice which could easliy affect the Roe v Wade decision, and women seeking an abortion would be back in the alley or a coat hanger.

Make sure you look at the whole picture before you vote.

GREAT POST !!!!!!!! THANK YOU perhaps this will wake up a lot of ANTI WOMEN for president.

Its a fact men are stronger to do labor work but women are stronger to survive a crisis and manage families with no pay just LOOOOOOOVE. Sometimes not even that just care and love for her children.

**** Men have the muscles and women the brains. ******

83. The sculpture would have been impressive if it had looked even remotely like any of the people it was supposed to be

84. Who is Barack Hussien Obama?

Very interesting and something that should be considered in your choice.

If you do not ever forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts...this is very scary to think of what lies ahead of us here in our own United States...better heed this and pray about it and share it.

We checked this out on "snopes.com". It is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr..., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dun ham, a white ATHEIST from Wichita, Kansas.
Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. Hi s father returned to Kenya. His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia.?
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocate to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school i n Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that that he is not a radical.

Obama's in troduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world. Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background. ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he
DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegiance nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to t he flag and slouches.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Please forward to everyone you know. Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!

Posted at 11:52AM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Who really is Barack Obama.............

85. What a bunch of imbeciles on this site. Stupid people claiming they will not vote for a woman, or that Obama is a Muslim. The American people better wake up and smell the coffee. This kind of diviseiveness and stupidity is what led us to elect the moron president we have now. Democrats, don't waste this moment - a vote for Shrillery is a guaranteed Republican victory in November! More than half of the country hates her, and with a well-respected moderate McCain the likely nominee, she will lose in a landslide. The dumb Democrats will be laughed at forever as the party who snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Full disclosure - I am a registered Republican who supports Obama, but will vote for McCain if Hillary is nominated. Multiply me by millions and that's what will happen in November.

86. * to #66 - WE ARE NOT SURPRISED BY YOUR REPUBLICAN HATING WAYS TOWARD THE CLINTONS. Yoiu mustbe deaf, blind and dumb not to see that AMERICAN who voted for your brainless president Bush will now vote for Hillary Clinton and her lovable, respected Husband who I am sure will support her smart, strong wife all the way. FOR THE LOVE OF THEIR COUNTRY THEY MUCH LOVE. As for his affair with Monica, just look at your Brainless President, Gulliani, Greenwich who just didn't cheat on their spouses but left them for their mistress. CORRUPTED REPUBLICANS!, Hipocrites too.

Sooooo, As for McCain who will have the Iraq war going for another 100 years I doubt he will win. I am sure Republicans would love for Obama to win the primaries cause they will eat him alive!. and sadly america wil end up again with another hipocrite republican president.

You vote for whoever you want, WHO CARES!!!!!!!

Posted at 12:06PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Hillary for President!!! ..................................

87.
SAME VOTERS WHO MISTANKINGLY SUPPORTED BUSH AS PRESIDENT ( well, Bush was not elected but SELECTED- fraude), WILL VOTE NOW FOR HILLARY CLINTON, THOSE THOUSANDS OF VOTERS HAVE GREAT MEMORIES OF LOVABLE, HUMANITARIAN, CARING BILL CLINTON WHEN PRESIDENT, He loved everybody with no prejudice of race, color, gender or age. VERY SIMPATHETIC HUMAN BEING.

Hillary and her SMART, caring husband Bill will be great for this country again.

For the hipocrite men who refered to Bill Clinton as horney, I will just say the ones who don't admit to be are hipocrites!!.

Posted at 12:20PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by Hillary for President!!! ..................................

HILLARY AND BILL RULES AND REPUBLICAN DREWLS !!!!!!

HILLARY, YOU ARE LOVED AND RESPECTED BY THE MAJORITY OF AMERICAN VOTERS. YOU GOOOOOO GIRL!!!!

Mr Clinton we love you too. You were a great President!

Posted at 6:35PM on Jan 22nd 2008 by The Clintos rulesssssss........

89. Who cares? I did not watch the debate because Dennis Kucinich was excluded. Without him the debate becomes a he said she said bickering contest between Clinton and Obama and the public ends up hearing nothing at all on their so-called universal health plans, Iraq/Iran war stances, GAY marriage stances, the NAFTA, CAFTA, WTO nightmare, repeal of the USA Patriot act and IMPEACHMENT.

Don't let the media stop YOUR questions from being answered! You are being duped into watching an expensive infomercial for the media's choices for President. Demand that Kucinich remain in the debates or end up hearing more of the same bickering created by the press to sell headlines.

90. I have closely watched the debates on both sdes
What I saw last night was BO acting like a spoiled brat
When the heat turns up he turns snotty
Both Clinton and Edwards gave him extended time (as he always takes) to speak, yet when they would speak he interrupted so much it was hard to hear what they were saying
Is it his strategy to over talk every one so that he is the only one heard?
How childish
To vote present on that many votes is like saying(I didnt neccassarily not put my dirty underwear in the hamper I just didnt like where the hamper was sitting at the time but my intention was to put them in there
We all listen to Sean Hannity bag on the Clintons every night for the last 15 years or so but yet he handles BO with kid gloves hmmmm
Is he afraid to bag on him???
