2007 NH Democratic Presidential Debate (Part 7)

[RUREDY2ROK]

obama has the best healthcare plan by far.. healthcare should not be mandatory, it should be affordable....

[tmoe41]

socialism

that is what they want

[Johnson154]

Socialism. That is what Bush gave us when he centralized the banks. Stop pointing fingers at the wrong people.

[Amebixfan]

These candidates are all Manchurian Candidates (Obviously not talking about Gravel and Kucinich)

[Google0002]

hilary is weak on healthcare.. obama's plan is much more feasible i think.

[Quackerjack44]

Democrats just LOVE taxes.

[SthrnCiara]

Yes Hillary posses the ability to speak clearly but if you base who should be president on the clarification of speech BUSH SHOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN THE FU*KIN PRESIDENT FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS. Obama has a better game plan in almost every area that has been debated on. I think Hillary would be fantastic as a Vice President and nothing more. She used to be my #1 before the debates started. Now I feel her and Obama would make a fantastic team but nothing more

[xWiseguy88x]

I agree. It sounds like both HIllary and Obama are on the same page when it comes to meeting the request from the american people.

[NYJared04]

Stop blaming Bush! Its not his fault

[SthrnCiara]

Uh...Maybe you should've just not commented because you obviously had nothing worthwhile to say.

[NYJared04]

@SthrnCiara

Let me rephrase that. Its unfair to put all the blame on George Bush. Mike Gravel said that it was the Democrats in the Congress and the Senate who gave away their power to Bush to declare war.

And you can thank Joe Lieberman.

[freakyfatdog]

Thanks for posting this.

[tehkoalainsurgency]

english IS NOT the "official" language, but the "de facto" lang. of the US. all states must recognize it as the official language in order to become "official" on a fed. level. furthermore, a state tried to make it official but they found it to be unconstitutional (1st)

[lifestraight]

I agree with Hilary's position on the official language

[stevegojira]

English is the official language. People opposed to it ahould get used to the idea. Like richardson and dodd, i speak another language, but English is our official language. ohbama "I think john(edwards) has a lot of good points in his plan" - is the only intelligent thing he has stated so far.

[5o1id]

Kucinich needs more air-time, he definitely doesn't get to address these issues enough.

Of the more popular three, Edwards is easily the best bet.

In fact, a Edwards/Kucinich bill would be the most ideal.

[Nikolus]

More like, Kucinich/Edwards :)

[5o1id]

Definitely, my mistake there.

[maclover348]

it would have to be Edwards/Kucinich. I personally prefer Kucinich, but I think non uber-liberals (like myself) would have a hard time voting for someone like Kucinich.

[sgandms]

If you are upset with the current candidates, check out Mike Gravel off-stage. Watch his videos, read his stances on important issues. This isn't politics as usual - this is a real guy wanting real things for our country. Today is MASS DONATION DAY. Please donate what you can at gravel2008(dot)us. Lets get REAL change in the White House and in the world.

[xifesaelp]

obama you just lost my vote.

You are simply talking about more of what we have now. Previous efforts to fix a little here and there have lead us to where we are. Surely you know this?

[Jadyellow8]

Vote Biden or Obama

[DJ80s]

I'm trying to decide between Edwards, Obama, and Biden out of Democrats. They all have their good points.

In the end I think they're weaker than their oposition of the other party though.

I like McCain the best of all.

[sgnhometown]

In this country, the rich will live and have power, and the poor, well, will have to wait for their turn to get rich. Most of these candidates are sponsored by companies and interest groups to run campaign, even at a very low amount. Now how do these people will transform the poors' lives? Easier said than done. WE NEED A REVOLUTION! nah that's too rough hah

[success5B7]

No one is going to transform your life for you.. not neighbour, not even the government. You have to do it yourself. Get off that couch and go outside :)

[wstpeterw]

from what i have seen from Hillary i do not understand how she is doing so good in the polls.

[cdx559]

if you want to know why shes doing so good its probably becuase she has the name "Clinton" and you know the majority of liberals want the "Clinton" name back in the white house

[rrtdog54]

She offered the only intelligent explanation why English was not voted the official language of the US. Baraks response was meaningless, I do not understand how he is doing so good in the polls,

[huhuhu555]

I AGREE WITH YOU RRTDOG54... obamas answers are usually meaningless and dont really uphold clear messages. Hilary is atleast able to clearly and intelligently give explainations.

[agedogggg]

That's rubbish. Obama simply points out that the question is side-stepping the real issues that are at stake.

And how exactly, huhuhu555, are Obama's responses on healthcare in any way meaningless or lacking a clear messages? The fact that you can't understand the meaning does not make them meaningless.

[ribbygottodo]

Excellent debate from Edwards and Obama. This debate convinced me that Hillary is fake not right / dangerous for the US and rest of the world. Like Job Biden as well. But I think Edwards and Obama should run as a joint ticket. We'll get our woman president some day but sorry don't think it is Hillary.

[DJ80s]

I totally agree. Proof is how Hillary handled Bill's infedelity. She supported him in public just because she wanted the power and chance to run for president. Now she's trying to split hairs and play sugar coat pollitics.

[brosbdm]

voting for ron paul would be a careless experiment

[gratefulcore]

Ron Paul in 2008!!! The one canidate who preaches the CONSTITUTION. Please people... listen to this political rambling and then listen to the clear direct problem solving that Ron Paul offers... Ron Paul in 2008!!!

[classicguitar82]

God! Look at this socialist love fest lets just all embrace socialism under a Clinton Bush homeland security state. Makes me want to kiss a statue of Joseph Stalin and love me some Big Brother too.

[Pilatocus28]

Socialism is fundamentally different from Communism. Furthermore, social programs do not equal a socialist government. Look at the New Deal.

[classicguitar82]

I am looking at the New Deal. Government socialist programs do equal government socialism. Thanks for giving us a nice example of doublespeak there Pilatocus28. You should be proud of yourself. I know Big Brother is.

[Pilatocus28]

That isnt what i said. Please read my response. I said social programs do not equal a socialist govt.

[classicguitar82]

Social programs are instituted by socialist governments. Socialist governments institute social programs to steal from the average productive working people in order to rob the poor and give to the STATE. Socialists hate the middle class, and have always insisted on 2 social classes; the super rich (them) and the super poor (us) who then have to beg the STATE for the money stolen from us. But remember it's always for the best possible cause "for the children". Wake up doublethink fool.

[stangboy34]

RON PAUL!!

[hgm005]

MIKE GRAVEL

[Graham1983]

haha Edwards is a total ken doll. hes just got this mug, i cant even describe it. just looks like a politician - not a good look to have.

[DayTripper1025]

on the subject about health care thank you michael moore

[Jaguarandzii]

Edwards- LOL Bush's tax cuts raised tax revenue because of larger profits.

[icemanGFX]

Larger profits, do you really know what you are talking about? Bush has destroyed the value of the dollar by giving stupid tax cuts, putting us in deeper debt and putting us in this losing war, which will only destroy our economy because we are so stretched for resources

[eyeh8dog]

Speak English or Die!! (joke)  Seriously, people, we live in an English speaking country. If you're gonna live her, learn to speak English.

[coysthename]

I speak American not English. They're different.

[eyeh8dog]

Are you for real?!

[cybersash1983]

Jesus Christ, you are really stupid!

[ticktockfool]

Ron Paul 2008! Your answers are here.

[uchiaslayer]

you sound like your talking about the language the english speak and the language we speak. they're the same just spoken differently moron.

[TheNoTown]

The 2007 Drug Policy Reform Conference will be in New Orleans from Dec. 5-8 in the French Quarter. Be there and help end the failed war on drugs.

[james1844]

Ron Paul in 08' - say to universal (e.g. socialized) health care.

[Nepheshxoxo]

She is the president, i can see it lol

[ttime2003]

Exactly... i live in a border state. In my field now you can't get an interview with a company no matter how qualified you speak spanish. Now, i dont have the money or time to pay for a spanish course, so why can't i complain? how am i sounding like a baby?

[MissZoeR]

You're sounding like a baby because you're whining. A baby cries so that someone else can get him something; an adult is supposed to be able to get it himself. You want a job, you have to work hard for it. I know you are frustrated, but the way you are going about handling things is not productive at all. And even if English is made into the official language, that doesn't magically guarantee you a job.

[ttime2003]

english should be the official language. I'm tired of not being hired b/c i'm not bilingual, and i'm tired of calling places, and having to press one for english. everyone should either learn to speak english or suffer the consequences. if you go to china they dont give a damn about you speaking english, you have to find another way to communicate or just dont go there without a translator.

[willzuma]

Dude, you have no one to blame for your lack of bilingual studies, but yourself. Join the Global Economy, where we need to start doing business in Chinese, Hindi, and Arabic. Those are the nations that are fast becoming the brokers of economic might in the world. Grow up. You sound like a baby.

[devilembace]

true true, bilingualism is an asset but it shouldn't exclude ppl who are proficient in english. Its the international language and should be the primary form of communication no matter which countries are surfacing strong in the current global economy.

[shaashiie]

But China isn't a "melting pot" ;)

[gurlluva1]

Bottom line...Universal health care for EVERYONE will not work...no one wants higher taxes. Obama has the right idea. Clinton made some good points as well.

[jonperry]

For part six just click on Hobobob10's name

[zbobster]

I just wanted to say, you're amazing and thanks for putting all these up!!

[prashantsolomon]

Edwards is the best person to be the next President of the United States. He appears to be the most genuine and admits his mistakes easily. He is positive in his vision and can inspire the nation to regain the confidence and credibility that George Bush has caused to be diminished.

[mozartsnum1fan]

how long is this debate? will there be a part 8 or 9?

[kissesLearning]

Thank you for posting these clips. I was unable to watch them on TV and appreciate the time you spent putting them up. Please continue...

[danhegelund]

I too very much apreciate you posting the debate, as I live abroad and have no other way of seeing this. Thank you!

[1stNeoSpartan]

oh nevermind.... I'll check later to see if part 6 and part 8 are up.

[1stNeoSpartan]

HEY WERE ITS PART 6????

[seizure2]

what happened on the issue with immigration with senator Richardson? Conspiracy? haha

[pagola]

Hillary is so sexy

got puss
