Hillary haters (ie. Obamanics) you've been pwned by the rethugs and MSM |
|
They have been telling you to hate Hillary for 15 years and you dutifully obey, even though
1. She actually has a longer and better voting record on dem issues than Obama.
2. Her health plan covers nearly 100% of us, while Obama's covers only 50% of us at nearly the same cost.
3. There isn't a dimes worth of difference on their Iraq war votes in the senate.
4. He has far less experience to bring to the table. She has taken a rethug pounding for years, and just keeps coming back to kick their asses. He has no track record at all in that regard.
But the media and the rethugs have been pounding it into your head for years that you are supposed to hate Hillary. So you dutifully obey. You've been pwned, big time. They have taught you to hate one of the most consistently liberal members of your own party in favor of a guy that pledges to work with these same rethugs that have been attacking all things Clinton for 15 yrs.

When you have democrats beginning to believe decade old republican talking points because they have been repeated ad nauseum, the brainwashing is complete. CULTS use similar techniques.

Regarding the OP, nothing new being mentioned that hasn't been debated on a hundred other threads...and why would anyone expect insight from somebody who writes like a freckle-faced thirteen-year-old?

Yesterday I saw several attack threads listing Ken Starr talking points. I also saw Obamites saying that "Billary" was a 'RW Joke name.' The name 'Billary,' which we see a lot here, came from republican accusations that Hillary is a 'lesbian.' So, yes, really...

Golly, it seems as if it really wasn't an Iraq WAR Resolution after all!
The past few weeks I have heard some very familiar arguements. Arguements I heard in 2002. From Republicans. Supporting the iwr. Now it is from the Hillary Herd. I guess the iwr wasn't so bad after all.

It's not a very nice trait.
Some people accept her comments on her vote, how she came to the decision, and why. They also accept her comments that if she knew then what she knows now, she would NOT have voted for the war.
But way to convolute, without saying shit! Heckuvajob!

And wait for the inspections to carry on to see if there really were WMD's instead of writing a blank check for Bush to fucking invade and bomb Iraq? I will never forgive her for that vote. Even when I was 20 years old I had enough common sense to question why they couldn't wait for inspections to carry on. That fucking war killed so many for WHAT? WHAT REASON? For what reason did all those people have to die?????????????????????????

search feature and find this whole tennis match in the archives.
And if, after reading it, and coming to the 'inevitable' ultimate (and suitably dramatic, of course) conclusion that the Senator is the RNC's Favorite Satan, you can smugly insist that you are not moved, and that she is "unforgiven"---and then you can come back here and proudly announce that yes indeed, you can NEVER vote for her.
And that's fine. Whatever.
She didn't take a gun and shoot those people. This is BUSH's WAR. Not the war of those who voted to give the bastard a precise tool that he turned around and used as a blunt fucking instrument.
Every time this is shoved on Clinton, or anyone else in Congress, Bush, in effect, gets a pass. That simplistic little dance about how terrible Senator Clinton is, as though she passed the fucking resolution all on her own, serves to obfuscate the issues and ABSOLVE BushCo in the minds of the Moron-Public who can only think simplisticly, in sound-bites.
Keep doing the RNC's work for them. I really don't care one way or another.

83. I think you want to give Hillary a pass.... |
|
Bush was not the only one responsible for this war. Everyone who voted for the IWR, especially those who voted against the Levin Amendment, share the blame. It is called responsibility.
You complain that Hillary is "unforgiven". Well, in order to be forgiven, you must at least say you are sorry. Hillary never did. Never will. So if she will not even admit she was wrong, why on Earth should anyone forgive her? Doesn't make sense.
Hillary voted for the war because she thought it was in her political best interest to do so. She has a pattern of sticking her finger to the wind before deciding things.
Why I think this is significant is that, if Hillary is elected, from DAY ONE, she is going to be running for re-election. She made a tremendous miscalculation about Iraq, and I think it is pretty clear that she would be quite likely to make a similar one, for fear that she would be viewed as "weak". Just like she did with kyl-lieberman. I don't see Hillary having the moral courage to take an unpopular position to try to halt a misconceived war, if we faced something like 9/11 in her term.
And this is a matter of life or death for thousands potentially. The iraq war has hurt us in so many ways it would take all night to list the ways.
The least Hillary could have done was to be mortified by her colossal goof and humbly beg forgiveness. Unless she shows contrition, she does not get forgiveness in my book.

I'm just not going to sit here and reargue the issues; I've done it MORE than enough.
Look it up if you really care how I feel about it. Hit that search button and have at it.
Frankly, EVERY President starts running for reelection from "Day ONE." What planet are you from? Obama would do the exact same thing. So would McCain.
Why do you say that in rather DIRE fashion? It's not a secret, it's SOP for ANY President.
Anyone who doesn't do that is a fucking idiot.

The day one is Hillary's words. If you look closely at her pattern, you know that...MORE THAN MOST....everything Hillary does is with a finger to the wind. That is why she made the dreadful mistake of voting for the iwr. She didn't even read the intelligence briefings.
Is it asking too much of a president to lead the country? Is it being a fucking idiot to expect that a president not lead us into stupid wars even if it would do political favors for the president? Is it being a fucking idiot to expect something different from a Democratic President than from George W Bush? After all, George W Bush sent us into Iraq with exactly the same reasoning Hillary used to support it...to help him politically.
It is not SOP for any president to pattern everything one does from day one for re-election! Why on earth do they get elected in the first place? To get reelected or to do a good job?
It is obvious you are so much into the old way of doing things that you cannot conceive of a president actually doing his/her job....serving the people instead of self.
What is even worse is you call people names who are patriotic enough to expect more from a president than the low bar you obviously hold for presidents.
No wonder you like Hillary, with that bar of yours so low

103. Apology comes hard for these candidates |
|
Of course, the Obama commercials claim Hillary will say and do anything to get elected, so it does seem odd that she will not say this, which would be in her political interest to say. I conclude that the Obama add is false, as she obviously will not say anything, she won't even say this one thing. So pick one. Will say anything or refuses to say anything. Mutually exclusive arguments. But then again, Obama voted to extend the Patriot Act, skipped the Kyl-Lieberman vote, and hands over his big hearty 'YES' to more and more money for a failing war he once claimed to opppose. When he had not power and no vote, he once said he opposed it. Once he had a vote and power to oppose, he in fact empowered Bush in Iraq and in the Domestic attacks on our Rights. For the IRW vote to really work for Obama, he would have needed to stand in oppostion to the War as a United States Senator. He did not do so. Has he apologized for the Patriot Act or for playing paymaster to Bush by request? He should. Those votes were wrong votes. Awaiting apology from the guy who ran as an anti-war candidate for the Senate and promised not to run for Pres in his first term, who got into the Senate and voted pro-war and pro-Bush with abandon until he started skipping the votes to run for President in his first term. Does he mean anything he says? Ever? Will he be one of those parents who says 'I don't want you to drink, but if you are going to, let me get you some good stuff?' I kind of think so. " I really oppose what he does with all that cash I give him when he asks." Yeah, sure you do, sure you do. Sometimes opposition is more difficult than other times. Seems it is far harder to oppose in the Senate than in the Statehouse. Rhetoric is fun, but votes are the real deal. I did love his fillibuster about Katrina victims though...oh wait, that was just a dream that never happened too.

How can you give him a total pass on every single IW votes while hitting Hillary for her vote in 2002? He doesn't just vote to fund it, he has also voted against congressional authorization to send additional troops, and against ANY timeline for withdrawal. It's bullshit to pretend he is somehow pristine on this issue, and she is dirty. You have to be willing to completely disregard all facts to pretend that.

See, you ignore those facts. To me, they tell me he is completely full of shit since every stump speech is him talking about her vote as if his votes didn't exist.

I think you'd be extremely hard pressed to find anyone here that supports the war. If there are, I'd wager that they're much more likely to be Obama supporters, since they're a little vague on the issues and seem to love hopping on board with media-created bandwagons.
Plus, I don't think it was Clinton supporters talking about cigars and blue dresses and shit here.

2. As long as we have jobs so we can pay for the insurance, that's great. What's her plan on jobs, apart from pandering waffle anyone can find in bulleted form on any given web site? (Same question applies to Obama.)
3. Never paid attention.

I just picked a candidate that I like better. If that candidate doesn't win, Clinton's fine by me.
Also, I would disagree with two of your points:
1) Obama has a better record on First Amendment issues than Clinton.
2) Your numbers are way way way way way off on the health care plan. Obama's plan is expected to cover half of those currently without insurance (and those it doesn't expect to cover are the folks expected not to want to sign up with the plan - it doesn't prevent them from signing up, it's just that, for whatever reason, they don't want to enroll).

They hate the Clintons because they have been the only ones able to defeat their agenda for the past 30 yrs. Has nothing to do with Obama. Your strawman just fell down.

32. You don't even know his plan, do you? |
|
You don't seem to have a clue about this issue. If you did you would know that those figures refer to the precentage of people that are not covered that would be covered under their respective plans. 100% of those not covered now would be under Hillary's plan. Only 50% of those not covered would be covered under the Obama plan, yet it costs nearly the same.

75. You made it sound like 50% of everyone. |

I know his plan mandates coverage only for children and isn't universal. It makes insurance affordable enough that you can get it if you want. What's stopping you from buying into the public plan? He's also expanding medicaid and schip.

24. I like both Obama and Clinton.. |
|
and I would support either one if nominated. but nobody told me to vote for Obama because I should "hate Hillary".
both Obama and Hillary support keeping Bush's tax cuts, for those who make less than $250,000 a year. I think all the Bush tax cuts should be phased out, we shouldn't have a single troop in Iraq..unless all those tax cuts are phased out. IMO this makes Obama's fiscal policy more in sync with his plan to bring home all the troops within 18 months.
I obey my conscience, not the fear and lies of Carl Rove or Lee Atwater. Republicans have been pawned, yet they love to watch Democrats insult and slap each other around. Republicans can slap me in the face, but I'll just turn the other cheek.
I attended a Hillary rally last week, nothing she said offended me. but she certainly didn't impress me! :eyes:

I just think he is unqualified, inexperienced, is not even as progressive as Hillary, and can't win in the general. In other words I have good reasons not to support him. With some it's just an irrational hatred of Clinton pounded in by rethugs and the MSM over 15 yrs time.

1. He has been a senator for 2.5 yrs with no, none, zilch experience in national, federal, or executive level politics. It's insane to think a guy who's highest elective office only 2.5 yrs ago was a state senator is qualified to be president of the united states, especially with the mess we are going to have to clean up.
2. The ONLY state wide race he has ever run was against Alan Keyes, an extreme right wing nut case that couldn't get elected dog catcher in Illinois.

but Hillary won two elections in a state even Mike Dukakis couldn't lose!
Obama won in a state that Stevenson, Humphrey, McGovern, Carter, Mondale, and Dukakis each lost. and those guys were loaded with experience!
feel free to vote for Hillary, but at least tell me her plan to balance the budget, pay down the debt, while indefinately keeping our troops deployed in Iraq. I like Hillary's healthcare plan, but I think Obama's plan is more likely to pass in Congress. it allows people with preexisting conditions and the uninsured to have the same coverage members of Congress now have. let's see how many Senators will filibuster that!
Hillary has allot of experience in the Senate, but so does Obama. I think Obama was a huge improvement over Carol-Moseley Braun, and I think if Braun could win year after year..then Obama can win hands down!
Obama may not be the flawless candidate, but neither is Hillary. both have serious flaws, and both would make great Presidents. attacking Obama will not make Hillary President, and all or nothing rarely works in politics. so tell me a few things that will make Obama a great President, and I'll tell you some things that will make Hillary a great President.

supporters you need to worry about if she gets the nomination, they will vote for her if she is the nominee, it will be the independents whose view has been distorted because of that

But those aren't the choices we have. But she can take AR and TN in the general, possibly FL, and he will not be able to take a single southern state. My math says if we want to win, we gotta go with Hill.

72. That is exactly right! great post. |

It is a shame that we are so easily manipulated by the media. And I just have to laugh when Obama's supporters cheer that he came so close on Tuesday. With the constant Bashing of Clinton on every media outlet--how could he not? He should have walked away with Tuesday--and despite the CONSTANT media bashing, Clinton won. It is amazing really.
Obama cannot win it on his own. The propaganda machine is on loan to him for this primary. And, I have noticed an all-out war. The media is not even hiding their hatred and bitterness against the Clintons...this morning on Morning Joe they did a story on Chelsea "begging" for votes. Now, she was calling supporters as EVERY candidate's family does. And instead, they twisted it to be negative.
It is very ugly. But shows Clinton's strength, as well as the strength of many Americans who vote their own conscience despite the barrage of attacks.

|
Any real Democrat would never support any mask-wearing Dem who protects the Bushes for YEARS while deep-sixing serious reports filled with the government corruption that led directly to 9-11.
The protection of Poppy Bush was a priority for Clintons instead of dealing honestly with all the outstanding matters in IranContra, Iraqgate, BCCI and CIA Drugrunning.
YOU want to continue the protection of the Bushes? Vote Clinton.

86. Maybe Obama has as much experience as Bill did when he ran, |
|
but he certainly doesn't have the experience of 30 years on the national scene as Hillary. He whines every time someone is mean to him. Oh, gee, if he thinks the primaries are bad....
And, finally, unfortunately, Obama doesn't have a tenth of the intellect Bill or Hillary each have. Is he stupid? No, of course not, he is smart but he doesn't rank anywhere near Hillary or Bill in the IQ department. We need a heavy duty brain to fix this mess. Being a good speaker with a winning smile, a lovely wife, two adorable kids but limited national and international bona fides is nice but just won't do it for the country. Can he be groomed for the next go round? I'm sure he can but he isn't ready now no matter how many times his supporters want to repeat the mantra "Change, change, change."

105. Billary is concerned only about themselves, as Kerry stated. They didn't help Kerry win... |
|
did they? Why is that? I'll tell you why...because they were planning a run in '08, and a Kerry win would have interfered with that plan.
The people who died in Iraq during the last four years...the people who died from lack of health care during the last four years...the people who went without medical care during the last four years....that was what Billary helped cause, all for themselves.
You vote for someone of that ilk. As for myself, I'll vote for someone who has at least appeared to have put what is best for the country above his own aspirations. For one thing, he spoke out against the Iraq War, when it was very unpopular to do so, knowing that if the war turned out well, he'd be sacrificing his future political career. That is called leadership.
Obama is our next President. Or McCain, if Billary is the nominee.
